What the fuck is with this non-posting bullshit?

Hey guys. Really enjoyed reading the old IC over the last week; awesome writing all round and a fantastic story. Seems you're having a bit of a quiet patch but I'd love to join if this is given the kiss of life (x) :D

Also, belated welcome to RPGuild. Happened to see your introductory thread from last week. Hope it's treating ya nice.

[Vilageidiotx]

We're still a tad disorganized from moving forums right now.

Glad you liked the story though! And we are definitely digging your forum.

[Crabmeat]

Ok, well when/if you are ready to accept applications, let me know :)

[Alfhedil]

Gave a bit of a read through the OP, and I'm digging the setting for the RP. I've got ideas for a spook if you guys are open to apps. =D

OH MY GOD! TEH RAYLEGUNNZ IS ALIEV

Kaus Hettinger
♂
Former Air Force Officer, now biologist

Kaus was born on August 22nd 2145 in an insignificant town out in Vermont. Kaus has always had an interest in living things, from cells to something as complex as a human being. For this reason, Kaus, from an early age, concentrated his efforts in biological sciences and hoped to become a biologist after he finished high school.

Kaus's interest turned to the Air Force, and even though he got his Bachelors Degree in Biology, he joined the Air Force at age 23. He became an excellent pilot, and reached the rank of Captain in seven years. After his successful piloting career, Kaus turned back to his life-long love: biology. Now thirty, Kaus turned to a company responsible for breeding and transplanting animals and plants that were suitable to live on Martian terrain, known as Congelion.

In 2178, a massive cargo ship carrying the last five Rhinoceroses suffered from technical issues as it was reentering Earth's atmosphere. In seconds it caught fire, and most of the crew inside did not survive. Although what really happened may never be known, the seven survivors, including Kaus, were questioned on the grounds of sabotage, as Congelion had developed quite a few enemies over the years of their existence. Kaus fought for his innocence for three years, but was eventually convicted of sabotage. Congelion gave Kaus a choice that day: Go to jail for the rest of your life, or go on the Olympus mission with their expeditionary team and have his conviction removed. His choice was obvious.

Railgun!

[Dinh AaronMk]

O hai it's that guy.

[ElectromagneticRailgun]

Back from the dead...
again...
with a half-eaten cookie...
and a half-written post.

I probably should have asked this before posting but what is Stoleto's gravity? I ask since I imagine characters from mars may have a harder time adjusting due to the lighter martian gravity they may be used to.

[ElectromagneticRailgun]

Stoleto?

[AlienBastard]

The planet has two names, Stoleto 75 C and Invictus to my knowledge.

[ElectromagneticRailgun]

I missed that. lol.

Anyway, my assumption would be Invictus would have gravity similar to Earth's, and if not, less than earth. How could plants grow if gravity is pulling them down?

An experiment I've wanted to do for a while now is see how someone would grow on Mars. The lack of gravity should make them significantly taller. if 150% of Earth's gravity would make someone a 3-foot dwarf, I wonder what 38% of Earth's gravity would do.

[AlienBastard]

Martians probably would exercise a lot to avoid that.

Which is probably why my character is so much more flimsy than hug's despite coming from the same planet.

[ElectromagneticRailgun]

Science disagrees if you were thinking they'd be 1-2 feet taller than the average human being.

[AlienBastard]

Than there's martians looking like this:

[ElectromagneticRailgun]

Gray skin can work if for some reason there was a lack of blood flowing throughout the Martian's body. Actually, that would make a lot of sense.

[AlienBastard]

Matthias is going to look like that one race of aliens hug made a long time ago.

Name: Lt. Titus Blake

Occupation: Air force pilot & officer

Bio: Titus was born to an affluent family in Great Britain. He grew up in New London in the Cloud District, high above the tideline. The family lived in a skyscraper overlooking the vast landscape and Titus became fascinated with the world that unfolded endlessly before him, desiring nothing more than to explore the vistas and cosmos, idolising the explorers of old. Earth was all but discovered, vehicles for exploring the depths of the ocean long since developed.

He received a private education and went onto train in the UN Air Force under a special scheme to pilot the newly-developed all-purpose ‘damselfly’. These ships were built to function both underwater and in the sky, resilient to intense atmospheric pressures and weaponised. The niche specialism allowed Titus to swoop immediately from graduation into work, jetted off halfway around the world to the large naval base in Sasebo, Japan.

Titus worked in the Pacific Rim for eight years, fighting in the Columbian War over Micronesia. Four years in, he took his officer examinations and became a lieutenant, captaining his own squadron of damselflies.

When the situation began to settle in the Pacific, Titus found his unit being used less and less. It was around this time an opportunity arose on Lunar. Titus was fascinated with space and was eager to explore the great crater lakes of the moon. He had built up a good reputation and was recommended by his superiors for the placement.

Though there was not much more action here than in the Pacific. His unit operated largely in a reconnaissance capacity, the damselfly useful for reaching the depths of the lakes and quickly flying to the next. It was important work but largely uneventful.

Four years after his initiation here, Titus learnt of the impending mission to Invictus. Military personnel were required for the trip and he eagerly snatched up the chance. There was nothing to hold him back: he had grown distant from his family and had no spouse. It was the perfect chance to explore; explore a landscape few or none had ever seen before.

Starting Location: Western waters of the sea to the west

Where da googer at?

Also, found this and thought it was familiar.
