[boomlover]

looks cool thanks man i hope you dont mind that ist taking so long to start. will do this is my first time being a gm bye the way si expect some fails

[SwarthyBard126]

Nah, it's fine, though may want to PM the other people that we are starting soon.

[Marcus XVI]

I would like to politely inquire if there would be room for another character in this?

[Dondude]

I am interested, as well. How many confirmed characters do you have playing total?

[boomlover]

ah thank god more people yes al of you are welcome sned me a cs first warning this is my first time being a gm so atlast expect a few fails in the furture. and i have 1 who hasnt realy shown up yet aka the cyber samurai

[Marcus XVI]

Now, just to ask if such a character would be approved, I was thinking this fellow who used to lead a relatively strong, but small federation with his/her own resourcefulness, charisma and a good heap of backstabbing until he/she was (most likely literally) stabbed in the back and the whole federation crumbled back to infighting between the character's generals.

[SwarthyBard126]

@Marcus XVI
I feel he would butt heads with the the GM's character a bit, due to their kinda similar backgrounds.

[Marcus XVI]

Well not necessarily - perhaps my character would be content to just provide a cold, snide commentary to the other fellow's actions since he/she has already seen a self built federation crumble?

Though taken in to consideration that McLoyed doesn't seem like a nice guy at all he might not approve of snide comments... Which might not turn out very good for the people involved in the conversation...

But wouldn't a confrontation between two people with similar backgrounds, but completely different views of the world make for some decent RP atleast?

[SwarthyBard126]

@Marcus XVI
i never said it was a bad thing, i'm actually interested in this idea.

[boomlover]

It would marcus also mcloyed is an Asshole but he isnt hearthless /not yet anyway/ so he wont kill you if you Piss HIM if and since we are so alike it would probably turn love hate relation ship since they respect but also hate eachother since there the same and since they both made the same misstakes. I agree with swarthy here the idea could create alot of rp beteewn us

[Marcus XVI]

Well I'll post up a rough CS here and then we can work out the little details, ok?

[SwarthyBard126]

Can I add another pic to give more detail to my armor and gun?

My Hider

[Dondude]

Looks like you're in serious need of a support member. Adding my CS now, but I will probably add a bit more to this some point tomorrow.

Garth

Name: Garth Montgomery

Age: 24

Gender: Male



Personality: Garth is more of a lofty dreamer than an actual doer. If he had a say in the matter, he would be quite content if he could laze about on a tropical planet for the rest of his days; even as the rest of the universe crumbles. Unfortunately, that requires quite a lot of cash. And that is exactly what Garth is seeking, first and foremost.

Strengths: Garth is a naturally gifted pilot, and seems to pick up on vehicles as if they were second nature (be it as big as a battleship cruiser, or as small as a hoverboard). This tends to be rather infuriating to actual engineers, considering Garth knows next to nothing about their actual construction or their intricate machinery. Furthermore, Garth is also quite capable as a medic when given the proper tools.

Weaknesses: He has next to no experience in combat, and as such, combat skills would be considered "average" at best. He's a decent backup shot with a laser pistol if the time calls for it, but don't expect him to risk his life in the crossfire unless the situation is dire/he's already in the thick of it. And if somebody comes charging with a photon axe, you best expect him to run with his tail between his legs.

Equipment(Include any droid, weapon and armour you may have)

Biography(One paragraph detailing the character's past): Something along the lines of studying to become a doctor, then discovering his innate talent with vehicles (again, I'll have more details probably by tomorrow).

Romance: Yes, straight

[Marcus XVI]

Ok, here's the rough draft.

Name: Ramia Zeon, the Halcyon General, former High Lady of the Xian Federation

Age: 32

Gender: female

Appearance: Ramia stands just under 6 feet. Her hair is on the darker side of brown and extends just beyond her shoulders. Ramia's shoulders are quite broad in comparison to the rest of her body. Her face is quite pretty - though the large burn marks on her left cheek mar the overall image.

Her left arm has been also burned badly and has been reinforced with a second grade bionic enhancements of sub par quality - with some of the remaining burnt tissue still visible and the fake skin peeling off here and there to reveal the metal underneath it.

Ramia's right eye still has it's icy blue color and piercing stare, but the left one has been replaced with a bionic prosthetic that occasionally flickers between green and red-ish orange.

Most distinct feature of Ramia's clothing is the gray officer's jacket of her's and a black leather trench coat that's obviously two to three sizes too large for her - so it has obviously belonged to someone else in the past.

Personality: Ramia can be at times a real pain to work with - though she adapts well to all kinds of situations she'd still rather handle things her own way. Keeping the Xian Federation in check for nearly 4 years has taken it's toll on her, making Ramia even more cold, calculating and cynical.

Deep down she is a caring person - not that she'd admit it to anyone not extremely close to her - and will put the safety and even well being of others over her own.

Strengths: Expert tactician - in both space and ground combat, charismatic leader and a very gifted speaker, is an ace pilot.

Weaknesses: Ramia is able to get very little sleep at nights due to the pain caused by the haphazardly installed bionic arm of hers, she also has a nasty habit of underestimating people based solely on first impressions.

Equipment:

Of the very few resources Ramia still has at her disposal the Guardian Mark IV Bipedal Flight Suit is perhaps the most awe inspiring even if it's missing nearly three quarters of it's armaments.

The humanoid shaped Flight Suit stands at nearly 50 feet tall and is armed with a pair of high caliber machine guns that are mounted on it's left arm - admittedly the Mark IV should have a pair of shoulder mounted missile pods, but those have either been removed or there has not been any time to actually install them. The right arm should also contain a high powered laser cannon, but judging by the very shoddy wiring and barely held up plates that has been removed as well.

The only two parts of the BFS that seem to be in remarkable condition are the thrusters mounted on it's shoulders and feet - and the cockpit situated inside the machine's chest. The Guardian's paintwork is peeling off here and there, but the stylized spear emblem of the Xian Federation can still be seen on it's chest.

Biography: Ramia Zeon was born in a space colony to a family of soldiers. Many generations of the Zeon family had been soldiers with variable success. Ramia herself showed interest in warfare at an unnervingly young age - first in simulations ofcourse, but at the age of 16 she had already taken part in her first real battle. She rose through the ranks at an alarming speed - mostly by the qualification of being one of the few remaining officers alive after nearly any conflict. At the age of 26 - to her own amazement and to the amazement of those around her - Ramia was given the title of a general, which wasn't quite unheard of, but still caused quite a fuss.

She however quickly proved that she was just as good - if not even better - at leading the troops and fighting with them on the front lines. By 27 she had earned the nickname of Halcyon General for her remarkable ability to keep her cool even under the most dire situations.

At 28 Ramia let a coup at a small colony called Xian, crushing all resistance without suffering nearly any casualties. The Xian Federation was born soon after and Ramia was appointed as the acting head or the High Lady. She spent her time playing mind games with the other main members of the coup, slowly causing infighting and making her hold over the Federation even tighter.

Some might say that she should have seen what was coming - the few remaining originators of the Federation finally saw through her plans, Ramia was deposed and - in a moment of utter imbecility on the behalf of the new leaders of the federation - actually left alive. She was imprisoned, but managed to escape by again manipulating the leaders, causing another wave of infighting.

She lost an arm and an eye during her escape and only managed to hijack a Guardian BFS instead of any of the newer models - the one she got wasn't even fully armed, but that was not the most important thought in Ramia's mind back then. The fact that she had survived was. As she flew away to relatively safety from Xian she saw under her the colony - her Federation - literally disappear in to flames.

A year has passed, some people are still wary of the Halcyon General, some say she died when the Xian colony was destroyed, but some people know better.

Romance: Yes.
