The Parallel Campaign

@Perpenheimer Of course, no probs mate. I tried to keep it as mundane as I could, since not a lot of info has been given to us about life inside the Concord or the Collective.

The Parallel Campaign

@Perpenheimer Here is the CS I made. It isn't complete yet since it is getting kinda late here, but I hope it will suffice for now. Additionally, I will be making the CS for his ship tomorrow.

Please don't put me on the stake for spelling errors, only the caffeine from my Pepsi keeps me awake at this hour. Mistakes are bound to happen. I'll correct them upon a later date to make teh CS more appealing.

Thobias Thane

Thobias Thane

Species: Human

Age: 216

Sex: Male

Appearance:
Thobias is nothing out of the ordinary. He has black hair and eyes with little facial har. He also has pair of neural input networks running dwon from his hairline to his eyes. He has a standard-ish body build, thought he is slightly thinner and taller due to spending a lot of time outside gravity wells.

History:
//This one is kinda long, since our characters live for so long and all that//

History

Thobias grew up on Earth, inside the Tyche Concord. He spent his early life as a med student, but would eventually choose not to be employed by a greedy corporation and instead take his knowledge to the Vanguard. He enlisted at the tender age of 29 to become a Lifekeeper, leaving his home planet of Earth to the nearby Mars. Despite hating Martians pretty much all through his life, he had to make do with his assignement on the red planet if he wanted to pursue his dreams of being a doctor.

The dream was short lived however, and he would find out that most of the cases he had to attend could be easely done by robots and machines. The few cases he did on duty earned him no respect in the corps, and he would soon grow to be disillusioned with being a medic. At the age of 35 he transitioned to the Combatants of the Vanguards. As a combatant he spent long years training and being on different odd duties, earning several promotions, but never going further than E-!. However, the tension between him and some of the Martian officers grew with each passing day, as he would often make remarks about the Martian's greed when they joined the Concordat and left Earth behind. Despite his best efforts to contain his anger with them, this resulted in a heated argument which earned him a demotion and a reassignement to peaceful colony of Rivendell.

Here, Thane would find his true calling: being a pilot. Never before has he even considered being one, but after visiting the vast wildernesses of Rivendell and gazing upon the bright blue sky and the gas giant looming above, he wondered what it could be like. Still young at the age of 56, he would appeal to the few contacts he had to be moved to the Air Combatants. Here Thane turned out to be a great candidate, and a truly skillful pilot. His skills at handling fighters and gunships was unmatched in his own division, and beating some of the previous aces on Rivendell in mock battles, Thane would earn fame thanks to his unparalelled perfomances.

A good 30 years would pass in this relatively peaceful state of mind, and Thane would find the love of his life on Rivendell. A fighter pilot by the name of Amanda, with whom he shared a strong relationship with through the years. However, fate is a twisted thing. During a large inter-branch tournament, he would be sent back to Mars once again to pose as one of the competitors from Rivendell. He would be beaten in the finals, leaving him angered. And on this fateful day, he lashed out at several Martians, calling them traitors to humanity and almost eneded up in a fight. After the event he was discharged from the Vanguards and Thobias went back to Earth. From the money he saved up he bought a large dropship that he began using to ferry materials and become a trader.

Despite earning a fortune from trading, Tobias didn't find this line of work suited for him, so he transitioned to a different job: bounty hunting. Sacking his old ship and using his military contacts he managed to acquire a small frigate at the age of 126. He would go on to traverse the Concordat spaces where the Vanguard wouldn't patrol, and hunt for bounties. For some 90 years now he's been doing jobs in almost every sector of the Concordat and occasionally the Collective. Despite not being in the military anymore, he still keeps in touch with Amanda, and they spend every avaible oppurtinity together. He has amassed considerable wealth during these years, some of which he spent in tuning his ship and gear.

Personality:
Thobias is a straight forward person who has their mind in the right place. He is a strict realist, taking everything as it is: no less no more. He is very fond of comradiere, and he is very friendly and approachable. Thobias is a man of action who likes to get things done and rarely sits on his ass doing nothing. He usually acts brash, thought he has a reasonable side. A lot like other military personnel, he has no problems with other alien races, thought Martian humans are his personal weakness.

Allegiance: The Tyche Concord

Personal Effects:
-Kalligan BR-1: Easely the most recognisable weapon of Kalligan Industries along with the BR-2 and BR-5 models, this assault rifle spews out hot lead faster than the Millenium Falcon can make the Kessel run. A simplistic design that is borderline a machine gun in an easely carriable body, the BR-1 is a trusty gun that has seen many iterations and is favored by both freelancers and militaries across the Collective and the Concord. Like many other Kalligan guns, the BR-1 has minimal electrical componenets and uses propellant acceleration, which makes it less powerful than electromagnetic guns, but it also makes it a whole lot cheaper. If you're looking for a gun you can buy for the price of a good scotch whiskey, then look no further.

-Spartan Mk I_C: Marked with the C denotion, this particular design of the Spartan armor foregoes all the fancy sensory equipment that was put into the military version, and instead focuses on making the suit more comfortable and sleek. A pricey addition to one's wardrobe, the Mk I_C is an effective deterrance against muggers, and provides excellent protection for short space walks^*. Will stop small caliber bullets and provides the user with extra survivability in hostile enviroments thanks to advanced life support systems.

^*Martinez Plating Conglomerate© and Kalligan Industries© doesn't take responsibility for any injuries suffered during space walk with the Spartan Mk I_C^TM suit.

-Hunting Knife: Despite living in a technologically advanced civilization, the ancient power of hurting bestoved upon extremely sharp blades in teh hands of skilled fighters should not be unerestimated. In the off chance that your gun is out of reach when someone decides to attack you on the job, this nasty piece of steel will cause a swelling wound in anyone's side you choose to stick it into. If they are still not sure about leaving you alone, just twist the blade to deter all but the most drunken attackers.

-Bounty Board Deluxe 9000^TM: The best friend of any freelancer and bounty hunter, this small device searches independently from the Nexus for nearby bounties, both legal and not-so-legal and sends them to your neural feed. Never a boring moment when you have direct access to funny childhood videos of your victims as you pull up your ship to blast them to pieces.

_{Bounty Board Deluxe 9000 is a trademark of Big Shot}

@Perpenheimer

Like you, I also have an expansive Sci-Fi universe that I use in my web series, and I figured I'd bring some of the bigger names here if you don't mind. Of course, these are purely for cosmetic reasons, since they change nothing about each weapon's effectiveness.

Companies

ENSON Corporations:
-Enson: A Hyperion based subsidiary and the name sake of ENSON, a wepaons manufacturer that deals in electromagnetic weaponary, ranging in all shapes and sizes, from handguns to capital installements.
-Ophelia Heavy Lifting: A subsidiary of ENSON, they produce mostly civilian cargo freighters, but also produce a variety of military grade gunships and transports, as well as smaller frigates.
-Brodwell Vehice Solutions: A subsidiary of ENSON, specializing in civilian and military grade vehicles. Most of their military designs are light scout vehicles or APCs.

Kalligan Industries:
-Kalligan: A highly liked branch of KI, Kalligan is the namesake of the company thanks to their vast selection of simplistic yet effective propellant based small arms. They advertise guns that are reliable in every situation, and come with only minimal moving parts and little to no electronic components.
-K-Tec: A branch of KI that oversees the company's developement of energy weapons. They produce mostly military grade laser rifles, thought they have several plasma gun models.
-Martinez Plating Conglomerate: A recently acquired subsidiary of KI, Martinez PC produces a wide variety of defensive solutions. Contrary to the name, they produce things like ECMs and CIWSs as well as armor platings. They came to fame after releasing the highly regarded line of "Spartan" personal armor, which are a now few decades old series of military grade exo-suits that still see use to this day.

On an additional note, I'm working on designing my character now. Should be good fun.

The Parallel Campaign

@Perpenheimer Can one use custom manufacturers for tehir ships/equipment, or must they be from the ones you listed?

The Parallel Campaign

@Perpenheimer What do you allow in terms of military personnel? Can we play as a gun-for-hire or strictly military personnel?

The Parallel Campaign

@Perpenheimer Heya! Came here straight from the interest check.

First of all, let me just be amused for a few seconds as I look upon the WIKI of the RP. Like WOW.

Anyways, I hope you have some more space for an xtra member who is ABSOLUTELY enthralled by anything sci-fi related. Like, pretty please?

Steampunk ⚙ Big Ass Monsters

@Traps Sorry that I disappeared like that. I didn't have time to do anything with a lot of things going on both at school and work.

I don't really want to come here and ask to be able to join despite this, mostly because I don't know if I'll have the time to actually participate on a regular basis. Nevertheless the RP looks awesome and the work you are putting into it is astonishing. Maybe in the future I'll come by and visit one of your toher RPs when I'll finally have time.

Anyways, take care you guys and have fun

Steampunk ⚙ Big Ass Monsters

@Traps Bipolar seems fun.

I've begun working on my character, but finding a pic will take several hours.

@BespeckledCeph And he will sing "smoke weed every day", every day.

@Traps Would a robot capable of no autonomy, but capable of responding to orders be okay?
