@LovelyAnastasia It was just a bit of a yolk, I get it.

Gera Zsoldos - Pilot

It wasn’t every day that you got chosen for a mission as singularly important as the one Gera was chosen for. I mean, sure, he volunteered for the mission, but he didn’t just volunteer. No, Gera was contacted. Maybe he was contacted after the first three candidates declined the job, but fourth out of hundreds of thousands wasn’t exactly shabby either! Pa called him a fool, and Ion? Well, he used some more… choice language. Neither of them thought going was a good idea.

Like hell he wasn’t though! Who in their right mind would decline getting paid to ferry people across fucking galaxies? There was, of course, the slightly unsettling nature of his briefing. Gera wondered if the lead pilot had received similar instructions. He resolved to discuss it with them once he figured out who the hell they were. "I'm yer pilot, Miora. Donna go callin' me nothin' else, less ye want me to rearrange yer face, a'ight? Now, what are ye stations, ladies?"

Well that answered that question.

Gera approached Miora, and tapped her on the back. “Co-Pilot Gera Zsoldos reporting for duty,” He said with a smile, giving a mock salute. “I hope you’re as capable as you are old fashioned!” And by old fashioned, he meant hundreds of years old type of old fashioned. Who the hell was this person? She intrigued him, to an extent. At least this trip wasn't making out to be a boring one.

Anton Kyznetsov - Doctor

Anton strode towards the crew’s rendezvous point, his thick, human hand clutching a heavy duffle bag. The left hand's metallic counterpart was holding on to a similar bag, and was thankfully free of pain. Peering out from beneath his flat cap, Anton spotted a small gathering of individuals. Two soldiers for certain. Who are the others? Too early to tell. Most likely part of the crew. He advanced on the group, standing a respectful distance away. He could afford to wait.

@NPC I believe the role you're looking for is electrical technician. :p

@FortunesFaded It's my hope that I'll have a post up before Monday.

EDIT: Post is up. Anton's portion is significantly shorter than Gera's, but I didn't want to shoehorn him into the interactions.

So life is sort of a bitch and I haven't gotten my dossier for Anton yet anyways, so I'm going to hold off on posting for now. Still invested here though, and want it to succeed.

@FortunesFaded Ah okay, I thought that was the official but I wasn't certain. I have a few ideas for the corporal and I might be able to knock a pilot together this weekend too.

EDIT: Character app has been updated slightly since my submission of Gera, added his personality.

@FortunesFaded Are we going to keep Skully in the RP? I could prepare an improved version of the app if you want, or make a new one if nobody else wants to.

Additionally, when will we be able to create NPCs for the Official and the Pilot? Assuming you and nobody else wants to, that is.

If I am willing to use this character in tandem with Gera, may I?

Anton

Name:
Anton Kyznetsov

Age:
40

Gender:
Male

Profession:
Doctor

Nationality:
Romania, European Union

Birth Planet:
Mars

Appearance:
Anton is an imposing figure. A well muscled man just shy of six feet and a gaze that can bore a hole through lead, he isn’t one to be trifled with. His bushy black beard, baggy eyes, and worry lines coupled with his rough olive skin make him appear much older than he actually is. His face seems to be set in a frown, though the occasional smile from him is not uncommon. The unfriendly glint of his metallic right hand match his steel grey eyes chillingly well.

Strengths:
Primary- Anton’s first and foremost skill is quick and effective medical treatment in high pressure situations, provided he has the proper equipment with him.

Secondary- Officially trained as a combat medic, Anton is in peak physical condition for a man his age, being able to best even many younger than him, and knows how to handle himself in fights, both long range and close quarters.

Tertiary- While Anton has minimal actual combat experience aside from stupid punks trying to pull shit in the colonies, his other role as a doctor has ensured that he’s seen sights most men couldn’t dream up in their worst nightmares. Very little phases him.

Weaknesses:
Primary- Perhaps Anton’s most glaring flaw, is his secret addiction to painkillers. Phantom pains from the accident that cost him his right hand beg the mercy of sweet euphoria. He knows all too well the symptoms of withdrawal, and stays well stocked because of this.

Secondary- The Hippocratic Oath may not technically include the tenet “Do No Harm”, but Anton often hesitates when put into a situation forcing him to take the life of another. A hesitation that may one day cost him his life.

Tertiary- The same phantom pains that turned Anton to drugs could also risk the life of another. A slip up during a delicate procedure may be deadly to his patients.

Personality:
Anton is a rather shut off figure, hiding the brunt of his emotions behind a veil of cool confidence. This front may not even be far from reality, as one can develop a certain cynicism when one holds the life of another in their hands on a daily basis. Whenever compassion is ever shown, it is often from his actions, rarely words.

History:
When Gabriel was young enough to still be in school, but old to be left alone and not feel the discomfort and longing that comes with disconnection, Anton finally took his wife of fifteen years on the honeymoon of a lifetime that they both deserved. A month long tour of all of the Earth’s most jaw dropping and awe inspiring landmarks. It was on the trip that Elena lost her life in a horrific car accident, the same one that smashed Anton’s hand, leaving him powerless to save her.

His relationship with his son began to slowly fall apart after their mother, the glue holding them all together, passed. After becoming totally estranged from Gabriel, was it any wonder that Anton signed on for the Willman job, an expedition full of unknowns and potential risks?

Family:
Gabriel Kyznetsov - Son - Security Guard - Mars, English Colony

@FortunesFaded I've been Co-GM on multiple RPs on another site (plus a few here), and managing the OOC/reviewing apps essentially became by primary role. On that site, people loved the way I picked through their apps, so I guess I didn't see the need to change my behavior from site to site if I was praised for it from where I came. However, picking through their apps entailed a full review, including pros, cons, sometimes neutral points, and then an overall summary of the app + what they could have done to improve. So I guess it would be harder to feel offended in the way I did reviews.

I understand that how people take criticism varies wildly from individual to individual, a fact I wasn't considering due to the above reasons. I've taken great strides towards becoming an entirely neutral and unbiased critic from where I started, but maybe I'm not there yet. I don't know. If I ever feel the need to speak up again, I'll use a lighter hand. It's something I can do, but never really felt the need for.

TL;DR I understand where my fault lies, and will work even harder to improve. A great reviewer shouldn't be able to offend even the touchiest of individuals. That's what I'm going to achieve.

@User@FortunesFaded The "I don't mean to be a jerk" comment was serious. I didn't insult User, and after reading over my post a few times, I can say with certainty that my tone was in no way condescending. The complaints were legitimate. Just because I don't hand my criticism out on a silver platter doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it. My tone was frank. Frank. I saw something wrong and I pointed it out.

And User, please don't complain about my apparant behavior towards you and then proceed to bad mouth me like I can't see it in a public place.

I had to say my piece here, as everyone else had. We can take it to PMs now or just end it here.
