Bio

New roleplay: https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/189457-the-eye-of-the-needle-where-fantasy-and-sci-fi-collide/ooc

Hey, I'm Catharyn! I joined the Roleplayer Guild on 2nd Feb 2011, then rejoined on the 17th Jan 2014 after Guildfall.

I was active every day until late 2015, accruing (i think) around 7k posts across dozens of roleplays. Then, I started working and had to gradually slow down my RP schedule. In 2017, I officially went on hiatus when other commitments got fully in the way of roleplaying.

This continued until the COVID-19 pandemic hit, when I suddenly realised I had a lot more free time in lockdown! So in mid-2020, I returned to the Guild with a vengeance. I also managed to get The Cradle 1x1 off the ground - a story i've had percolating for almost a decade.

My posting schedule has slowed down a bit now that the world has opened up again. I still love science fiction, fantasy and espionage themes, and generally aim for around 300 words per post.

I'm having trouble arriving at an appropriate species for my Jedi. Any suggestions?
Ooh, i'm super keen for this.
Do you guys need more Sith or more Jedi?
Wow, that's so cool! I've always wanted a tattoo of Libra and also a Vegvisir but been to chicken to go through with it.
Great! I'll get started in the morning. I'm GMT unfortunately. ^^
She's an accomplished administrator and personnel manager, even though her dedication to her career is bordering on the sociopathic.

Any particular way you want me to intro? Also in a few words could someone please bring me up to speed on whats happened so far and whats been achieved?
Posted my character, hope she's okay.
I took great pains to make sure her skill set is as unsuited to Kansas as possible.
Name: Amelia DuPont

Appearance:


Age: 32

Gender: Female

Occupation: Junior Operations Co-ordinator for the US Office of Naval Intelligence

Hobbies: Advancing her career, keeping fit with activities such as sailing, judo, yoga and tennis, networking with likeminded individuals, reading.

Values: Ambition, Innovation, Focus and Accomplishment mean a lot to Amelia. She is a very driven woman and can often overlook what consequences her actions have on other people.

Goal: To see if she can re-establish a US navy chain of command, preferably with her at the very top. Anywhere on the ground isn’t safe now, however USNS Comfort has enough fortitude and resources to make a fine base camp for a small group with a bit of preparation. Until she’s figured out what her exact plan is however she’s content to try and influence a group into helping her achieve her goals by achieving theirs.

History: Born as the youngest of two into a privileged but dysfunctional Maryland family, the only skill Amelia seemed to pull through college was a determination to be the best. It didn’t matter what at, but she had to get to the top. Her father managed to get her a job at ONI purely based on his years of successful field work.

Amelia was using a rare piece of holiday time to visit her brother who manages the accounts for an aerospace corporation based out of Wichita.
Ooh, i'm in. I can't resist this kind of Roleplay. Do i submit my CS to the character section or here? Confused
Okay, back in the game.
They walked in silence for a bit, which Amelia loved. The awkward pauses were basically what motivated her to start conversations in the first place. It was the slight coloring their cheeks put on and the very specific body language clusters which Amelia looked for and got excited about. Unfortunately, Rose didn't seem awkward, he had rather an absent minded look which Amelia attributed to what had just happened. She knew she should be concerned. The Roosevelt, the station they were going to be docked at in between missions, had just been utterly destroyed. In the back of her mind Amelia knew they were in trouble but somehow she wasn't feeling it. The bright chrome walls of the Vigilance were already working their magic on her, she felt safer inside the bowels of a star ship that she had done for over a year, back on earth. Anything was better than prison, even a glorious death. They were headed to their first objective now, Amelia reasoned ONI and the ESA would put 2+2 together and assume they knew nothing about it. However, the jobsworths back in Sol looooooved to make a fuss out of this kind of thing. Although even if they did now want to capture them, they'd have a hell of a time catching up now that they had a state of the art cutter. There was the possibility that the ESA had put some kind of remote kill switch which enabled them to override the Vigilance's systems and put them on whatever course they chose. She'd flag it up at this meeting. Rose started talking. His voice was gruff and at odds with the clean hallway in front of them. "Who says i haven't?" Amelia shot a cheeky glance over to him. After a few more seconds of silence she spoke up again. "I've always loved machines. My father owns an industrial complex back on Earth so i had a pretty free run of things. I eventually started going around with the pilots that tested out all the new spaceships, you know? By the time i joined the Academy i could practically fly every Alliance ship out at that time, and some that weren't even on sale yet." Amelia could hear her accent slipping out so she stopped talking. She could remember one of the pilots she'd befriended being present at the trial. He had tried so hard to remain on her side but pressure from his superiors had meant he stopped turning up to the court house. They reached the conference room; a few people were already there. Rose sat near the captain but all of a sudden Amelia felt too on edge to sit. She grasped the back of a chair with both hands and leaned very slightly on it from behind. A couple more of the crew filed in, some of the Aliens, a few new faces. There were more to come but Amelia couldn't keep quiet. "So what's the plan, keep calm and carry on?"
