USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

New message from: Bridge
New message from: Cafeteria
Alert!: User found accessing unauthorized material
Warning!: Server nearing stress level maximum
New task from Maintenance: Reboot hangar door control
Reminder: Status report to Commander Mason to be sent
Alert!: Server stress level at 95%

"Zariana, please help." Amy mumbles, tapping quickly on her console. Ever since Captain Ray had gone missing, some sort of 'command council' had been erected, yet Amy still didn't really understand who was in true command. She just followed orders. Halfway through writing a reply message to the cafeteria, another alert popped up. Alert!: Server stress level at 99%! Resetting! Amy brang her fist down on her desk loudly, causing the Neural Networks assistant to look at her sadly. He, too, had been in the process of writing something when his screen had winked off. This happened for the two of them, however for the other computers, all of which would be connected to the network, would fail to access the database of the ship. The server was state-of-the-art, built to sustain a lot of load, however the massive rate of message influx had just decimated it.

After a few minutes, Amy went back to typing her message, before working on her report to Commander Mason. It simply was a mail with several attachments of files, and a note about the server crash.

Dear Commander Mason

On this file are attached files of reports from individual departments. I have to forward them to you, as the administrative head does not want any more reports. He got fed up again.

On a major side note, the server crash we just encountered a few minutes ago was not a fault on the neural networks department. We are receiving a massive message influx, of which ninety percent is not to be sent to us. Everyone is nuts.

Regards
Amy Skydawner
Neural Networks Administrator

With a deal of hesitation, Amy sent a copy to her department head as well, before she started to sort through other messages with her assistant.

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

Yam Yaskradawne (Amy Skydawner)

NAME: Yam Yaskradawne (Amy Skydawner)
RANK: Ensign

DEPARTMENT, POSITION: Support, Neural Networks operator - A neural networks operator controls administrative things, and sorts out things. If someone sends a report of a pipe needing repaired, the operator would organised a repair team to be sent. They also control things such as the ship's internet, viewing security cameras and monitoring what the crew does and making sure that they don't do anything breaking laws or restrictions. They have access to all of the machines, so they can check status, and help with things such as robotic refueling of fighter craft, etc. The Neural networks operator carries around an Admin Deck to interface with the ship if they are away from their terminal.

RACE: Zenohunt (allied with Union, however with seperate fleets and militaries) - Zenohunts are human, however they have a mixed variety of what appears to be almost Earth animal features. Some may have the tail of a dog, others may have the ears of a cat. Only a tiny percentage have wings, and an even smaller percentage of them can actually fly. For this, Zenohunts are often reffered to as the 'alternate universe of Humans', of DNA that could mix with that of animals. In truth, nobody knows how Zenohunts came to be alike the Earth species. Some tribes of Zenohunts think Zariana chose for them to be that way. Zariana is the god of all Zenohunts. She watches over them, and blesses them, ensuring they are well.

Zenohunts never left their home system when they gained space technology. There were only three planets in their star system, Lemea, Popel and Candor, along with many, many asteroids, both individual and in varying sizes of belts, though the only major cities would be found on Lemea. Those two cities are the only two cities that are left untouched in the endless Zenohunt war. Ehop and Yasanctuar (Hope and Sanctuary, in English) will forever remain the two only cities in Zenohunt territory.

Asteroids and planets are not the only thing that you would find in the Zenohunt star system. Upon arrival, one would gasp at the sheer amount of ship debris in the system. Countless bases hidden in the asteroids showed that the Zenohunts were unmovable from their system. If a mysterious ship were to show up, it would die by either a Zenohunt battle group or by a hidden weapons platform, dug deep into an asteroid.

The only reason that Humans survived when they arrived was because they came upon one of the more civilized of Zenohunt groups. Peace was agreed toward the Humans, however Zenohunts still battled eachother frequently because of disputes and other matters.

Zenohunts speak 'Zenospeak', however they began learning English as well once Humans came along. One of the main facts of Zenohunts is that they are taught what they want to be when they are older from a very young age. If a child says, "Mommy, I wanna be a police man when I'm older", guess what? He's probably going to end up in a security role. If some little girl watches to much news and TV and says "Daddy, I want to work with MTA cannons!" They'll be working either as a gunner or tactical weapons officer on a ship. Something frowned upon by other races is that yes, Zenohunts train their young to be what they first said without a change of mind, however Zenohunt young will literally be what they want at a young age, or be something similar. For example, a Zenohunt learning to be a gunner will probably have the chance to be a Coota (one of various Zenohunt vehicles. Specifically, a Coota is a small vehicle that is literally a car with a machine gun on it. Young gunners use those as they require very little experience to use.) gunner at the age of fourteen. Obviously, higher roles, such as manning a tank, will require an older age and/or a lot more training.

AGE: 19
GENDER: Female
APPEARANCE: This image, however, she has the ears of a grey wolf, and the tail of a grey wolf.

SHORT BIO: Amy was born in Yasanctuar, so she was safe from a lot of the fighting that happened occasionally on Lemea. However, this sanctuary didn't go on for long. "I want to be a computer lady on a ship flying through space!" That sentence sentenced her to training in the navy. At fifteen years old, with a final exam passing of 90%, she was flown to space and stationed on a frigate in the Yasanctuar navy. From that point on, she went ship hopping, one time because of a promotion to Ensign, another time because of an attack that ended up with her ship being damaged to the point where personnel were forced to use their escape cells, but mainly just because of re-assignment, even to Union ships. That eventually ended up with her being stationed on the USS Audacia.

PERSONALITY:
+Friendly
+Supportive
=+Tries to socialize
=Slightly shy
=-Easy to frighten
=-Slightly upsetable
-Gets angry to those who speak badly of Zenohunt religion toward Zariana

TALENTS/FLAWS:
+Able to manage her role well
+Formal during work-time
+Trained in hand-to-hand and short-range weapon combat
=-Has mood shifts every-so-often
-Tends to attack if threatened

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

@hoppiholla391
Major question:
Due to the disappearance of Captain Ray, would Commander Mason be next in line as command?

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

Aye aye, capt- I mean, Commander! Thank you very much, ma'am! *Salutes*

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

I may have posted this in the wrong section because someone else did it. *Points at SuperTacticalDerp* Him. Him. It was him. Blame him!

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

I know. :P But I'm probably gonna grab Neural Networks manager. You'll see what that is when my sheet is up.

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

Nuuu, you stole pilottt! xD I'll probably nab the navigator of the ship while I still can, then. Or something else. xD Can't decide.

USS Audacia: Boldly Going Where We Really Shouldn't

I'll probably claim a pilot. :P I barely know anything about either Star Trek or Mass Effect (though I'm a little more used to Mass Effect as I've played the first one), but there is many sources of info I can use. ^_^
Probably gonna make up my own race, too. :P

By the way, you should probably put up a 'Race Sheet' so people have guidelines if they wanna make their own race.

Anyone Read 'Ready Player One'? No? Take a look anyways!

Hey there! Some of you may know me already, but for those that don't, I'm datadogie. As the title asks, has anyone read the novel 'Ready Player One'?

Well, I have, and I find the book to be quite an adventure. My second question to you is, do any of you want to create a 1x1 RP based around this fantastic book? I believe we could create an amazing RP together, not just from the competition within the book itself, but in other things. There are many things to do in the OASIS.

Oh, so you haven't read the book? Well, here is my brief summary:

Book Spoilers inside

In datadogie-tongue:
Life has gone bad, overpopulation, all that jazz. War, bandits roaming areas between cities, all that fun and rainbows. Oh, you wanted a beautiful rainbow? Too bad. If there even was one, it'd be great if you could actually see past all the stacks of trailers that serve as housing.

Though, that is where the OASIS comes in. The OASIS is like, say, Oculus Rift, or some other VR device. However, the OASIS was developed by James Halliday. This device along with millions of others has created the biggest MMORPG of all time. However, it's much more than an MMORPG. You put on the goggles, you put on the gloves, and it takes you to a completely new place. Graphics that are ultra-realistic, walking around, ect. However, it isn't just you there. Pretty much every OASIS user is there. There isn't multiple servers, just one massive one that holds billions of players with literally zero lag. You can get different things, like suits that can simulate feelings, etc. OASIS has grown so large that even the governments use it for school. Sometimes, schools give you an OASIS console, and you can keep it as long as you attend school.

Still not understanding? Let's just put this the simplest way I can:
Real life: Mess, war, terrorism, smog, rubbish.
OASIS: Magic, artifacts, sci-fi, fun, beauty, EVERYTHING.

Oh, that's one thing I forgot to mention. In the OASIS, there is magic, there are pets, everything. You can level up to level 99, which is the max. You can get ships, buy your very own fortress or even your own planet, though this costs A LOT. You die, and you reset back to level 1 with nothing but... Nothing.

Onto the main plot of the actual book: The Easter egg
James Halliday, one of the two developers of the OASIS, finally passed away. He left all of his fortunes behind, however, for one OASIS user to claim. However, that user had to complete a lot of puzzles to find out how to get these. Mr Halliday loved Easter Eggs, and so he left his one easter egg in the OASIS for a user to find. However, this isn't as easy as, "Oh, let's do some Halo 2 Jumping or sword flying". OASIS users have been searching for this easter egg for YEARS. These people were named 'Gunters', a pick on the term "easter egg hunters". Halliday left a message with a clue to get to this egg. He had been a popular fan of the eighties, the nineties, and those times where there were coin-op games like pacman.

ROUNDOFF: In real life, mess, wars, etc. In OASIS, fun, rainbows, PvP, etc. Developer dies, leaves fortunes for people to find out how to get through an easter egg he left in the game. People hunting for egg, very hard, 5 years, etc.

Yeah, that wasn't so brief.

Back on track, I'd be happy to do an RP on this or based on this book. If you have any questions, please leave them below. And if you wish to RP, also leave a post, or PM me. I do my RPs through threads or PMs.

By the way, my standards go from free up to high casual, depending on what my partner (you!) decides to write. Write a little, and I'll try to work with it. Write a bunch, and I'll try to keep up!

The last Survivors

Sorry, I am incredibly ill. Can someone take over my character temporarily?
