Current Remember, nobody actually enjoys roleplaying if there isn't at least five shameful fetishes uncovered by the 2nd page.

Somebody stole my mood ring. I don't know how to feel about it.

Let's be honest, it's far more satisfying and challenging to actually imagine what a character looks like than paste a hundred gifs of a celebrity and call it good.

So, a team of players who are good at playing as a team in a team-based game are individually bad players. Seems kind of silly when you put it like that, no?

My goal these days is to have an RP that can actually finish, or the very least, last a few years. I see way too many die on page one to take chances

Bad news: the whale got him.
Guild related peeve: those thread titles of those threads that people use to chat with their friends (which is cool, no issues there) that follow the format of "(name of member)'s (some kind of location, usually something barf inducingly cheesy?)". They also seem like it's kind of a thing that's like, "pay attention to meeee!"

On topic of attention whoring, the amount of epeen stroking in that picture thread is unreal. If I wanted to get shitfaced, I'd go to that thread with some whisky and take a drink every time somebody posted a picture saying something self deprecating or humble bragging and then all the replies that are the overly excited "omg! You're beaaautiful! <3" that follows.
Technically, anything involving faith in an omnipotent deity kind of implies it's not something quantifiable. It's just as easy to ask a religious person to prove their God exists as they can say, "Prove my God didn't create the circumstances towards the universe's creation." And you would be unable to. Food for thought.
"We'll bang, okay?"

Works every time.

It's going to be weird not being called FM. Just call me FM.


I think I can manage that.

I think.

Also, get on Skype moar.
This is a thread Ahab would have never posted. Ever.
It's gonna be super weird not calling you FM anymore.
1. People who spend ridiculous amounts of money on their car or truck to make it super loud, beltch black smoke, and any other assorted douchebaggery to their rice/ rig rocket as some sort of status symbol/ mating display with other vehicular chucklefucks. They all univerally drive like cunts, which doesn't help matters, nor does it help they all dress exactly the same.
2. People who think they need to get drunk/ high to have fun at a party or get together of any sort.
3. Racists, sexists, homophobes and other assclowns that shit all over human decency with their narrow-minded tomfuckery.
4. YouTube or any other comment system that lets people post the most moronic dungfuckery imaginable behind the veil of anonymity. Apparently everyone is an expert about everything (especially shit they have no clue about), and are incapable of reasonable thought.
5. The word tummy. Holy shit, I hate it and I don't know why. I guess it just seems like a really childish word to refer to your stomach. It's odd.
6. How the news loves to report shit based on sensationalism to get hits instead of taking the time to verify facts. This whole instant media thing has prioritized who reports first over who reports correctly.
7. Any kind of consumerism based rivalry, like video game console wars, airsoft vs paintball arguments, which piece of expensive bullshit is apparently better than yours, et cetera. Do you like something? Good for you. Ever stop to ask why you're being an insufferable cunt to somebody else because they bought, play, or like something else you don't? Don't be that guy. It makes you like like an idiot.
8. When people slap a shitload of decals on their vehicles and become mobile advertisements. Yes, we get you like Monster energy drink and Metal Bullshithia. We also don't give a shit and think maybe, just maybe, you should stop being a brand zealot because advertisements and your social clique tell you it's cool.
A quick note about conscription in turian forces, all citizens begin military training at 15. Make sure to double check the age with the dates.
Couple minor things I would like to point out, first being thermal clips were introduced after the geth attack on the Citadel, somewhwere before ME2, so your weapons have heat sinks. The next is we're focusing on a character driven store and kind of moving away from the video game structure. As such, having levels on equipment is unnecessary, so the base weapon is fine and we tend to like people not to shoehorn themselves into the game's classes. You can pick skills from any of the soldier skills, not just the one class. You can also pick more than three.

Another thing is the game's about mercs scraping by in the galaxy, so chances are, your character wouldn't likely have access to expensive military hardware, since that's A) issued kit he wouldn't have for personal use, especially after being discharged, and B) he's going to have to buy most of hus junk out of pocket, especially things like rocket boots. Things like the Warfighter amp, aren't necessary.

Onto the history!

One thing I need to point out is turian military personnel are all conscripted, so your character would have had to serve regardless of political atmosphere, and if anything, the turians would want to be keeping on edge over humanity showing up on the galactic stage. Picking the 26th as his career goal is totally good, but he likely would have been given his posting after graduating from basic military training.

For the most part I actually really enjoy the character and his history (I laughed out loud at the Fornax bit), and honestly think he'll be a great fit! Couple more things you need to address, though:

First, if it's military issue and it's not footwear, head dress, or gitch, you don't get to take it home, period. That especially applies to very expensive hardware and weapon tech, which is a biiig no no. As well, he wouldn't be permitted to modify military kit unless he was authorized by his unit and was an armourer. It's government property, and modifying shit while remaining untrained and unauthorized is a great way to get court martialled. Plus, he's a soldier, not a tech expert. He shouldn't know how to do that stuff.

Next, Nova hardly has a reputation and has barely had more than a high profile missions which are small scale compared to more established and better funded groups. You may wish to work on why and how he came into contact with the team. Also, he's not beginning the RP as a member of Nova, he's going to be recruited in a way we all have to discuss to see what works. It's kind of strange to have an established game that's been running since spring last year and suddenly pretend there's this one character that nobody acknowledged or spoke of or to before just there out of nowhere.

Lastly, because of that, he's not going to have a room because they're all claimed. Something everyone needs to talk over.

Overall, a great start with some pretty simple fixes! :)
