BTW do we have any more apps in the pipeline from folks not on the Discord?

@Lord Frostecs

Not a big problem, but generally we put the characters in the OOC first then move to the character sheet once they are formally accepted. I had missed your application until Bing pointed it out.

So we had a little chat about the character in the background. Generally he's fine, but we'd like you to scrap the brain implant. There is a bit of background lore about tissue regeneration being used in the setting so having some kind of experimental stem cell treatment would fit better. Otherwise all good!

@Awesomoman64 Looks good!

Graveyard Orbit

All in all I think we have a good cast coming along

Chronicles of Minadra

No there isn't... I'm happy for you to app if you like, but I think only @Tesserach are I are still writing

Graveyard Orbit

@enmuni@JFK@PatientBean

All accepted!

We aren't going to be accepting any more 'special' characters at this point (unless we already know you are working on one).

Graveyard Orbit

@PatientBean Cool... feel free to work on a full app. We might ask you to modify it a bit depending upon the exact details.

How specific would you want this oracle to be? If its just muttering weird stuff indicating that an event is coming up that's fine... if it's predicting the outcome of an event that's a bit harder in an RP setting... but I can for sure drop some hints about plot beats that will happen. This is a relatively well planned RP by my standards.

I might advise keeping telekinesis out. I'm not 100% against it, but it feels it would be hard to implement when everyone else is normal. With stuff like this, where its outside of the box, I will get a consensus from all the Co-OPs before making a call so it can take a bit longer (which also applies to your app @Lugubrious - I want to get everyone's opinion before saying yes/offering feedback).

Graveyard Orbit

Personally I don't mind psionics in the setting but I've seen it done badly. I'd rather keep the nanobots out, mostly because you're a prisoner and fancy gadgets will have been taken off you... but again it depends a bit on what you want to do with them, which I appreciate is a super-vague answer!

What exactly are you thinking of? I'm keen to keep things reasonably grounded and to avoid anything that will cause 'power creep' in the cast.

Neri Venetesh

Character Description

Species: Dhasath
Sex: Female
Age: 27
Reason for being on the ship: Believed to be with the ‘Arisatian Legion'. Is in fact a Sewer Maintenance Supervisor.
Appearance: A 5'6'' tall dhasath with dark brown hair which she usually wears in a messy ponytail and large, brown eyes. She is relatively slim and physically fit, weighing in at about 125lb.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Skills: Reasonably good plumber. Is a scrappy fighter and (for her size) has a surprisingly nasty left hook.
Weaknesses: Has no particular skill with weapons (beyond improvised melee weapons).

Background:

Backstory: Nerinai Venetesh, or 'Neri' to her friends, is too young to remember when Kiellar Command still ruled their part of the galaxy. Born on the world of Arisatia, she has only known the Mazdhul Republic. She does, however, remember a time, when dhasath weren't the majority on the planet. With many of the kiellar leaving and the dhasath population booming, by the time she was an adult going out into the workforce (14 years old), they were.

Neri was the fifth of eight children, with four older brothers, one twin sister and two younger brothers. With mostly brothers, Neri learned how to throw a punch and kick (preferably aiming for a tender place that made sure her opponent stayed down after the first blow) and, as someone on the smaller side, learned to fight dirty.

Neri's father was an electrician, her mother a baker and none of their eight children pursued tertiary education, rather, each took on an apprenticeship to learn a trade. This was not to say that Neri, or her siblings were incapable of higher education, more that it never occured to any of them that this was a real option. Neri went into plumbing - something she turned out to be reasonably adept at.

On the eve of the Civil War, Neri had just taken up a position as a Supervisor with 'Felsinae Watercare' (the sanitation department for her local town) as a supervisor. When war came to the planet, Felsinae was one of the areas that rose up against the Mazdhul Republic, though Neri didn't involve herself in it, having little interest in who ruled the planet ("who cares if I pay tax to another dhasath or some kiellar overlord? It's still the same tax.")

Unfortunately, due to its proximity to Republican Garrisons, Felsinae was rapidly cut off from Legion controlled cities and the Legion Generals did not see the city as strategically important enough to prioritise its relief. The siege dragged on for months. Food and water became increasingly scarce. Neri, unexpectedly, found that her job had become quite important in ensuring disease didn't spread through the population. The sewers also became a place where Legion fighters could move about undetected, safe from air raids and shelling.

While Neri didn't really register that this might be a problem for her, it turned out to be a very big problem when Republican troops entered the sewer system to try to flush the Legion out. Neri was promptly arrested on suspicion of being a Legion trooper who had discarded her uniform ("You don't look like a Sanitation Worker to me") and without anything resembling a trial (in true Kiellar fashion), she was loaded onto a prison transport, destined for hard labour.
