Backdrifts (Space Survival RP)

Nice- it just brought it up to standard in general, it's well refined now. Will launch this RP later on- I am hoping everyone is still in, this should be epic.

Backdrifts (Space Survival RP)

Nationality, plus maybe a little more character detail; though not much, its good. Will set up iC tommorow.

Backdrifts (Space Survival RP)

Neato mate- I'll have a look when it's good.

Backdrifts (Space Survival RP)

Ah sorry, just saw. I like. Go right ahead. I would think that the major companies, such as SpaceX or other private firms would be involved, rather than Virgin Galactic- though I know that Virgin is growing somewhat. Your character would be scattered from the main group, and that I like too- the Mars ship wouldn't be a colossus, but it would be significant, being something that is under construction.

Backdrifts (Space Survival RP)

Quick my friend- this RP will launch (unintended pun lol ) quite soon, I hope maybe even by tomorrow night or so (GMT wise). If you have something there, and it looks good, go ahead. So current character sitrep, a TLDR of characters if you will: A British EVA Specialist A Russian Engineer An Austrlian Physicist A Canadian Safety Tech The RP won't be long, but I will say it will be very concentrated. It all takes place in the span of four hours- so any of the action that occurs likely will be flowing and continuous, before the end. Character death is a strong possibility for some- and after this last character, I'll probably shut off any more, since we've got enough people. I should make a reminder- I don't care for post orders in this, so long as it's vaguely everyone getting in a post. I want to see how it works- post orders can be useful, but sometimes hold up the RP. We'll see how it rolls. Oh, and if you quit the RP, either because of lack of interest or whatnot, I'll give your character a fitting death- just a heads up :D

Backdrifts (Space Survival RP)

To those characters applied: Good good, all accepted. I would say that they'll all likely have more generic toolkits, such as for the mounting and demounting of screws, though cutters, thruster packs and the like are likely to be restricted to my character and one other. BTW, I should have mentioned this a little earlier- the suits do have in-built flashlights on the shoulder (though they're more engineering specification, for shining into dark corners, rather than for illuminating greater areas), a quite touch-screen friendly pair of gloves (they're bulky, but you could use a tablet with them, just about), as well as probably a quite vaguely general engineering kit- though more specialized tools such as cutters, wire splicers, and complicated multi-purpose drills are likely to be something on an Engineer's toolkit.

Running with the Wolves (kingkonrad and Enalais)

(A post is very, very overdue from me on this one- I did start one, then kinda stop. I owe you this in full- I hope you're still on board.) Scott followed close behind at first, before he headed into men's clothing. He kept a low profile, and quickly picked out some clothes. Something cheap, but it would do. He saw Alexis, and headed over to her, holding the clothes he wanted to buy in his hands. "There's got to be a bank account with my name on it. Fuck, I can repay you later on, I promise." Scott said, looking to her as he nodded, looking to the clothes. He had a pair of dark blue jeans, and a black t-shirt, with a navy blue hoodie in his hands- nothing too expensive, and he felt it was vaguely his size. It would do. This place felt blurry, strange. "I'll do anything I can, I promise...there's got to be an existence of me somewhere." He said, as they headed to the tills, looking to Alexis with a certain look of debt, as if he really did owe her his life right now. After paying, they headed out, and Scott looked to her, Scott wearing his new clothes after getting changed quickly in the dressing rooms. "You stopped me from dying, and got me this far. I owe you." He said, simply to her, looking out at the parking lot. He knew that maybe he had saved her from death, from being shot by some terrorist in the hospital, but at the end of the day, she had saved his life by choosing to look after him. "You really are a hero. I don't know what I am, but all I know is, whatever I got injured for, it was good. I'm not delusional when I say this, I just know...they're coming. I never hurt someone who didn't deserve it." Scott said, smiling, looking out at the bleary November day that sat outside the store, as something hit him. It was a strong memory. He almost blacked out, for a moment, as it rushed through him, it was like a blur. He could remember it later, that he felt, but right now, he had better things to do than flashback. "Shit. Alexis....we need to go. I think I've just realized something. There's a guy called McKinley, and I think he might be able to solve my problems....I know where he is, or at least, last was. Just get me somewhere safe, I think I know what to do." He said to her while nobody was around, aware that he could be watched at any time. He knew what to do now. Scott just knew, he had to get a hotel room, camp it out for a while, then get to work. And boy, did he have work to do.

Backdrifts (Space Survival RP)

Name: (Flight Lieutenant) Ellie Fletcher Tavistock Gender: Female Age: 29 Nationality: British Appearance: Ellie has a distinct red hair, being a bright red- this being her natural shade, rather than an artificial one. She stands at about 5"7, with a fairly feminine build, though her features are fairly on the small side. She keeps her hair fairly short, to the top of her neck, and has a pair of blue eyes, being quite distinctly sharp for a woman of her type. Her EVA suit has a distinct British flag, on the left shoulder where many of the other operators would also have their distinct patch, with a small marking of her mission on Prospect Horizon. Job: Astronaut (Head of EVA) Brief Background: Ellie was born in Dover, England, to a fairly middle class family- being brought up in a stable household, and doing very well in school. Her passion was engineering- she was one of the few girls who genuinely adored studying the subject, and she did exceptionally well at it. But there was one thing she did even better- and that was her dedication to the. She attended the University of British Columbia, in Canada, taking an Aeronautical Engineering degree before returning to the UK to join the Fleet Air Arm as a helicopter pilot. She found herself very capable flying Merlin helicopters off the aircraft carrier deck of the HMS Queen Elizabeth, and whilst she didn't do any combat sorties, she was asked if she wanted to become an Astronaut, as a part of the UK's dedication to the European Space Agency's mission in collaboration with various other countries. This was two years before the launch of the Prospect Horizon- and she took the offer gladly, taking this route into becoming an astronaut, obtaining a Masters degree part-time whilst studying towards this. It was during this period she got married to her boyfriend, Ben- though this was a romance that was short lived, because she was a part of the second deployment to the Prospect Horizon. Adjusting to Extra Vehicular Activity, and helping set up the Prospect Horizon's initial habitation modules was tricky, but something she did exceptionally well. Private companies were mainly responsible for the materials sent up- with the co-ordination of international space programs bringing it together as a symbol of unity, under a scientific banner. Ellie remembered the ISS of days past, and this was something new- a far bigger chance to launch humanity forwards. She proved her worth well enough to be deployed again on the sixth deployment of people to the station, back when it was only at 100 people- and again on the 16th Deployment, about four months ago. She's at home aboard the station, and feels comfortable- while it's still in Zero-G, it's something she acclimatizes to well, and she's a career Astronaut now. One day, she hopes to become the station commander, instead of her current role as an Acting Head of EVA- an important, but role that she feels she wants to go beyond. She is very skilled outside the the station in dealing with matters that would otherwise require an expert's hand, and while knowing that there are others that are older and perhaps wiser, she's still got a lot of potential, and has been frequently enough in the last few years to have a very concentrated experience. Ellie is seen as a petite woman compared to her peers, and often is questioned for her role as the Head of a department, running such a critical role outside the station, at her age and size, being perhaps a little smaller than most men and even women. Going out on a spacewalk with her, however, and you understand why. She's learned rapidly, and is very well experienced, though of course, the events of the 5th of September will prove still far more than she can handle. Ellie is more than technical enough, and treats any walk out into the abyss like it was a walk in the park, even if her fellow Astronauts are panicking. This is something a little different. Special Equipment: -Suit-Mounted Thruster Pack (Enhances movement) -Oxy-Acetone Cutter Torch (Can be useful for cutting apart entrapments, or faulty locks. Will only be useful on thinner metals, not seals or thick bulkheads.) -Interactive Tablet (A electronic interfacing kit, can be used in conjunction with a voltmeter and various other pieces of kit to perform system and component diagnostics- with many components of the Prospect Horizon, even it's metals, having a digital footprint.)
