@Verdaux great, itll be cool to see two in a plane, be sure to focus on finishing the CS, while Stern makes a start. But dont wait for each other just get the CS done as quick as possible so you can join the IC, and you can post without the other so we arent held up waiting on collab posts, we can always work it in that one is with the plane while the other is at the meeting or whatever.

And just for everyone else, we are still the NY5, Eldon is the Bronx pilot and stern is his crew member.

Also @Stern Algorithm are you enjoying the Story so far?

The coffee was hot and delicious, Ovince Rhodes didnt wait to pour himself a fresh cup while Larcen and Hannah entered the briefing office. He was hoping that all the young pilots could get to know each other organically, but he was wary there could be a clash of personalities, even though all 5 hadn't arrived yet.

The Manhattan Meeting

Larcen immediately ran up to his old friend Ken and gave him a hug, they had definitely been rivals in the past but it was mostly friendly even at a young competitive age, and there was always immense respect for each other. Rhodes looked on and smiled.

I take it you two have crossed paths before then?

Larcen grabbed his old pal by the shoulders with a smile but still in mild shock. In a dangerous future where you have lost everything, a familiar living face can mean so much.

Damnit Ken, America is a big place, I had no bloody idea you were on the East Coast! and flying for hire nonetheless, I do need to see your plane, but I want to see it shoot down some junker trash, just like target practice back at the training fields right?

Larcen looked around them room and noticed two female pilots along with the Governor's puzzled face.

Ahem, sorry everyone, my name is Larcen Fields, I'm a.....freelancer, I've flown in from Philly, but I'm originally from England, pleasure to meet you all. Ken and I went to flight school when we were teenagers, he's a killer pilot for sure, but I'm guessing you all know that.

Ovince Rhodes decided to speak up for the girls, as he knew they weren't always the friendliest especially when it came to new people, Alex referred to Larcen as 'meat' when he came through the door, and Hannah was well known as being just a few shades away from a total sadist.

Ahem Larcen, Alexandria Robins is an Ace pilot from Canada, she's been assigned to Staten Island and has flow with ken a couple times before. Hannah von Falkenheim works independently from queens, she is one of the most qualified merc....uh freelancers from Europe. She has flown once or twice with Elron Newmon from the Bronx, but he's currently still on patrol. He should be joining us soon.

Larcen shook Alex's hand with a respectful nod, but his eyes narrowed slightly when he looked at Hannah.

.....Von Falkenheim was it? That sounds kind of German, you wouldn't happen to be part of the WEC would you...?

Larcen was now anxious and stand-offish, his hand swayed slightly closer to where he kept his pistol near his side holster, she could have been waiting for him for all he knew.

@Verdaux no problem! whenever you are ready, we will just mention you by name before you join.

@Dynamo Frokane

Since it seems @Verdaux is gunning for the hunter position, and I know zilch about planes, I'm thinking of just dropping out of the running for the position. BUT if Verdaux is willing, maybe I could have a co-pilot role on his bomber? Those turrets ain't gonna fire themselves.

@Stern Algorithm

well its very possible, I know the bomber planes could use an actualy bomber assistant on hand, if Verdaux is cool with it then I am too. But even if he would prefer to handle his craft alone, I'd be happy to offer you some sort of supporting role in the RP.

If you did a complete 360 you'd be facing the same direction.

@bluetommy2

@Dynamo Frokane

Alright, CS is pretty much done. Tweaking things here and there with the bio, but other than that, its good. You might want to check it out as I decided to do a complete 180 and change everything except the plane. I just wasn't feeling it with Katherine.

@Skepic

okay let me make a minor edit to my IC post as I already called her catherine, you may post whenever you wish!

@bluetommy2@ChaoticFox

Times Square, Manhattan

The sound of warplanes buzzing above was hair raising. They didn't quite sound like planes, advanced technology and ancient models combined with poor maintenance made the engines sound like gargling monsters, a low growl with a disturbing buzz, the metal hornets of the sky. They were almost all flown by bandits, low level gang members or drifters, every hour or so the sputter of gunfire and a crashing explosion would signal the end of a dispute or the start of a turf war. This was a normal day in New York City, and Governor Ovince Rhodes watched it all from his fortified office window. Ken Yi and Alex Robins sat in the lounge area, luckily for them, there was no short supply of coffee in New York.

Ovince Rhodes sipped his own coffee, still looking out of the window as a pack of bandits raced by his building.

You know, I used to be a bit of soldier, drove a tank as a teenager for the ground division back in Buffalo, NY. I remember how helpless I felt when those hunter class Biplanes pounded us in to nothing, I only survived because my tank malfunctioned that day and I had to hold back to repair.......anyway. Doesn't matter now, the real conflict takes place in the sky, and you two have been really kicking ass in Stanten and Brooklyn, they say the bandit plane sightings have decreased by 27% in those districts since you two started. I can show those stats to the rest of the council when they next try to complain about your funding.

Ovince took another sip of his coffee and strolled over to the city map next to his desk.

As you guys know, weve been aiming to put an expert pilot in every borough to individualy keep the enemy number down, but we also were thinking of having all of you fly as a team for a mission we had in mind. We are looking to put an end to the tyranny in NYC permanently, and give the citizens here another chance at a somewhat normal life. A week ago we hired Hannah to patrol Queens, shes also been doing a stellar job and before we hired you Ken we had pilot from the west coast call Eldon Newman take up work in the Bronx. 4 very skilled pilots spead across the boroughs, we orginially though Manhattan was safe enough, but the threat level has been steadily increasing, so we hired someone today, and we want all 5 of you working together from now......Send him up.

Rhodes pressed a button on his intercom and suddenly the office elevator switched on and after a few seconds of engine whirring, the doors opened, and out stepped a British Expat pilot named Larcen Fields.

Walking into the office he seem to freeze mid-step and turned to the Brooklyn pilot in disbelief.

Ken.....my god is that you?

@Verdaux The class is call 'hunter' but otherwise its looking good, @Skepic we are going to start the IC today, feel free to post once you have your CS's complete dont nessecarily wait for me to approve if you feel confident its done, you already know what I look for.

Also you are the Bronx Bomber, not Brooklyn.

Sky Warrior Stories: The New York 5 (closed)

@Skepic I know its a WIP but is her name Katherine or Ava? I will mention that your other two characters who were both named Ava still exist in this universe, so it might be preferable to have a new first name :D

B!tchfest: a healthy release for our non-roleplay annoyances.

@ChaoticFox@bluetommy2 just to keep the momentum going, I might make an opening post today, lets say that Larcen is newest to New York, while Ken has been working in Brooklyn for a couple weeks and Alex has been in Staten Island just over a month, the know each other but only in passing and one or two survey flights. The RP will pick up with Larcen just arriving into Manhattan, and we will bring Skepic and whoever our 'Bronx Bomber'(I'm sticking with that name) will be when they are ready.
