Bio
So, a bit about me then:
First and foremost, I love to try and create imaginative and creative scenarios, that (I hope) push the very limits of reason and conventional thought. When I RP (mostly in NRPs) I aim to play powerful and big, things that are on the very edge of OP (I usually give my faction a ridiculous disadvantage though, to keep it fair). In other RPs, I tend towards Science Fiction and Modern Fantasy, playing side characters with some interesting quirks to them. I am also keen on trying some Arena RPing, when I get better at writing.
Other things about me are that I work as a Mental Health Nurse (who would've guessed), and enjoy gaming and drawing as well. I also play trumpet on the side. I have a rough schedule, so I disappear for a couple of days sometimes. But never assume I am dropping out, I will tell you if I am thinking of it (unless it's really serious).

That was my bad. I thought the scrap yards and the shop Kala runs were the one and the same thing. So my message was probably a bit useless :S
A modified wireless transmission that bypasses all installation approvals and safety checks of the receiving ship, as best as it can, ignoring firewalls and security measures. This means that only especially hardened ships (such as capitals or other ECM/EW suite ships) can 100 percent effectively nullify the transmission. Other ships... I guess it would be dependent on how quickly someone picks up on what is going on, and their ability to lock it down before the virus can get to any of it's target systems. Of course, if the full electronic firepower of the Ljus was unleashed at a single ship, something would go down at least temporarily.
Here is my CS for approval. Btw, Opus is meant to be a Black Ops kinda mysterious character, hope that is ok :L
Name: [REDACTED], Call Sign “Opus”
Species: Dirophyd
Height: 5’6”
Age: [REDACTED]
Gender: Male
Appearance:
Opus’ face is completely concealed by his breathing apparatus, which is a full face mask with a single round porthole, capable of cycling various visual modes indicated by a change of color (colour changes can also reflect a change of emotion, or several other actions). He is typically only seen in his armor, as it houses most of his life support systems that stop him from collapsing. His horns are quite small and rounded, filed down to allow him to move around easier and fit his helmet securely and air tight.
Equipment:
Cykiss Industries “Mystic” Recon Armor:
Developed in secret for the most part, for counter-operations and deep strike infiltrations, the Mystic series is used by Special Operations members and various high profile assassins, who primarily work solo on extended critical missions. It’s most obvious feature is the Mystic’s Reaction Control System (RCS), that allows for incredibly fast dodges and movement for short bursts, to close distances or avoid life threatening attacks.
Zamatti Corp. “Precision” Vibro-blade: Using tiny microscopic oscillations along the blade’s edge, the Precision has unprecedented piercing and cutting power against flesh and armor alike, considering it is not an energy based melee weapon.
Cykiss Industries “Poolta” Pinch Pistol: The Poolta is a specialized plasma pistol that uses hyper magnetic fields to ‘pinch’ the plasma projectile into a thin pellet as it leaves the weapon. This makes the shot much quieter and less visible while maintaining the lethality and effectiveness of standard plasma weaponry, though causing the weapon to deplete charge and overheat quicker.
[REDACTED] “Mirage” Thermal and Optical Dampener Gauntlet: The Mirage is another specialized Special Operations prototype that has been likened to a ‘rumor’ by the current Dirophyd administration. In reality, it bends light and other multi-spectrum rays to project a barrier that obscures whatever is behind it and mimic the background. However, the operator must remain still when using it or the barrier is overloaded and shuts off automatically. It is also vulnerable to electromagnetic radiation, and can be rendered useless by an observer moving to the flanks of the operator.
Skills/Abilities:
Opus’ Special Operations training makes him almost unprecedented in both hand to hand combat, as well as stealth and evasion operations learnt during his Advanced Tactics training. Combined with a visual sensor that can cycle between infra-red and normal visual modes and his modified Mystic armor, Opus is nearly unmatched in infiltration and assassination. To top it all off, Opus possesses some knowledge of bypassing security systems to mess with things such as doors, alarms and other minor electronic devices.
Background:
Most of Opus' file on his early life and early career has been deleted and changed numerous times, but most sources seem to point that at an early age, he had joined the Peacekeepers on the Dirophyd colonized world of Uptaiis III. Apparently, he excelled in most fields of his basic training, and was quickly transferred to Advanced Tactics training with SpecOps, after a short career in Colonial Security. Once training was complete, Opus was made a member of a Special Operations team, who went on to have several successful missions, sabotaging and assisting various parties in tasks from demolition and assassination to total government dissension for various clients, Dirophyd and otherwise.
At some point, however, the team undertook an assignment that, to this day, is still classified, more so than the others. Conspiracy theorists all agree it was called “Operation Veil”, but other than this single piece of information, the details are open to speculation. All that is known is that it involved Opus being critically injured and losing his ability to breathe independently, the death of his comrades and several SpecOps teams, not to mention an entire colony blasted into oblivion.
Records show that after this event is when Opus is referred to by this name, and little else is known or indicated. Currently, this enigmatic individual has been augmented with life saving cybernetics and prosthetic organs, and re assigned to an undisclosed Assembly unit, for what was termed “Rehabilitation” by higher ups. Due to his numerous secret assignments and strict training, Opus is calculating and efficient, and is very unapproachable at the best of times, coming off as aloof to most individuals. When in a good mood, Opus will act sarcastic but entertain some conversation.

Thank you very much ^^
Just a quick question: Are their artificial intelligences in this universe? I have several CS ideas revolving around the concept, which I am happy to discuss with you via PM.

I am down for this, if there is room.

Remember, in this RP, people are getting information that no one else is getting. So, there is going to be disparate time skips, to simulate the other players not being in on a situation and missing the context of these situations.

@Embluss:
Okies, fair enough on the FTL, I'll remove that. And weapon jamming would be a transmitted electronic viral attack that would effect the main weapon cooling systems and loading algorithms of the automated run time processes. Basically, if the weapon had a safety mechanism to prevent accidental damage due to the failures of these components, they would be automatically shut off. Of course, if the software OS had automated code repair (which feasibly, any ship with sufficient reliance on sustained and reliable weapons fire would need in this sci fi RP), or technicians on the target ship who could load and install hardened back up copies of the original algorithms, the weapon jam damage could be repaired in, perhaps, a short amount of time.
It's all reliant on how quickly they can detect the problem and neutralize the threat, it's not a fool proof "Guaranteed broken guns" kind of EW suite (more balanced). That's basically how the entirety of the Ljus' Electronic Warfare suites work: Transmitted software viruses that cause errors in the ships automated systems. These viruses could, in theory, also cause ship reacotr shut offs, or even meltdowns, but I excluded those abilities purely because it's not fair to have a ship that could blow up another easily.

I've modified my CS, I hope it's to more of a standard now.
EDIT: I know I was accepted already, but could you look over it one more time? I've just outlined some of the Ljus' sub systems present that I think would be kept in such a vessel. It is designed to theoritically try to cripple an advanced alien warship, after all. And I have tried to make it as balanced as possible, what with timers on all it's systems and having absolutely no firepower at all.

Ship Name: Ljus of the Fleet
Description: Being a vessel focused on scientific pursuits and engineering facilities, the ship has little to no defensive weapons or armor plating. However, it has a disproportionate number of scientists and engineers of various fields, and has specialized electronic warfare suites to aid it's high maneuverability in escapes and espionage.
Population: 7 000 personnel on board
Description: The Ljus is a small but high tech vessel, housing some of the most advanced laboratories and engineering facilities ever sent into space. The Ljus had two functions, the first being to compile a complete database of their destination planetary system, from astronomical mechanics to potential lifeforms and how they function in an alien ecosystem. It's second objective was somewhat more a precautionary measure: The Ljus was designed so that, if the fleet encountered a hostile alien vessel on their journey, it's high tech electronic countermeasures suite could buy the fleet enough time to escape or destroy the vessel. While this contingency never occurred, the systems are still maintained and are ready to be used in a moment's notice.
Some of the more advanced sub systems of the Ljus include:
-A shackled 'dumb' AI in charge of predictive software analysis, xenolinguistical interfacing and remote systems overload and hacking.
-Complex scout probes designed for operation in almost any environment, and capable of running on site field tests and operating autonomously for extended periods
-Thermal cloaking mechanism. that hides the Ljus' electromagnetic signature and confuses enemy targeting for short durations.
-A 'Last Resort' Thermonuclear warhead, designed to destroy all trace of the Ljus and prevent vital information falling into the wrong hands (Human or otherwise).
Captain Name: VIlda S. Aalberg
Description: Vilda is a calm and collected individual, focused on the task of directing the main research effort of the Fleet, once they arrived on the new world. Xenobiology, planetary system activity, astrogeology... All of it will be crucial data in setting up the first human colony in the cosmos, and Vilda is driven to make this colonization effort work.
Unlike most of the other ships, she took over for the previous Captain, who had died due to medical complications regarding a reactor exposure. Because of the mysterious nature of this accident, and combined with the secretive nature of the Ljus' operations, Vilda is somewhat untrusted by most of the other ships in the Fleet.
Other Notable Individuals:
-Professor Adam J. Jakobsen, Head of the Scientific Affairs Board
-Doctor Troed Eriiks, Head of the Xenobiology Research Division
-Professor Emma Jonsson, Xenoarcheologist and assistant to Troed
-Vice Captain Gunnar Winblad, maintains and directs the Engineering Division, as well as other critical systems.
