I apologize for inactivity - muse has been elsewhere lately. I will reply to RPs here asap
Oh hey, now that I think about it, what would we all like to RP first? We can get straight to the action, which I usually prefer, or we can do a quick prologue where all the PC's are being tested for NC compatibility and can properly meet before the 'main course'. I'm fine either way, I just wish to know what everyone else would prefer. @LHG100
@Voltus_Ventus I'd imagine. GM originally planned for 5, and there's still that empty space missing.. Hell, he might go for more than 5 people even if it keeps getting more popular. :P
it's sort of a copy/paste cause honestly it still fits the bill fine, I think. I just added to it. and changed the NC.. I hope the Fairbanks thing is still ok. :s
Name: Percy Moore
Nicknames: Pierce (for no real reason other than calling him 'Purse' would sound weird)
Background: He was born into a very average family in Smith's Rest, but his parents died soon after he moved out because of disease and the lack of medicine for the disease. He then met a rather nice woman who worked as a sort of 'mechanic', settled down and married, then had his daughter, Ana. Again, tragedy struck when his wife died in an accident when his daughter was maybe a few months old. He's a single father that would willingly walk through Hell and back if it meant his daughter would be safe.
Age: 29, but he looks more like he's in his mid-30s.
Personality: He's painfully shy to strangers, but once you get to know him and become friends, he's very laid back and calm... Most of the time, at least. He tends to exhibit mild paranoia, constantly looking out of the window to make sure nobody's peeking in, locking and relocking doors, etc. When he's stressed, he tends to overestimate the issue, panic, and even cry, sometimes. Eventually the stress gets to a point he's angry-crying, and that is not a pretty sight in the slightest... So he tries to avoid getting to that point. As a pilot, he would eventually turn into very much a team player, after meeting his crew. He might take to the younger recruits more so than those his age, however.
Appearance: With a mildly-above average physique and muscle toning, you could say he's somewhat attractive. He's also a redhead and has freckles all over his body. His hair is usually cut fairly short and he doesn't really care enough to style it, so it looks a little bit messy and shaggy. His eyes are gray-blue-ish and dark. He's usually wearing something simple and comfortable, like a t-shirt and jeans, but he has a light tan colored button up for more formal situations, and a tacky bright green jacket for the cold of Ahlazkai. He also wears two plain silver rings- the ring on his left was his wife's, the ring on his right is his own. As a pilot, he would wear the uniform given - if there was a given uniform, that is. If there's not a given uniform, he would wear something that fit tightly but not uncomfortably, so then nothing gets caught on any electronics or switches.
Tactical Preferences: He's flexible as long as it's discussed before going out into the mission.. as long as he's not too too close. He's more of a support than a front-liner. Sniping or just sticking close to the team using firearms is more his style.
Skills: Out of the bot, he has a decent aim with his pistol. He's also very observant - his paranoia problem isn't all bad.
Other Things of Note: He has a very strange skill - juggling objects. The most he can juggle is maybe 4 or 5. He drinks, but he almost always regrets it afterwards - hangovers suck He's actually embarrassed of his hair being red, and would probably blush if you mentioned it.
Text Color: LightGray
Codename: Papa Mike (NATO alphabet for his initials.. Might change it) Appearance: Fairbanks standard model. Clunky and blocky. Metallic blank paint with white accents. Might be a little dinged up, but he doesn't mind too much as long as it's functional. Body-Plan: Bipedal Type/Quality: It's designed to be semi-proficient at most tasks, but it's not perfect. The thrusters are a little bit messed up and are prone to frizzing out. Again, Percy doesn't mind it - he's not going to be doing a lot of hovering around. He'd only use the thrusters to dash away from enemy fire. Equipment: Stock neural computer, slightly damaged but still functional thrusters, and slightly above average generator. Armaments: Standard Fairbanks-Model rifle, a standard laser blade (like in the game Armored Core), and small missile launcher on the back. General Description/Notes: It's a very plain NC, not really meant for one specific job. Even if it's dinged up, it's still functional.. might be prone to a lock up mid-mission though. MIGHT be.
Name: Ana Moore
Nicknames: n/a
Background: Being only seven, she hasn't exactly accomplished much. She knows that her mother is dead, but it doesn't exactly affect her much.. A mother figure would be nice to have, though, she wouldn't deny that. She does well in school, getting mostly As and Bs.
Age: 7
Personality: More outgoing than her father is, but she has her bouts of shyness, much like everyone else. She's picking up some paranoid behaviors from her father like checking her bedroom door lock, for example. She also has a tendency to daydream and wonder what life might have been like before Burrows.. She imagines it was pretty nice.
Appearance: She's also freckled and has red hair which is cut short and with bangs so her hair isn't completely in the way. She took after her mother, having green eyes that are full of life and wonder. She's a little bit underweight, but not concerningly so. She has a very tiny, almost unnoticeable scar on her nose from hitting her face into a door-frame when she was little. She wears her father's old clothes from when he was her age and some worn-looking sneakers, but, again, she has a little purple dress and some simple black dress shoes she could wear for more formal situations.
Other Things of Note: She's a bit clumsy and tends to trip over herself. When she was five, she stole a box of crayons from school.. She said they were given to her. She was never found out and still has them.
I don't really see anything wrong with what was going on aside from a severe lack of NC information and the 'Codex' not being.. super useful. I'd start trying to think of what would actually be useful for pilots to know. "what's the cockpit like?" or "are there manual controls for testing purposes?" or "so how far is customization?" or things like that. More about the world in general would be nice as well. And I'm willing to help with it cause like for one, I'm technically sort of a co-GM (and as I understand GMing it's just like coming up with scenarios and actually making the world that goes with it) and two, I fucking love worldbuilding.
Starting too quickly is something I'm paranoid about with RPing, too. Cause your enthusiasm might muddle it up and end up making the rp worse in the end cause you didn't give it the structure and love it needed to not crumble as soon as it got started. Enthusiasm is good, just don't let it cloud your judgement.
edit: so I looked at your fucking tagline (under your username) and started laughing cause it kind of related to your post a little I just. omg
I might not actually participate. I've been having a block and just haven't felt inspired enough to really work on creative things.. I'm definitely gonna keep up with this though!
