Well, I think we could maybe try something with the three of us? Not sure. But the idea was great and the story was about to get really interesting.

I just noticed that we have twelve players. How many aircrafts are typically in a squadron? (16 is the number I generally take, but that's not the only answer, is it?)

The original plan in the interest check was 4-10 players, but it looks like we've surpassed that point. The only experience I have with fighting in squads was Planetside 2, where the squad size was 12.

How about "We have no enemies in the skies"? (through peace or through shooting them down. Well, somehow I just like sentences with multiple meanings)

Should be something like "We have no match in the skies" in my opinion, as there are plenty of enemies considering that the UNWO has an advantage in numbers compared to the UN.

All in all, I support the idea of having a motto for the team.

A few questions:

I assume that the PCs will stay/go on missions together from the start, right?

Will the pilots be assigned a number in the squadron or will they just be referred to by their nicknames/callsigns?

The GM posts first and everyone posts once until the GM posts again, thus starting a new "round". This is the system the RP will use, right?

I managed to write mine in 2 hours or so, the wiki helped me out tremendously with weapon systems and Silver's posts with the mods.

I've had a good general idea of the bio and the others, but I'm still kinda impressed how it turned out. ^^

Just noticed that the listing of Matthew on the main page in "Active Characters" is slighty borked. A [/*] should be enough to solve it. :)

OT: My character is not reluctant at all to fly a Jaguar, I don't really know how the MiG-29 can be that much better than all the other aircraft listed in the OP. But again, that could just be my lack of knowledge on the field.

Mateotis, your sheet is fine too, though the Jaguar can carry a lot more ordnance than what you've described there!

Writing the aircraft details/armanents was probably the hardest part in the whole CS, haha. I've done a fair bit of research, but more weapons are always welcomed! I'll edit it tomorrow. :D

Oh my god, I've written more bio for this character than I've did for any other in my life, phew. Hope you like it!

Character Sheet

Name: Matthew Tailor (anglicized name, the Hungarian naming system is different, they put the family name before the first name)

Nickname/Callsign: Swift

Age: 29

Nationality: Hungarian

Appearance:

Bio: Matthew always liked to live for the thrill and the excitement. When he was younger, he liked to engage in
extreme sports. Eventually, he became old enough to choose a job. His parents had a company dealing with logistics and
they wanted him to work alongside them and one day become the successor. However, he couldn't imagine himself sitting
next to papers and doing administrative work all day long and such, he turned to his grandfather. He was a fighter pilot
at WWII. Unfortunately, he fought for the losing side and as such he was imprisoned for several years after the war. The
old man told Matt all about his experiences at the airforce and the cousin felt that this is what he wants to do.

After a great amount of training, Matt was finally enlisted at the Hungarian Air Force. Starting out as a rookie pilot
only sent to simple missions, he quickly rose through the ranks thanks to his great reflexes and being able to stay
sharp at the most dangerous situations, earning him the nickname "Swift". However, little did he know that his rise to
prominence will be stopped abruptly.

One day, he and two from his squadron was sent out to Poland to help the local air force deal with a small amount of
unidentified fighters in Polish airspace, heading towards Warsaw. The planes did not comply to the orders to reveal
themselves after multiple warnings, so they had to shoot down one, which made the rest turn around and leave towards
Germany. However, on the way home, he received a distress call from Debrecen, a city in Eastern Hungary, next to
Romania, stating that numerous unmarked bombers and fighters coming seemingly out of nowhere attacked it.

Even though he pressed his aircraft as hard as he could, he couldn't arrive to the city in time. Most of it was engulfed
in flames, its once beautiful monuments destroyed. Matthew himself could barely turn around and get out of the
destruction as well, but his two companions were not that lucky, as they were both shot down on the retreat. He felt the
soul crushing pain of a tragedy for the first time there and swore to avenge the deaths of the thousands of innocent
people.

Finally arriving at the headquarters in Budapest, the capital of Hungary, he went to the General, asking for more
information about the incident. To his biggest shock, he accused him as the traitor. Trying to defend himself
saying that he was in Poland at the time of the incident, the man said that he has trusted sources stating that
there was only one fighter there with the HAF's insignia and it was his. This incident singlehandedly put a stop to his
career as a pilot, he was excommunicated from the airforce

Not willing to give up and determined to find the real traitor, Matt travelled to the UK and was soon employed by the
Royal Air Force, who were willing to overlook his apparent treason. He spent one year there mostly doing routine
missions and this is where he developed love for the SEPECAT Jaguars as well. However, one day something happened that
changed the course of everything...Heavenfall.

Quickly called back to Hungary in order to help defend the country from incoming attacks from the neighbouring
countries. His country was surrounded by mountains and as such the catastrophes did not do as much damage to it. This
however attracted the attention of other countries and they soon launched numerous attacks on it, attempting to take
food, goods or technology with them by force. These matters were only partially solved by the rise of a new, common
enemy, the UNWO. Matthew, as a talented and experienced pilot, was called in to take part in the newly started ace team
of the UN, the alliance Hungary was part of, called Excalibur Squadron.

Service Record: One year of service at the HAF (Hungarian Air Force), thrown out for treachery. After that,
another one year at the British Royal Air Force. Finally, he was called back to his homeland to help fight off the
subsequent offensives from the neighbouring countries.

Really eyeing with the SEPECAT Jaguar right now, I'd love if my char could pilot that beast. :D

I'll most probably post a CS tomorrow. =)

Also, a question, Silverwind. Your character will function as the captain of the group (Excalibur One or so), right?
