Hello! I was wondering if their is still room for this. If so, is it possible to make a character that "Has no connection" to the Naval Intelligence Department, but is secretly working for them? He just happened to be on the Moon base when this all goes down doing "work".


Can you explain a bit more what you mean by 'has no connection', etc.? People in the intelligence services already essentially don't exist, you can't be much more rogue. Incidentally you're welcome to make an intelligence character

Hi, I'm interested in joining this RP and really am digging the lore you've created. This would be my second RP, the other being a short lived stormtrooper campaign in Star Wars.

Would the best way to join be to create a character for you to look at and give the okay?


Yeah, make a character and most it here in the OOC or PM it to one of us (myself or Catharyn) and we'll take a look :)

Ok, sorry there. I thought that the ranks and roles are two different things. He attains the rank of lieutenant, but plays the role of the ship's vice-captain(Since the captain and vice-captain of a ship can be appointed to several different ranks, that's what I heard.) Well, then I would just cross it out. And basically, the Intelligence and the UWSC is two different organizations. Got mixed up with that because of the term Navy. Ok, I'll reconsider my NPC's role. Should not take long. Thanks for notifing me.


I see what you're saying, yeah he's 2IC of the ship.

They are indeed separate, which is why we don't have military personnel in the intelligence services. 'Naval' basically just means they operate by means of the navy, and are extra-terrestrial, rather than being limited to one planet.
I have finally found a picture that best represent him. Blame my artistically blind nature for not being able to draw. ;-:


Character is awesome, all good, but there's no such rank as a vice-captain. There's a list of available ranks on the OP. If you want to be 2IC of the ship, it's just a lieutenant. Also be aware with regards your NPC, people generally aren't intelligence AND military. To be NI and an admiral is an absolute TONNE of power. NI aren't just spies, they have the power to commandeer basically anything and represent humanity's clandestine needs. Being a top brass officer is a bit overt

It is to be expected really. The UWG was on total war footing which meant conscription on a planet-by-planet basis depending on their situation. As individual worlds are pretty much free to run themselves as they see fit provided they adhere to UWG legislation, there will be a lot of variation on how they prepared to face The Nomad. The way to most accurately describe the UWG would be a planetary-scale melding of the EU and the UN. This probably worked against Humanity rather than for it when faced with an agile and extremely dangerous outside enemy.


Which is why I said it's not necessarily a bad thing :P
Yeah, there's a lot of military characters :P not a bad thing, but slightly limiting. Loken is technically kind of a bridge between the civilian and military departments for GM reasons
Only two from what I see, don't let that stop you
@CatharynNo need to rush I'll wait it out. I think my CS is overall ready but for that particular detail. In fact if I forgo naming them I could submit it as is

@Ozymandias I was thinking more along the lines of those ground troop robot thingies being able to chase a shuttle that is lifting off, even if only for a short distance off the ground, rather than a dedicated atmo aircraft.


In that case, not really. The ground troops are just ground troops.
@Ozymandias@Catharyn Question. Since I started working on my CS now... Are any of Nomad's robots flight capable? Or are they more of a ground troops sort of thing?


There are definitively flight capable craft that are launched from space. During the battle above Earth some of them flew down into the atmosphere and attempted to attack major cities, but essentially ended up dogfighting with all the major countries' air forces.


As Cathy says, provisionally accepted. Since this RPs initial planning we've intended the ship's captain to be an NPC, since he's essentially a tool of the Intelligence, basically under pain of death to follow orders from the agents aboard, which can be awkward for someone to RP. If you're cool with that, go ahead.

Here I go! Hope you like it



Fully accepted from me, cool species!
If you have a character in mind that is basically a backup to a main character, you can just write them into the narrative as you would an NPC rather than making a whole other CS for them
