Speaking of ships, I assume we'll all be using the one that dervish's character has correct?
X-Com War for Earth
The year is 2017, two years ago an unknown extraterrestrial enemy destroyed an entire platoon of United States Marine Corps personnel. There was one survivor, a Marine Lieutenant by the name of Jordan Rose. His reports on the events of that night has been announced in a secret meeting of the United Nations to every major government in the world. The UN has approved the activation of the Extraterrestrial Combat Unit, X-Com.
Commander Richard L. Harris of the United States Army has been chosen to command this program. Construction on X-Com's base of operations deep in the underground of Central Africa has been completed and X-Com is being funded by the leading Council of Nations of the project. The best soldiers from around the world have been brought to X-Com HQ for training in the advanced weapons provided to the program. All Soldiers, Scientists, Engineers, Command crew, and security personnel have been reported dead to the world. Secrecy of the project is top priority.
The past two years have been quiet, no alien activity has been reported by any nation of the world. Until last month, a small German town was attacked. The entire population is missing, they are all presumed dead. We do not know why these aliens have attacked us, we only know that we must defend ourselves. X-Com stands ready to reply to the next Alien attack on any part of the world. Global satellites patrol the skies on the look out for any alien activity.
You have been chosen as a member of this historic project. What ever your role in X-Com know that you will be helping t defend humanity from this other worldly threat.
As you can all probably tell (hopefully) this is an X-Com based RP. I set it a few years after the events of the new game so that we aren't pretending this all happens next year. Each player will be allowed three characters, two soldiers and one non combat character such as scientists or engineers. I will be playing as the Commander himself as well as two soldiers. (One will be that Marine survivor mentioned above.)
Characters have a chance of dying. Every once and awhile I will have a vote as to what character should be the next to eat it. I will ask the players in a PM and get each of their responses, then I will send the "lucky" player the news and it is up to them to figure out how their character dies. No character is safe not even mine, this is X-Com by the way. Well one exception will be the Commander since he won't be in many fights. If your character is voted out THEY MUST DIE in the next mission. If you refuse to kill your character I will do it for you, and if you refuse to let that happen all of your characters will be killed and your spot will open up. If a character dies feel free to create another one that comes in as a fresh rookie and we will accept them with open arms. (Until maybe they die.)
This is a mature RP so feel free to throw everything from cussing to romance into the RP. Within reason, I am not going to read porn on my thread.
Now for the CS
Name: (Self Explanatory)
Nickname: (optional, keep them military appropriate)
Nationality: (Where your character is from, X-Com is multi-cultural by the way.)
Ethnicity: (white, black, asian, etc.)
Age: (Keep it realistic for military field operators, nothing over say 45)
Appearance: (Good description or a picture, no anime please.)
Specialty: (Sniper, infantry, medic, machine gunner, scientist, etc. Things like gene mods and psionics will be added as we progress.)
Biography: (Good, descriptive backstory of your character's past. X-Com can have some pretty unique people. Was he/she in a military or a criminal? You know how it goes, make these things good.)
More details will be given in the OOC if this gains interest.

A sniper with only two eyes? Pssssshhhhh!
That just means he's more skilled! :)
Added some more to Kalux's backstory. I gave him a history with Siame.
Just a preliminary, still have tweaks and details to put in but that's basically what I came up with today. Hope you like and don't worry I plan on expanding his back story more before this begins, I'm not finished yet!
Profile Reconstruction
Name: Kalux Vitiate
Race: Turian
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Class: Soldier, Sniper
Appearance:
Kalux stands 6'5" and is slightly larger than the average Turian when it comes to weight. He has on many occasions been called "chubby" by his Human and Turian friends but most other species don't seem to notice. He has lightly colored skin with dark brown face paint which he adopted himself to avoid the bareface ridicule of his people and to better blend in with crowds. He usually wears small jewelry on the lowest part of his crest which many humans have described as "ear rings" He also always wears one of his fathers teeth around his neck as a sign of both the respect and hatred he had for the man.
Weapon List Diamond Back IV (Hahne-Kedar Shadow Works), Naginata IV (Ariake Technologies)
Equipment List Medium Mercenary Armor IV (Ariake Technologies), Frag, Smoke, and Flash Bang Grenades. A few small recon drones.
Powers: Adrenaline Rush, Assassination, Overkill, Incendiary and Armor Piercing Ammo, Concussive shot.
Talents: Medium Armor, Assault Rifles, Sniper Rifles, Immunity, Fitness
Background: Born on Omega in 2146 to Kyler (One of Aria's lieutenants) and Sia Vitiate, Kalux grew up around mercenaries and gangsters. From an early age Kalux was taught to use a weapon by his father. He was often brought along when his father conducted "business" which included everything from interrogation to bounty hunting and smuggling.
Kalux first killed at the age of eleven under the orders of dear old dad, A Batarian merchant had failed to pay Aria's "protection fees". He was forced to shoot the man in the head at point blank range, it was his fathers attempt to toughen him up since the young Turian would never serve in the Turian military like his father. This greatly impacted Kalux's life turning him into a sarcastic cynic, it also gave him an extreme hatred for his father for making him murder an innocent.
By the age of 14 Kalux became fully involved in his father's missions for Aria. He worked as a sniper and infantry style operative. In a year he became one of the most feared men on Omega, many believed he even passed up his father in sheer ability. When the Vorcha began taking territory in Omega's lower levels, Kalux and his father led Aria's counter attack. They stopped the entire Vorcha offensive in less than a month, however Kalux was severely injured from an explosion which put him in a coma for five years.
When he woke up at the age of 20 Omega was a different place with three different major mercenary groups having territory and deals with Aria. He also learned that his father was a traitor with a very large bounty on his head and that he killed his mother. Kalux spent the next two years tracking his father down. He finally killed him after a long firefight ending with his father taking a sniper round through the skull.
When he collected the bounty, he became a freelancer taking jobs from anyone with the money to pay him. He became one of the most famous bounty hunters in the galaxy doing jobs with people like Zaeed Massani. He became extremely wealthy and developed a habit of drinking and gambling which often got him in trouble with both legitimate governments and mercenary groups. The Eclipse in particular has a problem with him seeing that he owes the organization a substantial amount of money (which he refuses to pay.)
As his gambling debts rose, Kalux needed a more stable job than bounty hunting with a more steady paycheck. Therefore he began the rigorous screening process of becoming a private mercenary for Siame Industries at the age of 26. He signed a five year contract with the group taking jobs chasing pirates who raided worlds under Siame protection. He made it his personal agenda to harass Eclipse often taking jobs in which Siame was raiding their bases and even bringing high level Eclipse mercs into custody.
Siame gave Kalux command of a small squad of elite mercenaries called the Crimson Rifles to carry out bounty and protection jobs for the company. They became a very reliable asset for the company pulling off incredible jobs including on specific raid against the Blood Pack in which they killed a thousand year old Weyrloc warlord. They became very famous throughout Siame Industries and the company began renting them out to legitimate governments such as the Turians and the Alliance in attacks against Batarian slavers.
The Crimson Rifles were present on Elysium during the Batarian attack in 2176 trying to gain Siame a protection contract with the colony. However they ended up in a massive firefight on the ground trying to hold the line against a battalion of Batarians (with the help of Alliance marines). They were pushed back and half of Kalux's squad and all of the marines were killed along with a rather large number of civilians. Kalux saw this as a personal failure as did his employers. He and his team spent the last year of their contracts protecting unimportant colonies, none of which saw any action.
At the age of 31, Kalux's contract with Siame expired, he and the Crimson Rifles became freelance. Kalux decided to renew his grudge with Eclipse and began harassing their operations at every opportunity. The Rifles even went as far as helping Blue Suns take territory from the Eclipse on multiple planets including Omega (Kalux saw some irony in that.)
Eventually the Eclipse attacked Kalux's base of operations, stealing all of his substantial wealth and killing every member of his team. Kalux was severely outnumbered and only allowed to live because the Eclipse boss, an Asari named Sevra Dolrias, was feeling "generous." Eclipse quickly spread the word of how the legendary bounty hunter was defeated, his reputation suffered greatly.
Kalux had to begin again taking on small, badly paying jobs that were far below his skill level. He was delivering a runaway slave back to the Batarians on Torfan when the Alliance attacked (a job he was in no way proud of.) He fought with the Batarians holding the Alliance soldiers back until the moon was overrun. Kalux barely escaped with his life and is now being hunted by the Alliance as an enemy of humanity, putting him at odds with his old employers Siame who recently signed a contract with the Alliance. He is now hiding out on Cartagena Station until everything blows over. However he might be willing to work with a certain group of criminals if the pay is right, at least they were going after the right people.

Just brainstorming at the moment, I might find a way to get around the whole bareface thing since Turian facepaint is awesome. Or I'll just make him a colony kid, trying to put the pieces together at the moment.
So, a Turian who was born and grew up on Omega to a family that worked for Aria. He never joined the Turian Military and spent his entire life as a mercenary/bounty hunter. Yes or no?
Room for another?

Forum: Advanced Roleplay
I would be interested in joining this if spots open up, just send me a pm if more players are needed and I'll get a character/characters up depending on what you need. Just let me know.
As a fan of both the prequels (minus annoying Jar Jar and midichlorians) and the animated TV show, I would like to get a Clone Wars RP going. One of my favorite games of all time was the old original Xbox Republic Commando game and I have always loved the whole clone army idea. I'm looking to see if there is any interest in this and I will get the OOC up if i get at least three other people because it takes four to make a commando squad. I'm hoping however for around eight players total however so we can have two fully active squads. We will be playing through our lives as commandos throughout the three year conflict of the Clone Wars from the battle of Geonosis to the infamous Order 66. Any information regarding a clone commando can be found on the wookiepedia page here Clone Commando
Squad members will be Leader, Slicer(hacker), Explosives, and Sniper. Every Commando no matter their specialization is extremely deadly and has advanced genes and weapons training. We will take on everything from covert ops to space battles and boarding missions to full on frontlines combat. We are the best of the best in the Clone Army and no Separatist is safe when we are around. I hope to see some interest in this, and please no hate on the prequel fans lol!
