Outsider RP

[Beliskner]

Alright we have 2 on Martenzo's proposition and 3 on Icekatze's project. Any one have objections to end voting today? We have still 2 people : Gudo and Casimir who might be interested in participation.

Ps. Martenzo,Icekatze please prepare a preliminary staffing positions, who will be needed, what positions available. etc. Give people ideas who to create.

[Martenzo]

Possible positions for ECS-Tempest:
There's a number of bridge crew positions. See the notes written on either of these two images. Every labeled seat needs to be filled.
Other positions include the Captain and the Loroi Liason Officer.
The Captain's position needs to be filled by a human. The Loroi Liason Officer is naturally a Loroi. There is also a a wing of 8 interceptors, and those need pilots.

You're also free to make up additional positions, within reason, of course. The species represented aboard the ECS-Tempest are: Humans, Loroi, Neridi, Barsam and Pipolsid. There's only a handful of the Pipolsid, however, considering their for special life-support. The Loroi are also underrepresented compared to the total number of crew.

[Gudo]

I'm torn between the two of them But I think I'll go with Icekatze's.

Shit though, maybe we can run both at the same time?

Huh. How come we didn't think of that before? Is there any reason we can't run more than one RP at a time?

Anyway, I say the vote is over. 2 votes for my idea, 4 for icekatze. Doesn't look like there'd be three more voters coming to change this result, if those with a full idea of their own abstain.

[icekatze]

hi hi

Fair enough. I'll get the write-up done some time this weekend (probably after I finish filing my taxes.) Then we can go over characters and such.

[sunphoenix]

Hey IceKatze what system for character generation are we using? Minimus?

Here is what I'd like to play...

Kamielle Lynn

Mother raised from then on always dreamed of being a Pilot like his father and a at age 18 applied to Naval academy. Proved to be a naturally talented pilot... just like his father.

EDIT: LOL...sorry couldn't figure out the 'spoiler/hide' syntax... still didn't seem to help much!
EDIT 2: Great Idea Gudo! Appreciate it!

[Gudo]

When we actually do start playing, it would be great if people put non-plot stuff (like stats) in spoiler tags. They really help keep the wall of text manageable.

These are just character concepts. I'm waiting for the GMs to provide more information before fleshing out the characters.
---
Mord Aedin - Ground Commando
Born aboard a military hospital ship in Alpha Centauri, Mord is a nasty, brutish and xenophobic man. His loyalty to the TCA is without question, he will carry out even the most unpleasant orders. While these qualities helped Mord distinguish himself in the war with the Umiak, they certainly try the patience of the Loroi. When in combat, Mord puts a great deal of faith in "the plan" and is sometimes inflexible even when the situation demands it. Despite his shortcomings as a leader, he is at least competent to serve and possesses a nearly photographic memory.

SpoilerShow

Name:Mord Aedin (pronounced Mord Ay-den)
Race:Human - Alpha Centauri System
Rank:Sergent Major, TCA Marines
Personality: Rude, brutal, xenophobic, but fearless and loyal.
Abilities/Skills: Unarmed combat, firearms proficiency, squad level tactics, excellent memory
Additional Notes: Being able to remember something doesn't mean Mord understands it. Carrying out unpleasant orders also means carrying out the poorly thought out ones.

And let's have a non-douchebag

Selina Callis

SpoilerShow

Name:Selina Callis (pronounced sell-ee-na cal-is)
Race:Human - Earth
Rank: Lieutenant JG - TSA Navy O2.
Personality: Lazy and somewhat meandering, Selina comes off as not really caring about anything.
Abilities/Skills: Combat First Aid, Battlefield Medicine, Field Surgery, excellent focus.
Additional Notes: Being able to remember something doesn't mean Mord understands it. Carrying out unpleasant orders also means carrying out the poorly thought out ones

[sunphoenix]

Perhaps a Separate folder/thread' should be started for characters.. and the Game thread...with an in-character thread and a Out-of-Character thread?

[Mikk]

I presume this is the Minimus that has been mentioned?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it looks complicated =P

I find it unfortunate that the Tempest setting got outvoted, but fortunately the leading proposition is also on a starship. This time around I'm seriously contemplating participating.

EDIT: fixed vanishing spaces.

[sunphoenix]

Yes. That is where I got it. A general dice roller could be this.

[Beliskner]

Guys calm a bit. We don't know what system Icekatze will declare. Give him time to make final introduction to the story and presentation of needed info.

[Senanthes]

Honestly, I was rather torn between both myself... I don't see why we couldn't do both at the same time. If nothing else, it may keep either or from getting stale.

[Codius_Dak]

i had the same thought.

[Gudo]

Here's what I was thinking sunphoenix.

Bascially, you have the character name, then their bio, then all the rest of their stats get spoiler'd. Also, I colored your character's name because we're each supposed to assign a unique color to our characters' speech. Feel free to pick your own color I just thought blue worked well :p

[sunphoenix]

WoW! I feel silly... your idea is perfect! Changing immediately!
I was planning on posted his spoken words in Blue anyways...

Thanks!

[Count Casimir]

I know I'm pretty late, but I could go for any of the starship ones--those seem to be the most popular anyway.

Are we doing more than one? Should we vote on that?

[Gudo]

They're all starship ones We've elected to do Icekatze's proposal which means the starships will be the DeSoto and Innalinzil. The next step is for the players to generate human and Loroi crew. (Like subphoenix and I.)

Personally, I think we should play two at the same time (assuming Martenzo is up for it) and I don't really see a need to vote. If you don't want to do two, only play in one >_>

EDIT: Hey Sub, I was just looking over your char and realised his rank is inconsistent. O1 means he's the first officer rank. In the navy, that's Ensign. But your char says Lieutenant which would be O3. If you want to meet in the middle, it would be Lieutenant Junior Grade - O2.

[sunphoenix]

Opps... my mistake... Fixed! I play so many games the O-ranks vary a lot...

[Karst45]

arggg i spend one week away and get a wall of post to read. can someone just give me a resume of all this?

[sunphoenix]

It has been decided ...at least for now, to play one PbP game - Icekatze's: Operation Deep Strike.
