[General Alexei]

Spoiler: Character Sheet

Name: Alex Ross

Age:52

Role: HMS Intrepid's Deputy Chief Medical Officer

Weapon/equipment: Surgical equipment (Large scalpels and stuff like that). Collapsible metal Cane. CZ 75b pistol.

Appearance: 5'10. Grey hair. He wears a lab coat at pretty much all times, which always has a notepad, pen and clock in it, as well as his gun. Wears glasses.

Bio: Alex was offered a place on the HMS Intrepid as he was one of the world's best doctors, and also one of the most convenient to put on the Intrepid as he lived nearby. He was gifted from a young age with his intelligence and his family being wealthy enough to support him on his way to becoming a doctor. He became a doctor at the early age of 26, after after training to be a doctor. He also finished training to be a surgeon a year before the launch and was therefore invaluable to the crew.

He has some experience with computers and programming, and in a pinch could probably hack an average computer, given enough time.

During his stay on the Intrepid, he injured his leg and was given a cane to walk around with after treating it as best he could. He eventually asked to be put on cryogenic freezing to heal and rest up his leg, only to be woken in an emergency.

Also, he always carries a small, old CZ 75b pistol around with him. It's not very reliable and has a higher chance of jamming because Alex doesn't really know how to use or clean it. Carries it around after finding out that when you fail to save peoples loved ones, they can sometimes get very violent. Has little experience with it and so can't aim and fire it like a guard or soldier though.

hope thats okay.

Christopher "Chris" Bjorklund
Age: 28
Role
Investigator, in lack of a better word. Designated to go first to a planets surface and see if any hostile lifeforms are present.
Weapon/equipment
M56 magnetic coil rifle and a radio connected to the ships cockpit.
Bio
Born in the city of Göteborg, Sweden, Chris was very interested in interstellar travel, and wanted the oppurtunity to go to other planets himself. But his father, a respected policeman, wasn't very fond of the idea. He still accepted Christophers ambition, but he still didn't like the idea of breaking four generations of family tradition. To his joy, Christopher joined the police force at age 23, because of his love for his father.
But only one year after he had joined the force, he resigned to once again, try to pursue his dreams. He moved to Manchester and started training there, and had fully completed training at age 27.

Tell me if anything need changing.

Elaborate on the Bio. An investigation team would be a scientific based exploration, from atmosphere. Also, I just need a little more to work with. Consider this, along the RP I may look at a characters Bio, and create a scenario that may include a part of that. Either in the form of delusional visions, or as something which may be found on the ship.

So, would appreciate it if you could spend a little bit of time on that please! Or, you could tell me to jump off a cliff and it's fine? It's up to you! Haha

Spoiler: My sheet

Name: Hudson

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Weapons/Equipment:
Heavy laser bolt cutters, Welding torch, few other tools.

Role: Engineer

Appearance: Hudson stands at 5"10 he is well built and toned. His short brown hair, swept to the side, rolls over his light blue eyes. He wears a standard maintenance uniform, with the HMS Intrepid's logo stitched onto his left shoulder.

Bio:
Hudson was brought up on Earth, born to a poor family he spent his days fixing items for other people in return for food. His parents noticed his mechanical comprehension and signed him up for schooling at an Engineering school. There he easily outstripped his peers. He made short work of the education, finishing two years before he was meant to. After his leaving from the school he signed up to the engineering detail being sent out with The HMS Intrepid. His quiet, keep to himself attitude stopped him making many friends, though the others appreciated his skill and knowledge of his trade. Hudson is very reserved and quiet. He keeps to himself but will always offer to help others. He is also very intelligent, sensing peoples motives and understanding how people behave. His time as a poor child kept him modest and appreciative for what he had.

Just thought you'd like to see my character...

 

[SeanTheSheep]

Hmmmm. I had an idea, but it's gone now. I might write up a sheet in the next 24 hours.

 

[SeanTheSheep]

Double post because of Captchas. Damnit...

That's cool, looking forward to it!

Yeah...I've been caught out by them...Damn captchas

Ooh, this looks fun. Count me in. How will the GM play as well? Shouldn't they be running things?

Name: Tim Westerson
Age: 34
Role: Radio-Engineering (the crew who service the ship's reactor and FTL drive)
Weapon/equipment:
1 BNC (Biological, Nuclear, Chemical) Hazmat Suit
1 heavy-duty torch
Bio: One of the few members of engineering whose job it is to maintain the Intrepid's means of power and propulsion, Tim's job is to make regular trips inside the reactor to examine the control rods and replace any that are defective. He's woken from cryo every 3 months to make his solitary rounds, and then it's back inside for another cold sleep. This jarring routine of constant checking, solitude and staring into what is a tiny sun has not done much for Tim's mental health.

As a note about the RP, will we be getting more fluff and backstory once the proper thread is set up?

It'll act like an NPC, and also a way for me to push the story forward...without dropping something on your head and saying "Oh noes, med bay quick!"...haha

Once I see a viable amount of people I will start writing up more back story and other snippets of information for you. I have a little bit at the moment, but if you'd like me to I can expand and actually make a decent job of it!

Well that would be nice lol. I would rather not be participating in a half-arsed RP...I've encountered too many of those lately >.>

You'll see that when I have time...I can put together a lot of detail and information.

 

[NimbleJack3]

Actually, I'm going to have to opt out here. I've recently discovered I won't be able to make the time commitment to this RP. Thanks a lot for your (brief) hospitality, and I hope you guys have fun.

Someone can use my character as their own, if they want. I don't mind.

 

[ninja555]

Hey, interesting concept, will join, have sheet soon.

Also, could we make a clone character?

Spoiler: Sheet Within

Name: Liz Bowes

Age: 27

Role: Junior Communications Officer

Weapon/equipment: Small repair kit bag containing a screwdriver, a soldering iron, solder, a first aid kit capable of treating minor wounds, an anti-static wrist strap, a receipt from HMV for two CDs and a film, and a long range taser pistol with two spare batteries.

Personality (For flavour): Liz is usually cheerful and bubbly when introduced to new people, and tries to make light of even the worst situations. Her chirpy personality can be annoying to some, but she knows when to keep her mouth shut and her head down. If constantly faced with defeatism and pessimistic attitudes, she may become either incredibly irate, or her mood will spiral down into a depressed state. When faced with a problem, Liz will face it calmly and methodically, looking for the solution that takes the least time, and the least effort.

Appearance: Standing at a little under 5' 8", Liz is slightly shorter than average, with wavy, dark brown hair reaching past her shoulders. Liz's uniform is in line with the standard issue for comms officers,[footnote]Unless all uniform is standardized across the ship, deviating where necessary for some professions.[/footnote] dark grey, with lighter sections, and a small, coloured emblem denoting her status. She wears black plimsolls on her feet, and has a small tattoo of a double tribar on her left shoulder.

Bio: Born to a moderately wealthy English couple in 2060, From a young age, Liz had a fascination with her grandparents' old analogue radio, from "Way back when Apple only made computers, over sixty years ago" The radio was still chosen over the toys offered to her by her parents. Most radio stations had stopped broadcasting on AM networks, preferring digital methods in the sixties, but three year old Liz would distract herself for hours twiddling the knob back and forth, listening to the static change as it approached a station and then cycled back to the same static on the other side.

When she was eight, Liz found the radio not functioning, so she grabbed a screwdriver from her father's tool bench, and with a glint in her eye, set about dismantling her radio, carefully laying out each piece, and looking at the larger parts with fascination. It took her several tries, but she managed to successfully reconstruct the radio, and keep it working. From then on, she had an even deeper fascination with radios and other methods of communication, until, after she completed her education, she was approached by [Blank][footnote]Is NASA running this ship? Or a separate country? Or is it a conglomerate entity of various nations? clarification, will result in editing.[/footnote] and offered a position on the Intrepid. Due to her inexperience, she was brought on as what essentially meant a spare comms officer, that would stay in cryo until she was needed to either help the senior comms officer with something that required a second opinion, or the unlikely event that the senior comms officer became incapacitated, and unable to maintain the communications array.

Mere moments after the final message was sent, the comms officer met his demise, and the waking process for Liz began. As the ship scans had reported the senior comms officer had died of violent causes, along with her personal belongings, Liz was issued with a long range taser pistol.

It was done within 24 hours, so I hold true to my promise!
It was posted outside of 24 hours though, because my computer is a pooface.

All is subject to change at the behest of the all-powerful GM, especially the last part of the bio.

Sounds good! I can see you've put a shit-ton of effort into that! I'll get to writing some of the back story up and then you'll be able to edit accordingly.

Gah, I find a good RP when I'm going camping in a week for a week.....
I'll be keeping an eye on this one, it shows much promise.
