I'm sure if you wanted to join in, we could find another Cryo storage room in our travels?Knife-28 said: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.

I had faith in your ability from your start...Otherwise I wouldn't have offered a sheet. The other RP is well thought out though so that makes me have even more faith in you lol.Dectomax said:Tips_of_Fingers said:EDIT: Sorry, the quote button didn't take...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 >.>Dectomax said: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, if you want to take a look at my first RP, which is still running...(No advertising at all...)

You'll see that when I have time...I can put together a lot of detail and information.![]()
Effort? Surely you jest good sir.Dectomax said: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.SeanTheSheep said: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.
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.
I'm just some idiot that you can ignore in a heartbeat if you don't want to listen to me, but I'm a massive whore when it comes to detail, so could we possibly have some more in the appearance section or the bio? There's nothing wrong with it, it's just a little lacking in substanceKnife-28 said:Ok, here it is;
Name: James Hale
Age: 28
Role: Electrical engineer
Weapon/equipment: A standard issue plasma torch, a Swiss army knife, a Holographic Data Viewer or HDV for short (Basically it?s a wrist mounted equivalent of a laptop). He wears a standard maintenance uniform, with the HMS Intrepid's logo stitched onto his left shoulder.
Appearance: James has short, messy hair that is half way between brown and blond.
He is about average hight and girth. He?s one of those people you would most likely forget if you bumped into him on the street.
Bio: James majored in Electrical engineering at Sydney University and fresh out of uni he volunteered to join the Intrepid. He is the backup electrical engineer, so he is only thawed from cryo in extreme situations or in the event that the main electrical engineer can?t preform his duties.
He reacts badly to conflict, opting to run away from a fight rather than face it.
So, is it acceptable?

It's a search you must undertake on your own. No amount of Google will help you. In fact, Google may harm your chances.Tips_of_Fingers said:O.OSeanTheSheep said:Also, I has a Beard Badge.
Where did you get that??? I want one, if only to compliment my real life beard.
From what I've gathered, after it's all gone to hell and nearly everyone's dead. I assume there'll be more clarification when the extra stuff gets written up.Irony said:Hmmm, a sci-fi survival horror RP eh? This sounds interesting. If there is still room for another then I'll whip up a char sheets for you to look at.
Aw what the hell, I'm gonna make a character sheet anyway. I'll post it up when I done.
Also just one question before I start thinking things up: When is the RP going to be taking place. Is it before shit goes down on the ship or will it be not long after the bad things start happening?
Wow. I think I got some upside down letters (either that or greek letters) one time, but at least its possible to type those out. I don't even know how yours would work.SeanTheSheep said:Also, this was my Captcha:

When you manage to get your laptop fixed, you might want to drop us all a line so we know so we can get this rolling if you want to.Dectomax said:My laptop is dead, waiting for a repair to take place. so, for now, the RP has come to a temporary pause!
Sorry guys!
