They'll close around mid-day on 24th December. Until then anyone can edit an already submitted sheet. Some time on the 24th I'll announce who made it in. I'll be away from home from 25th (Christmas!) until 29th December so the RP won't start until the 29th, hope no-one minds the delay.Krais101 said:
Good character, we haven't got a counsellor yet, I'd be very surprised if I don't end up accepting this sheet when the thread closes. The full information was written by a number of authors who you can see credited at the bottom of the OP so unfortunately there is the occasion mistake from some of the less-grammatically careful ones... if you see anything-else, let avouleance2nd know since he's in charge of that part.SeanTheBlueSheep said:
BTW, any relation to this guy: [user]SeanTheSheep[/user]?
Yeah, I figured, I just tend to be a little finicky.JoJoDeathunter said:
As for the other Sean, no, I just happen to be another Sean, born on the same day (of a diferent year), from the same area, with an eerily similar outlook on life.
The prevailing theory is that he is me from the future, returned to the past to complete the timeloop we/I have locked myself into.
If you want to see weird though, you should see me and his niece-in-all-but-blood talk. It's like conversing with a snarky, girl shaped mirror.
Also, as a minor issue, I'm not here from the 28th to the 3rd, so I might be a bit of a latecomer. Quite a few people might be out and about between Christmas and New Year though, so on a purely speculative level, it might be best to wait until the new year to start.
That's just my unprofessional deductipn though, so discard it joyously if you wish.
Name: Alexander Murphy Gass (Xander, don't call him Alex)
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Species: Human
Appearance: Alexander Gass is a tall, thin individual. Standing at 6'4" and weighing in at 190 lbs, he manages to look thin, but not underweight. He is of Irish and Scottish descent, with well kept fiery red hair and pale skin, along with steel-blue eyes, he has a small scar the left side (observer's right) of his chin. When he can, he will wear collared shirts and jeans. He wears a heavy gold chain and a ring inscribed with his initials.
Job Title: Starship Pilot, First Class
Equipment: Several books, a portable game device, and a very worn acoustic guitar.
Personality: Although he is quite closed off about his past, Xander is fairly social. Snarky and sardonic, he enjoys making non-hurtful jibes at people. However, he knows when enough is enough, and who takes his jibing the wrong way, one experience with Til was enough for him to know that she was off limits. He is extremely loyal to the people he trusts, and considers other's trust in him one of his most valuable possessions.
Strengths: Xander is an extremely skilled pilot, due to the fact that he was flying since he was 16. He has a solid understanding of 3 dimensional space, and is hyper-aware of his surroundings. He also is quite intelligent, and has a solid understanding of logic.
Weaknesses: Xander happens to be an extremely poor shot, which almost got him kicked out of the DC, something he isn't very proud of. He also is overly driven, once he starts something, he will attempt to finish it until it becomes impossible for him to continue. He is also quite hopeless when it comes to the ladies, despite all of his wit. He is typically obtuse when a woman is flirting with him, or is trying to lose him.
Bio: Xander grew up in the foster care system on Poravan. His parents had died during a house fire. Police had called it arson. Being fairly wealthy, they left Xander a large inheritance, set aside until he was emancipated. Xander was passed from foster home to foster home, at some he was treated quite well, but other, he was beaten severely. For sixteen years, he was passed around in the foster care system, never being adopted. Finally when he turned 16, he filed for emancipation and was granted it. He graduated from high school with honors that year, having been boosted up a grade due to excelling marks.
Xander's first purchase with his parents money, aside from a small apartment and necessities, was a civilian aircraft with lessons. After a couple years of flying, he started to get extremely proficient at it. When he turned 18, his parent's money started to run out on him, so he joined the Diplomatic Corps as a pilot. He did quite well in the classroom, during the survival tests and during flight training. However, he found that he was very poor at shooting a gun, which was a cause for concern, as combat training was a requirement to pass. Luckily, he passed by the skin of his teeth and graduated a pilot. After several years of flying starships he has attained a reputation. As a result, he found himself on Thomas Vance's starship.

Tell me if anything needs to be changed or not. Also, is there an official ship name yet?

That is a good point, it would be helpful to know about prospective absences over the next week from anyone who has one, if enough people are away at a certain time then the RP could wait. At-least I'm intending to have a small introductory part leading from the flavour text at the beginning of the OP to get everyone settled in before the first proper mission starts so it won't be a disaster if a few characters have to be "asleep" or "having a shower".SeanTheBlueSheep said:

SHEET IN PROGRESS
Name: Mae Rutan
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Species: Mezian
Appearance: He is only 5 feet at the top of his head, while he is normally 6 using his claws, which had to be sawed down to better accommodate the cramped hallways of space travel. While short, he is considered beautiful by Mezian standards, as his eyes show the heritage of three great lines of Enclave members. Light yellow, a pale purple, and a deep blue, counting from the top eye clockwise.
While he is a good specimen of Mezian attractiveness, most aliens wouldn't know it at first sight. Due to the low oxygen count compared to Meegaz, and the porous skin of Mezians that allows them to breath, he is forced to wear a skin-tight full body oxygen suit, similar to a space suit. It is pure white, with inspirations drawn from Human military uniforms with padded shoulders and a sleek appearance. Three viewing glass circles appear on the head, allowing his eyes to shine through, which is a bit unsettling to most other species, as it gives him a somewhat robotic appearance.
Job Title: Diplomat/Emissary of the Mezian Dominion. He also reports for the Lemyyn Information Beaureu back on Meegaz about all the new cities and races he has met.
Equipment: His suit, a full oxygen supply at all times, and a rail pistol for personal defense which is mostly kept in his room. He also keeps a Scribe Drone on hand to record the articles he writes as he experiences the stories.
Personality: He is a friendly and trustworthy person. He likes helping people, getting to know them, and making friends. Well, getting to know MOST people... He does harbor racial annoyance and distrust for the Crelm species, due to their predatory nature ("Natural born killers that can murder any time they please"), and insistence on being called "sheandhe" and "heandshe". He often uses only one, switching between the two every other time he must use it. Otherwise he is perfectly pleasant and charismatic talker, as befits his job.
He also loves other cultures, to the point where he is easily distracted about learning about them. He often goes touring on new locations, preferring to take in as much of the city/people/culture as physically possible while he can. He is a generous spender, as his rich upbringing, high paying job, and well funded part-time job allows him to spend generously when he touches down. He pays for anything he sees someone try to buy, often pays double the price for things he himself buys, and will give out large sums of currency to any beggars he sees along the way.
Politically, he has been taught, trained, and instructed to employ a Pro-Mezian agenda. He is willing to push other races out of the picture if it means the Mezians can take over that particular field. He will aggressively push this during negotiations, though will do it subtly enough as to not seem like he is demanding.
Strengths: Diplomatic, High Ranking in the Mezian Goverment, and deep personal pockets for when government money isn't available.
Weaknesses: Racially bashes Crelm, pushes Pro-Mezian agenda, not physically capable.
Bio: Mae was only 10 when first contact was made with the other races in the world, and he was 15 when the Mezians began to skyrocket the funding to their space program. When the SU delegate landed on Meegaz when he was 17, he had enough age and prestige to be the first student enrolled in the newly invented Mezian University of Alien Education.
Under the tutelage of several Alien professors (and a shit ton of translators), Mae learned several languages, mannerisms and biologies associated with the other Galactic civilizations. Mae ate this up, quickly rising through the ranks and becoming one of the top ranking students in the school. But unlike the other top students, Mae was personable, charismatic, and had the ability to sway others to his will.
For this reason, while the rest of those that graduated joined the SU's scientific, cultural, and military sectors, Mae was assigned to gain additional training to become a diplomat, and since he was only the diplomat currently available that could speak alien languages, he was made Emissary of the Mezian Dominion, and was negotiated to join the 53rd brigade as the Mezian Representative.

Nothing needs to be changed but there one additional bit of information I'd like, which planet was Xander born and raised on?Berenzen said:
It's been implied that the name of the ship is the "Star Brigade", though that might just be the nickname of the 7th Diplomatic Corps, I'll leave the final decision on the name down to Soviet Heavy since he's kindly designing the ship layout for us.
Two pilots is possible, not every sheet up so far will definitely be accepted into the final cut but it looks like I'll be aiming for a larger number of players so double roles are possible. To be honest, we've already got pretty much every role covered by at-least one sheet so I'd recommend sticking with pilot.
No, that's not the issue. What a Mezian does with its Shamund in private is its own business, I just thought it would be amusing to draw attention to the innuendo.JoJoDeathunter said:
Some of my bio had gotten eaten, so I fixed it up and did abit of polishing.
Also removed the engineering job title from my guy. He may be a jack of trades, but I guess I felt it better to just stick to being a pilot / Ex-Merc. I've only so many arms..... but we could fix that I guess. Muhaha.

Very nice, I like the discrimation aspect against the crelm, that'll be interesting to see played out. Just one mistake I can see, the Star Brigade is the "7th Diplomatic Corps", the 53 is from the century name "53rd Century".A Gent of Villainous Intent said:
Results for who got in will be out in around 12 hours if all goes to plan, so if there's anyone-else reading this who hasn't put in a sheet yet and wants to play then please hurry!
Is their only going to be one person for each job or will there be several people with one job? For example, can there be more than one pilot?
General consensus is that yeah, there could be more than one person with a job. It is a big ship after all.TheBlueShotgun0 said:
