Red Squadron

IC Thread

Red Squadron will detail the missions and lives of a squadron in the Novarian Air Force. The Novarians are an island nation off the coast of the mainland. Noveria is blessed with temperate weather and wide rolling plains with few tall mountains and cliffs. It's known for its liberal views, democratic government and economic stability. This is all threatened though when one of the major countries on the mainland, the Union of Central Communist States starts to gain more land, through military invasion, promoting coups in foreign countries, fire bombing resistant territories and annexing smaller countries with no military.

The lucky few that manage to escape to still independent countries such as the Thracia or Keshbal find them selves in sub-par living conditions as slaves and cheap labor.


As the last truly free country Novaria has taken a firm stance against the communist invaders, promising support from its extensive air force for the struggling nations of Thracia and Keshbal who are mounting massive armies in the face of the UCCS. Regardless of this obvious commitment on their part Novaria refuses to deploy its army; wanting to avoid a full scale mobilization until things become truly dire.

Red Squadron is set in an alternate time line somewhere around the 1990s - 1980s, with no major revolutions in stealth technology or super powerful guidance systems.

If you are interested in fighting for freedom, flying faster then sound and just blowing stuff up, fill out the character sheet bellow:

Name:
Rank: (Leave blank; I will fill it in according to your biography, position and any requests you might have)
Position: (Pilot, Mechanic, Co-Pilot, Navigator, Other Crew. You should only pick co-pilot if you have another partner in mind, otherwise you can pair up with an NPC or I will assign you one.)
Aircraft Choice: (Fighter, Bomber or Attack)
Appearance: (Must be at least a paragraph or an ORIGINAL picture; I do not accept images from TV shows, books, or games)
Biography: (optional; but will indicate how well trained you are/aren't and add some good tidbits for your fellow pilots)

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.

Note: If you hve already filled out a character sheet, either copy & paste it from the old location or ask me to move it to this thread for you. Which ever is easiest for you, I will also not be finalizing any profiles until we start roleplaying in the actual in character thread. This means that I will allow you to make any sort of changes you want. Afterwards I will only allow minor tweaks.

- Enjoy!

Ooh, I'll join. I love fighter pilot stories. I tried making one on a different roleplaying site awhile back but it never really took off (Wow, sorry. That was a horrible pun).

Also I added in a call-sign because that happens to be my favorite part about my character.

Name: Samantha (Sam or Sami) Bristol
Call-sign: Crash
Rank:
Position: Pilot
Aircraft Choice: Fighter
Appearance:
Biography: Sam was born in one of the largest cities in Novaria where both her parents worked hard, but were still impoverished. She was an only child and with her mom and dad gone all day at some job or another it left her home most of the time by herself. This was a bad thing because Sami was an intelligent girl and with nothing to stimulate her she often found herself getting into trouble. As she continuously sought attention from parents that were never around she got into fights, stole things, and caused whatever mischief she could think of. By the age of fifteen she became uncontrollable and, after stealing a car and totaling it (which would later on earn her the call-sign Crash), was sentenced to be sent to military school. It ended up being exactly what she needed. She flourished under the strict discipline of her drill sergeant and soon became one of the top students at the school (though she still has her umm... spirited disposition, it's just been redirected into something productive). After graduation she was granted a full ride to the Air Force Academy where she decided to try her hand at flying which, she soon found out, seemed to be her niche in life. Now at the age of 28 she is still flying for the Novarian Air Force and has made quite a name for herself as a fighter pilot with the wild aerobatic stunts she often pulls.

Looks gooood. :] Approved.

Name: Isabella Jackson
Call Sign: Dizzy
Rank:
Position: Pilot
Aircraft Choice: Fighter
Appearance: Isabella is five feet eight inches tall, with dark brown hair slightly shorter than shoulder length and hazel eyes. She has slightly smaller than average frame, but is in excellent physical condition.
Biography: Isabella was raised by her parents on their farm, and grew up helping out with chores, playing an essential role in preparing her for the military. The farm was near an airbase, so she often saw planes taking off and roaring overhead. She quickly took interest in what was going on. As soon as she could, she started flying recreational aircraft, and then went to military college where she passed in the top five in her class.

She then entered the Air Academy, where she passed with flying colors, with the only major incident being a matter of aircraft error. On her first solo flight, a control system sent her into a spiraling dive, which she barely managed to recover from, which earned her the call sign Dizzy. She is 27 has flown in several combat scenarios now, with four confirmed kills, and just received transfer orders to Red Squadron.

here it is again:

Name: Mike 'The Hammer' Whiskey
Rank:
Position: Pilot
Aircraft Choice: Fighter
Appearance: Mike is five foot nine and 215 pounds. He is 32 years old. Mike has a short buzz cut style hair around his ears and the back of his neck, and it is grown out slightly more on the top of his head. Mike is built with good muscle tone, and generally has the 'don't mess with me' look. Mike has blazing green eyes that can make even the most defiant person listen to him. Mike has a moustache that is kept trimmed to military standards. Mike has a youthful look to him for 32 most people think he is 25
Biography: Mike grew up in a strict home, both of his parents were military pilots, so Mike always knew he wanted to be a pilot. Growing up was character building for Mike as his father would have called it. Mike's father ran a tight ship, so the transition from home life to military life was easy for him. Mike was a hard worker all of his life, achieving whatever he put his mind to. Mike always was pround to be in the military and be serving his country, he was always a very proud citizen. Although he had a tough up-bringing, Mike has managed to mellow out some and although he keeps his principles in mind at all times he can let loose and have fun, if you are on his good side Mike is the best friend you will ever have, but if you are not, watch out.

Name: Jackie "Rat" Danner
Rank:
Position: Mechanic
Aircraft Choice: Anything with wings
Appearance: 5'6" with blonde hair tied in a knot at the back of her head to fit beneath a cranial. Blue eyes and a cat-with-the-canary grin. Usualy seen in maintainer's fatigues, green troubleshooter cranial, and a lineman's 'yellow shirt' that indicates her possition as a plane handler (One who launches, recovers, and directs aircraft). Done in reflective tape, the back of her cranial depicts a mean-looking rat skull and two crossed signal-wands. (Planehandlers and others who work on the flightline are often called 'line rats')

http://www.defenselink.mil/home/imag...20050901d1.jpg

Biography: Graduating highschool, Jackie went straight into the military. Wanting to be a pilot and figuring the best route was to be a maintainer who knows the planes, Danner has been a mechanic for 5 years and has a flair for coaxing broken birds back into the air. A qualified plane captain, she can all but fly the plane herself, and with a delicate balance of smartassery and tact; can handle any officer who thinks to tell her what 'their' plane can do. After all, once they drop the wheels; the planes belong to her.

((Hopefully I'll be good to go by the time this kicks off. I'm bringin the laptop in case the trip I'm on gets wifi, so dont think you have to wait up on me. XD))

All approved, except fo- kidding, kidding.. it all looks good.

I'll be making the IC thread soon.

Name: Donovan Guercio
Call Sign: Bishop
Rank:
Position:
Aircraft Choice: Fighter
Appearance: Donovan is six feet three inches tall, with dark brown hair that extends down over his ears and cobalt colored eyes. He has a tall lean frame and is fairly muscular, but all in all he is a bit skinny.
Biography: To him the airforce was just a family tradition, everyone went and now his turn had finally come up. After flight school where he did fairly well, he has had a few missions earning him a bit of experience. Got the callsign Bishop way back in flight school as he always oversaw the battle situation before making his move.

Bishop means Overseer


Looks like we have about 4 pilots, I could be something else if you want me to be.

Seeing as this is primarily a pilot-centric roleplay, I want at least nine pilots (counting me). Each pair of four will be put into a section, with me calling the shots. If we dont get enough pilots for that plan we'll either just have two sections of two or work as a single over-sized section.

I'll join, just give me a few seconds to make a profile. ^^ I'll edit it into this post

Name: Jeremy "Jem" Hatcher
Rank:
Call Sign (not sure what they are but...): Eagle
Position: pilot
Aircraft Choice: Fighter
Appearance: Couldn't find a RL pic sorry.
Biography: Jem grew up on farmland, as a simple hand, going to school and helping out his family, until one day his friend left to join the Airforce. He wasn't much for planes, so he left and joined the army. After a few years in the army, he overcame his fear of hieghts and transfered into the Airforce to be with his friend, who he found out died in a plane crash due to a mechanical malfunction. As a tribute to his friend, Jem fixed the fighter, and uses it for his training.

Is it okay?
