It's pretty much anything that ends you up in the hangar at this point. Maybe your character is cleaning his favorite gun or something when the announcement comes on and he gears up. This would possibly give us some information on what sort of soldier he is, etc.

Sorry that I haven't done my character sheet, homework and being sick were in my way. But now I'm back.

It's quite alright. I'm dealing with some education difficulties as well. Though I am now finished and free for the weekend.

As Chief of Engineering I thought I would make a mock up of Main Engineering since I have the free time and it would serve as a good reference for me and Dizzy as we'll be spending a lot of time there. I'll put it up here once I'm done with it. I could do some simple plans for other places like the bridge too if you'd like Knight. Nothing fancy, just some color coding and basic floor plans to give people an idea of where things are in key areas so we don't get confused by everyone having a different picture in their head.

Psst... Where is everyone?

Posting now. Just woke up.

Sounds like a great idea.

I was bored so I went and made myself a roster of skull squadron's pilots, and divided them into 4 3-man teams, which can change as/if more pilots join skull squadron

This whole time I thought we were meeting in a hangar bay on the Vigilance instead of an enormous hangar bay that the Vigilance was in. I guess it says something about the FSA since they built a hangar for such a massive ship instead of docking it to the station via an airlock...

I've been itching for a Sci fi RP ever since the last one I was in died. I saw that this was still accepting so I figured why not now? Tell me I need to edit anything.

Full Name: Raymond "Ray" Bellard
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Branch of Service: FSA "Landers"
Rank: (E-8) Master Sergeant
Military Occupational Specialty: Scout Sniper
Appearance:






Personality: Ray is a quiet soldier, it comes with the job which usually sees him having to stay near silent on the field while he either scouts ahead, snipes or does both. He's friendly with his fellow crewmen, cracking jokes to lighten up the mood on occasion. He puts the well being of the crew and the mission ahead of everything else, doing what is needed to get the job done. He's great at planning tactics before a battle and prefers to work with a smaller group.

Biography: Ray's childhood was nothing out of the ordinary, he was raised by a single mother, his father never in his life except the very early stages. He graduated high school as a solid B student, unsure of where to go next in life. So he worked construction for two years, it was hard, but honest work, he hated it and enlisted shortly after quitting at the age of 20. He eventually made his way as a scout sniper, distinguishing himself as a trusty soldier able to hit whatever target he was asked and willing to do whatever was needed win the battle that day.

He has spent every year since then in the Marines, reaching the rank of Master Sargent, seeing many battles all over, having no problem with serving wherever they needed him. He jumped at the opportunity to join the crew of The Vigilance, inspired to see the stars which interested him from a young age.

Well, that was the original idea. But someone made their post that the Vigilance was inside the hangar so I just went with it.

Accepted. Will add you to the list shortly. We might close off applications now.

This is what I did on my lunch break.

Main Engineering Floor Plan:

I mean, I read "the alpha hangar bay, where the Vigilance remained docked." which, to me sounded like, "the Vigilance was docked in the alpha hangar bay"....

I would like to see that

And now I am done with my first post. It just took a little inspiration to get me back into the writing mood.

Hahaha, "FNG". I can see Skull Squadron having multiple facepalms over what my character says and does

And I am going to make this comment here to state the obvious. A ship the size of the Vigilance would have not one med bay but two if not three med bays. There would be a fore and aft med bay and each would have a commander rank or above medical officer. There are likely to be a commanding officer for the medical bay and a XO in charge if the CO is not available. In my case, I would be the CO of a medical bay(most likely the aft med bay) and the XO would be a Lieutenant Commander or Lieutenant. The size of the ship and amount of people who work on it makes it so that there is most likely a hundred or so medial corpsmen and women or more. The lowest rank we can have in the medical bay would be a Hospitalman recruit and the rank above those are as follows. E-2: Hospitalman Apprentice, E-3: Hospitalman . That is just basic ranking for them. After that they are petty officers.

What's a petty officer?

Also, I apologize for the delay. I should be able to post later on tonight.

Question, how are the fighter's launched? is there just a hangar door that opens, and the fighters lift up and fly out VTOL style? or is there like a launch rail inside the ship?
