Appearance: Tall and slim, Gabriel is all whipcord muscle, the kind that conceals a great deal more strength than it reveals. He could be described as angular, and sharp, rather than handsome, but there is a warmth in his eyes that belies his harsh, gaunt exterior.

Name: Zain, Gabriel

Callsign: Chaplain
Gender: Male
Age: 34

Psychological Analysis: Most people would not place Gabriel in the military, let alone in a unit as ruthless and elite as the 101st. He’s too kind, too caring, and altogether too intelligent to have been serving in that unit for the last eight years. They would be right, perhaps. But the fact of the matter is that for all his caring nature, there is a driving determination at his heart that could cool stars.

His eyes betray a wisdom that belies his years, and his multitude of disciplines often see him acting as everything from medicae to confessor. He has turned down multiple opportunities for leadership, he is no commander, he knows that much, but his advice is often worth listening to, and he has the patience to listen to whatever rambling stories people want to get off their chest.

Military Background: Gabriel followed his father, and mother into medicine, at least at first. He graduated at the top of his class and several years ahead of schedule. At only twenty, he was one of the youngest doctors to ever leave the prestigious medical and mechanical schools of earth. But some strange obsession meant that he did not stop there. He soon bent his formidable mind to the military, but unlike some, chose not to attend the military academies, though with his record they would have undoubtedly welcomed him with open arms. All his life things had simply been laid out for him, and this time he was going to earn it.

The galaxy is never at peace, there is always conflict somewhere, and he served as a front line medic for eight years until somehow, in the faceless bureaucracy that is most of the military, he was noticed. In this time he had ascended to the rank of Sergeant, but steadfastly refused any advancement beyond that, unwilling to take the risk of leaving the front lines and the men who served there. He was offered a position in the 101st, and without hesitation took it, proving to be a valuable, and extremely effective operative, medical skills included.

Cybernetic/Biological Augmentations: Intern Mk3 – A matched pair of augmetic hands, these are the only prosthetics Gabriel has fitted, and were both voluntary at that. Each enables increased dexterity and steadiness of hand, and are capable of exhibiting or mounting a variety of surgical tools and implements.

Loadout: O-1 Mk IIc Special Operations Armour – the legs of the armour have been replaced with the same improvements more commonly found in PA-1 Scout Armour, offering some increase in speed at the cost of making the lower limbs more vulnerable.

ACS – Adaptive Combat System

Keller Mk3 – Triumvirate – A tri-barrelled, semi-automatic pistol made popular for its rapid rate of fire, but non-existent recoil, it is also the most accurate pistol on the market, either commercially or military. It possesses a magazine of twelve bullets of .357 calibre and makes up for what it lacks in stopping power with the ability to take the wings off a fly at fifty paces.

Barrier Stave

Electron Mace

Four Electron Grenades

Medkit – Contains Biogel, bandages, and pretty much everything else that can be realistically carried and applied in a battlefield situation.

I liked the depth hexaflexagon went into

nosuchthing, just give the rules a quick lookover, and we'll be good to go

As for everyone else, make last minute edits to your CS if you'd like and prepare for the OOC/IC!

Oh well Lucas looks to be the essential optimistic young one who will have to be irreparably broken over the course of the RP until he becomes a grumpy jaded individual like he should be


Ah, I love this response of yours. Now I'm very sure I'm going to enjoy this RP, haha.

Ha! Well I don't know how most people choose to portray the act of war in RPs but personally I believe in the Hemingway point of view on it. Where nobody wins even if you win.

You are correct in that that will be the general feel of this RP. Lol, and I too was happy Xion made a very optimistic character to be broken down via the horrors of war.

Oh, and Hex, one very minor note, but the ACS due to its bullpup nature cannot have any other stock than the one it currently has, if you wish to place it in a sidearm holster, the PDW configuration in semi-automatic is still quite accurate. From personal experience, I can safely say as long as you are shooting within the area of 50-100ish yards, barrel length has very little effect on your accuracy. If you want to go beyond that, then yes, I may have to recommend a longer barrel..

I am very interested in this RP. However, I dunno if I can write up a character at the moment due to my current busy schedule... I'll be sure to get a sheet up as soon as I can, however. Is there still room for a Scout-Sniper/Marksman on our team?

@Vietmyke, very eager to get this up and running. I don't usually go for sci-fi rp's but I have been trying to come out of my comfort zone lately. I think this rp is going to be good for my creative processes. Is there going to be more info on planets, ships, and other settings or are we going by the seat of our pants on that?
Kudos Hex, love some Hemingway, and I too prefer the gritty reality of war.

Also, are there any changes that I need to make to my character or is everything tip top for go?

Duly noted I'll make adjustments to the CS accordingly.

Thanks! lol And watching the optimistic and carefree be broken and destroyed a la All Quiet On The Western Front is always a fascinating experience. Especially when you remember to bring the popcorn!

@Rultaos you're good to make me a character. On that note, interest is now closed for this RP.

Lol, I'm happy you're enthusiastic. As for into, yes and no. I'll be providing information for ships, weapons, planets, technology, etc that directly pertains to us during the story, such as the planet we're on the ships we're using, etc. However, the rest of the Crisis universe is left purposefully vague to allow players to develop the world and ideas as they see fit- provided it stay within the guidelines of the universe-.
