Well, my avatar's a rocket, and I made up my username. So, there it is. ========================================================== |Username: Sutternalt |Character nickname: N1-L3 |Gender: Male |Appearance: [img=http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/spacecraft/russia/n1-1.jpg] [hider=Larger but Cooler Picture][img=http://api.ning.com/files/DuNuQ4mQzohIskWk7pgF3vBKaN62GJs1GuJ1BS5wYb9IGHBNyXSKSJo4sotx*23HK8CZv9QQ4wl3tfzD8duRoSMdzMBmTMF3/megathoughcloudscompositedx.jpg][/hider] [url=http://www.russianspaceweb.com/n1.html]Interactive Graphic[/url] Total Height: 105m Maximum Diameter: 17m |Personality: Quick to judge, very forgiving, tends to empathize with people. Likely more curious than is strictly healthy for himself, and generally enjoys puzzling over things. Loves to jump to the extreme, convoluted solutions rather than the simple, tried-and-true methods. Probably has a compulsive need to be different. |Alignment: Protagonist |Skills: +Before: Good at spatial reasoning and math. Can deal with people somewhat effectively. Decent grasp on physics and rudimentary engineering. Probably might be able to write computer code. Can speak a little spanish. +After: Understands Russian. Zero-g maneuvering, orbital mechanics, control and understanding of N1 equipment all comoe instinctively. |Powers: Re-fuelling - fuel slowly refills magically in his tanks. It doesn't fill quickly enough for constant firing of rockets, but it does allow unlimited re-firing. Localized Zero-G field - Stage 4 and up operate as if they were in space - that is, they don't weigh anything, and float in the air if detached from the lower stages. |Equipment: ...well, he's a rocket. Each stage, below, can be separated from the next with explosive bolts. [hider=Stage 1 (Block A)] - 50,300 kN of thrust from 30 NK-15 engines arranged in two rings -Height: 30.09m -Width: 16.875m[/hider] [hider=Stage 2 (Block B)] - 14,040 kN of thrust from 8 NK-15V engines arranged in a single ring -Height: 20.46m -Width: 10.3m[/hider] [hider=Stage 3 (Block V)] - 1,610 kN of thrust from four smaller NK-21 engines in a square -Height: 11.5m -Width: 7.6m[/hider] [hider=Stage 4 (Block G)] - 400 kN of thrust from one NK-21 engine -Height: 17.19m -Width: ?[/hider] [hider=Stage 5 (Block D)] - 83.4 kN of thrust from one RD-58 engine, designed for lunar deorbiting -Height: 5.5m -Width: 4m[/hider] [hider=Stage 6 (Block E/LK Lunar Lander)][img=http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/0/0f/MondlanderLK.jpg/260px-MondlanderLK.jpg] 20kN of thrust from either one RD-858 or one RD-859 engine (one is a backup for the other), designed for lunar descent/ascent -Height: 5.2m -Width: 2.9m (5.3 with legs extended)[/hider] [hider=Stage 7 (Block I/LOK Lunar Orbiter/Return Vehicle)][img=http://www.astronautix.com/graphics/l/lokovrhd.jpg] 33.2 kN of thrust from one S5.51 engine (for return to Earth) and 4.09kN of thrust from one S5.53 engine (for lunar orbital maneuvering) -Height: 10.06m -Width: 2.9m[/hider] Stuff other than engines: -Cameras for photography and videography aboard the LOK and LK modules. -Life support systems -Couple of Orlan spacesuits -Heatshields and Parachutes -Digital guidance computer -Various comms dishes -Fuel Cells, for power, water, and Oxygen generation -Altimeter and various avionics |Other: A gradual inertness and dimming of consciousness happens, as the N1 isn't alive. It's sometimes difficult for him to remember to think. |Password: Draco Ignis
