I loathed missed the old days _when BBCode ^of the Really missed abusing it <3 though I think I've grown out of it, it's kinda of an eyesore

I somehow find it appropriate that your post, of all things, has taken us onto our second page xD (at least, according to my setup anyway)

Same here! Always a pleasure, Blade :3

OKAY! The first post in the IC has been edited to be the first actual in-character game post. I started much the same a I did in the original Thunderbolt Black: With a bang! The base is under attack, and you may have your characters either:

• A) Be on the base and waiting for the briefing, and so be scrambled into the air
• B) Be airborne on their way to the base, and be directed to join the air defence effort

Either way, have them reply to Scott's message, and once I get a round of replies, I'll get us into the furball, and from there into the bigger plot. I thought a big exciting opening would be good - it gets the pace going from the start, and we all get to strut our stuff! I imagine this being like the big 'pre-credits sequence' in a TV show or a movie. Some action at the start to draw the viewer/player in, and then a bit of working out what's happening and some associated drama, before the next exciting sequence.

I'll be in group B. Kat's on her way and hears possible ground enemies are in-bound, and seeing as her plane's built just to counter that, responds. But right now, I need sleep. So my post'll be arriving in about twelve to fifteen hours.

^ ill probably join you in the air group

Kat's on her way and hears possible ground enemies are in-bound, and seeing as her plane's built just to counter that, responds.

My plane is primarily ground attack also. I might edit the post to have a little more info on what there is to tackle in terms of the hostiles, as it's a little vague. Also, if everyone can actually speak to Scott when they turn up, rather than just diving straight in, that would be super.

Posteded! If there's anything wrong with my post, I am more than willing to adjust it. <3

LOL, I've literally just finished editing the OP, so you might need to check it - I haven't seen your post yet, you must've done it while I was in the editor. Bad timing on both our parts, haha.

Edited. ^_^

Ta very much, haha. I'll give Machine and Urukhai a chance to post before I get a reply up myself. Good intro post though!

Any room for one more?

Certainly is - as you can see, we've only just started. One thing I will say - this is a game that's intended to run for the long term. There will be quiet moments and it will be as heavy on the character interaction and plotting as it will be on the action. It's not going to be constant flying and blowing things up all the time. So, if you think you're likely to get bored and drop out, then you might want to think about that before joining. Not trying to put you off, but just trying to avoid players who join, and then make only one or two posts before dropping out. I've had that happen far, far too often. If that all sounds good to you otherwise though, read the OOC intro, get a character up, and get involved. I'll be posting a few more bits and pieces of OOC info throughout the game to add to the background too.

I'm still around myself, just a rather quiet lingering type. Unless I say that I'm out/going to be missing for a bit, I'm still here... Being that odd chittering creature who lurks in the rafters and steals all the food when nobody's looking

He's not quick to judge people by their failures or problems, he's had more then his fair share of them. Humble, he is very humble, taking any praise with subdued thanks and never asks for what he knows he can't get. Even though he us willing to listen to advice that's not saying he will act on it, if it has something to do with his lifestyle he gets really defensive. Doesn't like reflecting on the past, he is usually tight lipped about and doesn't ask others about theirs. He's not really a problem solver, more of a head scratcher, he might give useful bits and bobs sometimes but otherwise he's not the sharpest knife in the jugglers act, just an average Joe.

Mmmso, I posted. I hope it is alright that I've hit two targets, I left it open for Blade to decide if incapacitated=destroyed/nonfunctional.

Voltus, your character looks good so far, but could you please post them in the characters tab, even as a WIP Machine, your post was fine - I'll reply to it, and the others also, once Urukhai has a post up too. Though, if Voltus and Phoenix get characters finished and posts in shortly, then I'll get one up after that.

Will post after work

No problems - please don't feel like I'm rushing you though. I was just stating how/when I intend to move things on. Oh, and for future reference (although Esailia and MachineSoul will know this from having played in games run by me before) THERE IS NO POSTING ORDER. I find posting orders unnecessarily slow down play/posting if we have to wait for people.

so it did delete eveything i had written... yay so post will be very soon
