History:

And my character, the captain:

Name: Nicholas Stirling

Age: 48

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Position: Naval Crew, Captain of the newly-christened UESA Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny

Personality: Very strict, to-the-letter, and rule-following. He often does random inspections to ensure his crew is performing at its very best. However, he also wants to ensure his crew remains happy and ready to serve 100% of the time, and isn't above the occasional morale-boosting shore leave. He does his best to keep the crew safe, while also completing the mission required. However, one regulation he commonly breaks, is the strict restriction on lighting a combustible aboard the vessel, because he is frequently seen enjoying a Cuban cigar, both on and off-duty.

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise: Captain Stirling is a brilliant tactician, having taught at the Naval Academy at the UESA stronghold world of Orpheus IV. He's been a decisive part of several large-scale battles against various rebel forces, and is a valued captain of the UESA, which is why he was given command of the new Mayweather-Class Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny. He also excels at both ship-board weapons and navigation systems, and has been known to take over those stations in a battle, should the situation require it.

History: Nicholas was born on Earth, in the sprawling mega-city of Chicago, in the Former United States. He was often found beating up other children, not because he wanted to start trouble, but because they had been attacking younger or weaker children. This concept of defending the weak would last throughout his life, as when he was 18, a massive news report came in of an entire UESA Colony being decimated by rebels that had obtained control of a UESA Cruiser, and bombarded the planet's surface. This act is what pushed him to enlist in the Navy, where he would excel in his Academy classes. He would initially be stationed on the Carrier vessel Defiance, as a Petty Officer First Class, eventually rising to the rank of Lieutenant before being reassigned to teach Advanced Weapons and Tactics at the Naval Academy on Orpheus IV. As the rebel attacks got bolder and more devastating, Nicholas would be reassigned to ship service, first as a Commander and First Officer aboard Fleet Admiral Davis' Cruiser, the Dynasty. After proving excellent in ship command when Davis became too injured to continue during a battle, He was promoted to Captain, and assigned a new crew with a newly launched Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny.

Name: Kathy Kuznetsov
Age: 32
Gender: Female

Position: Petty Officer First Class

Personality: Kathy is a lady of few words. When she does speak, it's usually a gruff and short response. Unless if she talks about the strange inner workings of machines and computers, then she can almost talk non-stop. It's not that she dislikes or is unfriendly towards others, she just doesn't understand them so well, not like machines anyways. Machines are just so much more logical and easier to work with. Thus, she may find social interactions very taxing and will leave without apology or excusing herself. But even then, Kathy has been known to be a good and quiet listener. She may not know what to do with the information being spewed, but she will listen.
Rank or station don't impress Kathy. She more respects those who have a level head and know what they're doing. If the ship is in danger of breaking apart or she needs help at a crucial part of a repair, she Will issue commands and expect them to be followed, again, regardless of rank or station.

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise:
  • Informal then formal mechanical engineering training
  • Formal computer programming training
  • Innate creativity and resourcefulness in coming up with improvised and unorthodox fixes (MacGyver)
  • Surprisingly tremendous body and arm strength
  • MMA mix of boxing, tai chi and judo
  • Speaks English and Russian

History: Mr. Kuznetsov ran a little repair shop in Texas. Growing up, Kathy was always ordered to spend time with her father and help out. She would have absolutely hated this if not for the fact that she ended up loving the work. She even dropped out of highschool to work full time, but eventually earned her GED so she could go to college for further education.
Finding work in aerospace development and maintenance she made quite the name for herself for her efficient work and surprising effective hack fixes. She was recommended for a mechanic role on board the Convergence of Destiny and Kathy gladly accepted, since it would be a new experience and she knew her skill and knowledge would be pushed to the limit.

Sorry for taking so long after the interest check, I was having some trouble thinking of what character I'd want to play

Name: Tyrone Harvey
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Position: Marines, Private
Personality:
-Nervous if things don't go according to plan
-Obedient, never questions authority
-Friendly and easy to get along with if you can catch him while he's calm
-No ego whatsoever, willing to adapt and be a cog in the machine
-Kind of dumb when not given orders, does what he's told and does not improvise much

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise:
-He's a very good shot, excelled in marksman training
-One of the best physical specimens coming out of basic training
-Never thinks twice about an order, would charge to his death for the mission

History:
"I'd rather you come back dead than dishonored, I hope you feel the same."

That was the last thing his loving father told him before he was sent off to basic training. Tyrone came from a military family, and his house was certainly run like it. He was always pushed to be in peak physical condition, and was taught how to handle a firearm before high school. Orders in the Harvey household were always answered with a sharp "yes sir". Tyrone never got time to explore much else besides his grueling daily routine, and as a result, he never really found himself. A young interest in poetry was shut down by his father tearing all of his work up and calling him a woman. His 2 brothers were given the same treatment, and while one is younger, his older brother, Marcus, has excelled in his time in the marines, rising through the ranks through a combination of skill and nepotism. As a result of his upbringing, there was little thrown at him in basic that he couldn't handle. Behind the scenes Tyrone would be an utter wreck after even the slightest hint of failure; he dreads the thought of not living up to his father's or brother's legacy, and tarnishing the Harvey name. All he wants is to make them proud of him. When he found out his first deployment would be aboard a starship, he knew that he would finally get his chance to really begin climbing the ranks.

Name: Unit 04-B31 Smart AI Model: C0C3, Designation "Alice"
Age: Appears to be early to mid-twenties
Gender: Female

Position: Ship AI, self-proclaimed Supreme Benevolent Master Commander of the Convergence of Destiny
Personality:

"I advise you not "accidentally" to do that otherwise I might "accidentally" forget to recycle the Destiny's oxygen supply."

Speaking with a slight British accent, Alice often seems cynical and snarky to her crew and the ship she serves. Sarcasm is one her best talents and on occasion she'll taunt and act sadistically toward the human on board the ship. However, she still does deeply care about her crew and the ship despite her outward appearance and is kind at her heart when its not a ball of pure snark.

Like all AIs, she has ethics programing which prevents her from acting too rashly or doing anything considered inhuman and immoral. This also applies to the ships itself as she has the most power over it, basically being the ship itself. Things like shooting at a civilian vessel with civilian inside to kill some dangerous enemy officer inside does not go down with her too well and at which usually involve locking down weapon systems. However, like other AIs, she has a ethics nullification code known only by the ship's captain, vice-captain and chief engineer which is "the sin I take to lead to hell".

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise:

- Controls all on board systems systems like weapons, gravity, FTL and life support
- She can look through anyone's browsing history and find them via any of the ship's cameras meaning its best not to piss her off.
- Being an AI, she is very good at all types of games, she especially favors chess playing as black
- She can download herself into anything with enough storage capacity. She has her own "body" which is kept in the AI core room equipped with a short-range taser for self defense. She does not take it kindly if anyone tries to fool around with it.
- Has access to most military files except for the super classified intelligence
- Good at electronic warfare, but as she is designed as a ship AI not a EW AI, she can be outclassed by specialized systems.

History:

Like many AIs, Alice was based on a real human being at one point. However, she claims no recollection of her time as a human only remembering a point where she "kissed a guy". There isn't much to say about her as she lacks human memories and has spent most of her time either floating about in cyberspace or on board other vessel which not much happened (although she will tell a story on how she almost made a space station go nuclear after accidentally rerouting the reactor overload command to a toaster).

Name: Cleon Mantis
Age: 23
Gender: male
Appearance: His uniform is faded from years of use and not getting a newone, as he hates spending the money on the military.

Position: Marine machinegunner, corporal.

Personality: Very laid back almost all of the time. It's rare to see him overly emotional. He has a very monotone voice and likes to talk in a new age hippy sounding way (copious use of the words "man", "vibes", and anything else that sounds less than intelligent). It's not often you see him, as he is an expert sham artist and manages to fly under the radar enough to avoid hundreds of work details. He can be found in different areas, with his uniform out of regulation and his hands in his pockets. All of that aside, he is anything but irresponsible, and is a very capable marine in the field and in combat. So calm, people have accused him of substance abuse on many occasions. He likes to be called the "Rooster". His favorite song is Rooster by Alice In Chains.

Notable skills: He can out ruck any marine any day of the week. He can carry the heaviest of loadouts, and is a squad machinegunner. He is very good at avoiding work and trouble. Very cool and calm under pressure. The last combat mission be was on he could be seen smiling as he fired his machine gun into terrorists and rebels, so we know he loves his job as machine gunner.

History: He grew up working under his father, who was anot engine mechanic. He grew under his father's tutelage, and his father wanted him to become a great engineer, but Cleon had smaller ambitions in mind. He wanted to find a steady job that would give him plenty of travel and a reasonable pay check. So he chose the Marine Corp. His father hasn't forgiven him since. His mother is the only one who talks to him, plus his siblings.

Most of his siblings were more educated than him and more academically inclined. He wanted more action and travel. Of course he didn't realize all the bothersome work details he would be in store for.
Cleon has served for four years now and shows no ambitions of leaving or moving up higher as he does enjoy doing his job, unless it involves a work detail.

My Marine Command Character

Name: Jason Blackburn

Age: 37

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Position: Marine, Chief Warrant Officer 5

Personality: Jason tends to be very friendly and easy to get along with generally, but shifts to a much more serious personality when taking command. He is very careful to make sure that if he spends the lives of his troops, he does so for a legitimate tactical reason, and not some "ideological assault." He takes an insult to either the Marine Corps, or anyone in it, as an insult to his personal being, and will quickly react accordingly.

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise: He is trained in field command, squad, platoon, and battalion tactics, a skilled marksman, machine gunner, sniper, and grenadier, basic combat medicine, and a damn fine cook. He is also certified to drive the main combat jeep, MBT, and standard dropship. His personal armament preference is with a standard assault rifle and sidearm, with a few grenades on hand just in case. He takes a "lead from the front" approach to command, which has gotten him reprimanded for risk-taking more than a few times.

History: Jason grew up in the region of the former UK, in Weymouth. He was always a leader among his friends, getting them both into and out of trouble with his plans. He admired the soldiers of the UESA growing up as a child, and always dreamed of being one. This is why he enlisted as soon as he had the chance. He proved to be an exceptionally skilled soldier, and quickly gained experience to back that up. As he climbed through the ranks, he quickly showed that he was perfect for a command position, which is where he ended up. After commanding several ground engagements against rebel forces, he was assigned to the Convergence of Destiny, as the head of all ground forces aboard the vessel, and receives his orders directly from the captain, or Alice in a pinch.
