I like Ryder, although by the time she was born, the EC would have already been democratic. It's my fault for saying "several decades," but I had 30-40 years in mind. But the rest of her backstory is good and can be kept under a different motive.

Edward's FRAME is fine, but I'd like to ask if you can embellish your character sheet. It's fine if you'd like him to be a more mysterious character or have a foggy past, but I'd like some more detail and thought as to what sort of person he is and how he came to be where he is now; especially since we're in Advanced.

No worries; since you mentioned wanting to play a vet/someone with experience, missing the evaluation mission isn't a big deal. You'll be gone on an errand or some personal time!

Everyone:
I'm writing up the first IC post and you can get to posting today! Everyone will be gathered in a conference room on the [i]Samigina[/i] and Bentz will go over the evaluation. Immediately after, you're free to make introductions to each other and get your machines ready for the op.
