IC Voidhawk Advertisement:
"The Farseers Guild has finally revealed their great project! They are sending a state-of-the-art craft out into the depths of the universe to explore and discover. The Guild wishes to send a crew into the depths of space to discover new life, document new societies, and study new phenomena. The IC Voidhawk is the last of the independently produced starcraft capable of reaching FTL speeds, now that the Collective has assumed control of all interstellar production. Unfortunately, this government muzzle on interstellar travel means that the Guild is lacking in the crew department, so they need YOUR help. The Guild needs 5-8 people willing to leave all the know and love here in the Collective Systems. Preferably, all applicants should vary in their skills, and variation in background would be excellent also. No prior education is required, but don't expect to get picked for one of the Scientist slots if you don't have a diploma! The Guild looks forward to learning about our greater Universe. Apply today!"

and Finally, CS basics:


Post your sheet in OOC to have me review it first, and then move it to Characters after I approve it.

Roster:
Captain: @RedLeather
Scientists: @Ellion (need 1-2 more)
Protectors: ? (Need 1-2 more)
Doctor @RumikoOhara
Diplomat @Algorhythm (Disappeared, will take replacements)
Linguist/Xenoculturalist (need 1)

That's all for now. Good luck!

I'll try to get a character up tonight. And if the protectors are a big need, I could make another character to fill that role

@Ellion Sounds good. It would be great if you made a second character, but I can make the Protectors NPC's if worst comes to worst, or we can hope somebody new joins and snags a spot.

@RumikoOhara@Algorhythm@Tojin
Dunno if you noticed but this is up

interested, and will fill a slot of a protector. :) @RedLeatheri'll probably message you soon and ask some questions regarding my CS and such!

I am working on a cs I swear....

@tatszico Awesome! Looking forward to it.
@Ellion It's all good man, i'm a patient guy.

@RedLeather The first time I saw your username, I thought it said Redleader and I choose to continue to believe it is.

Edit: The Protectors are the people who...protect the ship, right? With guns and stuff? In case things get up close and personal?

Character Name: Shelli "Shell" Bovle
Age: 29
Homeworld: Proxima B, Alpha Centauri system
Position onboard the Voidhawk: Protector
Appearance: A slender, strong-framed woman of Asian descent, (her ancestors can be traced back to South Korea). She has a thick jaw-line, a large, broad nose and small, thin brown eyes that match her olive skin color. Her tied-up ponytail is a jet-black, matching her line eyebrows that naturally slope downwards towards her the center of her face. She's tall and long limbed. Her torso, shoulders, and thighs are covered in colorful tattoos, but it's all hidden by her apparel.
Strengths:
Steady: Shelli doesn't panic under stress.
Determined:Following orders is a specialty of hers, and those she serves under don't need to worry about her not following through.
Skilled: Shelli is good at what she does.
Situational Awareness: Being aware of her surroundings is a necessity when it comes to Protector work, and she is. It's harder than normal to get the complete jump on Shelli.

Weaknesses:
Unquestioning: Shelli does what she's told, even if it isn't the right call.
"Tough": In order to appear strong and capable, Shelli often adopts a mean, self-serving persona.
Unenlightened: She has a very limited skill-set outside of combat related situations.
Aggressive: Merciful and Sparing are not words that can be applied to Shelli. Even when the victory is clearly hers, Shelli has problems knowing when to stop.

Bio:
Born into a agricultural family on a colony in the Alpha Centauri system, the places where Shelli grew up and went to school were riddled in crime. Her parents and younger sister were stolen from and put into danger by punks and low-lives frequently, and her sister was bullied in school. Shelli could stand up for herself, but some weren't so fortunate to have be naturally good at smashing people with their fists. After a series of run-in's with crime, at the age of eighteen Shelli decided to join the underfunded and uncaring police force of her colony.

It was tough work, almost single handedly reforming a lax and corrupt police force, but as time went on her colleagues began to listen to what she was saying. More officers were recruited, more training was done, and crime began to drop. Unfortunately, Shelli wasn't fit for her own reforms. Her...unorthodox methods for dealing with criminals when unchecked got her into trouble, along with her torso being covered in tattoos with obscure and strange meanings known only to her, she was ironically kicked off the force after a decade of service.

She herself realized that she wasn't cut out for law work, but she was still skilled in combat and the protection of others. So, she became a mercenary, or a free lancer for a while. She made a name for herself of being reliable and relatively low cost. Not only that, but she leaned towards the legal side as well, which meant people who were more reluctant to hire rough-n-tumble mercs had smaller reservations hiring her. She did a few bodyguard contracts, and has had to put a bullet into more than one living thing before and has no reservations about doing it some more.

Why does your Character want to venture with the Voidhawk?: Not many other mercenaries and bodyguards were interested in the nature of the cosmos, and fewer still wanted to be hired by a bunch of "space hippies" or something. But when the Farseer's Guild contacted her, she had no reservations of signing up. It was clean work, and maybe she needed a break from sleazy alleyways and sketchy silhouettes.

@Stekkmen Lol, the other protector I was making had a similar thing going on, but I'll change her a bit.

@Ellion
hahaha, what a coincidence

*puts away thought stealing orb*

@Stekkmen Yes, Protectors are soldiers who work on the ship. You'll probably spend your time manning some of the easier-to-use weapons, and going on ground expeditions to planets we come across. Otherwise, your CS looks good to me, I'd just note the Farseers Guild doesn't really reach out (which is why it surprised Milos so much), but there was an advertisement and an application that could be submitted.

@RedLeather
Oh, okay. Thanks for accepting. I'll edit my CS.

Character Name: Dr. York Bishop

Age: 25

Homeworld: Asteroid B612

Position onboard the Voidhawk: Biochemical Engineer
Appearance: Fairly average as far as humans go. It is impossible to tell where exactly she came from on Earth as her family wasn't the type that kept track overly well. She has a fairly pale completion from lack of natural light and the UV ray replacement was not wasted on things such as 'tanning'. She has short curly brown hair, pulled back in a headband...or a pair of goggles...or electrical tape a time or two. Her eyes are dark brown, nearly black, giving her a surpised 'doe like' look when not expressing strong emotion.

Strengths:
Highly Intelligent A mixture of natural born intellect, a desperation to not end up like her parents and little else to spend her time on, lead York to get three doctorates by the time she was 25. The first one was in biology, then chemistry and finally applied astromechanics.

High Motivation York can get a on a one track mindset and will attack a problem with everything she has.

Highly Open to the Possibilities York is always open to impossible ideas until she can either prove or disprove them herself, no matter how farfetched they might be.

Weaknesses:
Doesn't always follow Orders York will always follow her interests, despite what her orders might be. She doesn't go into something planning to be insubordinate. It is just a byproduct.

Does Things 'For the Science' There was an ancient story of a inventor who created a screaming robot. When asked why, he had no answer. It is highly theorized that she is a decedent of this man.

Other Important Personality Traits:
Bio:
York grew up where there was no life. Nothing grew wild, nothing existed just to be alive. Everything had a purpose, everything had a use.

York was born on the Asteroid Colony B612. It was a brown place, where everyone typically lived deep in the pressurized caves of deep below the surface. It was used primarily as a refueling and supply outpost for the government. Despite it being an area of high traffic and high profit, most of the people who lived there did so simply. There was not much space for luxurious such as pets or flower or any non-edible plants. Even though they did grow some food, most of what they ate was imported and dehydrated with fresh fruits and vegetables being a luxury.

Children who were born on the asteroid were born to become future workers bees. School started at 2 1/2 and, without the traditional harvest season culture, went all year round, six days a week, with the seventh being used to instill community service. It wasn't that bad because there wasn't anything else to do. Outside of the 'school' the astroid set aside zero space for children. 'Houses' were non-lit coves that were used only for sleeping. There was no communal 'family areas' outside of the rec and feeding areas.

Everyone knew that there were other ways of living out there, but most never wanted to leave. The food wasn't great on the asteroid, but nobody was hungry. The was little exposure to the outside world, so very few illnesses and all ailments were treated in a quick and efficient manor. Education was highly valued and most people had doctorates in at least one field. Everyone was equal, everyone got their fair share. There was no crime as there was no privacy. It was safe and it was also what everyone really knew.

York wasn't particularly odd, with little else to occupy their time, most children dedicated their time to study and mental exploration. What did make York stand out a little more, was her obsession with life. Earth held most of her attention and its abundance of trees and life. It broke her heart to hear that the wonderful world depicted in her book was a dead and ugly as the home she lived in now.

Although York obsessed with a world filled with life, she never considered moving. Figuring that if she left, she'd only find disappointment once she saw it. But when the call came out for people to join the Voidhawk, she tossed her application in, figuring there was no way she'd be selected. Yet she was. Figuring she could always come home if she hated it, York went aboard.

Why does your Character want to venture with the Voidhawk?: If you asked her, she wants to find a whale.

There is my scientist, I'll work on a protector a bit later.

@Ellion Looks good, i'd just ask you to adjust the formatting a bit so it looks cleaner. Bold the headers (name, age etc.) and delete things you didn't fill out (Other traits). After you do that you can move it to the Characters tab.

@RedLeather Okie dokie boss

Unfortunately, I'm leaving for an anniversary party in a few minutes, but once I come back, I'll see about getting a sheet up!

Just going to leave this here so that people know that I'm making a CS sheet. I'll probably make a scientist, unless anything else is needed.

@RedLeather Do you still need me to make a protector and/or anything else?
