Yay! Another European added to the meat wagon ^^

@DeepestApology Now, don't be pessimistic -- someone might survive! Really, I have the path I expect the roleplay to go already laid out (I'm not going to do much to influence that -- it's all on how you and your characters approach the situations). Under that path, everyone dies except for one. Depending on what happens, more people could survive, or everyone could be wiped out.

I guess this is as much of an experiment as it is a roleplay; I want to see how people react to a situation with their characters when given different starting information and different expectations.

@FortunesFadedI am going to have a CS. I promise. I am doing a corporal atm

@FortunesFaded Maybe a bit late, but I think we should just forego all of the sciency space bullshit in favor of a smoother and more relatable roleplay experience.

In other news, a question!

If we end up making choices that fit down the basic path you've laid out, leading to the death of all but one, will that survivor be determinant, or have they been preselected?

(no serious qualms with Gera dying, just curious)

Name: 'Skully' (Real name is Rickard Dunwich)
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Profession: Corporal
Nationality: Scottish, EU
Birth Planet: Earth
Appearance: A large, muscular man. About 6' 2 with closely cropped hair that is done in a spiked hairstyle. He has lots of tattoos up and down his arms, most of it is squad mates he has lost. He has a corporal insignia tattooed on his upper right arm, near his shoulder. he is normally seen in his battle armour while on duty, with a permanently strapped revolver (Name will be added when I know about weapons in more detail) to his side, along with a Taser. His most notable feature would be tattooed a skull on his face, giving him the name of skully. While at a battle he will wear a skull bandanna but if that is lost or taken off you can see the tattooed black eye sockets, the teeth on his lips. The sunken cheeks and temple.
Strengths:
Very Strong: His strength comes from the long hours he spends at the gym, though he isn't over muscular. He is in fit shape and can lift at least double his body weight.
Master of Arms: He is very experienced with all manner of weapons, be that a large rifle, his trusty revolver or a shock baton. He can use them all to the best of his ability, which is a pretty dang good amount. He is an excellent sharpshooter with them all and can be relied on in almost any situation.
Weaknesses:
Plagued by his lost friends: Skully has been in the army for a long time, he has seen some things that can turn milk sour. It has made him better for it. But one thing that haunts him to this day is the screams and the faces of the friends he has lost. The times when a man’s legs were blown clean off when he stepped on a mine or when a new Jarhead gets hit by a stripper machine gun and is pulled to shreds. Those are what haunt him, leading to nightmares.
Bossy and Over Confident: Given how many years he has at war, the people he has killed and the men he has lost. he believes that he is a pro at war. He inst. he will overextend his boundary's, give out commands he has no ideas if they will work. All on the idea that he knows better than everyone else. This also extends to science, though he knows nothing of science. He will pretend he knows it all to seem smart.
Personality: An overconfident son of a bitch. He is fully aware that he is good and experienced, and that will be his downfall. He is a terrible flirt, going as far as continue harassing ladies after they have made signs they don’t like him. A Bawdy man always has a rude joke or a sexualised story to tell from his years in the force and different countries. He is a heavy partyer and when he drinks he drinks hard. The only person he can’t best by a mile is the Sergeant, but even that is a close call sometimes.
History: Born in Aberdeen to a poor family, Rickard had a hard upbringing. The estate he lived on was frequented by the police and beatings were a common place. Home life was bad for him as a child, he father was a drunk womaniser who would always be out at night and his mother, besotted with sadness over her husband, was a junkie with needle and nose. He was the middle child of half brothers and sisters of whom were all trouble makers. At the first chance he had, he enlisted in the military as a rifleman following his older brothers. From there he moved up the ranks until he hit corporal. Though experienced enough for Sergeant, the men of office don’t believe him to be fit for command so have sent him on reserve missions into hells greatest depths hoping to get him killed.
Family: His mother and father died in an explosion from a car bomb and all but one of his siblings have died at war. His one sibling is Lieutenant Thomas Dunwich. The only one of them that has not died and progressed high in the ranks… Even if it’s just an office commission.

@User I don't think you're allowed to make NPC characters until FF gives us the okay.

Im not making any NPC's. I plan to use him@BurningCold

@BurningCold Perhaps, but science and space will have a pretty big impact on the plot, I promise. There will be some sort of dangerous antagonist, after all.. and this is a sci-fi RP, after all.. That's about as much of a hint as I want to give. Oh, and I'll say that I hid some clues in the Roleplay's intro on the OP.

I have a certain profession in mind who would be the survivor in a predictable run of the first act, but the way that they survive could possibly be done by any or most of the characters -- so it really isn't predetermined. Additionally, someone could live by doing something I totally didn't expect. I'm very flexible in how this develops.

@User BurningCold does have a point, I was going to announce when I would start looking for NPC characters. Ironically, though, I was going to do that tonight. So it's not too big of a deal.

But yeah -- if you have ideas for NPCs to fill the slots, I'd appreciate it. Just please don't do one for the Pilot or the Gov't Official (just yet anyway, I want to wait and see if people wish to fill those roles).

@FortunesFaded Sciency space stuff like going to Willman and coming back to find that you're older than your mom. That's the kind of stuff I meant.

Also, we can now make NPC apps?

@BurningCold OH, yeah, that shit's gone right out the window.

You may now create NPCs, my good sir.

@FortunesFadedDone

@UserThere's a lot of errors in your app, some of them make it completely impossible to understand.

"Given how many years he has at war, the people he has killed and the men he has lost. he believes that he is a pro at war. He inst. he will overextend his boundary's, give out commands he has no ideas if they will work. All on the idea that he knows better than everyone else."

For example. This whole quote above is plagued with mistakes, but the section highlighted red is the most glaring mistake.

I think FF mentioned this, but a spellchecker/grammar checker/thingy would help make it all a bit more legible.

@User BurningCold is right, there are way too many errors to totally understand the CS. The content that I was able to understand was good, though, and you just need to edit for errors and sentence structure before I can accept it. Once again, Google Docs is a great (and free) word processor with a built-in spell checker, and Microsoft Word is always an option if you already have it installed.

@FortunesFadedI have used spell checkers and grammar checkers. I used them before posting it. It diddnt tell me anything. I put it through word and then a 3rd party one. I diddnt get any flags like what you have said. Some of us are just bad with grammar and spelling.

Uh when you say humanity colonized "The Milky Way Galaxy" did you mean the solar system? because...yeah.

@Lucidnonsense I would assume so.

@User All of the errors are still there, and I hate to come across as a jerk, but saying that "Some of us are just bad with grammar and spelling." isn't really a good excuse. Proper spelling and grammar is like the bare minimum expetancy for everything past most RPs in the free section. Some of the errors look to me like you're using a phone, which contradicts your tale that you put it all through a spellchecker.

"Lieutenant Thomas Dun which."

Which could have autocorrected from Lieutenant Thomas Dunwich or something of the like. No way you yourself added a random "which" at the end of of the surname "Dun".
