Name: Daniel Weyrich
Age: 29
Biography: Daniel Weyrich was born in the African nation of Kangama to South African parents. Daniel's father was of the entrepreneurial sort, and had become wealthy by employing the native Kangamese to mine heavy metals used in the burgeoning starship construction industry. From a very early age, Daniel was exposed to the day-to-day affairs of running a business, and his father would devote much of what little free time he had in showing young Daniel around his mining operation.

As Daniel grew older, he would venture out into the Kangamese towns and cities and encountered the crushing poverty that most of that nation's people endured. Daniel once expressed his dismay at the squalor in which most Kangamese lived and expressed his concern that it was not right to use such a destitute people for cheap labor. But Daniel's father insisted that his mining operation was in fact helping these people, for the wages he paid his mine operators were several times higher than the yearly earnings of the average Kangamese citizen. Additionally, the taxes he paid to the national and local governments helped keep this impoverished nation afloat. More entrepreneurs, Daniel's father argued, would make Kangama a wealthy nation.

When Daniel was 16, unrest came to Kangama as it did to so many Subsaharan African nations. A minority ethnic group initiated a bloody civil war against the majority-ruled government that they claimed had disenfranchised them. When the rebels stormed the capital city and executed the president along with any pro-government supporters, Daniel's father immediately arranged for the evacuation of his wife and son. His father promised to meet up with him once he had arranged to ship much of his valuable mining equipment to neighboring Angola. Daniel and his mother safely arrived in Windhoek, Namibia, but his father never left Kangama. Less than 24 hours after their helicopter evacuation, the rebels had arrived at the mine and executed Daniel's father.

Daniel was distraught by the death of his father. He fell into a depressive state and, with the large inheritance left by his father, attempted to find joy in hedonistic pleasures and vices. For the next ten years, Daniel drank and womanized around Johannesburg, South Africa. He frittered away the wealth left to his family in a futile attempt to find some meaning in life. His mother eventually disowned wayward Daniel, and cut him off from what was left of the inheritance. Daniel now had only stock portfolios left to him by his father. When the Federation's putsch occurred, those stock portfolios tanked with the rest of the market. With what remained of his father's fortune quickly becoming worthless, Daniel downed a bottle of painkillers, washed it down with a few swigs of cheap vodka, and went to sleep with no intention of ever waking up.

Daniel did wake though, in a hospital bed after a three month-long coma. Upon discharge from the hospital, he discovered that his stock portfolios had spiked in value. With a new lease on life and a fair amount of money to his name, Daniel sold his stocks and with that last remainder of his father's fortune set off to find a real purpose for his life. When he contacted his father's old mining colleagues, Daniel was tipped off about the planet SEVI-T3, and the wild rumors of that planet's minerals being a gold mine.

Knowing this, Daniel purchased for himself a one-way ticket to the planet Ember with the aim to become a successful entrepreneur like his father was. This time, however, Daniel will not let some high-minded sense of responsibility and civic duty get in the way of his success. Daniel's father tried to be fair to the Kangamese, and he saw how they repaid his father's kindness. Daniel knows now to be ruthless, and to give his clients and rivals alike no quarter.

Hello all, thank you for being patient with us while we get everything ironed out. We are just about ready to start. I am going to kick us off with the first IC post sometime tomorrow. For the time being, feel free to write up your first post if you are accepted and just hang onto it until ready to post. I figure we'll start off entering the atmosphere on our dropships, but if you want to start right when your boots hit the ground or a bit before for some characterization on board the starship, that's fine too.

Likewise, this would be a good time to contact fellow players for a collaboration post if you like doing those. Just be sure not to let it drag on like collaborative posts can easily do.

I posted my app in the character tab. There's still some stuff that needs to be filled out and some stuff that could change before the RP starts, but I'll mention any important changes. I'd love to have a fancy logo but I'm a terrible artist.

Little bit rough and ready hope it is okay. Still want to work on it a bit and clean it up feedback would be good.

Enterprise name: Nova Belt Mining

Leader name: Lucinda Novak

Enterprise bio: All four people that make up the Nova Belt Mining company have grown up on a mining station colony in the asteroid belt. Their ancestors were a poor people from Eastern European looking for a better life when opportunities in space opened up. Many of the private companies suggested it would make you rich and that conditions would improve after the first few years.

When they arrived they were optimistic for the first few years. Until later the company they worked for only increased their pay by fractional amounts and put bonus quotas ridiculously high. In the end people were able to save a bit of money but not enough to leave and start a life elsewhere bore enough to afford a comfortable life. They were stuck on this hunk of metal.

Lucinda and her friends grew up attending the makeshift school on the station. Eventually growing up to become miners with Lucinda being lucky enough to become a foreman with her high grades. This also gave her a bit more income but not enough to go back to earth. This was due to the a]fact that what they were mining were cheap base metals with most the good stuff already mined out or claimed by other companies. This lead to Lucinda gathering her friends and convincing them to sell everything and pool their savings to take a chance at making it big on Ember. The reason Lucinda is the boss is just due to her experience of being in charge plus having the most money.

Starting crew: 4 Including Leader

Lucinda Novak - (Slovenian) - Team leader and organiser she can be blunt and tuff but also very kind and caring to her loved ones. Is 5'5 with caramel like skin, fair features, black hair and green eyes.

Pavla Hristov - (Bulgarian) - Very quiet person that keeps that herself never having much to say unless its important. She sticks mainly to short or one word answers. Stands at 6'4, brown hair, large nose and pudgy face with blue eyes. Skin colour looks like she has a fairly light tan. Main job is being the teams mechanic having worked in the mining stations workshop.

Ramona Dumitru - (Romanian) - Very energetic and optimistic person always being the one cheer people up. This has come in handy when the grind on endlessly mining asteroids gets on your nerves. 5'2 with very small features like her button nose the only thing big is her large rosy cheeks and long red main of hair. In fact Romona is the only one with hair longer than shoulder length. Also has very bright blue eyes.

Vica Varga - (Hungarian) - Best way to describe her is just calling her your average drill head. She has a very tuff personality and doesn't care about much being fairly dead pan most of the time. Mining life has really taken a lot of joy out of her life. Her height is 5'3, fairly square features, wears round glasses, brown hair and very pale skin.

Start-up capital: 3000 Credits

Remaining capital: 5 Credits

Starting Equipment:
- 2 Handheld Magnetic Sensors (200)
- 1 Small Magnetic Trommel Separator (800)
- 1 Solar Recharge Station (250)
- 2 Pneumatic jackhammer (100)
- 2 Inflatable Structures (200)
- 2 UTV (200)
- 4 Tickets (1000)
- 4 Semi-automatic Rifles (120)
- 1 ATV (40)
- 4 Surveillance Cameras (40)
- 1 Razorwire spool (30)
- 1 Pistol (15)

Starting location: Would like spot 8 down from the north and 15 from the left. In the green by what I assume is a river or some body of water.

Getting through the first post right now. Just remembered that I made this and never uploaded it. Could be useful in showing where you are located without having to mark a spot on the map in paint.

Sniper rifles have not been ruled out.

Sniper rifle: 140
An older semiautomatic sniper rifle with excellent range and accuracy. Fires a standard kinetic round of large caliber. Skilled marksmen issued this particular firearm in combat report the ability to score a hit on a person at a range of 1,000 feet/305 meters. Comes with a telescoping scope with a passive infrared mode.

As for food and medicine, I have decided we will not be having to buy that. I don't want to get this RP bogged down with such small purchases. Tracking the .05 credits it costs for a banana is really worth the trouble.

I am, but I'm not quite sure how to do pricing yet.
Or how turnover will even work in this game.

As well as security and transport Carver will also help a bit with digging and surveying in his spare time. (More the company makes the more he makes.)

If he joins your company that makes 5 people so 1 share = 20%.
And an upfront fee = to sniper rifle cost :D
I know you have the money,

Deal?

@Dark Light I figured it'd be something like that. I'll take those terms and as a bonus, while he's with Selenite he can have one of the inflatable domes. It should make a better shelter than his tent.
