Grief almost sounds like a villain xD Also, there's not a lot of details on the actual capabilities and limitations of things, like how big, whether or not he can control a 'range' or only 'tiny or huge', or details on the other bits. I don't need like, strick precision details, and I can enjoy some things being revealed IC, but too much vagueness leaves too much to the wonder of how far it could actually stretch when finally 'used'... you also left out his actual height XD
also, I mentioned using Hiders so images don't clutter things up XD
Anyway, off to bed! I'll try to drop my own CS tommorrow somewhere amidst the work that's waiting for me.

Well yes, normally Grief is a villain in my main series. However I try to make my main story really morally grey so in it you have villains fighting other villains, with themes of warfare like in WW1 and WW2. I would call Grief a villain protagonist. I see, well I can fix that. The thing is I never really used him as a pony before, but he has those extra details in his Mobian form. I'll try to fix that soon. As for height, I need to look that up for MLP characters.
I see well um, I don't really know how to use a header yet. ^^'

Alright, I'll try to fix this.
Pffft! Sounds like he could easily end up as an antag in the early stages XD or an anti-hero... I'll see what everyone else thinks of him XD I'll look at any changes later when I'm done for the day.
Also, to my knowledge, Through elaborate application of 'way too much free time XD' people have determined that the average heights of ponies in the shower are 3.5 feet for females, and 4~feet for males.

Yeah, often Grief is meant to be a nuisance or a tier one villain. Still, he's not to be underestimated. In the story he's actually an anti-villain, or a bad guy with some decent principles in him. Alright, I can change things if need be to suit the plot as well.
I see, well he's also a kid so I made him shorter. (The word is stud for a child pony, right?)

uhhhhh... No! XD young ponies are called foals usually, or colts/fillies depending on gender.
Name: Sergeant Michael Carver Species: Human Age: 28
Source: StarCraft
Appearance Description: His suit is around eight feet tall in height. It is white, with a UED insignia located on the chest piece. It's covered in scratches and other marks, and generally looks well-worn.
Personality: His experiences in war have given him a grim outlook on life. He has a strong sense of loyalty, and is unlikely to betray his friends, or his ideals. He would rather die with dignity, than give up and betray what he stands for. As such, he is very patriotic towards the UED, and supports their ideals.
Backstory: Born in the slums of the Confederate capitol world of Tarsonis, Michael had a rough childhood. His family was poor, and he would often steal to make ends meet. Eventually, he was caught by the police. Due to the need for more soldiers, he was "resocialized" and sent to join the Confederate Marine Corps. Deployed to guard Tarsonis, he was there when it fell to the Zerg, an experience that has haunted him since. He was rescued by Jim Raynor and his men, who informed him that Arcturus Mengsk, leader of the Sons of Korhal rebel group, was responsible for drawing the Zerg to the planet.
He joined a group called the Confederate Resistance Forces, a group dedicated to fighting Mengsk and his new government, the Terran Dominion. When the United Earth Directorate entered the sector, intent on retaking the dissident colonies, his group joined them in order to help the UED in their war against the Dominion. Michael served with distinction in many battles, earning the rank of Sergeant. While the UED came close to conquering the sector, they were eventually defeated. In the years since, Michael and other UED remnants have been in hiding, waiting for another expeditionary force to arrive from Earth.

Evenin peepes! I'm in the process of reading the new CSes and touching up my own here, but an idea came to me while I was thinking about things... in particular the 'back-stories' and 'crashing first-contact' plot device, as well as the general way this psuedo multi-verse functions >3>
Originally, I'd been thinking of one ship crashing that'd need fixing to progress to other worlds... but what do you guys think of different ships from relevant character's settings crashing... granted, it would mean some additional separation when starting, but then, they could also need to cannibalize eachother's ships to fix up something that would work again, given the lack of such technology on the world they're crashing in :D
I have a few ways, with that idea, that I could handle introducing the characters to the wider-verse between their various world's. one being friendly, and the other hostile XD
Ahhh, interesting, a UED era marine >3> Just out of curiosity, have you played Star-craft 2? >3> I find myself curious why you went with an older era marine. I mostly wonder on the difference in their power armors over the time-periods.
That said, he seems fine to me :D It oughta be funny to see him encounter changelings >3>... given that I tend to operate my Changelings as a bit 'zergy', heheh.
Ahhhh, weapon over-heat... Those were the days!... I remember when I figured out how to mod my weapon to pretty much never over-heat and just keep laying on the daka XD
Anyway, he looks fine too :D
Aaaand, I shall go finish up mine, and I should have the OOC organized and up sometime tommorrow, hopefully the last couple who showed interested pop up again soon, it's always a bit sad when there's a lot of attention in the first day, but activity dies off after that D:
I have played StarCraft 2. I chose an older era marine because 1. I like the story of the first StarCraft more than StarCraft 2, and 2. because I like the original design of the Marine armor. Also because the UED are cool. The time period he's from is the time between StarCraft 1 and 2.
I do like the idea of separate ships from separate universes crashing, and everyone being forced to cobble together some sort of abomination of a ship from the wrecks. Will there be NPC's onboard the ships that the players will control? I'm thinking of it being set up so that each player has a group of NPC's they order around, basically making each player their own little faction.

Ahhh, interesting to know... it's been so long that I don't remember much about the UED aside from Destroying them as the Zerg... and Alexei is one of my favorite commanders in Starcraft 2's co-op mode :D Maybe I'm just too into the over-engineered detailed stuff from the second one XD
That's not a bad idea, I was thinking something along those lines... granted, we 'are' talking crashes, it's entirely probable half those crews get kinda wrecked from the crash, poor buggers.
I agree, it's likely that a good portion of the crews would be dead. But there would still be enough people to work together. Especially since the UED ship would have SCV's, which would help a lot. For how they got there, I was imagining that each ship had some sort of FTL-related mishap (for example, I was thinking of having the UED ship enter an emergency FTL jump with no coordinates to escape from some Dominion ships that were chasing them). The crews and the locals could have all sorts of interactions, too. I'd imagine Twilight would love to check out all the fancy new technology.

I was imagining something not too different, though likely with some comically timed inter-universal phenomenon that actually results in their FTL jump being directed there... heavens though, if it's an FTL crash, we got some real damage coming XD hahah.
This would also be a good excuse for me to throw in a little force of locals to explore with them 'on behalf of the crown' to fill out the crew a bit more. [Pony SCV incoming! MUWAHAHAHAHAH!]
Sounds like a good idea to me! Another idea I had is that we could have a "character sheet" of sorts for the ships. Stuff like size, history, type of FTL, crew, how many crew are still alive, equipment on board and what survived, stuff like that. Alternatively, we could just describe it in the RP.
I was thinking of something similar my group is trying to escape the reaper threat and when they use the local relay something happens and sends them into pony (crash)land with no fuel. Also @Shoryu since this is kinda sorta (but not really) based off of sunless sea/ sunless sky are you going to have other weird phenomena happen?

Oh absolutely! :D It might not be very prevalent in the beginning, since we're not 'out there'. The weirdest stuff will likely be discovered out in the big space between World-fragments... I should actually come up with a name for it that fits the setting... Like 'The Infinite Rift' or 'The Ztar Zea' pr 'World Zea' [cause for some reason they replace S's with Z's in names XD]
But yes, strange events and creatures should be quite common out there >w> there's liable to be periods of interaction while in transit as well. And of course as the RP progresses there will be some escalation of strangeness >w>
