I'd be honored to command this in your absence

Well if I understood this page right and radar is still open I'll take it :P
I just have a few questions about it if the spot is open so I know how to make the character

Yup, Radar is opn.
Fire away Tank, I would be glad to answer them for you.

Is the technology full blown futuristic like Star Trek or does it have a retro feel like BSG? Because when I think of radar I think of The Hunt for Red October, and I'm not sure if it's like submarine radar warfare or if it's just like anything within 10km we can see on a screen.

And I promise I'll minimize the Star Wars references :D

Well I wa thinking of it as a futuristic type light/Energy passive scanner where it picks up incoming energy signals and light. Then there is the "Ping" scanner that manually sends out a signal that will reflect and be read as a blip on the radar. The range would be somewhere like 20 to 30 miles, and that might seem like a lot but this is space.

So Stryder I want you to be Co-GM here as I will be on less. I will share the plot stuff and all those goodies with you shortly.

Coolio

"You might think the trip down to the alchemist is long, but thats just peanuts to space."
Alright so sort of like a futuristic submarine kindve thing. Just think BSG kinda?

Sure I'm guessing, Mars is colonized so the tech has to be pretty good

Not only Mars but entire other systems. Time Relativity is thrown out (and honestly doesn't make sense) to allow for travel between systems. Tho such journeys are not made very often. Only for large shipments and war really.

Ah, I see

Kay, this is it peeps, on Monday this thing starts, hopefully. I am shooting for that but it may be later for reasons. I have been cooing up the intro and plan on writing it down and proofing it tomorrow after I get my permit and take a test or two. In the mean time lets get a sound off of who is still paying attention!

I'll try to get my CS posted when I get home this afternoon.

Okay, don't feel rushed for the intro post cuz I don't know how fast I will be able to post after getting it up. Also Nathaniel Flint's Bio may be up tomorrow.

I am not paying attention! That's how I got here.

Armor minus the helmet

Capable of shooting scattered bursts of energy in the form of plasma. A built in shock absorber allows it to be used by more common of men instead of the manliest around. Not something you want to be in front of.

Bio: Clyde was raised on a suppressed settlement in the backwaters of FoS controlled space. The settlement was taxed mercilessly to pay for the "protection" the FoS gave them, which was nothing more than a band of drunken sailors with nothing more than a worn down, out of date cruiser. This bankrupting defense team was not able to protect the colony once from the several raider attacks made during Clyde's childhood. He was raised with a hatred for the FoS, and was determined to make them pay for their actions. He planned on doing this by using their resources against them.

And that he did... sort of. Upon being old enough to register, Clyde managed to fake his way into the FoS's military academy. Upon completing his basic training he went on to school in Sound and Radar Operations. He had been fascinated with this technology since he was a kid and managed to track the run-down cruiser orbiting his home planet. After graduating he was assigned to the FSS Vanguard, assigned to hunting the pirates working against the FoS. On their third encounter with pirates, the head radar man was killed, and Clyde got a promotion.

The next few weeks were quiet, but Clyde was searching for a ship willing to help him out. Eventually he had managed to find a very, very faint sound coming from what had to be a pirate ship. He pinged their ship one single time, followed by a message containing the schematics of the Vanguard and the coordinates of their current location. Attached to that message was a single request: To get Clyde off of the damned ship and fighting against the FoS. Sure enough, the pirates, led by none other than the notorious Nathaniel Flint, arrived and honored Clyde's request. After boarding the ship, a 'rescue' team went to find Clyde and another went off to plant charges on the ship. Upon returning to the Void Star they detonated the charges, leaving nothing but scrap from the FSS Vanguard. After meeting the man known as Star Reaper, Clyde was accepted into the crew due to his offering of the FSS Vanguard and Clyde's detecting of the Void Star in the first place.

Hmmm, I like this idea.

Looks nice, but I can't view the "face, build, but not the bird" pic. It just brings me to a pintrest page of all kinds of pictures.
