Cello, I made a thing, here it is. I also added some information to the IC. Some of it is just paraphrased things we already discussed but I did make a couple additional log pieces that I'd love y'alls opinion on. I had an idea on how we could even the field and represent power armor. I am basically thinking spartan style armor minus all the plot armor.

Also the title is totally a place holder I suck at titles yo, suggestions welcome.

I am not good with naming stuff so I will pass for now and when will there be a cs template?

Hi.

Working through the weekend and I'll have more free time by Monday.

Kind of dealing with a lot, it's kinda annoying. I didn't want this to be something that I stressed out about so we're just gonna deviate to plan B and focus on the writing. We can workshop out details as they come up. I'll make a CS post with some really really basic shit and we can include as much or as little preferred and focus on how they come out in writing itself.

I'm gonna spend today and tomorrow thinking up how the initial scenes are gonna start and hopefully Monday I can just sit down and blitz out a nice little starter.

Relevant details for character purposes. All of these could be discussed at length if you want to try something different.
4 man squad, recently put together to replace a previous squad that was completely lost. No prior history with each other but previous service record with GIDM. Can make up shit about what branch or job they performed. Big fleet, one massive archology ship that houses a civilian populace, multiple cargo and engineering frigates, handful of assault carriers and likewise support ships. Nomadic fleet so almost completely self sustainable. GIDM military service is mandatory conscription at the age of 16 with the option to continue service or leave active duty after 5 years. Nobody discharges, everyone is technically reserve, very militaristic society.

House Balam has been a fleet neighbor for the last 10 years or so, the fleet has been stationed in or around their sector for most of that time. Could feasibly see an OC coming from Balam planets as part of a recruitment drive, if someone was interested in that.

Unless someone specifically wants to play a squad leader role I'll fill those shoes, although I'm happy to let someone else spin their hand at it if they've got a good OC for it.

3 other positions, they can be focused like medic, gunner, etc, or they can be generalized however you guys prefer.

Also if anyone would like to use discord I am open to making a small group chat there for plotting purposes. It's a little more accessible for me is why I mention it.

If I think of anymore details I shall mention them as time allows.

First mission details, Galaga has come under fierce attack from an unknown enemy. Their planetwide defenses were rapidly overwhelmed and a large part of the planets reserve military unit already lost. Galaga is lost, unfortunately a high ranking member of House Balam has yet to evacuate the capital. Original extraction plans have failed and they're attempting to reach a fallback bunker. Our squad is the contingency plan, burn our way in, extract the VIP.

Oh don't feel rushed to finish up or be ready by Monday btw, I just figure it'll be easier to get a feel for things and get started with a starter written up and an idea of what we're doing.

This'ne right'ere?

Yuppers.

I added some NPC information at the bottom of the IC doc, just for reference. Plenty of flexibility for creating your own NPCs to fill in the blanks for characters. Same goes for ships, the MT Flotilla is large and comprised of many military and civilian vessels.

Alright it's Wednesday not Monday but that's cool, I wrote up a little starter to give more context and background details.

We will be taking the place of that first squad, literally replacing them. They've been reassigned, whilst the rest of the crew of the Eudora will remain the same. So Captain Morgan will be our Captain and the Eudora will be our home. Our squad will be put together and assigned to the Eudora freshly after the Eudora was reinstated. We are a handpicked squad picked by the admiral and Colonel Raleigh so let that influence your character as you wish.

Uh do you have a character sheet or something?

To be honest I don't like CSes cause I don't know how to code and they always look lame and was trying to feel out if you guys would let me get away without making one but I can throw something together. It's gonna be super basic though, just important bits.

Alternatively you could just write up a handful of paragraphs describing who your character is and what they look like.

Okay I moved some things around and also created a basic little template. Feel free to reach out if you have questions or concerns or wanna soundboard some character ideas.
