[OrangeInk]

I literally can't wait for things to get going, expect Dakota to not get on with non-Armani very well...

[boomlover]

@OrangeInk even if one has a mini bar ?

[OrangeInk]

@boomlover Well, it would certainly peak her interest, however she'd just manipulate you into supplying free alcohol.

[boomlover]

@OrangeInk good enough for me !

[Firecracker_]

Alright, my character is posted. Glad to finally have it done. I really enjoy some of these apps, especially yours @OrangeInk. Really cool looking. Interesting look at the Armani.

Bio:

Some people's childhood are full of beautiful memories. Theodore's childhood was everything but that. Born in the slums of new York Theodore doesn't know his mother or his father as he was dropped of at an orphanage. This orphanage was understaffed and those who worked there where horribly underpaid. To make matters worse he was bullied constantly by almost all the other children. At one point it got so horribly bad that he contemplated suicide. Then at the age of ten. Something happened that would change his life forever. It was a cold winter morning and Theodore was called from his room. Apparently someone had come for him which didn't make any sense since he had no family. However as he walked down the stairs he saw an middle aged man in military uniform. This man named James Anderson was apparently his uncle and had decided to take him in.

This would be a new start for Theodore as James would take care of him as his own son. He took him to his home in Texas where he was given proper schooling, clothes and all the other thing Theodore could have dreamed of when he still lived in the Orphanage. But best of all was that he finally had a family he loved. James and Theodore quickly gained a strong bond that only a father and son could have. They would always go camping every month. Where James learned him how to fish. Then at the age of 18 Theodore would walk the same path like his uncle when he decided to join the navy of the Roslin Federation. In the two years he worked there before the three day war. He specialized himself in the flying of large class ships. In which he quickly prove his skill becoming the top of his class. And was to be assigned to the battleship The RLF Invincible. Which his uncle commanded. Then the Three day war happened. The first two days of the war where just a goddamn blur. But The battle against the Devastators above the planet of Mars still burns into his mind like a passion. A nightmare he cannot escape, and dreams every night.

As they arrived inside Mars's orbit a flurry of SOS signals filled the com's and it soon made sens as they saw the slaughter before them. Most of the stations orbiting Mars where destroyed and where crashing on the planets surface. For a moment the entire bridge was silent the only sound where the cries of those dying on the comms . The martian fleet was doing it's best to defend the planet but it was slowly getting pounded to mush. The main line had already been crushed and the Devastators seemed to be doing a clean up duty. Then the order was given and the fleet opened fire. The cannons roared as hot molten slag fired. The ship was shaking to its very core. And yet the ship remained eerily silent. There was a mix of anger and sadness so strong no words could be uttered expect the harsh commands of James. Then the missiles left there bays bringing there deadly payload towards The enemy. But none ever hit home as the enemy ships fired there lasers. The slag had hit home pounding on the enemy hull with barely any effect. Then a command was given from the admiral." All ships follow my lead, Show no mercy." There wasn't a single emotion in those words the rage deeply buried within him. And yet they all felt it.

The devastators finally drew there attention on them and opened fire. There lasers burning right through the hulls of the ships they hit, Like it was wet paper. Theodore could see the Ship beside them exploding not even one escape pod launched killing the entire crew. The closer they moved towards the devastators the more they lost. Ship after ship burned away its crew dying in anguish. This wasn't a battle but a never ending slaughter. By the time The enemy fleet had entered close range weapon fire the fleet had left a trail of destruction behind itself. Close range lasers began to fire doing some damage to the hull of the enemy vessels. Fighter craft launched into the void unleashing what ever projectile they had on the enemy. Slowly but certain The enemy started to loose ship after ship exploding under the never ending hail of fire. But that hail became smaller and smaller as they lost ship after ship way faster than the enemy.

Then one of the Devastators fired at the Invincible sending a laser straight through her nearly hitting the bridge and sending Theodore into unconsciousness. When he awoke he heard nothing as an eerily silence had fallen over the bridge. But as he turned around he quickly realized why. The ceiling had collapsed crushing everyone expect him. He then realized he didn't see his uncle and frantically started puling away part of the collapsed Ceiling. He then found his Uncle. His Torso was utterly crushed with some of the ribs sticking out. And a single metal pipe ran though his neck. But his eyes still had some live left in them and they moved to look into those of Theodore. And with one single sigh of relive the eyes went lifeless and James died. Theodore stood still. Not being able to move. Tears rolled over his face but he did not cry. They had killed the one man in this world that had cared for him. A man that had raised him. But now they would feel his pain. Now they would cower before his rage! He turned around walked towards his controls and looked at the ships mainframe. The main reactor was about to overload and is he was fast enough he could crash the ship into the enemy before it exploded. So he throttled the engines at maximum speed and steered it towards the enemy ship Quickly giving Theodore quickly gave command to abandon ship as the ships reactor would soon overload. The ship screamed under the pressure, Almost tearing itself apart And yet it held firm even when it got hit again she held together to fulfill her act of vengeance. As they neared the ship which had killed his father Theodore left the bridge running towards one of the escape pods. He launched seeing the ship he had flown with for months bury itself into the Devastator tearing open it hull and destroying it. The explosion that followed knocked him unconscious. the last thing he saw was Mars burning under alien fire.

After this Theodore would be rescued by a destroyer and be transported towards earth where his wounds would be healed. After enough healing he was given the medal of honor. But this didn't really matter to Theodore considering it would not give him his uncle left. For six long years he would command a reaper Cruiser class fighting his alcohol problems in the progress. never really getting over the death of his uncle. However when he returned from a patrol he received a message from high command. Telling him that he was needed at command immediately. When he arrived he was briefed about project Genesis and that he was ordered to become one of the pilots of the arks. He learned the ins and outs of her controls. Studied her frame and how much punishment he could take. And he also learned how to fly the other ships that would join the ark in case the need arises. Now its time to leave sol behind. And to save humanity for extinction.

I AM DONE !!! I do hope it is bearable :)

[OrangeInk]

An alcoholic Pilot with no respect for command? Would that really be allowed..? This is funded by the military after-all and they would be putting a billion dollar incredibly important last chance for humanity space ship in his hands.

[boomlover]

@OrangeInk Yeah that was my only main fear. I also might have gone a bit too far here and there. But i like to gamble with my chara sheets.

@OrangeInk

Perhaps these are faults that have emerged/that are emerging with time. Though screening may try, you can't always know when one will crack.

[boomlover]

@Lo Pellegrino also the reason they could have picked him would have been this. He he already had a perfectly clean record of flying ships. He received a medal of honor which would have given him some respect among st commanders and military staff. And the main reason why i made him a alcoholic was because after the battle of mars a lot of experienced pilots had died. That and i like to create drama.

[Sep]

@OrangeInk Depends on how good he is, I'll read the sheet and come to a conclusion though that is a valid point.

@boomlover 5 points to Gryffindor for the song used though.

[Sep]

@boomlover ANOTHER FIFTY POINTS FOR ADAGIO FOR STRINGS FOR SADNESS

[boomlover]

@Sep the home world one or the theme song one?

[boomlover]

@Sep HAHAHA I FUCKING KNEW THAT WOULD WORK !!!!! kharak is burning isnt it mate ?

[Sep]

@boomlover I would say that the others do have a point, tone down the alcoholism. Have him still serving in the military prior to his enlistment in Genesis Protocol. The whole doesn't follow command very well is alright, because from what I can tell he hasn't really served under anyone since his uncle died. A way to keep this would be for him to have his own (small) command. I mean they're not going to have a pilot who may fly them into an asteroid, the command crew and the heads of various departments are going to be the most heavily scrutinized people on the planet.

On that note @OrangeInk fun fact, in being an officer you get to wear a swanky black uniform.

I literally can't wait for things to get going

@OrangeInk

Neither can I.

[Heat]

Am home now, posted my sheet over yonder @Sep.

[boomlover]

@Sep huh i'm honestly surprised you didn't totally get mad over the fact that he crashed another spaceship into another ship. But im happy that its acceptable. Beside the alcohol fact that is.

[Sep]

@boomlover Depends how honest he was in his AAR (After Action Report), if it was a case of "The engines were going to explode, the order was given to evacuate" etc. it'd be fine, there'd be a problem if he went "Yeah I was pissed, decided to stick it to the Devastators but didn't give any of the surviving crew a chance to escape." Then your military career would have come to an end.

[OrangeInk]

@Sep Hope this is alright, but she will be wearing an integrated suit possibly built into or under her uniform, this allows interfacing with her prosthetic arm's holographic technology so it can track her body movements.

[boomlover]

@Sep Id think he would have given them time to evacuate. Also was there anything good about the chara sheet? I wanna hear this because i want to know the things i did right. Considering this is kinda practice for me because i usually don't join advanced roll plays.
