Here's my app now, so people don't waste their time making a co-pilot. I did keep my history quite brief, far shorter than I've ever made it before.

@BurningCold You're accepted! Congratulations, Gera is literally the first character in the Roleplay (I haven't even made my character yet).

By the way, here's the OOC. BurningCold, Feel free to plop your character in a separate post in the Characters section.

Oh, Edit: Because I always forget to say something. Enjoy the recently updated Timeline section of the opening post -- hopefully that will give a rough historical framework for everyone to work with. My next update will include the nation descriptions and tech explanations, and should be coming out tomorrow. Or tonight, if I can find the time.

I'd like to know if the pilot is merely an helmsman or something more. To be clear, is it a role similar to the one Jeff Moreou from Mass Effect held on board of the Normandy?

@DeepestApology Good question! Also, points for making a Mass Effect reference.

The Pilot is the helmsman, as well as the commander of the expedition while they are on the ship. So they're in charge, until the group steps foot on solid ground at the Willman Lab. They are the direct superior to all of the ship's crew, and indirectly in charge of those tagging along on the expedition because they're riding in his/her ship. So really, the Pilot will be a combination of Jeff and Shepard's roles. Except as soon as they step foot off the ship, he doesn't really have any direct authority over any soldiers or scientists who were on board.

The captain of the expedition is the Sergeant tasked with bringing his fireteam to the Willman to investigate. Essentially, once the group sets foot at the Willman, the Sergeant takes over authority from the Pilot (at least for everyone who isn't the ship's crew).

Oh god. All right then, that's not the right role for me! Never been a big fan of dictating the right orders and taking all possible responsabilities in front of a martial court. Assumed we survive, of course.

@DeepestApology That's fair! Although it should be noted that the characters will only be on the ship for, like, 5% of the roleplay. Still, the Pilot will have to be looking out for the welfare of their crew (the co-pilot, quartermaster, engineers, etc) for the entirety.

Since we are talking about the crew roles, can you give me a bit of insight on what are the duties of the quartermaster or the navigator?

The quartermaster would be responsible for maintaining and distributing food and supplies. They're also the person who resolves onboard disagreements and arguments, unless it's serious enough to go to the Pilot/Captain. So a character who was a quartermaster would probably be charismatic and organized.

The navigator is someone with a detailed knowledge of hyperspace travel and the layout of the immediate universe. A navigator would have had to of gone to college for years and would be highly knowledgable and intelligent.
