[OOC] Galaxy Of Monsters - Alien Monster Hunter RP

[6slyboy6]

@LmpkioI definetly vote for the HQ briefing

(I secretly want to repost my own IC from the last game because I think it was hilarious)

[Lmpkio]

Also I may make another instructor as we already have a lot of people. So we have Phoebe in... Iron Squad, I can make another person in say... Bronze Squad (or something, you know what I mean)

Name: Izumi M. Dare ("It's pronounced 'Dah-RAY'!")
Species: Human
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Height: 5'10" (177.7 cm)
Weight: 114 lbs (51.7 kg) ("You NEVER ask a woman that! What are you, a moron!?")
Personality: Izumi is, for lack of a better term, a tsundere. She dislikes interacting with people, but this is because she feels awkward and uncomfortable around those she's not familiar with. She covers up this fact by acting cold, snarky, and aggressive towards others. Having been raised by a single mother for the majority of her life, Dare can take care of herself quite well. In an interesting quirk, she is quite fond of animals, particularly cute ones; in fact, she's been known to go out of her way on a hunt to get a cute/young creature out of harm's way (whatever you do, NEVER bring up the "Horned Lemur Incident" when she's around; she's still so embarrassed about the incident that she's been known to thrash those who even mention Horned Lemurs in everyday conversation). Izumi is more than a bit of a gun nut, and on her time off she can often be found in her workshop, repairing and modifying weapons and armor brought to her. She's so much of a gun nut that she's been known to ask if she could "tweak" a teammate's weapons or armor in the middle of a fight. If you want to see her excited about anything, just bring up guns when talking to her... assuming you have more than an hour to kill.
History: Twenty-six years ago the CEO and owner of DareTek-- one of the largest interstellar defense contractors this side of the Milky Way-- had an affair with his secretary. As with many tales like this, said secretary discovered she was pregnant, and was subsequently fired when she told her boss. In exchange for her silence, Mr. Dare agreed to financially support her until her daughter was an adult. While it was never an extravagant amount of money, it was enough to let Izumi live a somewhat normal life. Well, almost; while other little girls asked for dolls and birthday parties, Izumi asked for combat mecha and trips to firing ranges. Unfortunately, that changed when she turned sixteen, when her mother died during a pandemic on her home planet. Before she died, however, she revealed that Izumi was the illegitimate child of one William Dare... and, therefor, an heiress (technically speaking, anyway). Through a series of misadventures, she met her father. In an interesting twist, Dare confessed to his wife that he'd had an affair; what followed was nothing short of the most spectacularly messy divorce seen in the (very) long history of Dare family divorces. Afterwards, Dare even thanked Izumi ("She always was a drama queen," he told her), and said that if she ever needed anything to ask. Her favor? Pull a few strings with his connections at GAHL, and provide training and weaponry (however she still has to pay him back for the weapons and armor). Now, at twenty-five, she's finished training, and is ready for a real hunt.
Weapons/Supplies: A set of semi-powered armor (semi-powered in the sense that it uses just enough energy to move as if she isn't wearing armor); she has four guns, but only ever takes two at once on a mission at a time-- a custom assault rifle (5.45x39mm HEIAP rounds; 30-round box magazine; safe, semi-auto, & 3-round burst-fire; "In my defense, we go after some damn big critters. I'd rather blow money on overkill than wind up as a snack."); a custom-made shotgun (12-gauge; seven-round stacked-projectile tube magazine, with both lethal and LTL rounds; semi-automatic, and both barrels can be fired at once if needed; "I'm not saying this is for zombies, but this would be GREAT to have if we run into some."; a custom-made submachine gun (9mm subsonic ammunition; 30-round box magazine; equipped with integral suppressor; "Nothing makes me feel better than the sound of automatic gunfire, but sometimes you have to get shit done quietly. God, I hate jobs like that."); a directed energy pistol ("Don't ask whose body I got this off of. Seriously, don't."; and a combat knife, which she keeps on her person at all times.
Misc: - Despite her love of animals, Izumi HATES bugs. Really, anything that could be classified as a "Bug-type" in Pokemon, she hates, and tends to go overkill when dealing with extremely large ones (and, by "overkill," absolutely NO weapon is out of the question when killing large bugs, including high-explosives).
- Touching anything in her workshop without express permission is forbidden; the last person who touched a grav-wrench got whacked so hard with it he forgot his own name.
- With the computer built into her helmet, she can track a target that she's hit with her energy pistol ("The bolts give off a unique radiation signature. Want to see if I can track you with it? I'll give you a ten-minute head start.")
- Dare has a rather strange, dark sense of humor; for example, when screwed over by a partner/boyfriend she once had, she shaved him bald in his sleep, and super-glued a dead bird to his butt.
- Because of the above, Izumi may or may not have sworn off getting romantically involved with men.

Hopefully this is okay. I tried to make her as weird and quirky as possible, but I can tone it back.

@Otaku95

Despite her love of animals -

The irony levels in this statement are off the charts...

(Jk. After all, they are doing this for mostly a more noble cause instead of poaching). But she looks good, so she's accepted. You will be the last person in as we have a lot of members already.

[Thecrash20]

Also I may make another instructor as we already have a lot of people. So we have Phoebe in... Iron Squad, I can make another person in say... Bronze Squad (or something, you know what I mean)

@Lmpkio

I assume my char will not be initially a part of these squads. I also want to ask, will you be placing my char in the start or have me move to the scene?

Im not sure what you mean.

@Lmpkio

My char is a native of the first planet. Soooo he technically shouldn't start off on one of the teams.

@Thecrash20

Ohhhhh. Well then I suppose you can wait till the others get there.

[Ryteb Pymeroce]

Zamuri may be drunk.

[6slyboy6]

@Lmpkio Soooo, when is the IC coming?

[Lmpkio]

@6slyboy6

Also update, tomorrow or Saturday there will be an opening post for yall.

@Lmpkio

May not happen right today, but expect tomorrow for sure.

[Avanhelsing]

I'm super excited!!!! I hope I'm not in the minority.

[GingerBoi123]

@Avanhelsing Gonna be sick!

Oh, @Lmpkio, okay to make Nova's Nano-Shot increase reaction time too?

[Avanhelsing]

@GingerBoi123
I'll make sure that Charlotte is super friendly to your guy.
She basically a Grrat Dane that happens to have double the legs. And more eyes.., And venom. That might not have been the right comparison.

[Lmpkio]

Oh, @Lmpkio, okay to make Nova's Nano-Shot increase reaction time too?

@GingerBoi123

Sure.

[6slyboy6]

@Lmpkio It's officaly Sunday here. I expected it all Yesterday. Where is mah post at, huh

[Lmpkio]

@6slyboy6 It's Saturday for me here lol but no I'll get a post up in a bit

[Lmpkio]

So here we go. Yes I resued this post from the old RP, but its fitting as many of you wanted the briefing first. So here you all go. (More original posts will be posting after everyone goes)

[6slyboy6]

I never noticed this before, but does "Sector: Alpha Centauri β" mean some kind of a Beta sector in the Alpha Centauri system or the B component (Alpha Centauri B, the smaller of the binary stars) of the system and the space surrounding it?

Is the space station in orbit around the Alpha Centauri B (as suggested by the name) or does "Sector Beta" refer to a Lagrangian point, possibly between the two stars?

My intention is not to pick on this, but rather I am curious to find out more about the universe created.

@6slyboy6

Exactly that. Trying to get some real-life stars and astronomy into the mix you know? After all, this all takes place in the Milky Way Galaxy... OUR galaxy basically. So there will be some famous stars mentioned and possibly you may visit a few more you know?

Like wouldn't it be great to be on a desert planet that's just habitable enough to orbit around UY Scuti (the biggest star in the galaxy known at this point)? Or maybe visit a planet near a black hole and have a whole Interstellar thing happen? The possibilities are almost endless, you know?
