[OOC] Robotech: The Macross War (Space Opera, Mecha RP)

[Rhona W]

I'm here too, been checking in dutifully.

[vietmyke]

Alrighty, if everyone's still here I'll probably get us started up soon

[Krayzikk]

Sounds good to me. Was there anything any of us needed to fix before we start moving sheets to the Characters tab?

[vietmyke]

I'm pretty sure most of them are pretty reasonable, I'll take a quick look over everyone again when I get back from work, but I don't recall any red flags sticking out for anyone's character

[vietmyke]

@Silverwind Blade very likable, Goldman's good to go.
@Krayzikk bit of a wild child, but will probably work well with the team dynamic. Good to go.
@Plank Sinatra and we have our rookie. Good to go.

Sorry I've been so slow on the take everybody- just got a new job recently and its still a bit hectic getting used to how everything works. I'll throw up a character for myself and we'll get this show on the road sometime tonight or tomorrow

[Krayzikk]

Sounds good to me, I'll move over Kat before I go to work myself.

[KaiserElectric]

Are you still accepting characters? I've been itching for a good mecha rp lately. c:

[vietmyke]

@KaiserElectric Depends on how quickly you can get something up I guess. I don't mind having another player but I'm planning on starting the IC soon

[KaiserElectric]

@vietmyke I can finish before Sunday is out, I'm like 3/4 done but I'm not super familiar with the show and I want to brush up on some of the Lore to finish the character. ^^

This is her if you're curious.

[vietmyke]

@KaiserElectric Alright, if you can finish most of it before sunday is out then it should be fine.

As for everyone else, I'm currently writing the IC as we speak. Or rather, as I type.

[Crimmy]

@vietmyke

I've actually been hanging about wondering if there were any issues with the profile I chucked up several weeks back.

[vietmyke]

@Crimmy Ah, you didn't make any comments with the others so I had assumed you'd jumped ship. Montgomery is fine

[Crimmy]

@vietmyke Sorry about that. Got busy with uni.

Do I chuck it in the char tab?

[vietmyke]

Yup, you can go ahead and throw it over.

[KaiserElectric]

Here we go, way later then I wanted but she's pretty much set. I'll flesh out some more of her character and history soon, hopefully. ^_^

Poland Stronk!

Name: Dragomira, Kalina
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Origin: Kraków, Poland

Appearance: Kalina stands at just a hair under five feet, or as she strongly insists, "five foot one". Despite her small stature and skinny frame, Kalina is deceptively agile and can move around in tight cramped spaces with ease. Lightly tanned with hazel eyes, she likes to wear her hair to her shoulders, the back end tied off in a ponytail, and when not in uniform she can usually be seen wearing one of several novelty t-shirts. She also has a tattoo depicting the insignia of the 1st Armored Division of Poland on her right shoulder, in honor of her grandfather.

Callsign/Codename: Hyena
Kills: 3 confirmed.
Veritech Specs: Kalina isn't picky about her Valkyrie's loadout and prefers to adapt to the situation, although she has a clear preference for missiles and favors the standard Super FAST Pack. Besides making the red and white paintjob into more of a checkerboard design to imitate the colors of her native country, the color scheme of her Veritech is largely the same, with the addition of a snarling hyena on the nose and the phrase Za wolność naszą i Waszą written underneath.

Psychological Analysis: Kalina is a chaotic good if there ever was one. Fiendishly clever and charming, she is constantly on the move and doing something, whether it's fine-tuning her equipment for the next battle, hanging out and training with her squad, or just adding to her impressive collection of comic book and movie ephemera. Possessing clear talent but somewhat lacking in real experience, she can always be counted on to tackle a problem in an unexpected way, both in and out of the cockpit of her Veritech. While this has lead to her reputation for being unruly, as she will happily ignore orders from distant authorities to complete an objective if she spots an opening, she is still fiercely loyal to her squad-mates and to anyone who fights for freedom like she does. That sort of respect, coupled with her natural ability and unpredictable tactics, make it easy to overlook her impressive record of insubordination.

Her nickname is a holdover from her service in the Air Forces of Poland. On one of her first missions during the Black Sea Crisis, she saved her squad leader by performing an extremely dangerous dive bomb maneuver on an enemy fighter to attack from an appropriately unpredictable angle, scoring her first ever kill. The stress of combat combined with the stress of the G-forces she was subjected to pulling out of said dive caused her to burst into manic laughter, earning her the call sign Hyena.

Military Record:
-Born and raised in Kraków. Her Father served with distinction in the Land Forces while her Grandfather was a member of the 1st Armored Division.
-Enlisted in Land Forces and initially trained as helicopter pilot.
-Nearly discharged for insubordination but was instead transferred to Air Forces. Excellent test scores in spite of behavior qualified her for training.
-Flew MiG-29's in the later wars of the Anti-Unification League. Served with distinction in the Black Sea Crisis and the Battle of Zosin.
-Began training for VF-1 after recommendation from superiors, selected as potential recruit for Fox Squadron after training was finished.

@KaiserElectric Alright, looks good.

I'm gonna go ahead and close this off to further characters, and I'll get this show on the road

[vietmyke]

Alrighty, and first post is up- I decided to start us a bit before the action starts so we have time to actually get some character development and chitchat in before we jump into the frying pan.

Its up to you guys whether you want to be new pilots or 'old faces'. I assume a pilot like Montgomery and Amanda have been there for at least a little while- Montgomery longer than Amanda probably. While pilots like Cairo, Ryan (as mentioned in his bio) and maybe Kalina are either newer pilots or the 'fresh faces' we speak of.

[Crimmy]

Yeah, gotta have your old dadderino.

[KaiserElectric]

Kalina will definitely be one of the newer pilots. I'll drum up a post after class tomorrow ^_^

[Rhona W]

Ryan will definitely be one of the newer ones to the squadron, as you said yourself.
I'll try and get a post up either this evening or tomorrow.
