[OOC] Along A Different Path (Robotech/Macross inspired anthro-optional RP)

[Rafale]

Very good, save for one insignificant mistake, non too bothersome, but just pointing it out:

He eyed the pair of SV-52's on his wings, and mentally noted how well both Svenja and Rita flew.

Rita actually flies a VF-1, or, as I'm mostly going to start calling it since I can't be bothered to remember the name, the Spacy-Tomcat-Eagle. Not too much of problem, as I said, but I wanted to put it out there before getting to writing.

[Rhona W]

Ah, okay - I will edit as appropriate! Thanks for pointing that out to me.

[Muttonhawk]

Hey, sorry to inform you, but circumstances have changed and I'll have to postpone making a character until further notice. I'll be keeping an eye on the RP, but don't wait for me if you want to cap the number of players.

[Minder]

Oh god, I watched a few episodes of Robotech to get a feel for the 'verse again, and now I'm hearing Silver's posts in the narrator's voice XD

[Rafale]

I started watching The Super Dimension Fortress Macross and I'm not kidding when every single character seems exactly like their show counterpart (especially Captain Global and Claudia). Well done, Silver! Very excited to see where this goes!

[Rafale]

Yippee, the Guild is back!

Anyway, I was wondering if there was any chance we might see...

SUPER DIMENSION SPACE TUNA.
It would make this RP complete!

[Rhona W]

THE INVID'S NEWEST WEAPON

[Rafale]

By the way, I wonder where our other three players have disappeared off to? Respectfully, I would very much like them to post so we can get things moving!

[Rhona W]

It's the weekend, they may well have been busy with other things. It's okay, I'm sure they haven't abandoned us this early on....!

fgdnjlghtnj klgftnjkfdgm F!@#$ I NEED TO DOUBLE TIME THE CS D:

[Cartwright]

Name: Roland Holkom
Age: 24
Race: Sentinel
Species: Vulfen

Appearance

*No Scars at this time* Medical pouch strapped to side, Ammo Bandolier wrapped around the left shoulder stretched out to the right side, containing four magazines for his primary weapon. Carabiner loop around the right upper chest region of the uniform *for primary weapon*

Personal Info: Roland is a high spirited fellow, usually confident and smiling throughout the day. There are a few things that break this happy routine, it could vary from tense situations to very rough conditions to even high velocities of pain. In the end though, the fox Vulfen does his best to keep cool and keep his head in the game. When he is not on watch or watch duty if entirely boring, he loves to have someone to chat with throughout the free time he had even if it costs him some of his food his family has sent him as a care package. There are times he prefers solitude, typically when he wishes to be in deep thought over "stuff and things"

He is also one who believes in angels. Unlike how humans believe in god, though, he just thinks of the angels as normal people with extraordinary abilities who can curse or save people.

Personal History: Roland has been a very friendly character throughout his career. It is interesting how he came to be that way due to the difficulties he has encountered throughout his childhood. His family, consisting of Vulfens like himself occasionally have the typical bumps and issues like a normal human family. There were at times legal issues, financial issues, and necessity issues that relocate the fox from city to city within the Vulfen society. He stuck by family though, and as a result they stuck with him when he made the decision to join the military. At times they try to get him stuff from home such as food and small accessories to letters and cards.

Now, after his training that went through with flying colors, Roland becomes deployed for the first time in his military career.

Mecha: SV-VII Alpha Fighter
Weapons and equipment: Medical Equipment

VOSS-Light Assault Rifle

Personal Theme

[Rhona W]

Looks great, Cart - I'll add him to the list of confirmed characters!
Feel free to jump right into the IC.

I'm pretty much figuring at the moment, that after months (years?) of fighting retreating battles against the Invid and Haydonites, the Sentinels unit structures are probably a big of a hodge-podge, and tend to have been scraped together from whoever's left to pilot what mecha they have, and do it reliably and effectively. So, I'm going to take a liberty (because REASONS), and say our XT characters are flying together, much as the human characters are as well.

[Rafale]

Alright with me.

That's right, I had a question that I became curious about while watching Macross (which is excellent. Those feels in episode 8...). When we/if we launch off the Macross, will we have some sort of equivalent of the Daedalus (the aircraft carrier that docked on the Macross shortly after it arrived in Pluto's orbit) to use as a runway or will we be launching and landing in GERWALK mode out the bays on the sides of the Macross (seen in the first few episodes, if I recall correctly)? My vote goes to a Daedalus equivalent, because carrier landings and take offs are awesome.

[Rhona W]

We won't be based on the Macross, since it's staying in orbit of Tirol, while we go boldly gallivanting around the local group of stars and planets and liberating left and right as we go. However, just to answer your question:

ARMD-Class carrier

As per the Macross in Macross: Do You Remember Love? and appearances of it post-end of TV show, the Macross in our 'verse is fitted with a pair of ARMD-Class carriers, as was always the intention.

The Sentinel has a catapult launch deck atop the hull, but as evidenced by our opening post, uses a bay with arrestor wires for recoveries. It can also perform grapple drop-launches too.

[Rafale]

Okay then. I guess the Sentinel will be enough. But I guess that means there'll be no Miss Macross Competion... Perhaps we can have a Mademoiselle Sentinel Contest? I'm sure Rita would be an eager contestant, if you know what I mean.

[Minder]

Hmm, quick question - do the Sentinels know that the Macross is what the Robot Masters up and left to chase after?

[Slamurai]

All the NPC dialogue sounds just like the original Robotech when I read it in my head!
Posting soon!

[Ramzam]

Now that I've had my fill of Strike Vector I'll be posting soon as well. Writing momentum and all that.

[Rafale]

So about that Mademoiselle Sentinel Competition... yes, no? Maybe so? :P

[HopelessIncubus]

waiting for some slowpokes, also why are we trying to push for an intergalactic USO show?
