[OOC] Strike Witches 1991: The Gulf Neuroi War

[Aleranicus]

I am cool with this plan!

[Lost Cause]

Name: Nicole “Goose” Bradshaw

Age: 13

Appearance:

Boom

Nation: United States of Liberion

Rank: Ensign

Striker Unit: F-14 Tomcat

Weapon: M60E3 Machine Gun, Striker-mounted ordnance.

Magical Ability:

Animal Familiar: Liberion Shorthair

Personality: Nicole can best be described as having a little too much energy, and not enough ways to release it. The result is that she’s turned into a bit of a joker, although she got more than enough reprimands for that at the academy to mostly break her of her habit of pranking her squadmates.

Bio/History: Nicole is a very green Witch, having only just earned her wings before getting posted to the Gulf. As a result she’s still very unstable in the air, but it also means that the war hasn’t had the chance to strip her of her enthusiasm yet.

She does, however, come from a reasonably long line of Navy witches; her grandmother flew a Hellcat against the European Neuroi hives.

Yeah, her backstory still isn't quite finished if we're honest.

Meh, you can add more stuff later as we go along. Just glad that you got something up!

IC coming up tonight!

UUUUUuUUUHHHHGGGGG

Sorry this took a bit longer than expected! Dad walked into the room and made me listen to an episode of "The Bugle" by John Oliver right in the middle of typing up the damn thing! Granted it was funny, but damn did that throw off my creative flow! Anyway, feel free to react to the little speech, interact with your new squad mates, or head to your rooms to dump the baggage. Paula and Patty are still in the briefing room, so feel free to come up to one of them and try to introduce yourself or something. The next even will come once everyone has at least gotten their intros up.

[Kitsune]

I can tell there is going to be a lot of punishment...

[Lennon79]

I look forward to it.
/edit Just a side thought, but we could do with one or two more Sky Witches and a squad leader for the Tank Witches (who I assumed was Paula?)

in terms of the Sky Witches shortage, I'm gonna make that stealth witch into a character. If anything it will give me a chance to interact with you guys more commonly. In terms of the squad leader of the Land Witches, I was thinking of it being something that gets awarded to a Land Witch due to her actions in the coming combat, but I'm open to any suggestions.

UPDATE

CS for our new stealth witch Dorothy is completed! Her intro post will be up tomorrow.

[Kitsune]

That sounds perfect to me, given that they don't know how we act within combat.

[Lost Cause]

Just for reference, This is what junior rates berthing on an aircraft carrier looks like.

I was actually visualizing it like this from the movie:

Only with one side having another bunk instead of the cabinets.

Also Dorothy's picture updated (Noticed the rank patches where wrong) and her post will be up soon! She will be given the two Orussian's room.

[Lennon79]

Yeah I was going by the anime standard, though granted that's based in the 40s...
Although come to think of it, since half of the Witches are commissioned and due to the fact that their canonically treated disproportionately well for their ranks, would they get officers cabins? Or perhaps purpose-built Witch's quarters?

[Lost Cause]

I think that would actually be a Junior Officer's compartment that Yoshika and Shizuka got billeted in.

I'll admit I was being a little bit unfair there; the photo I posted is junior enlisted quarters. Here's something a bit more appropriate.

[Avalant]

Let's just go by the anime standard. XD This is gonna be home base, so make like the Orussians and make it homey! This is also the largest ship ever built, so I think they can spare a bit of room for special Witch accommodations.

[Kitsune]

I hope you like the post ^^;

[Avalant]

Very nice! I shall post soon. Or should I wait for Lennon to also respond?

[Lennon79]

I can post, but I'd rather wait til the others have got replies up.

[Avalant]

Nahhh just go ahead and post. I think it would be weird not to get our favorite alcoholic's reaction to this! :D

[Aleranicus]

Meanwhile Stephen's room is his, ALL HIS! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!
