[OOC] Mass Effect: Underworld

[Zombiedude101]

As much as I'm interested, I'm probably not going to have time over the course of the next week to get a CS done given I'm already focussing on Dervish's RP. Whatever the case, good luck to you folks.

[Rare]

I finally got my NS done, yess!

[Mosis Tosis]

Long ass post, incoming. Actually was supposed to be longer (much longer!) since I was (and still am) going to add a bunch of stuff for the other two Riptide leaders, but considering I'll be gone most of the next few days I figured I'd at least get this much up.

[Sundered Echo]

Good to see some IC posts.

Sorry to hear that Zombie, but unfortunately these things do happen.

Good to hear of more completions and such. For those still waiting on reviews, do not be afraid to do your characters as well if you have not yet done them, you often wont need a perfect NS in order to get the majority of a character thoguht out.

[Dervish]

I was not expecting a Wanted reference so soon, Mosis. :D

Excellent reads all around!

It only seemed appropriate :D

What to write, what to write...

[Rare]

I'm waiting to be accepted, soo I might go and play some good old Roller Coaster Tycoon.

As for Relations, who would like one with The Red Phoenix?

[Dervish]

Almost done my post. Whoo!

[Mosis Tosis]

More postage. Most of my posts won't be nearly as long or involved as these last couple (and the next couple to come) are, I'm just stretching my metaphorical writing muscles as I get used to the characters :)

Also Sunny, do you think Riptide and Zhar would get along, or do you think they're competitors? Or neutral? Just wondering your thoughts on the subject.

[Sundered Echo]

I think they'd tentatively get along. Zhar would probably view Nadene as something of an equal, possibly more so if he knew her background. The others are merely shortlived things, beings whos lives are over in a flash and not really worth getting to know....

Zhars shipping is quite specific and tends to skirt the law rather than flaunting as Riptide tends to, so I doubt there'd be much stepping on toes, though it might happen from time to time.

[Rare]

So, Echo, do you have anything to say about my NS?

[Sundered Echo]

Rare, a few things.

For Strurm, its alright if you simply don't have a history for him, but if you do and are keeping it secret I'll need it PMed to me.

For Druslius, you know that for Turians military service is compulsory right? All Turians born into normal Turian society serve in the military whether they like it or not, man and woman alike. He's still allowed to like it but he's not joining specifically because he likes it, he's joining because when you're Turian, thats what you do.
Dervish is the resident Turian expert, but I bellieve they enlist at fifteen and serve for fifteen years normally.
Other than that, his reason for founding a merc group is a little weak. ITs quite an impressive endeavour to set up an organised group like that, and if he is so law abiding and order loving, why go out to Omega and set up what is essentially a hit squad? It doesn't really make sense.
Finally, given that Turians serve in the military so much, and their military lives are generally quite active, he'd still be in pretty decent shape at 42, especially as it hardly seems that he'd let his body go to hell. Turians can easily make 100 usually, and as far as I know have lifespans that match humans roughly. For reference, that means 150 is about as old as they can get with genetic engineering and cybernetics.

[Dervish]

For all turian citizens, a period of 15 years pf public service begins when they turn 15, so Sunny D is right that way. While military service is typically the main choice, other forms of public service exist that a turian can do that qualifies towards their conscription. Given the martial nature of turian society, you'd probably be looked down on for not doing your part for the Hierarchy forces, but there are options.

[Rare]

So, what age should Druslius be then? And what I meant by order was that he likes it when it's calm and shuts down when things are in chaos. I have change that to not confuse anyone else. I shall fix the errors. Do you think that Strurm should have a history?

---

Alright I have fix the problems, besides the age, because I want to know what age should he be.

[Sundered Echo]

Well if you want him to suffering from age, I'd say 60 and up is believeable, though probably 70 is a better starting point given the availability of genetics and cybernetics to minimise the effect - unless he chooses not to have such things.

I hadn't actually made the comment on order based on the entry in flaws, but the issue was solved anyway so thats fine.

I'm reviewing the salarian sheet by Pepperm1nt next, then more from there.

[Rare]

Nah, I might just keep him at forty-two. I have replaced old with greedy for the flaws.

Sounds good to me.

And you asked about Strurm, he only needs a history if you want him to have one.

[Rare]

Nah, Krogan history is hard for me to do. Am I accepted? If so, when could I post?

[Sundered Echo]

You're looking good Rare, but I'm afraid I wont be doing any more acceptances for roughly four days, at which point I'll be accepting the four best organisations as selected by myself all at once. This was announced three days ago, though I can understand if not everyone caught it on the OOC.

On a more general note to everyone:

I would really like to leave this open for as many people as interested to join, but the unfortunate truth is that I am just one man, and I have my limits. At this moment in time, more than ten players at once would be too much to manage, since I have to do a fair amount of upkeeping as GM. The number of players I accept may increase in the future as I get used to the upkeeping and become more efficient with it, and if more slots open up there will be more chances to be accepted if you weren't initially accepted.

This combined with the inevitable few dropouts that happen in almost every game for a number of reasons means that not being accepted at this early stage is by no means a reason to give up on the idea of participating.

Until the time of acceptance, everyone should think of themselves as having an equal chance of being accepted as any other.
