An annoying beeping sound that was... why is it so dark... ugh I wish it would stop, where is it coming from anyway. I look around. Its hard as if my neck is stuck, i can't turn my head. I start to panic and can;t really remember what happened. The last thing I remember was that I was with Miller saving people, then a hard cracking noise and then... nothing, I don't know. God, make it stop please! Muffled voices can be heard. I can't really distinguish who they are and what they are saying. the only clear sounds are my thought and the annoying beeping sounds. I can't see, I can't move.
Alyssa I have no objection to you writing a post up for her prior to being wounded, and that was part of seeing if you could do it as I previously stated. However this... you're breaking some serious medical laws here. Prior to the crash you were bouncing around the ship much like everyone else, then you were running around helping people and after that you were exposed to space. I am afraid she will not survive, that will allow FallenReaper something to do...

The ship duck beneath a large chunk of meteor. 'Shield's charging!' Alarm bells were ringing. I quickly load up the rail guns but because there is no distinguished target I need to aim them myself. 'Weapons ready, changing controls to manual!' I start reading the movement s of our ship and shoot the meteors to the best of my ability. but Logan suddenly dodged the other way than I predicted. I missed a shot. a large rock hit the ship rocking the bridge. I feel a stinging pain in my neck. I slowly open my eyes, my head hurts like hell. the light hurts my eyes, where the hell am I, I look around the. the room is amazingly white, wounded people are lying everywhere, was I at the medical bay? What in the world happened?
Excuse me but... what? Actually.... What? First how do you think the bloody weapon systems work? They just go "Oh look that is an enemy" which is the case sometimes. However you can put in the details for enemy targets specifically and it isn't as if there aren't other weapon control folk that can target as well... Also debris not meteors. Debris makes it substantially more.. troublesome. As there could be anything in it!
Also what is with this, head banging the desk?
Sep said In the bridge things were settling down, as people who were wounded were healed by the Tok'ra and then suddenly out of nowhere sparks began flying out the separate consoles. Screens flickered and went black, obviously something was wrong with several of the smaller conduits and the damage had not been picked up by the sensors for when it was being re-routed from the main conduit system. The screen systems began to flash and the warnings began blaring again.
Lights flickered and then suddenly, the panel beside the chair to the weapons console exploded sending the occupant in that chair sailing to the other side of the room. He emitted a brief groan before he passed out, blood pooling over the floor.
You were flung clearly across the room, have been wounded slightly but not enough to remove you from critical condition or to wake up. So what is with you waking up? Do you read other peoples posts or do you just make it up as you go along?
He will also be having a fatal incident.
If you want to continue to play with us make a character in a non-command position. After reading all this and weighing the facts I do not feel that in this particular roleplay you are capable of it.

Appearance: Due to being born in the UK, Joseph’s appearance takes on what most consider ideal for a well-seasoned physician of his caliber. Thin, lanky body at the height of 5’10” high and dressed in common white coat, crisp black pants, solid color shirt and dress shoes underneath with a plain blue neck tie to finish off his office wear. It’s rare to see him in anything else because like all full time doctors, he’s partially married to his practice. His hair is stringy and white, neatly trimmed into a short cut. On first impression it’s clear by his appearance that Joseph takes pride in his work. In the face people have often described him as an older version of the actor named Bill Nighy with a hooked nose. However, anyone brave enough to say that out loud will earn a rather dark scowl and likely coldness alongside his usual professional demeanor. Through small reading glasses, his eyes are bear brown which at sometimes display certain human softness before it vanishes under the stern expression he’s fixed his face into naturally. It’s rumored that the old man’s face would crack if he ever considered smiling and for most Tempest residents and staff alike, his usual sober mood might very well prove that theory right!
Name: Dr. Joseph M. Sterling
Title: Physician and M.D
Role: Tempest’s Physician/Coroner
Unit: Medical
Age: 47
Gender: Male
Reason chosen for Tempest: Specialist in his field of medical treatment and critical care with a side degree as a coroner during his younger days. He is among the best to bandage, repair, prescribe, and whatever is necessary to ensure the death toll be minimal. Yet don’t expect him to be a god when it comes to saving life because in a situation like being onboard the Tempest or even on earth, he can’t guarantee there will never be life lost. That’s not how reality works.
Personality:
Here are some key traits which define Joseph’s personality over all, but they are subject to changes over time and IC development. It depends on the current pressure of how strictly he follows them and I might add more, for the time being these are the main ones.
Pride- Joseph takes a professional pride in his career and knows fully what he’s doing when it comes to the crew’s wellbeing. He rarely takes kindly to those who attempt to ‘best’ him at his own line of work; especially upstart interns that tend to take the more modern and hastier ways out when it comes to their patients. This doesn’t mean he’s outdated when it comes to medicine in the current age but prefers to take a slightly longer route, getting the job done right the first time despite how much time it consumes in the process. It doesn’t help he’s got a fondness for old fashion methods and sometimes scoffs at new ideas, unwilling to try them until needed. It also includes punctuality, good timing, and jeweled efficiently with one’s own job when it came to working alongside him. Sadly there are very few people that can fit his ideal worker but then again, he would likely still give them his ‘charming’ nature.
Gruff nature- Joseph’s social skills can be rather lacking compared to his young intern days. It seems long hours, the occasional patient death, his own personal hardships, and old age all could’ve played a factor in his present personality. Without hard evidence, these are mere speculations. One of the key traits is the fact he doesn’t like (though will when told to) working with others on what he views as minuscule tasks like routine appointments, paper/document work or examination of a corpse. Large tasks, namely in the case of surgery, he’ll tolerate aid from interns and other doctors yet it’s unlikely he’ll stand for professional sloppiness. Especially when a life is on the line, his temper held back until the opportune moment when the critical situation is over. Then he will bluntly remain either do one of two things: chew said problematic doctor verbally or give a rather cold shoulder. This often depends on the rank and severity of the event, either way he can manage to make even people his own age feel like a horse’s ass when it comes to others stepping on his toes in his own expertise. It is safe to say, he doesn’t go looking for a fight or aim to pick one just to rough up some feathers.
Kind Heart- Despite his gruff personality, Joseph is known to show rare acts of kindness and compassion when it comes to his patients. Mainly if he understands the pain well enough, this trait is shown in privacy and on his own time. Though he might complain about it, the good doctor tends to go beyond the call of duty just to complete a thorough and well done job in healing. This was a high factor causing him to be sought after to be aboard the Tempest’s maiden voyage, among others including passing the required psyche test. Another sure sign of this existing heart is found during his alone time, be it in the morgue readying the body for a funeral/storage/ autopsy or working on paperwork, as often classical music of unknown origins can be heard playing in the background.
Short Biography:
Joseph M. Sterling was born in a Morgantown Hospital in West Virginia. His parents were a Scottish man by the name of Sean MacLonn and his recent beloved, a southern belle called Francine Sterling. They met in Scotland and had planned to become engaged but Sean asked too much from her, thus it never happened. It wasn’t until she had gotten back to the State, she learned she was pregnant. Naturally Sean was notified soon after and it wasn’t until Joseph was five years old did he meet his father again, at least face to face. It was during a trip to Scotland when the man came to pick him and his mother from the airport during the summer. Needless to say Joseph was immediately scooped up and tossed upon the strong man’s shoulders. Throughout his life, the boy would spend much of his childhood traveling from nation to the other because both parents were too stubborn to compromise, even for a child they loved.
For most of his childhood Joseph spent his life in American with his mother’s family at Morgantown, WV, but in the summer time he would remember his days being lazy at his father’s estate where often the business tycoon would be absent. Joseph didn’t blame him, even when he grew older and in his earlier adolescence he had developed a fascination with fencing. He enjoyed the complex movements with his sabre, the possibilities to out move and think his competition seem endless in his utter focus and quick mind. It also helped he was near genius level in his IQ at 162 score though despite what most thought, it didn’t mean he knew everything or aimed to pretend he did. Merely he focused on key things and did them well.
It was at sixteen when something terrible happened and ruined his early goal to ever become an Olympic fencer. He was working a summer job, despite his father’s disapproval, when he slipped from a high area then plummeted into the ground below. It damaged his back, crippling him as he lost usage of his legs for a time. They said he would be able to walk again…but any exertion like those required in extreme sports or harsh fencing training could end up tearing the nerves and possibly cripple him permanently. To lose a dream before it began was a terrible loss to a man so young. However, this loss set him on a new goal: one of medicine and benefit to man. It was all thanks to a Doctor Hathaway who had sparked the young man’s interest.
Upon returning to America his goals were set in his mind. When he wasn’t in therapy, attempting to regain his legs, Joseph studied his way to become undergraduate for a four year college once he finished high school. For the next 2 years, Joseph worked hard to achieve both goals until he graduated at age 18. For most of his life he spent his time in America but occasionally returned to Scotland to keep in touch with his father. It took him several months but after his application to a high recommended medical college was accepted, he was well on his way. In repentance it seem for the ship yard accident, his father-still an influence when he could manage it from their long distance relationship- had aided Joseph in paying for his school education as well as attending his final free days beginning college in a week.
It was at Morgantown’s very own West Virginia University- the Division of Occupational Therapy where he studied subjects from Calculus to Physics, even English, which led to a love of Eng. Literacy as well as classical music, for four years. Now 22 years old he passed his MCAT though it was only on the second attempt, he suspected the first had been designed to be automatic failure as most his knowledge hadn't changed or improved in round two.
It was during his four years to complete his MD that at 22, he met Elaine, his future wife and around sweet hearted woman. He had a small café to thank for that. It wasn’t planned but just little over two years he found his life farther enriched when she accepted his proposal on bended knee. Life was difficult, trying to be a husband and keep up his studies, and to be honest Joseph was surprised to learn that Elaine was pregnant just before he was due to start residency within one of the local hospitals.
March 14, 1983 was when his son Connor was born and Joseph was thirty-one. Being a father while obtaining his own goals wasn’t easy, juggling was a priority and often a heartbreaking task. It only got worse after Elaine’s death five years later. The combination of a drunk driver and slick, snowy had made a disaster had ruin their lived. Elaine was on her way to pick up Connor at his grandmother’s then swing by for her husband. On impact, the man was killed immediately but Elaine was set in critical condition and rushed to nearest hospital: her husband’s. It was nightmare for him to see the woman he expected to pick him being the victim rushed through those emergency room doors; something seemed to snap within him. It wasn’t long when colleges realized who the victim was and managed to prevent Joseph from being in the operating room. A long night of wait had come for the Sterlings, the son and his grandmother arrived after his father’s call, until the dreadful news delivered round midnight.
Three years passed when another grim event had occurred. Joseph’s mother was diagnosed with a degenerative brain disease, one that affected memories, and there was little known cure or prevention. Unable to leave his eleven year old alone, Joseph was left with little options as his father made the suggestion to move to Gasglow. With his mother’s family holding his responsible for her death and his mother’s declining health, there was little choice. Then again it provided a fresh start for everyone at least. Making the arrangements, his father smug and pleased, and the Sterling family had moved into Scotland. For the following years Joseph still did his practice while Connor got to know his grandfather, both taking care of Francine who week by week started to lose more and more of her past. It wasn’t until a year ago that Joseph was approached for project of usual proportions. When his father asked him if he was considering it, Joseph became suspicious until the old man finally revealed what little he knew and fact he had suggested his own son for it! After a long conversation, Joseph agreed to become part of the medical staff for this project on two conditions: an untouchable fund is created for his family, filled by his pay and that he’s not assigned as head of his department. Despite his high credentials, Joseph didn’t like the stress or strain the position would have on him.

I shall post once more when we arrive on the planet...
well, i was in quite rush... trying to get a post up without reading the previous posts other then the Alyssa and Miller part.
There are some unpleasant events happening in my life right now and I cannot commit myself to RP as much as I want to.
I work seven days a week at the moment. we are a starting company so there is a lot to be done
I also have schoolwork for five days a week.
I have a lot of dance training because i have an important tournament soon
and on top of that, maybe even the most important reason. my dad is under surgery to remove the cancer in his thyroid.
so yeah, you could say I'm a busy person.
I hope you understand why it has been tough for me to post recently
I really like this role-play and the experienced members in here.
kill my characters off if you want, when you do, I won't be coming back, if you won't, ill continue this role-play, trying to commit more.

1) Reading other posts is essential to roleplaying.
2) Then why are you roleplaying? Not to mention, why didn't you tell me this?
3) ^
4) ^^
5) ^^^
If you have all this, sure you can roleplay. Though you've just made an argument against you maybe having such an influential and important character. You can take this poorly if you want, however I gave you warnings and such and you could of stepped down to a less important role, one that is less time consuming, It would of been easier earlier on if you had just told me about all this, however it is too late for that and I while I am unable to sympathise I can emphasise (If anyone gets that quote, I award you +1 life).
In the end, the current characters you have will not be continuing and that is my final decision. I do not mean to seem cruel, or callous, or evil or anything like that. However decisions made.
Ill be taking my leave then, with +1 life in the pocket

The 100Kb limit on avatars was somewhat annoying. We had to scale our avatar down to well below the pixel limit.
Anyways, we've decided to have our character off the bridge for a bit now. She was petrifying there. Not developing as she should. Anyone of those ship-struck that want to do a collab with us? No plan for topic yet, not beyond "character development" at least.
