[OOC] Stargate - H.M.S Tempest

[Ellri]

Good to hear.

It might be an idea to have the name, rank, age, etc. on the same lines as the answers to that field. Makes it easier to read.

What sort of source do you have for the image? We're curious.

Bah! I need a PC executive officer! :D

I whipped this up on that thought. I'm quite willing, however, to give up the position, if someone else wants it.

|Appearance: Prematurely graying, grizzled, and scarred, Creon looks like he's 67, not 47. He's short and skinny - not for lack of food, but because he's only got muscle. His eyes are a piercing brown, deep-set and shadowed.
|Name: Creon Thomas
|Rank: Lieutenant Commander
|Role: Executive Officer
|Unit: Tempest Crew
|Age: 47
|Gender: Male
|Reason chosen for Tempest: Rescued from a desk job by Captain Alexis West; Capable manager of crew
|Personality: Under pressure, he tends to be loud, bellowing, passionate, fiery, hot-blooded, and gives the impression that he'd take apart enemy ships with his bare hands if nothing else. When not directly under a knife, Creon is fiercly loyal and passionate about his duty to ship and country. If he thinks the captain is angry about something, but keeping it quiet, he'll speak up in her stead. If one of his subordinates is screwing up, they'll know about it quickly, loudly, and close to their face. Creon has a talent for keeping the crew well-oiled and in a state of high morale, even if half the crew hates him at any given time.

He acts as advisor and friend to Alexis, and tells the hard truth when it needs to be told.
|Short Biography: Creon has had a long career in the Royal Navy, having served aboard four separate ships with one command. He met Alexis while serving aboard the same destroyer that she was a sonar operator for. He greatly respected her abilities and put in a good word with his superiors.

Creon is the sole survivor of a catastrophic and needless "training accident" whilst commanding a Daring-class missile frigate. Unfortunately, that left Creon as the wrongful scapegoat to everyone who didn't need-to-know. So the higher-ups quietly shifted him to an official desk job. Unofficially, he was transferred to a ship that wouldn't get anywhere near an ocean - The Tempest - at the request of his friend and soon-to-be commanding officer, Alexis West. Ever since the incident, the details of which he wouldn't tell anyone even if it wasn't need-to-know, he's been incredibly reluctant to take command of anything. Not that he's incompetent; he simply prefers to not have end-of-the-line responsibility.

Interesting character name, Queen Raidne...

perhaps one of the Navigation officers (whichever one it fits best for) should be converted to Weapons officer?

[Queen Raidne]

You caught that reference, then? I was considering also incorporating Saul or Basil in there somewhere. Perhaps a middle name of Basil.

[Ellri]

Reference? Can't say we did... it just stuck out. Wasn't exactly the most common first name...

There is someone thinking of applying, whom we are waiting for now.

Rare, accepted.

Considering this is rares FIRST character and the other one is an exceedingly high rank for his station, rare gets it.

We'll wait and see if Wolf comes up with his XO sheet anytime soon before we make anything final on him;

[Sep]

Raidne. You may be XO. Myself and others want to get this underway, so I'm not going to wait for Wolf.

[Ellri]

you can always let people join as it goes. That tends to work well. It did in Aftermath at least.

[Sep]

Indeed. I'm just saying that I'm not waiting for him to start :P

[Sundered Echo]

It works exceedingly well here, as we have a Stargate onboard that will allow us to entry and exit characters at will.

Also, for the upcoming post, as a matter of clarification, until colours are available in posts, Italic writing means it is from the perspective of Ariadne, while normal writing is the perspective of Idalia.

[Forsythe]

@Queen: Splendid! :)

[Rare]

:p I'm thinking of what to post...

[Sep]

So you managed to avoid an American Xo, well done.

Also Forsythe O'Neills question is for the end of your intro post. I'd rather Collab and if you have time
Collab here
and we can also live chat.

Encase you want to do what Ellri is doing and have some of her arriving here we are at Loch Muick.

If anyone want to collab I have another collab sheet we can use.

Appearance:

Image

Name: James Miller.
Rank: Sergeant
Role: Second of Command of Tempest Strike One/Demolitions expert.
Unit: Tempest Strike One
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Reason chosen for Tempest:
Personality: Strict follower for military doctrine, no real sense of humour.
Short Biography: William Thomas wasn't outstanding in basic training, nor during any of the specialist trainings he underwent. In fact the reason he became part of the Stargate Program was due to more of a clerical error, or so he believes. He was sent on the first Atlantis expedition five years ago just after he received his demolitions training and was sent on the Daedalus making the Tempest the second Earth ship he has been on. Once at Atlantis he was part of a team that spent time in the city eliminating any remaining Wraith from the siege making the first aliens he ever encountered beings that could suck the life out of you with the palm of their hands, which wasn't exactly a pleasant thought. Once he finished this he spent more time in the city evaluating structural weaknesses due to the assault on the city.

He spent five years in the city, receiving additional training and working his way up to Corporal from private, he then returned back to Earth and became a training instructor for British Servicemen intended to join the Stargate Program. When the Tempest was announced to go on its Maiden Voyage he was placed as the second in command of the veessels main strike team in order to lend his expertise to the sections leader.

[Marrow]
