Military Starship crew RP

[Lord Coake]

So my idea was for an RP in which we played the crew and marines of a large military starship, patrolling Humanity's various colonies to protect the United Earth Star Alliance from various rebel factions that seek independence. I'm looking for a larger group, around 6-8 players minimum, as I want to show the different events in the RP from different crew aspects, like have the engineering officer and a Marine Sergeant both RP their views of the current space/planetary battle going on. The key to this setting, is that as of the start of the RP, humanity is still unaware of any non-earth-based Sentient life, so no aliens yet. I just want to see if there's any interest in this before I make up a CS.

Brady was raised in the backwoods of South Carolina, where his father was the local sheriff. An avid outdoorsman, Mike's father taught him the skills needed to hunt and survive in the isolated woods around their rural country home. Josh enjoyed being outdoors so much that schoolwork never came easy. He was unable to sit still for a single moment at a time. He never could quite live up to his parents’ expectations, especially since they were the pillars of their small community. After graduating, Josh took the fastest route out of town and enlisted in the military. When not on an operation, Josh's country upbringing shows in everything he does. He is quiet, and polite, never forgetting his manners. In combat, Josh transforms into an intense, no nonsense, warrior. He understands the chain of command and follows orders without questions. Growing up in the woods has made him into an efficient battlefield hunter. Josh is usually the first to see or contact the bad guys. He always volunteers walks the lead.

Name: John Levi
Age: 28
Gender: Male

Hider

Personality: Quiet, but fiercely loyal to his shipmates, and intensely focussed on his job. Could be seen as a kinda geeky, shy type, but once you get to know him he opens up and actually becomes pretty chatty. Very enthusiastic about describing electronics and science.
Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise: Holds a degree in electronics, and qualified as an e-war and communications specialist. Passed basic marksmanship, but with an average score. A very strong swimmer.

[Lord Coake]

Posting this here to give people an idea of what to expect from the Captain, OOC coming up next!

Name: Nicholas Stirling

Age: 48

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Position: Naval Crew, Captain of the newly-christened UESA Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny

Personality: Very strict, to-the-letter, and rule-following. He often does random inspections to ensure his crew is performing at its very best. However, he also wants to ensure his crew remains happy and ready to serve 100% of the time, and isn't above the occasional morale-boosting shore leave. He does his best to keep the crew safe, while also completing the mission required. However, one regulation he commonly breaks, is the strict restriction on lighting a combustible aboard the vessel, because he is frequently seen enjoying a Cuban cigar, both on and off-duty.

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise: Captain Stirling is a brilliant tactician, having taught at the Naval Academy at the UESA stronghold world of Orpheus IV. He's been a decisive part of several large-scale battles against various rebel forces, and is a valued captain of the UESA, which is why he was given command of the new Mayweather-Class Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny. He also excels at both ship-board weapons and navigation systems, and has been known to take over those stations in a battle, should the situation require it.

History: Nicholas was born on Earth, in the sprawling mega-city of Chicago, in the Former United States. He was often found beating up other children, not because he wanted to start trouble, but because they had been attacking younger or weaker children. This concept of defending the weak would last throughout his life, as when he was 18, a massive news report came in of an entire UESA Colony being decimated by rebels that had obtained control of a UESA Cruiser, and bombarded the planet's surface. This act is what pushed him to enlist in the Navy, where he would excel in his Academy classes. He would initially be stationed on the Carrier vessel Defiance, as a Petty Officer First Class, eventually rising to the rank of Lieutenant before being reassigned to teach Advanced Weapons and Tactics at the Naval Academy on Orpheus IV. As the rebel attacks got bolder and more devastating, Nicholas would be reassigned to ship service, first as a Commander and First Officer aboard Fleet Admiral Davis' Cruiser, the Dynasty. After proving excellent in ship command when Davis became too injured to continue during a battle, He was promoted to Captain, and assigned a new crew with a newly launched Destroyer, the Convergence of Destiny.

[Lord Coake]

See, we've already got someone wanting to be the Naval Medical Chief, so that's taken. But the option to be the medical chief for the marine's ground engagements is open, if you'd like that?

[Austronaut]

That works perfectly I always intended to be attached to the Marines rather than the Navy

[Lord Coake]

@AustronautAlright, Bio accepted. Repost it in the OOC's characters section, and I'll PM you your rank.

[Mortarion]

Hmm, interesting, ahven't done a group RP in a long time, is there any room left?

[Lord Coake]

@Mortarion There's still plenty of room, it's a large ship after all. I would like to put out the suggestion of a Marine character, as we're a bit light on them in comparison to Naval crew.
