[OOC] Convergence of Destiny, a Starship Military RP

[Tricheus]

Kathy Kuznetsov

Name: Kathy Kuznetsov
Age: 32
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Chloe is 6'5" tall.

Position:

Personality: Kathy is a lady of few words. When she does speak, it's usually a gruff and short response. Unless if she talks about the strange inner workings of machines and computers, then she can almost talk non-stop. It's not that she dislikes or is unfriendly towards others, she just doesn't understand them so well, not like machines anyways. Machines are just so much more logical and easier to work with. Thus, she may find social interactions very taxing and will leave without apology or excusing herself. But even then, Kathy has been known to be a good and quiet listener. She may not know what to do with the information being spewed, but she will listen.
Rank or station don't impress Kathy. She more respects those who have a level head and know what they're doing. If the ship is in danger of breaking apart or she needs help at a crucial part of a repair, she Will issue commands and expect them to be followed, again, regardless of rank or station.

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise:

• Informal then formal mechanical engineering training
• Formal computer programming training
• Innate creativity and resourcefulness in coming up with improvised and unorthodox fixes (MacGyver)
• Surprisingly tremendous body and arm strength
• MMA mix of boxing, tai chi and judo

History: Mr. Kuznetsov ran a little repair shop in Texas. Growing up, Kathy was always ordered to spend time with her father and help out. She would have absolutely hated this if not for the fact that she ended up loving the work. She even dropped out of highschool to work full time, but eventually earned her GED so she could go to college for further education.
Finding work in aerospace development and maintenance she made quite the name for herself for her efficient work and surprising effective hack fixes. She was recommended for a mechanic role on board the Convergence of Destiny and Kathy gladly accepted, since it would be a new experience and she knew her skill and knowledge would be pushed to the limit.

[Lord Coake]

@Tricheus Well, your position would be as an engineering Crewman. I'll PM you a rank.

(Work-in-Progress! Pretty much all set, just waiting on thoughts/approval)

Snake J. O'Hennessey

Name: Snake J. O'Henessey
Age: 42
Gender: Male
Position: [REDACTED]

Appearance:

In Armor

Out of Armor

Personality:

- Unstable
- Bloodthirsty
- Cynical
- Cruel
- Unusual
- Perverted
- Quote, "Life of the Party!"

Notable Skills:

- Skilled Wildlife Exterminator
- Skilled Life Exterminator
- Veteran Marine
- Adept Flamethrower Operator/Aficionado
- Basic Firearms Training

History: Snake J. O'Hennessey was born on Phobos, the largest of Mars' satellites. Phobos was a crampt and overpopulated, leading to many of it's districts to house the poorest percent in the solar system. Fathered by a military man with no mother, Snake found himself finding friends in dark places. Throughout most of his young life Snake was active in gang activity, usually involving robbing small convenience stores or picking fights.

At the age of eighteen, Snake was arrested for nearly beating a store clerk to death. Snake's father disowned him as soon as he got word from the police, ashamed of his son. Snake would spend three years in the Phobos jail system, facing harsh conditions and eventually joining a prison gang for protection. At the age of twenty-one, Snake was enlisted into the Marines as a wildlife exterminator. This section of the Corps was infamous for usually consisting of suicide missions and convict soldiers. Despite the odds, Snake lived through every mission with a kill count almost unseen until his enlistment.

Years later, far after his sentence was served and his debts to society paid, Snake still fights in the Outer Rim slaughtering wildlife and fellow humans alike. Maybe he is broken from his years in jail and on the front...or maybe he loves the violence too much.

[Lord Coake]

@SuperTacticalDerp Accepted, will PM rank.

[Mortarion]

Ok Coake, here's my characer, sorry it took so long, a few thigns came up

Gabriel Devin Frost

Name: Gabriel Devin Frost
Age: 30
Gender: Male
Appearance:

My Hider

Position: Marine
Personality: Gabriel is generally a carefree individual, he enjoys reading and going to the bar when on shore leave. He has a slightly rebellious atitude, often challenging, or outright disobeying, orders that he finds are either agaisnt his personal morals or could be resolved in a better maner, but knows when not to disobey orders. Despite the previous trait, Devin is generally a quiet man and finds it difficult to strike conversations, unless it's a topic he finds interesting, but tries to be helpful to other people.
Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise: Urban and guerrilla warfare, minimal technical skills (just enough to do a quick repair on the field, but otherwise doesn't knows much)
History: Gabriel was raised in the United States, in a small city which name he never bothered to commit to long-term memory and quickly faded from it altogether as he moved away. His father was an entrepeneur and possesed a starship, using it to bring goods back and forth from the various human colonies to the earth and then viceversa. He was always expected to continue his father's legacy and so he was tutored in economics ando other such matters by private teachers, Devin failed miserably in this endeavor. HE couldn't listen to the teacher's lecture without falling asleep or quickly getting distracted and reading a book from different topics. By the time he was 18, he ran away from home never to look back; he took various jobs over a period of 3 years -drifting from city to city, continent to continent- until he joined a small group of smugglers. During that time he got into a few fights due to deals gone wrong or by getting caught into a few small conflcits with the rest of his group, gaining knowledge of urban and guerrilla warfare along with a few bits of knowledge on how to do shoddy repairs on the field.

He stayed for the next 9 years with his group of smugglers, unfortunately they were shot down as tensions escalated and Devin -with no other thing to do and wanting some payback- enlisted in the military.

Note: One clarification that I didn't know hwo to fit into the bio proper, Gabriel left his group jsut a few months prior to the conflict in the RP and enlsited a few weeks afer the death of his smuggler friends.

@Lord Coake

Thank you! Can't wait to see how this goes.

[Lord Coake]

@Mortarion Accepted, and expect a lower rank, given the recent enlistment.

[Mortarion]

@Lord Coake It's fine, was counting on that for hte idea I have for my character, thank you, cna't wait for this to start

[Lord Coake]

IC will be up as soon as the remaining CSs are in.

[TheRealCrow]

Sorry for taking so long after the interest check, I was having some trouble thinking of what character I'd want to play

Name: Tyrone Harvey
Age: 19
Gender: Male
Appearance:

Position: Marines
Personality:
-Nervous if things don't go according to plan
-Obedient, never questions authority
-Friendly and easy to get along with if you can catch him while he's calm
-No ego whatsoever, willing to adapt and be a cog in the machine
-Kind of dumb when not given orders, does what he's told and does not improvise much

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise:
-He's a very good shot, excelled in marksman training
-One of the best physical specimens coming out of basic training
-Never thinks twice about an order, would charge to his death for the mission

History:
"I'd rather you come back dead than dishonored, I hope you feel the same."

That was the last thing his loving father told him before he was sent off to basic training. Tyrone came from a military family, and his house was certainly run like it. He was always pushed to be in peak physical condition, and was taught how to handle a firearm before high school. Orders in the Harvey household were always answered with a sharp "yes sir". Tyrone never got time to explore much else besides his grueling daily routine, and as a result, he never really found himself. A young interest in poetry was shut down by his father tearing all of his work up and calling him a woman. His 2 brothers were given the same treatment, and while one is younger, his older brother, Marcus, has excelled in his time in the marines, rising through the ranks through a combination of skill and nepotism. As a result of his upbringing, there was little thrown at him in basic that he couldn't handle. Behind the scenes Tyrone would be an utter wreck after even the slightest hint of failure; he dreads the thought of not living up to his father's or brother's legacy, and tarnishing the Harvey name. All he wants is to make them proud of him. When he found out his first deployment would be aboard a starship, he knew that he would finally get his chance to really begin climbing the ranks.

[ClocktowerEchos]

Name: Unit 04-B31 Smart AI Model: C0C3, Designation "Alice"
Age: Appears to be early to mid-twenties
Gender: Female

Appearance

Position: Ship AI, self-proclaimed Supreme Benevolent Master Commander of the Convergence of Destiny
Personality:

"I advise you not "accidentally" to do that otherwise I might "accidentally" forget to recycle the Destiny's oxygen supply."

Speaking with a slight British accent, Alice often seems cynical and snarky to her crew and the ship she serves. Sarcasm is one her best talents and on occasion she'll taunt and act sadistically toward the human on board the ship. However, she still does deeply care about her crew and the ship despite her outward appearance and is kind at her heart when its not a ball of pure snark.

Like all AIs, she has ethics programing which prevents her from acting too rashly or doing anything considered inhuman and immoral. This also applies to the ships itself as she has the most power over it, basically being the ship itself. Things like shooting at a civilian vessel with civilian inside to kill some dangerous enemy officer inside does not go down with her too well and at which usually involve locking down weapon systems. However, like other AIs, she has a ethics nullification code known only by the ship's captain, vice-captain and chief engineer which is "the sin I take to lead to hell".

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise:

- Controls all on board systems systems like weapons, gravity, FTL and life support
- She can look through anyone's browsing history and find them via any of the ship's cameras meaning its best not to piss her off.
- Being an AI, she is very good at all types of games, she especially favors chess playing as black
- She can download herself into anything with enough storage capacity. She has her own "body" which is kept in the AI core room equipped with a short-range taser for self defense. She does not take it kindly if anyone tries to fool around with it.
- Has access to most military files except for the super classified intelligence
- Good at electronic warfare, but as she is designed as a ship AI not a EW AI, she can be outclassed by specialized systems.

History:

Like many AIs, Alice was based on a real human being at one point. However, she claims no recollection of her time as a human only remembering a point where she "kissed a guy". There isn't much to say about her as she lacks human memories and has spent most of her time either floating about in cyberspace or on board other vessel which not much happened (although she will tell a story on how she almost made a space station go nuclear after accidentally rerouting the reactor overload command to a toaster).

[Lord Coake]

@TheRealCrow@ClocktowerEchosBoth accepted. Crow, expect a Rank PM. IC up soon.

[Mortarion]

Hmm, might reply might take a while to appear Coake since I'll be rather busy today, but I'll try to post it today

[Lord Coake]

@MortarionIt's fine

[Mortarion]

@Lord CoakeThanks

[Tricheus]

Just wanted to know if there is a chief engineer that Kathy would answer to?

[Lord Coake]

@Tricheus Yes, so feel free to make up an NPC, and as there are multiple crew rotations, he doesn't have to be the same one as later on.

[TheRealCrow]

@TheRealCrow@ClocktowerEchosBoth accepted. Crow, expect a Rank PM. IC up soon.

@Lord Coake

sweet, thanks, Ill transfer him to the characters section

edit: Ohh and an IC is up, great

[ClocktowerEchos]

Posted again, tell me if I went too overboard with the shit I did in the post. My current brain setting is somewhere between "discount hamburger meat that shows signs of life" and "A vegetative box of stall crackers".

[TheRealCrow]

Should I change my last name from Harvey to something else? I just realized having a Harvey and a Havey might get confusing quick.
