Hi reworked my cs.

Arica Smith

Name: Arica Smith

Rank: Lieutenant/Navigation Officer

Age: 28

Sex: Female

Appearance:

Height: 5'4

Weight: 10stone 1

Known Medical conditions: Weakened immune system, low bone and muscle density.

Bio: Arica comes from a family who for generations have worked and lived on their freighters. Never setting foot on a planet they just ship cargo from one space station to the next. Most of the time the only people you have for company is your family which makes a lot of people go a bit odd. When Arica was twenty her family ended up not being able to support the costs of running their ship so they sold out to a large cooperation. Her parents managed to get jobs with the company but Arica unfortunately was not offered a job. When she looked around some other freighter companies they either weren't hiring or they couldn't pay Arica what she believed was a fair wage for her work. Eventually Arica went to a military recruitment centre were she heard they were looking for experienced spacers. When she arrived she was quickly seen to being given a talk about how great the pay was and the medical care provided. It was all rather tempting and Arica signed the forms to join the military never once thinking about the likelihood she might die. After all the military was very good at giving of the impression it was invulnerable. The next few years of Arica's life was spent at a military academy so they could train her for war.

How you got here: Arica was at the helm during the battle steering the ship as best she could to avoid incoming fire and wreckage. Has been serving on board the Hanson for about a year.

Nevermind, it is completed.

Drake

Name: Erren Drake, or just Drake

Rank: Head of Communication and Negotiation

Age: 24

Sex: Male

Appearance:

Appearance

Height: 6'1

Weight: 164 Ib

Known Medical conditions: Drake tends to get very nervous, and often stutters or punctuates speech with “uhh” so that he doesn't have to speak. He also has a slight inferiority complex, and will often say things like “if you want”, or “ if you please”, etc. He has also been known, on very rare occasions, to have panic attacks.

He also has a cybernetic arm where his other was amputated due to his own stupidity.

Bio: Erren was born into a family of spacecraft officers and pilots, all who had great reputations and experiences. Since he was born, he always wanted to become someone like them or greater, constantly studying everything he could till the day he could become someone like them. But, since he could speak or feel emotion, he always had problems with speech and anxiety, to the point where in some cases he couldn't speak. His parents tried to get him some help, in an attempt to help him overcome his nervous disposition in social situations, but nothing seemed to work. When he started training to become a member of ESS Hanson, or any spaceship, he had his arm crushed whilst trying to help some people lift something. He had to have it amputated, and now has a cybernetic replacement.

Fast forward, and he has managed to become a member of the ESS Hanson as their communications after he got over the worst of his disposition. He still talks as he used to, but he is now able to talk without stuttering on every word.

How you got here: Drake was aboard trying to receive clear passage through the space without being shot to hell, or to at least land on any nearby planet/moon that would shield them from the worst of the battle.

Good job! I am pleased to see the team a-whole. You are all granted to post your CS and ready yourselves for today night when I will post. (That is relative to GMT +1 )

[Zetsuko]

[6slyboy6]

@Zetsuko
Haha yea lol, sry for that. Its just gonna be like th and ch with my other character XD
I am going to fix it

[datadogie]

Also a bit confused as to where the speech is, since all I see are random dashes rather than speech marks. *Shrug*

Jeesh, I was just thinking to myself, "Hm, 3am, I can post without having to edit because it'd too late for anyone else to post before me." My big mistake.

[6slyboy6]

@datadogie Yeah well, we all write differently.

And I dare to say I love all the posts so far. It really goes and makes you beleive you are on a sinking ship. I am currently making a map for the PDA for all to see.

[datadogie]

-Is jumping up and down with anticipation over the next post-

[6slyboy6]

@datadogie Yeah, me too. Acually who should be posting now? Is it Cinderella?

[datadogie]

-Shrugs- We should just post over eachother a few times. I mean, some people may get knocked out temporarily by the fact there was little oxygen for a few moments.

[6slyboy6]

Okay then I will post now.

[Cinderella Man]

I finally posted! .w.

[RhineQueen]

@6slyboy6
Hey dude, as much as we all write differently, the rules of grammar are there for a reason. Quotes for speech, start a new paragraph for a new speaker. Cause I am having a really hard time reading your posts.

[boomlover]

So eh i think its alright my character can have a sidearm with him right?

[6slyboy6]

@RhineQueen Geez. Okay then, sorry for the commotion. With all due respect, I have read many books this week, and wrote on my blog, and both sources write the way I did. But as you wish, shoulf I add quotes to the speech? Or do you prefer I entirely change how I write here? Also my latest text decided to go rouge. It was nicely formatted but for some reason it ended up like this. Lately my PC has been doing weird shit, not to mention it just got repaired...

[RhineQueen]

@6slyboy6
Just denote the speech with quotes is all. Also, I'm curious which books you read that have that. What are their titles? I'd like to look them up and see their syntax.

[boomlover]

@RhineQueen isn't that a bit short of a post?

[RhineQueen]

@boomlover
There isn't much to be said there? Besides, it's an action scene so it's supposed to be punchy. Do you expect me to write a massive exposition that she's pissed when her actions and expressions clearly show that?
