[Mcmolly]

So what's the next step from here?

[LHG100]

I'm making a post today, why?

Edit: Fucking christ i'm a failure, I can't write at 8 when I get up at 5, this is ridiculous.

[Mcmolly]

Just curious! Wasn't sure if there was a plan or if we were grouping up again.

[Letter Bee]

Can I join, if the RP is still running?

@Letter Bee

We're looking for a group of new players, actually.

Cool! Will write up a character sheet within the day.

Name Alexander Sky

Appearance

Picture

Age 24

Personality Alexander is embittered and cynical, as well as someone who feels guilt over crimes he committed in his old life, back when he was brainwashed - said crimes involve sending a 16-year old pilot to be tortured and enslaved just after his first mission, an action repeated many times in his career as a corporate slave. Even now, he is skeptical of New Anchorage's intentions, as well as its prospects of being a world power; he can see how power can corrupt even the most well-meaning, as well as the odds stacked against the settlement. However, he resents the corporations, especially Red-Star, more, and is willing to work for New Anchorage because it really is a better alternative.

Backstory Alexander Sky's parents were Europeans from Paragon or Volkov who had been captured by Red-Star in inter-corporate struggles, and enslaved (not that they weren't slaves already). Forced to breed in captivity, they concieved Alexander, who, from a young age, was, yes, precociously intelligent, but also obedient, with a submissiveness enhanced through brainwashing that began from a young age (six or so). He was taught that he was an inferior being due to his European origins as well as his parents' prior opposition to Red-Star, and that the only way he can make up for his inferiority is to obey his masters in all things, including piloting an NC one day against the enemies of Red-Star.

One day, he got that chance, being given an NC called the Phoenix, which he customized to his specifications; his first taste of freedom. Piloting it through several missions where he served the Red-Star faithfully, capturing many pilots to share his fate of enslavement, while at the same time...doubt grew in his mind, doubt that he was doing the right thing. Even 'remedial' brainwashing seemed to delay the onset of the doubts only slightly, but as his successes grew, Red-Star decided to use Alexander for as long as possible, then kill him once he was no longer useful and take his mech to give to another. But not even they can count on the speed with which their 'pet' pilot just...snapped.

One day, on one of his last solo missions, a solo mission intended to be a suicide operation, Alexander vanished. His tracking devices just no longer worked, his mech no longer sent in comms, to everyone, the only proof that he wasn't dead were the fact that they never found the mech or his corpse, as well as a message of apology he sent his former Operator, a message that said:

I am sorry, but I realize now, that I cannot be a slave anymore, that freedom and independence, although they carry risks, are sweet for those who would hold on to them. That I no longer want to serve Red-Star and make war for them. I want to fight for myself now, no one else. You have been a kinder person than my other masters, but I want no master now, no one to bind me.

Rumors would appear of Alexander acting as an Independent, attacking Red-Star assets as a mercenary. In time, however, his first true concrete appearance would be at New Anchorage, offering his services as a pilot in exchange for sanctuary...

Weakest Skills Making important decisions on his own, long-term planning, impulse and emotional control.

Strongest Skills Piloting NCs, History, Chinese, Japanese, and English, as well as First Aid and some Physical Combat and Firearms.

Notes Alexander is Bisexual, but this will be rarely explored, as this is an Action RP.

Text Color Default.

Alright, sorry about the horribleness of the latest post but y'know whatever. Anyway, @Letter Bee, digging your app, I approve of it and I'll tell you when you can enter the RP fam.

[Mcmolly]

@LHG100Post actually brings up an interesting point! What exactly do these old model plugs look like?

[LHG100]

Ayyo, I allowed Letter Bee to post a 'flashback' scene, not sure how i'm going to introduce him, but we decided it'd be cool if he posted that so everyone can get an idea on who Alex is before he even gets properly introduced.

Edit: In addition, neural plugs are varied but they all connect the same way. The 'New-Anchorage' plugs are very simplistic and jut out more then usual compared to the neck, but most corporate plugs are more flush in and blend with the neck instead, although are still notable. Either way, you can tell if a guy has a plug or not, y'know?

There we go, have Eli freaking out about little things <D

@Mcmolly

What is Elizabeth's dispute with her superior?

[Mcmolly]

@Letter Bee
No explicit dispute, but there was a recent and sudden change in command, which isn't something she's used to.
