The Galactic Ocean

LOL at ori's last post!!

The Galactic Ocean

Hey late to the OOC party but Silas would most definately be more suited for ground combat. He can make them ultra long distance kills. Also I love everyones characters so far. I must also mention I'm super new to roleplaying. As in so new this is my first one on a forum. I have only previously roleplayed in person with friends. So never had to type anything out. Feel free to give me some pointers. :)

Came from Reddit

Hey thanks for joining up! I hope you have fun here. I'm pretty new as well. I hope you enjoy our roleplay too.

The Galactic Ocean

Silas listened to what his superior officer had to say and decided his judgement was pretty sound on his choice of pilots. Having done a bit of reading up on a few of his squadmates he could only think of one other besides himself who could fly. That scar face fellow named Pask. Just then Oliveia spoke up and she - or "it" decided that Rose would be best suited to piloting the ship. Silas grinned when she mentioned sighting off each reference but held back any laughter. He stood up from his chair and moved to the position of parade rest before speaking as was common courtesy to do before speaking to a superior officer. "Sir, I am in agreement with Oliveia. She seems to have all the information we need in terms of who should be chosen." Silas put special emphasis on the word she. He didn't mean to say it that way. He doesn't want to insult anyone. He returned his gaze to Lex. "I'd be more than capable of providing assistance with the ships weapon systems. Although, I strongly prefer combat to remain on the ground sir." Silas remained standing awaiting his squads reaction to what has been said. He kept trying to convince himself that working with a group wouldn't be so bad. He would just have to adapt. Realizing he was still standing at parade rest he snapped back to attention just as he had done so many times before and returned to sitting.

Hey everyone! I'm making a Skype chat for the roleplay for those who are interested. That way we can talk to each other in a quicker way. The roleplaying of course will still be done here. Let me know if you are interested.

Silas sat in his chair next to the pretty blonde who he purposefully chose to sit by. He watched the man who would be his Captain get shoved into the room. Given his military background he wasn't used to seeing superiors getting treated this way, but he knew that this time it was different. This wasn't a group of disciplined military personnel and he would just have to get used to things being different. He listened intently to the Vice Admiral as he gave his speech every now and then glancing at the others in the room to make sure they were paying attention as well. He was trained to always look out his for fellow soldiers and so it was a force of habit for him to pay attention to even the small details in a situation. He waited until after the speech and everyone gave their introductions before he decided to speak up. He was also very surprised to find that the blonde he sat by was not human. She just seemed lost in thought. He didn't think anything else about her blank look. Silas not one for introductions stood up and introduced himself. "Hello everyone. My name is Silas Shaw. I am looking forward to working with everyone here." He returned to sitting. His introduction a bit bland but it was simple. He didn't feel the need to flaunt his background or brag about his abilities. He assumed most of everyone will probably read up on each other as he intended to do as well. His mind was on the mission. And he was excited to be back to doing something. Being a civilian again was killing him anyways. He took one more look at everyone in the room with him and then down at his ankle bracelet. Maybe being framed wasn't such a bad thing. It got him back into doing what he does best. This is home now. And strangely he was no longer apprehensive about being here anymore.

Hand picked for a special military program code-named Dark Matter. Silas went through 2 years of hardcore training. He learned a variety of skills from survival in harsh climates to assassination techniques. Since war hasn't been prevalent in many years Silas's skills were used for secret missions. The majority of his missions were killing obscure targets or even political targets without leaving evidence. He did this for six years. After retiring Silas was placed into a protection program to keep him safe from any who would figure out his past. Soon after Silas's retirement he was spending time in a bar with friends when a bar fight broke out. While protecting his friends he got in a fight with a rich college kid and hurt him badly. His father had connections. Using those connections the family of the kid framed Silas for a murder.

Image: Name: Everest Mason Parker Age: 21 Personality: A bit socially awkward. Mostly independent. Plays mostly off of his emotions. Background: Everest is the son of a wealthy family. He didn't have the best experience in high school growing up. He was considered the nerdy kid in class. (Because he was open about a love of video games) Everest had a rough home life. His parents were not very involved in raising him. They were more likely to buy him something to get him out of their hair then to actually mentor him. Same goes for his little sister Lily. After high school, Everest attended the local community college. He began pursuing a degree in music production. He also got a job at Gamestop. Everest was at work when everything happened. He came home to an empty house with no sign of where anyone went. He grabbed what he could and left. Items: Everest was able to grab a survival knife his father got him for his birthday one year. He has never really used it. It was part of a survival kit. He never thought it would come in handy until now. Inside the rest of the kit: Two life straw water filters, 10 waterproof matches, emergency led headlamp, emergency radio. His school backpack to carry everything. Smartphone, charger, 3 bottles of water, and 10 cans of spaghettios. His favorite book: Looking For Alaska by John Greene. And one change of clothes. Skills: Speed running video games, easing tension, playing music.
