⚫ GBA - Space Hunt

Having missed the IC, I nonetheless want to post my interest here as this concept is a lot of fun (mutants in space is cool).

Shadows of Steel - An Ace Combat inspired Fighter Jet RP

I'll toss an appearance in later today!

Shadows of Steel - An Ace Combat inspired Fighter Jet RP

I'm just tinkering in the backgrounds as my weeks are pretty busy right now, but you may have a point in terms of overall interest.

Either way I'm happy to go full speed with this sooner or to shelve it for later.

Serpent's Snag-A Supernatural Western

With a heavy heart, I must unfortunately say nay.

Although I remain highly interested in this RP, I've sort of lost the thread of what I was trying or interested in writing.

Best of luck though!

Veritas Lux Mea

Teg moved to rise, nearly managing a graceful stumble to the floor before she caught herself. She felt weak. She felt slow. And she didn't like either feeling. Despite the advice of the good doctor she knew that there was really only one solution to her problems. She needed something to drink. A bottle. At least a bottle. She had new nightmares to forget. New visions of her own mortality that she had to bury beneath the bodies of countless brave neurons. Unspoken was her irritation at her own clumsiness. There was no room for mistakes in battle. She'd gotten lucky. She'd gotten lucky again.

"Can't wait for for one hundred percent Doc, I've got pirates to murder," Teg said with another rasp that turned into a convulsing cough as she fought a losing battle against with the oxygen mask. It refused to come off and she finally accepted that her escape would have to wait with a weary sigh.

"Maybe, maybe I'll just rest for a little bit," the mercenary finally said, sighing again as her eyes slowly fluttered and she fell into a peaceful sleep.

Downfall.

The "evil leader doing good through pragmatism" is a fun angle and the setup reminds me a bit of Ari Marmell (Goblin Corps and the The Conqueror's Shadow are all about evil leaders actually not being that evil).

To clarify, are you looking for people to write the heroes that are being "used" (perhaps to varying degrees and knowledge on their part) by said bar maid? Or are you looking for players willing to focus on world building? Or both?

Edit: Oops, thought I was posting in Advanced. My bad.

Shadows of Steel - An Ace Combat inspired Fighter Jet RP

Current WIP pending some checks with the GM (so mostly happy with it, just might need some tweaking).

Still have to sort out appearance though, so stay tuned.

Here's what I have so far:

Peregrine

Name: Alexandra Saetang
Nickname: Sassa
Call Sign: Peregrine
Age: 25
Gender: Female
Nationality: Swedish
Appearance:
Personality: Steeped in ancient philosophy and her books, Sassa is a Zen Buddhist mystic moonlighting as a fighter pilot. She flies through the indigo skies effortlessly, a feather gently drifting in the winds of life, and stoically accepts her place as a merciless weapon of war.

A talented pilot, Sassa controls her plane effortlessly and has a knack for making incredible shots, be it with her cannons or missiles. While she is assuredly recognized in the squadron for her aggressiveness, she is not foolhardy, and risks only enough to accomplish the mission.

Unburdened by her own acts of violence, Sassa has managed to separate her persona as the ace pilot Peregrine from her persona as Sassa the person. She is friendly, if a bit reserved, and is amicable in most social situations. Far from a loner, she nonetheless take care to spend time by herself and if left unattended she is likely to bury her face in a book or contemplation of the mysteries of life.

Personal History:

Alexandra Seatang was born to a Swedish mother and Thai father in Umeå, Sweden, on December 15th, 20XX. The child of two cultures, she grew up with a love of flying, guided by her father, a former Royal Thai Air Force fighter pilot into acquiring her civilian pilot license and then her airline transport pilot license.

A burgeoning career in the transportation industry was forestalled in 20XX, when she was called up for military service as a result of a decision by the Swedish government to reactive military conscription. In light of her civilian flying experience, Sassa was selected for officer training and shipped off to the Skaraborg Air Force Wing (F 7) located at Såtenäs. There she complete flight school and was trained on the JAS 39 Gripen. In line with standard Swedish Air Force policy, she was soon after posted to the operational wing of Blekinge Air Force Wing (F 17), near Ronneby in Southern Sweden.

As tensions began to rise in the North, Sassa was transferred to the ad-hoc Gotland Air Force Wing (F 22). The formation of F 22 represented a desperate attempt by the Swedish government to counter growing unrest in the Baltic and the increasing threat that Elysium had begun to pose to PGA interests. Operating from a hastily restored Bunge Air Force Base, F 22 pilots flew Saab AJS Viggen fighter aircraft that had been rapidly restored to combat condition after an extensive period of mothballing. Promoted to Löjtnant (Lieutenant) and assigned command of her own two element flight, Sassa celebrated by painting her Saab AJS Viggen (s/n 37099) a bright red.

The paint on her Viggen had barely dried when F 22 was scrambled to defend the island from an Elysium backed naval invasion. The so-called "Gotland War" lasted for no more than fourteen days but saw frantic fighting as the underequipped and undermanned Swedish Armed Forces sought to stave off defeat long enough for PGA reinforcements to arrive. Fighting above the waves, Sassa earned a fearsome reputation and intercepted communications from Elysium pilots mention a red painted Viggen hunting their aircraft across the skies of the Baltic. Sassa would be an ace twice over before the conflict ended.

Although ultimately successful in repulsing the naval invasion, F 22 would suffer catastrophic casualties, losing 20 out of 24 aircraft and half as many pilots. As a result the fight wing was disbanded and Sassa was transferred back to F 17.

Along with the rest of F 17 she participated n PGA led peacekeeping efforts in Central Europe. She performed well under the rough winter conditions that prevailed following the Cataclysm. Shadowing friendly forces as they moved ever eastwards, Sassa helped protect PGA ground forces from hostile aircraft as they targeted secessionist elements trying to reform the former Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia.

Following a brief R & R in Sweden, Sassa was recently reassigned to Shadow Flight.

Aircraft: Sassa flies a red painted Saab AJS 37 Viggen. A STOL multirole aircraft, Sassa's Viggen is a souped up Cold War era special stuffed to the brim with enough new weapons, avionics, and software, as well as a new state-of-the-art engine so that it can compete with more modern fighter aircraft.

Love all the posts so far, excited to see what happens next.

If there's a Viggen on offer, then you've got a deal.

I can finally use my family's obsession with airplanes to my advantage and the early Viggen is gorgeous.

Most importantly I choose this color/paint scheme (assuming my writing is up to snuff of course):

Serpent's Snag-A Supernatural Western

Maybe? It's character stuff that Rapid needs

@PrankFox

I can always just write things up so that Madame Zubova's reply to the searching vampire is something vague (suggesting she doesn't know, saying she doesn't know and needs some time to find out, etc.). That gives Rekker an easy way to launch into things if they want when they return.

I'm just wary of making any decisions about Rose given her importance to Rekker's character's background.
