Highly interested! Still taking in all the information but I've read the key points of the plot and GM announcements. I'll start working on a character sheet this weekend, and I'll hopefully have that up sometime Monday.

Playing a gun-for-hire sounds fun, and I've had an itch for sci-fi recently so you can count me in. Can we create our own races, is this a strictly human crew, or should I just be patient and wait for the OOC to come out for more info?
I don't think @Vox has posted yet?
EDIT: And if things are going a little slow it might be a good idea to push things along ourselves in our future posts. Maybe send out a PM to the GM's to discuss which direction to take if you end up lost, just for the sake of keeping things moving and fluid.

On a serious note, @Prisk, @Redrum, @Ozerath, @Hexaflexagon, do y'all mind splitting up and coming up with our own NPC rumours and fun times and meet up after we each post, or do y'all wanna stay together?
I'd be open to doing either! Also, sorry about not involving Roxelana in my post, @Hexaflexagon -- went ahead and added her in now. I hadn't realized she was coming along until Vox said something.
OAKRIDGE ACADEMY ◆ Subira Arendse ◆ Oakridge Airfield
The sassy reply to her own snarky comment had brought a surprised look to Subira's face, her eyebrows raising as she tugged her sunglasses down the bridge of her nose. Dark eyes narrowed almost threateningly at Jack, but the growing smirk made it obvious she hadn't taken his reply offensively. Instead of pushing the joking any further Subira's smirk fell to a small smile as she kept her cool. Wanting to retain the seriousness of the situation she pushed her sunglasses back up, before giving him a small shrug, "The usual. Spent some time in the gym and even more time in the simulator." That had been her routine the past week, apart from her visit with her parents the day after graduation. Consuming herself in training she had unintentionally isolated herself from others, even turning down Jack's invite to go to the send off party. "I'll go to the next party, though. I promise."
Aware of Selene only because she knew of Olivia, Subira hardly gave any reaction to the other girls relatively rude reply as she continued her conversation with Jack. It wasn't long before the flight crew called for boarding, bringing back all of her earlier excitement and hype that had died down when she started talking with Jack. Just about to follow the small crew of Soldiers coming with them to Kinabalu, a familiar voice caught her attention as she found herself staring up at none other than Thael Conrad.
"Hey, what a surprise."
While Thael had been apart of the original discussion, Subira could recall a conversation they had about their interest in joining the Army at the heart of the Dark Zone. "So much for fighting the front-lines, huh?" She was in the same boat, having changed her mind not but two days ago. Throwing out another shrug, Subira flashed Thael a small smile. "Well, it's good to have you -- and you made it right on time, too." Motioning for him to follow with a wave of her hand, Subira boarded the aircraft with her team. The time had finally come to begin Operation Downfall, and despite the calm expression on her face she was more then ready to get things started. "Here we go."
MT. KINABALU ◆ Subira Arendse ◆ Sidio Village Outskirts
The ride to their drop off location had gone well, save for turbulence here and their as they flew into the storm looming above Mt. Kinabalu. Given a short briefing on the flight, Subira and the rest her team were to investigate the rumors within town and gain as much intel as they could. Once they had the information they needed to locate the Eidolon they were given three options: "Lead it to the Mordrem away from the Army, form an alliance with it, or destroy it." Absorbing the beast and the spirits within it was her true intention, but taking it on and destroying it would be an equally great feat. Fist clenching eagerly, she shot a glance at Jack, Thael, Roxelana, and Selene as they arrived at the base. Today would be a true test of their skill, going into their first mission with free reign and little authority. It was both exciting and terrifying at the same time, but with a team like this at her side, Subira stayed confident as ever.
The soldiers were dispatched first, walking out onto the grassy clearing and forming a perimeter for base camp. Following behind them, Subira stepped out of the quad-copter and took in the scenery around her. At the base of the mountain a dense forest of trees and greenery surrounded them while Mt. Kinabalu loomed above. Towering over like a monster in its own, dark clouds threatened to unleash hell on her unit at any second. A heavy breeze swept through her hair and clothing, pulling warm humid air and the salty smell of the ocean with it. Subira felt a wave of nostalgia wash over her as she took in the familiar scent. It was too early in the year for the region to be experiencing such warm weather, but the environment made her feel more at home and comfortable then ever.
Adjusting her sunglasses she turned her sights to the dirt path leading to Sidio Village, the town located next to Mt. Kinabalu. It was through their sightings that Oakridge had gained their intel, so it was obvious that their first step to finding and defeating the Eidolon would be to question the locals. Rolling up the sleeves of her jacket due to the heat, Subira turned around and fixed her gaze on her team, "So, should we get things started and head to the Village?"

I'll wait for your post @Ozerath, that way I can involve Thael showing up with the rest of the group and avoid any loose strings in my post.
Half way through my post, work kept me busy yesterday so I wasn't able to finish it up like I would have liked.

I'll try to have a post up tonight, if not I'll get something up by tomorrow!
Sounds interesting! Haven't watched SAO before though, but I'm very familiar with the "stuck-in-game" plotline.
