Ah, I see the bots are back again with their nonsense posting.

Got my new sci-fi mecha RP up. Put a lot of work into the background of this one, and wrote out a whole setting

Cambozola is definitely A-Tier. It combines all the best parts of Brie with Blue Cheese, what's not to like.

Guess the mecha RP idea wasn't as popular or as interesting as I hoped it might be. Not much in the way of bites on that one so far, sadly

Bio
I've been roleplaying in one form or another since the late '90's. I've played as many tabletop games as I have online ones, and the quality of both has varied wildly.
I have an active imagination, and I love immersive, descriptive roleplaying. My genres of choice are sci-fi, and modern-day (with a sci-fi twist). I like RP's that mix reality with fiction, and throw an unusual and exciting twist into an otherwise normal setting - something like Stargate SG-1 would be an example, or Battle: Los Angeles. An almost recognizable world, but with some sci-fi twists.
I'm a fan of military and action-based RP's that do this especially, and they are easily my favourite - though I rarely see any that appeal to me enough - all the military RP's are too 'plain', and anything else modern day is usually fantasy or fandom.
I have a lot of fandoms, but I don't really like fandom RP's - or at least, the ones that come up. I often find them a bit lacking in ideas, or too far away from what actually makes the thing I'm a fan of enjoyable.
I don't play in free, as I find the short posts and bad spelling and grammar infuriating.
I'm 43 years old, and live in the UK, so I may not be on all the time.
I also like playing non-human characters, especially anthro ones. I dig giant robots, and I love military aircraft. I'm also a very dedicated and proud Brony and furry.

I decided to get the IC up and running, as we've been waiting long enough. Nothing too big to start off with, just getting everyone together and meeting up. Of course, in the best fashion, our training mission will turn into something else or otherwise be interrupted, but it seemed like a good way to get things moving right away and a plausible way to start as well.
I'll move things on as soon as everyone has made a post, or at the beginning of next week - which ever comes around first.

Murska Airbase, situated in the south of Alundvari, the southernmost country of UTFS territory was a remote place. In the middle of wide open plains, which in turn were surrounded by rolling hills on one side, and the choppy, steel-grey waves of the ocean on the other. The airbase and the small village after which it was named were the only outposts of civilization that were anything more than an isolated house or utility building for miles in any direction.
This made the base perfect for the basing of DefCom's more secretive projects, and the testing and evaluation of any number of weapon systems and equipment. As such, it was the main base for the multinational alliances' new fleet of VG-0 Variable GEARs. Individual squadrons were dispersed elsewhere, but as each new one was stood up, they did so at Murska.
The same was no less true of the Black Knights squadron, the newest unit to be formed for service with the VG-0. For its' commanding officer, the base was a familiar sight. She had spent time there as part of the test and evaluation team for the VG-0, and had graduated to a position in command of one of its' field units. It was her first time in command, and while she had read all of the files and dossiers on her new squadron, and observed them in flight or even seen them around the base, she had yet to meet them in person or spend any length of time with them. Today would be the first day they'd begin operations together as an official unit.
Diane stood inside one of the bases' bombproof hangars, the autumn wind gusting across the plains and rolling through the airbase stirring her fur and hair, and chasing steel-grey clouds across the sky above. Behind her, the squadrons' VG-0's were arrayed around the hangar, gleaming and pristine as they waited for their new pilots.
Pacing back and forth, the bovine fiddled with the cuffs of her uniform nervously, muttering to herself as she glanced up at the sky, toward the airfield apron, and back into the hangar in turn.
"No big deal," she muttered, squinting out into the blustery mid-morning. "Meeting your new squadron for the first time properly, being a commanding officer, taking them on a first training mission; should be a piece of cake. What problems could there be? All you've got to do is remember all of the training you've had, right now, be strict, but not too strict, get them to listen to you, and hopefully like you, and still respect you. Not at all like juggling a hundred different concepts or ideas or anything like an impossible task..."
She palmed her face and gave a groan, before sighing and setting her jaw.
"It's fine," she said with a firmer tone and a nod of her head, smoothing one hand over her long hair. "You can do this!"
Returning to the center of the semicircle of parked VG-0's, she forced herself into a more relaxed posture, forcing her hooves to stay still on the cement floor of the hangar, and waited, the breeze stirring her hair lightly and ruffling her uniform.
Her PADD pinged a notification; 11am - time for the briefing; her pilots ought to start arriving right now...

The bios and service records are fine to me. If you want to work on them, then you can. But from my perspective, they're fine. It doesn't need to be overly elaborate, just enough to give an impression. It's best not to make it too detailed anyway, as there'll be bits you'll probably want to fill in during the game with talking to other characters and as things happen or you get new and interesting ideas. I certainly did that in mine.
Just waiting for @VyperPunk to finish her character off, or confirm that they're ready. Then I'll get an IC up.

But I'm expecting to just get rejected.
Why? There's nothing wrong with either of them at the moment. They're both fine characters for the game; even their bios and service records are okay, but if you want to work on them a bit more then that's fine too.
Not sure why you think I would have rejected them?
Any idea when we will start the IC?
What Slypheed said, and also when I'm back from holiday; I'm coming back tomorrow though.

What a coinkydink. My character will be joined by a co-pilot.
That's good, I was hoping we'd have at least one VF-0D in the group to add a bit of variety and flexibility.
One of the things I quite want to emphasise and pick up on as we go is that a lot of our equipment is quite new and just out of testing, so it might not always work, and will end up with modifications in the field - so, we'll all start out with mostly the same gear and equipment, but pick things up and end up with our own more indvidualised modifications as the story goes along, and we change to new situations.
Man, sorry I disappeared for a few. Have some major IRL decisions to make and it's really stressful. That being said, I'm still in this. Really sorry for disappearing. I'll work on my bio a bit more :)
Look forward to seeing an IC.
Glad you're back, and it's okay; hope you worked out/are working out whatever needs to be done and it all turns out ok.
Your character is looking great already, I don't forsee any problems with him.
With Vyper back with us, and Slypheed as well, that brings the roster up to six, which, deep joy, is the maximum number. The only way we can get more in now is if someone already in wants a co-pilot.
I'll mark the game as closed for applications, and once everyone's characters are up, I'll get the IC started.

I've had some GMs in the past that were picky on aspects like that.
You should know me better than that by now, dear :P
@Silverwind BladeI've finished my character. Let me know if there is anything you want me to change :)
He looks fine, feel free to post him into the characters tab, and I'll update the pinned post with his rank and such.
Is the pic on my character sheet working now?
@Silverwind Blade
The picture of your character in the characters tab is missing/not working.
That's weird, because I can see it fine on my laptop o.O
FurAffinity is weird about image links, it might be because of logins, etc.
I've changed the image source to flickr instead. Hopefully that will resolve it. If not, I'll use an alternate picture and change her description a bit.
EDIT:
Also, Thomas looks fine to me, no problems with him so far at all.
I like the Pink Floyd references a lot, I'm a fan of their music
