Star Wars: Raptor Squadron

I'm quite interested, as my favourite bit of Star Wars has always been starfighters. I'm not the most au fait with Star Wars lore however; I've seen the movies and I love the Mandalorian, but I'm not too involved heavily in the deeper bits and aspects of it especially. Also, I might have a lot on my plate already - I'd like to come up with a character and throw my hat into the ring though, just letting you know in advance though, if I end up withdrawing.
I'll have to do a bit of research to get some ideas of who/what I want to play and what fighter I'd like to pilot, but the idea is quite appealing to my sensibilities.

GEARS: Silent Line - The Silver Bullet (Silverwind Blade & KingKonrad)

Silver paused at the base of the ramp, his tail curling back and forth in thought, and he gave an amicable shrug with a smile and nodded. "Well, sure - sounds like a good time to me."
At that, Cat nodded as well, spreading her hands, palms up. "Aye, count me in too. I've no been here before, and sticking with company seems like the best idea to me. Let's go see the sights then!"

Silver allowed someone else to lead the way for once, letting Max take the lead after ensuring their gear was secured with the rest of the units' equipment. It didn't take long to rustle up some transportation, and the fox leant back in the rear seat of their procured vehicle with Cat next to him in the reat seat as they made their way off the base.

I didn't know there was a thread for this. lol

@The Ghost Note

I did post it in the interest check xD but hey, no worries!

@Rapid Reader

Looks good so far!

Fighter Jets, Action, Adventure and Sci-Fi - Looking for players.

Bump. Still looking for players! Haven't started yet at all.
@The Ghost Note, are you still interested?

Shadows of Steel - An Ace Combat inspired Fighter Jet RP

Looks like we're not getting any other characters, which is a shame. Since it's only the two of us, I'm not sure if it's worth continuing as a 1x1 if that's something you're interested in, or putting it on ice and trying again later.
I'll bump the Int Check to see if I can shake out any more players.

Cat listened patiently and with interest, taking in what Anna had to say with personal interest. She could tell this was a rare moment for the jaguar to open up, and treated it as such without interrupting. She gave a smile as the smaller, slimmer woman touched on her friendship with Max, much as she had done with her own with Silver, and nodded in understanding. As she answered her remark, she chuckled and turned back to her own pebble as Anna did the same.

It was hours later when the transport prepared for landing, the announcement coming from the loadmaster. Once again, they strapped in as the pitch of the engines changed and the aircraft rumbled as its' landing gear extended. Noises issued from all around as the aircraft dropped through the air in a graceful, controlled descent into thicker air and toward the ground, and as the big, sleek stealth transport kissed the runway, the noise was too intense for conversation. It died down soon after as the plane turned off the runway and moved to a parking position, the noise dying down to a shrill scream of idling powerplants, and the loadmaster checked them off to disembark, the ramp cracking open and lowering with a grinding whine of hydralics and opening to a fresh breeze tinged with the scents of hot metal and burnt fuel from the airbase outside.
"Welcome to Faeranel, boys and girls," Silverwind said as he stood and shrugged his pack onto his shoulders. "The tech support team will take care of off-loading out GEARs and fitting them out for the mission. We have about-" he checked his pebble, which had automatically synced up to local time "-Four hours before nightfall, and another two before we launch. Enough time for us all to get adjusted. Yer all free to go take in the local sights, whatever they may be, as long as we're back here in time fer final briefin' and last checks one hour before take off. No drinkin' this time, I'm afraid; save that fer afterwards. But get some chow somewhere that ain't a mess hall, but yerselves some souveneirs, and stretch yer legs after bein' cooped up in this tin can for the last while".
He nodded to them all and headed down the ramp into the brightness of the early afternoon sunshine.

Gundam Multiverse - Those Who Correct

Matt had moved his mobile suit closer, getting within visual distance of the other mobile suits. As he'd kept watch on his sensors, closing the distance, he'd been alarmed to see another machine take the field. All of them had converged though there seemed to be no shooting going on. And there was a ship, too!
The closer he got, the more details he could make out. And to his eye, the suits looked... familiar. Not ones he recognised completely, but they had a certain Gundam-ness to them, but of no make nor model he recognised. And similarly, the ship reminded him of the Pegasus-class carriers from the One-Year War and after, but it was larger, sleeker, and looked more advanced. None of the mobile suits or the ship were transmitting any kind of IFF that he recognised either.
He drew himself to a stop within range of his weapons, but not so close that he couldn't move away should things go south; despite the fact they outnumbered him, and looked all-too well-armed. Radio chatter flew back and forth - and, surprisingly to him, there seemed to be no Minovsky Particle interference at all. Rolling the dice, he broadcast on an open frequency after listening for a few moments.
"Attention unidentified mobile suits," he said cautiously, but with a firm voice. "I am Major Matthew Fox of the Earth Federation Forces. I mean no harm or ill intent. Can you identify yourselves, or this place?"

@CaptainBritton

Wes is approved! Really like him and the detail put in :) Also excellent work on the F-14X, that's exactly the kind of thing I had in mind.

GEARS: Silent Line - The Silver Bullet (Silverwind Blade & KingKonrad)

Cat had been tapping through tabs on her pebble, absorbed in catching up on correspondence with family and friends and news from the greater world outside of the bubble of special operations life when Anna approached. As the dark-furred feline spoke, she shut the device down and listened up as the normally taciturn jaguar awkwardly got her words out. She listened attentively, long bovine ears twitching toward Anna as she spoke, and when the smaller woman offered out a paw, she gently took it in both of her own huge hands and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
"Oh lass," she said warmly and with a soft smile on her angular muzzle. "We all end up in shite stupid situations because of what we do". She shook her head and looked away, past the walls of the transports cavernous bay for a moment. "If I had of died, then I'd have rather it been fer someone else an' because it was doin' something I gave a shite about, than at home in bed too old to remember what I had fer breakfast". She looked back to the Jaguar, lookin into her eyes and the smile still on her muzzle. "This life we chose, runnin' around the world and sneakin' about to make sure other people are safe in bed at night. It's no a friendly one, nor one where we get tae make many friends. But the ones we do have are each other". She looked over at the pair of men, both sound asleep. Silverwind's usually dignified demeanour was betrayed by his sleep; head lolled back and muzzle wide open with his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. She smirked at the sight and grinned at the pair of them. "Those two are probbly too proud tae say much about it, but I'd consider them me friends too, and I know Silver would drag his balls across hot coals fer any of us." She shook her head. "I don't mean to make it sound less than it was, but doing what I did for you, I just see that as what's the right thing to do" she gave a simple shrug of her huge shoulders. "And fer the record, it's worth a lot," she answered, in response to her comment about the pebble, before giving a slight smirk. "Though, you might want tae reconsider once I start callin' ye at three in the mornin' drunk and cryin' down the line at yeh because I cannae find mah own hooves".

There absolutely is a Viggen on offer - I've always been a fan of it myself, and I had to include it. I almost included the Draken as well, and only didn't at the last minute.

You're very welcome to join, and custom colour schemes are very much encouraged. And I'm sure your writing will be more than fine :)
