~"A boy once asked me why I fight. I could have filled his head with stories and philosophical excuses for the reasons why. But when I looked at him, I smiled and responded; "Because I can"~

Alicia followed the captain into the shop, "I think I'll join you. After all I'll be needing a sword or two for myself if I plan to hold true to my promises" she said before she'd move into the shop behind Runali. The place presented itself in the same way that you usually see on most islands; the expensive swords held behind the counter and locked in cabinets while the cheaper ones stood together in barrels of varying grades and it was those swords that Alicia was more interested in. Sure she could probably afford one of the more expensive and exotic swords but to wield something such as that after the previous happenings would leave an undesired taste in her mouth. No, she needed training swords, swords which would break and strain under consistent use and only once she learned all that she needed would she allow herself to wield something more.

Alicia checked for a few swords, taking them out and partly revealing the blade from it's Saya to check it's condition. Eventually she pulled two from the barrel, taking them over to the counter before purchasing them with the money she'd earned from her tournament win on Utsukushī. She still had allot left over considering the price of the swords, but she'd save that for a time for when they'd need money for something important. It was strange to think of the journey which lay ahead of her and the thought of spending so much time as apart of a pirate crew. But this was her path now, the one she must walk in order to reach her new goal and continue on to become like the other great masters, and become legend.

When she reached the ship she hesitated for a moment, the feeling of leaving her families history behind weighing heavily on her mind. She exhaled deeply, taking another step before noticing Nolan who asked how she was, "I'm... better" she replied before giving a smile, "Thank you" she said before turning to take a look back at the island. The two swords she'd bought now were tied next to the Saya of her destroyed sword which she'd decided to keep there, at least for now. Alicia watched the island for a little longer, her hair gently carried by the soft breeze before she turned as Runali gave the order to set off. Without a word she began to secure the ropes and help prepare the ship for sale, noticing Runali wasn't wearing her hat after securing the first rope. She gave a small smile to the captain before carrying on, "I'll take the watch for tonight" she'd announce while working.

She didn't give her reasons for why or for what her reasoning was, but while the crew were asleep it would be nice to have the space, peace and quiet to begin her new training. It'd take her a long time to achieve that which she desired, but the journey towards the power of destruction was not something which could be taken lightly or achieved with speed or ease. No, the road ahead would be filled with more pain, suffering and tests of the body and mind before she could begin to comprehend the strength of will it took to wield such strength. But she'd get there, even if she has to break herself a second time.

Heya ^^

The Walking Dead: The ties that bind.

As the Cowboy explained about his adolescence Leah merely raised an eyebrow, "You... threw stones at each other?" she asked, looking up at him for a moment before shaking her head as she walked past him, "No wonder you're so strange" she said as she moved down the corridor, letting him take the lead into the store. The interior of the place looked fairly untouched as advertisements still hung from the ceiling trying to persuade whoever looked at them to buy their latest CD's and DvD's. Shelves were still lined with items and aside from the few items which lay across the floor here and there it wasn't too bad when other places were looted entirely. Leah ducked under the shutter, looking around the vast open space with a touch of awe. Some would find it silly to have such a reaction to a place like this, but then people could guess that places like this wouldn't be as clear in the mind of a child her age. "Do you think we can really find what we're looking for here?" she asked as she turned to face him.

Year 2058 (Near-Future Military Scifi RP, maybe with mechs)

Name: Melissa C. Winter
Age: 26
Gender: Female

Appearance:

Melissa

Background:

Melissa lead a very academic life up until her transition into the military. She major'd primarily in mathematics and history, taking a particular interest in historical wars and the strategies they employed, her studies and research delving back as far as the Han Dynasty era of China. It was her intention to eventually teach after becoming a scholar in her chosen fields, however as she grew up she found her chosen life path to be lacking in something which she couldn't quite put her finger on. It was latter on during her growth that she would discover the thing she was missing was merely excitement.

After signing up to the military in order to circumvent her life's lack of excitement, she set herself on a new path to secure a position within Intelligence, using her transferable skills from her civilian life in order to progress her career through many tests and exams along the way. It was then that she was flagged up by headquarters for possessing a higher degree of IQ necessary to participate in a new programme which was being funded and backed by the government. The programme was simply named ANTI which stood as an acronym for Adaptive Neural Technology Interface. The idea behind this programme was to successfully link the mind of a person with the technological environment around them using a prototype chip which required surgical insertion above the necks vertebrae.

Once the insertion was complete, the subject of the programme would be able to actively engage with technology on a higher grade of understanding, being able to circumvent security protocols and hack into most machines without much difficulty. Subjects were able to make use of external functions, being able to tap into security camera feeds which would appear in their visions HUD display before then being able to manually shut it down like they were some kind of universal remote. The results were promising and for many of the subjects it appeared to be going well. Melissa was put against more tests via the programme and seemed to progress with above satisfactory results. This eventually lead to the second part of the programme which was when she was introduced to the first Sovereign class mobile platform.

Using the same technology used for the infantry drop ships the mobile platform was fitted with a set of thrusters which worked to keep the machine suspended in free space, using a complex system of propulsions to move itself around the field. But what was more, was that the interior of the platform was specifically designed to cater to the ANTI chip, providing the subjects with an environment they could essentially bend, shape and even personalize through the use of their newly installed interface. Each of the subjects which remained after the testing periods were assigned one of these platforms before being deployed in the field for further testing. And it was here that Melissa began her career in the field.

Rank: Unspecified - Equivalent: Tank Commander

Unit: Unassigned

Role: Multi role / Intelligence / Support

Gear:

- ANTI Chip
- Assault Rifle
- Hand Gun
- Combat Knife

Sovereign class mobile Platform:

Mobile platform

The function of the mobile platform is very similar to a main battle tank, however unlike MBT's these machines operate from safer distances in order to offer support to surrounding units and allies. The SMP utilises an on board radar as well a a geographical mapping satellite in order to gain immediate advantages during combat situations. An SMP Commander will liaise with unit officers on the field in order to keep them updated on enemy positions and changes in the terrain which would benefit the unit. The SMP may actively engage in combat with it's on board offensive and defensive countermeasures, however the SMP should never be deployed in direct combat as it is not designed to withstand concentrated amounts of fire.

Ground and Mech units armed with laser designation tools will be able to utilise the SMP's medium range rockets, enabling ground forces to call in a barrage of fire power to a designated area. In addition to that, they might also be able to designate a position within the SMP's firing line, enabling use of it's main cannon specifically designed to deliver singular punches of devastating fire power. Lastly to note is the SMP's frequency boosting abilities which will enable clearer and further communication between ground forces, using itself to catalyst the signal. The SMP requires only a crew of one, as long as the individual is using the ANTI chip.

SMP Arsenal:

1x Main Cannon
1x HMG (Mounted on turret)
2x Anti Infantry LMG
2x Rocket pods / Laser guided
2x Chaff pods

Short range radar
Thermal Camo armor
Frequency Amplifier /Jammer
Satellite uplink

I hope this is ok, I tried to bring something new to this. I wasn't sure how technologically advanced this is either so I've tried to keep it relatively even.

Gonna post tomorrow. Also, Captain! I need a sword too! don't go without me ;(

That would really depend on the size of the paragraph as well as the grammar honestly. For your second question I would be fine with the Aang era or the Korra era.

Sure ^^

Ask away.
