Re: The Dividing Line - Signup and OOC

Yey >.> I has character:

CHARACTER

Name: Krysta Trin
Gender: Female
Race: Human
Age: 23

Description: Krysta is one of the most average looking humans you could imagine. Her height is the average of six feet, she has an average body shape, slender, but well formed, yet her hair is flaming red, and her eyes are bright blue. She has had both arms replaced with cybernetic implants giving her a more precise touch when dealing with the injured. (Along with various addons to her fingers, a scalpel, liquid-dropper, anti-infection spray, burn spray, tweezers, and a depository in her palms for foreign objects)

Background: She grew up on her parent’s ship an Axe class named The Shining Star. After they were killed in the line of duty after the first war, and she lost her arms at the tender age of 19, she decided to take a non aggressive approach to life. She made it her mission to help the wounded and became a Medical Officer on the Space Station “Brilliance.”

Crew: She only has one crew member, a cook that had served her and her parents for years, and she doesn’t have the heart to tell the kind old man that she can cook for herself. Besides, his cooking is wonderful.

SHIP

Name: The Shining star
Length: ~70 m

Description:
The Shining Star is a Gunship of the now discarded Axe class. It even looks a bit like an axe head.
The ship has a generally elliptical form when looked down on. However one half of the ship seems to end directly behind the cockpit. Instead a short cylinder extends from the cockpit's rear wall. This holds the engine.
The Axe class holds room for five people. The inside is richly furnished and extremely livable. The cargo bay holds food and medical supplies that she sometimes ferries from place to place

The weapons have all been removed, and a very strong shield has been added to the one already available.

Might work, although I was actually working on trying to get an actual physical appearance for Umbral done. Got something that's close, just need to get a decent shot of it.

EDIT: Lack of artistic skills is doing much biting of backside when it comes to trying to do images of the Dragon's Fang and Viper's armored flight suit.

I find Senkek's picture quite amusing, does this mean I get to chase after an invisibility ring?

I think it refers to how you deal with all the junk on your trunk - I mean ship.

Re: The Dividing Line - Signup and OOC

an invisibility ring
Is it too late to mention that giving me ideas could be somewhat hazardous? (/joke)

In all seriousness, even if Rule allowed Umbral to design some manner of personal cloaking device, it would at least be backpack sized.

The gnome needs a flame thrower, jet pack, and sharp pointy teeth, but I guess it will do unless I decide to try portraying him my self some time.

Re: The Dividing Line - Signup and OOC

((Oh, hell yeah, you know I'm gettin in on this RP))

Name: Vance Igerson
Gender:Male
Race:Human
Height: 6'8"
Age: 22
Description: Vance stands tall at his present height of 6'6", has a slender mid-section, and a muscular upper body, as well as a massive scar from his right shoulder to his left waist. His legs are built large enough to support his muscular upper body, but not massive, even though he has to support all the weight of his upper body muscles. His face is that of an average man, although he has a slightly square chin and small ears. He tends to dress in a black pair of skin-tight pants and a matching skin-tight sleeveless black shirt. Over this, he normally wears a white coat, with the collar buttoned up, and his arms inside the coat, instead of inside the sleeves. Vance has also been sighted wearing a pair of orange sunglasses, along with a cigar usually between his teeth


Background: Vance was born and raised as a killing machine, born from a dream of one crazy father, and a few genetic helping hands. At the age of ten, he was already overcoming everything that was thrown at him. Murderers, Thieves, anyone who tried to get anywhere near him was killed. The only ones safe from his killing instinct were the very parents he was raised by. Even they could not escape him. At 15, after a life filled with killing, he turned on his parents. They were murdered in seconds, and, at that time, Vance finally realized the folly of his abilities, and decided not to kill for himself anymore. He packed up, and left his hometown, then joined the Human Directorate two years later, and has been fighting ever since, albeit only against space pirates and gun-runners and the like. He hates fighting, since the incidents of his past haunt him every day, but he still prefers peace through violence over conflict that may stem from him not fighting. At the age of twenty-one, he was honorably discharged for a large wound he sustained in battle against Space Pirates; a large slice that goes from his left shoulder all the way down to his right waist. The scar is still there. Vance has since acquired his own Gunship, and now roams through space, transporting cargo and people to different planets, for a price


Crew members (if any):N/A


SHIP

Name: Forward unto Oblivion

Description: A custom Light Gunship, barely over 40 metres long, with a large thruster halfway out from the middle of the ship on either side. It also has two large thrusters in the middle, with four small thrusters, one above and one below each main thruster, as back-ups in case the main engine fails. The ship itself is just over ten metres wide in the back, making for very tight quarters inside. It can be crewed with just one person. The whole ship looks like a large triangle, with the point being at the tip. This ship is built for speed, and thus carries almost no armament

Weaponry and shields: six rapid-fire lasers, three on each side, for use as back-ups in case the main guns are down. Two Laser Cannons, one on each side, which can do serious damage, but are slow firing. Four Missile launching pods, two on the front and one on each side, each Missile being the size of a car and pack the standard yield of an average missile. They are slow-loading and have a high muzzle-velocity, and can track and follow a target up to 1000 metres.

Shielding includes a standard shield, as well as a "Fall-Back" shield for when the ship is immobilized.

Fall-Back shield: When all four the large thrusters on the back are deactivated, it can be activated, meaning his ship gains massive shield abilities, but cannot move. The shield, it is said, can withstand nothing short of a direct assault from a Battleship. These rumors, are, of course, exaggerated, but the shield can stop pretty much anything. It can only be activated for ten minutes before deactivating.

Unique Technology: Over-thrust: The Forward unto Oblivion has a special ability built in for quick escapes. By shutting down all but life-support and ship control systems, Vance can make the ship move at 200% normal speed, but only for two minutes, during which time he can flee from pursuers

((Edit: sorry if I seem like I fail at doing this, haven't made such a sophisticated character in a long time. Sorry for epic fail if it occurs))

Re: The Dividing Line - Signup and OOC

Your character seems to be more fitted for an anime than this world. Also I sincerely hope that your character comes from some backwater planet with a lousy police force. Otherwise I can't understand how they could NOT stop a 7-year long killing spree. Also the First War was 4 years ago, so that means he would have earned that scar in a fight with Space Pirates.

Your background is really the only thing that bothers me. Also sign up is almost closed, you better hurry.

That's better. Go ahead and post.

On terminology: Faster than light travelling is called FTL. Not warp, not hyper space, not anything else. FTL.

EDIT: Scratch that. Everybody can go to FTL as he sees fit.

Re: The Dividing Line - Signup and OOC

Rule, a little question about typical shield style here. Are most shields of the wide field variety, where a fighter can't fly in close to a capital ship without vaporising itself on the shields. Or are they more tight fitting to the shape of the craft?

Either way Kars has a strategy for it, but it will effect how he flies.

The normal shields are wide, like bubbles.

Good good. That type is more fun for Kars. He's learnt a trick for dealing with those. And it makes my notes on his non typical shielding make sense.

Re: The Dividing Line - Signup and OOC

Had a thought, and figured that I'd better go ahead and ask, rather than assume. It involves the rifle Viper is carrying.

Initially, I had intended it to be very similar to the Compression Rifle from the first Elite Force. Energy-based, with a somewhat "thin" beam for finesse work, and a "heavier" beam for the generic combat.

Alternatively, it could be something derived from the coilgun tech. Ammunition would be high-penetration darts, fired three a shot, perhaps even with either ultra-thin razor wires attached, or the capacity for a variety of toxins to be carried.

Rule, what's your thought?

Sorry. My RP style is a bit too flamboyant and rushing, isn't it? I apologize.
