A large poster is posted at the entrance of one of the last remaining Federation loyal space stations. It shows a picture of the spectacular Federation fleet orbiting their home planet of Xenia V. Underneath it is the text, "Push back the Rebels! Please report to your nearest recruitment centre to find out how you can become one of the Federation's finest."
As you walk into the recruitment centre, a young man in a clean white and orange Federation uniform asks you to please fill out an application and turn it into the box to his left.
The application asks for your full name, age, race (Human/Humanoid, Zoltan, Engi, Mantis, Rockman, Slug, or Crystal.), Gender, and Profession(Engineer, Marine, Pilot, or Medic).
-
Most of this is clear, but what are Zoltan and Engi?
-
Sorry.
The Zoltan are bright green humanoids that are made from pure energy.
The Engi are metallic creatures that make excellent mechanics.

Name: Sam Kingsly
Age: 23
Race: Human
Gender: Male
Profession: Pilot
any need for a backstory?
-
No, I figured I'd try something different and get to know everybody on the ship. It seems a bit more loose that way and allows you to bend and change your personality/story during the rp itself.
Plus it makes for some interesting chat during off hours.
I'll also go ahead and post my info, now that I know that a few people may be joining.
Name: Cho'Gath Zhafiik
Age: 37
Race: Mantis
Gender: Male
Profession: Captain (I realize that this wasn't on the application, but I didn't want there to be multiple captains.)
-
Ok Awesome :D
-
Can we be furries? also, what are... erm, all of those aliens?
-
Please read the link above for information on races.
Also, yes, Anthropomorphic animals fall under the category "Humanoid" .
-
Alrighty then... Sorry, I got confused by the "Humanoid" thing. Anyway, I'll dig through the archives and see if I can resurrect an old friend...
-
Alright cool, I'll get the thread up soon.
-
looking forward to it
-
The thread is launched in serious rp.
Also, here is a picture of what the Vengeance and Redemption looks like, except with the main color being white, and the stripes orange. (http://ftlwiki.com/images/thumb/9/9a/Cruiser_Hull_Mantis_B_The_Basilisk.png/280px-Cruiser_Hull_Mantis_B_The_Basilisk.png)
-
Is anybody else going to join? I'll wait another 24 hours for somebody else to join in but then I want to continue on with the RP, if I do end up continueing and you stil want to join then you'll have to wait untill we dock at another station or untill we encounter an event, possibly a slaver or we salvage an old ship.
-
We are leaving the dry dock, any other recruits will have to wait until later.
-
i'm intrested in joining when i can. i'll just follow the rp till then ^-^
Name: Max Shadow
Age: 20
Race: Humanoid
Gender: Male
Profession: Engineer
-
Actually, since we haven't officially left the dock yet, you could join in.
-
okay, i'll quickly write up an opening.
-
Name: Tio Crowell
Age: 24
Race: Humanoid
Gender: Male
Profession: Marine
Having spent time in the acadamy, Tio has learned various skill when it comes to using weapon systems. He has a key eye according to his instructors when it comes to targetting as well.
The cat has been loyal to the Federation since his birth as has many of his kind been. But the recent events with this 'Rebellion' have thrown his kind into dissarray and he seeks to correct that.
-
Hurry! Run to the ship before we leave!

Just for those who do not know how the ships interior looks... Let us pretend it has multiple levels and the likes. But this is how the actuall ship looks from within....
-
just to clear up any confusion (caused by me, i admit it) my character isn't human. he looks like my profile pic. sorry for not making that clearer earlier on.
and also sorry for the slow replys, it seems the three of you are awake and online in the early hours of the morning here >__<
-
Nah different timezones... Tis 23:44 here.
-
that's what i mean. it's 7:54am here in australia XD
-
Not sure if Serpington or Cho'Gath has the call on weapon control.
I could quite easily say I'm giving you control, but then I'm not the captain.
Even then I could do it but Serpington could have meddled with something as it would seem.
Once again, I don't think I would have full control over the whole ship :P
If anything that would be Cho'Gath.
Also how are we going to go about random events, jumping, power and upgrades?
-
I do hope we can have the events happen a bit more realistic and not too much gamestyle. :p
-
Actually, Shhkf has weapons control. And if you would like, You can be in charge of the random events if you wanted, since you are already doing a good job with the pirate.
-
lol, just trying to make it authentic
i agree that i don't want it to be too much like the game, that would probably kill it a bit.
but then I guess it mostly depends on how it goes...
-
would anyone mind if i work on a small little secret story line as part of my characters back story? ^-^
-
I do not mind, aslong as it fits I guess... But it is too soon to state how this RP will function.
-
i'll wait till it's a little older to start it. but it's going to be subtle at first.
-
Just to clarify, are you doing good things or bad things? :P
-
Simply put he is messing with the weapons systems... Aka bad.
Tio can fire but can't properly. So he'll miss IF they even fire. As the system got a reboot.
He might assume an emp.
-
to him they're good things at the moment. he's in a part of the ship completely cut off from the rest so he wouldn't have known that the ship even stopped let alone was using any of the major systems he worked on.
-
yoy, sorry about not posting D:
-
It's ok.
-
OH NO!
THE FRIDGE!
IT HAS MILK AND EGGS IN IT!
-
Ermahgerd, where is that from?

A bit of back story on the war between my kind and Max's.
The Mantis and the Lace Monitors share the same home world, and our kind has been at war since we first became sentient beings. The Lace Monitors, with their overbearing strength and resourcefulness, were driving the mantis kind to extinction. However, due to the Mantises' lack of individual freedom, and the entire hierarchy moving and acting as one, we managed to greatly surpass the Lace Monitors in technology and were the first species of the two to reach space and contact other species. The two species eventually came to a cease fire agreement, mostly due to the Mantis threatening to bombard their capital from orbit. The grudge between the Mantis and Lace Monitor still stands strong though, even though the war has long since been stopped.
Also, the order of space age is as follows; Zoltan, Engi, Slug, Mantis, Rockmen, Lace Monitor, And Humans and their likeness. With Zoltan being the first to reach space age, and Humans being the last.
-
really nowhere near what i was thinking. i was more thinking the two fought between planets....for control of the lesser planets between the two home worlds. it makes a little more sense that way than the two going at it on the same planet. and your account screws up some stuff about max's past i was going to do. message me if you want and we can talk more about the details of the 'war' if you wanted to
-
Or you could just post your version of the back story here. If it does make more sense as you claim it to, then we'll use that.
-
i'll message it to you. there's a few bits in it that i'd like to not reveal yet.
-
Fair enough.
-
Did this one die?!
-
oh hey, did we start yet?
-
Yes we did lols!
