Alright so this RP is based on a previous one I did, called Operation House of the Rising Sun.   Links and such are located below. 

Now while it was a very short RP, I am rather proud it.  One of the biggest problems I had was I found I was a bit too harsh on the characters lol  They truly never really got a good break and that is something that I promise will have changed in this version. 

This RP is set in the same quasy Warhammer 40k/Starship Troopers universe and will involved some characters from Operation House of the Rising Sun as well.  It takes place not long after the events of Operation HRS and will follow the exploits and missions of LT Warren and his platoon as they serve under Captain Douglas of the Royal Navy.  The Royal Navy being part of the Commonwealth, which is subject state of the Empire.  They have there own laws and customs, but pretty much think the British Empire is space and you're on the money.

Now being that our platoon has access to a Navy destroyer we'll be able to travel around a lot more, and being that Captain Douglas is an insanely corrupt son of a bitch we will have a wide variety of missions for which we can complete.  Fighting xeno's (what in our universe is the name for Aliens in the movies), giant bugs, rebellious human colonies, space orks, and elder (which are basically space elves), and anything else which tickles our fancy too kill.

Now, we will only be playing as humans of the Imperial Guard or the Royal Navy (yes you can play crew members of the HMS Kidd), but know that we are bottom the wrung of the latter people.  There are super soldiers out there and we are NOT them!  We are grunts, the assholes who get sent in too get shot.  We got a bit of a reprieve by working for Douglas, but even he only finds as useful as we are profitable.  This is a good opportunity for the whole platoon though, chance to get some more coin in our pockets and to see the galaxy...And kill shit!

So below is a list of characters I have already taken, so anything outside those roles is up for grabs people!  Hope to get some interest, will answer all questions as they come forward :)

HMS Kidd:

Captain William Douglas- Captain of the ship

Lieutenant Commander Samantha Tyler - First Officer of the ship

Chief Petty Officer Rosemary Gullins - Commination's Liaison with 206 Special Ops


206 Platoon:

First Lieutenant Jonathan Warren - Platoon CO

First Sergeant Kerry Paige - Platoon Sargeant

Staff Sergeant Maxine Cosinara - Sniper

Sergeant Sarah Tanaka - Platoon Medic

Corporal Leonard L. Church - Squad Leader

Private First Class Ijin Sako - Rifleman

Private First Class Jennifer Daniso - Grenadier

Go on then, You got me hooked.

I'd probably go with a member of the ship's company, unless you want me to recreate the sergeant major?

Are you kidding!  Bring Paige back in full form if you like lol

A member of the ships company would be welcome as well though.  A tough Master at Arms or Chief Engineer?

Or whatever brilliant idea you come up with Chrystal :)  Was about 10 min from PMing you anyway

Name:      Kerry Paige 
Rank:      Sergeant First Class
Role:      Platoon Sergeant
Age:       36
Height:    5'8" (173cm)
Weight:    161Lbs (73kg)

Summary

Paige enlisted at age 18 straight out of high school. She turned Career soldier at 21. She has served with merit in several conflicts, and has advanced slowly through the ranks. Her slow rise is undoubtedly due to several poor fitness for promotion reports which were no doubt prompted by her lack of respect for those placed in command over her.

Paige is an able soldier and a good leader, but seems to think that she can run the army better than anyone else. This would not be such a problem if she were not also vociferous of her opinions. She also has something of a temper, having been involved in a number of off-base "incidents" before the outbreak of the present hostilities. If she were better able to control these latter two flaws, she would have been considered for promotion to officer, years ago. As it stands, she is unlikely to rise further.

Psych Profile

First Sergeant Paige presents quite a conundrum. In peace time and during periods of R&R she exhibits the characteristics of someone with low intelligence. She is unstable and short tempered, with a propensity to speak before thinking. However in combat, she is cool, calm and stable. She has received several citations for bravery under fire, but according to the reports she is never reckless. She always puts the welfare of those under her command first. This has resulted in some of the incidents which have been the cause of her being passed over for promotion on several occasions, and in one case even demoted.

Her inability to control her outspokenness in front of officers - especially senior officers - has resulted in numerous disciplinary hearings. In most cases no action was taken against her because her words, while inappropriate, were generally correct! To quote Brigadier General Princeton-Scott: "The man is indeed a horses ass, Corporal Paige, but you should not have called him it to his face!"

Paige has exhibited a sexual preference for women and while this is not an offence, it has kept her under a certain amount of scrutiny. She has on rare occasions exhibited a tendency to be protective towards the other women in her unit and potentially hostile toward the men.

Hey guys.  :-) I'm aboard and ready to continue with Sarah Tanaka, though I've decided to pass on playing Kara again.

Cal, I already touched on this in my PM, but I was thinking the teleport at the end of OHotRS (lol, weird abbreviation) should be considered non-canon to this game so we don't need to deal with the existence of that tech going forward (why not teleport bombs onto enemy ships, teleport enemy soldiers into space, etc.). We could just assume our unit was rescued in a more conventional way.

Also, I don't want to overstep my bounds as player but the setting seemed like fairly hard sci-fi for the most part and I'm iffy on things getting too warhammer-ish.


Cal1496

Ya, we'll go with that they were dropped shipped out, go there last min, all that fun stuff.

And ya, this version is going to be a lot more about the actual Platoon and the Ship crew rather than their missions, so too speak.

Basically less Warhammer, more BSG, Star Treky.  Cause we got  ship now!  Yay!  And multiple characters are welcome.

I better start making some threads actually lol

Oh, and we'll be going with OHRS I think, less odd looking

Chrystal

I need to admit that I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, Jos.

I stopped reading OHRS shortly after my last post, and I was half expecting everyone to have been killed off!

I have nothing against the squad going on missions, but I would prefer them not to all be suicidal! The first rule of warfare is, don't start a war you can't win! In Heinlein's original book "Starship Troopers", the humans do eventually win the war. (The film, as I said before, was crap, and the "sequel" was actually a reasonable stand-alone sci-fi war-horror movie with nothing whatever to do with Heinlein's book).

I have another condition of my participation, though, Cal. Sorry to be a pain and all, but do you remember a certain incident with a couple of players who joined and created "veteran" characters? Paige came into the room and yelled "TEN-HUT" and they ignored her, and I had her give them a chewing out which they ignored....?

That must not happen.  It is a military unit in time of war and the penalty for disobeying a direct order from a superior is summary execution! Please could you make that plain to everyone? Thanks.

Joslyn

I have updated Sarah's character sheet to reflect the events of the previous game.  :-)





Name:      Sarah Tanaka
Rank:      SGT
Role:      MT1 (Med Tech, First Class)
Age:       25
Height:    5'6" (168 cm)
Weight:    115 lbs. (52 kg)

Summary

A former doctor and political agitator, Sarah Tanaka was brought in through the Prisoner Enlistment Service. She was convicted of felony subversion and shows no remorse for participating in anti-government protests. Her stated reason for opting into the PES was to continue practicing medicine.

Although she is loyalty-flagged, during Operation House of the Rising Sun she was granted a field promotion by 1LT Joseph Warren from the grade of Private to that of Sergeant in recognition of her bravery during the loss of the transport Roger Young. This action was taken in defiance of PES protocols but has not been investigated due to Tanaka being granted political asylum by the Commonwealth under unusual circumstances.

Despite the shortage of doctors in our combat support hospitals and the subject’s obvious qualifications, it is not recommended that she be employed in this role due to political and security liabilities. Going forward, her activities and those of any current or former associates should be watched closely.

Education

New Boston Memorial, completed at age 15.
Imperial University at New Boston, Master’s Degree in Biochemistry, completed at age 19.
Harvard Medical School, completed at age 23.
Mass General, internship and residency in Internal Medicine and Surgery, completed at age 25.

Service Record

PES Boot Camp
MT1 Certification
Assigned to the 206th Mobile Infantry
Operation House of the Rising Sun
Promotion to SGT

Psych Profile

The subject is extremely intelligent, and completed her education at an accelerated rate. Despite some tendencies toward introversion, she was well liked by most of her peers at Mass General. Doctors with decades of experience were known to go to her for help with diagnosing patients.

Her parents, Richard and Keiko Tanaka, have been investigated thoroughly. Despite having lived most of their lives in relative poverty, they test as loyal to the government. It is likely the subject’s initial exposure to subversive materials came about due to her excessive level of curiosity.

Her treasonous lack of respect for political and economic authority stems from her obsession with helping the lower class of society. This manifested in the form of excessive time spent working in a free clinic before finally leading her to illegal associations with anti-government and anti-capitalist groups.

The subject’s acceptance into PES is based on her passion for practicing medicine and firm conviction that patients should be treated with no regard to political considerations—she may despise everything a well-adjusted citizen holds dear, but she is able to put this aside for her work. That said, it would be inadvisable to test this attitude by putting the lives of any high ranking officers or officials in her hands.

Chrystal:  This will be different I promise lol  The amount of suicide missions will have gone down dramatically since they been under Douglas.  Basically they are mercenary group for him.  He uses them in the various illegal and dirty deeded missions he scheme's up.  He also uses them any missions the Kidd is taking part in, but the main reason they are there is too be of profit too him.  They won't be too profitable if they are all dead.  So more kicking ass this time.

The second point I completely agree with.  I let that get out of hand cause I wanted people too stick around but frak that shit.  This is a military RP in a fictional fascist state.  You disobey, you get killed.  That for ANY CHARACTER, including mine.

Strangefate:  Thanks for dropping by Fate, hope to see your return :)


And also for all you curious sorts, Joslyn had provided an absolutely perfect summary of the previous game

Sorry all, got caught up in summer fun :P

Gunna get this puppy rolling soon, promise

The XO of the HMS Kidd is currently free, I decided to get rid of the NPC I had for it.

Come on folks!

Ranks for the 206 are based on US Army Rank and Insignia.

HMS Kidd is based on Royal Navy rank and Insignia.

First post is up ladies and germs, get in on the ground floor while you can.

Chrystal

What we could really do with is some ladies willing to make butch (or not so butch) female characters?

If the ladies join, the men will follow!

GabrielM

I am curious if you have room for me? I was thinking a lower rank maybe a PFC or SPC who is the demo expert? Maybe I was pulled in by Douglas to help on the mercenary side of things?

Cal1496

You could be the same thing but just brought along with the platoon in the first place and simply not mentioned till this point.

Douglas bringing someone in like that would indicated a rather personal relationship, and Douglas frankly is a bit too much of snob too hang out with privates or specialists.  He can appreciate their ability yes, but too actually interact and request they move as favour too him?  No lol

But really I see no issue with a character coming along with platoon with those specialties

Alright I will work out a char sheet tonight and get it up as soon as I can!

You should give incentives Chrystal ;)

Make them offers they can't possibly pass up.

Chrystal

They get to spank and/or be spanked by MEEEEE! What greater incentive could there be?

*snigger*

You could put "need girls" in the opening header...
