Right, the rest of the intro will be posted shortly, but I think it's best if we get sign ups done as soon as we can.
So, if you're playing, post your age, build, a little info about yourself, ect.Anything we may need, in this format.
Age -
Build -
General information -
And so on.
Sloth Edit: Include your reasons for leaving Earth if you're part of the First Fleet. Otherwise why you were part of the Second Fleet, or even what your parents told you of Earth.

We will however, take some liberties, as some things such as nationality won't apply for some players - but more will be revealed later.

Age: 34
Build: A Wiry and thin build with hard set facial features under taught skin. Sporting a pitch-black goatee and hair falling at medium length in greasy, unclean strands. Apart from his eyes and nose, hardly any of his face is seen. Wears a leather jacket over a black t-shirt and loose-fitting, dark blue jeans.
General: A creepy mother****a. Likes to stare at people, always with a smirk on his face. Doesnt speak much, but when he does, you'd wish he hadnt. Has a suspicious knack for thriving while others are down. Nobody knows where he came from, and nobody knows his name. The general feeling was that he fled earth as a criminal, stowing away somewhere on the ship until they were far enough away from earth that they wouldnt send him back anyways. Whether this was true or not, only he knew, but people avoided him all the same.

Age: 55
Build: Overweight, short.
Description: an aged and jaded habitat engineer brought along with the second fleet to establish and maintain habitats on the planet. Expert in his field, but with little social life and a melancholic disposition.
Emporius
01-09-2008, 04:37 AM
(can't edit so adding)
Emporius's connection to the second fleet is not one of choice. In an effort to reach the necessary population cap, his government initiated an under-the-table conscription for those that would not be missed. Orphaned after his parents were killed in the Ottawa riots, Emporius fell under this category.

Yeah, except the characters are us.
It's a bit hard to explain, but this stems from the time that we all pretended we had the first HL2.net convention and then zombie shit went down.

I'm the Juggernaut Bitch
not really.
Extremely quick and clever with good balance and dexterity but below average strength and HP. High chance to do critical damage in a group when not the tank. Great chance of blocking or deflecting an attack regardless. Incredibly sneaky. Average evasion. Could be ambidextrous. Good Speech craft and great Mercantile.
Build: Tall/Slight
Age: 33
Left Earth to avoid persecution and arrest, looking to continue doing things the only way I know: Piracy, Crime, Corruption, Mercenary, Thievery, things like that.
And not to sound like some untrustworthy son of a bitch, because I can very easily adapt to a completely opposite environment. It just depends on the group/party. Extremely versatile. I never cross true friends or family.

AJ Rimmer
08-09-2008, 04:11 PM
Name: Arnold Rimmer
Age: 24
Build: Six feet.
Physical Attributes: He walks hunched over, trying not to attract unnecessary attention, has a habit of biting his nails and to stare at people.
Personality: Friendly and charming, but not one to actively search for contact, he has a natural curiosity that most often trumps his sense of caution, and sometimes his sense of right and wrong.
Background: Was presented the option of being drafted into the colonization programme with the 1st fleet instead of going to jail for violation of medical ethics during his final year at university. He presented his Ph.D Thesis in genetics three days before he was pressed with charges. His thesis remains on file with the 2nd Fleet along with a series of small articles detailing his short trial.

Oh, I thought we were making up our own characters as well.
In that case my information is
Size: 6'3'' 175lb muscular
Appearance: Jet black hair trimmed close and slicked up. Chiseled jaw and strikingly attractive face. Wears expensive suits and stands upright and proper, with a heartbreaking smile.
General: Incredibly wealthy thanks to ingenious investments early in his life, donates much of his profits to charities. Very intelligent, having master degrees in several fields of study, and runs multiple public service businesses. Knows how to treat women right, gives the utmost respect to everyone no matter what walk of life they come from. Incredibly charismatic, modest, funny, and down to earth. Aspires to one day become a politician to give back to the people whom he loves.
Yeah, that sounds about right.

How do we come up with a background when we know next to nothing about the universe?
Mikael Grizzly
16-09-2008, 11:49 PM
You make shit up.
Name: Alex Paul Sokolansky
Ancestry: Polish
Occupation: Paramedic
Background: Alex was never much of a scholar, owing in part to his talents and in part due to his distaste for studying. Often doing just enough to slip through the cracks of the educational system, young Sokolansky also found it increasingly easy to estabilish proper relations with other humans, tied to his innate ability to understand how other humans work.
This, coupled with his fascination (object of which was the human body), led him to choose his career as a doctor. While not too shabby in theory, he was the head of the class when it came to practice. Finishing the Medical University in Poznan, he enlisted as a paramedic with the Second Fleet, hoping to learn a new thing or two about the human body in extreme conditions.
Physical: His fascination has led to experimentation with the limits of his own body - Alex eventually managed to fine tune his body to the point at which he can do seemingly impossible things with his limbs. However, this has resulted in him having a very slim figure and light built, basically, skin'n'bones. He is quite endurant and agile in return, though, with some nicknaming him "the snake".
Psychological: A likeable, cheerful personality and a happy-go lucky attitude coupled with a rather libertarian mindset have created a fairly decadent fellow, with little to no regard for social norms or behavioral patterns - Alex is a hedonist when it comes to pleasure, and constantly looks for new experiences, be it drinking moonshine made from engine oil or picking up a nice looking mechanic.
Short:
+ Agile, great stamina
+ Great medical skills
+ Easy going, a diplomat
- Bad fighter
- Years of decadent lifestyle have left a stamp on his psyche - alcoholism
- Fairly disliked by more conservative people

Personality: Outgoing, often to a fault. Enjoys hanging out with friends and sports immensely, cares little what anyone thinks of him, very loud. Not very lucky with the ladies, but doesn't really care.
Background: Er... a little fuzzy here. How long have we been on the fleet? I suppose it would be a "parents trying to give child a better life/promising lower class youth" deal. Or I could be born on the fleet, I don't know.
Tried to make it as close to me as possible.

Name: Timothy Lim
Occupation: Lieutenant Of 77th Vigilante Corp.
Background: Born and placed in a facility to train young children into intergalactic policemen while they grew, Timothy did well and managed to get into the force with a fair rank. After an accident involving the death of a comrade which was said to be due to his bad decision making, he was made to leave the force. Timothy then ended up fighting under a registered militia force. He was then spotted by the fleet and nominated to join then. He has finished his training and the decision on whether he will join them as a registered member or sent back is still pending.
