				Hi guys &amp; girls, the character template I'd like you to use is below, along with a few notes on what I mean by skills and natural talents. While this is not a system based game as such, I'd like people to be as realistic as possible when giving skills and abilities to their characters and when describing their background.&nbsp; <br><br>Once you have your character's finalised I will put up a Character thread for each of the two groups so you can post the completed sheet with a pic (if you wish). Until then any discussion can take place in this OOC thread. <br><br>---<br>[Picture: if you like]<br>Name:<br>Profession/Training:<br>Sex:<br>Age:<br>Nationality:<br>Physical Description:<br>Personality Traits:<br>Background:<br>Skill Sets:<br>Natural Talents:<br>---<br><br>Ok, so SKILL SETS; I would like you to give a broad name to maybe 3-5 skills or areas of expertise for your character where they are considered to be above average when it comes to that field. For example, while most people can cook a meal a professional chef could have 'cook' as a skill. While the chef would undoubtedly be better at preparing a lavish meal most people would have a chance of making an effort at the same dish. At the other end of the scale, a skill of Genetic Engineering would be a minimum requirement to perform a detailed analysis of a clone's dna.&nbsp; Any queries just ask, but try to choose skills that would fit in with your character's profession and background - no lab assistants piloting nuclear attack fighters please!<br><br>Natural Abilities are things like being ambidextrous, having a photographic memory, being double jointed etc... Use these sparingly though please and include something in your bio for it..<br><br>If you want your characters to be able to use weapons with any great accuracy you will need to have a skill for the appropriate type of weapon, handguns, rifle, rocket launcher etc.. <br><br>Same goes for either the STARS or HARD Suits too. Though an exception to that rule is the Mars team - all characters have had extensive training with a modified version of the STARS suit so you don't need to use a skill for that.<br><br>Mars Mission blurb... As mentioned above all characters will be able to use the Mars adapted STARS suit, and will have spent a minimum of 100 days simulated space flight time and around 40 days Mars simulated time so will be used to operating in a low gravity and thin atmosphere situation and have at least a passing familiarity with how to put together the habitation blocks that are on board the ship, destined to be their living quarters for the foreseeable future. The lives of 200 new colonists depend on their physical and psychological fortitude, so all have undergone those types of examinations. Also it is likely that everyone on the team has met and spend time together so are familiar with each others expertise and personalities... For better or worse.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br>

				Name: James Braitwaite (Major, REME)<br><div class="floatright">(http://www.whatsonxiamen.com/ent_images/6565_5.jpg)</div>Age: 29<br>Profession: Engineer/Mechanic<br>Nationality:&nbsp; British<br>Background: James joined the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers (REME) straight from University after a degree in Electrical Engineering. Rising quickly through the ranks, he is a Major in the 7 Air Assault Battalion REME based in Wattisham, England. <br><br>James has always been a front line battlefield engineer, as capable of stripping down and repairing a simple rifle as he is reconfiguring a HARD suit under fire. He has had a number of (classified) attachments to 22 Regiment Special Air Service on Earth as well as some lunar and zero gravity combat engagements. He was also attached to the US Navy SEAL Team Two where he served as Adjutant to the Officer Commanding and to the Kommando Spezialkräfte where he refuses to confirm or deny his role. He was hand picked to participate in the Mars Pathfinder mission and was a joint selection of both the USA and the United Kingdom. <br><br>An electrical engineer by training, James completed several MechEng "screwdriver" courses sufficient to the extent that several of his contributions have been incorporated into the latest STARS and HARD suits as well as their Mars Pathfinder versions. He can repair most Earth based ground assault vehicles as well as several Air assets. He has recently qualified on all the main Pathfinder vehicles and equipment. Whilst not a communications specialist, his special operations experience has meant he inevitably comes in contact with some of the spook stuff. He knows enough about spread spectrum micro bursts and directional laser comms to tinker with most things.<br><br>Skillsets: Electrical and Mechanical Engineering, Communications equipment repair (some). Special Operations combat and engineering. Fully able to survive in any Earth or near Earth or Lunar environment he is completely self sufficient. All types of armed/unarmed combat.<br><br>Natural Abilities: Good instincts allow James to generally spot a liar when confronted with one. He is by nature an optimist.

				<span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font">Name: Dr Hoshi Kimura<br>Profession/Training: Civil Engineer<br>Sex: F<br>Age: 25<br>Nationality: Japanese<br>Physical Description: 5'4, lightly built.</span><div class="floatright">&nbsp; (http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/3/3c/Hoshi_Kimura.jpg) </div><span style="font-family: verdana;" class="bbc_font"><br>Personality Traits: Determined, ambitious, manipulative, aggressive, sensuous, humorous, bisexual.<br><br>Background: Only child of parents who are both in the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency JAXA, Hoshi did her first degree in maths and physics, then her PhD in civil engineering.&nbsp; She is ambitious but so far lacks a sense of direction, and since graduating has more or less hung around JAXA working on infrastructure projects.&nbsp; She is only in aerospace because of her parents, but is unaware of just how much her destiny has been prearranged.&nbsp; &nbsp;Hoshi seems really too young and under-qualified for the Mars mission, somewhat out of place, and thinks she is only on the team because she's fucked the entire Mars committee in Tokyo to get the nomination.<br><br>What she does not know is that she was going to get on the mission anyway: she has been genetically engineered with some experimental modifications to suit life on Mars with its gravity of only 3.7 m/s2</span> instead of Earth's 9.81.&nbsp; Triggers that would have weakened bones by excreting calcium and phosphate in low gravity have been switched off, together with triggers that would have reduced muscle mass.&nbsp; Her cardiovascular system has been modified with stronger vessel walls in her upper body to prevent fluid shift.&nbsp; To make sure Hoshi wanted to go, she was deeply hypnotised years before.&nbsp; <br><br>She has trained in Karate, Judo and Aikido since the age of six, and is not averse to using her skills to inflict injury if someone pisses her off: she has twice put gropers in hospital for example.<br><br>Skill Sets: Martial arts, civil engineering, materials.<br><br>Natural Talents: Very quick and deft; great focus and concentration; quick learner; problem-solver; she is someone who having never fired a certain weapon in her life can look at it, understand it, then aim and fire it with great accuracy.&nbsp; Being physically weak but clever, she is adept at using tools, machines and equipment to deal with heavy tasks.<br><br>She sailed through all the training; but compared to the others she's a generalist and gets the jobs nobody else wants, unless and until she can persuade someone to change it.&nbsp; To some extent she brings this on herself by abhorring failure and thus building a reputation as a go-to girl for tasks that are weird and tricky.

				(http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/jillvader/sexy_pilot_concept_by_garang76-d34vdyh.jpg)<br><strong>Name:</strong> Caitlin Powers<br><strong>Profession/Training:</strong> Pilot<br><strong>Sex:</strong> Female<br><strong>Age:</strong> 29<br><strong>Nationality:</strong> American<br><strong>Personality Traits:</strong> Cocky, headstrong, determined, brave. Maybe a little reckless. Very driven and intense, especially when "behind the wheel" as it were. Claims that there's nothing she can't pilot and is willing to back it up.<br><strong>Background:</strong> A former USAF pilot, Caitlin had served her country with distinction, earning equal parts praise and criticism. While unquestionably a skilled pilot, she was also a known discipline issue, cocky, hot-headed and with a well-deserved reputation for getting herself into trouble. While it seemed almost inevitable that she would be involved in an ‘incident’, what came as a surprise was that she was not actually responsible. Rather, a patrol that she was leading was “bounced” by a pair of enemy fighters looking for blood.<br><br>Minutes later, both were going down in flames, and Caitlin had a pair of kill marks on her record.<br><br>From there, Caitlin was ‘encouraged’ to volunteer for something which would not involve her flying something armed. The Mars mission seemed like a good bet; not only did it offer her an opportunity to boldly go where nobody had been before and a challenge to handle a craft under a completely new set of circumstances (as well as pandering to her ego), it also meant that she would be safely out of the hair of those in charge and afraid that their PR-friendly hero would go off and cause more trouble.<br><strong>Skill Sets:</strong> Cailtin is an expert pilot, capable of handling a wide variety of air and space craft. Her combination of talent and experience makes her very capable behind the wheel (as it were). Additionally, she has the full range of USAF survival training, and is capable with small arms.<br><strong>Natural Talents:</strong> Caitlin possesses superb hand-eye coordination, excellent reflexes and agility as well as excellent eyesight. She seems to have an instinctive knack for picking up aircraft operations and being able to fly given the minimum of instruction or even a fair guess.<br>

He grew up listening to stories of what Russia was like before the USSR rose up and closed it’s iron fist on the country.&nbsp; Dureke was never blind to the failings of the system he lived under, his parents were not satisfied with the education that the government was providing him so very early on they started to teach him what they could of the sciences when he was at home. By the time he was thirteen he had a basic college level understanding of physics, chemistry and biology. Over the next few years they focused on biology only because it was their area of expertise and they were able to bring home materials from the labs they worked at.<br><br>As the USSR started to fall apart and the civil war broke out Dureke joined many of the other youth as they fought for a freedom they had never known.

				To answer your question Isobel I would say that Dureke would have welcomed Hoshi in his bed but it would most likely have been after time spent in the STAR suits or something that would give him just as much of a an adrenaline rush.<br><br>He would be looking forward to fucking her again when they are on Mars but it would be something that is in the back of his mind at the moment.

				Caitlin's definitely off the menu here; she's got no interest in girls, and besides which, she's more likely to be focused on the mission and the challenges of being the first person to land a ship on Mars. In truth, she's liable to take a dim view of Hoshi, suspecting that the girl got into the mission not on her own merits but rather flat on her back.<br>

				Is that a done deal, or is it up for debate here OOC ?<br><br>I would respectfully suggest that Braithwaite is not a good fit for 'captain' if were are en-route to Mars since he is an engineer and not a pilot. When we land, by all means, his experience and expertise might make him a better bet for Mars-based leader. En-route, just looking at character sheets, Caitlin is the best choice. And besides, a bit headstrong makes for intersting plot twists during the journey does it not ?<br><br>... Oh, and I am quite new to group games and don't know the politics of them.

				I was waiting until you can online before I spoke. I agree that should be Captain on the flight to mars Caitlin. Once they get too Mars all I know is that Dureke should not be in charge, the reason for this is that he is Russian so I doubt the UN would let a him be in command because of politics and the countries past.

				Cheers Lilly, the tags will make things a lot easier on both threads once people start moving around and it will save my poor head from hurting if everyone starts using them from their next post. Thanks. <br><br>Captain? Well, this being the UN and all that democracy or dithering if you like, there is the captain of the ship - the pilot, which I think is the way it would be,then the commander of the mission as a whole would be one of the engineer types as it is a construction/engineering mission once you reach the red planet, so I'd suggest James B, but if anyone has other suggestions feel free to post, this is your game too, I'd like you to feel your decisions both in and out of character have an effect on the world you're playing in.&nbsp; &nbsp;

				@Frelance: yes, partly.. I've been trying to find a deck plan or bigger pic of the ship. The wheel-like structure at the rear of the ship (which is stolen from Dream Pod 9's Jovian Chronicles game) rotates and creates gravity for the crew's living quarters. The rest of the ship has no gravity as such, so the crew must strap themselves into their work stations.

				@KaylaM: the ship is yours, if you want to give a post of you taking her out of the docks and into space. <br><br>@All: not wanting to give any spoilers away, but you've got 3 days of relatively uneventful travel ahead.. Feel free to fill in the time - remember though, the eyes of the world are on you, LOL.
