Starship Troopers OOC (also a casting call kind of)

[DeathsKnight]

Welcome Leo

OK guys the plan is to set up a defensive perimeter, get the call to HQ and then withstand a bug attack. Feel free to take a lead where necesarrym but please no godmodding and I don't much mind god modeing as long as it is believable

 

[FelMarch]

How quickly do you want us to move? I'm an utter novice at online RP, so I'm not sure whether I'm derailing things by starting conversations.

 

[Varshanka]

Ghost will converse. eventually. for now, since i'm not sure about the personalities of all the writers, i'm playing it 'close to the chest' as it were.

 

[FelMarch]

Cool. I do like that everyone's giving Lester a hard time so far!

 

[Varshanka]

when ghost wants to give someone a hard time, she lets them see what's under the skinsuit.

 

[FelMarch]

LOL!

Anyone mind that I took the liberty of naming our troop ship? I did a quick search for notable soldiers (i.e. Rodger Young) and John Buford had a nice sound to it.

Oh, also, Varshanka, I took the name of Ghost's MI long rifle from the SST RPG; they call it the Morita TW-202-l. (yep, I'm a geek for them kinds of details). Feel free to ignore!

 

[Dizzyfish]

What a really awesome idea.
I loved this movie like ten fold.
I want a vibrant colored, see
through violin to play. XD

Just sending my like for your
story idea. ^^

 

[DeathsKnight]

We can move as fast as you guys feel comfortable with. We can stay in one place to get details and such down and then move away at any given speed.

Oh and guys if you have a problem with somebody's post, please contact them via PM and tell them. We want to keep this one civilized as we are humans not bugs

I'd love to have a character in this. But I'll also be happy with a less important character in case I go AWOL for a few weeks without posting so you can kill her off in the most violent and embarrassing way.

I can always create another character if I return after that point.

So,


Name: Tali 'Talon' Turaan
Height 5'7"
Weight - 140.
Eye color - Dark brown.
Hair color and style - Ebony black. Long and kept in plait or bun.
Body build - Athletic/moderately muscular. More to have high control over her own body not physical force over others.
Speciality - Specialist. Intelligence/diversion/demolition
Short Bio/Long Bio - Enlisting to one day be granted citizenship, Tali's family is wealthy and influential. Not gaining citizenship would put a mark on her families name, and she could face abandonment and eviction. Once enlisted, Tali found the structure and physical activity great for her, and fell in love with weaponry and demolitions. Before enlistment she had been trained in her families form of martial arts, giving her a confident footing fighting humans in close combat.


She is basically a highly active, Asian demolitions chick.

 

[DeathsKnight]

Sure Dormant, feel free to plant charges to blow them bugs to hell.

In case of you going AWOL I will just assume that you are moving along with the squad/s if that is alright with you

 

[DormantEvil]

Will do.

Anyone have problems with remote detonated grenades, or more so perimeter mines and stuff?

I haven't seen Starship Troopers 3 yet, but I might see about watching it tonight.

 

[FelMarch]

Good luck, DormantEvil. Don't expect a great deal. Seriously. In fact, there's...

No. No, I can't wreck it for you. Some things have to be experienced. Just... brace yourself, okay?

 

[DormantEvil]

Awww, that bad. lol.

It's okay, I'm pretty accepting of movies...even really bad ones.

 

[FelMarch]

Well... it is, kinda, but, y'know, I guess when you get into it... Look, I'll leave you to it. Tell us what you reckon afterward, though!

And if no one minds, I'm gonna go to the IC thread and introduce the Bugs. I just had an evil, evil idea for how to bring them in!

 

[DeathsKnight]

LOL well it wasn't THAT bad, but so far the first one remains the best.

It's good to see that plans are being made to entertain us all. Love that about active RP writers

 

[DormantEvil]

I have a feeling I'm going to enjoy this RP!

Bring on the bugs and mass ammunition usage.

 

[DormantEvil]

Forgive the double post...but what are the rules on posting too often, lol.

 

[DeathsKnight]

I don't know if there is any moderator rules on that. I think there is no problem just as long as you don't run away with the story and leave some of the people behind

 

[Varshanka]

some people are allowed to run away with me...

 

[Varshanka]

i was curious about the psychic manifestation that may take place in potentials. will it be limited to telepathy? or the low grade - they went over that way?

what psychic powers may/will be available?

 

[DormantEvil]

I watched Marauder last night. Surprisingly I enjoyed it a hell of a lot. I think they used the fact people thought 2 was crap to keep that Starship Troopers comedy and acting, but I enjoyed the storyline and writing of this one much more.

And OMG, I wants a mobile suit...can I has?!

Worst case, I'll be epic suicide character sent in to help out...later on.

 

[DeathsKnight]

@ Vershanka: The psychic will be limited to the people who didn't pass the testing phase during training, but still has the ability. It would basically just be receiving commands or suggestions (like Rico in ST 1), but if you want to have it grow in a character you are welcome to it, then it would basically be all the powers available to a psychic

@Dormant: If you have received training for the mobile suit you can has, just like Thunder has

 

[DormantEvil]

Will we maybe come up against Scorpians or those flying grenade thingamajigs?

Not right now I don't think we need more on our plate, but could be encounter them in this RP.

 

[DeathsKnight]

The Kamikaze bugs? Yes we will. I'm thinking of introducing them and the scorpion bugs just before the marauders land.

Was wondering, who is in favor of letting the trek to base happen in one RP without incident? I would like to do that, but like I said, no running out on others

 

[DormantEvil]

You mean getting to base without any more attacks?

I'm up for it, I figure most of us will be low on ammunition by the end of this fight anyway. And without Maurader backup yet, it might get a little sketchy on how many of us would survive.

Worst case we could get forced back into the base by the Scorpions and Kamikazes.

Might give us something to aim for, and enough time before then to get some character development down.
