Space Expeditions: The Next Generation

Character Applications Thread

Here after a small delay on account of procrastination, a bunch of real life business and a stomach pathogen, but we're finally back for a second season folks!!

Character Application

App:

Character Name:

Age:

Biography:

Role:

Special:

RolesGenerally this can still be Engineering, Pilot, Explorer, but I think we can add Medical, Security, etc.  (not sure if anyone would want to go into Supply or Operations (Comms), but I'll add those as well as possibilities to sort of get full things going there in the realism department )

Suggestions?If anyone has any great ideas for things to add on the character application thread, feel free to also leave suggestions and comments!  No sense in leaving this a stingy thread after it's been filled with applications, in my opinion! 

Character Name: Aurelius Áedán Völund Alexsandrov

Age: 42

Biography: Aurelius was born in the Imperial City in Acaria within Wintreath. He is the younger brother of Grand Prince Alexsandr Von Erikson who happened to command the last mission Wintreath sent out. At the age of 7, Aurelius took a liking to exploring electronics and the droids Acaria had in production. Soon, he began making modifications to the Alexsandrov household droids. His parents decided to send him to the Imperial Academy of Engineering and Science, a famous and prestigious boarding school in the Imperial City. There, he was known to become a prodigy. However, Aurelius was a bit of a troublemaker and was always on the verge of being expelled. Despite that, he managed to barely graduate from the Imperial Academy when he was 17. Afterward, he was accepted into the Acarian University of Technology, a Wintreath popular university for the sciences and engineering. After his 2nd year, Aurelius dropped out of AUT and joined the Wintreath Officer Institute of Military Engineering and Science. He soon graduated and became an Engineering Officer in the Wintreath military at the age of 25, where he had a successful military career and served for 12 years. In the middle of his career, Aurelius started a personal project of his: to create a droid companion. He retired at age 37 from the military on top of his family fortune and moved into a cozy home in the Imperial City, his birthplace. There, he was finally able to finish his personal project at age 40 and created a semi-sentient droid. Soon, he heard of the second Wintreath mission to explore space. He remembered his ancestor Grand Prince Alexsandr von Erikson and decided to join the expedition. He signed up as soon as he was ready and was excited to explore new worlds.

Contemporary Character Description: Aurelius is tall at a height 6'4". He has light, golden, blonde hair and has emerald green eyes. For being 42, Aurelius does seem quite young for his age as he looks like he's in his mid to late 20's. He has a slender build. Often times, he does not wear clothes that would represent him being a noble and often has a pair of goggles on. Aurelius is usually an outgoing and energetic guy, but he has quite the temper.

Role: Robotics Artificer

Special: A sarcastic semi-sentient droid companion which is upgradeable. His humour setting is at 75%.
(He does have some practical uses though)

Character Name: Julio Perez

Age: 20

Biography: Julio was born to a well respected military family from Thalasus within Wintreath. His father was a powerful naval admiral, his mother was a well to do lobbyist for a military vehicle manufacturer, and his brother was one kill away from becoming an ace pilot when he was shot down in one of Thalasus' numerous trade skirmishes. He showed an exemplary aptitude for aerospace mechanical engineering and was a halfway decent pilot in simulations. However, as a result of his tendencies towards delinquency he nursed since he was a child and because of his strong socialist sympathies during the short lived Thalasi civil war, Julio was very much the black sheep of the family. The only one who actually liked and cared for Julio was his brother, who died in the skies over Eurasia. After intentionally flunking out of the military school he was forced to attend, he spent some time as an itinerant aircraft mechanic. After seeing an advertisement for the next space expedition, he applied on a whim, thinking it would be something fun to do. He was a little bit surprised when he made it past the preliminary rounds, and decided that he would work hard at it to show up the rest of his family. He made it past the training rounds and finally got accepted onto the crew as one of the engineers and a secondary pilot.

Julio is 5'11", 185 pounds with a fit build. He has mid-length black hair (usually kept under a Wintreath Space Agency brand baseball cap), dark blue eyes, and a dark skin tone. He has a cynical attitude and a dark worldview, but he isn't at all unfriendly and understands the importance of social cohesion for this mission. He's also bisexual, though he prefers women.

Role: Engineer, with a focus on propulsion systems, hull service, and moving parts. Novice pilot who really shouldn't fly unless there's an emergency.

Special: He doesn't carry any unique equipment except for a loaded gun that he smuggled aboard as a keepsake of the planet he left behind. It's a Colt M1911, chrome-plated, with an inlaid pattern of silver and gold jungle leaves, radium lined sights, and carved oak grip with his monogram burned into it. Julio's not a very violent person so he kept it around simply because he appreciated the craftsmanship, but it certainly has its uses.

EDITS: spelling errors, stupid writing mistakes, added a physical and psychological description.

I guess I need to weigh in before my desired spot is taken.

Character Name: Namora Yllaen

Age: 26

Bio: female, 6'1", white skin, black hair, green eyes. Will get more in depth later.

Role: Chief Engineer

Special: is really good at making something out of mismatched parts. Also has some training in self defense.

I was not involved in the last one am I still allowed to join in? And if my Wintreath Nation was not in the last one can I still use it? If yes then this is my application, if no, than please disregard I apologize

Character Name: Kal Vau

Age: 29

Biography: Born in Yaim Rusur, Kal was raised as any boy was, like a super Spartan. He was trained in every weapon they had in the school, specializing in machete and carbines. In school he also excelled in history and engineering.  He joined security forces because that's quite literally what he was raised to do. He is 5'11, with blond hair and dark brown eyes. He features a heavy Yaim Rusur accent, and is rather flirtatious, but knows when to stop. Gained in his time in highschool, Kal features several scars, which he proudly refers to as "GPA boosters and manly make-up."


Role: Security

Special: Born and raised in Yaim Rusur, Kal wears the armor proudly, and often talks to himself in Mando'a.

Isn't this taking place not long after the first one ended since we're trying to save the last crew? How is Zemas' character a distant descendant of the first Captain then?

And I'll be making a character soon. Won't be as complex as the last one.

I may have misread the timespan between the last expedition and this one. I'll have to go and edit the family tree then.

Ah, an easy mistake to make. We jumped around about what we were going to do about 20 times.

I have fixed the timespan-relationship issue. :p

Yeah this is the first mission. The second one will occur hopefully rather quickly after this one has been completed. Though there's some (well warranted) skepticism there that I hope to crush

I've just noticed some glaring continuity problems with my character's relationship to Alexsandr. I'm rereading Space Expeditions to get a hold on the lore we set up.

I'm uncertain how much of the previous RP I am expected to be familiar with to join now, I haven't read it all... I think to be safe I'd like to join as a non-essential support role, you can reject me now if you want to or I can be written out later if it doesn't work out. If it might work out though, here's my character.

Character Name: Leira Sardior

Age: 26

Bio: Quiet, from spending so much time observing surroundings and the behavior of people and rarely thinking to speak up and participate, Leira values knowledge, especially the complexities of how people make decisions. Finding that this is not enough, Leira would like to join this expedition to document the behaviors of alien species, while using her expertise to help the crew as their counselor when this is not possible.

Appearance: Female, 5'4", light skin, black hair, green eyes.

Role: Counselor / Xenopsychologist

Special: Skilled and blending in to human and non-human crowds due to skill at analyzing and mimicking behavior. Useful for gaining closer analysis and information.

You don't have to be familiar with the previous roleplay to join in. It will only help for the first bit but otherwise it's not really needed to know of the previous roleplay.

In fact, not knowing about the first roleplay should actually be quite good for this new one, because nobody really knows what happened to the ship and her crew...

So my usage of Yaim Rusur is alright I am assuming?
