[VeljkoM]

So no for Tauren Marines....

 

[Tahril]

If you want to, I suppose. It's completely up to you.

 

[varsaigen]

Transport: The BSTr Mirona, a heavily armed and armoured marine transport. Built to infiltrate the enemy lines during battle and forcefully dock with them, fending off attacks at the same time. In short, it charges fearlessly into the enemy fleet just to deliver the marines to the enemy. Being able to take a beating, and hold off the enemy at the same time, it is perfect for ricky procedures where disrupting a fleet's capitol ship is essential.

Charecter: Marine General Skyguard, servicing under Black Sun military programs his entire career, he is one of the most trusted and feared marines to have made general. The one to send teams on dangerous squad missions, and to lead the deadliest himself, he looks up to the Grand Admiral as a sort of hero. Younger than the admiral by thirty years, he doesn't remember too much of what home was like before refugees found their home on Shakuras. Tough, calm, and dangerous, General Skyguard is not a Chozo to cross.

Updated.

 

[StormWarriors2]

Space marines just like tahril. but there are 5 scouts that come with the squad. Close Combat SGT with Chain sword and bolt pistol (matters on mission), Heavy Support SGT (usually uses heavy bolter or rocket launcher), Space Marine Tacitcal SGT (uses bolter with sight), 2 space marines (2 bolters both use sights). 5 scouts (go ahead of units during the entrance. You don't really need to know history but here.
Chapter Storm Crusaders.
It was created10,000 years ago at the 2nd founding. Geneseed ?????

 

[StormWarriors2]

The Storm Crusaders also known as the Black fists have been at war with many xenos creatures though the chapter finally being revealed in the festival of the blades many chapters were surprised of the swordsmen ship of each of the Storm crusaders marine. It has also been noted that many of the chapter have an unusual amount of psykers and companies. In Total There are 30 companies each having 4 librarians in the exception to the 20th and 19th companies. The chapter in battle is fierce ally and foe most of the chapter already being battle scared veterans the chapters tactics are quite simple fall from the sky like angels. The chapter’s home world Drancrois also known as Kainlon. The chapter has since then used a teleporter known to them as a warp gate. (Focused Warp energy) they were able secertely to tranpsort marines into gaxalies and learn of other alien cultures.

 

[Tahril]

Updated.
Also, my marines are only similar to the Space Marines. They have more in common with the Sisters of Battle, aside from their natural flight-capable wings. My 'Close Combat' Sgt. is equipped with a Jump Pack for heavier impact damage. They are all female, but use cybernetics that are the same as or perform the same function.

 

[varsaigen]

perhaps it would be a good idea to post what race they are. Just to make sure.

Mine are the bird-like Chozo but not the Metroid series' Chozo, just bird-like humanoids No wings due to evolution

 

[Tahril]

Mine are a race of fairie-like creatures that are human-sized.

 

[Tleno]

Can I be a genetist who own his small research company?

 

[Tahril]

Sure. Do you have a name?

 

[sacridshadow]

aren't we doing a competition in this RP? war games, as I recall. Why would a geneticist be in the games? I'm willing to bet that each planet held a competition to see who would go to represent their planet.

 

[varsaigen]

what? He can't be a genecist who came on his own accord to collect some samples that could be fragile, or do some tests? Yet gets caught in the middle of a multi-way war?

 

[Tahril]

Hey, if it works, it works.
Quote: "The end justifies the means."

 

[Tahril]

Also, everybody is going to start on a planet of my choice if they don't choose. Actions are gonna be per day. You get 1 each, plus extra for better work. I.E. a speedy capture would be +1 action.

 

[sacridshadow]

umm, so how is this gonna work? It sounds like capture the flag or king of the hill so far. Why not elimination tournament? XD I'm going to post my character really soon. I just finished him, but have to do my team. XD

 

[varsaigen]

why not 3 actions a day after someone else has posted? And, if no one posts by the next day, it just refreshes, instead of adding up

 

[sacridshadow]

ok, I've got my character and the equiptment done. one member of my personal team is done. Just so you know, my fighting style is going to be very different than anyone elses. Now i'm going to try finishing the team. XD

 

[Tahril]

Fine, 3 per day. One on arrival, though. Var, post your action please? I'm waiting till tomorrow.

 

[sacridshadow]

Character: Nova A.K.A. the Shadow Commander
Nova is a bird-like species on the planet Ketaira. Resembling a humanoid blue jay, Nova has wings on his his back, with two arms that are similiar to his feet. (see picture in group gallery.) Nova serves under the military and recently became a commander. He has two other ketairans with him, one being a hacker and the other being a communications specialist.

 

[sacridshadow]

((Continued))
Transport: Nova is currently off duty, as there is no war going on. He trains on a daily basis on his command ship, the Kestrel. The Kestrel was designed as the only ship of its class, taking ten years to build. The consoles require that the user have thin claws, like a bird's claws. The Kestrel is the equivelant of a Corvette, with anti fighter and small cap ship technology. It has a polorized shield and fires bursts of energy from it's revolving turrets. The ship is reletively small, and only needs a few people to control it. The ship has a robot that controls the ships movemets and orders. Only listening to the commander, it can access the ship's computer remotely, otherwise using the control console.

 

[varsaigen]

your... going to risk a CORVETTE through a heavy asteroid field with a few billion turrets hidden throughout?!?! Your screwed...

 

[sacridshadow]

Does the asteroid field completely surround the planet and/or moons? (unless those were the moons)

 

[Tleno]

Character: Tleno (who needs creating new name? I've got used to this one...), Human Genetist.
tleno is quite talented but quite poor genetist. He has great, abitious plans that would benefit to whole universe, but he has no money for research and nobody is intrested in his projects. Only way to get enough money and research subjects can be recieved only by work for money as mercenary, scravanging devices and dead bodies from battlefields and getting samples of rare species from dangerous planets by yourself. Altrough he is a "good guy", he will do everything to finish his research.

 

[Tleno]

(Continued from above)
Tleno has a companion, *Couldn't find a good name, maybe you could help with one*.
Its a lizardman clone (I love lizards...), with his DNA. Its forbiden to clone humans, but its not forbiden to make human-like creatures. *Lizard-clone* is completely ideal clone without any weaknesses that other clones have and Tleno loves him like his son. Also he has few (9, 10 before one of them got broken) old, outdated robot models to take care of his shop.
Transport: Old frigate, now used as research craft, "Marie Curie". Has basic weapontry, allowed to be used by Civilians to protect themselves from Pirates. Shields/engines/systems were modified so the ship would not be so weak.
Also its home and workplace to Tleno, all the work of his life is there. There are his labs and living quarters...

 

[Tahril]

Sacrid, the systems are protected by an asteroid sphere. You have to use Warp Tunnels to get from one to the other.
Tleno, try www.behindthename.com It's got all kinds of names, and meanings also.

 

[StormWarriors2]

oh yeah the storm Crusader Ship. It is a Space Hulk. (if you know what it is just tell the other guys about it who don't know.) The Space Hulk's Name is Valor of War, it is upgraded to fit the requirements for deep space travel this holds at least 3 compaines of space marines. It also has a large amount of ships that travel with it. Though small in number they can deal a devasting punch. Though deep in space they have found a world to harbor at. So far they have built a base of operations and have found a eldar webway there. The Archoaleogical sight is still being looked at and research is being done to study it and the eldar weaponry that was there. (quick question are we doing stargates? or are we doing planet side warfare? if so the space marines will own with the drop pods.)

 

[Tahril]

Aren't Space Hulks piles of spaceship ruins?

 

[varsaigen]

How is Storm already getting the orders to build a fortress? What planet is he even on!?!? And... teleportation from... the ship that flew off? There are too many oles its making me insane!!! D:

Well, Black Sun never found a Warp Tunnel. We had 5 long days of switching out pilots when going through the asteroid field in a TRANSPORT XD Avoiding thousands of asteroids in the process

 

[Tahril]

Meh. You'll find out about them soon enough.

 

[Tahril]

Strom, this is planetside. Ground battles. Drop pods won't kill special characters, and the Thunderhawks drop them.

 

[sacridshadow]

Storm, the only reason we'll be using our ships is to go from planet to planet through the warp tunnels. That is our mode of transportation. You won't need a lot of firepower.

and tahril, I'm not retired, I'm more-or-less on leave. It's going to be extended leave soon. lol (for the games. XD)

 

[Tahril]

'Kay. Must not've been thinking, I'm sorta sick right now.

 

[StormWarriors2]

answer to that is this. Space marines always have a couple of escort ships. Space Hulks are not that they are massive Star Ships that are as big as a large moon.

 

[sacridshadow]

ok, that is massive. lol I doon't quite think you realise how large that is. My ship is about the size of the rebel blockade runner in Star Wars IV, the one that was taken by the star destroyer.

 

[varsaigen]

so... your taking a moon through an ASTEROID field? Not to mention all those turrets that will reconize your shize of ship, and the fact that its not a large rock? Youa re practically taking a slow moving ship through the stoning and shredding process! D:

 

[sacridshadow]

lol I can pass right on through without being targeted. Since they'll be focusing on him, I literally could fly past the turrets.

 

[varsaigen]

lol true Well, my Mirona managed to move through the asteroid field with 5 dangerous days of nearly being pulverized by 1 rock on any side

 

[Tahril]

Well, var, technically his Space Hulk is a pile of space rocks and crap. That includes spaceship wreckage, though.
Storm, what planet are you on, for the last time?
Sacrid, it'll get easier. Trust me.

Anyways, Day 1 has passed. Var and I get our three actions, while the rest of you need to choose a planet.

 

[varsaigen]

rofl XD
I have to ask though, are the actions actually 3 posts? Or 3 vague/described actions? (setting down on the planet, checking surroundings, and setting off to explore a bit, all in one post)

 

[sacridshadow]

tahril, since I'm going to the planet with asteroids all over it, I assume that I've already chosen my planet. XD unless you mean homeworld or HQ. XD

 

[varsaigen]

the entire system/systems are protected by vast asteroid fields or other defenses

 

[sacridshadow]

Ok, here's a list of my team members.
Nova AKA Shadow Commander (me)
Rane (computer specialist and radio officer)
(engineer)
ship's robot (still have to pick a name)

My Roster:
Greyetric (lightning)
Sandurnask (ground)
Lycodirus (ice)
Seraphim (fire)
Scyrex (metal)
Aquaticus (water)
Huntrash (ghost/metal)
Golondra (flying)

 

[varsaigen]

and they are all receptable to bullets!

 

[sacridshadow]

ok, var, do you think people are going to be using bullets? I don't think so, lasers are more affective in futuristic times.

 

[varsaigen]

still saying. But lasers will melt in and scorch fur

 

[sacridshadow]

yeah, but they have devistating attacks, and you won't want to get hit by them. lol if you have metal on your armor, you'll be sure to ttract the lightning. XD fire would heat it up, and the ice would freeze you, or make you VERY cold, whether it hits your skin or not. XD The rest, are for other things. XD This will be a lot of fun, cause my way of fighting isn't going to be as direct as yours will, with the guns and all. XD

 

[varsaigen]

I see... It's Hellion's form of attacking. (one of my charecters in another RP) Using the enviroment, if I am correct in assuming your using this strategy.
