Bliss - Recruiting

 Pages PREV 1 2 3 4 NEXT
 

Optional Opinion:

Name of the drug is Bliss. I think the sheet looks alright. Keep in mind that the Alien occupation is sort of passive-aggressive. They mostly work through the actual goverment and you dont see them have much of an effect safe for the massive cut in social-security and military spending.

OK, it's fixed. Is that all or is there any more constructive criticism?

Good for now.

I tried to make this character as balanced as possible, Tell me if there's any problems.

Area: the UK, England.

Name: Colin Sunwood

Nationality: English.

Age: 38.

Education: Advanced general healthcare, Practical emergency first aid experience.

Affiliation: Allied to the ruling government via career in the Military and police health services.

Appearance: 5ft 8inches, non-athletic but slim built, Usually wears plain shirts tie and trousers when off duty and a lab coat when he is. Cropped lightbrown hair with early flecks of grey, Always carries a pair of reading glasses and a penlight.

Familial status: Single, But parents and siblings survive elsewhere outside immediate travel range.

Social Status: Middle class worker, Would be well off if not for the alien occupation.

Notable Skills: Medical training for patent recovery as well as immediate aid for serious wounds, Has scattered knowledge of the alien agenda through patients but nothing of practical value, Once performed an emergency recovery of an alien during a riot and so knows a little of alien inner anatomy, Is recognised by enforcement in his local area and tends to be given slightly more liberty than the average citizen but is still subject to the same tight laws.

Personal Philosophy: Having grown up and been educated during the alien takeover living with aliens is very much he norm for him, Although he does recognise that life was better when humans had the planet to themselves. He does not wish for a mass extermination of alien kind but certainly sees the merit in humanity being given control of its own destiny as he seriously questions their motives. He has not worked towards accomplishing this goal particularly hard aside from offering aid to wounded rioters as he does not initially believe resistance will be successful.

Bio: Raised during the fall of earth his early memories are confusing and generally unpleasant, During adulthood he had garnered the skill necessary to practice medicine and went on to work as a police surgeon in order to gain some trust from the otherwise dystopian life on the streets. Through his career he has tended to rioters, rebels, citizens crushed under the heel of the law, Military and police enforcers and even the occasional alien. After seeing the effects of subjugation from wounded rebels brought to him he has little faith left in the resistance movement and can only hope for as painless an assimilation into the aliens plans as possible.

So when will we start this RP?

First of all - There is a long way to go. We need about 4-6 players for each area and enough GMs for those.
Sorry to disappoint you, but you should wait longer so other people will have the chance to join just like how you did.

Accepted, good to have at least one older person in the group.

First of all - There is a long way to go. We need about 4-6 players for each area and enough GMs for those. Secondly, you haven't been accepted yet.
Acting impatiently only decreases your chances of getting in... Sorry to disappoint you, but you should wait longer so other people will have the chance to join.

Sorry dude I wasn't being impatient, I was just wondering how long do you think it will take to start it up.

Nikolaz72:

Technetium:

Well.. Im gonna say its pending. Your character seems a bit too proffecient in fighting Aliens. To put it bluntly, I have nothing against blank slates. Your character has a lot of developement in the characterdepartment left to finish and im fine with that. However.

"He has sworn to get them out of this world and so far he has been successful!"

Sort of suggests that the resistance movement his in is winning? Or that his a pretty awesome guy. Now nothing wrong with that, but I'd like you to show 'why' his awesome by explaining about about 'how' he has been succesfull. How has this mere human engineer managed to outsmart and defeat ( In several conflicts in order to be pretty succesful) A hyperadvanced Alien race.

Nikolaz72:

Technetium:
Sorry bout that. Somehow it got cut off at the end. Anyway, I've made one change and retyped up what was missing :)

Well. . . A couple of flaws, merely lorebased. First of all, the resistance in England hasnt really gone fully gung-ho yet. And its far from a battlefield, the law enforcement in the area are mainly human (Mostly human, almost only human) So I dont think you have to worry about their weaponry. But I dont think theres a lot of chance of you having an improved advanced weapon. A good engineer would probably be able to make himself an improved normal weapon ^^. . . I would like you to have something to work for ingame. Materials for advanced weapon research, is hard to come by. speccialy for somebody working without funding. And you havent had time to gather everything on your own as you are... only 26. You were born after the occupation and as such I dont think they teach you weapon-making in the uni engineer course. So, have your engineer learn how to walk before he starts building plasma weaponry. Have him build a normal gun perhaps? Those are hard enough to come by in a pacifist nation occupied by a hypertechnological alien race.

Edited. Am happy to take any changes suggested.

Yeah hopefully more people will come, its got alot of potential mate I hope it goes ok for you

I forgot to check lately but here is my CS.


Let me know if it needs reworking or if I need to shorten the bio, I didn't realize how long it was until I was finished.

So having never done this before there are many, many errors and things I can change with what I just wrote. Please if you have suggestions and know of anything I should fix, tell me.

Area: UK

Name: Gill Stranton

Nationality: Born and raised in London.

Age: 25

Education: Recent graduate from Imperial College London with a masters degree in mechanical engineering.

Affiliation: Has nothing against the common aliens on the planet, really curious about their technology and is currently trying to get a job that will get him as close as possible to it.

Appearance: 5'11", small build, thick black hair, brown eyes

Familial status: Single, but have have a Mother and Father, and a sister who moved away and hasn't heard from in a long time.

Social Status: Currently looking for work as an engineering, working under alien technology or as close as possible.

Notable Skills: Knows technology earthly and some alien. Can build and disassemble almost anything. Has no idea how to fire a gun, but knows how to put one together. Has learned some alien language, but very basic, only what they could teach him in school.

Personal Philosophy: Just wants to do what he loves, and that is building things. Doesn't get involved in the political world, and has nothing against aliens BEING on the planet, but he does kind of feel weird being under their rule. Wishes they could live and trade together but would rather be under human rule.

Bio: The Stranton family has moved from country to country throughout most of the 20th century. They moved from Russia, to Israel, to Canada, and near the beginning of the 21st century they found themselves in the UK where they called home. It is said that every male in the Stranton family will eventually end up an engineer. Gill like his father and his father before him grew up with an interest in technology. Curious about how everything worked, he disassembled everything he could lay his hands on. Growing up under alien rule Gill hasn't known another life, but he doesn't really care too. He is happy in his life as long as he is able to achieve his goals. The aliens also bring Gill something the humans can't a challenge. His goal now is to get as high ranking as possible and work with the newest alien technology, not the scraps that the rebels can steal. Rebel groups have raised interest in Gill, but he wants no part in their political battles. He still remains in talking with smaller groups, so they can smuggle him some small bits of alien tech. here and there.

It looks good. Except, there arent really a lot of common aliens, England is ruled over mainly by its old goverment and its own law enforcement. Aliens are mostly behind-the-scenes.

Alright. Because of all the English characters, I think I'll made one a that isn't into tea and crumpets.


Once again, if it conflicts, I'll fix.

I like it, but the entire coast for at least a good ten miles, probably more is taken. there wouldn't be any human activity going on there such as building. I need you to change that to somewhere more inland.

Hello! Columbia Co-GM here, and I have been saddled with the--I mean, HONORED with the task of accepting or rejecting various characters for my little slice of hell.

I like your sheet a lot; tragedy is always a great motivator to want to shoot somebody. Definitely accepted.

mcpop9:

But how much of the language does he understand? The language itself is not pronounceable by humans.

He understands enough to read and write essay(s) in their language; I was also unaware that humans couldn't speak their tongue.

Looks good. W/C to the club.

To all players - We need more attention!
I suggest you shamelessly advertise this thread in this site (and perhaps in others... Shh....) so that others interested will be aware of it and join in the fun!
It will be tough playing with so little players, and it might even make this RP impossible to launch!
We are doing our best, and I urge you to help too!

This looks interesting. Expect a sheet from me sometime in the near future, as I would prefer to be on a computer rather than my phone, particularly to read the character sheets and make up my own.

Criticism is both encouraged and welcomed.

EDIT: Finished, criticism (constructive) is always welcome.

Redirecting all Australians to the UK due to a Co-GM leaving and less than the horde of players originally thought to rush here. It would be nice if you could edit your sheet to fit. Just wanted to inform you.

I want to join, but its my first time... are you guys ok with that?

If I'm going to be playing in the UK anyway could I play as my other character, Theo? I just feel like he's more developed and easier to get into.


It's your call, of course, and I'm ok with it either way.

His cool sure. . . Its nice having a couple of people working as normal civilians under occupation and not as rebels.

Alright I changed it to suit the UK now.

It was good... And I would accept but just one question, you made special mention of a gun. . But that he dropped it, but you didnt mention him picking it up again. Was it making a statement about his personality or that he had a gun on his person?

He was a member of a religious pacifistic group for the majority of years, he also doesn't have gun training of any sorts; pretty simple to gather. It was a spur of the moment jolt for him, he'd never touched a gun before and had never planned on using one, eventually he will most likely have to pick another up and learn how to use it but that's what character development (and arcs) is/are for.
