Here are my characters, pasted from elsewhere and slightly different from what they used to be. I'm working on some parts, but I may or may not even bother with putting up anything that I don't mention in an RP Full name: Xellav Rikans Status: Lieutenant; fighter pilot Species: Marrelkian (descended from genetically modified humans) Race: Gaulaivic Gender: Male Home planet: New Marrelkia Age: 23 (Earth years) Height: 7' 4" Weight: 275 lbs. Skin color: pale olive drab Eye Color: blue Hair color: blond Weapons used: -Nova Mk. 3: The latest aerial combat suit currently in use has a combining weapon system. When configured for flight, the weapons consist of a powerful laser, though it requires a 30 second recharge for every 10 seconds of fire. However, when configured for walking, the weapon automatically disassembles into a small plasma cannon with a high rate of fire, and a grenade launcher. Skills: Xellav is capable of piloting several types of small flight-capable vehicles currently in use by the Marrelkian Union, though he is not what one would call a good driver when it comes to ground vehicles (his hover-bike being the exception). His aim with hand-held weapons is about average, though he is not so great with long-range weapons (i.e. sniper rifles). Xel always pushes the limits of his fighter and has a history of pulling off maneuvers that most wouldn't try, and has surprisingly managed not to lose his pilot's license to disciplinary action. Personality: To other pilots, Xel is known for being one of the most vicious fighter pilots. He'd be highly decorated for his achievements in battle if it weren't for the fact that he almost always ignores orders to not pursue targets. However, when he's not behind the controls of his fighter, his seldom social interactions involve wild partying and being a living testament to the strength of the marrelkian liver. Ship(s): - Morning Star (was assigned to; did not pilot/command): Union battle cruiser/carrier hybrid. Employs the use of wormhole generation technology, allowing the vessel to cover great distances in moments. This allows the vessel to cover long distances in a shorter amount of time than warp travel. Since wormhole generation technology has not been perfected, it is more practical to use light speed for shorter distances. - APF-09 Raven: The Union's newest all-purpose fighter. Weapon pods can quickly be changed out, enabling it to be changed into a bomber, fighter, attacker, or interceptor in a short amount of time. To cut down on the size and weight of the vehicle, inside space is limited to allow room for little more than the pilot and storage of weapons. Not ideal for the claustrophobic. The vehicle's wormhole generator is only able to work over "short" distances and must be recharged at an energy pylon. The Raven does not have a warp drive. - Typhoon TZ3-M: Popular racing hover-bike modified for use by the Union's military and police forces. Known for its excellent handling, tight turn radius, and remarkable acceleration. Performance is best when used on any smooth surface, including water. Also has retractable wheels to allow travel over rough terrain, however, this severely widens the turning radius and decreases the acceleration. - RP-35 Recharging Pylon: Large crystalline sphere inside a pair of energy transfer rings which intersect perpendicular to each other at opposite ends of the sphere. Recharges wormhole generators, vehicle power cells, and energy based weapon pods. Designed to recharge smaller vessels, such as fighters. Can charge up to four vessels simultaneously. Once the pylon has been drained of its energy, it can be recharged using solar or electrical energy. Armored accessories: Marrelkian Nova Mk 3 ACS (aerial combat suit) Brief history: (Coming soon) ***** Full name: Dilarsk Qui'rae Status: Enforcer (Union's police force; bounty hunter) Race: Uthlium Caste: Master Gender: Asexual Home planet: Ulrigas; race later relocated to Parimas Age: 276 Height: 6' in hominid form (usually) Weight: 570 lbs. Skin color: silver Eye Color: N/A Hair color: N/A Weapons used: - Physiology: being uthlium, which is a living element similar in atomic structure to mercury, Dilarsk is made of metal. He is capable of forming blades and other single part weapons from himself, being able to shift between a solid and a liquid state almost at will. - Drones: Dilarsk can control just about any lower form of uthlium, and most commonly he uses drones. Each drone is bred to be capable of certain things, leading to a wide variety of drones. Because of the liquid properties of uthlium, Dilarsk is able to merge his drones with his body for easy transporting and then later release them for a task. Mostly, he uses snares, controllers, and observers, but he does have more than these. Skills: He is able to turn himself into a liquid form, allowing him to seep through porous material and doors that are not completely sealed. Dilarsk does not need to breathe to survive, so he can survive in any atmosphere that cannot erode metal and does not exceed temperatures above 1400 F or fall below -250 F. However, being made of metal, he, like all uthlium, has a weakness to magnetic fields. If any uthlium is magnetized, it will stiffen and become immobilized until it is out of the magnetic field. He is also unable to go near metal detectors. Extremes of heat and cold can be fatal. Personality: (Coming soon) Ship(s): - Typhoon TZ3-M - APF-07 Gryphon: All-purpose fighter designed by the Union, later replaced by the APF-08 Specter, which was also later replaced by the APF-09 Raven. Though a little outdated, the Gryphon is still a respected fighter and is popular by military flight instructors throughout the Union. This fighter is compatible with the weapon pods used by the Specter and Raven. In comparison to the later fighters, the Gryphon is slower than both the Specter and the Raven, but it has better agility than the Specter. Note: the engines on Dilarsk's fighter have been modified to make them compatible with both the Union's pylons and the Federation's "equivalent" to eliminate the need to carry around a pylon. Armored accessories: Until the Union develops something that deflects magnetism without hindering him in anyway, he won't use armor. Brief history: (Coming soon) ***** Full name: Renael Tervim Status: SOG (Special Operations Group) Sniper Species: Marrelkian Race: Gaulaivic Gender: Female Home planet: New Marrelkia Age: 19 (Earth years) Height: 6' 11" Weight: 218 lbs. Skin color: pale olive drab Eye Color: violet Hair color: black Weapons used: - X320 sniper rifle: Gauss/plasma combination rifle. Although it has a slower rate of fire than the 310, it makes up for it in fire power and accuracy. Uses .70 caliber rounds made from the hardest usable alloy. Scope is capable of zooming in on a target up to two miles away and can be used with the suit's imaging systems to aid in accuracy. - X20 handgun - Ghost mines - X15 spark gun: Handgun that fires bolts of electricity. Voltage can be adjusted; ranges from a mild shock to fatal discharge. Use while wet is not advised. Skills: Renael is considered to be one of the military's elite, and is thought to be a candidate for the Shadows, the official replacement for the disbanded Helldog unit, which was responsible for some of the most pivotal victories in recent history. She is a highly skilled sharpshooter and is well-trained in various martial arts present in the Union. Unfortunately, she can't speak any English, so she must rely on either a computer or someone who speaks both Marrelkian and English to translate. Because she lacks the training, Renael's piloting skills are limited to driving common ground vehicles (I.E. cars, trucks, hover-bikes, and motorcycles). Personality: For the most part, she keeps to herself, and rarely engages in conversation. She seems to suffer from depression and viganst zilfgant (literally: trauma sickness; PTSD), the onset of which appears to have been immediately following one of her first missions at the beginning of the current war with the Nerimskrili Confederation. Since her return from that mission, she has shunned anyone who tries to get friendly with her, sometimes even getting violent. Ship(s): Armored accessories: - Phantasm Mk2C LIS (light infantry suit): The third variant of the Phantasm Mk2 LIS is outfitted with the latest in stealth technology. The active camouflage system renders the suit (and the wearer, by default) almost completely invisible by causing it to transmit all non-ultraviolet light with only about .5% refraction, and virtually no shadow. The vision systems are the standard arrangement of IR, UV, normal, EM, and night vision. Brief history: Renael grew up in a semi-rural neighborhood, youngest of eight and having only one sister (Jana, a member of Lt. Rikans's fighter squadron). She was always in her sister's shadow, and always being either less preferred or overlooked entirely. As a result, she had self-esteem and confidence issues as an adolescent, but also developed a strong need to prove that she is better than Jana. A couple years after her sister joined the military (which was given rather high regards by their family), her own decision to join the military wasn't taken seriously. Convinced that her family had always thought less of her, she virtually disowned them, and refused to accept any messages from her family. Shortly after joining, she met and fell in love with another soldier, a drop ship pilot by the name of Zayvohk Rahenlizak (her first and, to date, only boyfriend). After successfully completing her first mission, the drop ship was shot down shortly after recovery. Her team had all survived the crash, and she was ordered to stay behind and attend to the pilot while the others re-secured the area. After pulling him from the wreckage and determining that he wouldn't survive his injuries, she realized that the pilot was Zayvohk. Panicking, she tried as hard as she could to save him, but they both knew he was lost. He handed her his weapon and begged her to end his pain. After some coaxing, she did it. The team returned to find her holding him with his head on her shoulder, crying and screaming herself hoarse. Other than to acknowledge an order, she didn't speak for a week afterward. Since his death, she's become bitter, and refused to allow anyone to be close to her, and her only dreams are of their last moments together. At the same time, she's also become a much more efficient fighter, eager to end the war that destroyed her life. Edited by Alkarii, Oct 21 2008, 06:19 PM.

Just a quick announcement, I made a minor change to the character profiles, as well as a minor change to my Races & Groups post (post #9 in that thread). (EDIT: didn't even think to include the damn changes... here it is) Marrelkian Dominion has been changed to Marrelkian Union (found out what a dominion was, and it turns out it was pretty much a colony, and not an independent nation or whatever. The other change, not much. I changed Nerimskrili Union to Nerimskrili Confederation. I didn't want there to be any kind of confusion, which is why I try to make sure different nations or whatever have a different category. Edited by Alkarii, Oct 16 2008, 05:56 AM.

I made an edit to Xel's armor, and the changes to Renael's suit will be made tomorrow. I'll start a tech thread which will have all the info on my material. |

HOT DAMN! I finally managed to update one of the profiles. Hopefully I won't be lazy and actually finish the damn thing tomorrow. This time I completely changed Renael's personality section, and I put together the history section as well. The whole thing came to me as fully formed ideas, but the long part was typing it up since I was watching The Punisher at the same time. This seems like a much better character design, doesn't it? Let me know what you think. Edited by Alkarii, Oct 16 2008, 01:47 AM.

Okay, I think I've finished Renael's sheet for now. There's a few details I've left off of the armor, but I'll probably put that in the tech thread later. Also, could you guys please give me feedback? |
