Strike Witches 2012 (Closed, OOC)

Yeah, been there, done that. I went and looked up how to do it, then went and actually tried to do it. It failed. Miserably.

Of course, I could do Engineer, but that seems rather easy.

I'd take the challenging route just for some experience. You'll get better by doing.

Okay, I'll give it a shot then. Application form will be coming sometime tomorrow, then.

If it's not too late to sign up, and if you're willing to accept someone who's never really RP'ed before, I'd like to join.

Witch Application:

Rank: Lance Corporal

Nationality: Liberion
Familiar: English Bulldog
Magical Ability: Able to increase engine and weapon power for a short time.
Striker Unit: F/A-18E Super Hornet
Armament: M16A2 rifle with M203 grenade launcher (or, if we're equipping them with aircraft weapons, an M61 Vulcan cannon)
Height (optional): 4'9" (145 cm)
Weight (optional): 110 lbs (49.9 kg)
Likes (optional): Training, flying, fighting.
Dislikes (optional: Rules that she feels don't make sense, over-formality, waiting, cowards, insults directed at her comrades.
Biography: The daughter of an engineer and a witch who live near a military airfield, Beatrice grew up admiring soldiers and longing for the day she could join the military herself. When her powers manifested at age 12, she was immediately taken into training by the Liberion Marine Corps. In training, she distinguished herself as a gifted markswoman and flyer, but was denied a commission for her repeated refusals to obey rules that she felt didn't make sense. She volunteered to be assigned to the 501st because she wants to fight and kill Neuroi.
RP Sample: None that actually went anywhere, but I think I can follow your lead.

Accepted. Now go post. We're in the hangar, preparing to take off.

[Imota]

Thanks. Which weapon do I use?

[Rupudska]

The M16A2 will work.

Also, that reminds me, we'll have 4 arcs, with 4 different Neuroi core. Each one features a superfighter. I'm going to be lazy and make the i3 (Or ATD-X or whatever) this arc's 6-th gen. Next up will be Orussia's 6th-gen, then the EU's 6th-gen, then lastly Liberion's 6th gen, with increasing amounts of whoopass.

If there will be an lulzy gen five stealth fighter, can I have an automatic 105mm L118 to shoot it down with?

Nope. We're going with epic 6th-gens that are pretty much going to be the more 'realistic' Ace Combat series superfighters.

Except we'll have the FALKEN, simply because the FALKEN is badass. And would look pretty good as a Striker.

And now it's time to choose aviator call signs and position.

Your aviator call sign is a nickname you pick yourself. They are easy to pronounce and rarely more than three syllables. They are also usually one word. They're not always endearing, either. These can be used by any military personnel to contact you or get your attention, although they're rarely used by troops who don't know you, and never by civilians.

Your position is the number that follows the squadron call sign, in the case of the 501st, the squadron call sign is Morgan. Like aviator call signs, they are used instead of your real name in communications. Unlike aviator call signs, they can be used by anyone, even civilians. Soldiers who do not know you will usually address you by saying "Morgan" and then your position number. For example, Sohvi is the squadron leader and is thus Morgan One. Ruya is the executive officer of the squadron. She's second in command, so she's Morgan Two.

I've already made it canon that Tokugawa is Morgan Three.

So, here's the chart for now:

Position	Name	Aviator call sign
Morgan One	Sohvi Häyhä	"Snipe"
Morgan Two	Ruya el-Amin	"Cipher"
Morgan Three	Tokugawa no Himiko
Morgan Four	Sybil Picton

I call the callsign "Philologus".

Engineers can have callsigns too, right?

Witch Application:
Name: Kristin
Age (12-20): 15
Rank: I don't know, you decide. Probably a low one.
Appearance/Pic:http://postimage.org/image/pd1st64wn/
Nationality: Brittania
Familiar: Hawk
Magical Ability: Wind? Maybe, I'm not quite sure. Feel free to suggest one.
Striker Unit: 401st
Armament: <don't know>
Height (optional): 5.7 feet.
Weight (optional): 120 pounds
Likes (optional): loud music, art, shooting things, cats, overformality.
Dislikes (optional: Talking to people (mildly shy), Neuroi, cold weather, rain, alarm clocks, dogs, overly annoying and talkative people.
Biography: Born to an engineer and a doctor in Brittania, Kristin joined a training school at twelve, at the reveal of her being a witch. She isn't the first witch from her family, but the family's line of witches hasn't been a long one. Despite her lineage, her powers were slightly weaker than the rest of the class, but she managed to stay ahead in the classes with a bit of luck. She was always mildly interested in becoming a witch, merely because of her grandmother, and when she heard of the opportunity to join the 401st, she seized it.
RP Sample: Go to the Arrival beginning post. That's a good example of my writing. I don't do a lot of one-character stuff, though.

Since I have watched one episode too much of a Royal Canadian Air Force documentary... and thus learned that Aviator Call Signs are usually assigned by their squadron-mates... I will be leaving it up to you dudes coming that up...
Just don't go... obscene as some did.
Anyways... Morgan Four calling in.

[Wolfenium]

I'd take Morgan Five then, as much as I'd like six instead. As for callsign, as ABH said, I'll leave that to you guys.

[Imota]

I'll take Morgan Six, then. As far as callsign goes, I'll follow suit and leave it to Beatrice's squadron mates. (She's based in part on legendary Marine general Lewis "Chesty" Puller, but unlike the general, she doesn't really have any reason to be nicknamed Chesty, unless it's a jab at her lack of certain assets.)

EDIT: Actually, if Wolfenium wants Six, I'm willing to take Five. I figure "Chesty" will be her callsign with her old unit, and let the rest of you guys pick one out for this one.

No new posts in what, four days? I hope everyone's alright.

Coming up with callsigns is harder than I thought...

Loved the show... mind if I take a step in?

Witch Application:
Name: Maria Lucinda
Age (12-20): 19
Rank: Lance-Corporal
Appearance/Pic:

Nationality: Venezia
Familiar: Mouse
Magical Ability: Super-strength
Striker Unit: A10 Thunderbolt II
Armament: GAU-8 Avenger
Height (optional): 5’1”
Weight (optional): 93lbs
Likes (optional): Violence, Alcohol, Mice, White, Classical opera, Guns, Messy rooms, Hard work, Kamen Rider, Endurance flights.
Dislikes (optional): Order, Disloyalty, Quiet, Her nicknames.
Biography: Born an orphan to the war, 19 year old Maria Lucinda is a small mousy looking girl, someone you'd expect to be around 13 years old. However her looks tend to belie her true nature, a soldier whose fondness for alcohol borders on the absurd. Her laugh is notable due to the fact like it makes her sound like a complete lunatic and has thus provided the basis for nearly 100% of her nicknames and power tags. Maria is true to her desires, a trait which drove all of her previous commanders crazy, which has caused her to be transferred several times, each time however it was shortly revealed that the commanders just despised her which voided the punishment. After each of these happenings the commanders would attempt to welcome her back but to no avail, she would have moved on with her beloved striker unit, Lunatic. Her most recent transfer was brought on due to a misunderstanding that caused her to become separated from her squadron and nearly got them killed, this time she accepted the blame and willingly transferred to the 501st, seeing it as punishment to be forced into the "Legendary" unit where she'd have to be constantly reminded of her screw up. She specializes in short-range recon and aerial skirmishing.

Enh, sorry, I'm not sure whether I should just jump on, or whether I should just wait for a better opportunity.

And I don't even know if I'm in.

[Rupudska]

If anyone else with a Witch character wants to post, they may. I'll just edit the table to make them Morgan Three instead of GEIJD's char.

RP Sample:

AC-130 is too large an aircraft. You CAN choose a ground-attack aircraft, but you can't use anything with four engines. Or bombers.

[Hetland 2]

Will the A10 Thunderbolt II work?

Side note. If accepted her callsign will be Lunatic.

[Rupudska]

Will the A10 Thunderbolt II work?

Side note. If accepted her callsign will be Lunatic.

Of course the A 10 will work. I'd suggest you make your magical ability Superstrength then, so that you can use the ass-kicking GAU-8 Avenger.

How do you know my weakness to chainguns! *Nosebleed*
Will be modified. But I still like her current one too... because it applies to her hand guns as well.

Lets roll a die. High is strength; Low is efficiency.
5. Strength it is.
