Nation Name: Raktio
Name: Selena Longstreet
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Appearance: She's only four foot eleven
http://media.desura.com/cache/images/me ... rl_011.jpg
Class: Pilot, it's only 1/2 to 2/3 the demonstrated size.
Short Bio: Born a Martian she's perfectly used to planetside and with her family in the cargo shipping business saw to her making several trips into space and the constant presence of mechas which she occasionally played on. Being shorter than everybody else she took on learning Jujitsu, and Aikido fairly early on in life and later learning Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Krav Maga. After her mother died her father, trying to protect her, set several limiting factors to ensure her better safety. Taking it the wrong way she hung out with less reputable company for a while and nearly caused her father a heart attack from all the dangerous stuff she did. She eventually did improve who she was friends with but still annoyed by the restrictions set by her father went ahead and became a freelance mecha pilot mercenary.
RP Sample: MTG rpg (I've also played with Luxa, Utforp and I'm pretty sure URA as well before).

Sleep is for the weak... and those who don't suffer from chronic insomnia... have a nice night friend.

Geez, a Four foot eleven pilot eh? This'll be interesting given my own character is 6'4" not including his operator's exo-suit which adds an extra inch in height... :shrug: He on the other hand is most definitely the pilot in all respects of the word, so yeah... that will all be revealed in the end.

The first time I flew fighters in sim, I was SOOOO unprepared for how unstable they were.... I mean, they were bouncing EVERYWHERE.

I was just more suited for bombers. They are easier to control, and they don't flat spin when doing a 360. Truth be told, the larger the plane is, the more precision movements and whatnot I can do. My B-25 and B-17 are my favorite to fly, but, I can fly some fighters.

That's just why I felt I should ask for mission pilot on this. :P

Having a dick-waving contest over who can be ship pilot doesn't make much sense, seeing as how Vancon considered it unimportant enough to relegate to an NPC.

Like literally, you will have a post or two describing lift off and docking with the gate, then you're out of the picture.

My greatest was probably rescuing the crew of said Mun lander. That and building a VTOL bomber.
