Of Grades And Grenades: Eureka Academy(OOC/RE-OPENING)

[Perestroikavo]

My military film knowledge is pretty much Black Hawk Down, my favorite war film. Also probably my favorite soundtrack ever.

But overall I don't have interest in military stuff, which is why this RP will be interesting for me as a change . Other knowledge just comes from video games and brief stuff I heard here and there.

Most FPS games other than Arma are not an accurate representation of actual military lingo.

"Master sarge shooter sarge ghost 1-6 golf 49er give me air support now!" *Immediate bombing of area commences.* Me: How did they know what kind of air support, and what the heck is that rank and callsign?

I was more referring to any military vehicle or gun "knowledge" I know comes from games. They haven't taught me much either, I just know gun types and some vehicle types now because of them.

Race: Original

Year Rate: Freshman

League Affiliation: Invictus

Subject Proficiency: INF primarily, NV secondary.

Age: 13

Origin: 22nd July, Cornwall, British

Sex: Female

Gender: Not exactly tomboyish, but isn't the stereotypical female either. Comfortable around both genders, Sycona could be said to be somewhere in the middle, with both tomboyish and girlish tendencies.

Picture Appearance:

Employment: None as of yet.

Abilities: Sycona has a natural sense of strategy and tactics. Whether it be planning out military maneuvers or simply being resourceful in everyday life, she is able to plan things out with extreme precision and detail in almost no time. She is also a fast thinker, and can make judgements and calculations very fast.

Personal Skills: She knows quite a bit about simulations and tech as her mother works for Ravencroft, and is far beyond her age for knowledge about it, knowing a couple of programming languages as well.
Sycona also has quick reflexes and good accuracy in combat simulations, having played the video game sims so much.
She also has an excellent knowledge of world geography, knowing the names and locations on the map of many different places and applying them strategically.

Personality: Sycona is known to joke around a lot, always turning ordinary matters into something humorous. But when something requires concentration or is important, she turns dead serious, wasting no time in messing around. Sycona is also very talkative, and will often blurt out random facts or opinions for seemingly no reason when she gets bored, just to strike up a conversation. She also can't resist a challenge or dare, no matter how stupid it may be. Having a very clear sense of what is right and wrong, Sycona is also very determined and will stop at almost nothing to get what she wants.

Equipment:
-Normal clothes
-A handheld video game console by Ravencroft
-A phone (or whatever else it's 2044 equivalent is )

Bio/History: Born in 2032 in Cornwall, England, Sycona's mother worked for Ravencroft and her father in the military; the navy to be precise. She was a second child with an older brother and lived a mostly normal life, although it depends on what exactly you mean by normal. She grew up with a love for video games and simulations, and she strived to learn how they worked and functioned, later coming to learn programming from her mother. Her father was away most of the time, although when he was there both she and her brother received basic training on shooting, practicing on wooden targets. Having an older brother and no other siblings also made her tomboyish, although not entirely one. Sycona did well in school as well, getting fairly good grades. Always having dreamt of eventually joining the military and becoming a soldier, her wish was granted and she was overjoyed when she passed the STAG entrance exam. Her brother had been to Eureka Academy and graduated just a short while ago and she wished to do the same. Her parents sent Sycona off, who was anxious for awaited her once she got there.

I approve. Post your app in the archive. If you need some help or pointers on jumping into the IC, tg me or a co-op and we'll try to get you set up.

[Perestroikavo]

Last post before the sim. I swear.

[Rob Halfordia]

Last post before the sim. I swear.

Heh heh. Oops.

[Perestroikavo]

Damn you, making a liar out of me.

Let me finish up with work, clock out, get home, eat, and then I'll post again.

[TriStates]

Running up a post to direct everyone. After a briefing by POE in the War Room of the Sim Center, PC's will split off into their each of their Leagues sim rooms. Co-Op's, whether or not you want to have a a little speech moment for the troops is up to you. Once everyone's post sync, we'll kick the tires and light the fires for this war

Sure, if you don't mind walking and talking All I'm going to post is a summons to the briefing room.

If the discussion requires the current setting, try to be swift in replies to each other, and let me know when your done via tg.

[Perestroikavo]

Errr. Tri. They're in the briefing room.

[The Great Korean Empire]

Alright feeling better and done with school for the moment. I'll get a post up today.

[Kalbana]

Crap. Note to self: don't retreat into basement and play Advanced Warfare for 3 hours straight...

[Rob Halfordia]

Crap. Note to self: don't retreat into basement and play Advanced Warfare for 3 hours straight...

I'm not even going to begin to describe my white hot hatred for that game.

[Perestroikavo]

My post is up Rob.

Note: Every CoD past MW: 2 is horrific. Though I find Advanced Warfare a bit of a mashup, and it's kind of fun.

[Kalbana]

I just realized something... if I am an ensign (according to the equipment post), why do I get to command a ship?

[TriStates]

Alright feeling better and done with school for the moment. I'll get a post up today.

Good to hear. You cut it pretty close but glad your finally back among the living.

We are about to begin the briefing at the Navarone Proving Center, after which we'll all march on over to the Sim Center, where PC's will break off and join their respective leagues.

Be sure to TG Temp and tell him your back. I have taken the liberty of outfitting your character for the sim, which you can check out under the Korean War Order of Battle list in the Announcment post.

I just realized something... if I am an ensign (according to the equipment post), why do I get to command a ship?

Because your no longer an Ensign. Van whispered in my ear and you've been kicked up to Commander. So congrates and enjoy the ship.

[The Templar High Council]

Alright feeling better and done with school for the moment. I'll get a post up today.

I'm sorry I accused you of abandoning us.

[Kalbana]

I'll have an IC post up soon.

I'm surprised no one else is taking the M2 Carbine

Insert rant here about how back in my day I had to earn Commnander. (It's sarcastic jokes, folks!)

I'm surprised no one else is taking the M2 Carbine

Because on a mission where Eli decides to land instead of command the Iowa-Class, Van and I have something worked out to where he grabs an AK-47, and uses that, the best assault rifle ever made.

[Icrum]

I'll have an IC post up soon.

I'm surprised no one else is taking the M2 Carbine

Well Lizzy is using British weapons because she's British.
And Rudi said "Fuck da rulez. M1 is where its at!"
Never mind I'm stuck with a grease gun. Rudi's going to steal some random dead sailors M1 now.

[Arana]

I'll have an IC post up soon.

I'm surprised no one else is taking the M2 Carbine

Was thinking about it, but kept picturing Kai with the Browning and Tommy Gun instead.

[Rob Halfordia]

The homoerotic sexual tension is strong with this one...
