Task Force Theseus (OOC/Sign-Up)

[Imperialisium]

My app is as done as it's going to get. I took a few liberties so if anything does fly just let me know. I can also knock out a brief profile and pictures for the rest of Ghost Flight if that's ok with you OP.

I'll be going through all the apps with a fine tooth comb shortly. I'm pretty lax with people adding their own tidbits so long as it's not way over the top or cartoony. So odds are when I read it in detail it'll be fine. If not you'll know soon enough. In terms of making more apps for ghost flight. That's fine by me if it's something you want to do.

Prior Criminal Record: NIL
Prior Service: NIL
Character Description: https://tinyurl.com/y9hya9q7
Family:
-Father: Ern Leo, Colonel of Investigation Service, deceased as of 2320
-Mother: Spiny Ann, Civil servant
Biography:

Born as the single daughter of a colonel in the investigation service, from a young age she was raised in relative comfort while being trained for any career path she may take, learning simple types of martial arts and self defense techniques when she was young. When her father died, leaving behind her and her mother, she still had not known of what she was going to do in the future and for a moment temporarily gave her training a break to go off to rest for a while to think about her thoughts and recollect on them. For a few weeks, she was indecisive. But after a while, she had a solid resolve that she would join the military and get into a position that her father would be proud of.

After she returned back to her training, she began to train with more determination, despite being clearly inept in hand to hand combat, she slowly began to switch out to other forms of studies which would help her in becoming a member of the military. When she was of age, she officially entered a specialized military school, specifically entering into a branch where she would follow in her father's foot steps, but was rejected and taken in instead by a branch specializing in ranged weapons. When she began to show talent in shooting and registered for a course on spying, the military took notice and after reviewing her background decided to appoint her to the service before she was of age.

After she finally graduated with honors, she was immediately transferred to the service and quickly put into service to get more on field experience since she had learnt almost everything they needed to teach her when she took up a spy course. Once she entered service, she immediately started work. Spying on any possible points of rebellion, ensuring that any rebellion leaders and crime lords were taken out to her now slowly but surely began to become a normal part of her routine. With her outstanding performance, she was quickly promoted to a senior agent. At that time, a mass operation involving a mass purge of crime and rebellion was being initiated and Archon was chosen as one of the few members to take part in it. Of course, following that operation and a few more assassinations of essential people involved in crime and rebellion, she was promoted to Special Agent. For her outstanding service, she was initially offered a cybernetic enhancement to switch her left arm out for a gun (As seen in pic) but she instead opted to switch the arm out for a gun of a similar design. However, the assassinations also caused her to go slightly insane, giving her a sense of blood lust, but she still has sanity to not shoot on her own.

At the same time, she was sent over to the Valkyrie to ensure that no suspicious activity would occur.

Pilot who can also operate the nose weapons

Co-Pilot that runs navigation, sensor, and communication suite

Airman who operates the rear gun, takes care of any inventory if its carrying something, and also typically if needed can man the ships SDAR console (SDAR being the future fancy smancy equivalent to radar). This also can extend to electronic countermeasure rolls as well.

Character Description: 6'1/185cm, 165 lbs/75 kg
Family:
John Doe Sr., Father [ALIVE] (55)
Jane Doe née Roe, Mother [ALIVE] (53)
James Doe, Brother [ALIVE] (26)
Jennifer Doe, Sister [ALIVE[ (24)
Biography: Born John Doe Junior to John Doe Senior and Jane Doe on February 8th, 2310 in Lunaris General Hospital, his name stems from a kind of family tradition of naming the first born son John, a kind of centuries old joke. As a child he had a special place in his heart for physical activity like martial arts and rock climbing, like his father, and his father before him he came from a family of fighters. While growing up his father maintained a ghost of a presence as he served in the Marines. He did his best to stay in contact with his family but these efforts were generally limited to late night video messages and texts. Heavy combat from the 6 year war often took him away for weeks at a time.

His teachers remarked that for his age he was remarkably mature and stoic. Not much seemed to really affect him as he kept to himself. His missing father prompted him to take up responsibilities to help his mother around the house and taking care of his younger siblings. As a child he had little motivation, containing the ability to do incredibly well he simply did not do so. This was noted by his teachers as he progressed through high school. Upon graduation he pondered where he’d go from education.

While his family did modestly well with both parents working full time he’d rather not burden his family with the financial costs of tertiary education. Signing on with the Marine Corps. He’d attend college for four years and stay in the military for five in order to ‘pay’ for it. After his service he planned to open his own business. While his parents weren’t ecstatic about their oldest son’s enlistment it was his choice in the end. While studying in college he’d received news that his younger brother would be enlisting, citing him as the inspiration.

Upon enlistment John was quick to adapt to the Corps’ daily routine. He easily met the demanding physical requirements put out and worked well in a team. While appearing unfazed, bored even during training he enjoyed the challenge and energy of the training simulations and fighting. Having researched what to expect from BCT and how to cope with it he was quick to use the advice given to him by his seniors. While not showing it, he found great humour in the struggle of those around it. While not an outstanding leader, he was well versed in CQB/CQC and shattered the academy’s marksmanship record. Lighting fast reflexes combined with nerves of steel and steady hands gave him remarkable marksman abilities.

Despite undergoing marksmen training John found himself in the front of the formation first through the door with an assault rifle as the squad point man. Often there would be nothing left to clean after he was done sweeping the room. His superb ability and professionalism earned him a promotion to E-2 in his first year of service, and after another two years of high octane counter-piracy and boarding action he was promoted to his current rank of E-3. Ironically the fourth man in the squad was always through the door first. Even when not number four, he was referred to as “Four”.

Even with a new assignment on a new ship with a new unit he is still referred to as simply Four. Not much has changed for him since his promotion except for his decision to stay with the Corps just a few years longer than originally planned.

Name: Joseph Sampson (JS-SM-67)
Date of birth: 5/9/2314 (24)
Homeworld: Lazarus.
Place of birth: Capulet corparations bio facility F-8
Prior criminal records: One murder. Assault on 2 people.
Prior service: N/A (was part of the anti-Marxist league before joining the Terran navy though).
Character description: https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/ca ... 0616201226
Has aspergers. 160 lbs.
Family: N/A (although he does say that the closest thing he had to a mother was a women at the facility he was "born" in who was know as Catherine Jade [DECEASED])
Biography: Joseph Sampson is an artificial human who was created in the lower levels of a Capulet corparation bio facility. The pod he was created in had a faulty genetic flux modulator. This caused him to be "born" with aspergers (a high functioning type of autism). This caused him to have an above average IQ but his actions to be done in a certain series. He also suffered from migranes and sensory overload. He also had trouble with concentration due to a realitivly short attention span. Apart from that, however, he spent a happy life on the planet. This was until the planet was attacked by a Martian terrorist organisation. They raided the facility and killed most of the people who worked there. They left when they found that the core of the facility was damaged beyond repair which meant they couldn't use the pods to create more members. Joseph was the only one to survive. With all his friends and "family" dead he was traumatised but also enraged. He left for the planets harbour so he could get revenge. He left for new London due to the fact that he had heard about a group called the anti Marxist league and that they were working there.
When he got there he immediately tracked down and joined the group. They eventully tracked down the Martian group (a terrorist organisation known as the red moon) and attacked their ship. The entire crew was killed one by one until they reached the leader (who's name has not been documented yet). Up until this Joseph had only injuried two members but at that point he could no longer contain his rage. He said that he shot the man before stamping on his head until his head broke. When they left it was reveled that they were going to a planet to raid it. The planet was a colony planet with a prodominantly Jewish population. Realising that the group were bassicly neo-nazis and that they were just as bad as the the now disbanded red moon, he used an escape pod to get some help. Before long the ship exploded, presumbly killing the entire crew. He landed on an outpost controlled by the Terran military. He was found and interrogated, leading him reveal all the information just read. He was nearly arrested but was let off due to the fact that the red sun had attempted to raid the outpost several times. Joseph was not rewarded though. However, his interest for the navy was peaked. He joined an academy one month later. He graduated as a communacations officer and later found his way onto the Valkyrie.

I rewrote my entry.

Two questions for OP. So I'm guessing Ironsides fold their wings up like an E-2? Just a bit of fluff for my next post.

Also since it seems like this is pretty BSG inspired, what ideas did you have for spacecraft launch? Would there be tubes for bigger craft like Ironsides or would they take off from the recieving deck?

They wouldn't fold, but it is VTOL capable for careful maneuvering into and out of combat zones. So its quite nimble for a craft of its size.

The only craft that would be catapult launched would be the Gryphons, Phoenix, and Ravens. The rest would launched from the receiving bay.

Name: Joseph Sampson
Date of Birth: X/X/2302
Homeworld: Unknown.
Place of Birth: Unknown.
Prior Criminal Record: One murder.
Prior Service: N/A
Character Description: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/cal ... 0119211356
Family: UNKNOWN.
Biography: It is unknown how Josephs life was like before 2317. It is know were his life went after 2317. The only thing that can be gathered before his memory loss is his birth year (because of his age) and his name (which he still remembers).

When he was roughly 15 years old his colony world was attacked and he (along with some other inhabitants of the planet) were taken prisoner by the anti-Marxist front*, a far-right radical group trying desperately to get an upper hand in the war. They had their memories erased (except their prior education, with the exclusion of anti-far right politics/history) and re-educated with limited combat knowledge. They were then sent to Pacific to fight for the front against both the Terran and Martian forces. When they [the people] were being equipped they ran out of a equipment when they reached Joseph, so he was put to work as a communications officer.

Joseph worked in this job until 2319 (but before the treaty was signed), when the ship he was working on was boarded. The entire crew except for him were slaughtered. He managed to hid until they left the ship. He then activated the ship self destruct sequence to maybe kill a few Martian soldiers in the process** and then left in a shuttle.

He eventfully landed on new London where he became a DJ at a night club. When it was eventually closed down he left to find another job. He ended up re-joining the military, but on the side of the Terrans. He qualified as a communications officer and now he works on-board the Valkyrie.

Don't worry about his previous assignment, he mostly left the past behind...except for the Martians...

So what exactly are our guns like, and do our helmets come with HUDs?

The MK.VIII assault suits, mechs, aerospace craft, and DAMOCLES suits all have HUDs.

Weapons are basically ballistic weapons akin to 21st century but just overall superior; or, low tier gauss and Railguns in respect that they're basically support weapons.
