Tag. Thinking of applying as a Defensive Weapons Specialist, I just wanted to ask what equipment you had in mind for the role.

I don't think I'll be adding that, sorry. The Ultrathin Kevlar mimics the appearance of what one would expect a role to wear (Science Team dons lab coats, Engineering wears safety equipment) while also being resistant to projectiles. Your lab coat as an Xenobiologist may look like this for example:

I'll try and update the Support Team with everything (including the Defensive Weapons equipment) by tonight but I'm sorting of making it up as I go

A stationary high ROF turret is likely which can be set up by one person. Besides that maybe some high-energy plasma or laser beam weapon? Regardless your weapons will likely be stationary, hard-hitting but also HEAVY as fuck. Frontal shielding of course so hostiles can't just pop your head off at will.

This looks it will be fun, I will have an app up soon and I will go either Engineering or Support.

Updating Support Team equipment now. Hoping to have Science and Engineering done today too: I'll edit this post when I'm done each team.

Yeah you have an option between a fire support drone and a full combat drone. The scouting drone is mandatory.

Biography:
Rysik born on Mars in Eden City ( is there one? ) his early life was troubled when the rebellion started, some rebels left him and his only friend with small oxygen supply due to saying some pro-Earth things, he survived but his friend did not even though Cali shielded him from a sandstorm his oxygen supply ran out. After the incident, he was transferred to Earth as a witness and put involuntarily under rigorous training in order for his body to adapt. It worked but with so many like him his only option was the military and he was first put into patrolling the skies of Venus from sky pirates, because of the exceptional work he was put into Extrasolar Detachment Delta.
Reason for Induction: His work with Extrasolar Detachment was the planet Kerns on which extensive deserts were a most prominent piece of landscape, they were hunting for a Terseroser (a kinda super big lizard with strange metabolism ) that was troubling Oasis settlements. The operation took 2 years of extensive drone surveillance, 34% of personnel were lost in unsuccessful attacks on the monster, Cali's time for glory was when he jumped into the animal mouth and threw a grenade into it intestines, the tongue of the beast shielded him. After the tour, he was granted the rank of Corporal and trained in Drone Operations and later promoted into Extrasolar Detachment Echo to investigate what's happening on Veios.

Character Name: Jaco Van Zyl
Age: 28
Sex: Male
Nationality: South African (Io-born)
Team: Engineering
Squad: N/A
Role and Rank: Adaptineer, Corporal
Unique Armaments: N/A

Appearance: Jaco
Personality: Jaco can be described as an introvert that values the time when he is alone. He is capable of being sociable thought at times not understand social cues. To those, he calls his friends he is very to loyal them. A kind person at his heart and can find the good in any situation and is used to be working under pressure.

Biography: Jaco was born on the volcanic moon of Io to a second generation Ionian family. The diversity of the original settlers and the volcanic nature of the moon forged an enduring, melting pot culture which every Ionian knows at least two languages and Jaco is no exemption to the rule. His family are owners of a small engineering company based out of his hometown of New Pretoria called Prometheus Technologies. Under his family's tutelage and money, Jace was able to get a good education despite not being able to attend an Earth University. Turning into a skilled engineer through his company suffered as other companies aggressively pushing out Prometheus Technologies out of the market. With limited resources that the company could afford, Jaco was able to adapt and think of creative methods for making devices that helped the company. When he heard rewards of ESD-Echo mission, he applied to ESD-Echo to join and hopefully use the money to save his family's company.

Reason for Induction: Jaco was selected for the ESD-Echo for his not only for his adaptable nature and resourcefulness. He has experience with aquatic environments, from his time on Europa. Jaco was assigned to work and develop aquatic equipment for a deep-sea research facility. He personally designed several devices that proved to be a great value to the researchers.

Personal Effects (optional): Lucky coin(Ionian half-dollar), a photo of his family, a personal laptop containing his personal engineering projects and a portable music player.

Yes! I've been quite busy so I'll stop setting deadlines but I am still going to finish this

This seems quite interesting. I am unfortunately rather busy at the moment, but I may be able to scrape put some time to participate.
