Stargate: Pythagoras [OOC/Sci-Fi/Sign-Up/Open]

Postby New Roman Empire » Sun Apr 07, 2019 5:54 am

ImageStargate: Pythagoras
OOC|Discord|IC


Since the first man walked the Earth, he has been fascinated by the stars and what they hold. Mankind has looked to the stars for centuries hoping to unlock their secrets. Many studied the stars which lead to many discoveries including space travel. In 1928 Professor Paul Langford while digging near Giza uncovered a strange ringed device. He immediately went to studying the device, though after Hitler came to power the Nazis sought out the device. The Stargate was moved to the United States in 1939 to keep it out of Nazi hands. Years later, the Giza Project finally lucked out. The project headed by Catherine Langford the daughter of Paul Langford and Dr. Jackson finally unlocked how the Stargate worked and quickly hurried to establish a team to go through the device. This was not without risks SG-1 was faced with many threats that could wipe out humanity should they ever go to earth. Later on the home of the Ancients, the race that created the Stargates was found Atlantis. An expedition was put together and sent to the Pegasus galaxy.

Recently a new address to the Pythagoras galaxy was discovered. A new expedition has been formed much like that of Atlantis to go to this new galaxy. The information about the planet was very limited, the database said the planet could eventually hold life but was uninhabited by any intelligent life. Stargate Command was very hesitant at first once this new address was uncovered. They are uncertain of what lies on the other side, if its an ancient outpost or if its a stargate in space or in a field. So a probe will be sent ahead of the expedition to test the environment on the other side. The planet in question is being labeled SXLG26 or being called Frostfall. The main goal for this expedition is to explore the new galaxy.

OP's Message

Hey, guys well I thought I would try a stargate RP! So Welcome to the expedition to a new galaxy with a whole new set of dangers. You can be a scientist, military personnel, linguists and many more. The Rp will be run in story Arcs rather than this being a complete sandbox, though there will be times where you will be able to do and interact with people as you please. The main plot itself is very open as its to explore this new galaxy, so I hope this will be a long series of Arcs to tell the story. Sorry for the shortness of this OP, but it is late. So I'm going to keep this nice and short, feel free to make any kind of character you want, we may even allow natives of the galaxy later on if you so wish but that will come at a later date.

Also this outpost we will arrive in at the start of the RP is the Only Ancient Outpost in the new galaxy. So needless to say having the ancient gene won't be as important.



Rules

1.No One liners
2. Keep things somewhat realistic
3. You have thin plot armor
4. Have fun!

Name: Abdul Baatin Hussein
Age: 48
Nationality: Sudanese
Appearance:
Image

Military: N
Position Chief medical official
Has Ancient Gene: No
Important Items: Host of medical gear, prayer rug, pictures of friends and family, Quran
Bio: Abdul was born in 1970, in the Sudanese capital of al-Khartûm. His parents were affluent member of the political upper class, come to power during the 1969 coup d’état. They helped with the mechanisation of the Sudanese agricultural sector, earning vast swaths of land along the way. Abdul gained a top-notch education, even receiving entry to the prestigious Omdurman Al-ahlia University when he got older. In 1985 the coup government was ousted, but the land owners of the previous government basically stayed in power if they switched allegiance to the new government. The parents of Abdul did this, and his educational prospects were not diminished. However, the sudden switch of his parents left him disillusioned. The sudden switch of his country from a Marxist to a Islamist state gave him exactly the solace he needed: Islam. During his medical studies in Khartoum he dove into the religion, keeping strictly to the tenants of Islam. His family had been religious before, but he took it to a new level. He also became an ardent ideological follower of the Islamist government, despite the warnings of his more pragmatic parents. When the civil war broke out, Abdul signed up for the student’s militia as a medic.

The war was what turned his views around. His field hospital was swamped with soldiers of both sides, with every day bringing more and more wounded. There was little he could do. There was so much pain, so much suffering, that there was little time to give each patient. In the beginning, he became overworked, until he just decided only to operate on his fellow militia members. Even then, every week an old friend of his would pass through his tent, most likely not to survive. Eventually, Abdul deserted, fleeing back to Khartoum. He finished his medical studies there, and decided to join the UN as a medical official. He was assigned to many humanitarian missions, especially in countries with a majority Arab-speaking population, as Abdul’s talents were of great use there. Via the UN, he eventually volunteered for some nondescript mission of a very dangerous nature. Ever since the war, he felt like he had a debt to pay to God, and there was no better way to do that than to go on dangerous missions as a medical official.

This another shot at your earlier attempt?

Either way, heres my character (again).

Character Application
Name: Patrick Wade
Age: 38
Nationality: British
Apperance:
Image

Military: Yes - RAF Regiment
Rank: Warrant Officer
Branch: Royal Air Force
Position Recon/Scout team
Has Ancient Gene: No
Important Items: British DPM uniform, L1A1 SLR
Bio: Patrick was born in 1982 to a family that had a long history of serving in the British military, the majority having served in the Army. By the time he was finishing his final years of secondary school he was set to join the Army like his father and elder brother, but the visit of a RAF recruitment team to his school changed his mind. The RAF Regiment sounded interesting and different from the Army, it also seemed more of a challenge and so he put his name down for it. After turning 16 years old and finished his GCSE exams, Patrick reported to his local Armed Forces Careers Office and within three months he was at RAF Honington starting recruit training. Patrick then became parachute qualified when he was posted to No.2 Squadron, RAF Regiment, which was based at RAF Honington. Patrick would go on to serve in Kuwait, Kosovo, Sierra Leone and several tours of both Iraq and Afghanistan. Along the way he would become a Forward Air Controller and part of the RAF Regiment contingent of the UK's Special Forces Support Group.

When the Pythagoras Expedition was first being formed, Britain was looking to increase its involvement in future Stargate projects and so a call for volunteers was put out. Patrick was among those from the British Armed Forces who volunteered and was ultimately selected as part of the British Detachment of the Expedition. Due to his training and experience, Patrick was placed in one of the expedition's recon ('recce' in British military) team that would function as dedicated scouts. Though technically obsolete, Patrick managed to acquire a L1A1 SLR battle rifle as his personal weapon instead of the standard British SA80 assault rifle.

Apperance:

Military: N
Rank: Civilian
Branch: Research & Development
Position: Scientist
Has Ancient Gene: No
Important Items: A mechanical pencil and a sketchbook filled with drawings of custom aliens.
Bio: Born in 1990, Ivan Lopac was the victim of a failed marriage between his two parents, where his mother succeded in taking custody of him. He was born with ADHD, making his early childhood difficult for his mother. However, through sheer force of will, he managed to control his hyperactive behaviour and channel it into creative pursuits, like drawing comics with outlandish anthropomorphic animals fighting Ivan himself, or rather a different version of him, who built great robots to fight the animals. As he grew up, his interests shifted wildly, going from dragons to dinosaurs to the Alien franchise, and even a bit of Warhammer 40,000. FInally, he settled for science fiction in general, and became infatuated with the idea of alien life. As his knowledge increased, he began inventing new alien civilisations with relatively detailed backstories, some with none at all, and some with interesting trivia added in the description. Eventually, he made it to college, where he picked up physics biology and , where he excelled at due to him being more inclined to abstract concepts.

Everything changed on the 22 of December, 2018, when he witnessed something he never could have imagined. While working late into the night on campus, strange figures clad in cobra-like masks attacked him while he was working on an equation. He fled into the radiation chamber, the latest one bought by his college, where he closed himself while the attackers kept trying to open the doors. Suddenly, gunshots with a fuzzy undertone to them were heard, and the attackers fell. The doors opened to reveal men in military clothing who spoke in English. They revealed themselves to be part of a secret branch of the United States Armed Forces dedicated to protecting Earth from extraterrestrial threats. They called themselves Stargate Command. They were oriinally going to let him go after a quick and harmless mind-wipe, but the team's medic, who also majored in mathematics, realized that Ivan wasa a genius who could benefit the Stargate Program. Ivan, interested in the possibility of making contact with actual extraterrestrials, accepted the invitation. Making all the neccessary excuses, arrangements and preparations, he moved to a house across the road from Broadmoor Glen Park, Colorado Springs, USA. He is heading straight into a new part of his life that he has no idea about, which to Ivan is equal parts exciting and terrifying. Time to see what this Pythagoras galaxy has to offer.

Name: Sadie Pearce
Age: 25
Nationality: Australian
Apperance:
Image

Military:Y
Rank:Sergeant (OR-6)
Branch: Australian Army
Position Security Team
Has Ancient Gene: N
Important Items: DPCU Pattern Uniform, Slouch hat, baton, handcuffs, Bible, F88 Austyer Service Rifle, Deck of cards
Bio: Sadie Pearce was born into a long line of Military Tradition, dating back to the 1700s and her fanily’s service in the Royal Army against France and Spain. By the mid 1870s, the Pearce family had relocated to the Crown Colony of Australia, in the city of Brisbane, where Sadie would eventually be born. Being the only child of an only child, Sadie felt that it was her duty to continue the family’s line of profession, and took that task up readily. Sadie, being fairly intelligent, breezed her way through her schooling years without trouble, and, despite her mother’s pleas ( Who was a doctor), skipped University, instead enlisting directly into the military. In the military, Sadie joined the Royal Australian Corps of Military Police, where she received training in crowd control and protection of the law as well as traditional combat training.

After 2 years of service at Hampstead and Simpson Barracks, Sadie deployed with a small detachment of the Australian Army and Air Force to Northern Iraq. Over the next six months Sadie and a group of other RACMPs would provide security to the joint Australian, New Zealand, and US Operating Base, help facilitate the handout of Humanitarian Aid to locals, and deal with any “Problems” either inside the base or in the locality outside of the base. Sadie finished her deployment in December of 2014, and since then has been shifting from Base to Base in Australia, even serving a brief stint at RAF Waddington, in the UK. Bored by her current service, Sadie, after hearing about the Pythagoras Expedition from a friend of hers working in the Australian Foreign Ministry, jumped at the opportunity to partake in the “dangerous and secretive” operation and immediately applied to the Program. After a brief admissions process, due to very few Australians volunteering for the enterprise, Sadie passed Australian government checks before finally being accepted by the Expedition, mostly due to her dedication to her work and spotless work record after 7 years in the Army.

Everything looks good except for one part. So the medic couldn't invite you, they could recommend you to come aboard Stargate Command would have to. But other than that everything looks good.

Suddenly, gunshots with a fuzzy undertone to them were heard, and the attackers fell. The doors opened to reveal men in military clothing who spoke in English. They revealed themselves to be part of a secret branch of the United States Armed Forces dedicated to protecting Earth from extraterrestrial threats. They called themselves Stargate Command. They were oriinally going to let him go after a quick and harmless mind-wipe, but the team's medic, who also majored in mathematics, realized that Ivan wasa a genius who could benefit the Stargate Program. Ivan, interested in the possibility of making contact with actual extraterrestrials, accepted the invitation. Making all the neccessary excuses, arrangements and preparations, he moved to a house across the road from Broadmoor Glen Park, Colorado Springs, USA. He is heading straight into a new part of his life that he has no idea about, which to Ivan is equal parts exciting and terrifying. Time to see what this Pythagoras galaxy has to offer.

Everything looks good except for one part. So the medic couldn't invite you, they could recommend you to come aboard Stargate Command would have to. But other than that everything looks good.

That's ok

Name: Anselmo Zavala
Age: 26
Nationality: Chilean
Apperance: Anselmo
Military: Y
Rank: Sergeant
Branch: Chilean Army
Position Field Team
Has Ancient Gene: N
Important Items: M4 carbine, a Chilean coin, small telescope, a journal containing his sketches of the stars, mechanical pencil.

Bio: Anselmo was born in Antofagasta, Chile to a miner and a primary school teacher and is the oldest of four. He had a good childhood and his family is close despite his parent's giving Anselmo more attention at times. Because earlier on, his parents, mainly his mother discovered that he was smarter than most and wanted him to achieve his full potential. Which he did despite his family's almost being poor and things were looking good, till his last year of secondary school. When he and his family got in a horrible car accident and while no one died, His younger brother and sister got the worse of it with severe injuries. The medical expenses were high and the family would not have been able to pay without going into debt and Anselmo decided rather than let that happen. He wanted to use the money that was for his university fund to help pay for the expenses. Which his parents agreed reluctantly and after much conniving by Anselmo. The expenses were paid off and with little options left for him, he chose to enlist after completing secondary school.

Though he joined up as a backup plan and he planned on going to university eventually, he took it seriously and gave it his all. His intelligence, calm demeanor and commitment made him a good solider and have excellent accuracy with assault rifles. After two years his skills caught the eyes of the Special Operations Brigade who offered him a choice of joining them which he accepted since he grew to like life in the military and wanted to give more before he would eventually leave. Two weeks before he was set to left the military, Anselmo received an offer to join Stargate Command and be apart of the Pythagoras expedition. He accepted and was thrilled for the opportunity to go to another world.

Age: 25
Nationality: Australian
Apperance:
Military:Y
Rank:Sergeant (OR-6)
Branch: Australian Army
Position Security Team
Has Ancient Gene: N
Important Items: DPCU Pattern Uniform, Slouch hat, baton, handcuffs, Bible, F88 Austyer Service Rifle, Deck of cards
Bio: Sadie Pearce was born into a long line of Military Tradition, dating back to the 1700s and her fanily’s service in the Royal Army against France and Spain. By the mid 1870s, the Pearce family had relocated to the Crown Colony of Australia, in the city of Brisbane, where Sadie would eventually be born. Being the only child of an only child, Sadie felt that it was her duty to continue the family’s line of profession, and took that task up readily. Sadie, being fairly intelligent, breezed her way through her schooling years without trouble, and, despite her mother’s pleas ( Who was a doctor), skipped University, instead enlisting directly into the military. In the military, Sadie joined the Royal Australian Corps of Military Police, where she received training in crowd control and protection of the law as well as traditional combat training.

After 2 years of service at Hampstead and Simpson Barracks, Sadie deployed with a small detachment of the Australian Army and Air Force to Northern Iraq. Over the next six months Sadie and a group of other RACMPs would provide security to the joint Australian, New Zealand, and US Operating Base, help facilitate the handout of Humanitarian Aid to locals, and deal with any “Problems” either inside the base or in the locality outside of the base. Sadie finished her deployment in December of 2014, and since then has been shifting from Base to Base in Australia, even serving a brief stint at RAF Waddington, in the UK. Bored by her current service, Sadie, after hearing about the Pythagoras Expedition from a friend of hers working in the Australian Foreign Ministry, jumped at the opportunity to partake in the “dangerous and secretive” operation and immediately applied to the Program. After a brief admissions process, due to very few Australians volunteering for the enterprise, Sadie passed Australian government checks before finally being accepted by the Expedition, mostly due to her dedication to her work and spotless work record after 7 years in the Army.
