Either Needed ShadowFall (Interest check & Outline)

Name: Andromeda "Andy" Hall
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Appearance: Short layered dark hair, with a rounded face. Slight frame, Andy stand about 5' 6" and has hazel eyes. She's unremarkable and purposefully so. Wears male jeans and plain long sleeve shirts.
Role: Research Specialist/Communications
Crystal weapon (Type and appearance): Double sided polearm
Mirkwood Double-Bladed Polearm - UC3043 by Medieval Collectibles
Normal weapon(s): Walther P38
Any other gear: Zenith Long Distance Radio, 3 notebooks, Morse code keyer, writing utensils, small serrated knife, lighter, ammo
Any other Skills: Morse code, relatively stealthy, basic survival skills
Backstory: Joined the Pathfinder groups almost by accident. She was looking for work, being trapped in the walled town as the wall came up and the creatures descended. Andy had originally been visiting during a break. She was thisssss close to finishing up her schooling but then the world was overrun by monsters. Andy has no idea what happened to her hometown, but it's likely been destroyed as there hasn't been contact with any other counties for years. The advertisement didn't explicitly say she would be joining the military, just that she could learn more about the current threat if she went to this meeting.

Once she arrived it was evident that the flyer was just a draft poster, but by then it was too late for her to back out. She was surprisingly good at the communications department though, and was soon put into the less combat oriented fieldwork track. Her brain is her main weapon and she prefers to fight long distance to minimize the chance of getting hurt. Not that she's scared of pain; she just doesn't want to become a burden to the team. Mild phobia of werewolves but nothing that detracts too much. She just prefers to be very long distance with those.

Accepted, welcome to the team!

Just so everyone's aware, I'll be looking at putting up the actual RP thread tomorrow with an intro to the setting, this will give everyone a chance to meet up but also give time for people that haven't yet put in an application to do so and join in before we properly "Set off" as it were.
 
Does anyone want to pre establish a relationship with my character to make things more interesting than 'all our characters met for the very first time as strangers in the Pathfinders group'?
 
Considering my character is probably the eldest out of everyone here by almost 16 years, I doubt classmates, he'd still see your character as a rookie, perhaps an instructor or mentor to your character.

Formal or informal mentor? What would he have taught her? Maybe she joined because of him?
 
Well you have two rather young characters - depending on how long they have been as a path finder and what formal education they had prior it depends and their level of experience / field experience. For him, he'd be a reluctant mentor / instructor mainly due to the fact that he still sees them as too young to be in this fight. Training could be teaching the basics and then to intermediates of hand to hand and self defence. Understanding why you should modify your own gear to suit the style of fighting.

Stealth training, knowing thy enemy and ways to counter being detected.

What would you as an RPer be looking for out of this relationship or connection? Buckets not a Pathfinder -
 
(Too young?! *sob sob*)

Select
>Syd
Select
>Stealth and hand to hand combat training

What buckets? I want a link to another character so everything isn't completely out of context. Someone to be a character foil for Syd. Light planning optional, lmk if you want me to do any edits and I'll do the same. :)
 
Lets bounce ideas over Pm, :D
 
Ok ladies and gents, the actual RP thread is now up in Unfinished Tales, jump in whenever you're ready! People that haven't already are still free to post an application and join whenever they want. This thread will also be used for an OOC chat as well but if people want to ask anything that they want to be a secret from everyone else in the story then feel free to PM me!
 
Name: Christian "Chris" Einiger

Age: 21

Gender: Male

Appearance: Christian is your stereotypical pretty boy. Blonde hair, green eyes, a face full of freckles and a friendly smile that can win over just about anyone. He's a slim man, standing at 5'8, and weighing about 150 lbs. He has little to no muscle build for his size and weight.

Role:Mechanic/Tinker

Crystal weapon: A curved dagger with strange markings etched into the crystal's metal.

Normal weapon(s): Usually Wields an MP40 with a colt pistol as his sidearm.

Any other gear: A kit full of weapon parts and tools that he has in a tool satchel strapped around his chest usually dangling on the side of his waist, along with that satchel he'll carry around a picture of his foster mother slipped into his helmet that he always takes into combat.

Any other Skills: Good at setting traps and making traps from scrap, a good negotiator (believes that any situations can be calmed down with words)

Backstory: Christian never met his parents, in fact, they never wanted to meet him. It's not like they passed away in some horrible accident, no, he was abandoned as a baby left in a dumpster to die. Every time he hears that story though he doesn't react with anger or hate, he couldn't blame them. His upbringing in the orphanage was a tough one, but it was the best upbringing he could ever ask for. He was surrounded by nice and caring people, and all the other foster kids were friendly and if not that never truly made trouble. What made it tough was slowly watching his friends get new homes while he somehow always got left behind and he was never able to tell what exactly it was that he was doing wrong. That's until he met her, Margaret. His foster mother. She adopted him at the age of ten and they lived together happily until everything happened.

He was lucky to survive, but he hasn't seen Margaret since the attack. He still prays she's out there somewhere, or at least in some other part of Galia. But since the attack, when he was sixteen, he wanted to join the pathfinders to regain earth and give humans a fighting chance again. Now, he finally got that chance.
 
So everyone's aware, I've updated the original post with some more information which might be useful. Especially the part about Magic and monster characters. Please give it a quick read. I may end up doing more of this in the future but I will always let you know. I won't be doing anything to change the story as a whole, simply lore and world building.
 
Cool! Since I'm the communications character, if you have anything you want to point the story to, @Seras just PM and I can work it in through radio chat. @Lady Wolfe perhaps since our characters are the same (or basically the same) age we would probably have been classmates through at least basic training, splitting off after specializations were chosen.
 
I don't think rivals; Andy wasn't really drafted by choice so she wasn't looking to beat anyone. Most likely just superficial knowledge of each other since they were all placed in different specializations.
 
Name: Jason Von Braun
Age: 21
Gender: Male
Appearance: If Jason is standing up straight he is 6-2, but as he generally slouches a tad he is overlooked by some. He is tall and long, but with plenty of muscle to move his slender frame as quickly as he needs.

His hair is medium length and brown, curly yet not unkept. His eyes are blue, his face angular and unshaven, yet not quite a beard. He definitely has a boyish charm about the way he smiles.

Role (Combat Engineer): Jason is very creative. He excels at stretching crystals between different weapons. Be them explosives, firearms, or even using crystal weapons as bayonettes. In addition he is an expert mechanic and strategist, specializing in ambushes.

Crystals: Jason has three crystals to his name, which he earned and bought himself prior to joining the pathfinders. Two are melee weapons, and the rest he has converted into ammo or explosives.
Crystal weapon: Jason has two crystals to his name. One he was allowed to turn into ammo and use for experimentation and tinkering.

The other is attached to one of his Semi automatic Colt 1911's as a bayonet. The one he keeps at his hip on his belt. It is little more than a small stake, but perfect for driving into hearts, eh?

Normal weapon(s):

- Two twin Colt 1911's, with two bandaleers of ammo (approximately 200 crystal rounds, and a couple boxes of regular in his small triangular rucksack.)

- Three regular orb-shaped frag grenades, five custom frag grenades with crystal beads inside (each accounting for about 20 rounds.) and three small flashbangs.

Four custom wire-triggered explosives equipped with hair triggers, each accounting for about 50 crystal rounds mixed in with regular buckshot of about four 12 gauge shells worth each.

Any other gear: a canteen of water usually, three full meals of rations, matches, a compass, a set of basic tools, and a sketchbook generally accompany him in the field.
Any other Skills: Engineering, mechanics, drawing, navigating, mapmaking, an impressive memory, multitasking.

Jason is also a gifted grappler, heavily trained in Jiu jitsu amongst general combat training. He preferes controlling and dominating his opponent on the ground through chokes and joint manipulations, and excels in one on one combat.

Backstory: Forgive me, but its more fun to reveal in game. Ill write one if you prefer however.

Good idea, right now it'll just be the intro bits to get everyone together and then I'll drag everyone into another room or something to explain what we'll be doing before setting off.

I think you're quite heavy on crystals, maybe limit some of the explosives to normal ones, or if you want to keep that just have one melee weapon, they're supposed to be in high demand and controlled by the military. The only other way to get them is killing very powerful monsters after all.

I'm happy if you want to explain your backstory in game, it can be more fun like that! The rest sounds great though, Accepted, welcome to the team!
