The Front OOC

Hey folks, so I just created an Open Thread for the Marine characters. Anyone looking to take part in a little action, post the character you're interested in playing in this exercise.

The Tide Elite should be a formidable enemy, not one you take down super easily, but one that requires some thought and teamwork to beat. His armored sections can deflect projectiles, and his blades can handle contact with Lightsabers/Adamantium blades. Use him how you will, though I may tag in randomly to have him do something unexpected or make things interesting :P. Any questions let me know here.

Edit: Feb 17th- Okay, so I've decided to use a random name selector to match up the teams. I'll do one round today for those ready to go, and another Wed. the 21st for anyone who puts in a character between now and then. And remember that OOC Intros for New Characters have to be posted BEFORE in-game gameplay.

Team 1: Garrus Vakarian/Lucas Kellan

Team 2: Mara Jade/Arcade Gannon

Team 3: John Connor/Kate Connor

Hey everyone, just some housekeeping. Updated the Friend Button with the various new characters that have been added, so remember to head on over there and click it while signed into EACH OF YOUR CHARACTER JOURNALS so we're all friended.

So John Stewart aka Green Lantern is going to be giving your characters some training for the foreseeable future. His job is as much to figure out what they can already do as to bring them up to speed with using the basic marine weapons/space suit. Even though your characters already have their own weapons, they need to at least qualify with the basic Marine ones for the moment, as not everyone's weapons are at the same level of technology so wouldn't do much harm to the Tide or operate in the vaccum of space, etc. It doesn't necessarily mean everyone will have to USE these weapons in the upcoming mission, but it's part of their training / a way for Stewart to see how quickly your character picks up new info, operates with a team and the like. If anyone has any questions let me know here.

Hey everyone, the In Character Community can be used for both Threads AND Electronic Communication.

I just added this to the rules to be clear.

In Character Community can be used for both Threads and Electronic Communications.

Network Posts are electronic posts between characters, via personal communication devices they were all issued. It can be private between two characters, open to anyone, or restricted to certain specific characters- to restrict the post to specific characters, please indicate "Private to _______" in the post. Network Posts MUST have the type of communication they are in the title (Network Post, Text Message, Voice Message, Video/Phone Call, etc.)

Any questions or confusion let me know here.

Hey everyone, it's been a long month but we're finally ready to get started! I want to thank everyone for their patience with me as I do my best to Mod my first game solo. Any suggestions or constructive criticisms hit me up in the Drop Box.

To start, I've made a few adjustments to the type of characters you can apply for- making room for Civilian Contractors and Refugees to also have a place in the game. That way we can bring in a bigger variety of characters. Check out the updated FAQ for details. If anyone wants to change their character's status to one of these let me know.

For the moment, our characters are going to be aboard the Dreadnought Chiron, on their way to FOB Bastion. The ship's battlegroup has made stops at a number of worlds, picking up new recruits, before finally heading toward Bastion. Characters will be given a briefing by Admiral Jean-Luc Picard at 0800 hours Friday morning, where everyone can ask questions and get a better idea of what things will be like going forward.


The ship has a number of facilities, images of which are listed below. Characters will not be able to enter the bridge or other sensitive areas during their trip, but can move around and interact with the crew/each other as they please.
Quarters
Bathroom Facilities
Corridors
Kitchen
Memorial Hall
Bar
Mess Hall
Gym
Rec Room

A comprehensive description of LX-117 and FOB Bastion will be posted by the time characters arrive. Until then, everyone needs to post an introduction here in the OOC section, and then can explore the Chiron and interact with one-another.

Any questions or concerns ask me here, or hit up the Drop Box if you want to keep things private. Also, everyone remember to hit the links requesting membership to both the Game and OOC communities, and to hit the updated Friend Button.
