Ryan Pontius was born on Mars right before the war had broken out, and it had a huge effect on his life. He was born into a throughly anti-cyborg and anti-android family and so his views soon matched his parents'. When he was about twenty years old he joined the Church of the Sacred Soul, and his parents were quite proud of him. He worked for the church with distinction for 4 years before his life changed forever.

The ship he had been flying malfunctioned as he was landing and it crashed hard into the ground. Most of his body was crushed beyond repair, and so the only way to save his life was to put in mechanical body parts.

He became the thing he abhorred most. He is now in almost constant inner conflict, and he separated himself from society and moved to the frontier where he plans to start a new life.

This was a message to Lord Iggy by the way. Reply maybe?

To: Lord Iggy
I step out of the shadows behind Michaela, " Excuse me, did you just come in on that Spider. I see its got no weapons and well what with all the prirates nowadays I thought you might want some protection. I will be the best you'll find in a while I can tell you that and I'm willing to be paid as little as you want. So how 'bout it?"

On an unrelated note here's a description of Prime's appearence.

He is very tall about 6'8 or 6'10 with dark brown hair and green eyes. He has several scars on his torso and a couple on his face. Not too disfiguring but enough to know he has been in the wars. He appears to be a muscular human but his appearence is deceptive in that reguard and he is in fact several times stronger than a normal human. None of his implants are visible.

A little dizzy here: I want to join but can you use some spoilers please?
Thinking of a Military Inforcer in Triton or a pirate.

Ptsh, its hardly original, everyone starts out like that!

Ahhh, but to stay that way throughout your time on the forum? Not many venture down that path, mefriend.

Jack Steele grew up on Mars in a very anti-Earth family. His parents despised the Imperialistic attitudes of the Coalition nations. His parents suspected that the nations of Earth would try to take back what was once theirs, and signed him up for the Mars Cadet unit run by his Uncle. He proved himself as a capable leader, showing alot of initiative and inspiring those under him, but it took him a few years to hone his leadership skills.

When Jack turned 18, he signed up for the Martian Army. He rapidly rose to the rank of Sergeant and found himself in charge of a platoon in the Space Drop Corps. This meant that his platoon was partnered up with a drop ship, and would be used for rapid insertion should fighting break out. He became good friends with the two pilots of his platoons drop ship, Alexandra Cortez and Thomas Wood, and the ships engineer, Yannick Zajac. He also became very good friends with his two Corporals, John 'Dub' Taylor and Jason 'Too Hot' Heath. After almost 6 years in the army, a financial crisis on Mars resulted in funds being cut from the armed forces, causing them to quit and make their own way in the Solar System.

They pooled together their funds, and managed to buy a Jackal class ship. It was unanimously decided that Jack should be Captain of the new vessel, with all the others taking up their respective positions on the craft. The ship was already old to begin with, having been used by a previous owner for about a decade, but Yannick had managed to make it just as fine a ship as it had been when it was first made, even though it still looked worn. They named the ship Stallion, as it was the steed they would ride in to combat, and be carried around the System by.

With a ship purchased and armed, a tight knit and well trained crew ready to man it, and large numbers of pirates flooding the Outer Zone, Jack got ready to make the System a better place, one Pirate vessel at a time. Or, more likely, do whatever jobs they could to earn enough money to keep going.

@Abaddon: let's say the fighters have one mod slot, but for cargo or passenger use the capacity is only 40%

@Charles Li: if you want something special in your backstory, background, character or possessions, PM me and we'll negotiate about it.

 

[Abaddon]

Is the "required to operate" number, the amount of sailors you need? Or any type of crew?

Sailors, engineers and the ship's captain can operate the ship. Gunmen and marines cannot. Fighters can also be operated by pilots; they are a lot more effective that way. Specialists (no better name for them) can or cannot operate a ship, it varies individually.

 

[Abaddon]

Finally, how will this game "launch" ?

Where will we purchase our first cargo? how many turns does it take to move between the planets?

 

[UNpatriot]

You will know the way how the game will awake from its slumber begin once I post update number 0.

You can include precise cargo orders in the orders of you hoarders but it's good to have backups if the base never gave what you crave.

Your travel speed depends on the time and dime you have to gain speed and pay for fuel. Faster engines make master travelers but go too fast and your credits won't last.

Longer distance takes time to the square root of the distance, it takes about one turn to get around if not bound by low fuel or fighting a duel. Or even in a fight you can go almost as fast as light if you wait so long and your engines are strong.


Refer to messrs. Newton and Einstein for more information.

 

[Vertinari118]

UNpatriot I just had a thought, can our characters buy things like guns, armour, medicene etc. or is all combat going to take place in space?

 

[rhawn]

I'd like to try this one I'll post stats soon.

Gunmen and marines are armed and armoured for boarding and defending. Sailors and engineers can also fight in defense but they are very weak in offense. If your PC is a fighter then (s)he/it is a very strong fighter, otherwise compare to gunman or a defending sailor.

I will say not more: use your imagination. If you could do it in RL 2186 with the game situation you are likely to be able to do it in this NES as well.

 

[Abaddon]

Do we have a date you need submissions by? a "launch date" if you will

 

[UNpatriot]

Friday will be the deadline

 

[Abaddon]

Cool.

Do you have your status "hidden" its a little bit gay not knowing when you are online...

 

[Abaddon]

All that is left is a story, i'll fix one up when I can. bit busy til sun night.

 

[DarthNader]

Sorry, but I cant stay in this...I joined before looking at everything else I need to do. I might come back later though, it still looks fun.
