Are we posting our profiles here or on another thread?​

On the thread I make, not here, I'm just running tests here because I haven't made the thread yet and I am also rubbish at bbcode.

 

[SilverFlight]

OK, for those of you who want to get started on profiles, I'll put the rules and outline code here now. Feel free to play with the code but please don't change the layout. Please also read the rules and outline below before making a CS. If you have any questions just post them here in this thread, until I set the actual one up.

Overview

2819. After a 600 year voyage the Milky Way voyagers have arrived in the Andromeda galaxy, only, things are not quite as ‘golden’ as they were promised. The worlds are uninhabitable, but with the help of the human pathfinder and the technology of an ancient race simply termed ‘The Remnant’, things are slowly being turned around. The first colony outpost has been established successfully on Eos, yet the arks remain lost. APEX has just been started and there will no doubt be a few bumps in the road on the way to making it an elite task force. As the pathfinder continues, new worlds will become available and missions will be run in an increasing number of hostile environments. New species must learn to work together; old ones must learn to heal past wounds. Survival here is only possible with cooperativity.

The APEX strike teams are a special branch of the Nexus militia, combined with voluntary fighters from the Angaran resistance and the Krogan colony. As such, recruits will be mostly civilians with minimal training beyond what is given by the militia itself. That being said, there can certainly be a wide variety of combat skills recruited, from biotics to tech users, soldiers to backstreet brawlers. You can use the multiplayer class guides from either ME:A or ME3 to help you choose, though keep in mind the recruits are quite raw and won’t have the years of training required for some of the more advanced classes.

Rules

- Respect all of RpN’s rules and guidelines

- Respect the other players

- Please be consistent, minimum of 1 post per week, likely it will be more. If you are not consistent you may be asked to leave.

- I need reliable players, please don’t join if you think you will drop it in a week because you are too busy etc.

- Post minimum is one solid paragraph (i.e. 6 lines), anyone posting continuously below that is advised not to join.

- Classes from any of the 3 games will be allowed, custom classes must be approved by me before they are accepted.

- This is a purely text-based rp, no dice rolls to determine damage, no character stats etc.

- You must follow the profile outline I provide

- Length for personality and Bio sections should be at least 2 good paragraphs (6 sentences) and nothing but skills should be in point form

- Please put a brief description of each skill underneath the skill listed, you can copy, paste from the official descriptions

- Your CS must be approved before you can begin posting

- Absolutely no spoilers are allowed in the IC, OOC chat you may discuss the storyline and happenings but only in spoiler tabs. Please take this seriously. Nobody likes having a good thing spoiled.

- As of yet there are only a set number of milky way species in the Heleus cluster, if you wish to play a species not listed below you must ask me in a pm and come up with a very good reasonas to why they are there.

- Playable species: Human, Turian, Salarian, Asari, Krogan, Angara.

- Your character is automatically part of APEX, they are fighters. Please do not post characters that have no combat abilities, they will be refused.

- They are also mostly inexperienced, as the truly experienced fighters: the Asari commandoes, Salarian STG operatives and Turian officers already have jobs matching their skills within the Nexus. You will also not be playing any Krogan warlords.

- Just to make absolutely clear: this thread will include OCs only. No one will be allowed to play the main characters in the game.

SilverFlight Still interested and Turian is what I have drawn up, but I could make a male Quarian if we can add a thing about the Quarian's sending one or two people on the nexus since in the game all of them waited for their ark.

I'd allow that, if you have your heart set on a Quarian.

 

[IrritatedMind]

SilverFlight I would prefer Turian, but if too many people want to play Turian would pick Quarian as my second choice. I already have a lot of stuff drawn up for the Turian though. What forum do you want me to post the character sheet on?

Then take a turian. It'll be fine. ^^

 

[IrritatedMind]

Well here is what I have drawn up so far... The link will take you to the google doc I was drawing him up on. You said custom classes have to be approved by you anyway. If you want I can copy and past the information on here instead of you going to the link. I am not sure if any of the classes in the game has the three skills I want for him. Although I don't have a personality or description of his three skills on there yet.

I think that should be fine. Is your turian a cabal then?

 

[IrritatedMind]

SilverFlight My main thing about the Cabals is that they get trained rather hard and our people are supposed to start out rather green. He could have gotten only the basic cabal training before being picked for the initiative. Also got his personality and skill set up, just have to add in the BBcode and post it on the right forum.

Bio and personality are too short. Ideally I'd like that length doubled for each section.

 

[IrritatedMind]

I can add more no problem. Do it later time for some LoL.

 

[wdinatx]

Interested and Krogen. Probably vanguard.

This makes me happy. I love krogan.

 

[SilverFlight]

Still hiccups in the bb code, but here is my character so you can reference. This is roughly what I expect in terms of length and format.

Tarka “Tark” Zey Aran

Species: Angara

Age: 24

Class: Anagran Insurgent

​

Brief description:
Tarka’s skin is blue in colour, lighter on his face from his cheekbones down and spreading out onto the sides of his neck. He has a purple stripe trailing the center of his head right down to his chin and has a noticeable scar on the left side of his face. His eyes are also blue and seem to blend with his overall colour, though the light in them is hard to miss. He is small for a male Angara, standing half a foot below the average. Tarka usually chooses a combat suit fitted in an Angaran style and coloured black and teal.

• 
  Tarka is a bit unusual in that he does not follow the Angaran norm of being tightly-tied to his family. He always found himself on the outskirts of his home community and so found the company of the new aliens in his galaxy vastly preferable. Tarka is genuine, expressive, brutally honest and can also be a bit blunt, even by Angara standards. He takes most things with a laugh and this can make him come off as a bit insensitive. He feels deeply however and once he realizes he’s done injury he is very quick to make amends. Tarka’s smart mouth and flirtatious nature often gets him into more trouble than his good looks and charm can get him out of. Beneath his superficial and flakey attitude however is a loyal and dedicated fighter, one you would trust to have your back in whatever hell you came across.
  
  Tarka is difficult to anger, he is more likely to turn any inflicted insult into a joke, either at his own expense for at the expense of others. Being on the small side for an Angaran male he learned to divert anger rather than rise to meet it. If you were trying to get under his skin however simply mention the fact that he left the resistance. It is a point of shame in his eyes, and a sore topic. The second sure way to anger Tarka is to threaten anyone he cares about. Though he isn’t close to his biological family, his sense of family is very strong. He can become over protective at times with is either endearing or annoying depending on the circumstance. Overall Tarka is loud, friendly and a solid pillar when placed in almost any team. He will fake surety in the direst of circumstances and is a dependable and supportive soldier.
  
• 
  Tarka’s most winning feature is the fact that he can bring levity to any tense situation. He is often an excellent de-escalator and likes to play a supportive role in team relationships. His passion can be a blessing and a curse: on one hand it makes him dedicated and interested in almost everything, on the other, it facilitates strong opinions about things which can lead to confrontations.
  
  Tarka’s insecurities about not being a solid part of the Angaran community can sometimes put him on edge, especially around his own people. He is defensive and quick to anger when judged by another Angara. His inexperience and lack of formal training can also lead to tactical mistakes, though his pride often prevents him from admitting them.
  
• 
  Tarka was born on Voeld to a long lineage that called the planet home. He was brought up with the classic traditions of the Angara on that planet. He was taught the more common tongue early in his life, though his accent is still strong. When he was only a child his father made a grave error on a mission fighting the kett. He escaped, though his team was captured. The disgrace lead to a rift in Tarka’s family and, through no decision of his own Tarka was grouped with his traitorous father and became a target of animosity for many. At the age of 18 Tarka could no longer take the atmosphere and left his home, family and the resistance on Voeld, setting out for Kadara to start anew.
  The beginning was rocky and it didn’t take long for Tarka to be forced into working as a grunt for a small gang. He learned to fight much differently than what the resistance had taught him. The kett were still an issue, but the conflict was much more internal than it was on Voeld. Tarka learned to sleep on his pistol, and watch for knives in the dark.
  
  Tarka disliked the grey, gritty life, though he would always tell himself it was better than what he left behind. Two years prior to the appearance of the new aliens in the galaxy Tarka slipped free of the gang he worked for and instead took up a job as an entertainer at one of the clubs in Kadara port. The job was as much an entertainment for Tarka as it was for the club patrons, however when the alien outlaws arrived things began to feel uneasily similar to his life as a gang grunt and he began to look for a better option. It was only by chance that a Nexus agent came across him one night just as the agent’s cover was blown. Tarka, in a split-second decision chose to fight alongside her, which saved the human’s life. This earned him the recruitment request into APEX, which he took happily.

SilverFlight is a description okay instead of a picture though. I like the mental image I have of my turian, and can't really customize him, well other than his armor, if I go with an image of a turian on the multiplayer game.

No worries, just delete the image code and keep the description header. I've updated the code.

 

[Yonsisac]

SilverFlight How is this then -

Kirthos Baticus

Skin Color: Dark Blue

Species: Turian

Age: 25

Height: 6’5 (77 inches)

Weight: 235 pounds

Class: Cabal

Eye Color: Teal
Clan Markings: Green

Brief description:
An average looking Turian by at least as far as humans can tell, although from a Turian standpoint Kirthos is roguish-looking. Green clan markings form several circles on his fringe and several pointed fang-like markings across his face including one right between his eyes that ‘points’ towards his nose.His talons are kept rather sharp and he is roughly average height.

• Skills
• Weapons
• Personality
• Virtues & Flaws
• Bio

• 
  Tactical Cloak - When activated, it instantly renders the Infiltrator invisible to all enemies and grants a damage bonus to all weapons. However, it also halts health and shield regeneration, leaving the Infiltrator vulnerable once the cloak wears off.
  
  Energy Drain - Energy Drain saps enemies' kinetic barrier power to boost your shields. It travels in a straight line to the target, hitting instantly. Detonates primed targets.
  
  Singularity - Deploys a gravity well that lifts and damages unshielded and unarmored enemies. Primes enemies for combo detonations.
  
• 
  Asari Sword - The Asari Sword is a melee weapon. It allows the wielder to perform a biotic blink forward before striking.
  
  Valkyrie Assault Rifle - Variant of the Avenger that fires two round bursts the Valkyrie was at one point standard issue for new recruits to the Milky Way's Alliance military.
  
• 
  Due to the trauma of losing his parents, it took years before Kirthos was ready to speak, and even after he started talking he preferred to say very little. He tends to be quiet and slow to trust, often times seeming withdrawn. He generally avoids direct confrontation, although he isn’t the type to sneak around. If he has a problem with someone he will keep it to himself unless it isn’t an option and then he will be upfront about it. Those that he comes to trust however find another side to the Turian as he often rambles on when he decides to talk instead of getting right to the point.
  
  He spends most of his time alone due to his trust issues and hates being seen as a weapon or tool rather than a person, which is how he felt during his cabal training. His free time is spent generally alone with his Omni-tool looking into anything related to his next case.
  
• 
  Kirthos' best quality is his forgiving nature as he never stays mad at anyone. If he takes issue with someone and they talk it over, he won't hold anything against them. The few fights he has had, he has forgiven the others involved almost instantly after the fight is over. In fact the longest he has ever stayed mad at someone was two days.
  
  Kirthos' worst quality is the rage he feels when he sees a town attacked by raiders of any sort. He is reminded in these situations of the families that get ripped apart by the men and women who see others as expendable. He has put himself at risk on several occasions to stop raiders and normally winds up smiling in a hospital if he was able to help one person avoid the life he himself had to live.
  
• 
  Kirthos was an orphan found alone in a ruined town after a pirate attack. There was no record of a Turian family on the attacked planet where the boy was found, although, signs pointed to a group living there. Kirthos was roughly three when he was found and lead the Turian soldier who found him to a home where two dead Turians lay. The soldier found Kirthos’ name carved into a door that leads to the three-year-old's room, but most records on who the boy or his parents were, had been destroyed in the attack.
  
  It took years for the young Turian to start talking and by then anything he might have remembered at the time, he had forgotten. The boy was taken in by the soldier that found him until the day his biotics appeared. The boy wasn't the most talented biotic but eagerly looked forward to cabal training. Soon enough though he grew disillusioned with the life of a cabal as he was treated more like a tool than a person. Having no real family, as his caretaker had died shortly after he started his training, Kirthos never really fit in inside the Milky Way and jumped at the chance to get into the Andromeda Initiative.
