Friday night=new forum game, and its about time I made one.
its 2156. science has proved nay-sayers wrong: project REDEX has launched and is fully operational. its the launch of a space station that will be fully mobile and going to colonize mars! everyone who signed up is rich, because it will take almost 40 years before they will be coming back. you are one of these people. the station is really a ship, but was categorized as a "mobile station" because of its size and capabilities. its 3 miles long, 3 miles tall, and 5 miles wide. there is a rations storage capable of supporting 500 people for 75 years. and that is what it needs to do: because there are 500 people on this mission. your goal was to colonize Mars. Surprisingly, it never happened yet, and this could be the 1st success. you are currently on the ship, with many other people. you know a few, but not many. you have been on the ship for 3 years now, and things are going well. you are all trained space marines, capable of using plasma lasers and special anti-gravity combat. you used to be an average soldier, but for this mission they said you needed to learn special combat.
character sheet:
Name: Age: Bio: (it doesn't matter if you choose to do this or not) location: (tba) ---------- Command: (this is your division, the people in charge of you, and the people you are with. to be announced) Rank: Private 2nd Class Level: 1 (0/10 XP) Class: (below) ---------- inventory: (to be announced) equipment: (to be announced)
to be perfectly clear, you are all on the same ship. the admiral is in charge of everything, and his name is John Sylis. you address him as admiral Sylis. you don't need to know anything else, you will find it out for yourself. you have to listen to what your above command says. currently, that's everyone. if you don't listen to them, you could face consequences. but in this game you will craft an experience for yourself. what happens in this game will be escalating quickly, and anything happening to the ship will effect everyone.
Classes: (pick 1. this determines equipment, class, and weaponry you are good with.) light assault: these guys are good with light assault weapons. they specialize in being quick and effective, and they are normally front line infantry. if this game comes to combat, your the 1st to fight. fast, average health, moderate damage, average accuracy. heavy assault: these guys can use anything heavy. they are front line, and will always fight alongside eachother with light assault. more health, slow, heavy damage, low accuracy. sniper: they are obviously long ranged pros with accuracy. using almost only sniper rifles, they are versatile. fast, low health, extreme damage, extreme accuracy. combat medic: they heal downed people. this job is boring, hard, but potentially the most important on the field. their weapons are just a healer, which heals units and revives them. extreme health, low damage, average speed, extreme accuracy (using the healer)
armor must be attained, standard issue will be given to you but its weak. it will be class based, as well as weapons. have fun!

Why would we need soldiers to attack a barren, lifeless planet? I'm guessing the hidden plot is that there are either martians, a prison camp where all the prisoners got out, or a hidden military base which rebelled.
welcome, lets hope your active, and thanks for joining in only 10 minutes.

your bio is very technical with the situation, but doesn't need to be anything like that. people without military training got on the ship for scientifical reasons, but everyone was given basic training weather they wanted to or not.
you didn't pick a class, which I have to say is important. do that, but I can still give you a starting scenario.
you wake up in a bed. its not like anything on earth, the bed is hovering above another, above another. you can still get down though, because the bed moves and lowers to the ground with voice command. your used to it. your division, or command, is under Ajackson Fluid, one of the most important men on the ship. you have never met him, because your the 2nd largest division and everything gets relayed down to you. the man who usually gives you orders is Lieutenant Sdoline, and he is entering the dorms now. you get out of bed, dress behind a screen that pops up, then walk into a line. he is doing a rode call, and comes to you. "Mikhailov, Dmitriy..." "Present and reporting," you say. its normal. at the end of the attendance, he announces, "everyone has an off day today...you can do whatever you wish." its nice that he is giving you this, it normally doesn't happen. mostly, you train in battle simulators. this is an advanced ship. you can exit the dorms, or talk among the 30 people with you.

I chose it because conscription is mandatory in Russia, so might as well have him be one
I leave the dorms, look for something to eat. equipment: (to be announced)

Why would we need soldiers to attack a barren, lifeless planet? I'm guessing the hidden plot is that there are either martians, a prison camp where all the prisoners got out, or a hidden military base which rebelled.
they tell you its marshal status. really, no reason is implied, but anything could happen. its really a way to keep you in shape. you need to have sharp instincts to survive on a barren planet.
you wake in a hovering bed. you call it down to the ground, then you hear someone call to you. "morning Dave...even though it might not be." you look out the window to see black space. you realize that is a truthful statement. your under the command of Ajackson Fluid, 2nd division, but you are not in the same dormitory dmitriy is in. your given orders by general Sanford Stanley, who is of greater importance on the ship. he doesn't enter the room, so you can do as you wish. he is not a very strict commander, so you have it easy. next to you is your inventory, a CS-90 epiblaster, and a P-4 pistol. weapons in this game must be charged, and will lose charge when used and while not charging. your combat suit is a heavy combat chassis, and is very protective.
Name: John Shadow Age: 23 Bio: Not good at bios⦠location: Dormitory A (3rd floor) ---------- Command: Commander Hector M'jayford, 1st division Rank: Private 2nd Class Level: 1 (0/10 XP) Class: sniper ---------- inventory: Twine long rifle, powerblister 2 equipment: light stealth chassis
you awaken in a bed. (I smell a theme) you call the hovering mattress to the ground, then change. your sniper rifle is in the corner charging with your powerblister, which is an extremely powerful pistol. your under the command of Hector M'jayford, 1st division. its the largest division, and the best. M'jayford is a fun person, but your given orders by sergeant Mic'lentald. he is also nice, but is very short tempered. he walks in. "today everyone, you will have a free day, orders from M'jayford." everyone cheers. not often can you have this opportunity.

Well, I guess I leave my room and go to get something to eat.
Name: John Shadow Age: 23 Bio: He was trained in the military and is great with a sniper rifle. He was then trained to use plasma weapons etc. and sent to mars. location: cafeteria (1st floor) ---------- Command: Commander Hector M'jayford, 1st division Rank: Private 2nd Class Level: 1 (0/10 XP) Class: sniper ---------- inventory: Twine long rifle, powerblister 2 equipment: light stealth chassis
you enter the cafeteria. its large, and the tables are fit to conform to the way you sit. you sit, and a droid comes over to you. "would you like today's special sir?" it is extremely obvious this thing is cheap, but with good reason. its not important, so the might as well cut corners with it. your at a table with other people from your dormitory. "well if it isn't the sniper in our dorm, john...im assuming you can actually shoot now?" they laugh. you aren't a great shot for a sniper, and they all make fun of you for it.

you enter the cafeteria, to see the amazingly comforting seats they have. everyone is enjoying breakfast. you walk over to a seat in-between 2 nerds. "so I heard they changed the temperature regulation down about 5 degrees I the dorms...im goona be freezing," the one on your right says. he has blond hair, brown eyes, and electro braces. those a braces that are not in the form of metal, but electrical holograms. the other one nods. he is fat and content. "chances are their getting us ready for the marshian atmosphere...I don't suppose we have a say in this."

you as well enter the cafeteria, and sit next to your dorm. you sit and see nothing interesting. "I heard tomorrow is a grand opening of a dueling arena where we will be able to fight eachother." you look to see Adrian talking to some girl he probably likes. it wouldn't surprise you. on the other side of the table you hear a slam. "Im tired of this!" Colt sanders then punches your best friend, dean, in the face. he falls back, and a medical drone comes over to him. everyone crowds around him. "get him a medic." the drone says.

"you have only said that for the last 2 years," he says. everyone turns to see Dean Gerim get punched in the face. medical drones are whirring around.

Why force me to have a best friend? There were a dozen ways to do it without forcing backstory on me, just saying.
