The galaxy is not as kind as it once was, for it has become far more dangerous... Whispers of an unknown race, that refuses all contact, are rampant, and the Central Colonial Administration is panicing, for several diplomatic ships were annhiliated out-right by the new-comers, using weaponry that seemed distinctly familiar, and yet all so terrible at the same time. Several planets have fallen to them, communications ceasing abruptly, and the CCA has moved its military might to protect those worlds considered to be the most threatened, and the CCA has decided to take an indirect approach, by hiring free-lancers, bounty hunters, anyone who's got nothing to lose, to find out who these newcomers really are...


There are massive pockets of resistance to the new-comers, and many CCA armed forces are stuck isolated from the rest of the military, and they too, resist. Yet if one looked at the invaders, they would find that they aren't much different the humans, yet all so different, as these invaders are stronger, faster, tougher then humans.

Okay, a few guidelines, (Obviously)
1) Remember the Gaia ToS...
2) Short and to the point would be appreciated, though length is obviously appreciated. NO GOD DAMN ONE LINERS! unless there's really no choice in the manner.
3) If there must be romance involved, keep it rather clean (PG-13)
4) Assume that every government soldier and alien soldier is intelligent, try to one man army a platoon of infantry, and they will cut you to shreds.
5) There are a few instant kill weapons (GASP!), but bear in mind the following, these weapons are rather easy to avoid, or to not be near generally, and they are Fusion Warheads and Disrupter Swords. Fusion Warheads, in general, are pretty much unstoppable due to their effects, and Disrupter Swords, well, get an energy shield, what more can I say?
6) No uber-soldiers. Even ones with diamond armor are easy to kill, get an energy weapon. Powered Combat Armors must have some sort of weakness if you're going to have one.
7) Literacy, Please, Literacy.

Name: Urai
Age: 22
Race: Human
General Occupation: Free Lancer

Description: Despite his 6'5" broad shouldered figure, Urai is a flippent rogue of a character, aloof and whimsical. He wears his thick brown hair in a shoulder blade length pony tail, pulled out of the way of his deep brown eyes. It is the thrill of adventure that keeps Urai in the free lance business. His every day dress is oversized combats dotted with various pockets. Neatly packed on his person is a climbing kit, rebreather, a combat knife, utility knife, a med kit, and 3 days worth of rations. In combat situations, he may also be found carrying spare ammo and vision enhancing goggles. The whole look is completed by a thick flak armoured vest pulled over the combats.

Urai's most valuable skill set is his marine style approach on combat. Its what many have taken to calling deep striking. Urai excels at being dropped from dizzing hieghts with nothing but a gravity surpressor chute. Infiltration and close quarter combat/firefights are another strength, while in the open battlefield, Urai is limited to defensive strageties.
His gun, the Exectutioner, fires large calibur armour piercing rounds called Hellfire rounds. He also carries a single round of similar design that explodes on contact.

Born and raised on a small planet on the outer reaches of Galatea's system, Urai lived in a small community that praised itself on it mechanical expertise. At the same time, it spurned the cybornetic nature of the scientific community, claiming the the unison of humans and technology was a grave mistake. When civil war broke out in the country around him, Urai's community was forced to seek shelter in the high mountain caverns to avoid becoming the target of the public's aggression do to the confrontational nature on the matter of the ethics of cybornetic technologies. Because his technological skills in repair were not the best in his communities, Urai decided to contribute by becoming a patrol man to keep the caverns free of interlopers. When the civil war finally died down, Urai found no further use for his skills. He left on a space barge determined to explore the world and perhaps find new skills that would enable him to contribute to his natal community. On his way to terra, Urai discovered that his current skill set was in demand. The large universe was stricken by violent confrontations and he was readily employed by several shady orginizations for various missions. When the Zurian hit, it did not concern Urai, who was not interested in battling over-whelming odds and superior technology. While in transition at Alpha Centauri, he heard that Galatea had fallen as well, but with the focus of the ship building becoming military, Urai found no way off the planet when he made up his mind to see if he could return to his planet and save his family. The CCA would not hire him, since Alpha Centurian privateers
are considered second rate. It seems Urai's only hope of even getting off the planet is either to earn money by accepting a private deal or join an existing privateer team that has already been employed by the CCA.


And now there is me... with a severely edited character, just no history.


Name: Asrael Saidrian

Race: Zurian -- Dragoon Strain.

Weaponry, that is usually on hand. Can use whatever else he damn well wants, as he is proficient in just about every Zurian weapon availble.
ZLI36 12x7mm assault carbine: This assault rifle is 1.2 meters long, and has a forty-five round capacity. The weapon has a maximum rate of fire of 800 rounds a minute. Each slug that is standard issue with the rifle are High-Explosive Armor Piercing, or HEAP rounds. While the explosives are small compared to the rest of the bullet, the explosives are more then to disable and most likely kill a humaniod target, such as a Zurian or Human. The weapon also has its own infrared laser sights, which wirelessly link to the helmet, to increase general accuracy. The kick on the weapon is great enough that a Zurian Light Infantry(wo)man must drop into a kneeling stance to control the kick on full auto. Accuracy is moderate on full auto, 'moderate' being about four out of six rounds hitting the general area of the target, with one to two rounds actually hitting it. The weapon features single shot and burst fire modes as well as automatic. Those firing modes are much more accurate. The weapon's power is enough to penetrate a 3 centimeter plate at 25 meters. The explosives onboard the weapon can shatter a concrete block one meter by one meter by 2 centimeters. To help conserve ammunition used by the light-infantryman, an electronic ammo counter sits above the magazine release button, and the infrared sights also transmits this information to the soldier using it. The weapon is also prone to jamming if the weapon is on full automatic, though this would take several reloads, which would have to be lightning fast. The round velocity is roughly 314 meters per second, making it devestatingly powerful against armor, if it does not penetrate it to begin with. A reinforced stock is also included, which is adjustable, and when used in melee combat, serves as a powerful hand to hand weapon. (For those of you who do not know 12x7mm rounds mean, it's fifty caliber.)

KA18 Heavy Pistol, 12x7mm: This pistol fires slugs of the same size as the Z36 Assault Carbine. Unfortunately, ammunition for both weapons are not cross-compatible, due to the slugs having different powder charges and are of different sizes. This particular pistol fires High-Velocity-Armor-Piercing rounds. The bullet is coated with a compound that reduces the majority of air friction. These rounds, travel at an insane 512 meters per second, which is a good 63% faster then carbine shells.
The weapon resembles a twenty first century desert eagle, except for the fact that when the weapon empties its seven round clip, the firing chamber and barrel slide forward, ejecting the spent clip out of the pistol clip, and a truly expeirenced weilder of KA18s, can eject the clip and reload it in the same motion. The pistol is semi-automatic, and has a hefty kick to it, making accurate, rapid-fire shots difficult, though manageable.

Officer Diamond Power Sword: As if the penetration qualities of razor sharp diamond were not enough, a grid of emitters runs beneath the surface, when active, it disrupts a molecule's atomic bond and nullifies the nuclear reaction by creating an equal reaction, disintigrating whatever it comes in contact with. When it is active, a glowing green or blue aura is emitted around the blade, leaving trails of light as it moves. It is as light as a katana for it is a thin blade and just as long as a Wakizashi. The sword's power systems are efficent enough to squeeze out a battery span of eight hours... its rechargable in a matter of minutes, through solar collection. The weapon can easily be defended against by any sort of energy shielding, as the weapon CANNOT go through the shields. These weapons are also very definitive, and very few people own Disrupter Swords outside the Zurian Armed Forces. The swords come in all sizes, up to the ridiculous 'anti-tank' swords the Zurian Armored Legionnaires use.


Magic/Psionics: Asrael's psionics/magic are very limited and very powerful. The first ability he has, is to accelerate an inanimate object to high speeds, or to crush it. This fatigues Asrael quickly, and if he were to do this to an organic being, he would most likely render himself useless for the rest of the day, and the next morning as well. While combat drugs such as Celerity can mitigate the fatigue effects, they have their own prices to pay up, far worse then what fatigue can dish out. He can also heal himself and other beings to a limited degree, but as with dealing damage to an organic being, this is a worst-case scenario ability, as it will ruin any sort of capacity he could serve in, until the next morning, and then some.

Description:
He is roughly 5'11 feet tall and heavily built from his time in the Armored Legions. His hair is a deep naval blue and his eyes are jade. His ears are elfin and while not distractingly so... pretty long. If anyone watches him move, they notice that he has a slight limp on his right leg, not enough to effect combat performance but certainly noticeble. His armor is jet black with gold and red highlights around the edges and on the right breast, a falcon not of Earth origin has its wings outstretched wide and is a bright jade color. It is screeching and has it's claws in the open position. Under that it says Lieutenant Saidrian (In Zurian,) His helmet is rather large and unwieldy, but it is quite comfortable to wear. The main component of the helmet is a death-black visor, which seems to absorb light. It can be flipped up or down as needed. There are two 'mandibles' that curve to his face from either side of his helmet and these are lined with holo-projectors which display the HUD on his visor. The helmet can also be sealed, with a switch on the chin of the helmet, which then extends diamond plating to create a pressue seal around the helmet. The helmet can provide him with a clean air supply indefinitely through poisonous environments. It carries a one hour air supply which will give Asrael approximately a one hour, fifteen minute time before he collapeses from oxygen deprivatation. On one side of the helmet is the same falcon striking towards the visor and from there on. The armor itself is made from a steel frame with diamond plates fused onto the frames. His joints (like elbow, back of knee,) are not armored. He has a tatoo that in zurian again, along his juggular vein, that says 'CUT HERE' and a little pair of scissors next to it, as though it were something to cut out of like an elementry school hand-out. His day to day clothing is a black jumpsuit with the ODT's logo emblazoned on the back and right breast. The jumpsuit has plenty of pockets, of which Asrael stashes anything and everything. The suit is made out of a light synthetic material that cools itself or retains heat depending on the ambient temperatures. Under that, he wears a pair of shorts and a black t-shirt, with the 13th ODT logo emblazoned on the back. Any one can tell that he is fiercely loyal to the unit beyond normal measures.

Other important information you may need to know...


Major Worlds and Occupied Worlds

Alpha Centauri:
Alpha Centauri is the capital world of the CCA, while overhead control is on Terra, the majority of the CCA office complexes are located here. The CCA's military administration and naval yards are located here as well. It is only a short hop from Alpha Centauri to Terra, so it is a major nexus of trade as well. If you're in the CCAAF, You start out here.

Beta Centauri:
Alpha Centuari's closest neighbor, so to speak, is another major hub, as it is in the middle of Human expansion. As such, its naval yards will churn out self-sufficent colony ships for anyone who has the money to buy one.

New Sythris:
New Sythris is a thriving world on the Eastern Borders of current Human expansion. Almost anything and everything can be found here for a price. The CCA has decided to do any sort of privateer hiring here, as to oppose to Alpha Centauri, where such 'undesirables' are unwelcome.
Thus, most privateers are going to start out here.

Luthien:
Luthien was where first contact between the aliens was detected. Luthien Aerospace Defence Command, tried diplomacy first, but the invaders did not respond through any means. Many theories have been suggested but none of them are true. The real reason is that Zurian communications equipment operate on a much higher freqancy (sp?), so they never got the messages. Or any of them for that matter. When LADC launched several frigates and a number of fighters, the unknown fleet responded in kind and destroyed the LADC ships. They then attacked and destroyed the orbital docks and the Orbital Elevator, after doing that, they moved ships into geosynchronus orbit over major cities, and launched dropships.
LADC ground forces were slaughtered, but not without the invaders taking casulties as well, since the synthetic diamond armor they have does not provide any protection against energy weapons.

Galatea:
Galatea was a semi-major production world, by suppling parts for the surrounding colonies. Again, unknown ships appeared over Galatea aerospace, and did not respond to any communications. The same results as on Luthien were the end result. The situation is even more dire, since many of the fledgling colonies around Galatea, are planets who need ample spare parts so that anything that does go wrong can get fixed in a hurry. Also, those colonies do not have their own FTL Communication Stations, and must rely on Galatea's own FTL communication station.


The CCAAF is looking for anyone who can successfully reconnoiter the unknowns, and find out why they are there, and if diplomatic relations can be established. The reward is enough to garuntee the people who are able to do this, to join the ranks of the ridiculously rich.

I like the idea here, but I need a sense of where we would actually start. (I wasn't sure if you were done yet). Would we all start on a ship? Something like that?

i like it, nice detail, relitivly easy to get the grasp of, but pendens right, when you have a whole universe to start it its kinda hard to find where everyone else will be, which could lead to everyone being stuck on a planet by them selves, i get the feel that most of the people are suposed to be bounty hunters so why dont you start it with some kind of meeting or announcement thing by the government , then have everyone leave from there

PS. I wasn't asking to critique-- I want to play SciFi! I just want some sort of hint for creating a character xd

i have a question, where did you get the name "undercon" from?, i cant figure it out
PostPosted: Wed Jan 04, 2006 11:06 am


Start whereever, there's a number of worlds I described of worlds, start anywhere.

Under Con is shortened for Under Construction.

Did I mention that there was an announcement put out by the CCA

hi. Interested. How about for the title: Crown of Conquest or Throne of Conquest or something?

Erhm, as a whole, the Zurian race isn't really out to conquer anybody, they just shot back, and then some.

I guess it could work...

Not really, the entirety of the Zurian population's been booted off their homeworlds, and they showed up in Luthien, and assumed orbital positons, really minding their own buisness, and if anything doing a general reorganization of the fleet, so there was a lot of ships moving around. And there are far more destroyers and the like

But when every ship looks like a military vessel, including the Colony Ships/Carriers, Luthien Aerospace Defense Command sweated bullets, launched their frigates and fighters, and shot at the Zurians. At the colony ships specifically, since they were a bit out of the way.

And when you're short a homeworld... People shooting at your colony ships would make you angry. Very angry. So the entirety of the Zurian fleet returned fire and obliterated the fighters and frigates, and putting the planet into a 'lock-down,' where troop carriers, manuvered into position above the planet's major cities, star port, slaughtered the orbital docks and Orbital Elevator, which is a giant elevator, from the surface to orbit...

And landed the marines, and ODTs, and other general badass infantry, instituted Martial Law, and other then no one allow to do anything after sun down, under pain of being shot by a gellatin round, and put in hand-cuff made for Zurians, and left in the middle of town.
