The Intrepid: Terror From Beyond!! (Character applications and OOC here, CURRENTLY FULL)

Sign up now for your chance to explore the UNIVERSE!

That's right! The Galaxies FIRST truly intergalactic science vessel has finally been complete, after centuries of research, construction, and cooperation from the galaxies most prominent nations. The Intrepid, the largest and most advanced science vessel ever created with international intent capable of traversing the DEAD SPACE between galaxies, sets out to begin its trials before its final mission...

With over 40K crewmembers, and facilities for double such numbers, the United Worlds are seeking highly qualified applicants for the EVENT just on the Horizon! Perhaps you were RAISED BY WOLVES and happen to be a little tough? No problem! There are numerous positions needing to be filled aboard the magnificent Intrepid, including bright eyed researchers, cooks, retail workers, engineers, biosphere managers, and everything in between.

Sporting all manner of facilities, the Intrepid certainly is THE THING of beauty! Apply at your local consulate today, for it will certainly be a HELLRAIZING event!

---

An episodic adventure awaits! Tone is set by the players. No gods or kings, ageless okay! Cults, Magic, and science magic allowed, just don't call it that in front of certain supervisors... I can be persuaded on things as well!

Seeking command team members:
Any individual an expert in their field to take charge of a particular section of the ship, who will collaborate with other command staff and make recommendations to the captain.

Seeking snipes err, Jr. Crewmembers:
Any individual with upstanding motivation and eager for adventure (unassigned will be assigned tasks to fill crew billets)!

Note- applicants are not to bring weapons, explosives, or biohazardous material on board. Thank you for your cooperation.

Episodic in nature, there will be an end to every episode, to keep things from getting out of hand or from going on too long. Players can swap old or new characters at beginning and end or leave and come back if they like. There's a lot of folks on the ship, so even underway this won't be an issue.

If you might be interested, feel free to post a character below! No specific character sheet needed, just a description of who they are, what they might be applying for, what they're good at, and what they're bad at. Image references welcome!

Final player number TBD. If a lot, we'll split up into multiple spin off series.

((Oooh, space shenanigans, at a far different tier than the space shenanigans I've done recently. No gods or kings, huh? I introduced a few extra options that weren't either category during that other one, including a couple species, so I've got room to work here... I'll probably bring the space bunnies, or the Boteinians as I'll call them, from that RP into this at some point, but that's not who I'm starting as.))

"'The Galaxies' FIRST truly intergalactic science vessel has finally been completed'... well, this is the exact kind of opportunity I've been waiting for. Maybe this time they won't mistake me for that trigger-happy gunner from Earth fiction."

The goose reading the poster adjusted his jacket. He'd actually been aware of this poster previously, but today was the day he was actually going to apply. He'd packed his set of nano-tools with him this time, eager to be a junior engineer on this vessel. He'd only trained for a few years, so being the senior engineer was out of the question. Those first few years had been some grueling tours of duty, though, so at least he wouldn't be completely green.

He had noticed something on the upper left arm's sleeve and brushed it off with his lower right hand. He then saw his feathers were getting ruffled and smoothed them down. He'd have to get to the consulate fast before he messed up more.

After all, it would not do Dorian Branta any good if he showed up to a potential interview less than perfect, would it?

((I refer to Dorian Branta's species as 'Rukbatian'. They are essentially four-armed anthropomorphic waterfowl - in Dorian's case, imagine a four-armed anthro Canada goose. No visual references available, but there is a four-armed duck in fiction already...))

((Type of character is engineer... exact proficiencies... I'm going to have to go through the first deck or two of System Shock 2 again and get back to you on it as that's how I'm determining it. He may have a slight amount of psionic potential given the nature of that game...))

Submitting my application for Quartermaster. Who else is better suited for navigation and helm than a duck?
Optimistic and fiercely loyal, this wide-eyed petty officer has years of experience on the bridge. Sure, I'm likely to get lost *IN* the ship, but at least I always know where it's going.

OOOo, sounds like fun! May I be the navigator position? Mambi as my usual sleek black portal-casting ageless cat can maybe be "using my knowledge of space and dimensions" to assist your mission. Totally subservient to your captain of course, and pinky-promised not to use my portals as per the Anti-Magick act he was forced to sign before being recruited...at least not using them much. <wink>

Oooo, @Marius Merganser got navigator seconds before I did <giggle>...no problem, I'll take another position! <bows humbly>

How about maybe, science officer or exobiology? Same conditions otherwise of course.

Updated everything at the top, I'll try to keep applications and universally relevant information up in the first post for easy access. I'll clarify any confusion there. For tonight though, we'll just call them duel applicants.

((So I did what I said, played out a bit of System Shock... and can explain what I was thinking with Dorian Branta.

At a baseline, you're looking at a junior engineer with nano-tools. Basically a standard-issue repair and maintenance kit, in a smaller size. His actual proficiencies with repair and modifications are about baseline - if your average person is a 0 and a master in the field is a 10, Dorian's at most a 3.

Should his area come under attack, I'd say his proficiency with weapons is less than that, about a 1. He better knows how to maintain and repair a weapon than to actually use it.

These are both slated to improve in future episodes depending on how things play out.

The part that might be questionable, and why I needed to go play System Shock 2 again, is that Dorian has a cybernetic rig in his head, beneath those feathers. Normally not an issue, it's plausible that quite a few engineers have them. Dorian's is a little... modified towards the paranormal. He can see psychic phenomena right off the bat, and will likely get limited psychic powers in episodes past the first.

Will this work?))

Absolutely! The science section of the ship is rather large, and there is a cybernetics wing to service and update modifications, should something terrible happen... ah, but hopefully he won't have to actually use any weapons! This is a peaceful endeavor after all... he he he...
