Anyone interested in attempting another Exusia?

Also for this one I'm going to try to DM more and RP less because that caused issues in Exusia 1. So Ares will probably be a minor character (or someone can play as him if they are too lazy to roll their own character).

Alright that's probably enough interest to warrant an RP. I'll post more details tomorrow but this will probably be before the war described in Exusia I. It might take place during the last major war in Exusia's history which was an epic war with Aurora that Exusia won.

Or it might be before the revolution and focus on Gunslinger training. Depends. Tom and I will talk and figure it out.

Paintcheck

Alright story decided on. This is going to be fairly combat-heavy because Tom and I have already come up with some of Exusia's lore and we know how this goes ICly. Post characters in here, going to keep it capped at 5 or 6 players because with too many players comes an increased likelihood of someone not posting and ruining it.

I'll make a more detailed first post but here's the deal.


EXUSIA VI: DROPZONE

For this story arc we are going backwards from Exusia one. About 30 years before the events of Exusia I and Exusia's downfall, Exusia found itself in a war against Aurora, the other major superpower in this area of space. After a long and bloody campaign Exusia launched a daring assault on Aurora's capital planet. The RP will take place during that assault. You can be any sort of soldier (you do not have to be a Gunslinger). If you do pick a Gunslinger please note this is 30 years before Exusia I so all of the Gunslingers mentioned in that story haven't even been born yet (though since no one signed up to be a Gunslinger in I or II and III died in infancy I doubt anyone is too attached to a particular character)

Backstory (Doesn't need to be super in-depth, feel free to make up historical events):



Plunger

Name: Weston Dituri

Ages: 26

Appearance: Weston has a head of brown hair covered partially by a helmet that remains almost constantly unstrapped. His face, below his plain grey eyes, is clean shaven. He has a fair complexion, mostly caused from the constant exposure to the sun during the various battles that were fought recently. He wears fatigues with a combat vest draped over, colored in various tones of grey with a small red, and white patch pressed against his shoulder to demonstrate his role as a Sergeant in his battalion.

Role/Speciality/MOS: Shock Trooper

Personal Gear (Because everyone loves gear porn):

1x CLLR-24 Assault Rifle: Semi-Automatic/3-Round Burst/Fully Automatic with a thirty round magazine. A telescopic sight lies on top of it, fitted along a notched surface for removal with a multi tool.
1x OH-3 Handgun: Semi-Automatic, with a thirteen round magazine.
1x Combat Pack: A dull brown pack slung across his back that contains basic supplies.
1x Combat Helmet: A combat helmet in a hemisphere shape that covers his head, it's got straps that hand down loosely by his chin for when combat begins.
1x Combat Vest: A bullet proof vest for defence against certain small arms fire.
1x Pack of Cigarettes: Self explanatory.
1x Metallic Lighter: See above.

Backstory (Doesn't need to be super in-depth, feel free to make up historical events): Weston grew up in one of the outer sector cities, and lived for the most part in poverty for his youth. At age sixteen he was recruited by one his planets PMCs, and trained under them, participating in small scale skirmishes run by corporate sponsors, or smaller governments involved in scrupulous activities. When the war between Exusia, and Aurora was sparked, he quit his job, and was drafted into the military where he used his previous employment experience to rise to the rank of Sergeant.

Name: Alexey Timiriov

Ages: 23

Appearance: Photo. Alexey is a man of slavic facial features.   He wears a khaki uniform with a bulletproof vest, a hat (something like the russian pilotka, I know I'm ripping off), a rucksack and 4 ammo pouches.

Role/Speciality/MOS: Volunteer in the defence of the capital

Personal Gear (Because everyone loves gear porn):

1 SRV-41 - Semi-automatic rifle with a 15 round magazine issued to Auroran volunteers. The one issued to Alexey has a bayonet mounted on it.
1 Rucksack - Contains extra ammunition, rations and other supplies.
1 Hat - An auroran equivalent of a pilotka.
1 Helmet - A combat helmet.
1 Light bulletproof vest - Body armour issued to volunteers, more protective armor was reserved to full-time soldiers and reservists.
1 Bayonet - Mounted on the rifle.
1 Trench knife - A sheathed knife. The sheath is strapped to the leg. Not a standard-issue.
2 Water canteens - One strapped to the belt, second is in the rucksack.
Rations for 1 day - consisting of MRE and classic dark chocolate.

Backstory (Doesn't need to be super in-depth, feel free to make up historical events): Alexey Timiriov was a typical scoundrel, being a living embodiment of carpe diem. He grew up in the Exusian slums with his family consisting of a brother and two sisters (stereotypical srp character go). His brother died in the battle of Aurea Mundi which is regarded as the second biggest battle of the Exusio-Auroran war. His sisters volunteered to help with the war effort, both being relegated to a declared neutral zone, Red Cross-esque planet of Benevolens. When the Exusian started to employ mercs he grabbed the chance and signed a contract with the Empire, for it offered a chance at leaving the poor strata.

Much better idea Kieck, mostly because I'm lazy lol. The Borderlands between Exusia and Aurora would have plenty of free agents from each side in them.

Name: Vincent "Janus" De Graeff

Ages:26

Appearance: Short Black hair, dull green eyes , clean shaven, muscular for a light frame. He typically wears a black duster with a black vest over a white dress shirt tucked into his black dress pants. He carries a high pitched but smooth and quieter voice.

Role/Speciality/MOS: Gunslinger, Cloak and Dagger

Personal Gear (Because everyone loves gear porn):

1x Skeletal Frame Javelin sniper rifle
2x custom made .45 revolvers (6 rounds per revolver)
2x Combat Knives
Satchel
Silver Pocket Watch
1x Smoke Grenade
2x FlashBang
Light bullet proof vest 
Light bullet proof Duster
Bandolier belt


Backstory (Doesn't need to be super in-depth, feel free to make up historical events):
Vincent De Graeff was born to the highborn family De Graeff (go figure). House De Graeff is very well respected family among the highborns due their successful trading corporation that helps web the empire together. Vincent however, does not get along with his family very well save his youngest brother Edward De Graeff (who is a gunslinger in training), and his one year older sister Elise De Graeff (who has successfully abandoned the house at a young age in order to pursue her dream as being a Doctor). The problem that Vincent has with the rest of his family is that Vincent has a firm belief (with some evidence) that his father (Oscar De Graeff) see's his children as valuable assets to further strengthen the De Graeff Trading Company. At a young age, a De Graeff child is already being trained in university level economics and business. The only career path that a De Graeff child is able to choose is either a career in the family business or to swear their life and allegiance to the Empire and go through Gunslinger training. The latter, although a very highly respectable position in Exusia, is met with estrangement from the House but for Vincent, this did not matter.
   Vincent has been a gunslinger specified in the art of cloak and dagger for 8 years now. For his first two years as a gunslinger, he was assigned missions to help work with city marshal's and lawmen in lowering crime rates. After having success in taking down two small sized (but pesky) crime syndicates, Vincent was recognized as having potential in being a useful gunslinger in the war on Aurora. His missions before the assault have typically been sabotage and information gathering with a little bit of assassinating on the side.

Additonaly Information: Vincent has one older brother and one older sister and three younger brothers and four younger sisters.
            Vincent's master is a famous gunslinger under the alias of "Saturn". He started with 30 pupils and graduated 9 gunslingers, 3 of which have been killed in action. "Saturn" is not involved in the war as he is seen more valuable as a teacher than as a fighter.

Was anyone else planning to submit a character? If so please post (even if it's not a completed sheet) and I'll get this started as soon as I can.

Paintcheck

Well looks like no more characters are coming so I'm going to try to get this going tomorrow or Friday.


Tom

Name: Achilles

Ages: In his twenties

Appearance: He's a tall muscular man with dirty blonde hair and grey eyes. His face is clean shaven which leads to him looking younger than he really is. When he isn't in battle he's usually found wearing BDU bottoms and a T-shirt and his brown duster. He also likes to wear his gunbelt all the time.

Role/Speciality/MOS: Gunslinger, Pretty much good at anything the empire tells him to do (Athena of that time period)

Personal Gear (Because everyone loves gear porn):

1x Sinclair Arms custom made sniper rifle
1x Sinclair Arms custom made revolver
1x Auroran style combat blade
1x PDA
2x HE Grenades
Some various other explosives
1x Flashbang
1x Gunslinger protective Armor
1x Protective Duster
1x Bandolier and load bearing vest

(Just saw this, I'm hoping I'm not too late)

Name: Alex "Cerberus" Richtor

Age: early twenties

Appearance: On the taller side of average height, with a thin but strong build. Has a thin beard and a fauxhawk that appears to be a darker brown color. Out of combat, he sports a black and white patterned shemagh, loose black cargo pants that have been worn almost to a grey, and a green Tanktop. In combat, he perfers all adaptive camo fatigues.

Role/Speciality/MOS: "Dark" Ops, Psych Ops, Spec Ops, Sensitive Information Detail

Personal Gear (Because everyone loves gear porn):

1x combat Balisong, obsidian edge
1x Auroran-style switchblade (single edge)
1x tactical "Adaptive" camo lightweight armor (designed for slight protection with little compromise to maneuverability)
2x carbonfiber weave plates (in armor suit)
1x Binoculars w/ infrared, thermal, and sonar functions
1x Earpiece AR phone
1x Damascus Steel Machette
1x Sinclair Arms Heavy Pistol, Silenced
1x ASV-2 (Spoils of war)
2x "Kill-Pills" (you can guess what they do)
2x Mags ASV-2
8x Mags Heavy Pistol

Backstory (Doesn't need to be super in-depth, feel free to make up historical events):

Alex constantly led at the top of his class. School when he was younger came too easily, and the only thing that fascinated him was combat training, and psychology. Over the course of his studies he immersed himself not only in methods of combat that perfected his body into a weapon, but his mind. He began to show promise in the fields of combat on the front lines, not only because of a cold and calculating method of dispatching enemies, but because he became so efficient that he would purposefully begin to take prisoners to "question" for sensitive information. These, coupled with his high agility, accuracy and strength tests got him recruited for the Gunslingers at age 17, and allowing him to establish himself well within the ranks, and becoming known for advanced intel retrieval, a controlled but unpredictable psyche, and strategic engagement.

Hobbies include: bulletcrafting, sharpening knives, flipping the balisong, screwing with peoples heads

[NOTE:] Saw the Post from Paintcheck, thanks for the heads up, I hope I got the lore correct this time

(edit: added Gunslinger alias, and changed military position to match lore)

#18
Name: Virgil "Butcher" Bosser

Age: 25

Appearance: A tall, lanky man with pale skin. He is fit, but has only average muscle mass.

Role/Speciality/MOS: Surgeon (trained as a medical specialist to perform both first aid and field surgery)

Personal Gear (Because everyone loves gear porn):
1x  AX-33M Combat Environment Suit (medic version) - A standard issue, skin tight suit of a strong material. It offers no bullet protection, as it is meant to be worn under armor. Instead it is intended to protect the wearer against harsh environments, such as extreme heat, cold, and vacuum.
1x  CA-441 Combat Harness -- A lightweight harness with four slots for armor plating(1 front, 1 back, 1 each side) that also has six magazine pouches and a slot on the back for a radio or a medical kit.
1x  B-5 Ensi
6x  B-5 Ensi Magazines(1 loaded)
1x  Medical Kit (Includes gauze pads, epinephrine, morphine, syringes, suture kit, etc.)

Backstory (Doesn't need to be super in-depth, feel free to make up historical events):
Born to a high ranking naval officer, Virgil seemed to be destined for greatness. He was exceptionally bright, scoring very high in math and science. However, he lacked social skills and remained average in physical build. His father was very encouraging, allowing him to go to medical school. However, against his father's best wishes he pursued a career in the military rather than sticking with his academic studies. After medical school, he was assigned as a medical officer and served two tours repelling minor Auroran activity on the edge of the Exusian borders. Whilst there, he was diagnosed with PTSD, reportedly after witnessing a massive Auroran improvised bombing while patrolling a rebel stronghold in Vega IV, treating several of the involved soldiers and amputating many of their limbs, earning him the name "Virgil the Butcher". Inspite of his condition, the Exusian military saw him as still fit to fulfill his tenure and gave him sick leave. Virgil completed his R&R upon the invasion, and was immediately requested for his medical and combat experience to act as the medical officer in the upcoming operation.

Kokkaku: That story doesn't work at all, I know I didn't provide backstory guidelines but there's no reason the Gunslingers would leave him alive, let alone train him like that. Exusia already has a bunch of covert special forces soldiers, they call them Gunslingers. While the Gunslingers are somewhat opportunistic in recruitment, the vast vast VAST majority of them come from noble families and having any sort of criminal record would certainly bar you from admission. Lowborn Gunslingers exist but in this time period would be exceptionally rare/nonexistent. Ares (about 30 years from now, not the same Ares mentioned in the opening post of the RP) is the first Lowborn Gunslinger of any real import.

And Sinclair doesn't make SMGs. They do precision weapons only (revolvers, sniper rifles). They might do prototypes of automatic weapons if a Gunslinger asked really nicely (they do one-off prototypes occasionally) but it's very uncommon. Throwing knives in this day and age would be pretty useless as well and Sig P226s don't exist (I have a ban on real weapons because the last time I didn't specify that everyone was saying "I have a Jericho 941 because Cowboy Bebop" and that made me unhappy).

I have several paragraphs more of problems with that character but I think I've said enough already. I would be happy to help you come up with an acceptable backstory (I would recommend you do the exact opposite of anything you've seen in an anime, for starters).

Cutch: No lightsabers. Sorry but there's no laser weapons on anything outside of capital ships barring some experimental prototypes in individual laser weaponry that are not practical for field use. Otherwise you're good to go.

Kokkaku Kishu

Thanks for the heads up. I redid my char's backstory, and eliminated extinct/non-viable weapons


Paintcheck

Yeah that will work. Gunslingers usually don't go by their real names (there's nothing that says they cant, but the vast majority use their Gunslinger names which are based in Greek mythology). You don't have to do that if you don't want. Also Gunslingers don't have military units, they are like the Jedi from Star Wars or the SPECTREs from Mass Effect, going where they need to and cooping military units as needed. But close enough.

#22
Name: Damond Richards

Ages: 35

Appearance: 6'0 with a few scars. He looks around 50 and has a worn face. He has thick wirey graying black hair and sluglike eyebrows.

Role/Speciality/MOS: Infantry Rifleman / Civilian Pilot Licence (Forged)

Personal Gear (Because everyone loves gear porn):
DB-440 Combat Harness -- A lightweight harness with four slots for armor plating(1 front, 1 back, 1 each side). Though the metal plates have been used as salvage already. Its little more than a storage vest.
AME-Headprotector -- A lightweight helmet, it offers next to no protection and is more like a bike helmet than for combat.
Hephaestus Arms Damon Assault Rifle -- With 6 magazines.
A small metal box visible, painted pink, in his vest pocket.


Backstory (Doesn't need to be super in-depth, feel free to make up historical events):
He ended up peddling drugs to afford to use them after extended use. He was caught little over a year ago with a large haul and faced life in prison or a one way trip to the Dromedary Dropship.
