I was wondering if anybody might be interested in a boot camp training RP for the Jitanese military. It's a great deal like the novel "starship troopers". A participant would make up their own character and participate in the standard boot camp of a regular forces infantry division, as the RP goes on, he might transfer to Space Marines, or Mecha Infantry or Spec Ops, it can really go pretty much anywere. So sign up here if you're interested or Telegram me for more information.

Name: Instructing Sergeant James Delont
Height: 6'0
Weight: 220 lbs
Age: 31
Intruction level: regular infantry
Specialties: hand to hand combat, long range sniper

I might well be, make a change from fighting with a claymore........
TG the details would you please?

check tg's

bump for anyone else

Yeah go on then.
I'm always up for something new. (Will have to play a very rookie rookie though until I find my feet) ;)

Will try and get another couple of people interested as well.

You can post your character on this thread, I'll make a new one for the actual RP

Ok here goes:

Name: Coryn Corax
(known as Raven to her friends)

Sex: Female
Height: 6'0
Weight: 180 lbs
Age: 18

Basic description:
Tall, well built.
Dark blue black hair worn long, vivid green eyes and pail skin.
Even though she is a daughter of a farmer, she has scored high grades and is inteligent and quick witted.
Has little or no weapons training.

I'll join in.

Name: Special Forces Ondrea Di Lorenzi
Height: 5"9
Weight: 140 lbs
Age: 18
Intruction level: specialized infantry
Specialties: stealth combat, long/short range sniper.

Description:

Medium size, brown hair and eyes.
Daughter of a long line of snipers.

I might be interested. If you could TG me the details...

A couple of things first, since you mention Mecha, I assume this is FT? And I can only send one recruit right? Not that I necessarily would send two, but I might if the oppotunity is there. And do they have to be human?

I might be interested. If you could TG me the details...

What that guy said.

Name:Casa Que

Sex:Male
Height:5'8
Weight:153
Age:23

Basic description:An expert in Knife and, to some extent, Pistol combat.

Average Hight, Thin, One Eye, Head partly covered in Bandages.

His father, a Special Ops commander, taught Casa a variety of knife combat styles and pistoling.

since there's a little demand, I'll post a few things

Basically what it is, is a military training RP, very future tech, that's what I'm heavily in to. Now it can be a citizen of Jitano if you'd like, or your countries citizen who has been sent for our training

http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=326554

That is the thread for my tech store front, if you want to familiarize yourself with some of the technology. If you want to send a nonhuman, that's fine with me, and if you think you can RP two characters at once then go ahead

Please specify whether or not your character is a Jitanese Citizen or an outside resource.

Okay. I'm going to give two characters a go, if I can't do it well enough, I'll drop one, there's a loophole for me to do so if necessary. They are non-human, but appear to be be human (It's in my factbook, in my sig, under Matrai).

Character 1
Name: Robert Kane
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Appearance: Height 6'3", weight 175 lbs, blond hair, brown eyes, very pale whitish skin, well built.
Other: Has basic light weapons training, has a brother in my Special Forces, wants to be same.

Character 2
Name: Alex Sylvero
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Appearance: Height 5'9", weight 135 lbs, brown hair, grey eyes, very pale whitish skin, slender.
Other: Has rudimentary pistol training, but has never used a rifle. Has a pilot's qualification and would prefer a piloting assignment if possible.

Both are Indoan citizens, who have never left the planet before. Both have neural implants, and both have mild precognitive abilities. Okay?

Name: Mike Monjoi
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Appearance: 5'6", brown hair, hazel eyes, average body.
Other: He's a East Lithuanian sent by Dictator Scharfetter to see the differances in our ways of training. He specializes in assult rifles and sword & hand-to-hand combat

This looks promising... I'd prefer to use a character from my own race, but being seriously nonhuman (http://ns.goobergunch.net/wiki/index.php/Wyrm), they might not be accepted into the training program.

Can I use a character of this race? He can provide equipment suited to his body type, so there's no need for expensive customization of your systems.

I honestly wouldn't know how to train him.

Thanks to everyone else for entering, I'll start either today or tommorow and post the link here.

Ah, well. I'll take a look at the thread when it opens anyway.

Jitano, when is this starting?

Today, you can still sign up though

OOOO.....good oh, mind you I'm away from Thursday till tuesday, so Raven may have to have leave already!

On Jitano's behalf, for those that haven't found it yet, and are still interested, here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=414810) is the RP thread.

Will be with you Tuesday guys, for now I am off to hit daemons and living dead and all sorts of other nasty things at a live role play event! :p
(Oh and probably die horribly as well) :(

Has basic conscript training with small arms and assault weapons. Regarded as fairly average by his superiors, he is eager to please and make himself well thought off.

Valkyrja: Devastation at Curious Pastimes?

My character:

Identity
Name: Lowdbang Kersplode
Species: Goblin
Subspecies: Cunnin'un

Origin
Nationality: Combined Goblin Collective
System of origin: Da Hot Playze (binary star system)
Planet of origin: Hotwurld

Physical attributes
Height: 2'9"
Skin colour: Pale green
Eye colour: Bright blue
Hair colour: Bright purple slashed with yellow
Facial hair: None
Distinguishing features: He's less that three feet tall, green, and has horribly clashing hair colour....kind of hard to miss, really.

Abilities
Weaponry: Unknown, claims he is good at wielding guns because he "missed da boss-sargent fing" back home. Occassionally makes "Dakka dakka" noises. Probably not a good idea to give him a gun
Vehicles: Cannot reach the pedals
Other military: Extremely good with explosives, manages to get the hang of a form of donating device within a couple of minutes and seems to be excellent at placing and using them. Quite possibly the only useful thing he can do. Talks in his sleep about "blowin' up da howl wurld" and "Kersploding evererereryfink".
"Sneeky Stuff": Claims to be reasonably good at sneaking around and sometimes even manages it....when he can be persuaded to remove the numerous shiny bits of metal shoved through his skin, and to cover his hair.
Recreational: Can drink anyone under the table, as Goblins actually need alcohol to survive they have been drinking it since birth/spawning/whatever the hell it is Goblins do and have built up resistances. Tends to go hyper after a drinking binge (Nebula Goblins convert alcohol into direct chemical energy...many Goblins have survived solely on their private alchohol stashes after their boat sank or plane crashed).

No it's not too late to sign up, and a Jitanese Training company generally consists of about 140 recruits, with about 30% dropout rate.

All the entries look great so far, really original

[QUOTE=Newbish Delight]Valkyrja: Devastation at Curious Pastimes?

Nope....

LT sanctioned event, Unicorn faction.
Back battered and brused and so hyped I can't sleep! :D

Ack!

Well, this looks...interesting, I suppose. Pity I'm undoubtedly way too late...but that -is- the natural way of things.

If it -isn't- too late...I'd consider a young-ish Mercenary type who's decided to do some-sort-of-cross-training-thingy-I-dunno. Yeah. plot device. plot device. plot device.

Anyways, lessay something like...

Name: Calderan "Cal" McRae
Age: ...irrelevant.
Species: Halfling-Ascended
Employer: Captain Dayne White, The White Company.
Rank: Leftenant (2nd) (Newly Commissioned)

Physicals:
About six foot one, call it 160 s.pounds. Brown hair, silver eyes. The usual revenian build (that is muscular.) Supremacy-level competitive distance runner.

Personals:
Not exactly the perfect soldier. Very succeptible to the charms of women, to put it...nicely. Also a Journeyman in the ways of the Fhellant'im. (3rd circle.)

Skills: proficient in operations in powered armor, piloting light air-cushion vehicles, basic and advanced marksmanship, sword-fighting (Fhellanti), Martial Arts (Fhellanti Unarmed,) and running very far, very fast.

Combat Experience: Very light (this is from the Revenian point of view.) two "punitive" actions in support of Special Unit on Horatria. Took part in a number of clean-up operations in and around Vryss. Has killed three times. Has yet to kill at a distance. One kill was made by breaking somebodies neck with his rifle stock, the second was with his bayonet, the third was with his bare hands.

Now...what Cal is, is a kid. A very young kid. In Revenian thinking, he's about eighteen. He's seen very little action, and -no- actual "real" combat...again, this is Revenian thinking.

He's very easily intimidated by individuals in positions of authority, -especially- veteran non-coms. Because he's Revenian. Also because he's an officer in a family of senior non-coms. He grew up knowing that his father could literally break people in half and that he didn't ask mommy about her day at work because the Warprince says the she can't talk about it.

blah-blah-blah-whatever.

Teh Rev, Out.

It's fine, the company still has a huge number of faceless individuals, soyou could go by without being noticed, I had intended to have the RPers form a core group of friends within the company anyway, leaving off the faceless mass

]On that note, if you don't mind another entrant...[


Name: Kysanuillion vys-T'sudarian kei-Rose vian’l-Onarrá
Gender: Male
Age: 548 Onarrán-standard years (One Onarrán-standard year: 1.2 Terran-standard years)
Species: Onarrán (Onarrím Eledhel: Homo Curetes Alfar)
Ranks (at home): Citizen-Baronet, Warcraft Sub-Commander, Scion of Rose

Eyes: Pure Iris (no discernable pupil or white): Green
Hair: Bronze
Build: Slender
Skin tone: Tanned, bronzish skin with slight reddish tinge typical of the House of Rose

Military Experience:
Astral combat: Dyrnai Wars and H'jethrin Conquest, receiving distinctions for his Reaver Pack's successful severence of Dyrnai supply lines.
Infantry: Extremely minor: Minor ground combat during H'jethrin Conquest with support, acting primarily as a representative of his House rather than as a soldier.

Personal Notes:
Very confident, with a good idea of discipline and lines of authority. Mostly because he will, as a Scion of Rose (single most influential house in the Parliament of Flowers and High Conclave of Wards), one day be commanding a sizeable portion of the Onarrán military.
Very keen on art and literature, as with most of his race. Very good at painting and drawing, tends to carry a small set of pencils and a roll of paper with him for when he gets bored.
Generally friendly, if sometimes a bit rash.

Skills and abilities:
Artistic talent: amazing, but not really fantastically useful.
Close-quarter combat: very talented and able at the Onarrán martial arts, having been trained since childhood (as is fitting for a nobleman). Not good at things like boxing, as his body is more used to the Onarrán methodology of war, involving misdirection and speed rather than raw strength.
Ranged combat: Satisfactory, not excellent. Relies too much on Onarrán Warsuit technology.

]I think that's about it. Will edit as other stuff becomes important/once I've thought about something[
