OOC:/Sign up "The school of modern warfare"

Hello all, It's been a LONG long time since I've RP'ed, and I thought I kick off the dust with an RP based around my nations school system

The school system kidnaps kids at a young age, about 4-6, and oppresively teaches them ways of war. Much like USMC bootcamp, only far harsher.

If you want to join, let me know. My country is on the verge of PMT and MT, genetic engineering is very experimental, but if you want it you can talk to me about it.

I plan on starting this sometime around thursday or friday, whenever I get my laptop.

If you're interested post here, with a name, and a vauge description of what the fully grown character will look like, I have very inconsistant internet access at the moment, but I will post when I can.

Hey, I remember this RP.

I'll tag up for now and see if I want to get a character in.

Welcome back.
Is this the third incarnation?
Either way, I'm interested.

I don't even know what number this is, but I know it's more than number three. BTW I got my laptop.

Chars from last time:

Name: Brad Telkini
Age: 5
Skin: White though very tan
Eyes: Jet Black
Hair: Dirty Blond, short hair
Height: Average
Weight: Slightly above average (just slightly)
Personality & Attributes: Full of energy, Brad rarely sits still and is almost always doing something. He is quite outgoing and friendly; that is unless he feels the need to defend his twin sister Samantha, which he does vigourously.
GenEng: Faster reflexes, enhanced muscles, though he suffers from ADHD and occasional sleeping disorders.


Name: Samantha Telkini
Age: 5
Skin: White though very tan
Eyes: blue
Hair: Dirty Blond, pony tail
Height: Average
Weight: Slightly below average (just slightly)
Personality & Attributes: Cool, calm, and collected, Samantha was always the quieter of the two (though it wasn't hard with Brad as her twin brother). She is shy, especially around strangers and doesn't speak all that often. She was often found in her room playing quietly alone.
GenEng: None

So I see. I kinda ran into laptop problems, so I don't have the access I had earlier this week, so I'm gonna hold off on starting this for a little bit until my laptop problem is resolved.

As for Snafturi, I just realized that I recognize your nation, and would have no problem RP'ing with you.

I'm in.

Name: Kast Dromatas
Age: 6
Skin: Greek-ish complexion
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown
Height: Short
Weight: Average
Personality & Attributes: Shy but likable if you get to know him. A voracious reader who will read almost anything. Nervous of his own potential. Loyal.
IQ: 135
GenEng: Speculated. He reads far beyond his grade level, but his parents deny any engineering. Both his parents are also of above-average intelligence, so who knows?
Nation of Fortune
20-05-2007, 22:42
I'm in.
~snip~

Age doesn't really apply in this, because it will change throughout the RP. And he will join the school at age four, maybe three. Trust me, it matters.

DN, sure, it sounds good.
DMG
20-05-2007, 23:54
Alright... ignore my ages too then.
Draconis Nightcrawlis

Yay get to use Nemo again
Maybe he'll say more than one word through the whole RP this time :D

Name: 'Nemo' (Latin for Nobody)
Race: Draconian
Gender: Male
Hair: Dark green
Eyes: Dark blue
Skin: Pale
Personality: A quiet orphan, though foul mouthed when he speaks. He's bright, good at observations.

Name: Ossal Shen'd
Gender: Male
Skin: Pale
Eyes: White
Hair: Ash blond
Height: Short
Weight: Skinny
Personality: Cynical, sarcastic, and generally fairly asocial. Most who interact with him find him creepy and weird
GenEng: Unknown due to the fact that he was found on the street with no reports of being missing. Believed so, but unknown as to nature.

Having gone through USMC bootcamp has put a different perspective on my views of this. You've still been kidnapped, but the RP'ing of the kidnapping usually takes too long, and accomplishes way too little. Besides, I have a few new surprises and torturous tricks up my sleeve.

Too late to sign up? If so, kindly disregard.

Name: Cyriah
Race: Gaelic
Gender: Female
Hair: Raven
Eyes: Steel green
Skin: Pale
Personality: Aloof and somewhat skittish, but a fighter by blood.

This is how I view her personality at the onset. Training of this sort will undoubtedly change it, predicatbly by hardening her, but I'd like to see what evolves naturally.

No problem at all. I've let people in pretty far into previous "schools" so I don't see why I'd have a problem. Besides, you sold me with the Gaelic part, my roots run deep with the Gaelic.

Krowe was fun, but way too unreliable. She kept moving, and it was hard for her to post, but it was always superb quality

Aye, and she started an RP that was really fun, but then it slowly died when she went missing...

What I'm looking for is a basic military formation with a four man front and a guide in front
Gaeltach
27-05-2007, 21:06
So at the risk of getting too technical, all you had to specify was column formation, with 4 elements. :D

edit: er.. or line formation based on your description?
DMG
28-05-2007, 04:21
Wait, the IC description makes it sound like a single-file line.

Put Ernine in a spot, then put four students behind her, and then orders the others to get behind them.

I'm thinking she's intended to be the guide-on bearer, and the others lined up abreast behind her as element leaders.

Gael, I hope you don't mind, I kind of took your character from the formation without really giving you a chance to do anything about, I felt my post would flow so much better if I did it that way. It's still open for you RP that you are taken out of the formation, thats why I more or less didn't really say anything about it in my IC post.

To All: If you want a squad leader position, feel free to take it from the NPC's. All of them are going to be fired after they finish getting fucked up.
DMG
03-06-2007, 19:30
Heheh... Brad may step into one.

Also, I don't mind if you want to control my character for a post. It's all good with me.

When you say "take it," do you mean just insert our characters where the SLs are, or like ICly take the leadership role later.

Right now, it doesn't really matter, but later it will have to be IC'ly

[OOC: The thread title had me thinking it was about learning military tactics, an area in which I'm fairly weak.

Would it be possible for me to send an eight or so year old kid in who's been convicted in juvenile court and sentenced to military school?]
DMG
02-07-2007, 02:04
(This is the OOC thread)

I think all of our characters are actually people from NoF. The way his nation works is that they kidnap kids and raise them to be in the military - I believe.

Up to NoF tho, if ever gets on.

Between Compusa's crappy customer support, my rampant military lifestyle, and my working on getting a girlfriend, I have had very little computer access. Usually when I log on, as of late, it's just a short check to see what you guy's posted and to think of a response for when I have a chance to make a good post. I haven't forgotten, it's just been difficult to get on.

As for Kahanistan, if you knock the age down a few years, I'm usually up for negotiation. Hell, DMG and a few others may remember Kroe, and how I always let her join with her own characters.

I have been pretty rushed in posting, especially since I hate people watching what I write, but since I just got my laptop back from the whore that is Compusa I shouldn't have that problem anymore. They had to replace the motherboard apparently. I will refrain from posting tonight because i will be rushed, and have much more time friday. I go to the field tommorow, so don't expect any posting until friday.

Hey, since you've lost a few members would it be ok if I joined in? I've a pretty good idea as to how I could work my character into this mess. If not, oh well, there are other rp's.

Name: Axel
Age: 6yrs 7months
Eyes: grey
Hair: a dirty sun bleached brown blonde, very long and shaggy, never been cut in his life.
Skin: very tan from the desert sun.
Description: Axel is an especially resourceful child, he always figures out a way to work something out of nothing. He's survived on the edge of the desert with his drunkard, gun nut uncle for many 5 years. He has already fired numerous rounds from guns. He spends very little time outside and has little idea of a nation much less a globe because of his stagnated position in the desert.
