Name: Nexlon
Gender: Male
Height: 5'10
Apperance: His black collered shirt, slacks, and shoes match his hair; an armored vest protects his body. Nexlon wears a spiral mask to hide his features.

Weapon(s): Nexlon carries a Gravitational Beam Emitter, a highly dangerous and coveted weapon. The gun, closely resembling a pistol, fires a highly condensed bullet of energy that causes huge amounts of damage to anything in touches. The GBE has draws on it's user's energy for power; as long as the user has energy to spare, the gun can shoot. Even a single shot, however, uses a large amount of human energy. The gun is not without drawbacks, however. The GBE can rarely be used in space, seeing as how more than one beam will almost certianly destroy the hull of any ship. It is unknow how Nexlon got such a weapon.

Other Weapons: Reports suggest that Nexlon carries several concealed weapons in his clothes; it is known that he carries a pair of hidden machineguns and a machete for close combat, or for when he is unable to use the GBE. He is supposedly a decent hand-to-hand fighter as well.

Personality: An Enigma. Not much is known about Nexlon other than the fact that he is a space drifter. He usually remains silent in just about any conversation, and is cold and distant from most everyone who comes across him. As for Nexlon's aims and goals, No one is certian.

Ship:Nexlon flies The LightWave Frigate, an extremely advanced piece of Ravean technology. In addition to it's advanced shields that absorb or deflect most energy weapons and it's large stockpile of weapons that includes Torpedoes, Missiles, Mines, Railguns, and a powerful laser, the LightWave is installed with an extremely intelligent AI named Eve, who can effectively pilot the ship by herself in need be.

Nistolonia
17-09-2005, 00:57
Ethelian Me'thelion
Gender: Male
Height: 6'3"
Appearance: Typical Nistolonian. Good looking, purple skinned, pointy ears, cats eyes. Well muscled in a sleek kind of way. Black Hair. Wears a Nistolonian Leaf Shadowsuit and camo-cloak. (the suit looks something like this (http://us.games-workshop.com/games/warhammer/woodelves/extras/art/popup.htm?images/3.jpg) )
Weapons: Nistolonian Issue Pulse rife (Shadowlance). Fires energised particles at extremly high speeds. Silenced. Includes barrel extention for long range fire (and powerful scope) and underslung grenade launcher which fires monofiliment grenades. (Contain long strands of monofiliment which rapidly eviserate anything nearby, personal armour is useless, but thick metal and rock causes the monofiliment to degreade and fall apart.) Has a pistol o the same type, minus the grenades.
Painblade. (Longsword that disrupts the nervous system, causing unbearable pain. Causes shock and paralysis in most humaniods)
Combat Knife.

Personality: Quiet and reserved. What could generally be called a "good guy" personality, if you discount his complete lack of honor and fair fights.

Ship: Customizied Adder Gunboat (http://www.3drt.com/3dm/free/f01-1.jpg) (Th'hassa). About 35 meters in length, it is still incredibly manuverable, due to light armour and powerful engines. It is equiped with a Shadowfield, which disrupts sensors, impairs visual targeting, reduces heat signature and prevents conventional missile locks. However, this means that Th'hassa, as with all Nistolonian ships, has very litte actual energy shields. Armed with two foward firing EMP pulse cannons (i'm assuming you know what they do, disable shields, weapons, computers), 4 forward firing Shadowcannons (Same principle as above), two Fang missile tubes, containing monofiliment missiles, EMP missiles, and high explosive missiles. Also includes two (top and bottom) turrets, with shadowcannons on them. These are typicly computer controled. The ship also has a Hydra jetbike (Armed with light EMP cannon and light Shadowcannon)

Additional Nistolonians (no more then two) may show up later.
EDIT:
As with all Nistolonians, Ethelian's parents were given a strain of the Fe'nela drug. This steriod, with components taken from animal DNA, increases muscle strength to high levels without increasing body mass, enhances reflexes and grants superior use of the five senses. It also causes a few minor side effects, including eyes that glow white, though not enough to be a light source or even to be visible in the dark, it is still strange to non-Nistolonians. It also gives Ethelian slight animalistic behavior, including sitting quite still in the manner of cats and snakes, watching small birds and mammals as if he were hunting them, and an increase in the size of his upper and lower canines.

Name/Title: Commander Jack Felton
Gender: Male
height: 5'2"
Ships: Captain of the CS-347 (http://www.the-chaos-crew.com/swrpg/pics/ships/battleship.gif) (My ships don't have names, they have codenames)
Weapon: Commander Jack Felton carries a MD-138 blaster pistol, which is the common side-arm for all forces of the Confederacy of Commandia. He also has two thermal detonators located in his side pocket.
Personality: Quick and alert, can be calm but may spring into action whenever neccesary
NOTE: The CS-347 is a capital ship, heavily armed, and is ready for combat. On board the capital ship are 20raptors (http://www.theforce.net/swtc/Pix/chron/tieint.jpg), who wil be used for any small landings on any planet neccesary, while the CS will look for a large flat area to land. The crew of the CS-347 is 125 men, while only forty men will leave the ship at any time. More than forty men leaving normally means evacuation, in which self-destruct will be iniated, so the plans do not fall into enemy hands.

Grenduen Dress-Julo Hiflekt
Gender: Male
Height: 6'
Appearance: Image (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/Al-Imvadjah/NS-ground/Tkalgren.jpg)
Drab tan/green/gray skin with traditional Dress-Julo Clan ritual scarring and tatoos. Artificially elongated primfangs, surgically implanted Haffa Bird feather headdress to signify his position as warrior-priest. For armor he wears only a traditoinal bronze/wood wicker breastplate, along with matching upper arm guards and greaves. Around his neck hang a ceremonial necklace and a translator. He also wears a utility harness, which has a personal sheild generator and a personal AI assitant, as well a various traditional and modern weapons.

Weapons:
T-4 Railrifle, a semi-automatic weapon with an 18 round clip of 25.4mm (1inch) by 89mm (3.5in) projectiles.
2 sets of Combat Blades: Traditional blades won in a contest fourteen years ago. These were forged during the early years of the Civil War, and are rumored to be worth a million TSD. He also has a modern pair, which feature energy sheaths and small lasers. Both are honed to razor-sharpness.
Poison Dartgun: self explanitory.
Jaffa Spear: Mainly for ceremonial use, it is very old, though still strong enough for colse-combat use. Visually similar to a Zulu spear.

Ship: Custom fighter, seen here (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v502/Al-Imvadjah/NS-fighters/Asa.jpg) flying with an identical fighter ordered by his now-deceased borther. Very heavily armed and armored, its frigate-grade engine system allows it to still outperform smaller fighters, though at very high cost. When he ordered it, the base price was well over a billion TSD, and he has never disclosed the added price of his upgrades.

Name/Title:Lieutenant Richard Dwayne
Gender: Male
Height: 5'5''
Personality: Calm and focused
Ships: Captain of the SD-127 (http://graphics.ucsd.edu/~wjarosz/images/tie-d1.jpg), an assault ship based on the concept of the raptor, exepct much, much larger.
Weapons: The Lieutenant carries a SG-789 shotgun, which fires 10 bolts, deadly at close range. He also has the standard MD-138 blaster pistol. For close quarters combat, he may also use a small nergy blade, running on electrcal power. He carries two thermal detonators.
NOTE: The SD-127 is heavily armed, and considered a drop ship as much as an assault ship. It carries 200 men, and most of them will be sropped whenever neccesary.
OOC: If you think i am bringing too large of a fighting force, please tell me and i will cut it down.

(Assuming this is still open)

Name: Jack Pallan

Age: 33

Gender: Male

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 296 lbs

Appearance: Toned but not exactly muscular, wears grey T-Shirt, black BDU pants, and a trenchcoat. Dark blue eyes, brown hair. Wears a cast on his left arm from the elbow to the fingertips.

Personality: Cynicall, determined and observant. Has a serious lack of moral values, and measures the success of anything by its profit.

Ship: Custom Fighter, the Galeus (http://mapgames.7.com1.ru/homeplanet/images/ships/piranha.jpg) . Armed with two Forward Plasma Cannons, one Rear Plasma Turret.

Weapons: One monomolecular bladed dagger, 11" long and Energy Field Assisted. Two customised high-caliber conventional projectile handguns; with 24 rounds per clip, flash/sound suppressors, capable of fully automatic firing. Is rumoured to own a 'Gauntlet' wrist mounted multi-weapon which has a flamethrower, two light plasma cannons and dart launcher.

Bio: Jack Pallan had been an inch too short to join his home-planets police force, and was subsequently rejected on two occasions. He had then set his numerous talents towards breaking the law. His first criminal act was to break into his local police station and steal their radio equipment and some weapons; which were later sold for enough money to buy a ship. For a while he has rented his talents to mobsters, corporations and even law enforcement alike to build an impressive personal fortune. However, things turned around when his contacts wooden leg turned out to be a grafted blaster and everyone in the bar was actually an undercover. Jack had barely escaped with his life but lost his fortune in the incident, and has since been rebuilding his fortune by stealing anything that isnt nailed down and bringing a crowbar to steal the stuff that is. He is now leaning towards a career in Bounty Hunting, but with such a large price on his head he would have to avoid partners of all types.

Thanks Burnsian, and sorry that you can't join us.

Also, commandia, nice profile, except for one thing; isn't that ship a bit too big?

Well, the capital ships are supposed to be big, but, i can reduce the number of people in the drop ship if you want. The drop ship is 1/4 the size of the capital shp, and the capital ship (Think the droid battleships from Star Wars 1)

If you have friends or know anyone that likes small group rps, then send them a link to this thread!
Sonaj
20-09-2005, 20:26
Three Sonaians, if I'm OK'eyed. The team travels together at all times, so only one ship, and the leader will have an extra set of arms (common in Sonaj), if that's ok. Otherwise I'll remove them. Also, I borrowed Obsideo's chart to make it easier.

Ship: A three-seated fighter, with mostly defensive capabilities as the group isn't expecting spacebattles. It's armed with a pair of lasercannons in the front and a turret on the roof, though they do not deal much damage. The shields, on the other hand, are stronger than most ships this size, and lets them get away from battles before they even start.

Name: Arcanus (Leader of the group)

Age: Exact age unknown, appears to be mid-twenties

Gender: Male

Height: 5'9"

Weight: Roughly 140 lbs

Appearance: Sleek body, with near pitch black skin. The arms and face are heavily scarred. Have four arms, which makes him a Class A Sonaian.

Personality: Calm, but very cautious and always alert, he literally sleeps with a gun under his pillow. Does not trust anyone or anything but clients and money, very cynical and isn't really bothered by killing, only killing for no purpose at all. A natural born leader, though he leads y instilling fear into his followers.

Weapons: Two daggers containing vials with a highly lethal toxin to be either extracted upon the blade or poured into a target's outh. A pair of specialized laser-based pistosl, capable of getting through many kinds of armor, some thinner and weaker walls, and the likes. Range is not very far: Lethal shot against most armors is possible within fifteen yards, though they can give a nasty injury at greater distances. They are also heavily silenced, to ensure it's effectiveness as an assassins weapon.

Bio: Leader of the assault team, Arcanus is not to be taken lightly: He is quite deadly, and killing means nothing to him. An experienced spy and assassin, he will work for anyone with enough cash and a good enough target. He has become adept at hiding and maining out of sight, letting him often go unnoticed to his targets. Usually conscripted by the Empire itself, he is now acting upon the orders of someone unknown to him. The pay promised, and the advance recieved, guarantees his loyalty though.


Name: Destructoria

Age: Approx. mid thirties

Gender: Male

Height: 6'4"

Weight: Roughly 210 lbs

Appearance: Tanned skin covers a body of bulging muscles; Destructoria is a pure strength-machine. A fairly handsome face, had it not been for the large scar on his right cheek.

Personality: Aggressive, Destructoria, unlike Arcanus, wants to kill, and is very bloodthirsty. Only the fear of Arcanus keeps him in his place.

Weapons: A pair of high-powered laser-based pistols, more powerful and more conspicuos than Arcanus'. Also has a plasma rifle, though smaller than the 'real deal', and equally less powerful.

Bio: Having grown up on the streets of Sonaj City, Destructoria now lives for the profit. Money is all that matters to this killing machine, and his skill for brutal though masked hits have made him quite popular among CEO's and fanatical sportsfans alike. No exact number on his kills exist, though they're estimated to be among the highest of all Sonaian assassins, though surpassed greatly by Arcanus.


Name: Shias

Age: Approx. 30

Gender: Male

Height: 5'6"

Weight: 120 lbs

Appearance: White-skinned, with pretty much no scars or distinguishing features. The face is flat, with a pair of grey, intelligent eyes.

Personality: Usually seen as afraid of confrontations, this is what has made Shias such a great spy: Whenever danger lurks he quickly escapes. He is intelligent, and loathes brute strength for the inefficiency he sees it as. He is somewhat paranoid, especially around stronger people, and keeps a waking eye on all happenings that might concern him

Weapons: A light, laser-based pair of pistols, though he rarely use them.

Bio: One of the best spies around in Sonaj, Shias is somewhat of a pacifist. He refuses to kill anyone that isn't completely neccessary, as he sees it as crude and uncivilized, though he can also get the urge for killing Destructoria lives with every day. Around his teammates, he accepts the neccessity of armament at all times, though his paranoia keeps him on his toes, constantly half-expecting one of them to shoot him every time he sees them with a gun. This paranois isn't completely unbased: He is wanted for many of his early, rather sloppy hits.

Edit:OOC: Oops, forgot the armor and clothing.

IC: All of them are dressed in similar clothes: Fireproof robes strengthened by strings of a very resistant mineral to stop melee-wounds, though against pistols and rifles they often do slight difference. Every once in a while, a bolt will it a string though, and the wearer will only get smaller injuries.

Is this still open?

Character: Zilven Glitar

Age: Unknown. Little is known about his past before he took the name he now uses, about 11 years ago.

Gender: Male

Height: About 5'8"

Weight: Unknown; slender build.

Appearance: He dresses in flowing garb of gold and a silver cloak; he wears a golden helmet with a silver visor, and his boots, belt, and gloves are silver with gold decorations.

Personality: Generally quiet, but capable of flamboyant behavior when he chooses. He tries to avoid letting emotion control him, but has a dangerous temper if pushed to far. He is honorable and respects those with high moral/ethical standards, but is always interested in making money.

Weapons & armor: He possesses a strange set of ancient Yamiri gear, generally reffered to as the Gold and Silver. It looks like odd, but unexceptional clothing, but is actually extremely effective power armor. With it comes a pair of highly adaptable energy weapons, capable of functioning very well both in ranged and hand-to-hand combat. Legend speaks of other, similar sets, hidden somewhere on Yamir.

Ship: Goldenrod, a highly modified Kendaryn heavy fighter with distinctive gold-tinted armor.

Glitar is known to employ three other mercenaries.

((Does this character sound all right?))

Also, just so you know, I will be rp'ing several minor and major characters within the Rp. You've already read about one of them, a pirate mage, and some other forces. I will off course allow for them to die off pretty easy as it goes, and I will discuss with you if for some reason I find that one of my characters is in a position to kill yours.

Characters that I have thus far introduced...
So far, you all have seen Alcondas, who is a mage pirate from a fairly large and powerful pirate guild. Alcondas however is not his real name, he is mearly named after the planet inwhich the leader of the pirate guild found him on.

The guild itself is in control of one man. Lord Hazonko. He is the most powerful Neo-Tao Magic user of the pirate guild. He himself taught Alcondas a few spells.

Few have ever faced Hazonko and lived, those who have usually join him, until he finds a means to end their life without stressing himself. Be wary when facing him.

I'm writing in a quasi-self-narration style-I'm trying to express Nexlon more through action than dialouge. I have no Idea why.

Also, watch out for Kimura again; I'm thinking he might pop up somewhere in a new body. Damn cyborgs.
