Okay, now some of you may remember a while ago I started the Sky Of Aces thread. Unfortunately, it kinda died due to a breakdown in communication between all involved. Anyway, I thought that it would be a good idea to do it again. So without further ado!

Never done MT...why not.

Character Name: Isaac Hill
Character Nationality: Setulanite
Character Rank: Captain
Character Squadron: Jolly Rodgers
Preffered Aircraft: Ideally an F-4J Phantom II, but that is a late 50's aircraft. Will change if necessary.
Short Bio: Born to a poor family, Hill earned himself a scholarship into the Setulan Air Force Academy on merit alone and graduated at the top of his class. Unfortunately, a habit of breaking rules for the sake of breaking them, coupled with an unfortunate tendency to to tell his superiors exactly what he thinks of them (and often where they can shove it) has kept this gutsy pilot from rising to command an airgroup, though he has managed to hold on to his squadron. Aged 26.

Well, strictly, it's not MT. But, yes you're accepted.

What do you normally do - FT?

Yeah. I've been thinking about writing a MT factbook, and however this goes down might help with the history.
And thanks, looking forward to it.

Right. I suppose you could put it into your factbook, although in the original it was set in the midst of an invasion, and the group were there in secret.

Your welcome. Feel free to contribute any ideas for the RP. I thought it would be better to let the players come up with an idea rather than set it out myself.

Then by all means, sign up!

You don't have to be invading this time, as i'm not yet decided if that is what will actually happen. As i said, feel free to contribute ideas for this.

All in due time, dear boy, all in due time. ;) Good RP's take planning.

Remember, as of now we don't have a setting or background for why the group would be forming. I have noted several times that I am open to suggestions.

Also, Kulikovia - are you still doing the Heroes RP?
