I had this rp idea for a while, and actually played it a bit before the thread died. Basically, it'd be focusing on a SOF team onboard a Federation starship. The idea is like the game Elite Force, where the Fed. created a special forces branch. Lemme know what you all think.

This is a basic info sheet:

name:
race (human, Klingon, Bolian, Betazoid, Vulcan, Andorian, Bajoran, Ferengi, Trill or *hybrid):
Age:
hair(if applicable):
eyes:
Expertise:
personality:
short bio:

Main weapons of use will be:
Type-3 Phaser (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Type_3_phaser)
Compression Phaser Rifle (Type III) (http://www.phasers.net/2370/type3abr.htm)
Type-2 Phaser (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Type_2_phaser)
TR-116 Rifle (http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/TR-116)

*if a hybrid, mention which parent is which( ex. mother is klingon, father is human)

you do know the rule a thread has to be about NS right

name: Daniel Clark
race: Human
Age: 29
hair(if applicable): Brown
eyes: Blue
Expertise: Well trained in Varoius forms of Martiel arts from around the Quadrant, also tends to be a good judge of character.
personality: Friendly, but if you get on the wrong side of him you had better be careful
short bio: Daniel dosn't know his parents, as he was abandoned after birth, a rare thing in these times. Luck was on his side however and he was found by a Starfleet Cadet who was walking around San Frasisco. The Cadet took him back to the Academy and a Instructer took him to one of the Orphages. Dispite the hardship in his early years Daniel excedded expectations and did very well in school he also got adopted by A Lt Steve Canon and his wife Lt Mary Canon both Starfleet Officers. When he got old enough he decieded join StarFleet. He went to the Academy and was taught by the same Instructer who had sent him to the orpahaige over a decade before. He chose to do Security as his major but he took a minor in Command as well. He also took short courses in engineering. He Graduated at the top of class in Security and top in Command.

you do know the rule a thread has to be about NS right
oh, crap you're right...i suppose i could host it on an offsite forum.

here's the site: http://fallenangel.createforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=159

post your info here, if that's permissive, and sign-up on the other forum...

I've signed up on that forum

I'd like to join, as long as I'm not expected to post regularily. I'm just pretty busy with university right now (exam time), so I won't always have time to post.

If that's a problem, I'll see if this is still going in June.;)

Thanks battle. And Romulan, I'm pretty busy w/ exams too atm, so that's fine.

also, by 'expertise' i meant; explosives, CQB, surveillance, espionage etc...

sorry for not making that clearer.

Ok then. Here's my character. Some changes may occure, but this is the basic idea.

Name: Kor.

Race: Klingon.

Age: 85.

Hair: Black.

Eyes: Brown.

Rank: No official Star Fleet rank (if that's ok, their have been non-Star Fleet characters on the ships in the shows, and a Star Fleet rank wouldn't fit my character's backstory).

Expertese: Skilled with various Klingon blades, as well as historical human melee weapons. In battle however he favors a phaser rifel or pistol, believing that "swords are a poor substitute when the other son of a rabid targ has a phaser at 30 paces." Knows three languages (Vulcan, English, and Klingon), and is a student of military history.

Personality: A maverick if ever their was one, Kor has nothing but contempt for the more "absurd" Klingon traditions. He believe that in its obsession with the "warrior culture," the Empire has left itself weak and vulnerable. His attitudes have caused him much suffering over the course of his long life, leading to a certain bitterness and cynical attitude. However, he still loves his people and wants to restore the Klingon Empire to glory, and is loyal to his friends, to the death if need be. Even those who consider him a disgrace to the Klingon race have learned not to call him a coward.

Biography: The son of a Klingon laborer, he was born into an underrespected and underprivaleged class. However, he earned the respect of a minor Klingon Lord with his courage and honesty, and gained a possition in that nobel's personal guard. Over time, as his patron's fortunes grew, he became commander of the guard of one of the most powerful Klingon leaders. However, fortune eventually betrayed him, when his master was killed in battle with ledgendary Federation captain James T. Kirk.

Realizing that his master's obcession with honor had needlessly cost him the battle and his life, Kor became deeply disenchanted with the growing warrior culture. Demoted under his new master, he abandoned his post, returning to his roots as the son of a poor laborer and working in obscurity for several years. When he returned to the Klingon military, he sought to implement a variety of reforms. However, his heretical views resulted in a ten year prison sentence in a mining coloney.

No one knows how he survived those years, but when his sentence was up, he left the Empire, formally renouncing his Klingon citizen ship. He gathered a crew composed of various other outcasts and maveriks he had met over his lifetime, and worked for many years as a private merchent and mercenary. He briefly ran weapons for the Marquis, before abbandoning their cause in disgust over their terroristic tactics. During the Dominion War, he again took up arms running shipments of weapons and supplies to resistance groups on Dominion-occupied worlds. Over the course of the war, he successfully destroyed 3 Jem-Hadar ships and damaged 4 others, as well as killing 16 Jem-Hadar in personal combat. As a result of his actions, he was pardoned by General Martok at the request of the Federation, and his Klingon citizenship was returned.

Since the war, he has served as a guest speaker and advisor teaching martial arts, military history, and gurilla tactics at Star Fleet Academy. Now he has accepted an assignment as part of this new Federation special team.

Also, while its not listed in the weapons used, would you mind if my character carried one or two of those Klingon knives? Just in case anyone manages to get in to melee range, or he's facing a phaser-resistant enemy like the Borg.

name: Lt(jg) Aaron Berkley
race (human, Klingon, Bolian, Betazoid, Vulcan, Andorian, Bajoran, Ferengi, Trill or *hybrid): Human
Age: 25
hair(if applicable): Brown
eyes: Blue
Expertise: A specialist in long range sniping, Berkly can use any ranged weapon with ease, but prefers the Compression Phaser Rifle (Type III)
personality: Outgoing, hard to insult, but loves a fight.
short bio: Berkly's father was a captain in Starfleet, and his mother was a xenobiologist who traveled to several new planets to help in terraforming projects. Because of this, he has learned several languages (English, French, Spanish, Vulcan, Klingon, Romulan), and can speak them all fluently without the need of a universal translator. He graduated from Starfleet Academy with top honors in Command and Security courses.

name: Lt. (El-Tee) Derrick Vieter
race: Human/Bajoran (Father a member of Starfleet, mother a Bajoran refugee rescued during the Occupation)
Age: 21
hair(if applicable): Brown
eyes: Blue
Expertise: Covert operations/infiltration
personality: Cool and collected, spiritual and helpful
short bio: Derrick's parents met when his mother escaped Bajor during the Occupation by the Cardassians. His father was a science officer aboard the USS Starline, a surveyor ship. The vessel rescued her, which is how they met. During the Dominion War, Derrick enlisted in Starfleet to liberate his mother's homeworld once again from Cardassian rule. He joined the Starfleet Special Operations Command (SEALs) shortly thereafter.


This is my char, and will be the CO of the SpecOps team. Also, I have no control over approval for the board, so just be patient. go ahead and post an intro post when you can.

and romulan, that is acceptable. standard-issue is a K-bar, though.

Name: Athen
race: Vulcan
Age: 30
Hair: black
Eyes: brown
Expertise: Logistical and tactical operation planning
Personality: Typical Vulcan
Short bio: His past is a seceret, he never says anything about it exepct for the rare tid-bits he lets loose. All people know so far is that he never knew his parents.

accepted.

grr, something else i forgot. assign your chars rank. no one can be above Lt(jg).

Name: Khytos
Race:Hybrid: Mother Romulan. Father,Klingon
Age:51
Hair:Black
Experise:Helmsman,freighter;small squad tactics;medic
Personality:dislike for Klingons and Romulans due to outcast status
Short Bio:Born to a Romulan mother after a raid by Klingon marauders who overran his homeworld. Because of his mixed blood neither race would accept him, so he ran offworld and began working with an Independent trader and sometime Mercenary.

accepted. looks like an eclectic group.

okay, there's five members. one more to even out the squad/cast and we're ready. also, if anyone wants to add non-SpecOps guys lemme know (ie: ship crewmembers)

Might I ask what class ship this is?

sorry, it's an Akira-class.

OOC: Excellent

Not my favorite ship, but ok, I can work with it.

Not my favorite ship, but ok, I can work with it.

What's not to like about the Akira? A combination of missile cruiser and fighter carrier, its certainly not a conventional Star Fleet design, but in my opinion its one of the best.

I still prefer the Prometheus class

I still prefer the Prometheus class

Oh, the Prometheus would probably win a straight ship to ship exchange, and its faster, but it probably costs more too, and designing a ship that can break into three parts probably reduces structural integrity. Plus, I recall it as being kind of ugly, or at least not very remarkable in its appearence.;)

I think it looks amazing

Well, people have different tastes. If I were a Star Fleet Admiral, I would order the shipyards to spam Akiras.:)

Also, in case no one noticed the edit, is it ok if my character is not a Star Fleet officer? Their have been a fair few non-Star Fleet characters on board ships in the shows, and I'm not sure a Star Fleet rank would fit the backstory I wrote very well. Think of him as a consultant or foreign military advisor, though equivalent in rank to a Lt is fine.

If, however, that's a problem, I can make him Star Fleet or rewrite the character.

that actually sounds pretty good. let's make him a graduate of AQINSC (Alpha Quadrant Institute for Security Cooperation) and a conditional rank of Lieutenant.

Intrepid class as it the only one that don't look ugly to me

Couple of things, before I can post my character.
Are we going with cannon races of Star Trek, or can we go with non-cannon or even ones that havnt been created for the Star Trek universe?

Are there amy spec-ops places left, if not could I take head of security as in things like this, the ship always seems to get boarded.

wolf, since this is a warship and not a starship, security actually falls under the commander of the troop detachment...he'd be a major/colonel and you could rp him if you want.

we could use a demo expert.

If you don't mind could I RP the colonel incharge of the troops onboard the warship. Spec ops can always use conventional back up :tongue:

You never answered my other question...I am confined to Star Treck races or could I go with the standard race of my FT nation, Antrhomorphic Cannines (think a small race of them, considering the size of the ST univerese it wouldnt suprise me if the exist), only because I have always thouht they would look good in a starfleet uniform.

If it is Star Treck races I can just as easily be a human, otherwise I am set.

it's a off site Star Trek RP there for i say Star Trek Races seeing it's Not a NS RP

I was using my NS nation as an example not as the race background. Like I said I am fine with either.

so sorry for not answering it. i was studying for an eco quiz and didn't even notice i hadn't answered...but i digress

that works. would they be a Federation race then? make up a planet name and a race name and i say go for it. but please, don't call the home planet "Lupus Major" or something.

and yes, you can be the Colonel. therefore, my char and your char will have to go over the briefings etc.

Delta Quadrant could be useful setting seeing there still alot of unknown races in it

yeah, except the Fed hasn't expanded that far...lots of unknown space in alpha-beta..considering the exploits of the TNG crew.

Lupus Major? Do you think me that un-original:tongue:

Name: Colonel Fark Kaven

Race: Kaven comes from a race, which otherwise untill now had been realtivly unkown inside the federation. He belongs to the race called Shistavanen, from the world of Ureva Prime, in the Alpha quadrant.

Age: 56

Apperance: Kraven takes the form similar of that to a canine, more specifically the fox. His race is that of multiple sentieint cannine species who share very close resebleances to those of the non-sentient cannines of the planet Earth. He stands at 6ft 3 and is of an slim build with clearly defined muscles. The majority of his fur is jet black with red colouring on his ear tips, tail tip and paws. Also red markings extend from his muzzle down to half way down his chest.

Apperance is identical to this image: http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/5457/huttserlarge.jpg

Expertise: An expert in tactics, specalising in small unit tactics as well as ship boarding. He is also quite experianced in ranged battles and CQB situations. Also his cannine build helps give him power over the average human in hand to hand.

Personality: A friendly person off-duty, he commands the respect of his men in the field however off duty he tries to get to know them so as best to jusge their character. He prefers to lead by respect and leadership rhater then anger and discpline, however he is more then willing to dish out punishement.

Biography: Born too a military family, he went through the eight years of being a minor being constantly reminded that he had an obligation to his race and family. He also was the recipent of quite a bit of informal training by his farther, mother and uncles. He also learnt to look after himself on the back streets of his world which are a veritable battle ground on their own.

Joining the military at the age of 10, he passed through the gruelling officer course for the Shistavanen Marine corps. Passing with flying colours he was fast tracked though to serve as the second in command to a Shistavanen marine unit that was responsible for taking back a caprtured frieghter. During this action he showed great skill and courage, this earmarked him for transfer into the next batch of offciers to be sent to the federation.

all right, just making sure :P

So, he's Federation Marine Corps then?

What ever fits best, thats why I left the bio about the federation blank.

So once we get a third person we can begin, correct?

Yes. One more to round out the team, unless Wolf wants to make another char for us.

also, should i just rp it here and we see if the mods notice?

No, just take it to the other place, but what about registering? It won't let me post until I've been approved

No, just take it to the other place, but what about registering? It won't let me post until I've been approved
ugh, i know, lemme talk to the site owners...annoying, isn't it :P

You can always make up spaces in the team with intrim transfers from the Ships troop complement, or I might even acompnay you from time to time.

Ok, so I need to make two minor changes to my character:

First, my backstory doesn't fit my character's age. I'll have to either change it, or make him older. Which is fine because as I recall, Klingons live longer than humans and I mean for my character to be an "old soldier" type. But I'll have to check the exact dates. Second, the name Kor belongs to an existing Klingon character. So I'll be changing that as well. Sorry for any inconveniance.

Is this still live?

idk, what do you say we just do it here til we're stopped?

As long as it has some basis in NS it is aceptable I belive. Not to mention is a bit of a far cry fro, star trek because it has my character in it and due to the mixed races onboard this starship.

Also then again I thought the rule only applied to alternate-history threads, this isn't an alternate history thread.

i'll start tomorrow then and if we get in trouble, we get in trouble...

rule to all now due to all the Heroes knocks offs

all right, well anyone else know of a site where you don't need to be approved by ppl that don't log in to join?

I don't know. Their's one possibility I can think of but I'll have to get back to you later.

bummp

also, i've let the right admin know, so hopefully you'll all get added soon. pm me asap when you do.

So wheres this happening?

On that site or here?

ooc: Screw it! let's do it here. let's just keep the posts in here to minimize exposure

ic:

Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the battleship Colin Powell. It's continuing mission; to explore and and infiltrate strange new worlds, to seek out enemy ships and installations-to boldy fight where no one has fought before.


Captain's Log: Stardate 57931.68
Following orders from Starfleet Special Operations Command, the Powell left it's surveillance of the Neutral Zone and proceeded on heading 240.045 to the Valorum System. We are now awaiting additional orders concerning our change in orders.

----------------------

Alpha Team Ready Room: 1300 Hours

Derrick sighed as his meal was replicated, taking his tray and setting it down at the table. He didn't mind the sudden change in orders, but now they were just sitting here. As a SOC vessel, change in orders like this could only mean one thing; a mission. But Starfleet was being hush-hush about it, although scuttlebutt said it was a clandestine Dominion outpost. As CO of the Alpha Team, Derrick wondered why Captain Winters and Colonel Kaven hadn't so much as uttered a whisper to him since then.

ooc2: BH, i'll pm you with the details of the first mission

Daniel kicked his Sparring partner to the floor once more. Both of them were covered in blood as they'd turned to holodeck safties off. His sparring partner pulled himself to his feet only to be kicked to the floor again. Daniel smiled as he waited for his partner to attack once more.

ooc: Can I assume that we have our own quarters

Aaron laid on the couch in his quarters reading a book, an actual paper copy, not on a PADD. Most people thought it was odd, but he kept a small library of his favorite books. He never really did like reading from PADDs, it never was the same to him.

"Colonel Kraven and Lieutenant Vieter, report to the Briefing Room immediately," the Captain's voice said over the Comm.

Setting down his meal, Vieter stood up and hurried off to the Briefing Room, which was situated on the starboard of the saucer section.

Outside, a small obelisk-actually a modified torpedo-exited warp and was quickly transported aboard.

ooc: yes

ooc2: BH, i'll just brief us all

NOTE: only the colonel and my char will icly know the briefing until told otherwise.

OOCL Understood

Daniel and his friend walked along the corridor away from the Holodeck and towards the Sickbay to get their bumps and bruises healed.

ooc: aren't u going to rp the colonel...?

ic:

A pair of Starfleet security officers walked into the briefing room, escorting the ship's Intelligence Officer, Lieutenant(jg) Davis. She was followed by Captain Marcus. As Davis set up the information, the large viewscreen sprang to life with the Starfleet SOCOM logo, the familiar delta design wreathed with laurels and a single sword up the center. Immediately, a message scrolled across: TOP SECRET: EYES ONLY

Command code authorization is required the computer insisted.

"Captain Donald Marcus, USS Colin Powell, Commanding. Authorization; Marcus-Zero-Five-Beta."

Secondary authorization required

"Lieutenant Derrick Vieter, Alpha Team, Commanding. Authorization; Vieter-Omega-Three-Nine."

The computer chirped and the screen dissolved into the actual briefing.

"Good evening, gentlemen," Davis said, "Here is the briefing of our current situation."

((Reserved for IC post))

Aaron woke up from the nap he hadn't even realized he'd been taking. He checked the time and decided to go practice in the phaser range. He stood up and headed out into the hall.

bump....


...this means you, wolf :P

bump?

Colonel Marcus Kraven had his muzzle firmly planted in the pillow of his bunk. He missed the inital call to come to the breifing room, he wasn't actually woken up till five minutes later when one of his marines began slamming on the door, "Oi Colonel, el capitan wan't you in the breifing room." Rolling out of his bunk and landing in a heap of fur on the floor, he gathered him self up, brushed his fur down and wandered over to his wardrobe however just before he went to pull out a new uniform he realised he had fallen asleep in one. Cursing the late night ship boarding holo-deck session he grabbed his red beret pushing his ears through the holes h had cut and wandered out of his quaters, thenked the marine by giving him a sharp push and continued on to the Breifing room.

He entered through a side door into the breifing room and taking his seat, he stared intently at the breifing.
