Temperance000 Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 (edited) Here's a brief list of Command Staff characters. Please ignore the Pilot entry; I'm trying to come up with something better for that. Also, some are more fleshed out than others. For obvious reasons, Temperance and the Tricephalon are not on this list. If anyone happens to think of a position I missed, let me know, and we'll see if we can work something out. Alaric: Foundry Master and Head Armorer, a Storm Volt in default colors with red energy. He has a habit of zapping anyone who touches the foundry without his permission, but is otherwise one of the more amicable personalities on the command staff. Choir Comm officer, twin sister of Cantrix, a Chorus Banshee in default colors with white energy. She spends most of her time in a meditative trance, the better to receive and process the copious amounts of data involved in running a ship the size of the Manifold. When she does speak, it is in a melodious, chordal monotone that some find slightly disturbing. Hex Pilot, a red Swindle Loki with red energy. Considers himself the best pilot in the system, and displays a typical "ace" mentality. However, he does have the skills to back it up, and is capable of training others to a moderate level of competence. He rarely leaves the helm, if he can help it. Cantrix Sensor chief, twin sister of Choir, a Reverb Banshee in default colors with white energy. She spends most of her time in a meditative trance, the better to receive and process the copious amounts of data gathered from space around the Manifold. When she does speak, it is in a melodious, chordal monotone that some find slightly disturbing. Atlanta Chief Engineer, a Flux Nova in default colors with deep blue energy. Notoriously grouchy, especially when dealing with Temperance. Runs Engineering with an adamantium gauntlet. Her favorite form of address is "scrub." Sema Arms Master, a Mesa in default colors with black energy. Fiercely dedicated to the perfection of shooting skills, and close friends with Alaric. Sema will not hesitate to correct your technique, but she is a patients and thorough instructor. Cordia Chief Medical Officer, a Trintiy in default colors with green energy. She is one of two people on the Manifold besides Temperance himself to be aware of the suppression device. Otherwise, she is kind but firm. Edit: I forgot to mention: would someone with a Chatango account (preferably Viper or Snale) be so kind as to make a chat page for this thread? Those have been marvelously useful in the past. I would do it myself, but I still refuse to open an account, just to irritate Fish :) Edited January 2, 2015 by Temperance000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well anyway...might as well do you the favour of RPing Atlanta...and I will also throw Jinx and Arthur into the mix for the sole purpus that we need more OCs who aren't in the command staff.

YES PLEASE! Crew should always outnumber command staff. That way, stuff actually gets done :) Thanks a ton, Viper. Once I've herded people onto the Manifold proper, we can start introducing characters to each other. *hums* and now, we wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperance000 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 You do indeed. If you have a spare moment, would you like to create the chatango page? It would be interesting to be in a chat room where you're basically a god. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lady_Viper Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Sorry for the dubble post. But I've now posted in the IC and we now have a chatango page: http://lotus-in-bloom-ooc.chatango.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temperance000 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Does it have to be Tenno or can we bring Syndicate members also? Tenno are preferred. I've been reading Kalenath's fanfiction again, and I like his idea of the Lotus and the Tenno as a relatively neutral party in Syndicate affairs. If you must bring a Syndicate OC, be aware that the others will probably demand representation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakeardian Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Alright....give me a moment to think up a character. Okay how about this. Name/Codename: Lancelot. Gender: Male Age <UNKNOWN> Race: Tenno Affiliation: The Lotus. Warframe: Excalibur. Weapons of Choice: Tiberion Rifle. Galantine heavy blade. MK III Dual Lato pistols. Karyst Dagger.

S.T.M.P.D Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Exactly where are we heading? I shot 1347 in Reno just to watch it die, so maybe I could actually try something like this out. Smallish role, few creative taxes, no Revel... Oh god. Viper's gonna kill me, isn't she. Time to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temperance000 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Come back! She won't murder you in cold blood, I swear! At the very least, she'll let you gasp out an explanation before ramming it back down your throat, along with a primed grenade. All that aside, the Manifold is heading "out to the Black," to borrow a term from Firefly. We'll be leaving the Origin System and the established setting of Warframe far behind us, and striking out to follow a garbled radio signal into the depths of Frontier Space. Basically, welcome aboard the USS Voyager, run by Tenno. Edited December 22, 2014 by Temperance000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnaleKing Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 fffffffff I like the idea of temp running a thread ffffffffffffuuuuuuu it does have a deadline where nobody can enter or exit (except through death) uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu it's really well thought out and I have an idea for a character crawling into my head against my intentions uuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccccccccc I SAID I WOULDN'T ccccccccccckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk dammit FINE.

I'm glad to welcome you back, but I'm also curious as to where you went. Did something happen that I was not aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temperance000 Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 Ah. Thank you Drake. I cannot promise anything, Snale. But I will do my best to minimize the amount of OoC bickering that occurs. Even if it's only temporary, it's good to have you back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.T.M.P.D Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 (edited) Yay, Snale! You were right about 1347. Let's hope Temperance being a better person than me will make this thread last for good. Anyway, here's me OC. Name: Khaldun Warframe: Espirit Vauban Coloring: Blue Neon secondary, deep black, Immortal skin, blue eyes, short brownhair, semi-beard/facial hairish stuff, Nordic-Arabic Weapons: Sybaris, Synoid Gammacor, Kronen Role: Chief Historian, partial engineer - Khaldun is the one whose job it is to rediscover the past - to analyze direlicts, to understand isolated civilizations, that sort of thing. As such, he's well-versed in both history and Orokin technology, and has spent a good portion of his time as Tenno not as a warrior, but as a scholic. He is antisocial and moody to a point, and a bit of a dreamer - very much a nerd. He can tend to go on about a topic in history that fascinates him to the point that he's talking to himself. Although most history of any era has been lost to the collapse, that hasn't stopped Khaldun's efforts to understand the causes behind that etheral event, similar to the way modern-day historians probe the Roman Empire. But what he finds will bring his intellectual elitism to the surface, and he will be a much more unpleasant person by the time this journey is over...

SnaleKing Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 If you're ultimately calling the shots, I think it'll work out fine. So, about the thread. What's the balance of inter-character drama, action, and scooby-doo-sleuthing going to be like? I'll adjust my character accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the balance of inter-character drama, action, and scooby-doo-sleuthing going to be like? I'll adjust my character accordingly. Not to dash your hopes, but I hadn't really considered that much yet. I have a few ideas for adventures along the way, but if it's just running around from crisis to crisis, mystery to mystery, this thread will get terribly boring, very fast. I was hoping to have it be primarily character-driven (read: mix of drama and sleuthing), with the occasional "adventure planet" thrown in to move things along. Hopefully, this is acceptable. Yay, Snale! You were right about 1347. Let's hope Temperance being a better person than me will make this thread last for good. Anyway, here's me OC. Name: Khaldun Warframe: Espirit Vauban Coloring: Blue Neon secondary, deep black, Immortal skin, blue eyes, short brownhair, semi-beard/facial hairish stuff, Nordic-Arabic Weapons: Sybaris, Synoid Gammacor, dual Krakows - custom-made Corpus-tech Tonfas with two Lankas mounted into each Tonfa and extendable blades on the sides Role: Chief Historian, partial engineer - Khaldun is the one whose job it is to rediscover the past - to analyze direlicts, to understand isolated civilizations, that sort of thing. As such, he's well-versed in both history and Orokin technology, and has spent a good portion of his time as Tenno not as a warrior, but as a scholic. He is antisocial and moody to a point, and a bit of a dreamer - very much a nerd. He can tend to go on about a topic in history that fascinates him to the point that he's talking to himself. Although most pre-Orokin-era history has been lost to the Collapse, Khaldun has takem it upon himself to educate himself as much as he can on later Orokin history, the history of alternate interstellar human civilizations such as that of the Skaians, and the colonization of the wider galaxy - his three main fortes. But what he finds will bring his intellectual elitism to the surface, and he will be a much more unpleasant person by the time this journey is over... Very interesting, STMPD, but I am a bit worried about certain elements of both the character and the backstory. 1. the Krakows - It's generally a very bad idea to be hitting people with the barrel of a gun. Logically, using a hollow tube, design to fire bullets in a straight line, as a club, causes it to perform the former function rather poorly. Or, failing that, the shock of impact and gore from cutting people open will affect your trigger mechanism. In short: Nice try combining the Redeemer and the Cronen, but I'm afraid this is one creative foray I'm going to have to curtail. 2. I love the idea of an intellectual elitist, but that bit about wider galactic colonization, particularly the part about "alternate interstellar human civilizations" is going to have to go. A historian is more than welcome, but not one that can answer virtually any question that may come up in the course of the mission. A lot was lost in the Collapse, and I'm assuming that to include virtually anything concrete on the Orokin Empire beyond the Origin System. It's fine if he studies that, but there is a reason that Tenno went to the Dark Sectors, and now, Frontier Space: no one knows what's out there any more. this thread looks pretty appealing? Then by all means, through up a character post here in the OoC, and we'll be happy to have you! If this is (partially) based off of Voyager... ...Would that make Tacis Tuvok? Umm...maybe? He's sure as hell not Chakotay. And Viper has already pointed out that Atlanta reminds her of Belona. Real quick, fish: will you be taking control of our dear Grand Master Asscalibur, or will you be leaving him to me?
