Oh cool! I haven't been in a sci-fi RP in ages. Count me in :D
Seems the more questions that are answered, the more interesting this thing gets. I'm especially intrigued by the fact that GURPS is being used (even if only from a bookkeeping standpoint), because it's the same system from the first two Fallout games before they started using SPECIAL. ^_^

Millinescence: Yeah. As I said, I was originally going to do this as a tabletop game. But, oh well. Free form forum RPs are fun too! And the Elder Scrolls universe? That was originally a home brewed AD&D setting from what I read.

Anyone have any more questions? Specifics? Regarding anything? Certain technology, the state of certain countries, or any OOC knowledge you wish to have? Ask now, I'll be posting character guide lines this weekend.

Thanks, Dact.

Belatedly!

I'm sure I missed stuff, or left something out, but I'm sure this steers you in the right direction! Freedom for character creation is... anything within reason. The thread, PMs, or IRC are all good for asking questions if you have any specifics.

Okay, time to make a character! HERE I GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Name: Dr. Damien Sanders
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Education/Experience: Studied at Harvard in medical sciences and graduated with full honors. Worked in various hospitals both as a physician and as a surgeon. Holds a Ph.D in medicine as evidenced by his title
Role: Team doctor
Personality: Damien is quite a warm individual who understands the idea of morale being just as important as good physical help. When dealing with patients, he tries to cheer them up as well as treat them, an approach he uses in everything. "A smile only flexes a few muscles, but can brighten someone's whole day" is his personal motto.
Appearance: Damien has short sandy blond hair and wears a pair of silver-rimmed glasses. His eyes are blue and has an angular face, His body is rather slender and even somewhat feminine and his white doctor's coat is near-omnipresent. His other clothes tend to be rather scruffy though
Important History: Damien is an orphan whose parents died of a curable disease. When he was old enough to learn the truth, he studied hard, shunning most everything else and got a scholarship that allowed him to go to such a prestigious place of higher learning. He vowed that he would never let anyone die of something curable if he could help it.
TF likes/dislikes: As long as there are no disproportionate body sizes ore massive mental changes to the degree that he forgets who he was, I'm good.

Anyway, here's my character sheet. You forgot Appearances but...*shrug*

Name: Natalia Chekovski

She wears a grey v-neck top underneath a long white labcoat, along with a knee-lenth black pleated skirt, pantyhose, and black boots with a 2inch heel.
Education/Experience: Studied a total of eight years at both the University of California, and the Lomonsov Moscow State University. Has a Phd in linguistics. Passed with progressing average of 3.8/4.0. Work Experience: Russian/English interpreter, translator of Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Personality: Kind, sociable, hard-working, and loves what she does. Always trying to do the best she can.

Name: Lieutenant Buzz Hawkins.
Gender: Male
Age: 58
Education/Experience: Graduated with full honors from the Farpoint Military Academy. After that he had a long and stellar military career.
Role: Security and heavy lifting.
Personality: Egotistical, rough, and quick to anger.
Important Character History: His role in the North Korean conflict earned him a chest full of medals and the adoration of the public. From that point on, his deployments always seemed 'beneath him'. No major conflicts happening since. But still the media latched onto his exploits. The military using him as a figurehead to keep up morale and public support. He finally retired, well past the normal age for retirement. But not long after, what would be a huge scandal surrounding him was hushed up by some old friends in the military. The price of doing so was to 'saddle' him for one more mission.
TF likes/dislikes: Likes: busty, sexy, cute women and monster girls. Dislikes: young child ARs, full inanimates.

Edit: Appearance: Lieutenant Hawkins has a bald, shaved head. A vertical scar down the left side of his face, an old shrapnel would. The scar intersects his eye socket, which has a prosthetic eye. His other eye is blue. The prosthetic is a military model, dull gray with the pupil a metal iris around a black lens. He is average height... good health. Slim but still muscular, he is in excellent condition for his age.

Miku: It looks great to me, save for I think it might be possible we have different definitions of what 'Xenobiology'. It'd seem you'd be more of an anthropologist style instead of a biologist. Yes? Or am I missing something?

Blaze: Looks excellent to me.

Milli: No problems here! (Herp. Forgot appearance. That's what happens when I am running out the door to get to work when I type something up)

Dact: It works nicely~

Due to my derping, I forgot 'Appearance' on the list. If you four could add that... ...and I'll be editing it into the original template.

Feelgood. If you're up for it... of course!

Yeah, that's right V...Conner Two Eagles is a social anthropologist, not a biologist, so his Xenobiology background works from the social Side and not the biology side. Although he does have the background to do some basic biology work if push comes to shove...=)

Name: Jason Smith
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Appearance: Somewhat short only standing at the amazingly tall height of 5'5! he wears his average length dark brown hair down usually behind his ears to stop it from getting in his eyes, his normal uniform is his basic military combat pants and his undershirt/ jacket followed by the standard issue vest covering his torso, his headgear consist of a headset and a regular military cap being a more light soldier then a heavy duty gunner, his skin is suprisingly pale despite being in the military and his eyes a re a faded gray color. Despite his regular issue military gear weapons ammo etc etc. you would also notice that one of his pockets always seems to have the familiar bulge of a paperback book.

Education/Experience: Highschool , basic military grunt training~ some technilogical/ engineering experience

Role: Support/Security

Personality: Sort of reclusive and shy only speaking when spoken to, this sometimes interferes due to him having ideas but to shy to speak up and tell his allies the ideas. Aside from this he's a hard worker and will not disobey an order unless theres a VERY good reason to.

Important Character History: He was one of those smart kids who never truely put his mind into his schooling and wound up passing highschool with above average grades, deffinatley not something those prestigious colleges are looking for. But when he decided to want a college education he looked to the one place who could possibly get him the education he truely desires! the army!. After signing up and being trained as a more support oriented soldier he was picked to be sent on this mission on the promise if it was a sucess then he could go to any college he wished fully paid for.

TF likes/dislikes:
Likes~ Tg , ar ( no younger than 13 ), animal girls (nekos etc etc.) , maid/servant style tf's
Dislikes~ Full inanimate, Full animal girl ( anthro ) , AP AR ( past 12 and below )
Maybes~ Monster girls

( hope this character is good enough? )

Name: Dr. Andre Larsa

Gender: male

Age: 26

Appearance: The first thing people usually notice about Andre is his shape. He has a very 'tall and thin' thing going for him, not to the point where he looks unhealthy, but still pretty skinny. He stands about 6'3. He has piecing blue eyes, obscured by a pair of glasses, and keeps his hair short and face shaved.

Education/Experience: Has a PHD in Astrophysics, as well as several similar scientific disciples appropriate to the genre.

Role: Not sure...perhaps a consulting scientist? If you have any thoughts, please comment.

Personality: People who meet Dr. Larsa have different reactions, but must describe him with a combination of the following words: Arrogant, blunt, and socially awkward. The phrase 'jerk' and less flattering descriptions come up too. The fact of the matter is, for all of Andre's brilliance, none of it has aided him in learning how to interact with people. He also is a bit of a germaphobe.

Important Character History: Born in Cardiff, Wales, Andre is considered a bit of a genius. Of course, like many great minds of history, he's just a bit odd. He has several degrees, one or two of them he gained before he was eighteen, and is hoping that this...whatever it is...will boost his acclaim further.


TF likes/dislikes: I don't like AR's younger than 13. I also do not enjoy memory rewrites of intelligence drops, or inanimate transformation or major weight gain. I am also not terribly fond of growing fur, specifically.

Other than that, I'm game for anything. I would enjoy it if Andre was blitzed by new, much stronger emotions or urges, to remove the illusion of control he has.

I also like TG. Just thought I'd mention that.

Name: Roy Smith
Gender: Male
Age: 21
Appearance: 'Neat' is perhaps the best word to describe Roy. His haircut is regulation, his glasses clean, his shoes polished. He stands about 5'8", and has light, medium-short brown hair, and maintains a trim figure, though he doesn't appear particular athletic to look at him.
Education/Experience: Roy is something of a prodigy when it comes to machines, as evidenced by his young age, but he remains inexperienced.
Role: Tech Expert
Personality: Roy is inquisitive and generally sociable, quick to turn to others for advice, though he has a tendency sometimes to get overexcited, running off on his own.
Important Character History: Put on a fast track from a young age, Roy quickly moved beyond conventional schooling, eventually being recruited for a government think tank at the age of 19, where he's worked up until now.
TF likes/dislikes: Come what may
