Hello, pilot. Get in the vessel and let's go.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Welcome to the RP, Skies of Isora. In this story you'll be playing as the unsung heroes in the Isoran wars, the pilots of the vessels that blasted Morai out of the sky and rained fire on them.

Five players required to make it operational.

That's a good idea but I

That's a good idea but I wanted each character really to have their own separate vessels, perhaps the Airship is piloted by some NPCs with the human player controlling them?

Sandwich-Potato

^ I'd like that. Controlling small groups of people seems fun. I should try that in D&D sometime.

Thu, 05/08/2014 - 14:40

Hexlash

Well...

If anyone else is up for it, I'd like to try piloting with other players. NPCs would allow for better story control and less wait, but I think other players would be more fun!

Thinslayer...? ;3

What? Visited by the great Potato of Sandwiches?! I'm honored!

But speaking of Airships I think I'll make something along the lines of that since it's been requested more than once, look in the OP for the new vessel.

Creeperlucario

This could be interesting

App

Name: Rose
Gender: Female
Age: 20
Rank: Senior Airman ((How does that make sense if the person is Female?))
Bio: Rose was one of those knights who prefer defense over strength and because of this, she decided to make her vessel great for defense. However, due to the large amount of defense that was on it, the speed and it's dodge rate where pathetically low. Rose noted her weapons where fine but she wouldn't use them much since the vessel is to absorb damage then deal out.
Other: Is so noble that she would fall with her vessel. Weaponry overheats fast if used (Basically, 5 seconds before it overheats.)

Name: Defense Vessel MK Dreadnaught

@Raigaizam

D&D > New game junk any day. Besides, in D&D you can cheese more stuff in.

@Sho-Marufuji

Woah, I'm famous? I didn't know that. Been kinda slacking in the Treasure Vault lately for the past half year or so. I figured I might as well come back here as soon as a new RP came in, which was yours. I also see that you have shortened bios, so I'll cut mine down too for the sake of correspondence. Mine always did kind of drag on, which Thin knows from the derp text wall I'd conjure up and slam into the thread.

Also, a question. Why is the Titan having super speed? Wouldn't the name sorta imply it being a slow yet devastating force?

Character

Name: Orom Isglaed

Gender: Male

Age: 31.

Rank: Master Sergeant.

Bio: Unlike many Isorans, who have a good reason to loathe the Morai for either personal/political reasons, Orom merely grew up throughout his life with everyone he knew - parents, tutors, the newspapers before he knew they were full of it - hearing that the Morai were fundamentally despicable things. He never saw them in action, never saw the horrors they could cause without losing a wink of sleep over it. No one really elucidated what they exactly did to make them so loathsome, so he just accepted it, though his natural curiosity always wondered what was causing all this fighting. This ignorant-in-one-aspect man then joined the military, like many of his peers, and was assigned to the homefront, so he once again didn't see them do a single thing that made them the most despised creatures by Isora. Hard work and a quick mind, however, quickly allowed him to climb the ladder of ranking, and soon he was assigned a ship to control, with a small crew thrown in to help man the guns/wheel/other stuff that he wouldn't expect. He's looking forward to his first actual battle, having gotten bored of the simulator after he beat it a few hundred times. No training, however, will let him be ready for the horrors of war that he'll soon find are all too real.

Vessel

Type: Custom

Name: Isora's 4th Non-industrial Sight-warper,The Ornery Oozer, AKA OO (Two Rings).

Weaponry: 3/4
Speed: 2/4
AI: 0/4
Armor: 3/4

Description: A rather small and tough ship, relies on dodging the most destructive blasts while tanking the smaller hits. Has a unique gizmo on board which can visually "stretch, flatten, or bend the ship" that makes enemies fire at where the ship seems to be but really isn't, earning the nickname it has.

Your right Sammich-Man. I think I'll go back and change that about evasiveness, I think I'll change it to AI systems which will increase aiming, mapping, etc. Also just back tracking to why the Titan has so much speed...yeah, I'll go back and change that. Dang, your finding all the stains in this story.

Aww, you ruined the fun! Who doesn't want a supah fast ship called Titan? D:

The Titan, fastest ship on the market. Titan, the speed demon ship (even though there's an actual Speed demon ship).

Potatoes are not a food but actually pieces of raw awesomeness.

Colray

Lorecraft

Name: Nile Shale
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Rank: Airman First class
Bio: Nile always wanted to fly, he loved watching the fighters take off at the air base by his home. He learned to fly as soon as he was licensed.
Other: Very accurate in dogfights.
And the most important part...
Vessel*;
Template: Custom
Name: LongShot Mach 4
Weaponry: 2/4
Speed: 3/4
AI: 2 /4
Armor: 1/4

Description: Nile's LongShot is a small jet, invested in one heavy gun and two smaller guns. The heavy gun is mounted under the cockpit and sticks out about a foot ahead of the rest of the ship. The smaller guns are small quad barreled machine guns mounted on the underside of each wing. Each piece of artillery is firmly mounted and cannot rotate, this is why Nile designed the ship to reach high speeds and maneuver well in the air.

Nice nicknames you did, especially for Creeper! Nice, I didn't expect to find a loophole in her forum name but you found it! Good job!

Trolololololololoe

Who else thinks Robo is being a bully?

Sorry for taken space but it needs to be said.

Robo, stop bullying CreeperLucario! Seriously! You have ruined a few of her apps, and even her RP which I liked reading and was excited for what was going to happen. But, you ruined it with your "Loopholes" well, what about your name? Your name is based off a video game boss! I must be losing it but the bullying must stop.

Also, Sho-Marufuji, why did you need to make that nickname for CreeperLucario, it's just odd.

Robo-Drilldigger

@Trolololololololoe

How am I being a bully? Exploiting loopholes is my best thing! Anyways, Creeper's name is 2 video game characters! So, she is still worse then me. I mainly use loopholes on Video games most.

Fri, 05/09/2014 - 15:38

#24

Sho-Marufuji

No problem, Trol.

I agree Trol. I never meant to expose your said "loopholes" on Creeper and didn't mean to insult or bully Creeper either. I also agree with Trol on the topic that you are bullying Creeper. Please stop with the unnecessary commentary on his or her decisions and I think the forums will be a tad bit of a happier place.

P.S: I've went back and changed all the names that caused some rude comments.

P.P.S: I'd like to stop all this commentary that doesn't have to do anything with my RP and try to get a few more applications in.

I don't even know what's going on...

But here's a quick app anyway (I'm reaaalllly tired of making apps lol)

How to Make a Application:

Name: Eyris Aoref
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Rank: Staff Sergeant
Bio: Eyris is a fairly able crew member, except he is afraid of heights. When his experienced father crashed aboard his very own Bomber, Eryis grew terrified of flying. Yet still he managed to join the ranks all the same with his organization skills and maintained composure. However, due to his fear, he was unable to advance any further. He is beginning to take to aeronautical engineering, and hopes that one day he'll remain firmly planted on the ground, but until that day he would be up in the skies, along with whatever large crewed ship he was needed in.

Vessel: I am willing to join the Titan, or whatever vessel will allow for player cooperation.

Archemiday-Thebard

Name: Archemiday
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Rank : Master Sergeant
Bio: Proud bomber that enjoys making stuff go boom. Enjoys old WW2 planes so much that he took one, and modernized it. Believes that planes are made to make other pilots eject, not to kill. Doesn't talk much unless needed. Hides his face. Is often seen at the base's bar.
Other: Carries a Blitzneedle with him, so if he must eject, he will go down shooting.
And the most important part...
Vessel*;
Name: B-17R (Think of a B-17G, but is powered by the same engines as the skylark, but much smaller.
Weaponry: 2/4, It has no front facing MGs/Cannons, but has 9 Gunners. Carries a bombload of 6000 lbs.
Speed:1 /4
AI: 2/4 Archemiday usually uses the AI for the gunners only. He likes to drop the bombs himself.
Armor: 3/4

@Archethebard

Not accepted, there is no CE on Isora according to my logic. Also AI is the computer systems of the ship, 0 AI means the ship is very old and has little technology.

And also I'll be sure to be posting up the RP because it seems some of our fellow writers would enjoy that.
