Hello veterans, new players, and all those interested in tanking in SARP!

This is the wiki about this plot! That is currently being re-worked a bit with the new re-launching of the plot. Let's get ourselves signed up and get this show on the road, eh? Below is the sign-up for crews, and once we get a few: we can do this fun thing!

==========​

Name:
Age:
Gender:
Species:
Appearance:
Personality:
Rank: (Note here, the limit is at E4 (Corporal) for the commander of each tank/PC, and of course stick with Marine ranks)
Tank Name: (This can wait till after this or perhaps more missions if you'd like to "earn" a name)
Tank Crew: (You are the commander, remember that)
- Loader:
- Gunner:
- Driver:

==========​

Name: William "The Smokehouse" Parry
Age: 37 years old
Gender: Male

Appearance: 6' 5" with a barrel chest and wide shoulders, William "Smokestack" Parry is obviously the descendant of an ID-SOL. His head his normally kept shaved, as well as hidden under either his field cap or his helmet, and he has a bushy blonde mustache that some officers might be inclined to point out was bordering being out of regulations - if they even thought it'd get him to do something about it. He has a round face, pronounced cheekbones, and bright green eyes. He's seldom seen without his pipe.

Personality: William will be the first man to come to the defense of the Marines under his command when he feels they are in the right, even for something like going against the orders of a superior officer. But he'll be the first one to tear apart the barracks, yelling and screaming in rage, and reprimanding and punishing his Marines if he feels that they were in the wrong or messed up. Its also noted that he keeps a large case of cigars in his tank to distribute among the crews of his flotilment after a successful operation.

Rank: Senior Chief (JO-1)
Tank Name: "Thunder Chief"
Tank Crew:
- Loader: Private 1st Class Andy Riehl - A laid-back and easy-going young man who left amateur air-bike racing because it "wasn't exciting enough, bro-ham," in his words.
- Gunner: Mid-Corporal Elaine "High-Heels" Justus - An often jumpy and excitable young woman, who left her career as a stripper in Funky City for the Marines to escape an abusive boyfriend.
- Driver: Corporal Hans Stein - A stern-faced and taciturn fellow who isn't much for talking and seems to enjoy the pleasure of a good book or oil painting to the constant company of others. Elaine and Andy seem to have made it a mission to "crack his shell".
 
COPY/PASTE taim!

Name: I. "Wespe" Titenlieb (Though she uses Wespe as a name.)
Age: 28 AY
Gender: Very very Female
Species: Abwehran surfacer
Appearance: See the bio
Personality: Once again, the bio
Rank: Corporal
Tank Name: The BONE
Tank Crew: (You are the commander, remember that)
- Loader: Jenn'ir "Wojtek" Daaar'ka - Female Lorath Lmanel, aspected with bear.
- Gunner: Fastclaw Wolflord - Kohanian wolfman. He is a wolf. He likes to kill stuff.
- Driver: Rum Taman - Phod driver. Why he did not join Yam army? They don't really use any bloody tanks do they? Great cook. Can make best burgers on the engine grill.
 
Alright, let's get that delicious copypasta here:


Name: Ross Mitchell
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Species: Nepleslian
Appearance: Standing 5'10'', Ross has an unremarkable build, hard facial features and a slightly tanned skin. Although young, he has a roughed look due to laugh lines already forming around the corner of his mouth and the barest signs of wrinkles on the sides of his eyes. Never seen without his helmet, he has a short light brown hair and brown eyes.

Personality: Cool headed under pressure and clever were the two main traits that landed Ross on the role of a tank commander along with his ambition at his age. He's a man who's hard to lose his calm and who is thorough when doing his duty, but relaxed and friendly when off-duty. As someone who's very devoted to his duty, Ross tends to put his crew and the mission first to new levels, and more often than not will push his crew to their limits to achieve his objectives.

Rank: Corporal (E4)
Tank Name: "Vehicular Manslaughter"
Tank Crew:
- Loader: P2C Bob ''Brick'' Johnson- Dark skinned ID-SOL with a bionic arm who was transferred from infantry to tank crew duty. Surprisingly the quietest of the crew.
- Gunner: P1C Otto Potapov - Platinum haired, blue eyed Nepleslian with a very light skin who speaks with a heavy accent. Never shuts up.
- Driver: P2C Maggie Greengold - Somewhat short, athletic, light skinned Nepleslian with dirty blonde hair. Has to put up with the gunner's yapping.
 
COPYPASTA


Name: Aleksandra Zinoviya Simonova
Nickname: Sasha
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Species: Nepleslian

Appearance: At 5ft2, Aleksandra is deceptively small in size, belying her wiry toughness. Her face delicate and her eyes deep emerald green in color. She has long crimson hair falls to her lower back and fair skin.

Personality: Aleksandra is an intelligent and dedicated soldier, even at her young age. She prefers a more casual style in handling herself and her people in most situations, though she shapes up properly when superiors are around. She is steadfastly supportive of her fellow soldiers and has already proved her willingness to sacrifice herself for her fellows in combat. Aleksandra likes to think she has a good sense of humor and likes to pull practical jokes on people when she can.

Rank: E3 Private First Class
Tank Name: "Misha"
Tank Crew:
- Loader: PFC. Natalya Ivanova, a tall dark haired woman with icy blue eyes
- Gunner: PCF. Sofia Filitov, a mousy blond woman with brown eyes
- Driver: Pvt. Mariya Gerasimov, a short tawny haired woman with green eyes
 
Name: Elizabeth Heidleberg
Nickname: Squeakies
Age: 22
Gender: female
Species: Nepleslian

Appearance: 5'6 female with shoulder length yellow hair, nicely proportioned body with nice muscle tone. Her skin is dark from exposure to the sunlight. Her nose is misshapen from being in one to many face plants into cowling of her tank and a few fistfights.

Personality: Has a strong voice that is used to being heard over the noises of her tank. She can get obnoxious and has a daring "can do" attitude that's gotten her in trouble a bunch of times.

Rank: Corporal
Tank Name: "Ground Hog"
Tank Crew: (You are the commander, remember that)
- Loader: Pvt 2 Benjiman "Benji" Bronsky Stocky plug of a man at 5'5"
- Gunner: Lance Corporal Michelle "Mikey" Whippleman, she stand at 5'7
- Driver: Pvt Charlie "Wrench" Ottoman III rail thin, but strong and standing at 5' 8"
 
Name: John "Johnny" Battleaxe
Age: 28
Gender: Manly Man
Species: Manly Nepleslian
Appearance: Manly. Johnny Battleaxe is 5'8" with short black hair with multi-colored streaks. Brown eyes. He is very manly.
Personality: Boisterous and aggressive. Johnny Battleaxe and his crew come from the Imperial Tank Guards, the 4th Marines' armored division, where they look down on all the other units of the Shaik. That ego is even more reinforced with this new unit. Nonetheless, he is also a very capable tank commander with a crew who have been together for years. He and his crew earned their stripes on the K4 Super Sprites before swapping out for the Maximus.
Rank: Corporal
Tank Name: Crush 'N Grind!
Tank Mods: Being from the ITG, it would be poor form for Johnny & the Warhammers to arrive with their tank at factory standard. During their own shakedown with the Guards, they made extensive changes to the CNG. First, they added external speakers to play whatever music they had hooked up. Then they added lots of hammocks on the side so they could transport stuff or sleep in it. The engine has been modified to run off diesel as well as alcohol. It's called sharing a drink with a buddy. The 4th Marines' insignia has been sprayed onto the sides of the turret, a skull crossed by lightning bolts. A pair of M3 Carbines are tucked away inside CNG to supplement the crew's sidearms. An emergency supply stash has been fitted inside the ready ammo box containing food and medical supplies and a box of Maximus cornflakes. The crew have jury-rigged a pair of remote grenade launchers to the sides of the turret to fire smoke and explosive rounds.

Inside, there is a small hot plate to boil water as well as a kettle. There's also a jury-rigged music system and Lewis Pasco Day colored lights hung randomly in the turret, giving the interior a very dazzling effect.

Tank Crew: The Warhammers
- Loader: Sanjay "Jay Jay" Jayaratnam
- Gunner: Samantha "Sammie" Cartwright
- Driver: Dana "Danny" Chao

Misc: In their spare time, the crew also form a rock band.

Man, you guys have such boring tanks!
 
Name: Adamask "Old Man Junker or Junker" Tyrosian
Age: 29
Gender: Male
Species: Nepleslian
Appearance:
Adamask, or Adam to his colleagues, has been told he "isn't much to look at," but it hasn't stopped him from picking up the ladies. His physique appears somewhat as a glutton and his larger belly contests to that. Not is what it appears, when the platoon training comes into play, he is usually at the top of his age bracket in most events, which usually raises ire towards him. A former mechanic by trade, he hasn't yet learned how to clean the grease and grime from his person, although his uniform is somewhat of a hindrance to the look. Close cropped hair, a paler olive skin tone, and a tilted Type 33 cap complete the ensemble of a working man.
Personality:
Starting later than most in the NSMC, Adam has never failed to meet expectations set for him. He often feels that he has to prove himself to the "youngbloods" of the unit, who often crack jokes about his age and rank. Not one for fighting or arguments, his second to none crew and friends jump to his aid more than he does himself. He's generally a quiet man, who works long and hard to keep his vehicles running and operating smoothly. He enjoys the adrenalin rush of operations and he has been known to unleash his pent up energy in odd ways. He works well with his crew and pushes them to meet his often high expectations. He accepts nothing but the best from his men and vehicle, but always keeps it in the family and takes great offense when someone criticizes their work.

Rank: E-2, Private Second Class
Tank Name: Hazardous Material
Tank Crew:
His crew shows great loyalty and have accepted mantles to show their dedication to the often used insult/nickname Adam owns. They all wear various adjusted Type 33 caps for uniformity and solidarity. They are the best equipped and prepared tank for CBRN operations.

- Loader: E-2 Desmond "Drone" Larrius, a tall and burly Nepleslian who wears his cap tilted up and to the right. His has a rough jaw of usually unshaven hair and a body to match. A rough and tumble kind of guy who goes about his loading procedures with automated efficiency.
- Gunner: E-3 Sarah "Sentinel" Lalouks, a thin and shy girl who keeps her small ponytail tucked behind her cap. She often wears grease under her eyes as a form of warpaint and is by far the most professional crew member. She is often overheard on the radio screaming and yelling at either her mates or the enemy. She has a cartoon universe and constellation tattooed on her left shoulder down to her elbow on her right arm.
- Driver: E-4 Jakesh "Jammer" Sogman, an eccentric young man who has refused command of a tank mainly because he doesn't handle stress very well and he only likes to drive. He has a cybernetic eye colored to match his existing one and wears his cap turned backwards. The bleeding heart of the crew, he takes no satisfaction from killing but understands that it is a necessary evil to protect his home and family.

Name: Hamal "Hermit" Seven-One
Age: 23 (Physically roughly 50)
Gender: Male
Species: Type 3 Freespacer inside EM-J2-3a Douryo Android
Appearance: Hamal has an aged and hardened with steel gray hair and a a short full beard. He stands six feet tall and has broad shoulders and tan skin. Despite his apparent age his body is extremely fit, but of course he is synthetic so such is possible.
Personality: Hamal is a very laid back kind of guy that often times will ramble about things only tangentially related to what he's actually trying to tell you and how he got the nick name 'Hermit' while in Nepleslia. He is however a bit stubborn as well, and even though he likes to take things easy, will often times become agitated at not being able to do things at his own pace. He has learned to follow orders however, but will generally take every freedom that he can.
Rank: E3 (P1C)
Tank Name: Long Horn
Tank Crew:
- Loader: P2C "Gearbox" - A gruff brown haired mechanic and loader, legally changed his name to Gearbox because it was cooler than "Borris Grant"
- Gunner: P2C Fredrica 'Fitz' Wallace - An orange haired spunky trigger happy woman who believes there's a gun for every problem
- Driver: P3C Alexander Volkov - A large man who looks more like he fits in the infantry than in a tank, but he can't shoot straight.
 
Well, with this many folks showing interest, I'd say we're safe to get started.

I'm typing up the intro to the new mission as we speak.
 
I'll post a link to it here, and the thread will be in the Open Roleplaying section of the forum under the title [Mission 0.1] Prom Date.
 
For clarity I want to say, that the Long Horn is trailing behind the Ground Hog and probably Vehicular Manslaughter as well. I put "A few miles out" in my post for location because the group on watch is not actually isn't at the FOB yet. But yeah ground hog should probably be the one getting ID'd since it'd be at the front.
 
A radio broadcasts in a frequency, not to someone specific unless both of them were in a specific channel, so it is not unlikely someone else would answer it.

And I had to shopping this morning :shock: I made my tank easily identifiable by coming to a stop in a crater. Besides we all would be on the same tactical frequency (at least it was when I was part of a truck convoy in the military)... it would be the same for tanks to have a common freq?
 
Yeah, Syaoran. The distance and conditions mean identifying the specific tank is nigh impossible. Also, Samanthia is right. Your tank, Vehicular Manslaughter, and every other TC are all on the same frequency. They all would hear the broadcast, including Chief Parry listening in. It doesn't matter as far as haling goes just who is in front of who, though that will come into play a bit for my next GM post.
 
I only directed it at Long Horn because it was the only one that had been posted. I'm skimming over most of the posts right now since I am usually operating on ~6 hrs of sleep and a fair amount of caffeine. It can be identified as a Maximus so I assumed you're on the same tactical frequency. I realize you're a few miles out which is why I'm threatening to shoot you. Anything less isn't a warm and friendly fire welcome.
