Galar is your average "nice guy" figure. He always puts up an attitude of a friendly guy anyone would want to talk to.

Usually a terrible slacker, unfortunately, he is a show off and that sometimes is his downfall. Never without his implanted internal music player, with which he is able to listen to music transmitted directly to his brain. He is also a collector of antique books, especially ones on old battle histories. An avid manga reader and novels, he is never seen without a book under his shoulder. Galar is not the bravest of warriors though. This is not to say he is a coward in any way.

OOC Notes

this is my first character.
 
Hey there. I'm Doshii, a moderator at Star Army. I'll be looking over your character here. Just a note -- there's no need to take anything I say personally. We review a lot of bios here, and what we say is in the interest of making your character better and preserving our RP environment.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask any of the moderators through PM, e-mail or YIM.

1. Interesting name. Where does it come from?

2. He has no family at all? Geshrin are usually born from someone.

3. Starship operations and a cadet? This is your first character here, so I will strongly advise you against this path. An officer character is probably better later on, after you've learn something about the site.

That said, as a Geshrin, you have access to the rank. I'm just saying.

4. Very ... unmentionable appearance. Kind of cool, actually.

5. In your personality -- you kind of mashed everything up (history, skills and personality). Sparse that stuff out -- take the stuff about engineering and mythology and put it into likes. Communication is a skill, so you can keep it there under engineering.

His public speaking is also a skill.

6. Ah, here we go. History.

a. Woke up in an escape pod? Ummm ... rather odd. Didn't he want to find his parents? Anything about himself?

b. The bit about working in a garage and going to the university is cool. But three degrees?! Jesus. That's impressive. Surprised he went into the Army.

7. Skills!

Basically, your leadership skill is my only beef. I can live with the engineering, but you mashed three skills into one (public speaking, strategy and leadership).
 
1. kinda messed with a name from norse mythology.
2. family wise, he just doesnt know his parents, no memory and whatwithall.
3. thanks for the advice, but could you advise me on a fun path, one that I can easily do, but have a lot of fun performing? (one preferably uses engeneering cuz thats prety much just awesome.)
4. thanks!
5. Ill get right on that.
6.a. well, as he has no memories (and its just dumb luck that I forgot to add that desire into his goals, stupid me...)
b. I was thinking more as engeneering as his major and the others as minors.
7. with this, do you want me just to pick one? cuz I can live with that. I just thought that the skills page seemed to indicate that this all was mashed into one...

also, its interesting, I kinda modeled this character personality and likes-wise on myself. it just seemed to fit...
anyways, do you want me to just totally repost my bio in a news topic, or in the same topic? or can I just edit it and PM you?
 
Generally, editing is best.
 
OK, its edited. just one question: what occupation would be better for my first character, if I wanted to be something that could utilize my skills in engeneering and communication what would I want to pick? I can change my skill in public speaking to like vehicle operation. should I?
 
?
 
alright! technician it is! now that <i>that</i> is taken care of, is this character playable? and if it is, could you tell me where to go from here?
 
Yay! Fresh meat-- Err, welcome to SA!

Once you're done here you go to the forum called 'Star Army Communications Network' and post on the 'Request for Orders' thread. There you can ask to be assigned to a ship (roleplay group) or you can ask for a particular one if you see one that catches your fancy.

That's of course after Wes Almighty stamps your bio with 'OK' or 'NAY'.
 
A cadet ranked technician?
Also, capital letters are your friends (need to throw a couple around mainly in the first half of the bio).
 
Gah. Glazed on that. Thanks David.

Zephyrite, your character's rank is going to be Santô Hei.
 
orders requested in the proper place, assignment would be appreciated. (I would prefer to be placed on a smaller vessel or one that could greatly need my skills)
 
cool. as soon as the orders are issued, Ill be on my way.
(as you can see, Im pretty eager, this sounds like a lot of fun)
