History

Born Geshrin, Ken was a courior of major goods in a large shipping corporation. When the Yamatarian model bodies came out, he decided he needed more then a new body, but a new life. He quit after buying his ship from the corporation, the Alucard. He is now looking for a group to help him crew it and replace some of the stuff on it. He hopes to live up to the dragon tattooed on his arm, a symbol of his family. Known as Dragoon to those who have seen him fight in protection of crew or cargo. he is also planning on upgrading from a Equine to a Vampire class ship, through any means. It does help that he has been saving up for such an upgrade. He doesn't care for his Equine, being less reliable then most fictional spacecraft.


Skills

Leadership: Being the captian of a large corporation cargo ship teaches you this kind of thing, especially at the Ketsurui Fleet Yards

Fighting: He took some martial art classes, and is well practiced in Kenpo and Tai Justu

Entertainment: Being a frequent at bars, Ken has picked up some drink mixes, and learned to tell a tale or five.

Physical: At the same gym where he took martial arts lessons, he pumped some iron. He is an average swimmer, and a good climber

Engineering: Ken comes from a long line of gunsmiths, and has taken up the same as a side to his usual jobs. His main pistols are his first custom job, financed by his parents.

Starship Operations: He learned from the best at the corporation, so that once he got placed as captian of the Alucard, he was more then proficient

Vehicles: Ken also happens to be a decent driver, from hurring to work all those days waking up late.
 
Welcome to Star Army! Pleasure to have you joining up to our community here. I'm Doshii, for reference's sake.

Other players and moderators might be by to help with your character, but I'll try and point you in the right directions now. At least, I think they're right -- we've been known to go back and forth to come to conclusions.

Don't worry! It's all part of the process.

1. Name's a bit more Nepleslian than Yamataian.

2. Geshrin, not Geshrina.

3. Red eyes? Hmmmm. Haven't had someone with red eyes in a little while. If you were a Geshrin, however, you probably won't have the cat ears. Wes can make a final ruling there.

And don't forget to put measurements in metric too.

4. You need to say more about the ship -- where he got it, what he's done to it, so on. It might be to your advantage to join a pirate ship already working, such as Yuki Toshiro's Yggdrasil instead of having a ship that no one might end up joining.

We encourage this only because single players with their own ships tend to die out really fast from lack of involvement with other players.

5. Alucard ... might we have a Hellsing fan? *grins*

7. Skills: They need work.

a. Leadership: I understand being a captain and all -- but you should mention what corporation, at the least, and how long he worked there. He's only 23 after all -- was it Ketsurui Fleet Yards?

b. Fighting is a bit much. You should specify the type of power armor -- probably a Demon, Setsuna or such. A Kylie, the only armor your character could've flown for quite some time that is KFY, is exceedingly expensive for personal ownership.

c. Entertainment and Physical are OK. However: WES, we need to decide how whether to limit non-military players to 4 skills or 7.

d. "Rogue" is too powerful. You don't just "hotwire" a starship, unless you mean smaller vessels only. Pickpocketing is fine.

e. Starship Operations should be limited to the type of vessel you're piloting. Chances are "the company" didn't give him the full gamut of vessels to fly anyway. Sojourners, maybe a converted Subjugator, a Vampire if he was really lucky.

f. Vehicles is fine.

Overall: Needs some work in history and skills(ask questions!), but not too bad. Remember, feel free to ask us any questions you have.

And put some contact info down if you haven't already.
 
Is it possible to change the last name?

I've got a captain named Jack Miller in Nepleslia, and I can already tell that multiple Captain Millers are gonna throw things into disorder. :)
 
Okay. Thanks for input. On the name, I would just like to say that even with ever generator in the world, I still suck with them.

Second, I am no good with US-Metric conversions, nor am I good at estimating such mesurements as chest and the such.

3. It would actually help me if you did infact make it 5 for non military, becuase then I don't end up choosing stuff totally nonrelated

4. Not a pirate, damnish. Never will be, unless payed a very high price.

I'll say it now: My Yahoo is on a button at the bottom of every post, and in my profile. I don't know why people don't use that and end up asking all the time.
 
Or use Google. (100 kg in lbs, 2 ft in m).

Chest you don't worry about, since you're a guy.

As for skills, we used to have a rule that non-military characters -- those not in the star armies of Yamatai, Nepleslia or other capable nations -- only got for skills. Now we're not sure on that rule. We'll get back to ya on it.

As for your Yahoo -- what do you mean? We keep critiques and questions about characters on your character sheet, so everyone has a record of what the bio went through before approval.
 
It's 7 for educated people, and 4 for those without a lot of education or experience.

Kylen, it is a normal procedure here for new people to post their contact infos here.

So Doshii, I dont think is that he wants all the comments on this bio to go through his Yahoo.

I dont know for sure, but I think the reason why it is not easy to get our Yahoo IDs and Emails off our profiles is to deter forum bots. So we would have to post them elsewhere ( Like said thread above )
 
Oh, contact info. I should've thought of that. Thanks Fian.

Contact info also provides a little recruitment information to Wes, such as how you found SA.
 
I see....well, I need to go edit, but I'll be damned if i can remember how I found it, and seeing as most everything is on Yahoo, I'll just leave that.

Edit: Must I do everything in metric? I suck with metric....and if anyone can think of a better name for a Yamatarian then Kumori Ryuuga, which I am temped to call him, let me know.

After approval, it's fine to delete all the comments if a player requests it cleaned up.
