Physical Characteristics

Height: 159 cm
Weight: 63 kg
Measurements: Men don't have these! Stop asking!!
Bra Size: I said STOP!!!

Build and Skin Colour: White skin tone and lean build, but with unusually large feet for his size. However, his feet are not so big as to impede his movement and he is actually rather fast.
Facial Features and Eye Colour: Green eyes; his clean-shaven face is something women love to see, with a strong jaw, and a nice smile.
Hair Colour and Style: Short, brown hair, usually well looked after

Distinguishing Features: Other than his unusually large feet, there really isn't much to be said except that he is rarely seen without a belt on. Even in his swimming suit.


Psychological Characteristics

Personality:
From childhood, Lyf always seemed to like technology. Before even going into school, he was taking apart all of his parents' expensive devices (and rarely putting them back together properly). Later on, however, he learned about mechanics and technology in school and not only could he put things back together, but he began to create things as well. He also developed a knack for putting humans back together, so to speak. After only a few medicinal courses, he began enjoying helping people heal and recover. He enjoys a good book more than time with friends.

Likes: Fancy technology, books, time alone to think about his inventions-in-progress, and of course, wimmin!
Dislikes: Raucous behavior and parties, singing and whistling, unneccessary fighting, technology that self-destructs upon inspection
Goals: Invent something that will change the galaxy, read the complete history of Yamatai and all of its predecessors


History

Easily bored by school as a child, Lyf preferred to spend time inventing and experimenting by himself. Therefore, when he saw a Star Army advertisement, he was drawn to the prospect of adventure and an opportunity to use his skills in a useful way.


Skills

Technology Operation: Lyf is capable of operating any computer system that uses the Kessaku OS, found on all Star Army starships. He is proficient in entering and searching for information.

Mathematics: Lyf received basic mathematics training, to including up to algebra and trigonometry.

Communication: Lyf is familiar with basic radio operation and procedures and can make transmissions to and receive transmissions from other characters through headsets, starships, power armor, and shuttles in both combat and non-combat conditions. Lyf is fluent in Nepleslian. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.

Fighting: Lyf received hand-to-hand combat training, followed up with a rigorous training program. He is skilled and experienced in combat both in Yamatai-like conditions and in zero-gravity, with and without weapons. Weapons he is trained in include energy pistols, knives, and power armor.

Engineering: Lyf has received extensive schooling in engineering all sorts of mechanical devices. He can successfully fix most problems with common electronics (such as communication devices) and most general computer problems. He can also fix common vehicle problems. With assistance or a good instruction book, Lyf can figure out how to fix some larger problems as well.

Medical and Science: Lyf uses his knowledge of science and medicine to apply medicines and different types of bandages to wounded people. He has also become efficient at making his own medicines from natural (and other) resources.

Biology: Lyf's knowledge of biology helps him both with healing and figuring out which medicines will help and which will hurt.

OOC Notes: This character is meant to go on the YSS Moirai when it is approved.
 
Go into detail about appears (Facial and stuff mostly) and you probably ought to do moar in History.

Otherwise it seems swell.

DANDY, even
 
I'd prefer to see either his medical or his engineering be superior. Right now, I think it should be medical that's better:

Engineering: Lyf has received extensive schooling in engineering all sorts of mechanical devices. He can successfully fix anything from computers and electronics to most basic vehicles.

That's too powerful anyway. So tone it down, so he can't successfully fix anything, but usually successfully fix some things.
 
You're right, I suppose it was a little strong. Is this better?

Engineering: Lyf has received extensive schooling in engineering all sorts of mechanical devices. He can successfully fix any minor problems with common electronics and most general computer problems. He can also try to fix small vehicle problems, but here his expertise is limited to only the easiest, most common problems.
 
*laughs* Now that's a little too weak! Stick with mechanical stuff, and state that with help, he can fix plenty of stuff.
 
:D Sorry we have to keep going back and forth on this one. I'll try one more time. How's this?

Engineering: Lyf has received extensive schooling in engineering all sorts of mechanical devices. He can successfully fix most problems with common electronics (such as communication devices) and most general computer problems. He can also fix common vehicle problems. With assistance or a good instruction book, Lyf can figure out how to fix new problems in all said areas as well.

Quite frankly, if this doesn't do it, I don't know what else to do, so someone will just have to tell me :|
 
Sure, that'll work good! Don't forget to wikify everything here with the corrected copy.

This character is approved for IC usage. Please update your contact information, and request orders in the communication thread of your character's faction.

Welcome to the Star Army Role-Play.
 
Not sure if it makes a difference now that the character is approved, but considering that it seems more concerned with fixing existing devices rather than designing and building new ones, this skill sounds more like "Maintenance and Repair" than "Engineering." Plus, if you wanted to be able to slot the character under either the Tech Sentry or Medic fields, "Maintenance and Repair" is the requisite skill for the former, not "Engineering"...
