History:
Looking more like an ID-SOL, Ozzrik King grew up in the slums of Funky City. His parents and his brother spent a lot of their time together. His parents insisted that he study and learn. His father would say "You're a king, act like a king!" while his mother would say "You don't have to be good, you have to be better."

His parents owned a business together and were able to provide well for their family. The Kings lived in the slums because his parents felt it was important to give to the community as much as it was to push their own sons to succeed. This was the life of Ozzrik King, some what normal, hardly interesting and definitely without purpose. At least not until the day, everything changed.

Ozzrik's older brother had been gone for days. This wasn't unusual he was more of a free spirit. He never studied would sneak away to airbike races for quick cash. However, one day he came back, broken and battered. All he could squeak out was "The Chain" until he drifted into a coma-like state. It was at the sight of his brother, Ozzrik took to the streets to avenge Keith. One day after many brawls, Ozzrik ended up almost like his brother, but instead with a nasty gash across his left eye. He tried but he was outclassed as a fighter. He learned a bit but in the end, he couldn't make the change he wanted. His parents pleaded with him, "Stop it Oz, you're not going to get anywhere this way," Funny thing is, Oz agreed. The change had to be bigger...it had to be more meaningful. He took his brawl to the military.

Skills:

Fighting: Between his time fighting on the streets of Funky City's slums and the standard training regiment, Ozzrik leans towards a better than average hand-to-hand skill. While familiar with pistols and rifles, he prefers to use blunt weapons. Weapons he is trained in includes pistols, maces, and power armor.

Entertainment: Ozzrik is a natural storyteller and spends his spare time playing guitar in his own unique style. He taught himself guitar as a hobby to take a break from studying as a child.

Leadership: After he took to the streets to shake down The Chain in Funky City, Ozzrik learned that somtimes he could use intelligence and words to get what he wanted. While it didn't always prevent a beating, he was able to learn the ways of street diplomacy, public speaking and knowing when he was going to get jumped.

Survival: Ozzrik knows how to survive in hostile environments. He can build shelters, hunt and forage for food, build a fire, etc. The character can camouflage himself and is familiar with guerrilla warfare tactics. He specializes in urban warfare due to his interaction with Funky City gangs.

Communication: Ozzrik 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. Ozzrik is fluent in Nepleslian. He can speak and write both correctly and efficiently and can write reports, fill forms, issue orders under fire, etc.

Information Technology: Ozzrik has in depth knowledge of either the D.E.I.M.O.S. or NSA OS. He can operate any computer system that uses it, including all Star Military starships. He is lightning-fast at entering and/or searching for information. He knows how to find anomalies within the operating system and correct them. He can detect and counter attempts to hack or sabotage the computer system. Ozzrik can (with adequate time and access to a terminal) diagnose and repair problems with the starship’s Artificial Intelligence.

Mathematics: Ozzrik received basic mathematics training, to including up to algebra and trigonometry.
 
Welcome to SARP!

First off, new players start at the bottom, it's just how we work, nothing against anyone.

Also, usually we have the history before the skills. Also, what is this "Class" thing you've added?
 
Thanks for the welcome!

I got class from the Character Creation Guide. It was in the steps when I created the character and it was in the format it told me to copy and paste into my bio when I posted it.

Is there something else I'm missing? or should take out? should I list my starting gear? where should I be stationed? (I know I'm full of questions.)

I've made the other edits you suggested as well as added some pieces to the history.
 
I edited that portion about the OS. Hope it still has approval.

I basically copied four of those skills from the character creation section as they said they were necessary for any soldier. This guy is a soldier, a smart one. He's not super intelligent, but he's studied, he's aware but not afraid to get dirty. Let me know if I should tweek my skills to represent that. I tried to build his rougher side in his history.

EDIT: Going over the info you provided, I'd like to switch out Engineering for Survival, while this has already been approved, can I go ahead and do this?


Thanks
 
I figured, I apologize for the confusion, I kept forgetting that the new CCG didn't allot for the other militaries. I believe the skill set you wish for is:
Military Occupations of Nepleslia Page said:
Computer Systems Officer

The following is added to/replaces the basic Information Technology skill:

Information Technology

The character has in depth knowledge of either the D.E.I.M.O.S. or NSA OS. He can operate any computer system that uses it, including all Star Military starships. He is lightning-fast at entering and/or searching for information. He knows how to find anomalies within the operating system and correct them. He can detect and counter attempts to hack or sabotage the computer system. The character can (with adequate time and access to a terminal) diagnose and repair problems with the starship’s Artificial Intelligence.

The approval still holds, just have to make the adjustment for the other military he's supposed to join is all. We can exchange the skills sets out for the correctly worded ones.
 
Thanks, I made some edits.

I switched out Engineering for Survival, hopefully making him more of Marine. I also edited the tech skill for accuracy.
 
Swanky. =) Wes started the format for the wiki page for you. So all you have to do is register to use the wiki and enter the info.

As far as plots we have two: Cirrus Station and the Nerkat.

The crew of the Nerkat are currently on shore leave (a couple are on Starbase Hayes and the rest are in Los Apagos) while the folks on Cirrus Station are just settling in. Drop a line in the Comm network or the appropriate plot's OOC thread and we'll get this party started. =)
