Hey. New guy. Sup. (Apologies in advance if this post is a bit much packed with stupid, allnighter on Xmas = auto-lose.)
So first of all, allow me to pay my respects - you're all crazy. Freakin nutjobs. And nerds too. Crazy nutty nerdy nerds.
But you can take that as a compliment! Seriously, I bow to thy nerditude. Such nerd(izzle)ism I have nary seen in all my travels of yonder intarwebnets. Izzle.
*ahem* Err yeah, the jist of what I'm trying to get across here is I might be a little lost. The sci-fi setting (in RP and just in general) is a little foreign to me, and a lot of these posts have me scratching my head more than a little bit. Elves and dragons and lolipop castles were so much simpler (But I'm beginning to see why the fantasy setting is such a draw for the more... noobishly inclined who tend to shitcock matters up a smidge.)
But! That doesn't mean I'm not gonna give it a go. The stuff I have managed to decipher looks pretty exciting, and it definitely seems like something I wanna take part in - besides which I just get a really fuzzy feeling from the community. =^_^=
That is, if you'll have me. Not that I feel like I need to ask permission, I'm just a little wary of making a commitment (which I don't often do) and then slowing up the RP cause I don't gots the techno-knowhow....... how now.............. brown cow........................... bow chika-wow...... (*facedesk* Wah, focus!)
So, yeah, like, are there many new players in my situation? Right now (and for a good portion of the night) I've been slaving over character sheets and info pages trying to flesh out the character concept I've got bouncing around in my head, but it's not really slotting together with the utmost of smoothity (and, well, I'm easily distracted, if you hadn't noticed :>).
That is, I've been able to nail his personality and appearence, and most of his history (few points I'm unsure on, but I'll take that to the questions board), but I'm having a little trouble with his occupation. To fit with his personality, I really want him to have a (relatively) non-combat role, but I also want him to be stationed on a Star Army ship. The closest I can reckon is to make him a doctor - and that actually fits with his demeanor really well - but my knowledge of medicine is about as limited as my knowledge of sci-fi *grins*. I could read up on it a bit to be prepared, only I'm not entirely sure what exactly I'd need to know to play the role effectively (and I don't wanna be reaching for a manual every time someone gets a splinter from their pistol's highly customised wooden stock or stubs their toe climbing into a battle mech ). Also, I'd have some questions more specific to the game universe - which type of medical tools are used, differences in anatomy and bodily functions of the various races, etc - which I'm sure could be answered but I haven't found the info readily available anywhere just yet.
Hoi... but I'm slowly starting to realise that I'm probably making a mountain out of a molehill here. I mean really, the original purpose of the thread was just to say 'hey', so I kinda dicknippled that up pretty good. :?
Oh well - hey, nice to meet you all.
*yawn* Blergh, sleep deprivation catching up on me. Any help would be appreciated, or even just a friendly hidley-ho to reinforce that fuzziness *bats eyelashes*.
Oh, and sorry if this was more suited to the questions board, it was meant to be more of a general musing/combined introduction than inquiring about anything in specific, but move if it you gotta.
Ahem. I shut up now.
