Pilot Academy Sign-up
 

In the year 2069, an artifact was found in space that changed humanity forever. This artifact, called a "Jumpgate" allowed ships the ability to travel faster then the speed of light to another Gate. Over the next 40 years, humanity has spread out over 20 light-years from Earth, and the Earth Space Forces was created to protect ships, stations, and colonies from raider attacks and the like. Around Mars, one of several Training Academies is busy training a new crop of pilots for it's Starfighter Corps.....

NOTES: I'll be putting up tech info and such in a diffrent thread. Also, you can't fly your own ship, and everyone has to fly the same type of fighter. There are five slots, and they'll come on a first-come, first-served basis.

Name: Inyri Sarni
Cassign: Coldfire
Age: 19
Apperence: See attachment,
History: Not much it known about Inyri, especally her first ten years of her life. From what IS known, though, is that she was in an accadent on board a science ship, and two people, presumed to be her parents, were found dead, and Inyri injured, so she was taken to Mars for treatment. Afterward, she was adoped and raised by her adoptive mother. From a young age, she's displayed a natural ability to fly, and when she's in the cockpit, she als oseemes to be a completely diffrent person, Becoming much more animated and emotional then normal. Otherwise she's extremely quiet, and she always has a laptop computer with her that she built herself.

Name: Gabriel "Gabe" Robeson (not my real name mind you)
Age: 18
Appearance: Usually found wearing a white vest to conceal weapons, standard issue pants, Black shoes, always with a knife, black hair, brown eyes.
History: Was always interested in the thought of interstellar combat. He grew up on Earth and was soon forced away from his old life when his parents and brother were murdered. He took 14 bullets for his girlfriend when he fought off four thugs, killing three (fourth killed by police). Saved from the brink of death in hospital. Enlisted in Training Academy in late 2108. Very outgoing, likes to make friends with other pilots, but also never likes to be shown up. Girlfriend killed in raider attack.

Name: John "JC" Cober
Age: 20
Appearance: Black hair, brown eyes and about 185centimeters tall. Normally wears standard issue clothing. Never go's anywhere with out his sidearm.
History: Flew a fighter in the FinnishAirForce (FAF). When he heard that there where people in space flying spacefighters, people just like him, he knew he had to go. Was one of the best pilots in the FAF. JC has had no traumatic experiences nor nothing special in his past. He enlisted in Training Academy in the mid of 2108.
John pretty much keeps everything to him self though he does like to talk with everybody just not about him self or his problems. Makes friends with other people pretty quiqly.

Name: Truce
Age: 17
Callsign: Rush
Appearance: A blue eyed brunette, the young man is 5'6" and he constantly wears a black headband. Aside from the academy uniform, which he wears almost all the time, his only other set of clothes he wears are a pair of black trousers and a longsleeved blue shirt. I might add a picture later...if I can figure out how to work my crappy scanner.
History: Orphaned since birth and with no records of any family, Truce has no last name. Other than that, noone knows much about how he got to the academy or what happened beforehand. He doesn't like to talk about it.
While not considered the life of any party, he gets along with people and tries to enjoy himself while helping others have fun. He seems to care about people a lot, and will do almost anything to be helpful.
When he enters a cockpit (or simulator), he takes an entirely different personality, refusing to talk except when it is necessary.

Edit: Added Appearance, as well as the callsign.

Um, guys...

I'm in. No sign-up for now, but it'll come.

Edit- Or maybe it'll come sooner than I thought.

Name: Paul O'brien
Cassign: I'll think of it later...
Age: 19
Appearence: About 5'11" with short brown hair and green eyes. Always wears a normal uniform, except for when he goes somewhere, which is rare.
History: Just your average story of a person who wanted to fly something as a kid and somehow maintained the belief through his life. When he finally graduated from high school, he did everything he could to get into the ESF and easily made it in with surprising amounts of skill. He has been honing his skills for only a year and is pretty good, but he still has a way to go. He's generally laid back and doesn't really do much when he's not in a cockpit.

Okay okay, than not 2068...2108. How's that?

Yep. That works.

And one slot left.

Name: Scott Anderson
Callsign: Hazard
Age: 29
Background: Scott Anderson began his career in the middle of the space rush about 12 years ago, working for a company who primarily transported equipment to groups expanding earth's reaches into outer space. Once the frequency of raids and encounters with pirates began to grow, his job shifted towards freelance protection. His piloting and combat ability grew somewhat, but his skills were nowhere near perfect. After one of the raids, his ship was nearly demolished and he was left for dead. With little control of his ship, he was forced to crash land at this very academy. With his only ship gone and his credit account too low for him to return home, there was little choice but to join.

Aw, dark beat me to it I guess.
