If that's all you need, here you go then:

Astral Harmony · 11-14-2008, 08:58 PM

Got 'em, thanks.

And now, just so nobody's confused, I present a brief rundown on the various crew members and some others.

Radian: Army Lieutenant. A Breaker-class centaur assigned to your unit. Uses a Heavy Lance (3 LP), two studded horse shoes (2 LP), and a hand axe (1 LP). She loves battle and feels truely honored to serve her kingdom.
Rem: Civilian. Highly renowned as a war historian and tactician. Not as well known for being a capable Rusher in her own right, since she doesn't like to fight. Assigned to the search and rescue unit in order to provide sound tactics and knowledge one couldn't find so easily anywhere else.
Shevenston: Supreme Commander of All Military Forces. Former king of Galvantyne, he lost his throne due to a scandal involving Red Island and Queen Viris, but the governments have more or less kept it pretty hush-hush. He is one of your search and rescue objectives.
Rosalith: Crown Princess of Galvatyne Kingdom. The biological daughter of former King Shevenston and Queen Viris. She is the other of your search and rescue objectives.
Finchfield: Navy Admiral. The Commanding Officer aboard the GKS Luguro. A man who has an aged face with strong muscles and a big, healthy body.
Ming: Army Colonel. Commanding Officer of the Red Island border base. She was the one who originally suggested the members for the search and rescue unit for Queen Viris to approve. There's gotta be some special reason she chose powerful individuals at random.
Lulu: Army Lance Corporal. Assigned to keep Leraje the Storm under anti-magic guard until he is released on Red Island. Wears special (illegal?) armor that completely nullifies all magical effects to its wearer. Is a member of the underground resistance movement called the Kingdom's Crusaders.
Tristam: Army Sargeant. Assigned to keep Leraje the Storm under anti-magic guard until he is released on Red Island. Wears special (illegal?) armor that completely nullifies all magical effects to its wearer.
Bertz: Navy Petty Officer 1st Class. Assigned to serve Beladere. He's gotten quite used to Beladere's perverse mannerisms but isn't a pervert himself. Despite being joked about having a clinical problem resulting in not having a humor, he can pitch a joke every now and again.
Ezra: Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class. Works the crows nest. She's willing to do anything (and I mean anything) to increase her own knowledge and power. She may be a blonde, but there's something ticking up there. She is Luco's younger twin sister.
Saren: Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class. She and Lieutenant Radian are distantly related. She works mostly as a sponsor for new transfers to the GKS Luguro.
Nyam: Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class. A young catgirl who has apparently crushed hard on Douglas. Maybe he's charmed her with his powers without realizing it?
Luco: Navy Petty Officer 2nd Class. Works in crew accountability. He knows every member that has been assigned to the search and rescue unit, and is a growing fan of Akane. His girlish face and long blonde hair has often gotten him mistaken for a girl, though he's mature enough not to have a complex about it. Ezra is his younger twin sister.
Richard: Navy Petty Officer 3rd Class. Stubborn when it comes to wooing the ladies. He's certainly not the best at it, but even an asshole like this guy can get laid if he asks enough girls.

Where did that come from?! Did Rudy hear that? Is that some random quote from a show? Is Rudy getting the TV across the hall?

Those are the Kimonos, the resident NPC squad, we'll probably be meeting them shortly, but they probably aren't on the boat.

It was humor. Laugh.

ApatheticFoxboy · 11-15-2008, 04:19 PM

I'm not saying it wasn't hilarious. I'm just saying it threw me for a loop.

Astral Harmony · 11-15-2008, 07:55 PM

Yeah, it was my bad for not throwing in a "meanwhile, elsewhere..." or something before the dialogue.

All I can say is, it's not an Armored Bishoujo RP if those cute and curvaceous kunoichi aren't somewhere in it. Still, they're quite far away, and it probably won't be until after Rosalith and Shevenston join the party that you'll first see 'em, which is likely when the party will gain at least one of 'em.

I'm about to start working on sprites for the other players. Between taking naps and designing the Radian sprites (imagine Locke's head from Final Fantasy VI on Terra's body which is then stripped of its legs and combined with a headless horse sprite from Harvest Moon), I've been takin' it slow.

ApatheticFoxboy · 11-17-2008, 11:40 PM

That was profoundly unexpected. I forgot cat girls have fangs. Fuck me.

Astral Harmony · 11-18-2008, 05:46 PM

Shit, I thought that was actually your intention.

Oh, well. A vampire catgirl sounds kinda hot, actually.

Gender: Male

I hate to be a douche, but that looks like the kind of profile someone would set up as a joke to make me waste time typing up all the things that are wrong with it. First of all, it isn't particularly inspired, which makes me think that your posts in the RP will be much of the same.

Let's begin with Class. Rushers only get 4 LP for weapons. Your grand total comes out to 8, which is more than Rushers could get even if all 6 of their LP could go to weapons.

Rushers cannot wield long range weapons. The guns and bow cannot be in there. And if you just did away with those, then you'd only have 3 LP in weapons, which is within the acceptable range.

I can assume you've put both of a Rusher's magic LP into Lightning (Advanced)? Sure, that works.

As for the appearance, is that all? I mean, is he nekkid? Muscular? Maybe some tattoos or something?

Your personality of just "leader" doesn't really go with your backstory. I don't think "leader" when I think of a Cherokee who's been all alone on a deserted island and is just surviving. Heck, given a story like that, it's much easier to think of him as a loner who is extremely self-sufficient is cold towards other people. And I don't see "guns" when I see Cherokee survivor, either. A bow? Yeah, but even still, no ranged weapons for Rushers.

Basically, the profile makes it appear that you aren't very inspired to be the character you just created, which makes it seem like you'd just jump into the RP, lay down one or two posts, get bored and be gone before I can get around to producing a sprite of you. Please, if you care about participating in this RP or in others, you have to have the heart to want to be in the RP, and that starts by producing a character that you'll want to play and the GM will want to see in his or her RP.
