Methinks you need to buy her a cheap netbook to keep her occupied...
Either way, just leave messages. We'll get back to you - though you may have two or three hundred messages to trawl through looking for the answers.

@Rogue, would luv to check skype, but as I'm borrowing a Mac to write right now at all till my laptop arrives, if ever. I'm kinda stuck at a loss from being able to use it. So you guys will have to bear with me till then, sorry. At least I'm back for now though :D Let's hope the internet and Mac gods are kind till then, though. :wub:

Sorry I had to reply to Thom and Drew. I'll edit in more of the conversation with Azman once I know what we will discuss. Just didn't want us to be left out of that scene for too long. :)

hello. um, for the conversation with azman prior to reaching the mess hall, since the events of the night before can be read up by readers in the RP, any repeat would be a repeat. (But character azman is duly grateful to alexi for getting him up to speed) Feel free however Oni if you like to input Alexi's thoughts on the previous night's events or use the lull of the walk to the mess hall to develop Alexi further. If at present character azman and alexi is at the mess hall and have joined thom and andrew (with apologises for intruding) then, character azman will remain quiet, eating his can of beans. (ie in RL and at a blank as to what to write again. B) ) Feel free to converse on all and sundry (upcoming mission, past lives, the case of the missing Jon and Gant ^_^ ) and dont let quiet azman hold you. :)

Hopefully I'll be back online in the next couple of days, if I don't manage that then I'll probably be offline for the foreseeable future, probably not returning until ~the third of January. As soon as I get my laptop back, expect me to be squeezing out posts as soon as I've caught up and can scrape the time :D
And if I don't catch y'all before it, Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

The year is 3063, and the 2nd Company of the Rogue's Armoured Irregulars, 'Angelus' Company, is mustering at Outreach for an offensive.
The target is undisclosed, but in addition to the mechs of their second company, the Irregulars are fielding 4 squadrons of Vulcan fighters and two mighty Pinto class corvettes, RAIV Myrmidon and RAIV Valorous . Rumours on Outreach indicate that they have attempted to contact their old allies, the Green Hearts infantry company for ground support.
Stranger still, they seek to hire a mixed mercenary unit from those present on Outreach. Several corps have offered units, eager to be involved as the Irregulars have indicated a high pay check - but none have been accepted. Edging towards desperation, several lone wolves have begun to drift together, warriors who barely know each other's names jumping into simulators to log some hours together before seeking an interview.
But even the hardiest of warriors, despite the rumoured riches to be had are nervous. Where does a merc corp get not one, but two WarShips? Why have they turned away such notables as the Dragoons who run Outreach, despite prior working relationships? Why are Irregulars often seen escorting or being escorted by Comstar Adepts?
So far, the only man who knows for sure is Captain Vantas Strider. The eccentric mechwarrior seems to be in charge, despite holding the same rank as both corvette captains. At the least, it's his name on the recruitment ads.
The recruitment ads that read simply:




This RP is by invite only. If you want to join, PM me and I'll consider it - but most likely, I won't be accepting any additional players. Unless Nor Azman shows up, in which case, his acceptance, should he choose to ask to join, is guaranteed.
All players must post at least every three days, or give us warning here and allow yourself to be NPCed by me/another player. This is a test to see if we can get people posting regularly and keep the RP rolling, so while I know RL gets in the way sometimes, let's avoid it breaking the RP Posted Image
If people disappear for two weeks from the forum, I'll have to kill off/incapacitate the character.
Also, I shall handle all plot - this is GM led, so no throwing extra things into the RP without discussing it with me first Posted Image
More importantly, don't be afraid to discuss stuff with me Posted Image
Vodka, I know I've officially mentioned the Green Hearts, but you don't need to play 'em if you don't want to. Easy enough to say they were busy/didn't want the job.
So invited players, begin your posting! Those of you with bios, get 'em up. Those without, make them, get 'em up.

Characters:
Adrianna Delfino - Centurion CN9-D, modified - Sparks Murphey
Jon Lee Yu - Komodo KIM-2 with C3 - Durgan Carlyle
Thom Frankfurt - Blackjack BJ-0 configured as Alt D -Thom Frankfurt
Juri Kutsuu - Stalker STK-3F - MacabreDerek
Garland Alan Henderson-McCoy Jnr. - Catapult CPT-C3 - Gammadin
Alexi Auburn - Wraith TR1 - Oni Storm
Lauri/Larry (Make up your mind, are you a bloke or a chick?) - Infantry Sergeant - Vodkaviator
Azman - Vulcan VT-5S - Nor Azman

Mr. Rogue, I'm now rolling in an Akuma.

Alright boys and girls, we're back.
So here's the plan: We're going to be doing one big post where we pick up a new player at Coventry and then moving straight to Waldorff. While I'll be moving things straight ahead to Waldorff, I do heartily encourage folk to post about what they're doing prior to the final jump - just keep it to a single posting please. Length of these posts of course, is entirely up to yourselves :D
I am very sorry for the delay in restarting, but by the end of March I'll have the big post off the ground. If there's anything you want to get in before we move on from the current timeline, best get it in soon!

Hi everyone!

I feel privileged to be included in the RP, really enjoyed reading it up to this point. I'll try to write to keep my writing up to scratch.
I've drafted up a profile for the character to be picked up on Coventry, apologies for the long post, I get a bit obsessive with the lore once I start researching.

Here he is!


Name:Cees Thomas Anthonissen-Bradbury (now Cees Anthonissen)
Callsign: White Wolf
Role:Tactician,heavy recon.
Gender:Male
Date of Birth: 3038
Age: 25
Planet of Birth:Coventry (Lyran Alliance/FedCom)
-Appearance-
Height: 180cm
Weight: 75kg
Hair Color: White
Hair Style: Side-parted classic military cut (1940s era combed back)
Ethnicity: Germanic/Scandinavian
Eye Color: Pink
Build: Light, wiry build. Tone but no bulk. Surprisingly agile for his appearance.

Background: Cees was born and raised on Coventry into the privileged life of the Duke’s household. A product of an arranged marriage to cement industrial ties with a planet in the now Free Rasalhague Republic, Cees strongly resembles his Scandinavian ancestors. Distinctively though, he is an Albino. Growing up an oddity in the Duke’s household, but otherwise mostly ignored in favour of his older and much more socially able sister, he had no early aspirations to becoming a mechwarrior. Prince Victor Steiner-Davion visited often in the years following the initial clan invasion, cementing ties with the Duke Thomas Fredrick Bradbury. His sister Stasia hero worshipped the Prince and aspired to his success. Cees fast came to resent the favouritism and attention granted to Stasia, choosing to follow her into the Coventry Military Academy to focus on academics and command in an effort to show her up. Shunned by most of his fellow students for his appearance and over-defensive disposition, he took mech training as a calculated attempt to gain influence and prestige over his peers. He reasoned that dedication to studying past engagements and tactics would provide him an intellectual advantage over most on the mock battlefield.
Spending countless hours in simulators and pouring over Inner Sphere military history, and more recent clan traditions and tactics, he quickly came to out-smart and out-maneuver his peers. Gradually, he began to gain their begrudged respect, much to his selfish sister’s frustration. Accelerated to Stasia’s grade and due to graduate at the same time, their competition became fierce.

The Jade Falcon Incursion of March 3058 gave the siblings their wish to prove themselves in combat, but in a way they could never have imagined. The clan forces swept through Port St Williams, seeking to take the Academy. The most senior student, the teachers entrusted her over him for a command position during the evacuation. Cees was thrust into the background again, fiercely hating being deprived of the chance to show his potential. His jealousy was humbled before the clan onslaught however, heavy fighting between unblooded clan warriors and his fellow students and teachers forced upon him the harsh realities of warfare. Reading the fight and staying out of danger, he watched his classmates, teachers and budding friends slaughtered as they gave ground. Realising too late his own cowardice and pettiness, he rushed in to assist.Taking heavy damage to his Phoenix Hawk while covering his sister’s lance’s retreat, he was forced to eject. Attempting to flee the city, he was quickly tracked down,injured and captured.
Detained and taken as a bondsman for curiosity by his defeater, a swift counter-attack by the Coventry Provincial Militia to liberate captured civilians freed him once more. Returning to the Militia’s headquarters, he then learned that the counterattack had been led by his sister. Hailed as a hero, and refusing to admit that Cees had in fact saved her from a similar fate to his own, Stasia basked in her victory. The personal revelation of his first battle forgotten, Cees’s hatred of his sister began anew.

During the following weeks he helped educate the resistance on clan tactics, allowing the resistance to mount an effective guerilla campaign. When Steiner re-enforcements arrived, the remaining resistance fighters linked up to form a counterattack. Still recovering from his injuries, Cees insisted he fight. Giving captured clan mechs over to the Steiner commanders, they in turn awarded his ingenuity with a new Uziel-2S, straight from the Defiance production lines. Not to be outdone, Stasia lead more Militia attacks against the clanners. Deliberately ignoring the advice of her brother during the the Whitting raid in the closing stages of the conflict, Stasia was killed “protecting” a flank of the raiding party. In death, she was again, hailed a hero and was granted a state funeral once the Jade Falcons were negotiated into a withdrawal.

Ignored once again in favor for recognition of his sister’s “sacrifice”, Cees’ hatred boiled over.
Rejecting his noble status and name, over the few years since, Cees has travelled throughout the sphere, using his cunning to get by. He has honed his skills as a schemer and planner of everything from elaborate cons to military raids, earning the alias “the White Wolf”. Recently outsmarted, double-crossed and taken for nearly everything he owns, he has returned depressed to Coventry to retrieve his valuable Uziel. Torn between returning to the potentially lucrative cockpit of a mech but having to face now long buried demons and selling his last connection to his home, he is currently keeping a low profile, planning and debating to steal his own mech back from storage with his family.

Cees passively appears quiet, cold and calculating. Coupled with his distinct and strange appearance, this is unsettling for most people. He will refuse to give any personal information beyond his current profession or the job at hand, appearing slightly nervous when pressed. He will however attempt to socialise anyway, trying awkwardly to make conversation. Ego driven, any attempt to appear smarter than him will crack his poker face however, angrily challenging or demeaning whoever dares.

-Mech-
Uziel - 2S Stock.
Mech Class: Medium
Mech Model: UZL-3S
Mech Loadout: 2x PPCs
1x SRM 6
2x Machine Guns
Engine: GM 300 XL, top speed 97.2 kph
Endo Steel chassis
Beagle Active Probe, Intermediate sensors
11 Double Heat Sinks
6 x Rawlings 50 Jump jets, 180m effective jump range
8t armour

Cees barely touched his Uziel-2S after the final stages of the conflict. It was repaired and re-armoured before being placed into storage, however it still shows pockmarked scars of battle damage across its otherwise pristine paint job. Originally intended as a replacement mech for a Wolf’s Dragoon regiment accompanying the Steiner reinforcements, it is still painted in classic gunmetal with, ironically for Cees, distinctive white warpaint on the sides of the cockpit module, emulating but not quite matching the wolf unit insignia of the Wolf’s Dragoons. Despite limited experience with the mech itself, Cees’ would only require limited time either in the mech or simulator to become re-acquainted and back up to scratch with his piloting, his excellent memory for detail hastening the process.
