Heyooo! So, I know I'm fashionably late to this little shindig, but I'm hoping you have room for one more lost soul on Solaris? It looks like so much fun, I would LOVE to get in on this!
Here's what I got, of course I'm open to changes. Let me know what you think! And of course if it's too late to join up because it would be too hard to integrate a new character into the story, I totally understand.

Name: Damian Alekzander Vilochenza
Callsign: Fisheye
Date of Birth/Age: July 9, 3006/ 25

Current Mech: Blackjack BJ-1DB (secondhand, Mercenary owned, damaged leg armor and gyros, one LL and ML inoperable pending electrical repair, persistant unpleasant odor and several suspiscious stains in cockpit) painted garishly yellow with the words "Mr. Sunshine" painted on the chassis. Apparently the previous mercenary owner had a weird sense of humor, or a death wish. Or both. At least it was relatively cheap. There is also a small, reinforced lockbox in the cockpit that the previous owner failed to give Damian the combination to. This also seems to be where the odor is coming from.

House Affiliation: Former Liao
Military History: Mech pilot since '28, participated in 4th Succesion War, former member of the 3rd Chesterton Voltigeurs, 2nd Battalion (disbanded) Ranked Lance Corporal

Physical Description: Height: 6'0 Weight:150lbs Hair Color/Eye Color: Sandy Blond/Green Complexion: Light
Personal Belongings- Various Civilian clothes, CCAF flak vest and boots with unit emblem patches, small stack of letters from home, hardened ceramic brass knuckles, small basic med kit, 2 packs of St. Ives Smoothies cigarettes, steel lighter with the planetary flag of Highspire and12k C-bills
Notable Caracteristics- Smoker. Large burn scars across upper back/shoulders; Left forearm and hand reinforced with steel rods after reconstructive surgery, resulting in noticeable lack of fine motor control and lowered pain sensitivity; 2 Tattoo's present, one with script reading "Noblesse Oblige" on the ribcage underneath the right pectoral muscle, the other displaying the 3rd Chesterton Voltigeurs unit Emblem on the left deltoid.

Open Background: Born on Highspire as the oldest of 3 to a mid ranked civil servant and a succesful doctor, both fully fledged Capellan citizens, Damian was instilled at a young age with a strong sense of duty and patriotism. He dreamed of becoming a Mechwarrior and serving the Capellan Confederation. His family, however, lacked the money and military connections necessary to send him to a prestigious military academy, despite his high grades and volunteer record. Damian enrolled in the Sarna Duchy RTC at 18, and excelled in Mech combat, tactics, and battlefield triage, and was well liked by both his peers and intructors. Considered the epitome of a wide eyed idealist, Damian was deeply passionate about realizing his dream. In June 3028, one month before his 22nd birthday, Damian graduated the RTC in the top 3% of his class, and was recruited by the Chesterton Reserves. His first deployment was to the 3rd Chesterton Voltigeurs, 2nd Battalion on Tikonov, where he recieved his first Battlemech, a Commando, and his first assignment on July 20th... A mere month before the start of the 4th Succesion War.
After the war ended, Damian refused to return to Highspire, considering himself a disgrace to his family and the Confederation, and feeling like he still had a duty to perform. After a year of searching the stars for a purpose, he decided to head to Solaris, where he could find glory and honor in either life or death. He sold his now battered Capellan Commando and, using the rest of his military pension, bought a used Blackjack and a ticket to Solaris.

Deep Background: During the War, the 3rd Chesterton Voltigeurs were involved in some of the heaviest urban fighting on Tikonov. On New Aragon, the unit was betrayed by multiple officers who defected to the Davion side, including Damian's own Lance Commander, resulting in staggering losses and forcing the survivors to surrender. The year Damian spent wandering after the war, he was actually searching through the criminal underworld of the newly conqured planets for his former commander to exact revenge. He finally recieved information that there was someone on Solaris who could help him. A slim hope, but it was his only lead. Due to the horrors Damian witnessed during the war, his faith in his dreams, his ideals, and himself, have all been greatly shaken. He is struggling to reconcile his deep set idealism with his new reality. He is now quite afraid of taking part in urban combat due to his experience on Tikonov, becoming hot tempered and agitated. He will risk his life to save civilians at any cost.

Dude.... How can I say no to any of that. *Stamps Approved on app*

I'm pretty sure Mr/Mrs. ? FoxyFlashbang has an idea.. If nothing else I'm sure his/her (you a chick or a dude, Foxy?) character will see DeMarkus on 'Solaris Sportscenter.' our characters have fought in the same battle planet afterall.... Or he could bump into us at Samuel's tea shop.

[Thom Frankfurt]

So..... how we gonna do this? RP our time at the tea shop or just say we did it?

[Sparks Murphey]

I figure we RP it, just so we introduce Voss to the the main storyline.

[RogueSpear]

Sounds good to me Sparks, let the good times roll.
Also, yay, two Liao war heroes

[FoxyFlashbang]

Bahahaha lets say for the sake of WTF that im both! Besides, its the internet, girls are guys, guys are girls, and everyone just watches lolcats all day.
I actually didnt think that far ahead lol, I guess however you guys want to do it is okay with me, ill catch myself up with the story so far and find a nonretarded way to stick myself in (thats what she said...?)

[Thom Frankfurt]

Lovely opening post, Foxy.

[G is for Gamma]

First DigiP has the coolest opening post in Oni's RP, and now Foxy has the coolest in the Solaris thread. All my thunder, its been stolen.

[RogueSpear]

Not to ruin their thunder...but what's Oni's RP and who's DigiP?

[G is for Gamma]

The "Last Chance is here and Now" Oni Storm's Role Play

DigitalPanther (Or DigiP as I've trademarked him as of now) had a pretty sweet post of him chasing a Cicada while on a motorbike.

...before having a moment of "Whoa, what the blazes am I doing?", before then having a realisation that the answer was "being a bad a$$" and kept doing it.

[RogueSpear]

...I...Is it too late to join?

[guardian wolf]

I don't think so, I mean *shrugs* he let me in.

[Haggard]

Pretty interesting idea of social interaction between the players.
But I presume it will be mostly for the die-hard fans of the franchise? Since greenhorns like me don't know enough about timelines, houses and all the other important stuff in this universe.
Think I'll just be keeping an eye out for those little tales, maybe I can catch up.

[Thom Frankfurt]

These 'social interactions' as you put them are pretty nice. It allows up to kick around ideas, share insights/rants/raves and make fun of GW... That and we can explain our characters view on things without hogging up lots of space in the 'in game' forum. Oh and Rogue and I can explain just what the Heck DeMarkus and Jack are saying sometimes.

[RogueSpear]

Having an OoC thread like this is great for an RP. Means everything is in the open where people can read it without cluttering up the thread itself and ruining the readability.
Not that hidden messages behind the closed doors of the PM system to the GM don't have their place...

[Haggard]

Hm, guess I 'should' give it a try then. I like RP after all.
Would a Centurion be okay, or would it conflict with any of the rules? Could take a Spider for the laughs of it.

And I read in the forum that non-English language would be okay, with a translation of sorts, which could work for me as well as my character. After all English is not my native tongue (as you all probably guessed by now), and I think it could make for some interesting RP due to misinterpretation of phrases and such.

So far (haven't read all the posts of the story yet) it sounds pretty interesting.

And we can have the weirdest convos going on, though I will say, killing a mech with a barstool was the craziest, and coolest idea I have heard so far, funny too!

[RogueSpear]

It's gonna be a thing.

[guardian wolf]

Knowing you Rogue, it probably will.
