Sign Up Black Horizon [M-VLS]

[Corey]

[size=1][list]Take Two[/list]
[i]Note: This is the second time I've done this RPG. It turned out really great the first time, and I'd like to see where it goes with a new crew. All old characters are not allowed, but the players from the last one are welcome to sign up with a new character.
I want only serious writers in this RPG. I want people that will make intelligent posts. I want people that will make more than three line posts. Also this RPG will contain many spoilers about the movie Event Horizon. Turn away if you want to see it through your own eyes on a TV. I suggest you see the movie, but it's not a requirement. With that said...[/i]

The year is [b]2040[/b]. The infamous and revolutionary space ship known as the Event Horizon has disappeared. Powered by an engine that harnessed a black hole, the ship was supposedly able to travel great distances in the blink of an eye. The ship vanished after initiating it's engine somewhere in the vicinity of Neptune. No one knew where it went.

[b]2047[/b]. The Event Horizon suddenly reappeared near where it disappeared and began emitting a distress signal. Dr. William Weir, the creator of the ship and it's unique engine, joined up with the crew of the rescue ship Lewis and Clark, led by Captain Miller. Weir hoped to salvage the ship and save it's crew. Determining where the ship has been for the last seven years was also a must.

Upon arriving, the crew was nowhere to be found. They began setting the ship up for travel back to earth, when people began to die. Some tried to kill themselves while others seem to be killed by an unseen and extremely violent force. The crew was found slaughtered. While attempting to find some record of what happened to the crew, the group found a video recording. It showed the crew immersed in a perverse sexual bloodbath. People cutting holes in each other and ******* the wounds. Sodomy. Strangulation. Everything and anything you could possibly think of. And above it all towered one figure. A man, or so it seemed, with cuts lining his body, eyes carved out. In latin he spoke "Save me from hell."

While still readying the ship for departure, a member of the rescue party informed everyone he made an error in the translation of the latin. "Save yourselves from hell" is what was actually spoken. Dr. Weir, the creator of the ship, eventually became infatuated and obsessed with his brainchild, which was now believed to have traveled to a different dimension. A dimension of chaos and, quite literally, hell. Weir attempted to kill everyone, but three escaped by detaching the part of the ship with the engine from the main part.

When finally back at earth, the survivors awaken to a rescue team of their own. One of the rescuers opens his visor to reveal Dr. Weir. Perhaps the demons hadn't been destroyed.

The events of that mission were never made public, mostly because of the unstable account given by one of the only conscious member of the Lewis and Clark that survived. The man she claimed was Dr. Weir from the rescue crew was named Daniel Moore and looked nothing like the doctor. She was stated insane and taken in for observation.

[b]2101[/b]. The Event Horizon has been detected again. Fully whole, despite the accounts of what happened. It's on a course to earth, as fast as it's normal engines can take it.

Another rescue party has been formed. Another mission has been made to recover the unique ship. The crew hasn't been told what supposedly happened the last time.

[Guest shawnz]

Name: David Castle

Age: 35

Gender: Male

Assignment: Marine (Ex Marine, Security, whatever fits your story.)

Personality: Castle is a man of Iron will and follows orders to the letter; he does things by the book and has little respect for cowards. He is also an excellent leader of men and an experienced solider. He is a heavy drinker, but doens't let it interfere with his work.

Appearance: White male, blue eyes, brown hair. 5 feet 10 inches tall, 170 pounds.

Short Bio: Castle was a long serving US Marine, who has seen action in space and in the North Korean war of 2097. Three years ago shortly after the end of the North Korean war he was dishonorable discharged from the Marine corps.

A woman in a North Korean village stabbed to death one of the men in Castle's squad. Castle subdued the woman with supreme prejudice, and watched, not interfering, as the rest of his squad took their revenge on her- each one of them raping her, until they shot her to death. Castle tells himself that he couldn't have stopped them, even if he had tried. He still has trouble sleeping at night.

Castle spent a year out of work and drunk, bumming around the country, until he was approached by the government about the mission to recover the Event Horizon. He was told he could have his career- his life, and his dignity back, if he went on this highly dangerous and unorthodox mission.

Was all she could remember of her mother, Silvy. Her past has no meaning in memory, but in her heart every bit of past scars will always remain.

xo?...is that a pissy face or hug and kiss?..or am I just being delusional?l :animeshy:

[DragonBlood]

Name: Daniel C. Walker, Danny

Age: 47

Gender: Male

Assignment: Chief Medical Officer

Personality: Daniel Walker is a strange mix of 'take life as it comes' and 'take life by the horns'. He sees each and every day as a new challenge to be over come. He doesn?t complain about problems that come up in his day, he just tries to work them out and get ware he needs to go. He tries to see the bright side of every situation, even when it seems like it couldn't get any worse, but has a bad habit of blaming medical failures on himself. Daniels devoted belief in Christianity shows up in his day to day life, in the little things.

Appearance: a few trips to the beach have given Daniel a slight tan, but nothing impressive. He stands just shy of six foot, and is in good athletic shape. His hair is blonde and his eyes are blue.
He wears a standard issue uniform, with a medical patch above the name tag. He ussually wears the gray jacket open, revieling a simple white T-shirt with a chest pocket. He has a pair of gloves in his jacket and a pocket knife in his pants pocket.
He has a tattoo on his right shoulder that has a fighter jet, space shuttle, and Apollo space capsule in a triangle around earth. Encircling it the words "For you who never made it home...fly forever", and on his left upper arm he has "opps, well you shouldn't need that." around a pair of hands holding a hart, which was from an earlier, drunker time in his career.

Short Bio: Daniel Walker all ways had a hart for saveing lives. he was a volinter at the hospital in Charleston where he grew up, he was a volinter fire fighter also. When he got out of high school he went to a two year college and then joined the NAVY to get an education in medical, little did he know then that he would become a doctor on the moon. He always hated it when some one died that he might have been able to save, even if it wasn't his fault. But every doctor feels that way. Danny thought of space as the worst enemy he had. Things went wrong in space, simple things became big things, big things kill people.
Danny has been on a few rescue missions, he believes that any body who needs to be saved is worth saving, no matter the odds against them. So he has over come his slight fear of space flight to save who ever he can.
When he was offered the position of medical officer for this rescue mission he took it with out question. Daniel knew the record was zero for rescues going that far out, this one would be different.


PS: Sorry about that bio has been fixed...but gladly I finally saw Event Horizon, good movie
PS again: I noticed a lot of security and not many science officers.
I changed Danny to a medical officer if its ok with you, the bio has been changed to fit

[Corey]

[size=1]I know that sometimes it's difficult to keep an eye on all the details, but that's what I'm judging your signups on; the ability to write a short, detailed bio.
It's easy to ramble on for a thousand words or more weaving a characters life onto the page. It takes control and style to pull off a great short bio.

[b]shawnz:[/b] Read the storyline carefully. Then read your post carefully. Other than this semi-significant mistake, it's a great bio.

[b]Tainted Rose:[/b] Assistant to the captain? That would be the Executive Officer, abbreviated XO.

[b]DragonBlood:[/b] There seems to be a slight problem with time in yours. You said that your character was a candidate for the original Event Horizon rescue mission. Yet your character is only 36 years of age. That mission took place 54 years prior to this RPG's time frame. Edit accordingly.[/size]

[RioLaskand]

Name: Dane Kenny

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Assignment: Stealth Ops

Personality: A quiet man, doesn't usually speak unless spoken to. A brilliant mind, but only inputs his ideas when he believes that they will not distrupt the flow of the plan. Takes orders well, and follows them to a fault. Does not particularly enjoy human interaction, but tolerates team members and respects senior officers. He is slightly paranoid, which runs in his family

Appearance: Dane stands at a slim 5' 2". He has a lanky build, but his body is chiseled through years of intense training. His crystal blue gaze pierces through all he sees, and his shaggy brown hair is cropped to a military style cut. He usually wears a fit pair of jeans and whatever T-shirt is clean from the laundry that week. He also always wears a black skull cap and shades to attempt to conceal his identity, and has several different styles of both.

Short Bio:
Dane's family was always broken up. His father had been a military medic that had been thrown into the heat of battle in a pointless war and been gunned down along with the entire unit he was with. His mother had been crushed by this blow to their family, and threw herself into her work as an ER nurse at the city hospital many miles from their home.

As a result of this, Dane grew up a latchkey kid, and quickly got involved in burglary due to his silent nature and good hands. He successfully robbed several wealthy houses and carved out a good fortune for him. He has recently been arrested for carelessly tripping a silent alarm in his latest target.

He now sits in jail. However, an offer has been placed to him; There is a team investigating the mysterious reappearance of a ship, and they need someone for reconaissance and infiltration. If he agreed, he would be let out early and given a large pension for his duties to the country.

The choice is obvious.

[size=1]I'd like to apply, but I will be away for the next week and a half, pretty much. And I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stick with it, although I would certainly like to.

[B]Name[/B]: Steven Howard

[B]Age[/B]: 33

[B]Gender[/B]: M

[B]Assignment[/B]: Maintenance Technician

[B]Personality[/B]: Steven is relatively quiet in new situations, but has a definite penchant for sick humour. He often creeps people out, particularly women, as he has the reputation of being a bit of a pervert. Tends to be a loner, but fits in well with people of his own ilk, and often sucks up to those in charge.

[B]Appearance[/B]: Tall and lanky, often described as weedy and scrawny. He doesn't shave often enough, and the same could probably be said for showering. He has thick, greasy black hair which is around shoulder height. His face is pitted from childhood acne, and he has a scar above his left eyebrow from a brawl with another man over a woman.

[B]Biography[/B]: In his eyes, the scar defaces what he perceived to be a 'beautiful' and 'attractive' face. He bears a definite grudge to the man who scarred him. As a kid he was often bullied and isolated, because he was different. Not an intellectual, and not a charmer, he has little going for him. His practical mind is very good however, and he is a whiz with electronics. Because of the bullying he received as a child, he has a definite attitude that the world owes him. Until recently, he occupied a researcher's position at Harmony Technologies, but the lucrative offer of a great wage for the Black Horizon salvage mission drew him away. Not to mention the chance to get a first-hand view of the legendary BLAX-Weir Anti-Matter Propulsion engine.[/size]

[Raze_3103]

Name: Sarah Johnson

Age: 31

Gender:Female

Assignment: Weapons Engineer

Personality: She is very open, she likes to prove to evryone that she can do what she sets out to, she really loves the look on peoples faces when she tells them what she does. its not everyday you see a girl dismantleing a rocket launcher.

Appearance: She is slim, only a mere 120 lb. She stands at 5' 7", with long birty blond hair, normally kept in a pony tail. Her eyes are a crystal blue, with a small hint of green in them. She normally wears her jump suit around her waist, only keeping her legs in them. She wears a black tank top, or a tight t-shirt.

Short Bio: Sarah went into the army as a weapons specialist, and grew to great standards. After a mere three out of her four year enlistment plan, a special officer came to her and asked if she would take part in a special opeeration. She hapily agreed, mainly because her pay would incerse alot.

She was only going to be a weapons engineer, in case any defensive weapon went on the fritz.She didn't mind, it wasx a way better pace that what she could have been doing when she got out of the military.

[Corey]

[size=1][b]RioLaskand:[/b] There's an issue with time in yours, aswell. If your father was the original mission, he would have concieved your character in 2073, and been at least 70-something years old, taking into consideration the usual age for high ranking airforce officials when they partici[ated in the mission. With successful births being very, very rare when huys are that old, I'd say you need to do a bit of editting. :) I hope that made sense.

[b]Baron:[/b] Whenever you can come into play, please do. You're always welcome, man. :D

[b]Raze_3103:[/b] Grammer and word variety are a must. Your signup is good, but I think if you revised it a little you could clinch a spot in the RPG for sure. Expand your bio just a little bit more aswell.[/size]

[Raiha]

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=DarkOrchid]Name: Lanni Byer

Age: 29

Gender: Female

Assignment: Security Detail

Personality: The only good way to describe Lanni is as a live wire. She's fiery, passionate, quick tempered, and quick witted. She'll take offense as soon as there's an oppertunity, and break the legs of anyone that stops her from getting her satisfaction.

Appearance: Fair skin, slender build, no taller than 5'6". Also in posession of black eyes, dark brown hair, and enough muscle mass to explain her current position. Typically, she wears her uniform, form following function, but when she isn't in uniform, she dresses casually, or doesn't bother with clothes at all.

Short Bio: Lanni was born to be a security officer. She's the type who takes no nonsense off of anyone, and that sort of attitude has rocketed her through the ranks while she was in the military. Her superiors noticed her after a few battles she was in and marked her for this current mission accordingly. However, the reason she has been so successful is that she's never looked back, much less stopped to consider where her actions were leading her.

She's from a dysfunctional family, and basically grew up on her own, but without that sort of raising, or lack thereof, she would've never become the tough as nails officer she is today. So, in short, don't mess with her, stay on her good side, and please, do not deprive her of her guns.[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Malkav]

Name: Maj. Jayceon "Jay" Taylor

Age: 29

Growing up in Compton, Jay grew up in the Santana Blocc Crips neighborhood. He was in on gang activity until his cousin and best friend died. Seeing this, he realized he had no aim in his life and joined the airforce.

In the airforce, Jay became a test pilot for new aircraft and showed great skills. These skills took him to where he is now, a member of the current mission.

With that said...

[b]Name:[/b] Allen Chubbs (:D)

[b]Age:[/b] 42

[b]Gender:[/b] Male

[b]Assignment:[/b] Captain

[b]Personality:[/b] Allen is a very open, caring person. He enjoys meeting new people and making new friends. When captaining his crew in relaxed conditions, he prefers a very loose command structure; having his crew call him Allen. When things get rough he automatically switches back to his Air Force training and imposes the rigid 'Yes Sir' mentality. He'd give his life for his crew without a second thought.

[b]Appearance:[/b] Allen stands at about 6'2" and 220 lbs. He has dark brown hair, and calm, grey eyes. He keeps his facial hair to a minimum, but still looks incredibly scruffy in the morning hours. Several tattoos cover his body, and he has piercing holes, but no jewelry. Allen usually wears a black t-shirt with faded bluejeans. He's well muscular, but still has the look of the gangly kid he used to be.

[b]Bio:[/b] Allen grew up in a heavily Military family. His father was in the Airforce. His grandfather was in the Marines. And his Great Greandfather fought in WWII. After he finished high school, the only option open to him was to join a branch of the armed services. His father wouldn't have it any other way.

He joined the Airforce to half-assedly follow in his fathers footsteps, never planning on making any true career out of it. He went through basic training and began his tour as a pilot of fighter jets. He slowly made his way up the ladder of authority, and found himself a captain of a deep space search and rescue ship with 22 years of service behind him.

[Corey]

Just dropping a line to notify everyone that I haven't forgotten about this.
I've been a bit strapped for time with work and everything lately.
It'll be up in a day or so.
