Many tens of thousands of years ago, in another part of the galaxy an Empire was born. Before that they were broken into ten different factions and were constantly torn apart by multiple wars; eventually this chaos brought about the formation of a High Council with a representative from each faction in an effort to restore peace. And in time it did. This Empire built by a race that called themselves Versilan?s then turned their focus outwards expanding their reach into the depths of space as their technology grew.

At first their efforts were peaceful, but as time went by and they began to also enhance their lifespan through genetics, they began to see themselves as being superior to other races that they had encountered. Corruption began to build from within as people turned their backs on the unpleasant rumors so long as their every wish was fulfilled. And slowly but surely, the High Council became more military in nature, more separate from the common person.

And now for over a thousand years they have been slowly conquering other races, crushing all opposition both from within and from without. They are experts at keeping the common civilian happy and yet recruiting those into their ranks who believe the teachings that other races are inferior and meant to be used to serve the Versilan Empire.

But there are a few who do not agree with those in power, they feel that all life is equal and should not be used by another for personal gain. But their opinion fell on deaf ears and when key dissidents began to disappear, the remaining few who disagreed wisely kept quiet and began to work independently to try and save the other races from being enslaved. Forming a secret society among others who also did not agree with enslaving other races. And thus the Versilan resistance was born.

But in spite of their valiant efforts to protect the other races, so far all attempts to stop the Empire has failed. And many of the few resistance members have fallen victim to the Empire. In an attempt to continue the fight, the leaders of the resistance have started looking outside their own people and have begun to recruit members from those worlds that are threatened. For without help, their task is doomed.

[CENTER]-----------[/CENTER]

Welcome to Silver One. You have just entered a pivotal point in the history of mankind. And only you along with a handful of brave adventurers will be able to determine the outcome. Will the ancient and powerful Versilan Empire finally fall? Or will the Earth become yet another conquest. If you are a member of the Versilan Empire, the balance of power is on your side. Those who would dare to stand in your way are but mere insects to be squashed, pawns that have no value.

If you are a member of the resistance, though the odds are stacked against you, in the last year you have gained new allies, who though they may lack the might of the Versilan Empire, they make up for it in knowledge and spirit. And a keen determination to succeed no matter what the cost to themselves. Only one-question remains and that is? which side are you on?

[CENTER]-----------[/CENTER]

Now before you answer that question, there are some things you need to know. For starters, Silver One is based off of my current story running in the OB Anthology which can be located here: [URL=http://www.otakuboards.com/showthread.php?t=53768][B][COLOR=RoyalBlue][U]Silver One[/U][/COLOR][/B][/URL] However, knowledge of this or having read it is not required. Although the story is picking up where I will have left off, knowing what happened before will not be necessary as the main characters from that story are already assigned to members who have read it. Everything will be included in their signups and in the opening posts.

As for which side you decide to join, there are a few details that will help you make that choice. Other than the Versilan Empire, no other known race has the ability to travel through space. Or rather they lack the ability to travel to other sections of space or planets that are inhabited. Nor are there any races that are not humanoid in appearance. The reason for this is something that will be revealed during the course of the story.

Also you have the chance to create two characters to play. You do not have to decide immediately, as you can start with one and then later create another one. Most of the people who have already decided to join the battle are already controlling two characters, myself included. I also intend to follow a format where any player who for whatever reasons is unable post, their character will become missing in action. You can do this on purpose if you have exams coming up. You can send your character on a mission and then re-join the story when you return. If you are unable to return, your character at that point will either stay missing, or will be killed in action.

[CENTER][B][SIZE=3]Sign ups[/SIZE][/B][/CENTER]

[B]Name:[/B] Pretty much anything you want. I have been using English names for the Versilan characters for the simple reason that it?s easier for me to follow. So feel free to use whatever type of name you are most comfortable with.

[B]Age:[/B] The range I am looking for is anywhere from sixteen to two hundred. Sixteen being the youngest one can enter the Versilan military and two hundred being the oldest for enlisting in the Versilan military.

If you are human the age is eighteen to fifty years old.

[B]Gender: [/B]Male or Female.

[B]Race: [/B]Versilan or Human. Either one is fine.

[B]Loyalty: [/B]This is where you decide if you are a member of the Versilan Military or of the underground resistance. You could also be on the fence, working for one side or not at all and yet still not certain if you are loyal to either cause. Perhaps you are a trader who is loyal to profit instead of a government.

[B]Description: [/B]Pictures are acceptable; however keep in mind that they must be humanoid in appearance. Anime is acceptable so long as there are no wings, cat ears, tails, or things along that nature. Again, as I mentioned before there is a reason for this that will be revealed later in the story.

Also, all Versilan?s have silver colored eyes. I realized that finding pictures of characters with that color would be difficult. So whatever color your character does have will be what they use when the character has a need to visit other planets. Like Earth for example. Someone with silver eyes would look very strange.

If your character is human, then the color doesn?t matter.

[B]Weapons:[/B] Primitive weapons are a definite no no if your character is a Versilan. The Versilan?s have long since left swords, knifes and other such weapons behind. Hand to hand combat since the average Versilan is much stronger than other races and laser/disruptor weapons are what the military prefers to use. Special high tech explosives are also used, but they are strictly regulated and only officers receive the necessary training to be able to use them.

Bullets and other such primitive weapons are strictly forbidden on any ship and thus no character would really use them. However that doesn?t mean there aren?t many versions of laser/disruptor-based weapons. This is really more of a brief description of what types of weapons you have been trained to use.

If your character is from Earth, then more primitive weapon skills are acceptable.
[B]
Special Skills:[/B] Is your character a doctor? An officer? Or a computer programmer? If you are with the resistance, are you in the Versilan Military working as a spy and if so what skills make you a good choice? Or are you on the outside working to recruit more members or find ways to help prepare other worlds to resist the Versilan Empire?

If your character is from Earth, what is their profession?

[B]Personality: [/B]What?s your character like? The only requirement here is that there needs to be some variety among the signups.

[B]Short Bio: [/B]A snippet of what your character is like. It can be a flash back, or a post in the setting you have chosen. It doesn?t have to include everything, but enough to give me a good feel for your character. I?d say about thee to four paragraphs would be a good start.

One other note, it is absolutely [B][SIZE=3]not[/SIZE][/B] required to play two different characters to be a part of this story. You can if you wish too, but please don?t feel like you have to.

Also, if it helps to know, this RPG won?t be following a chapter system, but rather one of an event system. Similar to chapters only there?s no post order. Indifference or I will be posting about major changes in the story line that affect everyone. A banner and a notation indicating this will always head these posts to help avoid any confusion. I intend to leave a lot of leeway in how things progress as I?ve tried to tailor my plot twists to fit different directions to avoid restricting the actual story. I intend to provide objectives that need to be completed, but in addition to that you?ll be able to add a lot of your own ideas into the storyline.

I think that about covers it, if there are any questions feel free to send me a pm, as the underground thread won?t be going up until the actual RPG starts.[/COLOR]

[Horendithas]

[COLOR=DarkRed][SIZE=1][B]Name:[/B] Sandra Tessa Luciana & Jared Waldo Scorer

[B]Age:[/B] Sandra is 50 years old and Jared is 45

[B]Gender: [/B] Sandra is female and Jared is male.

[B]Race: [/B] Both are Versilan.

[B]Loyalty: [/B] The Versilan Empire.

[B]Description: [/B][URL=http://img259.imageshack.us/img259/3407/sandrasl7.png][COLOR=DarkRed]Sandra[/COLOR][/URL] -- [URL=http://img446.imageshack.us/img446/9366/jaredvh2.png][COLOR=DarkRed]Jared[/COLOR][/URL]

[B]Weapons:[/B] Both Sandra and Jason are fully versed in the various forms of disruptors and laser weapons available to the military. Being officers, both of them are also trained to use special explosives. Although they do not use weapons such as swords, guns and other more primitive weapons. Both have received standard training in using such weapons should the need arise. Though their experience is with holographic representations of such weapons and neither one has actually handled a primitive weapon.

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Being a commander of her own battle ship, Sandra is well versed in military tactics and leadership. Being the only daughter of a member of the High Council, she has also received training in politics as she is a likely candidate to replace her father and thus become one of the members who rule the Versilan Empire once her time serving in the military is completed.

Recruited by Sandra to serve as her sub-commander, Jared is also well versed in military tactics. In addition to his training he is also an expert interrogator and is quite ruthless in his pursuit of resistance members.

[B]Personality: [/B] Sandra is resourceful, dedicated and a bit cold at times. She is accustomed to power and has little to no respect for individual rights, even of her own people. Though occasionally she has a warm side.

Jared is ruthless, cruel and takes great pleasure in using others to satisfy his own needs. His dedication to always following through with his duties as a sub-commander before anything else makes him an ideal officer; since unlike others who enjoy tormenting others he never allows his personal agendas to interfere with his sworn duty.

[B]Short Bio: [/B]

Jared stretched as he got up out of bed to get ready for his shift. If felt like only a few days since the resistance had managed to snatch Celestia, Jason, Daniel and Kim from their grasp, not six months. He sighed, in spite of the military?s efforts and the huge bounty on both Celestia?s and Jason?s head, neither one had been captured yet.

He quickly finished his shower and toweled himself dry, another moment to dry his silver blonde hair and then he was back to his room to put his uniform on. A quick check in the mirror to ensure that everything was in place and then he was out the door and on his way to the bridge. He ignored the greetings from the crew as he was thinking about their newest mission.

Now that the encryption program had been re-written to prevent a system wide virus from deleting everything on the ships main computers, they were back on track to finish preparing for the invasion of Earth. If only Celestia hadn?t written that program. Never in the history of the Versilan Empire had a virus been created that could disable a battle ship. Jared sighed unconsciously. That program had resulted in the military revising things and delaying his pursuit of Jason. If it wasn?t for the fact that the High Council wanted her alive, well he would make sure she only lived long enough to regret having ever wrote it.

?[B]Good morning Jared,[/B]? Sandra said as he walked onto the bridge and took his seat next to her.

?[B]Commander,[/B]? Jared replied with a nod of his head.

?[B]Come with me sub-commander,[/B]? Sandra said as she got up and left the bridge.

Jared followed her into the small conference room that was just off of the main bridge.

?[B]Take a seat,[/B]? Sandra said indicating the one across from her as she sat down at the small table.

Jared did as he was told and waited patiently while Sandra logged into the computer terminal located in the table activating a screen built into it in front of both her and Jared.

?[B]I want you to take a look at this report,[/B]? Sandra said as she opened up the file for Jared to read. ?[B]Keep in mind that this is still classified.[/B]?

Jared looked down at the screen in the table, his eyes widening in surprise as he read what was in the report. ?[B]But that would mean,[/B]? he started to say.

?[B]Exactly,[/B]? Sandra said, cutting him off. ?[B]High Command is concerned with this new development and for that reason we are going back to Earth to investigate this matter further. You also have a secondary objective that I will be assigning directly to you. I?ll be sending you the full details later.[/B]?

?[B]And that objective is?[/B]? Jared asked.

?[B]You are to secure Jason?s sister provided she hasn?t already been picked up by the resistance. But our information indicates that she is still on Earth. Commander Crystal will be joining us as well to take care of the other part of your objective once you?ve acquired the earthling[/B].? She said.

Jared smiled. ?[B]Understood commander, I?ll start getting prepared for when we arrive at Earth.[/B]?[/SIZE][/COLOR]

[Rachmaninoff]

[B]Name:[/B] Darren Anderson

[B]Age:[/B] 60

[B]Gender: [/B] Male.

[B]Race: [/B] Versilan.

[B]Loyalty: [/B] Neutral.

[B]Description: [/B][URL=http://img68.imageshack.us/img68/705/darrenfi0.png]Darren[/URL]

[B]Weapons:[/B] Other than to know how to use the most basic of laser and disruptor weapons, Darren has no special weapons skills. He has learned basic hand to hand combat, but not much beyond that. Most of his knowledge in regards to weapons is in knowing how to safely transport and prepare them as occasionally his merchant services are hired to deliver them.

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Darren is a bit of a handy man in that he can fix most basic repairs to his space ship and run the most basic of computer programs as well. Though not a true expert in any field other than transportation, he has a wide range of general knowledge. He also has field experience as a commander. Not for the military but rather for the company he started over thirty years ago.

[B]Personality: [/B] Fairly easygoing, though quick to take offense. Darren has no patience for those he perceives as lazy.

[B]Short Bio: [/B]

Darren stifled a yawn as he oversaw the preparations for jumping into hyperspace. With the increase in activity in regards to the sector of space that the planet Earth was in, the military had become more ridged in their control of independent merchants like himself. Getting the clearance for his current cargo had taken nearly twice as long as it should have. But Darren knew better than to argue. He may have the best armament and weapons on his ship that a civilian was allowed, but compared to one of even the smaller battle ships of the fleet, he was outmatched and the last thing he wanted to do was get on their bad side by being impatient. He stifled another yawn catching the attention of his second in command.

?[B]They sure do like to keep us waiting lately don?t they?[/B]? Mike said.

Darren shrugged, ?[B]You know how it goes, they couldn?t find their mama?s even if you guided them by the hand.[/B]?

Mike laughed and went back to what he was doing.

A few minutes later they received the go ahead. [I]Finally! [/I]Darren thought as he issued the command to enter hyperspace. [I]It?s a good thing this cargo is going to bring us a good profit, otherwise that delay would have really hurt.[/I]

?[B]I?m off to get some sleep, short of a disaster I don?t want to be disturbed.[/B]? Darren said as he got up to leave the small bridge.

?[B]Sure thing commander,[/B]? Mike said. ?[B]It?s not like there?s much of anything between here and our destination. Earth doesn?t count since we don?t stop there anyway.[/B]?

?[B]True,[/B]? Darren replied. ?[B]Still all the activity makes me nervous, especially since they?ve never been so damn picky about giving us clearance for a section of space where the only inhabitants can?t even get to their moon very well.[/B]?

?[B]Or manage to get along.[/B]? Mike snickered. ?[B]Don?t worry, I?ll keep my eyes open for anything unusual.[/B]?

Darren yawned yet again and then left the bridge for his quarters. Any longer and he?d pass out from exhaustion.

[Aaryanna]

[COLOR=Red][B]Name: [/B] Crystal Matheson

[B]Age: [/B] 83

[B]Gender: [/B] Female

[B]Race: [/B] Versilan

[B]Loyalty: [/B] Versilan Empire

[B]Description: [/B] [URL=http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/4361/crystalvy7.png][COLOR=Red]Crystal[/COLOR][/URL]

[B]Weapons:[/B] Crystal commands a smaller battle ship but she is first and foremost a doctor and her training is very basic. She knows how to use the most simple of laser and disruptor weapons but nothing more.

[B]Special Skills:[/B] She is a doctor, specializing in genetics. Until six months ago she served as the ships doctor on commander Sandra?s ship. But after several humans she had modified were rescued by the resistance; she was promoted to commander and given the ship that Daniel use to command. Since then she has been visiting worlds that were taken over by the Empire to make sure that no other halflings like Celestia existed. So far she has found none.

[B]Personality: [/B] She is kind and considerate, and dedicated in the sense that being a doctor comes before worrying about other things. Though sometimes the orders she receives pains her, she always follows through. She's also very blunt and foward.

[B]Short Bio: [/B]

Crystal pulled up the reports on the monitor in her quarters. So far out of the five worlds that had been conquered in the past two hundred years, her investigation had come up empty. Ever since the resistance had rescued the two humans she had modified, High Command had insisted on promoting her to commander in spite of her protests and sending her to make sure no other halflings like Celestia existed.

If a mere halfling who was ran through the speed learning process was able to effectively disable two battleships, and the said person was also from one of the lesser races. Well even Crystal could see the implications. They had to know if she was simply a genius or if the combination of the races had anything to do with it. Hence her mission, if she found any others who were of two races, her orders were to bring them in to High Commands top research facility.

Though she disagreed with them making her a commander for this task, what was she suppose to do once she finished checking the worlds? Even if they did make the position one of a medical nature why did they chose to give her a battle ship instead of one of the medical ships? Crystal put the finishing touches on her reports and sent them off to High Command. Only one place left to check and that was Earth. It hadn?t been taken over yet, but during the past thirty years operatives had worked there quite a bit to get the necessary information before the planned invasion. It was how Celestia had been born. She turned off the monitor and started getting ready for bed. In just a few weeks they would arrive at Earth. [/COLOR]

[GuyYouMetOnline]

[color=darkslateblue][b]Name:[/b] Kiva Salqarian[/color]
[color=darkslateblue]
[b]Age:[/b] 74

[b]Gender: [/b]Female

[b]Race: [/b]Versilan

[b]Loyalty: [/b]Resistance

[b]Description: [/b]Kiva is a rather tall woman, well over six feet in height. She's very good-looking, though not what one would call beautiful. She's in very good physical shape, which one can tell just by looking at her. She has the look of one who's been through quite a bit. In particular, she has a few scars at various places on her body. She preferrs to wear clothing that's loose-fitting, but not baggy.

[b]Weapons:[/b] Kiva's firearm of choice is the HM-SS.7 model gun, the most recent model in the HM-SS series. The HM-SS series of weapons has long been Kiva's favorite. An HM-SS gun is designed for fast access and easy aiming, and the HM-SS.7 model features the addition of a fully automatic fire mode in addition to the series' standard semi-automatic fire mode. In addition, HM-SS power cells are quite long-lasting, as well as easy to replace. However, the HM-SS series' effectiveness is lessened against armored targets. The HM-SS.7 is an excellent anti-personel weapon, but is almost useless against heavily armored targets, such as millitary vehicles (though it works just fine of human millitary vehicles).

The HM-SS series features one uinique characteristic. An HM-SS weapon is strapped onto the user's hand. To fire the weapon, one must first deactivate the safety lock that prevents it from being fired accidentally, which is a risk with the HM-SS series. Instead of a trigger, HM-SS series weapons detect a specific voluntary muscle action, which triggers the weapon to fire. The HM-SS.7 model uses a different muscle action for the autofire mode.
[/color][b]
[color=darkslateblue]Special Skills:[/color][/b][color=darkslateblue] In addition to being quite proficcient with the HM-SS series of firearms, Kalria is also skilled in hand-to-hand combat. She's also good at reading people, and at deceiving them as well. However, she's probably most skilled as a hacker. This skill set makes her very useful as a spy, so that's what she is. She's currently undercover within the Versilan Empire.

[b]Personality: [/b]Kiva is a very resourceful person, and her determination is strong. She can also be pretty stubborn at times. Once she starts something, she will finish it, and she'll probably do so in a way that nobody will see it coming. She's quite inventive. She's also quite intelligent, and is a fast thinker, as well.[/color]
[color=#483d8b][/color]
[color=#483d8b]Kiva turly enjoys her work, both as an operative in the Versilan millitary and as a spy for the resistance. Sometimes it appears that she really doesn't understand how serious the situation is, but this isn't true. She just seems that way because of how much she enjoys what she does. She's well aware of what's at stake, and she seems to have a personal involvement as well, though she's never revealed what it is. The assumption is that it's related to her father, a neutral scientist who was killed by either the Versilan Empire or the resistance, depending on which side's version you believe (OOC: His death was actually an accident).[/color]


[i][b][color=dimgray]Kiva Salqarian: Summary of Current Status[/color][/b][/i]

[i][color=dimgray]Kiva continues to be one of our most useful covert operatives. She shows exceptional skill at the job, and there's currently no indication that anyone within the Empire knows of her true loyalty. This is partly because of her skill at the art of deception, and partly because of our own care in regards to the information she provides us with. We have only acted on a very small percentage of the information she's provided us with. This way, nobody within the Empire notices a pattern and becomes suspicious.[/color][/i]
[i][color=#696969][/color][/i]
[i][color=#696969]Another factor in Kiva's success is undoubtably her care when it comes to reporting information taken from our own computers. She often eliminates the most important information, but she does it in such a way that nothing ever appears to be missing. Also, she usually leaves important information that's expected to be present, and she rarely alters it. This is done with our full knowledge and approval, as doing any differently could cause suspition to fall on her. And Kiva is far too useful an operative for us to do anything that might increase her risk of exposure.[/color][/i]
[i][color=#696969][/color][/i]
[color=#696969][i]Upon enlistment into the Empire's millitary, Kiva was quickly assigned as an assistant computer technician at an Empire frontier base. She gained [/i][/color][color=dimgray][i]recognition for her hacking skills when she foiled an attempt by another of our agents to access encrypted doccuments. She did this in her role as a member of the imperial millitary, and didn't know she was up against another of our operatives until she'd as good as exposed him. The other agent did manage to escape with his life. Also, as a result of her success at exposing the spy,[/i] [i]Kiva was soon transferred to security, where she was put to work on modifying the base's security system. Form there, she continued to advance, and currently has a very good record as a hacker. She's one the Empire brings in when they're up against particularly high-end security.[/i][/color]
[color=dimgray][/color]
[color=dimgray][i]As a result of recent successes, it's likely that Kiva will recieve a promotion. In her current situation, that would meen a transfer to a more elite millitary unit. We certainly consider this to be a positive development. In such a position, Kiva would have easier access to classified information, so even if we choose not to act on what she tells us, we'll know more. And knowledge, as Kiva is well aware, can be extremely deadly when it is properly used.[/i][/color]

[Aaryanna_Mom]

[B]Name:[/B] Daniel Landers and Kimberly Spencer

[B]Age:[/B] Daniel is 53 and Kimberly is 47

[B]Gender: [/B] Daniel is male and Kimberly is female.

[B]Race: [/B]Versilan.

[B]Loyalty: [/B] Resistance

[B]Description: [/B] Daniel is about 6?4, 200 lbs with redish brown hair. Kim is 5?7, 140 lbs with short brown hair. Both are in excellent shape.

[B]Weapons:[/B] As a former commander in the Versilan Military, Daniel is well versed in all forms of laser and disruptor weapons. When he was still an officer he was well known for being a dead mark when it came to shooting.

Kimberly (who goes by the name Kim) is also well versed in laser and disruptor weapons. During her time when she served as Daniel?s sub-commander she also trained new personal on the finer points of hand-to-hand combat.

Both of them have also been trained in the various forms of special explosives that the military uses

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Having served in the military before joining the resistance, both of them have field and command experience. Daniel?s kinder nature made him a natural leader before he was accused of treason and tortured by the Military. He now uses that same charisma and leading skills to aid in recruitment and the teaching of other races to defend themselves against the Versilan Empire.

Though not as good as Daniel is at command, Kim excels in working with him. Together they make up for the other?s weakness.

[B]Personality: [/B] Daniel tends to put on a stern front when in reality he?s always been on the kinder side. Although good at understand others in terms of command, Daniel has always been on the clueless side when it comes to more regular life.

Like Daniel, Kim is also on the kinder side. She has a hard time expressing what she truly feels. She?s also very detailed and never leaves anything undone if possible.

[B]Short Bio: [/B]

Brown eyes stared back at her from the mirror she was standing in front of. Even after four months, it still felt like a bit of a shock, as it was if a stranger was staring at her from behind the pane of glass. [I]I liked the silver color in my eyes better[/I] she thought as she finished putting on her makeup as well. Something that she was just finally becoming good at. [I]They have such strange customs here.[/I] She thought as she finished and put the makeup away.

It was hard to believe that her and Daniel had been on Earth for nearly four months now. High Command had nearly panicked over what had happened when the resistance had picked up her and the others. The resistance leaders had quickly picked up on it in a mad frenzy to get things going. It wasn?t often that they had the chance to work in complete freedom. But until the military had finished re-writing the encryption for the battleships computers they had pulled back nearly all ships from the unexplored sections. Though the last message she got indicated they had nearly finished with the upgrade to the battle ships systems.

Kim sighed; it wouldn?t be long before they would be back to take over Earth. She had worked hard with Daniel, but four months just wasn?t enough to bring their level of technology up. But it had been enough time to start recruiting people from this world. It wasn?t easy to do so with the paranoid governments on Earth, but Daniel seemed to be talented at finding the right person.

She glanced down at the ring on her left finger and smiled. Even if it wasn?t for real, it was fun to pretend she was married to Daniel. It certainly helped them to fit in better. The sound of someone else getting ready brought her out of her musings.

Kim walked back into the main bedroom and before Daniel could say a word she gave him a quick kiss on the left cheek causing him to blush.

?[B]Kim, don?t do that[/B].? Daniel protested. ?[B]It?s not necessary to pretend when we aren?t in public.[/B]?

Kim raised her eyebrow at him, ?[B]Who said I was pretending?[/B]? She chuckled, as he blushed even more. ?[B]I won?t be back until later this evening. Tonight is the dinner with all the girls remember?[/B]?

?[B]The one with those who teach different types of hand to hand combat?[/B]? he asked.

?[B]Correct, the one that Jason?s sister attends. I almost wish I could tell her that her brother still lives, but I suppose the next best thing is to just keep an eye on her.[/B]? She said.

?[B]She?ll find out soon enough when her world is taken over.[/B]? Daniel replied.

?[B]True. Well I need to go or I?ll be late.[/B]? Kim said.

Daniel watched her as she left and then looked at the clock on the wall. [I]I better hurry or I?ll be late myself[/I] he thought.

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Excellent sign ups everyone. In addition to those who were already going to participate, both [B]Rachmaninoff[/B] and [B]Takuya?s[/B] characters have been accepted. I?ve already updated the current cast in the first post to reflect that.

The character you created prowlingdarknes is fine as well, however your post is full of grammar and spelling errors making it a little hard to follow. So if you could edit it to fix the mistakes I?ll look over it again and then make my final decision.

Mariskah will be putting her sign up in the next few days and then I will put mine up as well. With it being so close to Christmas I?ll probably wait until a few days after the holiday to get the RPG started and to leave time for any more sign ups. [/COLOR]

[Mariskah]

[COLOR=Navy][B]Name:[/B] Sara Sanders

[B]Age:[/B] 29

[B]Gender:[/B] Female

[B]Race:[/B] Human.

[B]Loyalty:[/B] Resistance

[B]Description:[/B] [URL=http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/9010/meilinsd6.gif]Sara[/URL]

[B]Weapons:[/B] Learning to use the Katana

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Ninjitsu champion, Assistant Ninjitsu instructor. Although she has handled guns she prefers not to use them, relying more on her Ninjitsu skills.

[B]Personality:[/B] She appears very mild mannered and sweet unless you get on her bad side. She?s very loyal, making her a good friend.

[B]Short Bio:[/B]

Sara placed the flowers on her brother?s grave. It had been nearly a year since he died in the accident at work. She sighed, looking over at her parent?s headstone. She was alone now; all of her family was gone. Her bothers death seemed unreal to her at times. She would return home from work expecting a message on her answering machine or an email from him awaiting her. But every day it was the same she would never get another message from him again.

Sara stood up and began walking towards her car. She was going to be late for work now. She?d spent too much time at the cemetery again. At least her boss wouldn?t fire her since she?d bought the building with the money her brother left her, thus making her his landlord. Still it annoyed him if she was to late.

Besides she wanted to finish the classes on time since she was going out with the girls tonight. Sara hoped Kim would come. She was a lot of fun to hang out with. Especially since Kim enjoyed martial arts as much as she did. Sara often wondered who would win in a competition since it was obvious Kim had been well trained. She wasn?t sure she could win.

Sara drove off, her thoughts going back to her family. As they often did. [/COLOR]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkGreen][FONT=Times New Roman][B]Name:[/B] Royce Athlazar

[B]Age:[/B] 23

[B]Gender:[/B] Male

[B]Race:[/B] Human

[B]Loyalty:[/B] Neutral

[B]Description:[/B] [URL=http://img403.imageshack.us/my.php?image=roycema1.jpg]Royce[/URL]

[B]Weapons:[/B] It might seem strange that Royce wields a giant axe, but you would become more understanding if you knew his occupation. On Earth, he is a lumberjack of sorts .. so using a giant axe is no problem for him. He is constantly splitting hunks of wood, so what better way to get the job done than a giant axe?

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Royce works with the resistance frequently, although he is of such a young age. He's mainly a recruiter of young men and women on Earth; mainly the women due to his dashing good looks. He is a lumberjack, as said before.

[B]Personality:[/B] The lumberjack life did not happen on purpose, and was more of a way for Royce to release some of his built up rage. As a child he was diagnosed as bipolar, so his father, not the brightest of men, handed him an axe and told him to get to chopping. Whenever Royce felt himself becoming .. angry, he would just grab his axe and head outside, chopping up a storm. He is generally a good-hearted man who does what he feels is right for the overall population, and providing them with firewood is the best way that he can. He's very intelligent as well, but does not fully realise this at the beginning of his journey.

[B]Short Bio:[/B]

He was tired of chopping wood for the day, but something inside of his head told him that he wasn't done yet. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it could have had something to do with the news report this morning, something about how another member of the resistance had been executed by the Versilans. Of course, the ignorant news reporter knew nothing about the members of the resistance; although, most humans knew of it. After the report had completed, Royce grabbed his axe and headed out to the woods, trying to calm himself before he got into his car and drove it into the Versilan-run company near his home. He still had his bipolar tendencies, but he could control them. That's all that mattered.

The Versilan's could be labled as the reason why Royce was even in this mess. As a child he had watched two Versilan soldiers murder his beloved dog, and the experience had traumatized him so much that he could barely remember what had happened. He only cared that he hated the Versilans, and he wanted to be the reason why they became extinct like the dinosaurs. Versilans were scum, and in Royce's mind scum needed to be wiped clean of the universe. That is why when a member of the resistance came to Royce with a proposition, he gladly accepted. It was what he always had dreamed, his inner-most desire.

Well, with the sun setting in the sky and the air becoming damp and cold, Royce decided to finally pack up his things and head back home. Although he hadn't yet been married, he did have a dog named Buddy that was always at his side: minus today. Buddy was feeling sick today, so he stayed at home to rest up so that he could be in Royce's company again tomorrow.

However, when Royce was finally within distance of his home, he could smell smoke, and as he came closer he could see the trees around his home ablaze, and he could only imagine what his house looked like. He ran as fast as his legs could take him, hoping that it was not too late ..[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[COLOR=RoyalBlue]Again excellent signups everyone, I do want to apologize to Mariskah as I need you to change Sara?s age to 29. I gave you the wrong information if Jason and his sister are going to be fraternal twins. Sorry about that. Also since prowlingdarknes has not edited their post their entry is now officially denied.

JimitheGreat11 your sign up is excellent and I?d love to accept it. There?s only one problem and it?s my fault for not being clear enough, but Earth has yet to actually be invaded. However since the Versilan?s consider any race that is different to be lowly humans your character would fit perfectly as a member of one of the other worlds near Earth that was taken over within the last twenty years. I?ve divided the areas into sectors and that would put your member as being from the planet in sector twelve. Even the name would be sector twelve as once an area is taken over they are renamed to reflect their status within the Empire.

If that?s acceptable to you then welcome aboard. ^_~ And considering how you have written your sign up, it fits perfectly into how the resistance is recruiting people from those worlds who are not Versilan. Considering what happened it?s the perfect opening for your character to not only be picked up but even possibly moved to another sector to help the resistance.

Anyway, once everyone has enjoyed the holiday I'll post the threads and get this started.



[B]Name:[/B] Celestia Lynn Henderson & Jason Eric Sanders

[B]Age:[/B] Celestia is 25 and Jason is 29.

[B]Gender: [/B]Jason is Male and Celestia is Female.

[B]Race: [/B]Jason is Human where Celestia is a mix since her mother was a human and her father a Versilan.

[B]Loyalty: [/B]The resistance.

[B]Description: [/B] [URL=http://img291.imageshack.us/img291/7477/jasoncelestiaxd8.png]Jason & Celestia[/URL]

[B]Weapons:[/B] Although initially Jason studied martial arts with his sister Sara, after their parents died due to complications from cancer Jason focused more on computer programming instead. Since he became a member of the resistance he has been re-learning how to fight and how to use the most basic of laser and disruptor weapons.

Other than the basics Celestia has no weapon skills. She?s in excellent shape but even after joining the resistance she has not learned more than how to use the most basic of Versilan weapons.

[B]Special Skills:[/B] Before his encounter with the Versilan race Jason graduated with high honors from College and then continued to obtain his masters and PhD degree in computers. He then worked for several major software programming companies before he applied for and was hired to work for Henderson Inc at age 26.

Celestia?s, mother died when she was only four years old. She was placed in a state orphanage, as she had no living relatives. Later she wrote her first holographic program at age fifteen. Due to it?s success she then established Henderson Inc at age eighteen. She began construction of her gaming Silver One project at age 20. Two years later she hired Jason Eric Sanders to assist in the final development and testing of the new phase of her holographic technology.

Though Celestia is the smarter of the two, both of them use their skills as programmers to assist the resistance in their fight against the Versilan Empire.

[B]Personality: [/B]Though smart, Celestia is terribly shy when it comes to dealing with members of the opposite sex. Deep inside she?s very kind and friendly, but due to her financial success with her company she tends to be more standoffish as so many people were only interested in her money.

Jason is also a bit on the shy and reserved side; he?s hard working and always follows through with what he?s been asked to do. Since he and Celestia were captured by the Versilan?s and then later rescued by the resistance, he has become almost driven in his desire to not only help the resistance but to protect Celestia as well.

[B]Short Bio: [/B]

?[B]You know, I?ve been thinking Celestia, it?s actually been closer to a year since we were taken from Earth.[/B]? Jason said.

?[B]How do you figure that?[/B]? She replied.

?[B]I was looking at how Versilan?s record time and I realized that their days and weeks are actually longer than ours are. They still have seven days, but the days when compared to our time scale are longer. It?s not a lot, but it?s more like their weeks are eight days instead of seven when you get down to it.[/B]? Jason explained.

Celestia stopped what she was doing and pulled up another program to quickly calculate what Jason was talking about. ?[B]You?re right. I don?t know how I missed that. I was thinking we had only been gone from Earth for about nine months but that would put it between ten to eleven months. I guess with how everything has happened, it felt like years so I didn?t notice.[/B]?

?[B]I wonder how Sara is going to react when she realizes that we aren?t dead.[/B]? Jason said, it had been hard to wait so long to go and see her again. But with the huge bounties on both his and Celstia?s head, it was hard to move around freely.

Celestia turned off the computer terminal in their quarters and walked over to Jason, she wrapped her arms around his back and looked up into his face, ?[B]Knowing her I think she?s going to be thrilled to see that you aren?t dead. She is your fraternal twin after all. And since she came out first I remember that she thought of you as her baby brother even though you both are the same age.[/B]?

Jason chuckled, ?[B]True, so I guess the real surprise will be that you and I are together.[/B]? He wrapped his arms around her and leaned down to kiss her on the lips. Celestia responded in kind, her hands moving along his back pulling him closer. But before they could do more than that the chime indicating someone was at the door interrupted them.

?[B]Damn![/B]? Jason swore as he reluctantly let go of Celestia to answer the door. It was William.

?[B]Are you two ready?[/B]? He asked. ?[B]We?ll be at Earth in less than an hour.[/B]?

Jason looked briefly at Celestia before responding. ?[B]We?re ready.[/B]?[/COLOR]
