trainee Thae reporting for training

Hello there. My name is Jegora Fal, and I'm one of the Naval Academy's Operators. That means I'll be helping you through your training, both here in Basic and beyond.

There are several other trainers and operators that will be assisting you as well: Shazam, our Commander of Training; Tomas, the Training Executive Officer; C-3PX2, our only Trainer; and Ibram Tyrol, our senior Operator. Any and all of these gentlemen will be more than capable, and willing, to help you out if I'm not around.

Now, lets get down to buisness. First off, the Vast Empire isn't a 'game' in the traditional sense. It's a forum-based, play-by-post RPG. This means that we roleplay through stories. These stories happen on a variety of levels, from personal and squadron stories, to Wing stories, and even Chapters, which involve the entire organization.

The first step of your training is Flight School. This is where you will learn the ropes of the Vast Empire. After going through Flight School you will take the Aviators Exam, which will qualify you to join a Squadron and begin your career here in the Navy. So, lets start, shall we? First off, you need to have a Character Biography. This is the first stage of Flight School, and perhaps the most important. This is where you create your character; who he or she will be, what he/she will look like, his or her personality traits, etc. A link to a Character Creation Guide can be found here.

When you complete your biography go ahead and post it in this thread. I or another staff member will then look over your bio, making sure everything is in order.

If at any time you have any questions, or if you're looking to get idea of our club and its members, I highly encourage you to explore the rest of the ComNet and jump onto our IRC server, via either our free chat applet (jIRC) or the downloadable version known as mIRC. The most commonly used channel is #Vast_Empire, and the Academy channel can be found at #VENA.

I'll get off my soap box now, and let you get to work. Welcome to the Vast Empire. I hope you enjoy it here as much as I do.

Don't have much to say here, Kronyx, you did a good job. Only thing I ask is that you clean up the formatting. We don't need double spaces inbetween every stat, colons would be nice, and headers would be helpful. If you can edit those in, I'd be much obliged.

Moving on, you're ready for Chapter 2 of Flight School. This also has an assignment, as you'll see, but I think you'll enjoy it. This is where you get your first taste of writing about flight.

Enjoy.

Assignments:

Edit Biography for ease of reading
Chapter 2

Sorry for the wait. Good job, though, nothing wrong with the assignment.

You're on your last part of Basic now. You have three assignments for this part:

-Create a Wiki Page (tutorials can be found on the Wiki itself)
-Create an I.D. line (to put in your signature)
-Report your activity for the last week (not much, but 'tis only practice)


Let's get this done, eh?
