The Vast Empire Navy welcomes you, Crewman.

I am Senior Chief Petty Officer Hunter-Morrell, Adjutant to the Naval Training Officer for the Vast Empire Navy (which basically means I'm his assistant ), and I will be helping you today.

You have just completed Imperial Initiation by posting your welcome message here, the Vast Empire Navy congratulates for that. Now, the next step in your training is to start Flight School and post your character biography. This biography will (and should) be a rough outline of your characters history.

In your biography, you will need to list the following (just copy and paste):

Code: Select all
= Physical Appearance =
Homeworld:
Age:
Species:
Native Language:
Gender:
Skin Color:
Height:
Weight:
Hair Color:
Facial Hair:
Eye Color:
Scars:
Tattoos:

== Character’s Background ==
(Give me 1-2 solid paragraphs with information on your character’s past. Using a large amount of detail isn’t necessary, but if you feel like you want to, go ahead.)

== Personality ==
(Just write about what your character’s personality is. Make him/her interesting!)


Our method of writing here in the Vast Empire Navy (and the Vast Empire) is to write in third person. Please do so. If you have any questions, feel free to ComNet PM myself for guidance. Good Luck.

Useful links:
Also, it would really help you and us if you would get on IRC which serves as the basis of all communication here in the Vast Empire, aside from the Comnet. You can download IRC here or you can try JavaChat

Greetings,
              You know the hardest thing about this assignment was cutting my post down to try and meet 250 words. I'm afraid i went slightly over, 357 to be exact.

Here it goes.

Adaha Tatham blinked away his blurred vision as temporary blindness struck him, the explosion had come from nowhere, and flying blind in an asteroid field was not a good idea. A few seconds later enough vision had returned to allow him to give his sensors a quick scan, sure enough a glowing red dot was closing in on his TIE Interceptor. Instinctively Adaha pulled back hard on the yoke forcing his TIE into a tight loop to face his aggressor. Adaha had completed the manoeuvre and could just make out the ghostly silhouette of a Z-95 Headhunter bearing down on him through his viewport.
“Damn Pirates!” He murmured.

Adaha had no time to react as the first volley of laser cannon fire came burning towards him. He wrenched the controls of his ship violently into a barrel roll as the laser fire ripped through the area of space he just occupied. Squeezing the fire control, the brilliant green glow of his own laser fire filled his cockpit as his rushed attack shot wide of his target. The Z-95 banked hard, ducking behind an asteroid, no doubt trying to hide his next move as Adaha closed in for the kill. But his attacker wasn’t where he had anticipated. Roaring in from his portside the Headhunter unleashed another volley of deadly laser fire. He didn’t have time to react as his Starfighter violently shook and some of his in flight displays shattered.

“That was too close!” Adaha growled between clenched teeth. The sweat was building on his forehead, he switched over to Concussion Missiles. This had to end, and now. The stars turned to streaks as he pulled hard to port, pulling in just behind the Headhunter as it shot past him. A tight grin of satisfaction on his face Adaha hit the weapon release stud and the glow of a speeding Missile came into view, impacting squarely on the Z-95’s hull, followed by the glaring explosion of fire and hot gasses being expelled by the wrecked ship. The starscape outside his view port, and internal instruments suddenly went blank. And with that, his first combat simulation was over.

Good, but it needs a little work.You've got the 3rd person viewpoint down pat, but the structure is all wrong. Don't hit enter after every sentence like you did there. Keep the related stuff all together and only start a new paragraph either whenever dialogue starts or whenever something else happens. Like for instance, say your first paragraph is on dogs. You talk about the benefits of owning a dog. But when you want to put something about the drawbacks, don't keep going in the same paragraph. You need to start a new paragraph because its on a slightly different topic. I'm going to be lenient on the word count, so as soon as you edit it to include the changes I mentioned above, its a pass.

Sorry about that, the bad formatting was actually due to windows copying from word and pasting into this text box all wrong. And then my fault for neglecting to correct it. But thanks for the advice none the less.
I have editied the original post above to a more suitable format. I just hope i have the paragraphs with the speech correct.

Carpet's Report: October 13th, 2009

Activity: This week I completed Chapters I and II of Flight School by completing my character profile and writing my first post, both available on my training thread. I have also been participating daily on Pay Per Click and have been on IRC several times in the last week. I have also set up my Impericare Benefits, and attempted to earn some money using Imperitrade Financial.

Upcoming plans: Next week I hope to complete Flight School by completing the aviator's exam and be placed into an active squadron.

Questions/Suggestions: None

Passed. Also, can you put a space between paragraphs. It'd make reading it easier. Take the AE and send it to StOrMz
