Hello, I am a new recruit for the Naval forces. I usually play at Star wars combine and found this through voting for that game. I await training and look forward to serving. I am a Mon Calamari with experience in working with 3d art programs.

Norsedragoon, welcome to the Vast Empire Navy!

Now I'm not sure what Star Wars Combine is, but here we specialize in writing our division, unit, or personal missions.

Now, Trykon or Ellesmere are lurking about somewhere, and shall begin your training shortly.

If you have any questions at all, feel free to pm me at any point in your career here in the VE Navy.

Again, welcome!

Welcome, fellow Combiner.

Amacuse, I also hail from the Combine, where it's similar as far as having a text-based forum RP.

Welcome to the VE, Norse, and also found it that way. You can also PM me, though Amacuse is more experienced. If you don't mind me asking, what's your handle?

Hang in there my friend and your training shall get started shortly. I'd start you off right now but there are a few things that I need to do first before that can be done, but Trykon shall be with you shortly.

Welcome to the Vast Empire Naval Academy, Crewman Norsedragoon.

My name is Warrant Officer 2nd Class Wyl Trykon, and I'll be your Training Officer (TO) while you go through the Academy's Orientation program, as some other folks have hinted.    I'll be around to help get you acclimated to life in the Vast Empire (a process we call, "Basic Training"), the most important part of which is learning how to role-play as an Imperial starfighter pilot in an ongoing, collaboratively-written story (a set of skills which is taught in something we call, "Flight School"), which it sounds like you may have some experience with; I'm looking forward to seeing what you can do.

With your first post here on the Naval Academy board, you've completed Imperial Initiation (well done) and are hereby clear to begin Flight School, which will prepare you for daily life as a pilot in a VE squadron.

Your next step should be to visit the VE Wiki page for Flight School, found here, and begin working on Chapter 1: Character Development by clicking the appropriate link.  When you finish the assignment, post your work here (bio and ID line), so I can review it, and we'll proceed from there.  Please note: here in the VE, we write stories in the third person, past tense; you should too.

If you need further guidance, please send a Private Message with your questions to "Trykon" here on the ComNet, or go to the Naval Academy channel on IRC, which is #VENA, and make an inquiry of any staff member.  Also, most of our members are pretty helpful, so feel free to seek advice.    Good luck with your training, Crewman, and again, welcome to the Vast Empire.

Sincerely,

WO2 Wyl Trykon, your TO

Name: Einarr Ghylthir
Age: 20 standard
Height" 1.9 meters
Weight: 86 kilograms
Skin color: Deep green with light grey stripes
Homeworld: Dac (mon calamari to outsiders)


History: Einarr was born on Mon Calamari to a pair of Imperial sympathizer's who were granted asylum by imperial officials. He grew up detached from the rest of the Mon Calamari population and at a young age was taken in as a servant to a ranking imperial pilot named Emanuel Mozinwrath.  Leaving his family and home behind he traveled with the pilot learning from him even as many Imperial pilots looked down on him for his race. He went with the Imperial forces during their retreat from his home world and followed them all the way to Abrea where his Master was killed in an ambush by pirate forces. Seeking the chance to prove himself and avenge his former employer on both the pirate and Rebel scum, he enlisted seeking to fly among the VE's best. He studied long and hard learning everything he could, from combat maneuvers to the standard and variant wiring types for the various Ties used in his new homes forces.


Personality: Einarr tends to act cold and emotionless towards others due to being constantly put down for being a Mon Cal most of his life. The death of his employer has only reinforced this attitude. He has the innate desire to tamper with technology in an effort to learn its purpose and improve it. He does have ht moments whenever pirates are involved, and given the opportunity it is never pleasant for the pirates involved.


Description: Standing taller than usual for a Mon Calamari, Einarr is hard to mistake in a crowd of his fellows, his deep green skin with strips of light grey marking him as much apart from his race as the pride he takes in wearing an imperial uniform. He tends to modify his uniforms with hidden pockets for tools and other items. He also tends to whenever possible carry a small pistol concealed in an inner pocket due to the hostilities he has experienced in his past. In his free time he can be seen in a mottled green jumpsuit, with worn spots at the joints from his constantly performing maintenance on his former employer's fighter, or for more formal occasions, a grey imperial cut shirt with  grey slacks.

Good work on the bio, Crewman.    Now, let's see what you come up with for your ID Line.

A couple of suggestions: as time goes on, try and develop the backstory even further.  Why were his folks Imperial sympathizers?  Why does he retain Imperial loyalty despite the obvious discrimination you indicate he has faced?  The more specific you can make things, the more help your bio will be - to you, as you write stories, and to your fellow members, as they interact with your PC in stories of their own.    Again, you've got a good start here, and I appreciate you giving some thought to the "Why" and "How" of your character's life, but feel free to flesh out the answers to those questions even more.

Welcome to the Navy! Maybe you'll end up in Nightshrike squadron with me! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Almost right on the ID Line, Norsedragoon... let's walk through it:

position/rank/first name "callsign" last name/flight designation/squadron/wing/ship/task force/fleet/corps/division/club

So, for you:

position = TRN, for trainee
rank = CRW, for Crewman
name/callsign = Einarr "Norsedragoon" Ghylthir
flight designation = you actually haven't been officially placed, yet, but this information can be found on the "On-Line Roster," here.  For now, call yourself G-2, which stands for Gamma Flight, second position
squadron = S:137 Raptor, for Raptor Squadron the Navy's training squadron
wing = W:46 Defiance, for Defiance Wing
ship = PLT Cappadocious, for Naval Platform Cappadocious (not technically a ship, but still, the larger "base" for the squadron)
task force = TF: TH
fleet = 3Flt, for Third Fleet, the support and training fleet
corps = SC, for starfighter corps, as opposed to FC (fleet command, for capital ship folks)
division = VEN, for Vast Empire's Navy
club = VE, for - wait for it - Vast Empire

So, there's a cheat sheet... make an ID Line. 

Also, please note that editing posts does not draw attention to the changes, so edits often go unnoticed.  If you want to make sure something gets noticed (especially true during the initial training cycle), put up a new post.

is your ID Line as of right now.    It will change throughout your time in the VE, to reflect changes in rank and position, so make sure to keep it up to date: the ID Line is an easy way for other members to see "who are" are at a glance.

You are clear to start Chapter 2 of Flight School, Norsedragoon.    Keep up the great work!

I've reviewed the story post and discussed it with Norse via IRC.

He's passed and been moved on to the next chapter of training.

More than sufficient, Crewman.    Congratulations, and as the NCC said, you're clear to the last Chapter.

Congratulations, Crewman Einarr "Norsedragoon" Ghylthir - you have passed Basic Training and Flight School, and are hereby placed as A-3 in Regents Squadron!  In addition, your completion of the Academy course of study has been exemplary, and entitles you to an immediate promotion to Senior Crewman; I am also granting you the Star of the Academy medal in recognition of your efforts.  Adjust your ID Line and wiki page to reflect these changes, then report in on the Regents thread, and ask your new squadron-mates how best to start contributing to the current story: "Task Force Besh: Snatch and Grab."  Congratulations again, Senior Crewman, and welcome to active duty with the Vast Empire's Navy!
