Welcome (back) to the Vast Empire Naval Academy, Senior Crewman!

I saw your post on the Leave thread, and I appreciate you posting here as per Serpent's suggestion; we like to have plenty of threads here so that inquisitive new recruits can get answers to many of their questions before a trainer even gets to them, and besides, the Navy has changed an awful lot since you were last active.

I'm LTJG Wyl Trykon, the current Chief of Naval Training, and I'd like you to go through the current version of the Academy's Orientation program, just to knock the rust off your writing and make sure you're on the same page as the rest of the Division.

Please note: the wiki makes mention of Command School, but that training program is currently closed; you will be going through Flight School again (shouldn't take long though, especially since this isn't your first time). 

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 in this thread (bio and ID line), so I can review it, and we'll proceed from there.

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.  Good luck with your refresher programming, Senior Crewman, and again, my personal thanks for returning to the Navy.

Sincerely,

Lieutenant Junior Grade Wyl Trykon, your TO

Biographical Information/Physical Appearance
Homeworld: Bakura
Age: 22
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Skin Color: Well tanned
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 172 lbs.
Hair Color: Black
Facial Hair: None
Eye Color: Dark Black
Handiness: Right Handed
Native Language: Galactic Basic (do we still call it that?)

Physical Description
Darian Rogue has oval shaped eyelids inside of which are dark black eyes. He has straight black hair, tan skin, and a hooked nose. Normal sized all his life, he is now 5 feet 10 inches tall. He weighs an average 172 pounds, with those pounds being evenly distributed among fat and muscle.

Personality
To say Darian Rogue is, was, or will be a bully is a complete and total lie. He is a friendly man that can be trusted and counted on. However, just because he is nice doesn't mean he is not strict, and he plans to be just that when and if he becomes a higher ranking officer in the Navy. And of course, he will fight the enemy, as he is only nice around those he likes. Around others he is very calm and collected, and loves to engage in social activity when possible. However, he has no sense of humor when it comes to unnecessary jokes that make no sense. Lastly, he is selfless, and will sacrifice his life to save another, which will sometimes lead to too much bravery.

History
OOC:
Note: This first paragraph is a slightly different version of the one I originally wrote for Flight School way back when, so it will be of slightly lesser quality. The second paragraph was added during my time here, and the last sentence was added now. The last paragraph was also written now to expand on the first two.


The following are the events that led to Darian joining the Navy:

Darian Rogue was always looking for a way to get into the Empire, to be able to work in it. The Empire, even though the Emperor was dead, was still the largest faction out there. He found out that many soldiers were needed in both the army and the navy, so immediately headed for Abrae. There they informed him that he had no choice of the army or the navy at that moment, and to come back later if he wanted to pick. He stayed, and they put him into the Navy. He was then given the items in the items section. He got through basic training and was assigned as Nazgul 2-4.

Darian left for personal reasons but then came back as Nazgul 1-4. Then he left again for more personal reasons but then came back as Rhegent's Reign Gamma-2. He was also part of Tuk'ata at one point and he is now going through a refresher course at the Naval Academy before being reassigned once more.

Among his reasons for joining the Empire are the fact that a strong and powerful entity attracted him, as well as that, since the Emperor's death, they had become increasingly more tolerant towards non-humans and to women, a facet Darian found, despite neither of those words describing him, admirable. As to his reasons for randomly taking leaves and putting himself into the reserves, that has to do with family problems back on his home planet of Bakura. Since Bakura is pretty far away, his trips can be time consuming, and he tries to stay for as long as necessary if he suspects more problems will arise. Now, hopefully, most problems are solved.

ID Line
OOC:
I wasn't sure whether or not I would be considered in Raptor, this being a refresher course and all, so I just put question marks in places I couldn't be sure of.

And of course, you could just see all of this on the wiki page instead. If that was the only thing you wanted me to post here in the first place... well... my bad then. Here it is.

Good bio. I guess it could use a little bit more detail, but it is sufficient enough. You pass. Your ID line, however, is incorrect, but as it will change very soon, I'm going to ignore it, and since you've been here before, I'm sure you know how to properly assemble one once you're placed.

Please move to Chapter 2 and complete the assignment.

You're almost ready to rejoin us in our ranks. Glad you're back.

One thing I'd like to point out, though: The Vast Empire is not headquartered on Coruscant... please adjust that little detail in the bio.  Perhaps you went to Imperial Center (Coruscant) first, and then sought out another Imperial faction that was hiring?  Or else you came to us first.

Changed it to Abrae. Will probably have to flesh out that part later. I'm working on Chapter 2 now, probably won't be done until tomorrow.

Thank you for keeping us in the loop, and good adjustment.  We'll stay tuned for your post.

Ok, that took a while, but I finally got my post in Disaster up. Hope it's satisfactory.

Looks great, DarianRogue.  In response to your OOC note:
1.) Your first time back after a long leave of absence is actually the PERFECT place for some character development, so don't apologize for starting your post with that.  I thought it was very effective as an introduction.
2.) Cynicism was good to establish character.
3.) The section in which you destroy the 5 enemies might have benefited from more detail with specific maneuvers and such, but you've been through flight school before.  I'm confident you know how to write aerospace dogfights in more detail.
4.) I think you probably missed an opportunity, right at the end, to give us more insight into your character.  He just found out more than half of the simulated kills were friendlies... how does he feel about that?

Those are my specific notes, but in general, this was more than enough to convince me you're fit to write again for the VEN.  Now, prove you still remember how to report in an active squadron (read Chapter 3 of Flight School, then report to me via PM and post a copy of that report here for reference as well), and we'll get you placed and into the current fleet story!  You're clear to move to the last Chapter of Flight School!

In Chapter 3, on the minor heading "Posting" is a link to what seems to be an old Chapter 3 article or something with an assignment at the bottom. From what I've seen looking through other training threads, I assume that's not actually a thing we need follow and the article was just linked to give more writing tips. Is that correct?

Edit: Disregard that, I just saw that that page was last edited in 2008. I'll edit my report into this post shortly.
Edit2:


DarianRogue’s Report: 03/23/12
Activity:
This week I returned to the Vast Empire, posted on the Raptor story, edited my wiki page a bit, and chatted on IRC.
Upcoming plans:
I plan to be assigned, post on the current division-wide story, talk on IRC, overhaul my wiki page (maybe), and do some PPC.
Questions/Suggestions:
None

Alright, DR. You're officially in the Navy! Congrats.

I'll send a request to put you in Tuk'ata Squadron immediately.

Well done, DR.  I appreciate your willingness to go through the training regimen again quickly.  I've place you as A-2 in Tuk'ata.  Report in to your squadron's discussion thread and introduce yourself, then talk with DeepSix (your Wing Commander) about jumping into the current run-on, Out of the Invisible.  Just FYI, the current story is being used as a major competition, and leadership positions (both SCO - squadron commanding officer - and SXO - squadron executive officer) are available for those who excel!  Good luck!
