Welcome, new Crewman, to the Vast Empire Naval Academy! By posting here, you're one step closer to joining us in our ranks.

If you'll allow me to introduce myself, I am Chief Petty Officer Echelon. As your training officer, I'll lead you through the courses here at VENA.

You'll begin by completing the Basic Training course. Please proceed here, and read the section. When you're done Basic Training, proceed to your first chapter of Flight School, here, and create a bio for your Vast Empire character. Remember, you should have it in 3rd person (he, she, it) and in past tense (ran, shot, exploded).

Once your bio is complete, post it here for reviewing, and then we can move on to Chapter 2 of Flight Schooll!

If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or rants, feel free to contact any of us here at VENA. The fastest way to get help would to get on the #VENA IRC channel and ask there (I'm usually on). Otherwise, you can Private Message us, or just simply post here. Remember, the wiki has all sorts of information, and you're welcome to look at other people's works (just don't plagiarize or copy).

Utterly,

Training Officer Echelon

Good job, Jaz. By post here you have completed your first part of training. Now, wait for a training officer (probably Trykon) to get you further. If you want a head start go to Chapter 1 of Basic Training here: http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/Character_Development.

When you strike your opponent do not bruise or even bloody them. Hit them so hard you take away their capacity to fight back.

Eli, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but please leave the training to the trainers. If you're interested in become a trainer, talk to Trykon, but for now refrain from posting unauthorized posts.

Also, there is a rule that after the trainer posts, no one else but VENA, NHC, or the trainee may post.

Physical Appearance
Homeworld: Naboo
Age: 26
Species: Human
Native Language: Standard, Binary, some Bocce
Gender: Female
Skin Color: bronze tan
Height: 5'3”
Weight: 55kg
Hair Color: bright orangy-red
Facial Hair: none
Eye Color: brownish purple
Scars: pale scar on the back of her right hand due to a dagger, scar above her left collar bone and on the right flank on her back for the same reason
Tattoos: upper back just below her neck is a pink and yellow flower that grows on Naboo and blooms once every eighty-eight years

Physical Description
She's short and curvy with slightly muscular arms and legs. Hair ends halfway down her back in a somewhat choppy cut, rarely seen out of a ponytail, if not in uniform, it tends to be a sloppy ponytail.  A minor curve on the corner of her lips gives the impression she's smirking or smiling many times, though she genuinely smiles a lot.  Her almond shaped eyes, high arched brows and full lips are generally attractive.  When not on duty, she tends to dress techno-punk.  She has several piercings in both her ears and one in her bellybutton, the one in her bellybutton being the only one that she wears when in uniform, since no one can see it then.  She tends to stand with her head held up and with confidence but with a relaxed posture. 

Personality
Jaz is a firecracker, short fuse at times and quick to jump into a fight even if she is isn't very strong.  She values loyalty and if she considers you her friend, will always have your back.  With an outgoing personality, she'll talk to anyone and says things how they are.  Sometimes lacking a filter on her mouth, she will say inappropriate things, though she's working on that.  She also can't stand when she's curious about something and will research or ask questions even if it becomes annoying, until she finds the answers or at least til she can't find any.  As the saying goes, she works hard and parties harder.  She prefers to be a team member rather than a leader, not wanting the responsibility of other's lives on her shoulders.  She has a photographic memory and can remember most events in her life in great detail, with the exception of times she's been inebriated, which due to her size, is easy for her to become.  Laid back, travels light, is not attached to many materialistic items. 

Character’s Background
Jazmina was born in Theed, to an elite Naboo family.  Her father owns a plasma trading company which affords their rich lifestyle.  She was the youngest of three with two older brothers.  To her mother's dismay, Jaz preferred to climb trees and learn how to drive vehicles rather than play with other girls.  More comfortable with droids than children she went to school with, she learned binary.  She found living life just to be pampered and cared for empty.  Not surprisingly, at 16 she ran away from home.  She changed her last name and became a spacer, picking up odd jobs helping out with freight, waiting tables, doing basic repairs on a spacecraft or whatever she could to jump around to different galaxy.  Unbeknownst to her, she was constantly searching for something. She made friends easily in her travels but also got in trouble a little too often. She worked to become stronger but realized she needed to learn to fight. She traveled to Eshan and stayed a few years to learn Echani fighting.  Then she met someone practiced in Teräs Käsi and after some persuading, became his student for a couple years.  A couple years after parting with him, she was traveling with a pilot who offered to show her how to fly.  He told her she was a natural with quick reflexes and a quick mind.  He also informed her if she was looking for a family, the best spacecrafts and the best training, she'd find no better place than the VE.  After some thought, she finds herself at the Naval Academy of the Vast Empire itching to find herself in a smaller, highly maneuverable spacecraft.  She holds the hope she finds what she is looking for with her duties...purpose.

Nice bio, recruit.  Just to keep your training cycle moving, I'll step in with some more direction (I think it's night time, where Echelon is).

A couple notes:

1.)  "To her mother's detriment" is not what you meant, I think.  Perhaps "dismay" would work better?
2.)  In the Star Wars milieu, there's just one main Galaxy, so please amend the line about "jumping around to different galaxies."
3.)  I don't have a problem with your character background including some advanced training, like the "Echani fighting."  But you should know that you'll have to wait until you "level up" your character using the Naval Certification program before you can write about that advanced training in official Navy stories.  It's a nice detail, but you have to "unlock" the right to use that background in official stories, ok?
4.)  I want to see a little more about why Jazmina is choosing the VE, specifically.  There are a LOT of post-Imperial factions in the Galaxy... why join us?  Is it because the VE has an open policy of inclusion for non-humans?  Is it because we spare no expense on equipment, making our armed forces much better-equipped (and better able to survive) than the equivalents in most other Imperial-style factions?

Make those changes (#3 isn't really a change, but the others!), and put the edited character bio on a wiki page.  Post a link here to that wiki page, and you'll move on.

Really good work so far, Crewman!  I look forward to seeing you join an active duty squadron!  Echelon will take over again as you move forward.

Thank you so much for the help.
I'm reading the Pilot Procedure tutorials and will work on the assignment tomorrow.
Off the hit the sack.

Echelon's on Leave, Jaz, so I'll go ahead and formally take over as your Training Officer, now.

That's a great post, Crewman.  I'm impressed not only by the general quality of the writing, but by the evidence that you really understood the assignment.  You included specific aero-space combat maneuvers, showing you understood the OOC requirements, but also infused the post with the character's point of view and personality, showing you understood the need for a good IC story.  You pass, no problem.  Go ahead and move on to Chapter Three of FS.  Send a sample report to me via PM, and post a copy in this thread as well, we'll discuss the state of reporting in the Navy today, and then I'll see about getting you into a real cockpit.

I'm satisfied with your work, Crewman.  Well done and congratulations on passing BT and FS.  Stand by while I make my recommendations to Command... should have a duty assignment for you shortly.

One thing that I'm just noticing... the Academy materials should read: SCO for squadron commanding officer, and SXO for squadron executive officer.  Not a big deal, but those are the acronyms we're using these days, FYI as you move forward.

Yes, Sir, thank you for the corrections.

May I have permission to correct on this wiki page which I had gotten the incorrect information?

http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/The_Squadron

"Above the Flight Leaders is the XO (Executive Officer) of the squadron. They are second-in-command and are the back-up in case the SC (Squadron Commander) disappears or is unable to perform his or her duty. The Squadron Commander is always the first flier in the squadron, meaning that they will receive a '1' after their squadron name. (Examples: Raptor 1, Regents 1, Nightshrike 1, etc...)"

I hereby promote you to Senior Crewman, and award you the Star of the Academy medal, in recognition of your exemplary performance during Flight School.  Your use of ComNet PMs to ask questions during your training cycle, and your willingness to do wiki work, are particularly noteworthy and admirable.  Well done, Senior Crewman.

I've placed you as Cresh 3, in Tuk'ata squadron.  Go ahead and report in to the squadron thread, and check the roster to see who else is in your flight.  For now, you'll be reporting to your SCO, Wager, and your WC (Wing Commander) DeepSix, unless they have other preferences.

Adjust your ID Line to incorporate these changes, report in, and get posting!    Welcome to the Vast Empire's Navy!
