I'm reporting not necessary as a new recruit but more of a cross over looking to try out the ways of the Navy. I may add that I also go by V55.

Welcome to the Vast Empire Naval Academy, Crewman.

Since you've been around the ComNet already, you should already know that my name is Lieutenant Wyl Trykon, but to clarify: I'll be serving as your Training Officer (TO) while you go through the Naval Academy's Orientation program.  I'll be around to help you learn 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").

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.  Please note: the wiki makes mention of Command School, but that training program is currently closed to new recruits; you will be going through Flight School.

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.  Please note: here in the VEN, 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.  Good luck with your training, Crewman, and again, welcome to the Vast Empire.

Sincerely,

LT Wyl Trykon, your TO

Physical Description
    Xenon is an average Mon Calamarian. He is fit, he has amazing eye sight and, able to swim an extra 5 meters under water compared to others of his race, but besides that he is just your average Mon Calamarian.
Personality
    Xenon has a problem with stress. His friends say that he seems to be stressed about everything but that it doesn't really effect him mentally or physically. When he is not stressed he is a happy fun loving being, willing to do some very crazy things. When it comes to manners he is extremely polite. The only person he is ever mean to is his little brother (little as in 20 year old) who get on his nerves. When he is around family he is calm, listening to stories,discussing the day. He love's being in a potion of power but doesn't ever show it. When he is given a chance to takes command he does it to the best of his abilities. Striving only for the best.   
Character’s Background
    Xenon comes from a rich family on an island city on the planet Daca. Being from a rich family, Xenon was enrolled at a private school for a majority of his life so his social activity was limited to the kids at his school who he luckily got along with. When it was time for him to pick what he was going to do with his life, he picked a pilot because then he would have more freedom. When he was 18 years old he got a job as the co-pilot of a trading ship that traveled to his home city. After about 3 years at the job he was promoted and became the pilot of his own ship which did small runs to the surrounding moons. After a year on the job he got bored and started to look for something more exciting, and then he found the Navy. Xenon knew what the Navy was; he had heard stories about it in school and from his parents: that it and the Empire were just a group of insane humans seeking to rule the galaxy. Because of the seclusion of his home planet, Xenon did not know if all theses stories were true.
  That was, until one night in a bar, were Xenon first saw a fellow Mon Calamarian walking in a group of TIE-fighter pilots who were on leave. Xenon was shocked that a member of his race could be doing such a disgraceful thing. It didn't take long for Xenon to rise from his table and ask the young solider why he joined the Navy. After a long discussion, Xenon learned that the Mon Calamarian had had the same views as Xenon about the Navy but wanted to find out for himself, so the Mon Calamarian had joined. It turned out that the Navy was not what either of them thought at all. The Mon Calamarian  said that the Imperial Navy was a place were you could make a difference. A place were one could protect what one loved from the many things that lurked in space. But he said that the biggest thing that it would do was be a great profession for a worthy pilot. Xenon had so much to take in that he didn't know what to say so not very long after talking to the young pilot, Xenon decided to find out for himself.
  The receptionist at the recruitment center looked shocked when Xenon asked to meet with someone who could give him more information on the Navy. After a short meeting with a Navel officer who told Xenon of the Empire’s goals and the need for troops, Xenon knew this is where he needed to be. His views had changed, Xenon had learned that the well being of his race and any other race under the rule of the Empire were the very thing they were fighting for, regardless of the races’ opinions or faults. It was shocking to Xenon to hear that a band of rogue bandits had been roaming the Galaxy around Draca a few months earlier and that the Navy had exterminated the threat with ease. But Xenon was sold when the officer told Xenon of an alternative to being a TIE fighter pilot, and this alternative was Command, fleet command.
  The Navy officer smiled when he saw a small smile cross Xenon's face when he mentioned this and proceeded to explain it more. Things like how promotions would lead to high ranking command on a large Imperial vessel. The officer how ever had to crush what ever excitement Xenon had about the topic by telling him that the Command School program was closed for the time being and that it's reopening date was unknown, but Xenon didn't really mind because he could still be a pilot. 
  When Xenon returned home and told his family about his decisions, but they were furious. His father got so angry he said that he never wanted to see his son again. Xenon's mother assured him that his father did not mean that but that he might want to leave for a while and let everyone get used to Xenon's choice. So Xenon left and after a quick interview in the recruiting office, it was time for Xenon to start a new chapter of his life.


OOC:
I know it's short but I would like my character to shape as I write.

Great start, but I'm going to need more detail throughout, especially in the background section.  Mon Calamari are incredibly rare in the VE: their home planet is on the other side of the Galaxy from our territories, and they tend to hold deeply anti-Imperial beliefs.  It's possible to play a Mon Cal character, but I'm going to need to see you can justify that unusual choice with a background that makes sense.  Why is he joining the VE?

I appreciate your efforts, taking the time to go through a few iterations, Crewman.  I'd still like to see more detail regarding his decision (what, specifically, does "making a difference" mean to your character, and why is it so important to him that he is willing to break up his family over it) but provisionally, this is acceptable.  One more thing, though, before you move on: edit the bio, correcting typos and misspellings, please.  Once you've done that, post again here, with a link to your character's wiki page (with the edited bio, and any further revisions adding detail if you seriously want to impress me... ), and then you'll be clear for the next step.

I just have on thing concerning your requests... I have never been able to make a wiki (this goes for V55 also). My Accounts just never run. I have a thread on the help area if you want more info, but besides that I'll get right on everything you said.


EDIT: Revised the bio.

You're clear to move to Chapter 2 of Flight School, Crewman.  Good work.  Keep trying to sort out your problems with the wiki, though: eventually, we're going to need to hook you into that, to help your fellow members (and you) keep track of your character and your stories.

The post was fine, Xenon, although there were a few typos.  Unfortunately, your OOC ability to follow directions was being tested as well, and you haven't done that, for Chapter 2.  Most obvious: the training simulation takes place in a nebula, and features 2 squadrons of friendly TIE Interceptors versus two squadrons of enemy TIE Interceptors.  I don't know why, then, in your post, you were fighting Y-wings and X-wings.  Also, the instructions told you to post again to your training thread (here, in other words) after you'd posted to Raptor: Disaster!, and you haven't yet.

So, I'm going to ask you to post once more to the Raptor: Disaster! thread, this time making sure to deal with the given circumstances of the story, and also making sure you post here after you finish.  You can do this, Crewman!  I'm looking forward to seeing you reach active duty; you're almost there!

Sorry for the errors. I don't know why I said Y- Wings. I won't lye that I was rushing through the post because of a trip so I'll get on fixing it right away.

If you want to edit your post to incorporate the changes, that's okay too, X10.  I just need to see the assignment fulfilled, one way or the other, before we can move you to the last stage of training.

You pass Chapter 2, Crewman.  Well done.  Move on to Chapter 3, and report to me via PM.  Post a copy of the report here in this thread as well, and we'll get you placed.

Report for the week of - 7/16/12
Crewman Xenon reporting

  This week I have continued on my basic training and my training in flight school. After having to rewrite my biography and Raptor post I have been allowed to enter the final stage of my training. Besides my activity mentioned above, I have only spent brief time on the Com.

Okay.  Only one more thing to do, which got missed because of your troubles making a wiki page: I need to see an ID line for you, Xenon.  Assume that you will be placed in an empty slot in Tuk'ata Squadron, and show me what your ID Line will look like.  Then you'll be done with training!

Your ID line should be laid out like this:

FM/CRW "X10"/blank/S:82 Tuk'ata/W:58 Javelin/ISD Halcyon Warrior/TF:A 1Flt/SFC/VEN/VE

You'll change 'blank' to your flight position when you are positioned -- a squadron is made up of three or more flights, Aurek, Besh and Cresh. As you can see from my ID line, I am B-1, or Besh 1.

FM is your position -- 'Flight Member'.  82nd Squadron (S:82), "Tuk'ata" is your prospective squadron, which is a part of the 58th Fighter Wing (W:58) 'Javelin', stationed aboard the Imperial Star Destroyer (ISD) Halcyon Warrior.

The Warrior in turn is a part of Task Force Aurek (TF:A), 1st Fleet (1Flt), and you are a part of the Starfighter Corps (SFC), of the Vast Empire Navy (VEN).

I hope that makes sense

Ok, I understand it now. What was really getting me was what to put for squad, position, docking vessel... so on. So use what you put in your post as my line?

Yes. You will be assigned a flight number when you are placed in an active squadron officially For the time being, though, you can put your position as "B-3", as that is the first open position. You might have to change it later though.

Technically, I think the Warrior is part of Task Force Besh for now, but no matter: you've demonstrated you know what the ID Line system is all about, and that's all I needed to see.   

Congratulations, Xenon: you've passed Basic Training and Starfighter School!  You are hereby promoted to Leading Crewman, and you've been placed as Cresh 2, in Tuk'ata Squadron.  You'll be wingman to the SXO, Chief Petty Officer Ryn.  Report in to the squadron thread, and your leaders and mates will tell you how to start writing!
