Hello,
Skiller here and I'm reporting for duty.

(if you are wondering, my name is a combination of Stormtrooper (S) and kill (the rest)).

Hello and welcome to the Vast Empire Naval Academy, Crewman.

I'm Senior Chief Petty Officer Demetrius Aita, or Hades for short, and I'll be your Training Officer (TO) while you complete each of the stages of the Navy Academy's Orientation program. You'll see me around the Comnet, and I'll be here to guide you through the stages of what we refer to as 'Starfighter School', where you'll learn  to roleplay as the pilot of an Imperial Starfighter alongside numerous others of the Vast Empire or if you choose it, 'Fleet School', where you will learn to roleplay as a crewman aboard one of the Vast Empire's capital ships.

By completing your post here, you have successfully passed Imperial Initiation - congratulations - and are now clear to begin basic training (found here) which will prepare you for day-to-day life in the Vast Empire (VE) and your duties as a member of the Vast Empire Navy.. From here you have two choices – continue in the Vast Empire as a Starfighter pilot, with all the excitement of flying highly-advanced TIE fighters, or choose the path of a capital ship crewman!

The next step in your training is to visit your chosen method of entryl Starfigher school's wiki page, found here or Fleet School, found here and start work on the first chapter, entitled 'Chapter 1: Character Development'. There, you'll write a bio of your character and figure out the ID line system. When you're completed, please post both your bio and ID line on this thread for me to review so we can move on to chapter 2. Here at the VE, we write stories in past tense and third person - you should also follow this tradition.

Again, I'll be here to assist you if you need help, so just send a Private Message to "Hades"  using the Comnet's very own private message system or go to the Naval Academy's channel on IRC (#VENA) and pose your question within! If you find yourself unable to do either of the above, contact any Naval personnel and they should be able to tell you what to do until your TO (me) can get back to you.

Finally, welcome to the Vast Empire and the best of luck for whatever school you choose!

Regards,

Senior Chief Petty Officer Demetrius Aita, Executive Officer of Naval Training

Name:
Height: 6'2
Species: Human
Occupation: pretty obvious
Homeworld: Coruscant
Age: 21
Biography:

Physical Description:
6'2, 173 pounds...well built, muscular, brown hair. Has a scar down his arm (from the wrist to the elbow).

Personality
Skiller is somewhat over logical, which often causes him to overthink in situations that require fast thinking. Skiller is also anti-social, preferring to spend his days by himself.


Character's Background
Born on Coruscant and raised during trifling periods of the Clone Wars, he was raised a deep Republic supporter. His father was a drunk who had left Skiller at the age of 8. Her mother, on the other hand, was a school teacher who often wanted Skiller to become a teacher like her. However, Skiller was not interested in becoming a teacher and continuously expressed his dream to travel the galaxy. At the age of 13 he had already a job as a merchant apprentice. He traveled to various worlds, including (Dasheek, Aldeeran, Tatoonie and Hoth among others) learning useful information about the galaxy and returned to Coruscant at the age of 19 to become a professor on linguistics. Although enjoying his job, he was becoming increasingly depressed. He yearned to travel the galaxy again, and quit his job as a professor and traveled to the world of Dasheek, where he became a gambler. Losing everything in a bet, however, left him in a state of desperation. Remembering his apprenticeship, and how exciting it was to experience naval combat encouraged him to join the Imperial Navy.

[Revised; Draft #5. this is probably the best I can do, I don't see a way to expand my character any further than this.]

Alright, a good, well thought out start, but you'll need to go into more detail, Crewman Skiller

For your bio, you should aim to have around three paragraphs of writing. Go into detail about your younger life -- such as parents and family -- schooling as a child, about his formative years as an apprentice, about what information he gathered from the galaxy at large and how his travels went (i.e a few places he went) about his academic career (what was he a professor of? Why specifically did he choose that line of work?) and finally why he chose to join the Vast Empire, not just the Imperial Remnant led by Thrawn, or the Imperial Dominion (another antagonist of the VE's)..

It may seem like a lot of work, but it's worth it!

Again, more detail is needed. I appreciate the revision, but try and expand on some details. Take mine as an example:
Quote:Physical Description
Hades, at 5"11 and 80kgs was not exceptionally heavy or tall.. however, he was extremely fit, his build was muscular, yet slim from years of surviving in the criminal world of Nar Shaddaa. He displayed speed, agility and strength born only of one who needed such skills to survive. A scar ran from the end of his left brow, around his left eye and down onto his left cheekbone. 

Personality
Hades was extremely cunning and quick witted, usually having a sense for danger.. however, he often found himself getting into it due to his love for adventure, and his thrill seeking tendencies. He was moody at times, being polite and cold with barely a minute between the attitudes, sometimes alienating his own friends. He had a tendency to be 'grumpy' in the mornings, resulting in a bad mood perpetually throughout the days of the week. He hated alcohol and drugs, including deathsticks, and made a foolish habit of stealing people's deathsticks and flushing them down the 'fresher. He often spoke sharply to others, as his mind followed its train of thought, at times offending people by his accurate insight. Although he had stolen while in the gangs, Hades was no thief; he stole only what was necessary for survival and did not steal from those who had nothing else to live on.

Character’s Background
Born on Nar Shaddaa, the child of two poor parents, Hades himself had no destiny other than poverty  ahead. However, at the age of 3, he escaped from home, displaying remarkable courage and perseverance to do so. He found shelter at a local orphanage, hiding until his parents came for him. He escaped again, this time with the help of an Imperial deserter. Hades and the deserter scavenged what food shelter they could from the local gangs, which often got them into sticky situations, saved only by his quick thinking. Even as a child he showed speedy decision making. Until the age of 7, he lived as a scavenger. On his 7th birthday, however, he and the deserter met another child on the run who had 3 more children with him.. they decided to form a gang of sorts, to help them survive.  The gang grew in size, attracting children and youths from poverty to run away and join the gang. Eventually they stole some weapons, to ensure their own safety, and became unwittingly, an armed gang.

They held up several diners and tapcafes, which gained the attention of the local Hutt Cartel. Hades himself was captured at one point and tortured by a Hutt, gaining the scar on his left eye. During his time in the gangs he learnt Mando'a, Shyriiwook, Minnisiat and Huttese. By the age of 17 his gang had grown into an armed faction on Nar Shaddaa, and was often hired for protection or for raids.. however, this was not to be.. on his 19th birthday, Hades' gang raided an Imperial munitions depot, as they were running low on ammunition. The attack was a failure, and Hades was captured saving one of his men. He was sentenced to life imprisonment on Kessel, never to be heard from again...

However, his competence had attracted the attention of an Imperial Officer present at the munitions depot. This Imperial Officer, unbeknown to Hades, had been on the verge of being arrested for treason by the troops. So Hades had unknowingly saved his life.. 2 years later as the larger Empire was collapsing, the officer found Hades and put to him an offer that would repay his debt to Hades - serve the rest of his sentence, or join the Imperial Military, of the newly formed Vast Empire. Hades had always been awed by the Imperials, it had been his dream as a child to join up, and so he did so with enthusiasm...

Sorry to sound like I'm nagging you, but expansion is everything -- have things like what he did as a child (i.e. friends and things) what he did as a Merchant's apprentice (i.e. he packed boxes, helped organise cargo manifests, plotted navigational charts, etc.). It's the little details that make characters seem more real. What languages does he speak as a result of studying linguistics? Which is his favourite?

Add those things and I'll leave you alone, for now

Really? I know creating your character can seem daunting at first, but it pays off afterward -- that much I can guarantee you. Don't you want to give it a chance, at least?

The Navy seems like too much of a task for me, I'd prefer to start off with the Army instead. Not that it requires less writing.

Anyways, thanks for the help, I look forward to seeing you in the future.

I can tell you that both the Navy and the Army have similar entry requirements; but if you truly wish to transfer to army you'll have to make another post on the Main ComNet expressing such a desire.

Good luck
