Welcome to the Vast Empire Naval Academy, Cuchulain! I'm Training Officer Maroy, and I'm in charge of guiding you while you are in our Orientation program.

As you've probably noticed, we here in the Vast Empire do play-by-post roleplaying. As a new Crewman, you'll start out in either Flight School or Fleet School. Graduates from Flight School become members of a squadron in the Starfighter Corps, while graduates from Fleet School become bridge officers on one of the Navy's warships. Higher positions, some of which require you to take leadership over other members, will open up as you advance through our ranks.

That concludes Imperial Initiation, the first part of your training. You are now free to begin working on the second part, located on the Vast Empire's wiki: Basic Training. Basic Training is designed to familiarize and prepare you for the privileges and duties of a typical member of the Vast Empire Navy.

Upon completion of Basic Training, you may proceed to either Flight School or Fleet School on the wiki and begin working on the first chapter, 'Character Development'. It will guide you through the process of creating a biography and ID line for your character. Please note that any and all references to the Force or related concepts such as lightsabers are strictly forbidden. All in-character posts, including your bio, should be written in third-person past-tense unless otherwise stated. Please post a reply to this thread with both your biography and ID line, so I can review them and offer corrections if necessary.

I am here to help, so if you have any questions please contact me in one of the following ways:
  •  Comnet Message
  •  Javachat IRC or your own IRC client
  •  Reply to this thread

If for any reason I do not reply to any of the above within two or three days, contact any other member of the Navy and they should be able to help.

Again, welcome to the Vast Empire! Good luck in whatever path you follow!

Regards,

Training Officer Maroy

Biography
Physical Appearance
Homeworld: Coruscant
Species: Human-Chiss Hybrid
Native Language: Galactic Basic
Gender: Male
Skin Color: Fair
Height: 6' 1"
Weight: 165 lb
Hair Color: Black
Facial Hair: None
Eye Color: Glowing Red
Scars: Three short scars running across his chest
Tattoos: None

Physical Description: Raised in a diplomatic family, Rutzick is always fastidiously groomed. He is slender, but well built, from  the efforts of dozens of trainers. His hair is always groomed according to the latest imperial fashions, but he always stays shaved.

Personality: Coming from diplomatic background, Rutzick is always impeccably polite, and always willing to contribute to a conversation. However, he is a bit arrogant, and usually believes he knows mores then anyone else. In his free time, he can usually be found reading or viewing the latest in political and diplomatic views.

Backstory:
Sam Rutzick was born on Imperial Center (Coruscant) in 8 BBY, the son of a prostitute and a heirless Chiss Ambassador. Adopted by the Ambassador, Mila'nadar'ialal and his wife, Rutzick was trained from childhood to become the next ambassador and to take up his father's political position. He was taught by the best Chiss diplomats, trained by their best soldiers and traveled in the top social circles. However, his arrogance and background kept him isolated from his peers, and he stayed mainly in his family's compound on Coruscant.

He eventually found love in a fellow ambassador's child; Tellan Fey'la, the daughter of the Bothan ambassador. However, Rutzick's father forbid him to see her, and, heartbroken, he fled Coruscant, and used his father's contacts to gain a position in the Imperial Navy in 8ABY.

Looks pretty good. Just a quick heads-up, Chiss are one of our "problematic" player species,  so I'll need to check with my superiors if it's allowed in this case. Anyway, next is a wiki page and ID line as per the Character Development page on the wiki. Feel free to use other trainees' work as reference if you get stuck.

ID Line Done.
OOC: Im fine with changing to plain human if that's easier. Just out of curiosity, why are Chiss problamatic?

Chiss as a species tend to stay withing their own territory and don't form alliances very often, so there aren't very many Chiss serving in the imperial splinter factions or the New Republic. I think your case is probably justified, though, as long Rutzick acknowledges he's a bit of an oddity The main reason we have the species guidelines is to prevent people from being overpowered, ridiculous, or acting extremely out-of-character for their species (Wookiees, for example, are probably not super-eager to sign up for the Empire ).

ID line's good. Carry on

Wiki page is good. Passed! Next up is a post, either on Disaster! if you want to join the Starfighter Corps as a pilot, or Loyalty, Honor, Courage if you want to join the Fleet as a bridge officer. Read through the first post detailing the scenario, and skim a few of the other trainees' posts to get a feel for what we're looking for.
