Welcome to the Vast Empire Naval Academy, Ross! 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

Physical Appearance

Homeworld: Correlia
Age: 29
Species: Human
Native Language:Human Galctic Basic
Gender:Basic Male
Skin Color:Male Light Tan
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 184
Hair Color: Black
Facial Hair: Trimmed Beard
Eye Color: Green
Scars: None
Tattoos: Left Arm Sleeve, Right Shoulder

Physical Description

Ross is of average height with stark black hair. It is usually kept rather long and disheveled but is still short enough to be styled to the side for a more formal appearance. Ross keeps a short beard mostly because he's too lazy to maintain a clean face with how quickly it grows. His heavyset eyebrows and shallow bags beneath his eyes make him look more tired than he actually is. He is in peak physical condition and moderately muscled due to his training in Echani martial arts, a hobby he started at a young age. Over the years he has commissioned many tattoos along his left arm and one of a large meditation fish on his right shoulder.

Personality

Ross is a friendly fellow, lighthearted and slow to anger. He always tries to see the best in people and usually maintains a positive outlook on life. A music enthusiast and art lover, one will often find him humming to himself or singing idly. He loves to drink and can often be found at a nearby bar or cantina, enough to be considered borderline alcoholic. He almost always keeps a flask of his favorite Correlian ale on his person.

Character’s Background

Born and raised on Correlia by his father, Davin, and his mother, Anji, Ross had a happy childhood with his younger brother, Wes. He attended a university in Coronet City to study art. Unable to find an immediate job as an artist, he joined his father's trading business as a pilot of a cargo frigate. Meanwhile, his brother had joined the holovid industry as an actor. Ross got his good friend Ender a job with his father's company aboard his ship as an extra crew member. Ross and Ender met at the university as spice buddies. Ender convinced Ross to start a smuggling career under the guise of his father's company. The two of them maintained their smuggling operation successfully for a number of years.

Their luck eventually failed them when they were caught with their cargo full of illegal spices. Their ship was attacked by pirates that had caught wind of their smuggling operation. They managed to escape, but with the ship badly damaged, they had to stop at the closest planet for costly repairs. One of the engineers working on the ship discovered the contraband and blackmailed Ross for all he was worth. Despite paying the man, they soon found their ship searched by local authorities who had been tipped about the smugglers cargo. Ross was arrested and fined, forcing his father to come and bail him out. Having shamed his father and damaging the reputation of the company with the scandal, he was disowned and fired. Jobless and creditless, Ross wanted to restore his dignity and one day return to face his father with honor. With his experience as pilot, he decided to join the Imperial Navy.

I'm not sure what the rest of the details should be for my ID line, so hopefully this will do for now

As long as you've got the idea, it's all good Bio looks great! Complete Chapter 1 Part 3, the wiki page, and then we should be ready to move on.

I can't edit the wiki page until I get the email confirmation but I still haven't gotten it yet. I've been waiting all day now.

Sorry, it's always been a bit flaky Check your spam folder, and I'll see if I can get in touch with the wiki admin.

Wiki's supposed to be 100% fully automated though... Check the spam too just to be on the safe side and if it's still not there try and recreate the account. And if that also doesn't work, drop us another line and we'll solve it manually, using old school methods (including but not limited to purely technical ones...)

IMPORTANT EDIT: I agree with a certain Rear Admiral's opinion, and am thus allowing you to move on to the next phase of your training. Said phase involves you posting once or twice on either 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. Consider your options and think what career path would best suit you and then just open the desired thread, read the first post to get an idea of what exactly's expected of you, maybe read a few of the other posts made by other graduates too in order to get some ideas and inspiration... and finally just post.

Good luck!

PS - Oh, and keep us updated with the wiki situation too. We'll want to fix that ASAP as well

Alright thanks. I checked my spam folder and found the email in there so I'll be making my wiki page soon. I'll also probably post later today. I think I want to join the fleet as a bridge officer.

Do not worry about that. It can be sorted out fairly easily. It will, however, take some time to do. Therefore, just leave it with us and carry on with the training for now.

I posted to the Fleet School story. It's not finished yet, but I wanted to put something up and hopefully get it checked since I saw that a new story will be starting soon.

Looking good, Crewman. I'm giving you a pass for your post. One thing, however: try to use less paragraphs. Remember that other people want to read what you've posted, and too many paragraphs just break up the flow. A bit more detail would also be nice. However, as the main point of that test was to see how well you write, you pass

Congratulations. You are cleared to move on to the next section of your training: reporting. Please write a report, and then send a copy to myself and TO Maroy, and then post a copy here.

Thank you, Gurlanin. Here's a copy of my report.

So far I've posted in the Naval Academy my introductory post Reporting In and my first story post in Fleet School Trainees: Loyalty, Honor, Courage. I also created my character bio and wiki page.

Here's my updated report. I sent it to you and Maroy again as well.


Ross’s Report: 11/2/13
Activity:
So far I've posted in the Naval Academy my introductory post Reporting In and my first story post in Fleet School Trainees: Loyalty, Honor, Courage. I also created my character bio and wiki page.

Upcoming plans:
I plan to finish my post on the Fleet School story and continue to post on any new stories that start.

Questions/Suggestions:
Since I'm in training, should there be anything else in my ID line?
