I'm ready for my training to begin.

As for myself, I'm 17 years old, and go by Dagothen for personal reasons. I've been into text based roleplaying for quite a few years now and am eager to get started here. I do love in the United States, and have a great love for Star Wars.

I look forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome to the VEN. Hopefully I get this up before Tomas and can say 'let me be the first to welcome you to the VE.'

Glad to see you found your way here.

With this post you've completed the Imperial Initiation (II) phase of Basic Training (BT).  Nicely done. BT's second phase is called Flight School (FS), which is made up of three chapters and an exam.  The first chapter, and probably the most important aspect of our system, is that of Character Creation - the bio.  In order for your character to exist in our club, our own little universe if you will, they must be created. Providing the background stories,  personalities and the physical aspects of the character help make it much more enjoyable (and interesting) for everyone. This may be things we (the other characters) are aware of with a glance or perhaps things we can not see with the naked eye.  Either way, you're going to tell us how to describe you're character in a more detailed fashion than you're probably used to, but that's part of the fun.

If you'll follow the link below, you'll be able to see the entirety of Flight School, the portion of BT I was referring to above.  BT is, essentially, training and thus, once you've passed through it, you're going to be placed in an Active Squadron, in 'Active Duty'.  So, depending on how well you do here against the recruits currently training here, you'll receive a rank at the end of your training and receive certain recommendations or promotions.  You'll want to go to Chapter 1- Character Development.  So, lets get off to a good start and get you going...

http://www.vastempire.com/wiki/index.php?title=Flight_School_%28FS%29

In summary: Write a bio about your character, you can find many examples on the Wiki if you're having trouble. Just read some of the ones by other pilots. They will also to give you an idea of what kind of information to include.

Once this is completed we will grade it and move you onto the next section, which will be described in further detail at that time. I encourage you to get on IRC in some form or another and if you're using mIRC (or anything that allows you to join more than one channel, find your way into #VENA) I am on most nights and would be glad to answer any questions you might have.

Welcome to the Navy!

PS There is also an academy story on the Naval Story Board entitled "Battlefront: Suvari Conflict". Once you've got your bio done feel free to pop over there and check it out. Most of the information you'll need is in the first post. Posting on it is not a requirement to getting through the academy, but it can be a fun place to get a feel for the kind of things we do here so feel free to try it out.

Welcome again, and I hope to hear from you again soon.

-Luckystar  (This quote thing could be nice- bit big though...)

By all means, I fully encourage everyone to welcome new recruits- we are not a division after all, but a club.

As is my style, allow me to introduce myself as the TO (Training Officer) of our humble abode.  My TX will probably be stopping in as well; the both of us will be watching and pushing you onto the next step.  After you've gotten a bio written, we'll put you in battle to see how you fair- I hope you enjoy it.  Welcome to the Academy

Player Information



Name: Dagothen


RP experience: Three years.


Character Information


Character Name: Illeon Dagothen


Age: 18

Relatives:

His father-Sven Dagothen
His mother-Nimera Dagothen


Overall Appearance: Standing at 6 feet, and weighing 165 pounds, Dagothen is has a very rugged appearance. With long black hair and a sharp black goatee, his cold hard stare can bring fear into many people. His body is also very lean and muscular due to his intense work out and practice.


Personality:

Personality: He is a cold person, not really caring of others and their problems. His only concern is achieving absolute success in the fleet, and someday being it's grand admiral. He is very serious, and not very talkative unless it is asked of him by his commanding officers. When his life is threatened, like all he fears, but no one would know it in a million years. His coldness however is not always a good thing.

It should be mentioned however, that deep down he does actually believe in love. While, as I mentioned, he isn't one to have buddies, or associate much with those around him, a girlfriend is something he direly not only needs, but looks for. After so many years of having no one to show his deep passion too, he has much to give.

He is also very passionate about everything he does.

History:

Born on Denon, his parents never wanted him. Both of them being very involved in criminal organisations there, his existance only slowed them down, and was a mistake in the first place. His father was a Balla-the Balla gang was very recognized in the Denon underworld and the second most leader in the spice trade-and wasn't around much. His mother on the other hand was a Golux-the first most well known and feared gang on Denon, and the leader of the spice trade, and sworn enemys of the Ballas. These two gangs hated each other, and if either of them found out of his parents marriage, they would be killed. Because of this, at the early age of three years old, they stuck him on a freighter knowing they would never see him again.

Found on the ship by the pilot there, for the next five years this would be his home. The pilot Paul, and his wife May, lived on the ship constantly and had never been successful in having their own children. It was for this reason they welcomed Dagothen opened armed. The wife nutured him, and the husband taught him much of piloting when he was old enough to comprehend it. This is where his first love of flying began to take root. Later on though, nearing the age of ten and a half, Dagothen's "dark" side began to show. He began acting out harshly to them, telling them things like "I can gain no more from you two," and "Your lives are pathetic! Making deliveries all day long without a proper place to call home!"

It wasn't too long after that he found himself in an orphanage on COrd Cantrell. He quickly got himself the title of Problem child their as well, but he didn't care. By this time, he had fully developed the attitude that would stay with him through life, he didn't care about his orphan brothers and sisters and only saw them as children needing even more help to live then him. When couples came in to look at the children, he was always sneered at, almost as if they knew he was the black sheep of them all.

In the end, he never was adopted again. At age 16, he was released from the orphanage into the world to find his own path. At first it was hard for him, not having anyone he could turn too since he had burnt all his bridges with everyone he had known already, surviving became the only thing important. He used his skills in persuasion and thievery to live, but that soon grew old, and he knew it was time to move on. Two years later,at the age of 18, while talking to an old drunk on the street carrying an Imperial Recruiting flyer that the idea to join the fleet struck him. He quickly signed up, and was sent to the Military Training Academy.


Possessions:

Vibrosword-a normal vibrosword he has owned since his teen years. He is very profecient with it.

Magazine full of dancing twi leks-his enjoyment

Nice bio Dagothen. I am slightly new at this whole bio critiquing thing, but I found it well done. The only bit of info that might not fit is the Imperial Recruiting on Coruscant. We are a different organization from the Imperial Remnant, etc who would like be the recruiters on Coruscant. In other words we would not likely be recruiting on Coruscant. Judging from the five year gap, there may be a bit of your history missing...

Seeing as how it is now five years since you joined the Military Academy in your bio, a suggestion I'd make is perhaps you have left the academy for some reason (didn't like it, discharged due to this "dark side" you mentioned earlier, fleet you were serving with was nearly destroyed and you took that opportunity to get out and find someone else)...

Alternatively, you could probably mention that the old drunk carried the recruiting flyer, but make it come off as a lesser known academy, rather than "the" Military Training Academy.

These are just some ideas, if you have any questions feel free to ask me.

As far as the next step in training I have heard that it may be changing, so I will advise you as soon as I can confirm (don't want to make you do things you didn't have to). In the meantime feel free to post on the story entitled "Battlefront: Suvari Conflict (VENA)" on the "StoryNet".

Alright man- not lookin too bad.  What I'd like you to do, as soon as you're satisfied with your bio, is go to the main StoryNet on the boards here: should be near the top of the ComNet.  Once you're in, there's a story called Battlefront: Conflict of Suvari (VENA), or something close to it.  The idea of that story is just to get you in a fighter, doesn't matter if you provide much background on why you're there, and just start posting battle.  I'd like you to be in an interceptor as your character, and let's see what you can come up with- we'll spend about a day or so on it and I'll give you some comments before I send you off to your final Chapter- 'Pilot Procedures,' though you can do it whilst posting.  If you have any questions whatsoever about the info or order I just gave you above, just message me right away and I'll get back to you as soon as possible, because I really would like to seem some posts before we get you into a squadron.  Either way, you should enjoy it- it's pretty much a bloodfest, lol.  I'll post right on top of your posts to help you keep an even story running.
