hehehe. Alrighty. I'll post your spot back up, good sir! Also, I've made a change. Another soldier spot is open, just in case, as I have realized that I will be playing NPCs and the like, so I don't want two main characters.
Define crazy, Raptor. We already have one slightly off person.
This means that we now have one computer techie and one soldier.

Name: Jimmy "The Network" Graves
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Physical Profile: Jimmy is an overweight white American in his early thirties. He has a very rounded face, big cheeks, a double chin, and wears a trucker hat. He wears a black t-shirt that reads "Heavy Metal". He also wears baggy cargo pants.
Complete Record of Service: This will be Jimmy's first official "mission" with a mercenary group. That however does not mean that he is not qualified. Jim Graves, as he was called during his five year span at NASA, was the youngest computer tech on the staff. He helped program and create the computer systems on several lunar and planetary landers.
After being fired by NASA for dripping ketchup on several pieces of high tech equipment while eating a hamburger in an area he was not authorized to be in, Jimmy turned to hacking. His first attempt at hacking, and the origin of his nickname "The Network", landed Jimmy in jail for three years.
The incident in question was the hacking of all NASA network computer monitors. Jimmy placed a photoshop picture of himself having hardcore sex with the woman who had single handedly fired Jimmy six months prior, on the computer monitor of ever NASA computer. After serving his time in jail, Jimmy Graves returned to the computer tech community, a hero.
Jimmy's name spread throughout the hacking community, landing him jobs on several different private sectors. His most recent span of employment involved decoding and rewriting alien software for military use. Jimmy Graves doesn't get off of his ass for much of anything other than to get another Mt. Dew from the fridge or take a deuce, but due to the large amount of capital that has been offered, he couldn't refuse the the mission in question. In short, Jimmy is a highly capable computer tech, but he doesn't have a clue what he is getting himself into.
Psychological Profile:
Analysis by Dr. Adam Parks
"Jimmy's mental capacity is well beyond that of most individuals. His IQ is off the charts, but his focus is sometimes disturbing. When given the ink blot test his answers often had to deal with parts of the female anatomy. I'm going to write it off as a simple lack of sex. I also had to repeat myself several times during the analysis due to his minor hearing loss that he blamed on Metallica and Pantera. I don't know who those two individuals are, but they need to tune down the volume or over the years their loudness may lead to Jimmy's hearing loss. "
Position: Computer Tech
Skills:
-Password cracking
The process of recovering passwords from data that has been stored in or transmitted by a computer system. A common approach is to repeatedly try guesses for the password. The purpose of password cracking might be to help a user recover a forgotten password (though installing an entirely new password is less of a security risk, but involves system administration privileges), to gain unauthorized access to a system, or as a preventive measure by system administrators to check for easily crackable passwords. On a file-by file basis, password cracking is utilized to gain access to digital evidence for which a judge has allowed access but the particular file's access is restricted.
-Indirect attacks
An indirect attack is an attack launched by a third party computer. By using someone else's computer to launch an attack, it becomes far more difficult to track down the actual attacker. There have also been cases where attackers took advantage of public anonymizing systems, such as the tor onion router system.
-Backdoors
A backdoor in a computer system (or cryptosystem or algorithm) is a method of bypassing normal authentication, securing remote access to a computer, obtaining access to plaintext, and so on, while attempting to remain undetected. The backdoor may take the form of an installed program (e.g., Back Orifice), or could be a modification to an existing program or hardware device. A specific form of backdoors are rootkits, which replaces system binaries and/or hooks into the function calls of the operating system to hide the presence of other programs, users, services and open ports. It may also fake information about disk and memory usage.
-Social engineering
Social Engineering is the art of getting persons to reveal sensitive information about a system. This is usually done by impersonating someone or by convincing people to believe you have permissions to obtain such information.
-Viruses
A virus is a self-replicating program that spreads by inserting copies of itself into other executable code or documents. Therefore, a computer virus behaves in a way similar to a biological virus, which spreads by inserting itself into living cells.
While some are harmless or mere hoaxes most computer virus are considered malicious.
-Light Armor Proficiency
-Pistol Proficiency
Gear
- Mag 6 rapid fire pistol with gun belt and hip holster.
- XXL black combat armor rated for "light" combat situations.
- Very expensive laptop with various hacking programs.
- Mp3 player and ear buds loaded with heavy metal music.
- Screwdriver and wire splicing equipment.
- USB cord with only one USB port attachment in tact. The other side of the cord has been spliced and shows several multi-colored wires.
- Backpack filled with snacks, porno mags, and soda pop.

It is a great character and all, but you forgot the thing that all engineers are unofficially required to have in any hostile/survival situation.
A Shotgun!

)I don't know about you all, but I am excited about this RP. I've never been a part of a long lasting survival RP. I've been a part of a "survival" RP, by which I mean a run-and-gun invincible party that is under the guise of a survival RP. I've had high hopes for Extraction ever since Shadow made the upfront note about no one-hit kills.

Heheh. Glad to hear that you're so excited about it, Loki! And I intend for this rp to be an actual survival horror. No run and gun kill everything that moves! There will be blood! There will be fear! There will be death!
*cue evil laughter*
*coughs*
Anyways, I've been lazy and haven't gotten my character up yet, but that should change today. Also, in reguards to when this starts, my family is going off camping this weekend so it will most likely be next week before Extraction officially begins.

I had no idea... I wanted the rather defenseless engineer that kind of has to stand behind the big guns. I thought it would help increase the fear factor and help get me into character more
Thanks for the compliment though! I'm rather proud of it myself. It was a ton of fun making it.

Attention!
*Salutes*
Well, guys, here's the way things are lining up. I'm waiting on Christeson and Raptorman's (And I know you've been busy Raptorman, so no worries there.) characters, and intend to start tomorrow or Saturday. If they don't get their characters done on time, then that's perfectly fine, as I am more than happy to drag them along until they are done.
So, tomorrow hopefully, if not Saturday for sure. Sound good? If there's any qualms or worries, please let me know.
At ease soldiers!

Appologies for the double post (and my lying about starting...) but, I am sad to say that Raptorman has informed me he will be unable to participate. Which is fine, just means I now have three redshirts, unless we get more takers.
In other news, I finally finished my character sheet and I am getting started on the opener. So, with any luck, this will be up by later tonight!

LZ, Soliders!
Name: Tanis “Coop” Cooper
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Physical Profile: Cooper stands at a decent 5’8” tall, weighing in at 162 of solid muscle. Her dark red hair is cut short, falling to just above her chin. Years of fighting and military service have left her strong in both body and mind, and she has her fair few scars to show. Her skin is pale from long periods of time spent inside armor. Her eyes are a striking grey flecked with bits of green, but they are not her most notable feature. Often, the first thing people notice is her arm. Her left arm is entirely robotic, a heavy duty working model.
Complete Record of Service: Little is known about Tanis Cooper’s life before age 18. She was an orphan; abandoned to the streets of one of the great metropolises of old Earth; she was a street rat. She spent her childhood running with gangs of other children, scavenging to survive. At the age of 18, she enlisted in the military in order to escape the life of poverty.
She spent the next seven years fighting her way up through the ranks, serving to make the galaxy a better place for the common folk that she came from. Protecting those she could, giving others the means to protect themselves. She put most of her money away, her childhood having taught her to keep what she can and only use what she needed. When she was 26, a mission went horribly wrong and she was caught up in a terrible accident. Most of her left arm was blown off and the rest was too mangled to be saved. Luckily for Cooper, her savings managed to just be enough to cover the costs of a robotic replacement, and the medical costs needed to attach it. Unfortunately, during her recovery time she was discharged from the military.
She spent the next year healing, and mastering the use of her new arm. Once she was fully healed, she sought out the only form of employment she could: mercenary work. She quickly found herself as part of the Centari Private Military. She worked hard, and climbed through the ranks to eventually become the Sergeant leading Zeta squad.
Position: Soldier - Sergeant
Skills:
Leadership
Hand to hand combat
Situational reading
Decision making
On the spot improvisation
Minor piloting skills
Gear:
-Standard issue dark brown jumpsuit
-Solaris corp Seraph class combat armor
-Solaris corp heavy duty robotic arm with detachable armor plates
-KR-23 assault rifle
-T-3 heavy pistol
-12 inch modified combat knife
-Standard issue pack with various supplies
(fergot to put her gear down...whoops!)

I know you've got several players already here... but.. i saw that there's two soldier positions and a tech position un-filled... <.<.... >.>
Would you by chance be accepting more? Or are you closed off? I wouldn't be offended if you're closed off. I just really love this idea, and am huge into paramilitary/military Roles, as well as the whole idea of a GOOD survival story... >:]

As a matter of fact, the positions are open. Technically, I have four positions open, as I don't think Christeson is coming back.
Now, I've named the two soldiers, so if you want to take one of them you'll have to use the names: Jackson Danes or David Lamott.
As far as techies go (and I could really use someone playing one) they're open. No specified genders or names as of yet.
Now, currently the two soliders Jackson and Lamott are staying with the APC just in-case things go to hell in a hand basket. So, they won't be active for this first part and they'll miss the big reveal of what it is that we're all surviving.
Anywho, I'd love to have you if you're interested! Just let me know what position you want, then fill out a character sheet.

I could take a Tech spot. However, if it's something you're willing to consider as well, combining a soldier/tech. What i had in mind was a sort've ex-military SF guy- a linguist who did a lot of computer training and intelligence work etc. during his schooling.
If that sounds like its crossing too many lines- i'd much prefer a soldier spot

hmm...
Why don't you just go ahead and take one of the soldiers? I'm trying to keep things simple and the techies are supposed to be civvies through and through.
So, let me know which name you'll be taking, and then go ahead and work on your character sheet. Also, if you're interested a few new spots will be opening up here in the near future.
If you've got any questions on anything, please ask away! (either here or through PMs, whichever you prefer)

Okay sure. Sorry about that, heh. I wasn't sure if you wanted them to be 100% civillian. Maybe i missed that post -scratches head-.
Though i 'could' take a full techy spot- i'd be a little out of my league because i'm not too computer savvy.... Which is why i prefer a soldier spot. I'd be taking Danes if it's all the same
However--- define 'near future?' Depending, i may just let you guys play for a while before i hop in

Well basically near future is soon. We need to go grab Dr. Sorenson and have the dramatic unveiling. Which is what we're going towards right now.
..That probably didn't help answer your question. Sorry. :/
As for the techies being civilians, they're just your run of the mill computer technicians that are employed by Biosyn Corporation. The soldiers are part of Centari Private Military, which is basically a mercenary company that leases out its soldiers to the highest bidder. In this case, Biosyn was the highest bidder and thus Zeta squad was sent to act as an escort for the techies that are under the employ of Biosyn.
Did that all make sense?

that made perfect sense. I already got a feel for the mercenaries and stuff. I read some previous posts, flailing and squealing in my mind a bit... haha... Though i spose i missed the part about the techs. probably because i was overly excited about the entire thing i zoomed through it. ha!
But that -does- help, as far as the timing goes.
What would you think of me piloting Danes for a bit- until the new positions open up? I could easily do two profiles, unless the 'new' positions are going to have different stipulations...?

Hehe, it's fine. Happens to the best of us when we get all excited about things!
Glad that I was helpful. Sometimes I tend to ramble and confuse people. Specially when I'm running on minimal sleep. But! I digress.
For now, I can't reveal much about to new positions. But they will require a character sheet. Probably slightly modified.
And sure, go right ahead and pilot Danes until the new spots open up. If you take a liking to him, you're free to let him remain one of your characters. If not, he can easily be re-made into a NPC and thusly...a redshirt.

Name: Jackson Danes
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Physical Profile: He's got your typical high and tight haircut, sandy blonde hair, with a thin scar about two inches long running a little left of center of his hairline pointing back to his crown. Average height of 6', and a medium athletic build. He's green eyed, and His face is sort of square shaped. Five o'clock shadow, something he's not really used to having due to his continued military habits, now adorns his face from being lazy and lax with his grooming. No tattoos, or other markings of note.
Complete Record of Service: He's done two tours in the war on planet Sahara, a mostly hot and dry climate. Deserts and small greened areas. There were aggressive actions taken between the two ruling parties on the inhabited areas on the surface, leading to the in-step of the United Alliance. His first tour he saw no action, however after his first six month tour he was sent back shortly after, in which his battallion was met with heavy resistance. He also participated in a large flashpoint engagement in the Mobius system, where his unit was perched on the frontlines to establish a strong presence against the agressing commonwealth forces. He was stopped from re-enlisting by catching more word of the Centari private military company.....
Just after getting out of the military, Jackson applied -almost as a joke- to Centari. Upon recieving his enlistment papers, and undergoing their PT testing, he was selected as a member. Ever since, he's been doing contract work for them, attached to Zeta squad.
Position: Soldier
Skills:
Mechanics
Communications [radio]
Vehicle Operation [Tread or wheel]
Navigation
Small arms operation
Gear:
Digital Camouflage [mostly olive and tan with black and brown] jumpsuit
dark olive medium armor weave plating
Assault Carbine with several extra magazines, painted lightly for terrain camouflage
semi automatic pistol on his left hip for cross-draw access
NavGear Photo enabled binoculars with night vision settings
2 Light Grenades
Okay. and i'd love to play a new one once that opens up... >=] keeping or leaving Danes i'll decide in the future i'm sure.

I'll accept him, long as you cut the c-4 and the computer. We already got a guy with explosives and some tech skills.
Anywho, welcome to the team, Solider! I'll throw you up on the roster. Feel free to post if you want.
And soon as the new positions are available, you'll be the first to know!
Now then...
*looks about* I need posts from people...don't make me get out the beating stick!

And no worries. By the way, the first post here has been updated with your stuff.
