Dark Side of the Moon

[Sebastian Markes]

The Theo Grande drifts now in the vacuum of space. What once was a proud battleship now is little more than scrap it’s hull compromised, it’s crew all but slaughtered and its computers failing at a rapid rate. It’s only a matter of time now, only a matter of time.

Basic Concept: The Space Battleship ‘Theo Grande’ is performing a routine border patrol when it is blind sided by a fleet of smaller pirate ships. In the ensuing battle the pirates are defeated, but two larger attack ships appear and practically destroys the Theo Grande. In a last ditch bid to survive the Theo Grande performs a hyperspace jump and gets out of the battle. It now drifts around a moon hoping to avoid detection.

The Theo Grande is a sitting duck. It’s weapons are offline, it’s hull is breached, fires rage throughout the lower decks, atmosphere has been lost on most decks and the jump has caused the engine’s core to start a meltdown. What’s more the pirates are still after the ship to salvage whatever scrap they can.

The crew is largely dead or injured. 1400 personnel reduced to just below 150. Those who participate will be forced to get the Theo Grande repaired and get help before the pirates come to finish the job.

History:
raised as the son of an old cowboy in the far southwest, he's mastered all the skills for survival any soldier could hope to even hear about.

He continued to fight until he was a young adult, and then made a profession out of it. He joined the marines so that when he came back he could help retake his home, but he was stationed on a ship for security and assault purposes, and now he's not sure he's gonna get home...

[Dante]

Age: 37

Rank: Corporal

Speciality: Pyrotechinics (Stuff to do with fire)

Description: At a first glance: He stands tall and proud in his red, fire-proof suit of armour which is both lightweight and comfortable. He looks menacing with his big Flamethrower. Also he wears helmet to protect him from the heat when wepon is used. Finally he always seems to have a cigarette in mouth.
His face: all seems normal exept for the fact that his face seems to have a kind of blackish tinge, mayby from all the heat and flames. He has a black-brown type of hair colour and has brown eyes.

History: James has always had a 'love' for fire, the raw heat and power seem to be breath taking. he learnt everything about there is about fire, and was quite a solider as well (but not a good cook, because everytime he tryed to do a meal it always came out being burnt). So he joined the army and rose to the rank of corporal, where he got assigned to escort the battleship: the Theo Grande. When the ship was attacked by pirates he was alive and now...

Personality: Although he creates raging fires, James is a cool and calm character:shades: . Sometimes he cares alot yet at other times he won't give a damn. His the guy that if you make fun of he will punch you in the face (there are exeptions, for example: he really likes you).

[The Man With One Wing]

SEBASTIAN!!! hurry up, if a moderator reads this can they please get sebastians attention.

[Dante]

Sebastian Markes still needs to do his profile, he better hurry up and finish it... :hmph:

[Sebastian Markes]

Crap, forgot about this. Profile by tommorow. I promise. Then the story can start, I just assumed the thing was dead in the water.

[Dante]

Wow, you have great faith in your Rp's don't you.
:disgust:

[Sebastian Markes]

Name: Sebastian Markes

Age: 27

Rank: Lieutenant, 3rd Class (communication officer)

Speciality: Electric systems, computer system and general communications

Description: Sebastian stands at just a little less than six feet tall, his height complimented by something of a heavy build. His skin lends itself to a natural tan and as such he is usually seen with a bronzed glow, although the downside is that when he is not tanned his skin becomes fairly pale. His hair is usually cropped short, any excess growth held back in a tight ponytail. The hair itself is a luxurious hazel brown which has a few tinges of red which give it colour akin to rust. His eyes are a pale brown and coupled with long, almost feminine eye lashes, give something of a pretty boy look despite the harshness evidenced in the rest of his face.

History: Comes from a long line of military men. His father pushed him into the academy and fast tracked him through the service. He is young and fairly inexperienced, he would much rather be a scientist than a military man but is forced down the path by his family.

[Broodling]

Hehe, this RPG was something I was thinking of posting, but I'll join this - if I may - instead (until it finishes bwahahahaha)
---
Name: Sanchez

Age: 24

Rank: Marine Private

Speciality: Long range attack - especially covert - mainly sniping.

Description: Has a rather well developed tan, and although he has not too large muscles, he is no skeleton either. He has little fat, due to his exercises he takes weekly. His hair is black, and is close cut. He has brown eyes, above of which lie some very thin eyebrows. He wears a military uniform, a cap upon his head.

History: Born in Cadíz, Spain, Sanchez failed to become ordained as a priest. Instead, he decided to take a different outlook, and joined the army. His superiors soon discovered his superiority with a sniper rifle, and he has made many a headshot within the short time he has been in the Corps.

Personality: Sanchez is a cocky and enthusiastic individual. Frequently he utters comments during fighting, often when he's hit, hits something, or if the situation changes. It is this enthusiasm which prevents his promotion: as once he starts the shooting he cannot stop.

Well, thats me done: I hope I'm not too late. :)

[Broodling]

Has the RP died or something? :(

And have I been alllowed to join? :(

I'm so confused :confused:

[Sebastian Markes]

Sorry pal, forgot about your PM.

Yeah it's fine.

The problem is that I can't really post until someone else posts, if me and dante are the only posters things go a bit wrong.

[Broodling]

Quick reply :p
I'll post something to continue us getting started.
Man with One Wing, Karma Kid, Akamii and Michelle Desler: you do know theres an RP thread, right?

[Broodling]

How come Sebastian Markes is banned? :(

[Rag]

He's banned because he asked to be, apparently. I'm not sure where that leaves this RPG. Maybe someone can take over?

hope i can join and well you can count on me to start this Rpg..^_-

[Broodling]

Well, because of the roleplay starter being banned, I guess it leaves us as a sort of republic/democratic/council decisions, in that we'll have to plot where this story is going together (we'll have to consider Sebastian's character dead, unless someone wants to take him over).

As for the profile above: I think you need to put into your profile how you came onto the ship.
(though due to the extreme inactivity of those already signed up, I wouldn't keep hopes up on this rp being dead).

[Paradise of Birds]

hehe.......don't worry i can bring life to this RPG...soooooooon... and about how i came to the ship is with a man called owen he wanted to join in to have revenge too.... he loves me and i know that but i only consider him as brother.......that is how
i have a quistion though what is this ship's job???!!!

[Broodling]

A double post :(

[Broodling]

What once was a proud battleship

Battleship :p

[Paradise of Birds]

so it is a ship used for fighting...hmmmm... then against who does it fight Paladin??!! and why?

[Jeno]

yeah!! I was enthsiastic and yearning...
now how can we continue without him...?!?

[Broodling]

Don't ask me, it was Sebastian's Story, I'm just piecing things together. I figure it was a battleship only as a SAFEGUARD: i.e. there was no war, but an escort or something. However, then space pirates attacked it (maybe it was trying to protect an emperor's ship - that again is uncertain). However there is another possibility that it was just a military ship on patrol (all countries today have military weaponry, so we can presume that planets in this rp would have too).
:detective:

My opinion hasn't changed at all, in that we could still continue this story without Sebastian himself - it'll just require a lot more PMing.

[Dante]

How about this storyline, thought of by myself?

HIV mutated into something much worse. It is called 'mors morbus' or as it is more commonly known as 'Hell's disease'. The disease actually eats flesh and whilst it does, it drives the person who carries the disease mad. This madness can cause the person to seek and eat other flesh (The name given for these madened people is 'zombies'). There is no known cure...

So as it seem that the Earth was doomed lots of humans tried to escape. Only three ships made it into space, the Theo Grande, the Theo Petite and the Behemoth. The Theo Petite had a malfunction and went hurdling back down to Earth and the Behemoth, a huge cruiser, crashed into a meteorite.

On the way to the colony on mars the Theo Grande was attacked by pirates, who did not care about the situation on Earth and the problems on the Theo Grande (the uncaring Bastards), They just wanted some loot. In a effort to dodge the pirates they tried to make the jump, but since the guidance systems were damaged they arrived at a very unexpected destination, all the way to the space near Neptune. And now the Theo Grande drifts now in the vacuum of space. What once was a proud battleship now is little more than scrap it’s hull compromised, it’s crew all but slaughtered and its computers failing at a rapid rate. It’s only a matter of time now, only a matter of time.

Tis a good story, it matches the profiles...

Ashy city got attacked by an 'unknown force', This unknown force can be an army of these 'Zombies'

Amanda is a stowaway on the Theo Grande because she wasn't going to be let onto the ship. Not everyone could escape Earth :( .

All the guys/gals who are (or was) in the army are on the Ship because they are the army and get special privileges (Get the right to escape Earth).

Jake is on the Theo Grande cause he works there :) .

Ravilla was lucky and got picked to go onto the ship and escape.

My answer to questions...

'how can we continue without him...?!?'
we can and don't ever think otherwise! It will just take alot of imagination...

'what is this ship's job???!!!'
To carry the Earth escapees to the colony on Mars.

'who does it fight Paladin??!! and why?'
It wasn't supposed to fight, it was chosen to transport. Why was a battleship chosen to transport? well if your surrounded by flesh-eating zombies your not going to be picky.

Hope I covered everything!

[Paradise of Birds]

this story is good so shall we start?

PURY
i walked though the sad damaged corridors of my ship my lovely ship which i liked very much now it is nothing but a lot of scrap.
i stamble into some one and this some one turns out to be owen.

note: do you mind if i control both owen and pury ..hehe?? ^_^ pleaseee

[Dante]

Rinoa we have already started...

It's the thread with the title: Dark side of the moon: story

Plus:
Paladin you copied me!
James is going to the bridge to get orders and then next post sanchez is going to the brig to get orders...

Oh, well... at least James is much cooler and kicks sanchez's ass.

I'm watching you :hmph:

(:) oh yeah, rinoa, thanks for saying my story is good:) )

[Broodling]

For a first its 'Bridge' and not 'Brig' - the Bridge is where the command is, the Brig where they lock up prisoners etc.

Secondly, I'm waiting for someone to advance the story so that we can move from 'becoming concious'
:D
