Zoidy
A roleplay by Zoidy and Ellibereth.

System Relays, a brilliant prothean human invention.
They are large machines built in outer space that accede travel
between systems. Originally built to aid in FTL (Faster than light)
speed by creating a clear target to travel, engineers and scientists
found they could do more. Many changes in the engines and the main computer
allowed for a convenient and overall faster and more fitting travel system.
The System Relays discharge a large blue beam that latches onto the space vessel and
lances it forward with heavy velocity. Within seconds the vessel is entering in an automatic
FTL speed. Once in the desired system, the system relay there will grab hold of the ship and slow it down.

As a member of the NSA, (National Space Association) you took part
in a dozen high ranking voyages to space. You and your crew amassed
vast amounts of data and discoveries about different planets and possible
alien species and habitats. You have been given many awards and medals for
your brave and selfless acts to help the planet Earth strive. However, as your last
voyage ends and you arrive back on Earth, you are notified the NSA has been struggling.
Many different rumors amounted that the NSA were being secretive about their discoveries.
While part of it was true, most of it was absurd and false, such as having aliens in captivity.
You yourself take a lot of blame, as you refuse to talk to the Press or anyone else. All voyages
to space are halted. You have no other choice but to leave the NSA... Several years later, you find
yourself in a small and mysterious company called Diacom. They hired professional astronauts like yourself
to go on their self-funded space voyages. You don't know how they fund themselves, but the pay is good and
you have no other work.

--MISSION STATUS--
Objective: Travel to the Neras system and discover anything that will profit Diacom.
Info: Neras is a strange and uninhabited system. Nothing is known of it. That is your job to unearth anything in the system.
Conflicts: No communication relays. No system relays located in Neras.

Force Colonel Alek Vandyke is an impressive man, who stands six and a half feet tall. His russet hair is cropped, and his brow is always narrowed into a frown. His general appearance is frightening, despite his almost handsome traits. On duty, he is garbed in his eighteen-piece plastoid battle armor, all white except a blue stripe on his shoulder-pad.

He doesn't wear a helmet, preferring his blue-tinted sunglasses, which hide one vivid green eye, and another patched-over socket; an injury from his time as a Russian shock-trooper. A black prototype Laser Assault Rifle his attached to his back at all times, and a handgun holstered to his waist. He is the Military Captain of the ship.
Zoidy
I like his intimidating personality. Accepted.

Staff Sergeant Richard "Dick" Speares is a man. Not only is he a man but he is a manly man. He is incredibly manly and likes to do manly things like shoot guns and throw babies out windows. He is just over six feet tall, muscular and has nice short black hair which befits his stance as a military man. His face is rugged and tough with a solid jaw, a pronounced forehead and a nose which would win a manly man contest even if he wasn't competing. Richard Speares is in every way the sort of man you would want to have on your side blowing things up and generally causing mayhem wherever he may go.

Staff Sergeant Speares is known for his love of things that go boom. As such he has many of these things that go boom and he employ them on a regular basis. Not only does he have grenades that go boom but he has big bombs that go boom, sticks that make things go boom and he himself generally makes things go boom. He dresses in a rugged black suit, his head protected by a special helmet with advanced protection against explosions in case his devices that go boom go boom when he doesn't want them to. He has red stripes on his shoulder and a patch signifying him as a man who knows how to make things go boom on his shoulder.

Position: Master super chief man Grunt of the Ship!

Aliath made a mistake making a military man. My manliness will overcome him.

If you want a more serious application I can make one but I think I covered the general idea of the characters as an egotistical, buff man who generally likes to make explosions.

The Man From Outer Space
Corporal Reece Ariau is an ex-soldier dishonorably disharged for reasoned he keeps secret. Not knowing any other form of work other than that of the military, he joined Diacom after they advertised for military escorts. He is taller than average, but not giant and stands at 6'3". He knows advanced battle tactics, as his father was a General and widely known for his resourcefulness. Reece seems to have inherited this trait, and can find a weapon in a desert. He wears basic camo-patterned clothes that consist of short sleeved shirt, long legged trousers and boots. He is clean and likes routines. He is somewhat the perfect grunt. Always following orders, never making them, and would die doing so.

He is a man who knows all weapons and their functionalities very well, so that he is aware what to use when. Specializing in stealth and scouting, he is near invisible when he wants to be. He is a man who is not seen or heard unless he wants to be. One of his greatest fears is Apeirophobia, and fears the infinite. Space never appeased him, and neither did he want to explore it. His greatest asset is his presicion and flexibility. This is all taken from him when in space.
