Space Marines OOC

[VeXeR]

Okay, i thought of this concept about a group of elite space marines being sent on a mission, rutine clean up. But something is wrong, the team that was sent ahead of them is nowhere to be found.

I wanted this to be like the Alien movies, same marines same aliens. Only difference is that we are abit more skilled than those marines in to movies.

A crew of 6 would be great i think, so i'm looking for two guys and three girls.

 

[Orrin]

Sounds like fun

 

[VeXeR]

Well, just to keep track of things this is who we need:

Mike (VeXeR)
Glen (Tvayumat)
Daniel (Screech)
David (Orrin)
Michelle (Hush Silenstar)
Lucy (Sky Jade)
Maria
Petra (AngelofDeath)

When/if more people joins in i'll post some more info about them, unless people have their own requests.

Btw i plan for this to be a serious RP, not just humping around all the time You are of course welcome to fool around from time to time, just keep it real

 

[Screech]

Sounds like it could be quite interesting. I did like the Marines in Aliens. Bunch of nutcases with guns. Well, some of them were...

Put me down for Daniel. I always enjoy playing one of the grunts!

 

[Koneko]

Are we talking "For the emporer" class space marines here? Codexes etc? Because if we are put me down for Glen ^_^

 

[Tvayumat]

That would be Warhammer 40k, not Aliens. We're talking pulse rifles and smartgun class marines here. Game over, man, game over!

 

[Lotharian]

'Come Brother Inquisitor, let us fight this day for the Emperor and quell these forces of chaos in this land.' (WarGaming. Ah, I love it!)

Or we could always have the gauss rifles... 'This isn't WarCraft in Space! It's more sophisticated! Come on marines, move move move!'

I'm sorry, I was too tempted and had to put in my $0.02.

 

[Demos Straxus]

Any chance of Predators? If so, i'd take one.

 

[Koneko]

Ah you see when you said Space Marines I assumed you meant the Space Marines from 40k. Nah, I'll back out then thanks

 

[Hush Silenstar]

Michelle, reporting for duty, if she's still available.

Because big guns are hot. (Though if we can pick character traits, can I be the medic? You know we'll need one.)

 

[Orrin]

Sign me up For Glen if he's still open. 'course...now I gotta go rent Aliens...but meh...been looking for a reason to anyways

 

[Sky Jade]

Hey, this sounds interesting. Sign me up for Lucy, if possible.

 

[VeXeR]

i added two more chars, 1 male 1 female. Orrin was left out otherwise since that other guy, whos name i have trouble spelling, beat him.

Well we need two more girls and we are off.

:: EDIT ::
About that predator, i don't mind, but i'd like to hear what the others think before i give the green light.

Glen "Shade" Jackson
Male
Age 24
Corporal, United States Colonial Marine Corps

Generally non-descript, the units "funny guy" and tech specialist. Short dark brown hair and blue eyes, Marines physique. Carries a standard issue pulse rifle and his own Colt 1911. Nicknamed Shade for his rather remarkable ability to bypass locks and security systems without breaking a sweat.


Not so sure about a predator. Predators have a VERY different feel to them than Aliens, changes the entire RP.

 

[VeXeR]

Mike "Hawk Eye" Vengal
Male
Age 25
Sergant, USMC

Mike works as the marksman/sniper on the team and carries the powerful sniper rifle of the USMC or when in close combat he usually packs the standard pulse rifle. He has short brown hair and brown eyes, his is one of the tallest of the members of Delta 34 (our group) and is far from a weakling. Years of marine traning has made his muscles strong and his mind focused and quick. Even though only a sergant he is respected for his tatical sollutions, but he is no leader. He follows orders faithfully and is happy doing that.

 

[Orrin]

David "Boom Boom" Lawson
Age: 27
Male
Demolitions and Heavy Ordinance Specialist

Not as tall as the other guys in Delta 34, at 5'6" and weighing in at 240lbs, He gives off the unmistakable impression of Solid mass.

Despite being the Oldest active Demolitions Expert in the Unit, and being Highly Decorated, he's never been able to break the sergeant's Pay grade and generally loses it quickly, Currently he's been busted back to Corporal once more, Being Cited for having a "Deep seated disregard for Authority,"

It's not True, He has High Regard for Authority in most matters, but has strong issues with his comrades being used negligently.

While he can use a Pulse rifle Proficiently, he Prefers an Auto Cannon Modified to enable him to Carry it. in the Force, this particular Weapon has become known as "Clarice." as A veteran of Various Conflicts, "Boom boom" has a Very dark Sense of Humor and a near Fatalistic outlook on Missions though the same experience has made him the unofficial Sea Daddy and source of info for new Marines in Delta 34.

 

[Screech]

Daniel "Grunt" Glover
Male
24
Private, USMC

Standard marine physique. cropped brown hair and ery eyes. Carries the standard issure pulse rifle, and two old colt 45's that he baught from an antique store and modified so that they worked with modern solid shot. Has a knack for scrounging up things that could be considered 'useful'

 

[Tvayumat]

Tee hee hee, Danny Glover.

 

[Screech]

Hey, gotta use names. Best I could think of in my groggy state...

 

[Tvayumat]

Pulse rifles make me smile.

 

[AngelofDeath]

ooc: i'll take Petra if now one minds

Nameetra 'Banshee' Romanov
Age:24
Sex:Female
Rankrivate
Postion: Modified Marine

Petra was one of the few modified soilder. Even though the saucy Russia had a soft voice when she screamed she could disable ppl and well as detroy equipment and vehicels. Her vocal chords hard been enhanced when she volunteered for the Corp.

Many of the normal soilders treat her differently.

She and Boom Boom workled close together though for the most part she couldn't stand him. She has sort blood red hair and green eyes. Starting and wroking down in a detail tribal tattoo.

 

[Orrin]

((It's been awhile...what do Marines Carry for Heavy Weaponry?))

 

[Tvayumat]

Auto-tracking smartguns, those big harness-mounted ass-kickers that blow aliens apart. I'm sure you can watch Aliens and pick up a few other "Sonic electronic ballbreakers" as Hudson put it.

"We've got nukes, we've got knives, sharp sticks!"

Edit to reflect marines are United States Colonial Marines
