I didn't see anything like this so I have been wondering if maybe anybody would be interested in joining me to start one.

I think we can start after the new "Planet Buster" bomb has been unveiled and also the armored battlesuits. You can pick any existing character or even create your own, if you are not familiar with Starship Troopers, but want to join in then just jump on in, we can sort out the kinks as we go.

Starship Troopers was the first action, sci-fi movie I watched with inter gender showers and who did include sex (or at least we saw the romping action under a sleeping bag, but you get the idea), so ladies you are welcome to join in as well.

Just drop a reply if you are interested.
 
My first reply. Nice. Well if you want you can just give us the basics about your character and we can check if anybody else wants to join in.

Basics would be

Name (with nickname if there is any)
Height
Weight
Eye color
Hair color and style
Body build
Speciality
Short Bio/Long Bio
 
Interested....what exactly will we be doing? I mean after all the film and the book are very different, but I like both.
 
Name James (hardbastard) richo
Height 6 foot 2
Weight solid but manly
Eye color blue
Hair color and style brown and short crewcut
Body build medium
Speciality long range gunnery
Short Bio/Long Bio a tough bastard who loves to womanise
 
Was looking to see how many interest I can find. The idea was as follows:

A distress signal was picked up from the planet Z-75, one of the farming colonies where the 28th Mobile Infantry is/was stationed. HQ dispatched Mobile Infantry units 7 and 15, upon descend the drop ships' hull integrity was breached (Spoiler: Sabotage, curtsy of Behemecoatyl who have covertly converted other psychics even if they didn't know they were psychic), only a few soldiers survived as they was fast enough to get into containment suits. Upon landing the survivors had to repel an attack by Warrior bugs. They can't get hold of the 28th Infantry and decide to hoof it to the base and see what they can find out what happened to the 28th. Upon arrival they are welcomed into the base and it is revealed that the 28th was under attack and lost their communication gear, after debriefing it is decided to head back towards the drop ships to salvage the radios and call in for backup.

The story starts as the group of soldiers are leaving the base.
 
Anyone else ever see Roughnecks: The Starship Troopers Chronicles? Kind of a blend of the movie and the book. Bugs straight from the movie, powered suits that aren't as powerful as the book ones but still pretty good, deployment that manages to combine drop-ships AND drop capsules.

Mongoose Publishing even did a pen-n-paper RPG based on it a few years ago.
 
Actually this RP will be based on what happened after Starship Troopers 3: Marauder :)
 
Aha. Saw that a while ago! Are the players Marauder drivers or just the regular "light" MI?
 
i might be interested in this story. depending on how active it is/becomes. I have the movies, as well as the Starship troopers chronicles (animated).
 
The plan originally was for the characters to be anything they want to be, but with the storyline it finally dawned on me that the Marauders will not be there. I'm currently working on an alternative. Like that there is Marauders on one of the ships and when they get the call from the on-planet group the players that wants to play Marauders can be deployed.

So far we seem to have 4 people interested. If we can iron out the little kinks first I'll start the IC post
 
Groovy! I'll sharpen up a character profile.

Here's a thought for a Character Question: Why Did You Volunteer? Service Guarantees Citizenship: Are you after The Vote, Federal office, or some other benefit of being a Citizen? (Babies? Paid education?)

Or did you just join up because of a girl? (You sad loser...)

Hi are you still looking for members? If so here is my profile.

Name Kerrigan 'Stitch' Syphers
Age: 23
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 120lbs
Appearance: Think Kelly Clarkson.
Eye color: Brown
Hair color and style: Naturally brunette the outer layer is dyed red with purple streaks, it rests just above shoulder length and she often ties it back in a bun or ponytail.
Body build: A little thicker but still in great shape.
Speciality: Field Medic (Surgeon)
Short Bio/Long Bio: As a youth she was a survivor of the attack by the bugs on Earth. Her father was killed instantly and though dying her mother had tried to save others providing emergency first aid to any she could find before succumbing to her injuries. Being the last image of her mother the young Kerrigan had, she had only one choice and that was to continue helping others. She enlisted as a medical student and by the time she was seventeen had become a highly skilled if still green surgeon. She was assigned as a field medic to give her experience and for five years she got lots of practice.

Not much of a shooter she has learned to deal with the stresses of battle and has earned a measure of respect for her effectiveness mending soldiers even in the middle of battle. Her determination to 'fix' the wounded has led to her near demise several times if not for other soldiers killing the threat she sometimes seems oblivious to. She received her nickname Stitch for sewing a soldiers top and bottom half back together during a heated conflict when his abdomen was sliced wide open. The soldier miraculously survived but later while in hospital slipped into a coma and died.

Body build: Heavy muscled
Speciality: Heavy Machinegunner
Short Bio/Long Bio: Being a violent child, Daniel's parents decided for him to join the service, not only to receive citizenship, but to do what he loved to do. Damage. Daniel have received many field promotions, but made sure to do anything in his power to get demoted each and every time.

Daniel did undergo training to become a Marauder pilot, but he requested to stay on a foot soldier, which given the fact that the Marauder program was still in testing phase, was granted as there was a worry that Daniel might find a way to break his assigned Marauder. While on duty with MI 7, Daniel's Marauder is on board...just in case he needs it

I know we're not treating it as a source, but for those of you who haven't seen Roughnecks, have a look at this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6ofTc0YOOQ

It's a promotional video put together just before Mongoose published the Starship Troopers Miniatures Game, and features the series' version of a capsule drop.
 
Roughnecks...isn't that the animated series?

*looks at video*

Yup seems that way
 
Name: Castel "Specter" Hawk
Height 6'6"
Weight - 180.
Eye color - Blue.
Hair color and style - Slightly over eyes. Sandy blonde.
Body build - Mid Muscular. Streamline over bulk.
Speciality - Special Operations/Recon
Short Bio/Long Bio - Most is classified. Be assured that he knows what he is doing and not even a bug tackling him can keep him down.

Figured I might as well join up. First movie was the only one I liked, though.
