I don't want to go to the effort of writing allt hese if no one's going to do anything, is all.

Ok well, what needs to be done to get this started?

TormakSaber · Post by **TormakSaber** » Thu Feb 07, 2008 9:45 am

A name and a callsign.

If you just want me to start, I'll just pick a name, and start writing. If you let me pick the name, it will be Heinrich "Lazarus" Epstein, since that's my favorite of the names presented so far.

Anything else relating to "character creation" will be handled ICly via the choice system.

Oh, and also with name/callsign, I need to know if you'd prefer:

1: Starting slightly before the Official Campaign, and following it before branchng off into original stuff

or

2: starting with original stuff based slightly after the Official Campaign, right from the beginning.

For a name I vote for Arriana "Arrow" Dazt

and option #1

I vote for option #1 (disclosure: I suggested something to this effect - my vote is already in, but it would would tie so many things together)

For the character name I suggest something light and friendly like:
Roland "Rat Bastard" Benavides.

Name: Sonny "The Pheonix" Mavrick
Gender: Female
Perhaps an alternative Callsign can be "The Red" or "BlackFox". Or anything that someone thinks is better.

Name: Daniel "SkyKnight" Thatch
Gender: Male
Once again, perhaps a better Callsign is in order, if someone can think of one.

Also Tormak can you explain the options better?

TormakSaber · Post by **TormakSaber** » Sat Feb 09, 2008 2:11 am

Sure.

Option One: You would, by default, start off as a member of TFHQ. You would follow the main stoyline, but doing things that the player doesn't. I.E. You would go with Chrerenkov on his first time meeting Nagaya. You'd go with Hong when he needs to secure the Conversion Bomb. There'd be times when you'd intersect with the player, like in Mission 8, but otherwise you'd be off "doing your own thing". At the end of the campaign, I'd start weaving my own story, and you guys get a bit more freedom as to what you want to do. Option One presumes that you're staying with Fleet HQ for the duration of the game campaign. After that, you're pretty much free to do whatever.

Option Two: This skips the campaign start and goes right into original content. It'd be set about a month or so after the campaign (or mission 8, anyways.) and you'd have the freedom to start between a few different factions, and wouldn't be "tied down" by the need to adhere to the campaign at the beginning.

Option One will eventually become Option Two in a manner of speaking, but there's slight differences. Like, I'm guessing that an Option One chaarcter would stay with TFHQ for the entire duration. Whereas an Option Two might opt to be a merc and do missions for various factions, or become a pirate, or whatever.

Hmm...
Ok then, I choose Option #2. I like the freedoms it offers.

Option 2, as TBE said, it offers more freedom.

I FUCKING READ THAT ENTIRE THREAD. AND DID NOT STOP LAUGHING FOR A SINGLE SECOND. We're talking about tear streaming laughter here, too.

option 1. better to get used to the style and things

TormakSaber · Post by **TormakSaber** » Wed Feb 13, 2008 7:14 am

Well, in the absence of 1: an agreement on name, and 2: an agreement on options, I guess I'll have to pick. >.<

As for option 1 or two... well, I'll decide after dinner.

EDIT: Uh... well. Damn. Let me think it over dinner. Maybe I will use a different name.
