Protectorate RP Supernova

[Raging-Fury]

Protectorate RP – Supernova

It has happened, the point that no one in the human sector thought would come, it has been one month since Bortalis and the human forces were reunited. The combined forces of humanity are now positioned inside the Safe Haven Nebula. A traitor divulged the location of the Gaia Protectorate fallback point and the Sarions showed up en masse trailing behind the tattered remnants of Septim Rammka’s third Battle group and the Tachyon Coalition. Humanity is now poised to make their final stand; Saicoby himself will be leading the charge. Humanity is grasping for its one clear shot at him while they can.

Statistics:
Sarion Fleet Strength:
The Venom
600 Mar’Cett Cruisers
600 His’Romm Class Battle Platforms
1200 Bri’Vass Class Frigates

Basic Rules:
Those of you who are here should know the basics by now, god modding is not allowed and all that shit, but for this RP I am integrating something new, I would like all players to strive to manipulate up to three characters, you are allowed up to six for the purposes of this RP, no more than two characters per post so try to keep them a decent length to not make it impossible to follow and also for those who have a Gaian character already, I would like you to make your additional characters Tachyons and/or Sarions as well. This is a combat assessment RP, The Venom will not be an easy prize so if you manage to penetrate a team, it will be at a huge cost to both life and materiel. Everyone is positioned around the Safe Haven station so no need to RP yourself getting there, My opener will be slightly before but it will move right into it, you will not have any need to wonder when it happens.

The Venom- Six kilometers long with nearly impenetrable armor, her engines are powerful enough to keep her classification one tier below a battle cruiser. She boasts 1000 close in defense turrets for shooting down missiles and troop pods, 150 stinger missile launchers, 200 heavy turbo cannons, for ship to ship combat, and 100 light turbo cannons for anti-fighter work. She also boasts two magnetic acceleration cannons that hurl Nyet’Oga fighter craft into the enemy positions before a fighter screen can be put up to stop them. Between the two cannons, they can launch twelve fighters a minute, completely emptying the 25 squadrons in under half an hour.

[Ragnarox]

As I said, count me in.
Character 1:
Name: Luxor Hellion
Age: 28 Now I guess
Protectorate Affiliation: Gaia
Rank: General
Appearance: Semi-Bronze colored skin tone. Muscular, as he trained with Task Force Talon. Stands 6'5" and weighs in at 250 pounds. Wears a black, space forces uniform with the fleet insignia on his left torso while on duty. Off duty he wears either his Task Force Talon uniform and red beret, or he wears a black jump suit while on the surface of a planet.
Equipment: A MKII class Laser Pistol and a Tori Industries class MkII Laser Machine Pistol (SMG). Luxor's colleages often accuse him of being paranoid.
Ship: Modified Avenger Class Battle Cruiser Storm Front. Following in the footsteps of the Iron Gale, the Storm Front has six over-tourqed fusion focus engines that can propel it up to rates of 30,000 KPS in just over 45 seconds. The ship's manuverability although relatively sluggish as with all capital ships, has been improved and is more mobile than other ships in in its class. Due to the drain on power from the engines, the Storm Front has only 38 Heavy Turbo Cannons but still sports the typical 60 torpedo/missile tubes. However, 10 of these 60 tubes have been modified to lauch assault pods carrying TFT troops including full squads of Rampage Teams. Two of these tubes are located in the bow of the ship, 6 lined laterally along the sides of the ship and two in the stern just above the engines. Of the 50 tubes that remain, only five are located in the bow. Five more are also stern above and below the engines. 30 tubes line the sides of the ship laterally, 15 on either side. Five are VLS and the remaining five are ventral launch. As with all Avenger class cruisers, the Storm Front has a Gravity Well Generator which can be used to crush enemy vessels. Most Avenger cruisers are stressed for power to energize all of their ship systems and often power must be allocated away from one system to feed another (i.e shields to cannons or Gravity Well Generator). However, due the strain on the reactors onboard the Storm Front are so extreme that several black-outs have occured at times while the ship was at full combat status. Because of this, the Storm Front has a re-calibrated system that cuts power from shields by 10% to power other systems, making her more vulnerable than her sister ships. Although the electro-plating of all Avenger ships has been proven to be their most potent defense of all.
Bio: Luxor was in an Institute when he joined the space forces. He didn't have enough credits to continue schooling at the Institute, and the space forces cover ALL institutional costs for the remainder of education. This tempted Luxor and he joined the space forces on a five year tour of duty. During that tour of duty, he trained with Task Force Talon and quickly became a gunship pilot within his first year.

Luxor was infamous for almost getting himself, and his crew, killed when Luxor's crew raced another gunship between two ecllipsing stars. Luxor won, but barely and he often got chewed out for his actions not long after. Luxor eventually began pulling so many stunts that his ship was nicknamed Deaths Door because they cut it so close. The name stuck...but not for long, Luxor was promoted to Captain near the end of his second year and given command of the newly designed, specalized vessel Iron Gale.

His personality changed slightly with his new rank. He became more serious about his work, and more weary of the lives around him. However, he still never passes up the opporitunity to be the first one through an uncharted Pulsar. He still gets chewed out occasionally, but because of his unique and inate abilities, his superiors haven't given him the boot.

After the second Sarion invasion, Luxor has changed, but not much. He now has an even greater burning hatred for the Sarions and is quite fanatic about it during battle. However, this still hasn't changed the fact that he is almost always happy, and never backs down from a challenge.

Character 2:
Name: Nicholas Malfius
Age: 23
Rank: Master Sergeant
Protectorate Affiliation: Gaia
Appearance: East-Ural caucasian. Short brown hair and brown eyes. Muscular and heavy chassis. Stands 6' 2" and weighs in at 255 pounds. Wears TFT uniform off duty and Red Beret, usually in powered armor while on duty.
Equipment: Kallon Industries Mk XI Heavy Assault All Environment Tactical Combat Suit. Customizable to what he wishes. He carries no other weapons with the execption of his pocket knife.
Ship: N/A- The ship he and his team are on switch from mission to mission, although his team is predominately onboard the Storm Front.
Bio: His civilian life is much like that of Luxor's, the only difference of which was that it was not economic pressure that forced him to join the space forces. His love of military history and love of the military iteself pushed him to that certain point of curiosity where he had to join the military itself in order to get the full experience of it.
He started out as a marine in the ground forces, he was then conscripted into TFT for operations in space and futher selected for the Rampage Unit around the time of the Archangels first expedition.
Over the course of two months, and two other unfortuate Master Sergeants, Nicholas was promoted to Master Sergeant and established as leader of the team.

[iHawk]

Roar, rawr and some-such. I am putting some time aside from schoolwork for RPing again, so why not get back into it with an RP series that I'm familiar with.

Name: Cathan (Kah-thahn) Reaves (Reaper)
Age: Irrelevant
Rank: Reaper
Protectorate Affiliation: Hellborne Protectorate

Appearance: Nothing of his body is seen from under the full armour suit he wears and there's a voice scrambler in the helmet making him sound a little more then creepy. (Think like the ringwraiths mixed with a really deep voice [James Earl Jones?]) The armour itself isn't necisarily bulky and from how he moves one would guess it's not hampering (picture the modern Ironman armour but all black and without facial features to speak of). A rifle and large sword occupy his back (The Sword in a sheath that goes across diagonally while the rifle hangs on it's own strap that goes diagonal in the other direction). The suit is powered by energy packs throughout the suit which can be recharged through nodes in the fingertips. (suit power is used mainly for enviromental systems)

Equipment: A semi-auto plasma rifle of Hellborne styling, his large claymore-resembling sword was lost on a Sarion ship so he replaced it with a lighter, double-bladed sword (almost like a very long Katana in shape, but the blade more resembles that of a long-sword) and a few tools for infultration. He also has a small energy knife that's meant for cutting metals or as a last resort in melee combat.

Ship: Since the Hellborne Protectorate has officially entered the fray Reaper has done away with his Novacom Fighter. Instead he now flies his personal Fighter, the Thanatos. Like all Hellborne vessles the Thanatos is a very smooth, almost elegant ship, with very few actual edges. It's equiped with a cloaking device, a mine-layer (6 antimatter smart-mines) and 8 omni-directional cutting lasers.

Bio: As a person Cathan is very protective of his past (which is not entirely unique among his Protectorate), he speaks nothing of his life before being chosen as Hellborne's "Reaper", and even then shares little. Once he was chosen as the Reaper, he was placed in a hospital for several months where he was genetically altered and had mechanical implants and augmentations placed within his body. For the next eight years he had to return regularly for medical treatment so that his body would continue to accept both the Genetic, and Mechanical augmentations.

By the time he started aiding the Gaia Protectorate these treatments were all but complete, and he was able to spend more time actually fighting the Sarions. He only tells his allies what he thinks is necisary, but rumor has it that there is someone who he allows to know everything, someone he actually cares about. Of course, it was also rumoured that he was a rogue robot at one point.

Yes, this is Reaper, I figure since this is the last RP that I might as well put things out in the open. Let me know if any part of the Hellborne Protectorate seems out of place or unrealistic.

Hellborne Protectorate

General Tech: Most of the Hellborne protectorate's technology is stolen from the other protectorates and intigrated into their own, if a usefull technology can be improved with other aquired technology they'll improve, but mostly they keep things as they are.

Culture: The people of Hellborne are all very protective of their own and incredibly loyal to those they deem worthy of their trust. They have their own code of honour that sees personal combat, and duels as the best way to settle a dispute and there is no wrong way to achieve the upper hand.

"There is no Honour lost in gaining the upper hand, only in losing it"
-Julius Mahkr (1st Reaper of Hellborne)

In both their construction and their art they try to create as few edges as possible, and find gentle curves to be most asthetically pleasing. They also try to make weapons and vessles appear fragile, and ill-suited for battle, by using deployable weapons and hidden beam-emitters so that they always have the element of surprise in a fight.

Military:
Ground forces are very important in the Hellborne military, all of their ground troops wear life-sustaining battle suits (like that of Reapers), and weild either Plasma-based weapons, or personal beam weapons in battle. The Fighters are designed with powerful cutting lasers to bore into enemy hulls and drop off troops, and while they stole and studied the Gaian Drop Pods, they lacked the resources to build enough ships that would be large enough to carry such systems.

Ship Classes:
"Martyr" Class Fighter: A three-man ship that's about 8 meters long (roughly 26 feet long), and built for speed over firepower. It's job is to get in close to important enemy vessles and drop off it's two extra soldiers (as only one person is required to pilot), to do this it's equiped with six omni-directional cutting lasers and three directional reflector-shield emitters to add extra protection while inserting and extracting troops.


"Incarnate" Class Satelite: The main offensive force of the Hellborne Protecorate consists of a few hundered of Defense Satelites with both conventional and FTL movement capabilities. They're about 250 meters in length and equiped with 20 directional reflector-shield emmiters, 20 omni-directional cutting lasers (anti-fighter purposes), and 80 forward fireing, interlinked heavy-beam emmiters (more or less a giant laser-array, takes a while to charge but by focusing all emmiters to one point it acts like a super-sized cutting laser).

The Relentless: The Flagship, and only large "ship" in the Hellborne fleet, The Relentless as it's name suggests it a ship built to outlast most enemies. Besides ultra-thick armour and normal shielding, this 2 kilometer warship has over 100 directional reflector-shield emmiters, two stolen Nova HIPCs, 30 Railguns and over 150 omni-directional cutting lasers. While no match for some other Flagships in fire-power, it's defensive capabilities are unsurpassed. It also (being the only FTL-capable "ship" in the fleet) has 2 deployable "gateways" (it launches construction ships that carry out and put together the sections of the two 50 meter "gateways" through which the "Martyr" class fighters arrive.

The Relentless stays in the back of the fight protecting the gateways while "Martyr" class fighters fly through the corrosponding Gateways at the Hellborne homeworld, without these gates the Hellborne fleet would consist of a single ship and defense satelites. Once the gateways are finished sending fighter-craft they shut down and The Relentless moves into the actual fight.


Please let me know if any of this seems too good, out of place or anything RF. I'll get rid of anything that needs to be nerfed and I'll probably be posting my Nova Protectorate character later. If all this is cleared then I'm inviting other RPers to join the Hellborne Protectorate. While the soldiers wear the same armour as Reaper, they don't have the mechanical or genetic enhancements, as they've found that many people can't survive the process, which is why there's only one Reaper at a time.

Also, whenever I'm talking about the Hellborne Fleet, I'm talking about the only fleet, which for this fight will be all their available ships/satelites. They're a Protectorate that because they've strived to remain unknown they've never left their system and are now fairly strapped for resources, if Humanity wins they'll probably reach out into space for more systems.

[100thlurker]

Name: Andromiduis Charleston
Age: 30
Rank: Commander
Protectorate Affiliation: Gaia Protectorate
Appearance: Andromiduis isn't exactly the tallest ship commander at 5'4. Despite this, he is fairly experienced, and was thus marked forever by a scar starting down from his eyebrow to his cheek. This was gained when he hadn't yet reached captain, and was instead the gunnery officer. The ship he was serving on was in a duel with a Mar'Cett Cruiser. A shard of glass went flying from an overloaded computer and left him with that scar. His hair is messy, and he only bothers to wash it. Often wears flowing robes when he can, with a belt holding a laspistol and a long ceremonial sword.
Equipment: A laspistol of standard issue, with a flashlight attached. Carries 10 clips with it due to common Sarion boarding operations. He also carries a ceremonial longsword passed down from is parents.
Ship: White Lance II. It is very different modification of the Avenger battlecruiser design. This time it is a hybrid between a very light carrier and a battlecuriser. The bridge is now buried deep within the hull, and cameras where placed all over the ship, giving it a 360 degree view and less vulnerability. It carries a single, enlarged fighter bay. Its armarment consists of 45 torpedo tubes that can fire any sort of warhead. Anti-matter, concussion, HE explosive, Nuclear, emp, etc you name it, the ship fires it. It is covered by multiple overlapping CIWS and turret based Aegis point defence systems. Also uses 15 turbolasers and 15 heavy railguns that can use flack and tungsten rounds spread evenly about the hull. Has extensive electronic countermeasure systems. Unfortunatley, it has a relatively flimsy hull, and the shields fail from time to time.
Bio: As a young boy, he always wanted to go into the medical proffesion. It was his dream, untill he took a tour through a battleship that was converted into a musuem sometime in its lifespan. Following that dream he did everything he could, getting the right courses, studying hard, etcetera. When he finished colledge, he instantly enrolled in the Gaian Navy, much to the dissapointment of his parents. He doesn't really talk to them anymore after that. He started out as the gunnery officer of a picket ship, eventually commanded it, and then was constantly moved around. Becuase of this, he has a large repoitare of knowledge in battlefield tactics. Finnaly, he was plunked down on the experimental design of a light repair cruiser ,the White Lance, which was later decommisioned. This happened mainly becuase the ship just didn't work out. A carrier could easily handle its job, and the ship's bridge was very easy to hit. His crew was transferred to a new ship, using some parts from the old one. He now also commands the fighter and bomber contingets that are launched and retreived from his ship.

Numero Uno, is up and ready.

Name: Hadrian Ardvark
Age: 26
Rank: Sergeant
Protectorate Affiliation: Gaian Protectorate
Appearance: Looks a wee bit shifty eyed at times. The poor man has bags under his eyes, and has a hard demeanor. He reached 5'9, which is a little bit tall for a fighter pilot. Despite all these he is incredibly fast and strategically minded, a needed trait in a fighter pilot. Often seen carrying a bottle. Or a snuff box. Depends on what time it is. The man snaps and yells too much to be a very cheerfull person.
Equipment: A laspistol with two clips, several of this and that for survival, but really, he's not supposed to survive if his craft lights up.
Ship: Gaian Peregrine fighter, I mean really what else is there that can do the job of a fighter craft?
Bio: Hadrian was born, and found he had no parents, nobody that loved or cared for him. He did have parents, but they barely paid attention to him. Maybe a word or two, and definitely a scolding, but no love or encouragement. His environment was incredibly hostile, in such a bad area of the city slums. He learned how to go off on his own and he did. Eventually Hadrian left home and never returned at 13 years old, already experiencing his fair share of pain and dissapointment. The man honed his reflexes, and was feared by the people who even saw a glimpse of him in a fight. With nothing left to lose, he was just plain deadly. However a new opportunity arose. The navy fighter branch. Instructors considered him a natural in the sky-and space. Shipped from one ship to the next, he sees pilots come and go like flies. Naturraly, for a man who's life revolved on knowing these men it had a depressing effect. Oftentimes he'll turn to something that "Frees" him. Now solemnly and gloomily oversees the fighter contingent on the White Lance II
Position: CAG

Both approved. And you guys don't dare say a word about me having a meth-head/drunk and a dwarf.

Sarion fighter pilot needs approval.

[Raging-Fury]

to iHawk, I like the Hellborne Protectorate, you balanced a strong ground force with a small space fleet, and they sound much like the Spartans during the greek period. (Not Halo spartans) and as for 100thlurker the characters are still approved so don't worry about that. Working on the opening post now but waiting for one or two more before i really kick off.
