z028 Riley Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 Hmn, perhaps 'Requisistions' should be added as a bacgkround. It's from WoD Technocrats, but it's used to represent what your organizaiton is willing to give you in the way of equipment. Or the Equipment background, too, I guess. As for Resources, it's what it is in all the games: a measure of your character's personal wealth. As for use, if you have no resources then you probably live on base and have little financial pull in any situation that is not covered by the SGC. If you have a significant amount of resources, then you have cash available seperate from requisitions of the SGC and probably some significant financial pull in the outside world (say if you own or have large stock holdings in major corporations or are independently wealthy).

Mr Fox Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 We have a character Profiles section for the boards. Please wait till we actually start the game before posting your background since I'm still tweaking things in the intro to make it all work together.

I think I've got the remaining characters straightened out.I will be working on the intro stories now. I'll start posting them tonight or tomorrow. You'll each be getting an individual intro that will go into how you personally came to be in the [sarcasm] gentle [/sarcasm] care of the NID.

Mr Fox Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Actually, Mala, it's just you and me. Jameson offered to help, but only on a temporary basis, unless he changes his mind.Either way, Rev, you are welcome to make a character if you like. I am wanting to keep the tone serious though, so the pimp character we were joking about the other night would not be an option. You are a damn good RPer though, so if you have an idea let me know and we can discuss it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Fox Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Keep in mind that you guys don't have 'nova names'. You are part of the military, you mostly go by Major Caine, or Sgt Declan, or Dr. Soie. In time nova names might develop, but for now please just use regular names.

Mr Fox Posted January 16, 2009 Author Share Posted January 16, 2009 Callsigns = No.They don't use them in the shows or movies. They refer to each other by their rank and name generally. Cpt. Carter, Gen. O'neil, Dr. Jackson, or just by last name amongst themselves. Jackson, Carter, Jack.In BSG they go by callsigns and in some branches of the real world military they do also, but it does deviate from the Stargate canon. Having said that, I don't have any problem with you guys bringing that into the game via role-play interaction. But you shouldn't start out using callsigns because that would indicate an existing culture of familiarity between people that don't really know each other yet. It is perfectly justified that you Novas would develop such a culture to indicate your differences from the standard rank and file of the SGC personnel, but that needs to be done via IC rp.I know it's a small thing, but I think it will be more fun for you all to rp that out rather than just assuming something at the start.

SalmonMax Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I think callsigns are generally used by pilots when actually flying, so that they're not using real names over unsecured radio broadcasts.Sometimes squads will use code names when broadcasting, but not really regular callsigns.That's always been my impression at least.

Forge Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 Originally Posted By: SkyLionOoh! Another hole... Horribly distasteful, but still hilarious! ----No callsigns!? Yes it may be 'cannon', but not true to military standards by any means. But I do agrree with the justification of it being a familiarity thing as most people, if any, actually choose their own nick. It will be fun to RP them out IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
