Looking to potentially throw together a band of mercenaries. Looking for three categories of writer.
OOC, I want to get together a group of folks who like writing hard military sci-fi. There's not really a whole lot going on for the soldierly types outside of a couple of imperial factions, so I thought it might be fun to get together and see what we can make happen. Yes, we will be working for and with factions where possible, but I also want to do some actual stories within the group. Soldier type characters are basically shoehorned into one or two very narrow niches, and that's a damn shame, because there's a lot of potential that's ignored outside of invasions and skirmishes. The camaraderie, the gallows humor, the determination and the fatalism, there's a whole rich world outside of the melodrama of the Jedi and the Sith.
You don't have to be a master of writing this sort of character to join up. All I ask is that when we do get a contract, you behave in a professional manner OOC. In character, you are free to act as your character would, though obviously if you can't function within a disciplined organization, this is probably not for you. OOC, you will be held to a higher standard. I don't care what anyone else is doing, we will do this right. If you sign on for this, there will be no powergaming or godmoding. You will not queen, whine, or complain if something doesn't go your way. If your opponent is being a douchebag, we will address that in the appropriate manner.
With that in mind, anyone interested?
- NPC specialists- Folks with a good head for unit tactics, whether they be on the small scale (fire team, squad, platoon, or company) or on the large scale (anything up to an army).
- Fleet specialists- People who know fleeting. If you can handle ships, we want you.
- FU combat specialists- Individuals who can reliably fight against Force Users. No preference towards FU or NFU, so long as you're good at what you do.
