This will be the Q&A for Submission: Explorations of Zanthora! I'll start out by just posting the (So-far) character sheets.
---
Player: PrincessAli
Name: Lyonna Elizza Woodrove
Age: 29
Gender: Female
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 121 ibs
Bloodtype: O Negative
Occupation: Captain of Security
Marital Status: Single (Her engagement recently ended)
Personality: Lyonna can come across as a serious and stuck-up person, but this is mostly due to the fact she sees herself as responsible for these people. If you can break her shell, she's actually friendly and outgoing, and has a tendency to make people laugh. Lyonna is pretty laidback about everything, except for those who don't take danger seriously, in which case she may come across as an a**. Lyonna's also charasmatic, judgemental, and a bit hot-tempered.
Hobbies: Caring for her weapons, exercising, sculpting, reading
Skills: Ability to use guns, knives, and her own body as a weapon. She can also improvise from her surroundings, and usely has an acute sense of what's going on around her. She can often influence those around her to do as she wants, and is a good, if not stern, leader.
Interests: Weapons (Guns especially), exercise, religion, and Zanthora.
Fears: Lyonna has no publicly-known fears; however, she's terrified inside to let those she's protecting down.
Dislikes: She can't stand people who think they know better than her or believe they can take care of themselves with no one else's help. Or smart-a**es, spoiled brats, show-offs, know-it-alls, or attractive people, because they tend to be all of the above.
Interesting Characteristics: Lyonna has a tattoo of violet wings on her back that stretch from her shoulder-blades to her waist. She also has a diamond stud on the right side of her nose.
Physical Description: She's taller than an average woman, and has a very toned body; there's no fat what-so-ever on her, and her muscles aren't show-offy, but hard and firm. Lyonna has a dark complexion, from her Hispanic and African-American heritage, and a clear complexion. Her eyes are dark, almost black they're so brown. Her hair, which is shiny and ebony, is extremely curly, but cut short at her shoulders and usually tied up or braided.
Known Biography: Because she doesn't really talk about herself, little is known of her past. However, it's common knowledge her father was the pilot of the original Zanthora mission, and her mother is a famous actress back on Earth. It's also known that she was recently engaged to a young security officer several years younger than herself.
Full Biography: What the others don't know is that she was always alone as a child, left with nannies and whatever family could take care of her while her parents were busy with their careers. In fact, she rarely recieved birthday presents, and was home-schooled. At 17, she left for college, but quickly went into school to train for security, where she met her fiance, Ryan. Her and Ryan were very different, but they were soon engaged. However, when it was made public she would be chosen for the second Zanthora mission, Ryan was immensely jealous. He and Lyonna got into heated arguements and often fist-fights for several months before he finally called off the wedding, only a few days before Lyonna and the rest of the SS Silver Spear's crew left.

Player: Steelight
Name: Lance "Shadow" Vizard
Age: 29
Gender: male
Height: 6' 2"
Weight: 203 lbs.
Bloodtype: O+
Occupation: Technician, trained to assist security forces (basically he is a tech who trained in martial arts, then volunteered for the security team, though he would be nowhere near as apt in weaponry as a security specialist).
Marital Status: Single (and a flirt to boot)
Personality: Public: He tends to hang out around the edges of public areas, watching people. Generally he doesn't start conversations, but is more than willing to participate if addressed. For those who know him well, they know he is very artistic and inventive, though he tends to showboat a bit. He is also a well known adrenaline junky.
Hobbies: Inventions, art (sketching), tinkering with mechanical and electronic systems in order to improve them, motorcycle racing
Skills: Martial arts (kung-fu), electrician, mechanic, robotics, engineering design, troubleshooting software and applications, test equipment, engines, schematics, computers (hardware & software)... basically if it isn't living he can figure it out. People... not so much. He also loves his motorcycles and the speed that comes with racing.
Interests: Classical music, art, martial combat, speed (fast vehicles)
Fears: None really, though he really doesn't like being thrown into situations with a bunch of people he doesn't know...
Dislikes: Stupidity, arrogance (that isn't his), authority figures.
Interesting Characteristics: A pair of gears tattooed on his left forearm (a sign of an engineering group he was in once)
Physical Description: Tall, with a slightly tan complexion. He is well-muscled (lean from martial arts training not bulky) and tends to wear sunglasses to look cool (unless they negatively affect his ability to see).
Known Biography: he was a member of an elite engineering team that designed and constructed some high-tech engine that is the latest and greatest (I'll leave it to you to tell me what that is... and it doesn't have to be an engine, just something important, and that's where the gear tattoo came from). Because of the team's success and the fact that he was so young when he worked on it he was chosen for this mission. It might also be known that he used to fight competitively in martial arts (though nothing on a professional level, more like underground fighting circuits and such. Again I leave that up to you to determine if they might know that or not since I don't know how much info we have on the other characters.).
Full Biography: While he was part of the underground fighting circuit he made a few less-than legal contacts and as a result performed/participated in numerous illegal activities from cyber-crime to high-profile theft (usually as technical support but not always). He enjoyed the rush that criminal activity gave him (since he is a bit of an adrenaline junky) but the last job he did got him a hair's breadth away from life in prison, so he stopped and went on to more legit activities.

Age: 30
Gender: Male

Tries to be suave with the ladies but tends to come up short, and usually does better when he just acts normally. His friends say he is very flirty even when he isn’t trying. Very protective of women especially those close to him. People are drawn to him, not because he is popular, but more because he is a good person to be around. He tends to get along better with women more than he does men. His friends describe him as caring and always willing to help. He has a quick temper sometimes. Privately he usually seems a bit sad. Like something in his life is missing. He meditates quite often.

Fears: Quintin has phobia for being in places with large crowds of people that he doesn’t know. He is afraid of losing those he cares about.

His face isn't extravagantly beautiful but his is rather handsome.
Known Biography: Not completely open about his past, so much of his young life is unknown. It is known that he comes from a large family and has seven other siblings. Most people know he is former military special ops, though no one knows much more specific than that.
Full Biography: Quintin Amrit Eitel, which literally translated means The Fifth Immortal Shining Sword, was born into a fairly wealthy family. He was one of eight siblings and one of four boys. From the time he could hold a sword he was taught how to wield it. Knowledge and discipline were very important in his family as well. He and his siblings were sent to the best schools and training facilities. He enjoyed school and had a knack for absorbing knowledge. Most of his friends had no idea how wealthy he was, and only a select few know now. He never adopted the typical "I'm rich so I'm better than you attitude". He grew up a humble person. He graduated high school at 16 and went on to college. He graduated early at the age of 19 with a degree in philosophy. However as much as he liked learning and expanding his knowledge, he was also interested in the military. He joined up shortly after graduating college. With his discipline in martial arts and aptitude to learn he quickly excelled through the ranks. He also discovered an unnatural accuracy with firearms. At 21 he was recruited for the special ops division. He also continued his educational pursuits when time allowed him too. He became an officer at 23 and "officially" disappeared for two years. The only record of his whereabouts and actions during this time was an entry in his military record that simply stated “sniper training”. A year after he returned from his disappearance, he decided to leave the military and pursue civilian contracting. He worked as a freelancer for approximately two years. At 28 he had his Masters degree in philosophy, was a registered EMT, and underwent EOD training. He also had several other minor degrees in various subjects. He was working as a security liaison to a private company when he received correspondence informing him to report to the SS Heavenly Maiden.

Two NPCS will also be added, and kept (Even if we get more players)

I would like to join but I'd first like to know how this game will be played and if there is a position available.

Let me message you the details Lovelie.

Added our ONE NPC, awaiting confirmation for our final character.

BTW, I paused Lyonna and Sev so that Lance and Quintinn could begin their little bit. Steelight and Dakarta, you guys posting?

Grrr....wanna post...

Lyonna did respond to you

sorry about the odd title here. I had thought that from the post about Siera, that she was Lyonna's daughter. After reading he bio and rereading the post I relize my mistake. She is actually the captain's daughter. So My brain is back on track now. Of course I doubt the my character knows this so ...shh...don't tell him.

No, it's an easy mistake Dakarta, all is well!

And sunow4... You'e never paused unless we all say so ;P

Hey was it okay to assume that the ships pipes still had a source of heat. And was it god moding to deflect a partical pistol with a sword cause I can always edit it if it was

It was slightly God moding o.o

And I'm not sure about the pipes, but I see no harm

Alright I edited the post

No problem, I understand I'm not your typical Gm =) I'm glad that you asked though, i really respect players like that!
