Approved. Yay
Name: Mitsuko Akamura
Gender: female
Age: 27
Appearance: Short dark hair in a bob, tallish, regular build, butterfly tattoo on arm, scar on neck.
Personality: At first slightly rude and sarcastic, but very sweet once you know her.
Position aboard the Oppenheimer: Medic
Biography: Mitsuko was born to a single mother, Yuri Akamura, in Kyoto. Yuri wanted her daughter to have the best possible life and so Mitsuko was pushed to excel academically. Mitsuko wanted to travel the world, but also wanted to make her mother happy and so went to medical school, coming top of her class. She was then chosen for the Oppenheimer Project and Mitsuko, although apprehensive, was pleased to have been offered the job.

GM Approved!
Name: Clark Donovan
Gender: Male
Age: 23
Appearance: Lean build. Dark skin, hair, and eyes. Four nipples. In case you had to know.
Personality: Smart but reserved; observant but sometimes aloof.
Position aboard the Oppenheimer: Technician.
Biography: Born and raised in the Chicago suburbs, Clark was an intelligent - if sometimes lazy - student. He never really applied himself to anything, but he never really had to; for most of his life, it's been easy enough to get by. Fresh out of college, his brains landed him a spot on the crew of the Oppenheimer - albeit an entry-level tech job, but Clark's just glad to get off the planet. At this stage, Clark still doesn't know what he'd like to do with his life, but he's ready to give spacefaring a shot. Worse comes to worse, he figures he'll just come home with enough money to help pay for grad school.

OOC: Why would there be any fighting personel? There are no instances within Penguinator's starting post to indicate the human race is aware of any exraterrestial, sentient lifeforms. So such personel would be illogical, especially on an exploratory vessel that the Oppenheimer obviously is.
Just saying.

OOC: true, but it would make sense for there to be at least one military expert or some such, as a safety measure against either other humans being evil, or there actually being something out there that wants to bite our collective heads off.
just an amused observation really, as that's normally what a lot of people jump for.

So I have a response to this and an announcement.
NO FURTHER CHARACTER SHEETS WILL BE ACCEPTED.
I apologize to those who wish to play, but we have a full crew now. The opening post can be expected tomorrow, and I apologize for the delay.
Trimaj, most space programs take in pilots from the military. Military pilots still have some basic combat training, therefore, it would stand to reason that the current crew, while rusty and not Space Marines, know how to fire a weapon.

OOC: Let's begin.
October 20th, 2053
As the night drew on, the convoy of vehicles drew closer to their destination in the Mojave desert. Up came Joshua Tree, the last civilian town that the passengers would see for a while. The trucks stopped to fuel up, filling their tanks and letting the fuel cells do their job at converting the hydrocarbons.
It was dark out, but friendly light emanated from the gas station, and a faint glow could be seen behind the distant horizon, a melancholy reminder of the sunset. In the distance, not too far away, an old ranch house's windows glowed and glimmered, movement behind the panes visible. Their was laughter and music, faint but true.
The suited man in charge of the convoy had given the passengers express instructions not to speak to one another, while assuring them that there would be plenty of time for their questions once they got to 03, wherever that was.
And now he spoke his second sentence of the night to the passengers - Bryce, Duall, Lorn, Roy, Renar, Kellen, Adams, Akamura and Donovan - telling them that they had a ten minute stop here.
The passengers got out, stretched, still unsure of what to do. They knew this was classified - the men that had gone to get them had told them quite simply that it had to do with the reserve team - and they all knew what that meant.
The reserve team was them. They were the back-up to the Volkoff project, ready to ship out at a moment's notice when they were given their orders. They had three hours to say their goodbyes before they were taken to 03.
For some, that was easy, and for others, it wasn't. But they were here now, ready for anything.
"All right, that's ten - load up, people."
With slow steps the team clambered back into their vehicle, and in moments the ranch house, gas station, and last rays of sunlight were left behind as the trucks rumbled down the road towards 03.
The radio in the team's truck crackled, and the driver turned it up for all to hear.
"03 is approximately one hundred clicks away - I think we can take away your gags, figuratively speaking. I know you've got a lot of questions, and they'll have to wait, but at least you can talk to each other now. Over and out."
As the hummers and troop trucks rolled in front and behind them, the team drew nearer and nearer towards 03.

IC: Mitsuko
Mitsuko looked around at her team-mates, then quickly looked back down again. She didn't want to engage too much with these people right now. She was glad to have been chosen for such an important mission, whatever it really was.
She rubbed her neck absent mindedly and looked around again. Something caught her eye for a second, but she shrugged it off as nothing.
The only thing she could really do now was wait.

OOC: short, but sweet I think.

IC: Bryce
Convoy
3 Klicks...shoot...1 klick is like what...2 snaps and a pop?
Bryce had never really learned military lingo, he coudl spout a line of 1's and 0's faster than you couls shake a stick at, but had no idea what a klick was.
He sat, rather uncomfortably, with the rest of the reserve team. Even though the gag was lifted the air was still somber...they all knew something had gone wrong with the first mission, that's why they were being sent in.
Bryce shrugged his shoulders a bit. No matter how often you wear a suit it is never comfortable to a guy like him. But, it was TCD Detectives dress code, and while he wasn't under TCD command right now, he still felt bound by them. He'd formed a kinship with the TCD no one would have expected, and though his tie might be a little looser, and his commitment a little more forced, he was still TCD.
He leaned to one side, adjusting the shoulder harness his pistol sat in, and cleared his throat.
"So...erm...I guess this is it huh."

OOC: 
IC as Madison Duall
Madison didn't mind the silence as much as some others. She had always had the knack for just drifiting off into her imagination and keeping her own company. She was pleased to be on the way. Now that she had the opportunity to, she glanced around at her fellows and smiled.
A pale and formidable looking man in a suit had just spoken a non-commital greeting and Madison turned to him with a smile. "Yep, on our way! I'm Madison. You can call me Madi. Aren't you hot in that suit?" The words tumbled out of her mouth all at once. Idiot. She chastised herself. She was always some-what nervous around new people and over compensated with pointless speaking. She had always been slightly socially awkward. Not knowing what to do, but not wating to talk pointlessly, Madi just smiled and sat back comfortably, hoping someone would engage her in conversation.

IC: Kyle Roy
Convoy
It was silent, besides the truck going across gravel. That made a very unpleasant grinding noise. He heard a man speak then a woman introduce herself.
"So...erm...I guess this is it huh."
"Yep, on our way! I'm Madison. You can call me Madi. Aren't you hot in that suit?"
Madi seemed to be pleased, so was Kyle. Kyle had been waiting for this trip to become operational. Kyle pondered of what it will be like in space. For all his life Kyle had been firmly planted on the ground. Besides his piloting planes Kyle had never been out of this atmosphere. Not that anyone here has, it was our first time. Or so Kyle thought. Kyle was slouched in his seat looking at his Laptop screen. Kyle grunted and closed his Laptop, placing in his backpack. Kyle sat up and leaned forward looking at everyone around him, then speaking.
“Hello Kyle Roy, Pilot and Engineer. But you can call me Kyle; I’m not big on titles”

IC: Marric Renar
Marric listened to the now buzzing chatter around him and smiled. This would be his second time onboard a ship, only this time he was the Executive Officer. He had liked the XO he had gotten back when he was a sensor tech. He had maintained professionalism while at the same time being easy to approach and relaxed off duty.
"So...erm...I guess this is it huh."
"Yep, on our way! I'm Madison. You can call me Madi. Aren't you hot in that suit?"
“Hello Kyle Roy, Pilot and Engineer. But you can call me Kyle; I’m not big on titles”
Marric spoke up, "Marric Renar, second stint in space for me." He didn't bring up his rank as now he wanted to just get to know them before they entered the more formal setting aboard ship. He was also curious who his captain was going to be.
