Welcome aboard the SC Ark Royal. We are pleased to have you apart of the crew. You all have completed extensive training, and now, that hard work is being rewarded.

Your time with aboard the SC Ark Royal is not just for fun and games. Your missions are important. As you know, 670 years ago, the Andromeda and Milky Way merged into one, creating a whole new galaxy to explore. Even being 345 years AM (After Merge), our new world is still quite unknown to us. As a member of the SC Ark Royal, your job is to explore the galaxy and deliver your findings to Station Artemis quarterly.



The SC Ark Royal is a Space Cruiser ship, model 7800. She is a sleek, powerful ship, capable of housing a large crew - up to 245 if needed. Ark Royal has two main sleeping quarters, a dining area, a lab, medical bay, hangar for smaller aircraft, and of course, a large and well equipped bridge. There are some small manned turrets attached to the ship, but she is more inclined to use her shields. The turrets are more of a last resort.

Id like the position of chief engineer.

Gotcha.
I'd like to be a science officer, specializing in alien sociology but also somewhat versed in other disciplines relating to the study of the various species in the galaxy. Not necessarily the chief science officer, though, unless no one else wants that position.

No problem! I'll put you in as an officer now; if no one takes up the offer on chief, I'll give it to you.
If possible, I'd like Faro D'Tar to be a tactical member, maybe a sniper or someone who would find locations to settle on the planet.

And Xroepralh could be the medical chief if need be, though she can be most of these if she was to bend her character over a bit.

Your choice,
Robin Cross
I think Daysa could work as the medical chief!
S'pose I'd be in the front lines. I'll be a part of the tactical group, if ya don't mind.

Lux beat you to it, sorry... I put you in under medical team if that's okay. Let me know if I need to change anything.
If no one else wants the bridge weapons officer position, Aimee can do both. It just means her day to day position is on the bridge and she does lots of paperwork and training outside of that xD

Uhhh, they can be the medical chief if they want. As I said Xroepralh is very flexible.
Is Siria good to be a tactical member as well? Though she herself wouldn't be outside, her frames would be.

Okay. I'll make the changes then. :)
Thank you Lux and Vail!!
May I please be the Science Chief? After all, Tardis DID make the first successful Time Machine! :D
Oh, before anyone makes a post, should there be a posting order? I think it'd make it easier for others to prepare themselves for their next post.

That's not really how forum RP works in groups this large. You just kind of keep track of who's doing what, and when everyone you're currently interacting with has gone, you can go again.

I agree with Aimee, though if we get into a routine for the biggest one (Aboard the SC Ark Royal), that's totally chill. However, I know that all of us have different time zones, so it may be difficult for us to all write together, and I want people to feel free to write whenever. I will do whatever I need to to help anyone out if they get a bit behind.

You all are allowed to branch off as well for 1x1 and smaller group Rps as well. I just want to get us all situated before that happens, ya know? ;)
Is it fine if I just have my character as a programmer for the ship? Or is that still engineering/science? I kinda think I want my character to be her own boss, but her having a boss would end funily anyways..

That would be under engineering, and nobody is their own boss on a ship. Except the Captain, but that's a little different. She bears responsibility for the ship and crew, so that's her job.
