This is the discussion thread for Cornerian Mercenaries. We will also no longer be accepting new players because we have met our maximum amount of them.

I know you're full, but should you ever have an opening, I'd love to join in.

EDIT: All right, looks like I'm in with the new chapter! I will join in with Jolene:

Name: Jolene Wilder

Age: 24

Race: African Wild Dog

Origin: Born on Katina; grew up on Titania

Home: None/Planet hopper

Sex: Female

Family: Mathias and Jordan Wilder (parents)

Appearance:

Mottled gold, tan and black coat, dark muzzle, bright white tail tip, amber eyes, white dappled forearms and calves, large round ears with notches in them. Jolene stands at 5'7" and has an athletic build. She wears an olive green tank top, dark jeans, and sturdy dark brown work boots. She will wear a loose darker green button-up shirt over her tank when appropriate, and she wears a red bandana as her only accessory, either as a headband, neck kerchief, or tied around her wrist. (click here to see an image of her)

Personality: 

Jolene is fairly easy-going and adaptable to most situations. She's more of a "roll with the punches" type of personality and is very independent. She's amiable to others and polite by default. She likes to make people laugh and can be rather sarcastic and witty when she's in a good mood. She's loyal to friends, but she has difficulty trusting others in a team setting and often will try to do as much work as she can to ensure she'll be able to manage on her own "just in case". To enemies, she is cold and uncaring to a fault. Once you have broken her trust, it is almost impossible to earn back.

Background: 

Jolene was born in a military base on Katina, but she spent most of her life on Titania, her family having been transferred to a base there soon after her birth. In the harsh desert climate, she developed a tough skin to the extreme elements and learned to adapt to severe changes. She grew up with a fairly standard childhood, good grades, great friends. She entered the Cornerian Academy to study medicine and become a doctor like her parents.

Halfway through her education she met and fell in love with a fellow student. He was everything she could have ever dreamed, intellectual, witty, and incredibly sensitive. She fell hard for him, and they were very happy together until he suddenly vanished. With no idea what could have happened to him and no luck with the authorities, fear turned to panic when she was presented with a ransom one night. Asking for a large sum of money in exchange for his life, and on the condition that no one would be informed of the transaction, Jolene blindly withdrew the funds from her parents' account and set out to meet her boyfriend's captors with the money. However, upon arriving, it became clear, to her horror, that the man she loved had been the one who orchestrated the entire thing. He had been supplying local dealers with narcotics from the institute but suffered a crippling loss after a deal went awry. Having learned about her well-to-do family, he staged his own kidnapping with the intention of using the ransom to pay for the staggering debt he owed. Having fulfilled her role, Jolene was no longer needed, and the plan was to eliminate her to keep her quiet.

She barely escaped the danger with her life. Shamed, afraid, and broken she fled Corneria and began a long journey going from planet to planet to evade any possible pursuers. She learned quickly how to defend herself and took up vehicles as a hobby. Eventually, she came back to Corneria to confront her demons, and her actions led to the successful arrest of her ex-lover, and an investigation of the institute ensued. Several years later she remains alone but survives as a private bounty hunter/mercenary.

Abilities:

 Excels in operating land-based vehicles (such as automobiles and all-terrain vehicles) and ground stealth. Her preferred mode of transportation is her hover-bike. She knows basic self defense moves and can handle a semi-automatic handgun. She can fly well enough to keep from getting herself killed, but she prefers to be as close to the ground as possible. In space skirmishes, she provides strategic insight from a base ship, where she can view the entire picture and direct fighter pilots to targets. Coming from a family of doctors, she knows a good wealth of medical knowledge, particularly in terms of field survival. She can provide intermediate health care (mending broken bones, emergency field wound dressing, etc.). She has the knowledge to provide surgery, but she is not confident in her ability to do so, as she has never preformed surgery on a living patient.

UPDATE

We will be accepting roles for villains and "temporary characters."

Villains are, of course, villains and can jump in at really any time (since villains like to mess things up.)

Temporary characters are characters that show up for one or two chapters, then either leave or die.

If anyone is interested, apply here with a bio of your character.

Is this still going?  I wouldn't mind applying for a position.  Hell, I'll be a villain first if my OC doesn't fit.

Unfortunately, It was locked. However, I did request to be In your rp.
