Alright, that accounts for all of the old guard. Here's who I still need bios OR placeholders to be posted from, mixing the order slightly to account for timezones.

@Zain Shah
@Euan
@Black0ut
@Mangrale

If one of you reads this before your then go ahead and post your bio/bio placeholder to move things along.

Once they are all done we can worry about any short bios for minor characters, such as my squad of a mix of NPCs and PCs, lone adopted soldiers, and a certain Dr. Hu (male).

If you need a template for those look at how I did the Rocketeers and Atka's Squadmates in the old bio thread.

And if anyone is interested in founding a Team of their own, let me know. Team Groups can be 4-16 people that will sometimes find themselves working together. The general purpose of making permanent teams is to group up (but not isolate) characters and have a pool of NPC soldiers that your soldier will often fight alongside.

Don't expect an actual deployed misson squad (8-12) to always include a majority of your Team with your charscter though, as we are still doing random selection or situational class spread. If your team of say 12 doesnt have many paratroopers or people with rockets and we are fighting a mass of aerial units, expect to see less of your team and more paratroopers rocketeers and heavies from the main pool of unassigned soldiers.

If that is confusing but you want to build up some minor characters/NPC 'cannon fodder' soldiers around your soldier character, let me know and ill answer any questions in private.

Story thread won't go up until i get home since there is no way I am editing for colored italic thoughts on my phone or tablet. It would take hours scrolling up and down...

But when the story thread goes up we will post week -1 posts in an orderly fashion similar to how we did bios. Once we hit the June 27th-ish deadline hopefully they will all be in and then solos and collabs can flow as they are written. So get writing to finish bios and week -1 before its too late.

If I need to I will extend the final deadline from JUNE 25-27 to JUNE 30th for a few extra days. In the meantime everyone that is finished with bios and intros can start working on solos and collaborations to pass the time.

But on JULY 1ST, at the LATEST the Einherjar sets sail and the story starts. Anyone that is not finished with week -1 may just have to do without, but there is really not a good reason why anyone wouldnt have finished bios and even just a short intro having a whole month to do so.

Of course there is Karla but I figure she will be one of the people that join later on. Still no word from Aaron?
Unfortunately no; I talked to him once and he said he'd have a look at the roleplay when he had time so he either never bothered or changed his mind.

Eh, so be it. He, like Karla and Big Dread and maybe one more can join in later.

All joining in later means is that you make a bio and then me or Zmby will help you work in where and how you were recruited.

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but there has been an influx of like 5-6 people recently. I see a new name in the newest member box every day, but I have yet to see them post. Wonder where they are all coming from... One of the servers maybe.i'm sure @Sarge would be glad to see that though.

I'm looking for a soldier to room with Alexandros so if anyone is interested let me know because I want to make sure that I do the most I can with him since he is my only character.

Doctor Who?
Dramma pls

Potentially Samantha "totally-not-Samus" Steele might be an option for you, though I'm not sure the Commander would approve of such a room assignment.

Nor Isaac for that matter.

Shame, too. Our timezones are actually somewhat aligned, so I'd probably end up doing more with you than I did with Penny and Ellie last season (sorry Marine).

Oh, yeah. Like last season we can have characters room with eachother or be solo. Usually it will be soldier with soldier, scientist with scientist, and so on. Probably 1-4 per room, but exceptions (like rows of bunks) can exist.

Not sure if I have anyone to room with Alexsandos. Let me think, if not me then someone else... Perhaps a fellow brit.

Edit: or an aussie.

@DarkGemini24601 Would XSDF allow a male and female rooming together because I think that the contrast between Samantha and Alexandros might be interesting?

Actually last season we had that happen with Emily Fischer and her squad. Room was very much mixed.

... but that was under O'Brien. New Commander might not be so, ah... trusting. I'd be up for it, but it's a question of whether what's-her-face would permit it.

... I really need to learn her name, or there's gonna be trouble.

I'm terrible with names. I know maybe 5 of the new characters even though I've read through all of the bios so it's gonna be... interesting referring to characters :p

I don't play Astasha, but speaking for Zombie, I think he'd allow it based on the fact that things wuld be realy boring otherwise.

Whoo... Lucky me...

Sorry I've been offline. My Dad shut the internet for reasons I won't go over because I wouldn't be surprised if he went through my computer to find out what I've been telling you guys.

Short of it is, I'm really upset now.

Mind telling me what I need to do?

You need to give me one name for me so I can have a solder that represents you. Gonna play Xenonauts and want some names :)

Already got 5 ty btw
