Space Battleship Tsukihime

[Deleted]

The Tsukihime, a battleship of the SDF, has been stranded at the edge of known space! Now, the crew of the Tsukihime must find their way back. In their way stands hostile aliens, marauding space pirates, unknown planets, and even stranger obstacles. Will they make it back, or will they get themselves lost even more deeply in space, or worse?

---

The RP is, quite simply, about the crew of the Tsukihime and their journey home. The battleship is heavily-equipped, but there's a great deal of danger out in space. Mecha, fighters, it's quite heavily-equipped.

Crew members can be anything from the cook to pilots, and the tone of the RP is semi-serious.

[Rain]

• Name: Captain Morgan
  
• Age: 142
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: Generally, the cannons and shoulder attachments are swapped out for actual arms.
  
• Personality: The captain, much to the detriment of those that haven’t gotten to know her, is nowhere near as calm, collected, and methodical as her appearance suggests she should be. She’s rather gung-ho about things and hates following protocols. Half the time she spends on the bridge is spent trying to make a robot that can do her job for her so she can spend as much time as she wants playing games and lazing around.
  Just don’t threaten her ship. It gets her annoyed. Or try and resist replacing any body part sufficiently damaged that it interferes with your duty. You can turn it off or take it off or whatever on your time, but when you’re working, you’re not allowed to be physically incapable of your job.
  
• Brief Backstory: A long time ago, a young Morgan was put in charge of her first ship. It was just a small intrastellar trader, nothing fancy or particularly important. She got attacked by some opportunistic pirates, had her ship blown up, and got a whole bunch of scars. Her next command escaped relatively unscathed apart from the time a pipe burst in the bridge and took one of her legs with it.
  She graciously took the replacement but... well, it didn’t really fit her needs. So she improved upon it. Then redesigned it. Then just designed one from the ground up. All three were riddled with flaws, but over time she actually learned how these things worked well enough to improve things some more.
  Then her ship was smashed by an asteroid and she lost the other leg. This sort of thing rather set the tone, so by the point she got to the Tsukihime she’d ended up with almost all external biological components at least replaced with synthetic flesh. Her brain, however, is still completely normal, along with her lungs (aside from some things that let her mess with computers more directly and circumvents some unfortunate flaws with human memory).
  Possibly the one thing she isn’t sure about is why she needs to consciously remember to breathe. Since this makes sleeping difficult, her bedroom is basically a sort of swimming pool with a waterproofed bed and stuff in it (think LCL for how that works).
  
• Position: Captain
  
• Skills:
  • Being Captain
    
  • Designing robotics, especially those meant to interface with biological stuff.
    
  • Basically having detachable, swappable limbs. Odd person.
• Equipment: Aside from the ‘does normal stuff’ arms and legs, she’s got one arm that’s basically every type of tool she could need to get things done, one that allows her to interface directly with computers and save time that way, two with their own power sources that act as powerful cannons (and she learned not to fire them where there’s anything volatile after blowing up her last ship) and legs for walking on every environment, including lava, and walking on ceilings. Mostly she sticks to the base stuff because otherwise she has to eat more.

[Roxas]

Name: Lily Kurama

Age: 20

Gender: Female

Appearance: "No, really, I'm normal. Seriously."

Personality:
A girl that likes to take care of others, Lily shows excessive politeness to all her crew mates and never reacts to jeers - unless they're aimed at her cooking skills, then her confidence is completely shot for a while and her food becomes less 'awesome' and more 'you can't even be nice and eat this potentially lethal slime'.

Aside from wanting to be a competent cook for the crew, she also wants to be the one people confide in and trust, and is even thinking about learning how to be a pilot as well, even if she's utterly terrible at it. Can also be easily distracted by cute/pretty/obviously-dangerous-yet-so-very-shiny things.

Brief Backstory: Lily herself isn't really notable, but since she comes from a family of incredibly eccentric pilots and captains that are known for their blunders, she's occasionally recognised as one of them back home. She joined the Tsukihime a few years ago to try and prove she was different.

Position: Head Cook

Skills:
Is an awesome cook.
Can keep a calm state of mind in most situations

Equipment:
'999,999,999,998 Ways to Make Meals On the Starry Road' - A rather diverse digital cook book, with recipes using ingredients from various planets. Lily especially recommends Recipe #435,997,127,008 for its high nutrition!

Everyone's accepted so far.

• Name: Tsukahara Amaya
  
• Age: 18
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: "Officer Tsukahara, reporting for duty!"
  
• Personality: Amaya is a sweet and friendly girl, with a slightly shy streak. While she's not the kind of person to completely avoid social contact, she is often not the first person to speak when she meets someone new and is usually the last person to introduce herself. Once she gets over her shyness, Amaya is talkative and curious person, often deeply interested in technology. Especially weapons technology. Amaya has what some would call an unhealthy interest in explosions, and the things that cause explosions. She barely keeps herself from outright cheering when something explodes, really. And if the explosion is large enough, she can't help it. She's incredibly enthusiastic when it comes to the ship's weapons, especially the Artemis Cannon.
  
• Brief Backstory: Amaya became part of the SDF early on in her life. Due to her exceptional skill with ship-mounted weaponry, she excelled through the ranks and became the Chief Weapons Officer on-board the Tsukihime.
  
• Position: Chief Weapons Officer
  
• Skills:
  • Technical skills
  • Gun maintenance
  • Gun Knowledge
  • Demolition Expertise

[EldritchMermaid]

• Name: Hikari Sato
  
• Age: 19
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: “Yes, I’m a natural green.”
  
• Personality: She’s a bit bubbly but not outright Genki, meaning that she can still focus all the time.
  
• Brief Backstory: Hikari’s been a pilot in the SDF for three years, but has been flying things even longer than that; she first held the controls of the cargo ship her family ran when she was just ten, and took to it like a duck to water. She just prefers to make things go bang rather than taking the long haul like that.
  
• Position: Fighter Squadron flight leader (“Angel One”).
  
• Skills: She’s an awesome pilot as one would sort-of expect given how quickly she got where she is. However, while she carries a pistol for self-defence her marksmanship with it leaves something to be desired.
  
• Equipment:
  • 1x FGR-14 Multi-environment fighter
    
  • 1x Particle Handgun.

Fighter sheet:

• Designation: FGR-14 Multi-environment fighter

[Mahou Moerin]

• Name: Whilst her birth name is "Sarah Elizabeth", she has had her name legally changed to "Charlotte Aznable". Her callsign is, naturally, "Red Comet".
  
• Age: 19
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: Refuses to wear proper uniform. It's rumoured that she wears the mask because her face was horribly disfigured in battle; as is evidenced here this is not true in the slightest.
  
• Personality: Cool, calm and collected whilst in the cockpit of her mecha, but otherwise... She is a very quirky, nerdy girl who has more than a slight obsession with an ancient science fiction series known as "Gundam". Whilst not piloting, she is hotblooded and quick to shout out the virtues of the various heroes of all the different iterations of this "Gundam". Her obsession extends to the point that she lists "Gundam" as her religion on census forms, and that she refuses to wear a proper uniform, instead preferring to dress in full Char Aznable cosplay whilst on duty.
  
• Brief Backstory: An ace pilot with more than a few screws loose. Despite her eccentricities, she is one of the very best pilots around, and despite her age is already gaining a reputation as a legend in the making.
  
• Position: Ace Pilot (mecha)
  
• Skills: Easily one of the best mecha pilots in the SDF. This is, however, balanced out by the fact that she is so eccentric that many people find her difficult to work with.
  
• Equipment: Custom Assault Engine "∀ Gundam" (read as "Turn-A Gundam"). It is notably faster and more durable than regular AEs. As its standard equipment, it is armed with a particle beam rifle, a beam saber, a bazooka and a shield. Charlotte's weapon of choice, however, is a custom rocket-propelled flail which she dubs the "Gundam Hammer".

[Falkon]

Name: Wolfgang Herman

Age: 28

Gender: Male

Appearance: This, but with normal clothes.

Personality: Wolfgang is a very serious person, with a perfectionist streak. Might have a less serious side, but it's buried deep.

Brief Backstory: Wolfgang's life has been rather average, with the possible exception of training in various forms of martial arts and marksmanship throughout his life. Professionally, he has spent most of his career aboard various deep space stations, only joining the crew of the Tsukihime after his promotion, and the previous head of security's retirement, happened to line up.

Position: Head Security Officer

Skills: A good enough security officer to become the head security officer of the Tsukihime. Is an expert swordsman and an above-average marksman. Studies cryptography in his spare time.

Equipment: His katana, the standard weaponry for an SDF security officer, and a computer.

Since no-one seems to want the Head Engineer position, um...

• Name: Guinevere
  
• Age: While she may look somewhat younger, she was constructed to physically appear twenty. Chronologically, she is thirty-five.
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: "Oh, I'm just going to get some spare parts." While she is robotic, she is indistinguishable from a human being from the outside. If the crew was not already aware of her robotic nature, she could easily pass for human even in the showers. However, internally she is fully robotic.
  
• Personality: Guinevere is a cheerful and enthusiastic girl. She is deeply interested in technology. Well, other technology, given that she's a piece of technology herself. She enjoys talking about technology, working with technology, and making new things with technology. Guinevere deeply enjoys meeting new people, especially if they have new technology or tools to give to her. She is is willing to make friends with just about anyone, and is perhaps a bit overly trusting. Guinevere is almost always eager to help, even when the problem has nothing to do with technology. It's a bad idea to let her try to help with something that has nothing to do with technology, as she is very poor just about everything aside from technology.
  
• Brief Backstory: Built by Captain Morgan, originally, now works as the Head Engineer on-board the Tsukihime.

• Skills:
  • Engineering and robotics skills
  • While not technically a skill, she is much stronger then she appears
  • Able to repair self if the damage is not to a critical system and she has the right materials
  
  
• Equipment:
  • Various engineering tools
  • Particle Handgun for self-defense
  
  

[Rain]

• Name: Tsukimura Lucille
  
• Age: 43
  
• Gender: Female
  
• Appearance: Lucille's appearance is rather distinctive, though not quite to the extent of the captain's. Whilst an autoimmune disorder is strongly responsible for that, her choices in fashion as a result are much more than simply the icing on the cake. With so much pale skin on hand, Lucille eventually decided to substitute tattoos for hair, almost entirely a combination of the more impressive animals of the Chinese Zodiac and the Western classical elements. Scalp, back, back of arms, outside of legs, rear... lots and lots of tattoos.
  The doctor's distinctiveness is enhanced by her choice in clothing. Take a labcoat. Replace the white cloth with white leather. Add golden embossing and remove the sleeves. Now swap formal shirts for tanktops and trousers for jeans that look like you've gotten into a duel with a wolf. Finally, add fingerless gloves to match the coat. Lucille was upset by sticking out for something minor as a child but as an adult she's gone in the opposite direction.
  Physically, though, she's not too impressive: half Japanese, half French; brown eyes, and rather short. About all that's notable about her physique is surprisingly well-defined musculature.
  
• Personality: Lucille is, despite her bizarre appearance, extremely orderly and punctual. Though not quite a schedule fanatic, she makes sure to set aside a few hours every day for her hobbies and keeps her desk meticulous. If something can be answered in one word, it will, and if someone tries to start gossiping with her then they'll be summarily ignored.
  
• Brief Backstory: Born on the moon, Lucille's first job was as a lowly medical assistant on one of Captain Morgan's ships. As one of the few crew members to both stick with her and survive, she gradually rose to her current position and learned a lot of skills she would never have expected a doctor to need.
  
• Position: Chief Medical Officer
  
• Skills:
  • Surgeon: Though not too at home with dealing with day-to-day complaints and generally left to do paperwork, Lucille possesses considerable skill with more serious cases. This extends to fitting cybernetic prosthetics.
    
  • Guitarist: One of Lucille's two hobbies is music and whilst she dislikes singing, she certainly has nothing against playing in public.
    
  • Martial Arts: The reason for her surprising physique and youthfulness, aside from a carefully picked diet, lies in picking up martial arts as a hobby after her first ship got boarded, then half torn apart by careless small arms fire. The exact style vaguely resembles a blend of aikido, karate, and kendo with furniture in place of swords.
  
  
• Equipment: Sold to her as an old piece of junk by an antiques dealer that didn't know what they had on hand.
