[OOC] Discuss Character Bios

[Capt. Crunch]

I have created this thread to discuss bios, so we can discuss, comment, and ask questions about eachother's character bios.

[ColonelJax]

Let the criticism begin!!!!.... err constructive... that is... yeah :P

[Feign]

And canonization! XD

I'd still like to expand my bio, but if I wanted to be picky, that would ensue 100 000 years of info, with the past 10 000 being the more significant.

[Capt. Crunch]

My first victim is Raziel Altus. Seeing as both the Tok'ra and Asgard are hard to contact. The Asgard being more difficult until now. The Tok'ra have a much more effective method of removing a symbiote. Nearly fool proof I believe. The reason they used the Asgard Trasported in the Stargate Atlantis episode was because there are no Tok'ra in Pegasus. They are in the Milky way.

[NaySmithe]

Well im stuck at wanting to be a good guy and a bad guy.

This is how i thought of being both,

[Capt. Crunch]

It would be easier to have two characters. Sorry but Dr. Jeckel and Mr. Hyde complexes would not be very common. Also someone who acts like a Goa'uld even only at times would not be part of the 39th. (Character wise) It is against my character's nature to hand pick someone like that. If you want your character associated with the 39th you can't be evil. This is not a boot. It is merely stating that this character is not applicable for my command. It gives a bad impression.

[Tasarau]

It.... does get confusing some times I suppose. Is there any comment on mine?

[NaySmithe]

No but i think its my turn to criticize...


Has anyone read Appoloins yet.

Wraith and Ancient DNA????

[Capt. Crunch]

We have been over this. Completely unbelieveable seeing as the most contact from pegasus is a video and a possibly one Daedelous trip. and that is THE MOST!!!

[Floyd]

No but i think its my turn to criticize...


Has anyone read Appoloins yet.

Wraith and Ancient DNA????


Myself and Lis have both told him to change that, and he has yet to. I will PM him now.

[NaySmithe]

Na I'll go force him to do it.

He has internet in his room on weekends so...

Oh and there ill put my bio the way it was. Only slight modifications from the original.
Though its not exactly how i want it that might be caused by how you haft to do it to be able to dodge lis's wrath.

[Floyd]

PM already sent :)

[Sarizaddi]

I'm hot. That is my character Bio.

[Floyd]

I'm hot. That is my character Bio.

OMG quote machine, where are you!? :lol:

[Gaunt]

I'm hot. That is my character Bio.

Pics or it didn't happen. ;)

[Lycanthro]

Any critque on mine. I would like to improve it :D

[Lisentia]

Though its not exactly how i want it that might be caused by how you haft to do it to be able to dodge lis's wrath.

HAHAHHAHA! =D Love it!

and honestly, it's not my wrath you have to dodge. While it may be a bit forceful, it is still friendly advice to help others respect your character more and for you to earn respect as a player for following the same guidelines.

Remember how we never interfered one slight bit in your RP command forum? Same principle =D

[NaySmithe]

Yes but there i had more control here you are like a mod because of your experience.

Oh and i think i have done my bio now and i must just slightly change it when i have a sudden idea. but for now its fine.

[Capt. Crunch]

I agree with lis. However I was being forceful about association with my command. Thanks Raziel for fixing it. Its sparkly now.

Lycanthro yours is pretty good.

I'm hot. That is my character Bio.

:Facepalm:

[NaySmithe]

Now i will be adding pic to my stuff.

[Lisentia]

Yes but there i had more control here you are like a mod because of your experience.

I'm being asked for assistance. I'm still a regular member and a regular player just like you. If the majority of RPers that come here want to change rules and shift the community around, then let it be so!

These forums are less than a week old so far. Let's give it time and see how the community develops =D

[Tasarau]

so to make it clear........ mine's fine? ;)

[NaySmithe]

And its not only that but i think i would do better in a medieval environment.

[Lisentia]

so to make it clear........ mine's fine? ;)

No. Ship and "plasma blaster" need to go =)

[Lycanthro]

No. Ship and "plasma blaster" need to go =)

Can I have a ship?

[Tasarau]

Can I have a ship?
no. :P

and lis, I will replace my blaster with a zat or something if your not joking, but the ship stays. I use it in the space thread, which is my thread, soooooo :rolleyes:.

and, my blaster does overheat and malfunction over time. ;)

[Capt. Crunch]

Can I have a ship?

I think the Crunchy was fine. Remember there should be orbital assault ability ingame.

[ArosBok]

My biggest problem is with Division's character, Keilaran/Aldaria. I may not be a big RPer but I know Stargate cannon rather well, and most of what he says doesn't fit.

Based on what we know, the Ancients never attempted to grow purely organic life forms that were built by nanites. They would have had no need for that. Research on such technology would have likely been done around the time that the Pegasus replicators were being developed, and at the time they served their purpose without the need for them to create organic life forms built by nanites. After the problems with the replicators, it is likely that the Ancients abandoned that line of research for the most part. The only reason the Pegasus replicators developed the technology was to experiment with the hope of Ascending. Therefore, the host himself could likely not have existed.

Secondly, we know for a fact that the Goa'uld take on the gender of their host so the host and symbiote could not have different genders.

Lastly, there is only one planet where Goa'uld lived in a lake, the Unas homeworld. There are no colonists on that planet. Even if there was another planet where Goa'uld naturally lived in a lake, they would be just as primative as the Goa'uld from the Unas planet and would likely not have had the knowledge or understanding to develop the bond that is proposed. Also the symbiote would exhibit more of the instinctual behavior of the Goa'uld, and Aldaria does not.

I kinda like the idea for the character, but if it is going to work it needs to be made to fit into cannon, which is somewhat possible.

[Baak'Cha]

I just wish I could find a picture to go with my character bio for Charlene. And I'm definitely having trouble finding a way for my sniper character to even be possible. It's not like the SGC went around recruiting Army snipers and for the time frame of the character, the NID would have already been disbanded. So how do I believably have him pop up on the Praxis side?

btw Aros, I love how you turned Patrick Swayze into a Goa'uld!

[Lisentia]

The only thing I will defend Division's bio about is the mentioning of the swimming.

A Goa'uld queen could very well have chosen any planet, any body of water to begin spawning more of her children. Egeria did it, the nameless Queen(for Anubis) did it and Hathor did it: Just started spawning prim'ta right where they were. So that part is very possible.

True, I would assume that it is slightly possible for the queen to have done so. The host is still largely out of cannon. But if he were to say that he was a Pegasus replicator experiment that escaped, I could see that working.

[Lisentia]

Except that Pegasus replicators have no brains to be attached to like human hosts, they are a collection of microscopic computers.

Opcore recruits like minded military personnel. And remember, that they stole and pillaged and killed to get tech in the beginning. A sniper would have been right up their alley to recruit.

[ArosBok]

Yes, but the Pegasus replicators experimented with growing organic lifeforms using nanites as sort of construction workers rather than as the building blocks. They experimented with that as a way of researching ascension. Those guys had brains. The brains were given the memories of people whose brains had been scanned by the replicators.

[Lisentia]

at a much much much later date than when we are currently playing, gotta remember the ascension research was being done after the coalition destroyed the home world cataclysmically =D

[ArosBok]

True, I forgot the timeline. So his bio really doesn't work.

[Baak'Cha]

True, I forgot the timeline. So his bio really doesn't work.

So I think we're all agreed that it's back to the drawing board.....

[Baak'Cha]

I want to roll a MALP.....any takers?

[NaySmithe]

So Batmanthebest your master chief from halo. <ya thats out of canon.

[Lycanthro]

I made a 2nd char, but I think there are flaws in it. :(

[ArosBok]

I think it can work. The biggest flaws I saw were typos.

[Lycanthro]

I think it can work. The biggest flaws I saw were typos.

Thanks, will edit them out.

[ArosBok]

Only thing I might change is the attire. That works for casual, but you've got him working with the military, and they may have something to say about your choice of clothes.

[Lycanthro]

Thats what he wears when off-duty. He wears standard uniform when on duty. I'll edit to make it clearer.

[Capt. Crunch]

About Mist's bio: Out of uniform the RL me is the same. Except not in girlish ways. Interesting.

Speaking of that. Crunch is a much more idealistic version of myself. Not as fearless as I would like to be, but still. Interesting personality Misty. Sounds kind of like the person Crunch would reach out to in a social sitchuation.

[Lisentia]

\o/ YAY! Misty posted hers =D

[ColonelJax]

Opcore recruits like minded military personnel. And remember, that they stole and pillaged and killed to get tech in the beginning. A sniper would have been right up their alley to recruit.

Well there were plausible reasons why snipers really didn't see the light of day in the series, that being we're dealing with recon units which wouldn't really engage in long range assassinations or the sort. The game however seems to suggest there's actually Tau'ri built instillations, like the prison built by the SGC for Praxis. Which would suggest that as you further explore a planet, getting the feel for it, you would indeed find ways to utilize long range combat.

Matt is a sniper and that's sort of how I look at it. Generally he'll use a P90 but for the sake of expanded environments, he'll find a M110 in his hand and ready to cap a mo'fo from yards away. So all in all, as long as the RP situation itself supports a reason for utilizing a sniper rifle, you'll be all set. :)

[Sarizaddi]

Anyone have a spare goa'uld so we can suck Misty into the red head brigade?

[Capt. Crunch]

You can borrow mine:D

[ColonelJax]

Maybe one day but I haven't devised a capable plot for a reason behind my Goa'uld. I rather begin dealing with a Praxis nut. ;)

I'm lacking my creative thinking right now to begin creating some sort of popular and feared Goa'uld. :( But I'm unable to really develop a good plot with a Goa'uld character in mind, I am however open for suggestions if anybody has some ideas they wouldn't mind forking over :)


In fact the Praxis nut is growing favor, he'd grow into someone like

Course story not at all what I would have goin but he'd become one badarse.

[Feign]

As for my bio, any suggestions? criticisms? etc?

I know I kind of jumped through the history (especially closer in time), but I'd thought that would get too detailed and it was somewhat unnecessary, however, I can detail it if people would like. And because I have 100 000 years to fill in, you might as well give suggestions on what my character might have done in that time.

[ColonelJax]

Ate cheetos, drank beer, and watched the bewb toob. :3

Given what you've told us, I'd say its a good possibility your character might have had some interaction with Lokey. That could make for some interesting backstories.

[187]

Any thoughts on mine? I haven't finished the history yet, but the rest of the details are finished. I've been working on this character for a couple years.

[Feign]

lol "Loki! You're doing it wrong, you're not supposed to send them back safely to the planet, it is much easier to just shoot them into outer space"

[ColonelJax]

The only profile that stuck out like a soar thumb to me was Batman's Master Chief. Now I used Matt Spartan in Tabula Rasa but I like to think I did well with meshing Halo's concept with TR. Albeit, I regretted doing it and it was my first RP attempts in an MMO. So I guess this is the same case.

[Baak'Cha]

Any comments or criticisms(hopefully constructive as this is my first attempt) for my Charlie character?

[ColonelJax]

Criticism in my direction is... well not exactly welcomed but I'll listen. Doesn't mean I'll change it for you ;) To put it bluntly the telesthetic nonsense does boarder psychic probability but is answered with the ancient gene. He is peculiar and this particular factor is one the reasons why his skills as a sniper are above normal for a person his age and what divisions he made. I have a plot in the brain storming stage that will put twists to it and what not but until further info is given about the content of the game, I can't quite move forward just yet. :3

[Mist in Shadows]

I will personally defend Jax. He does an amazing job with his character, and if there is anything at all about his character that is out of the ordinary, he certainly downplays it. :)

I'm glad so far no one seems to have any issues with my character. I'm rather fond of her, and I change her for nobody! :)

[187]

Decent character Mister Misty. A bit generic, but it's offset by the trouble socially. Well done.

Once again, any thoughts on my character?

[Mist in Shadows]

Mister Misty? Did I turn into a man overnight? :: checks:: Nope, still a girl!

And believe me, Scarlet is anything but generic. I think my people will agree. :)

[187]

A bit. Not full blown.

[Sarizaddi]

Once again, any thoughts on my character?

I'm just a litle put off visualizing his red michael jackson jump-suit. Seems a little....mmm...out of place.

[187]

It's his wrestling attire. He wears it outside of wrestling because people identify it with him. Although I am thinking of changing him to a less flashy attire consisting of a black tanktop, black pants with a green design on them, and black boots. What do you think?

If you want a picture of his current attire, I can get one.

[Mist in Shadows]

Something just occurred to me. The comment about my character being generic was bugging me a bit, because I go out of my way to make characters that are NOT generic. But then it dawned on me.

Of course she seems somewhat generic to an outsider. Because most of her quirks, past and history are kept secret in my own mind because I never give out too much info in my character profiles. It is only by interacting with her that people learn the intricacies of the character, and realize she has an awful lot of depth to her personality.

So now I feel better. :) Just a little thought process in writing for you all, lol. And yes, I take my roleplay seriously. >.> I'm a writer, so I take all forms of writing I engage in seriously.

[Feign]

That would make sense though, its can be said the same for lets say situations or emotions.

Just think that your bio is your "rep" of what people know about you, around the galaxy. In some basic way anyway.

[187]

I've left out some details of my character too. You may begin noticing them as time goes on.

Still, it helps to give out a bit more details. Like I said though. Well done. I like her.

[Capt. Crunch]

Mist one and only one flaw with your bio I noticed. Your a Colonel at age 28. The earliest you could be one is 38. (This is actually why my character rank and command rank are different). Granted, captain in charge of a department would be rare aswell.

[Lycanthro]

Hey Crunchy, what age do you have to be to join the SAS?

[Capt. Crunch]

Sorry but to me SAS means side angle side for finding congruent triangles in a two column format. I'm bad with accronyms.

[Lycanthro]

The Special Air Service (SAS) is a special forces regiment within the British Army.

[Capt. Crunch]

Sorry, I don't know anything about the Brittish military except that the dress uniform is still red coats(This is not ment to be negative). Maybe Asz would know.

[Lycanthro]

Thanks mate, BTW have you seen my 2nd Char.

[Capt. Crunch]

Yeah. I have not read it thoroughly yet. I read it after I made this post. Interesting person.

I'm thinking about adding Josianor's profile to mine with a subnote on how it effects Crunch.

[Floyd]

I changed my avatar to Khonsu (a Tok'ra from one of the episodes of SG-1), as he befits my character much closer than the Ori I was using. When you think Floyda'r, picture Khonsu with long, tapered hair.

[Capt. Crunch]

I have started working on Josianor's bio. His history will take a bit because of the 9 hosts before Crunch.

Floyd, your bio states that the sarcoughagus is causing you to age quicker than normal. I believe that means faster so that you are getting older faster. I beleive the sarcouphagas can make a human live 400 years, and a Goa'uld beyond 5,000

[Floyd]

The "lack of" the sarcophagus is making me age quicker than when I had it, as it was stolen by Lycan and group ;)

[Capt. Crunch]

While I was in it. :D Ok that makes sense.

[Floyd]

Haha yea, you got lucky :P

[Capt. Crunch]

Yes I did. One thing is, if your nice to people, they are more likely to want to save you.

[NaySmithe]

Its ok floyd if you want i could randomly save you.

[Floyd]

Yes I did. One thing is, if your nice to people, they are more likely to want to save you.

So in other words: Don't get Floyda'r in a situation where he needs rescuing :lol:

[NaySmithe]

I'll save you from that cruel asgard.....

[Lycanthro]

My Asgard ears are burning (if we have ears)

[Capt. Crunch]

You have to. Otherwise, we couldn't be having a conversation. They are probably holes on the sides of the head or something like the ways seals' ears are.

[NaySmithe]

thats encouraging,,,

[ArosBok]

Realized a problem with my bio. When I said phase shifter, I was not talking like shifting to another dimension like what Merlin made. They used the same words to describe the phase shifter that shifts your light waves, like what Nirrti used as well as the Ash'rak in season 6 or 7 (I forget which).

I edited my bio to make it more clear.

[NaySmithe]

Why not say Sodan Cloak.

And we should be equal. I would technically be a commando but My char is more assassin based.

[ArosBok]

Why not say Sodan Cloak.

And we should be equal. I would technically be a commando but My char is more assassin based.

Sodan Cloak would not have been accessible to my character. Given the time frame, Nirrti was experimenting with the technology, so Ba'al likely was too. We also know of Ash'raks later using the devices.

Plus sodan cloaks have their own set of problems completely different from those of a device that was still in the experimental stage when it was acquired.

[NaySmithe]

Good point.

But i countered that with a weakness. I hope it works cuz if i get shot i go with it.

[ArosBok]

I don't see why the cloak shouldn't work, as long as you take into account the negative effects and allow for various ways of seeing through it so as to level the device.

[NaySmithe]

Yes but first i had to have an excuse to why the radiation doesnt kill me or i would be making a nice zoo on every planet i went to.

So my alien biology makes me almost immune to the radiation but zats take me down easily. And hurt when they pass close by me.

So im sensitive to electrical charges.

Good thing im not in the it was a dark and stormy night thread.

[ArosBok]

But what makes you that way?

[NaySmithe]

An odd genome.

I would need to research allot to find out what to change in my biology to make me that way without some odd things going on.

But im sure i could find something that if changed makes you heal better but also be sensitive to electricity.

But if i must come up with a on the spot explanation then i would say nanites.

[ArosBok]

Seems a bit of a stretch. I have an idea that might be just as much of a stretch, maybe not so much though. Was your character a part of SGC?

[NaySmithe]

My char is from an advanced civilization based on Japan, The other people from his world are gone or dead and he is all that is left.

But now he is with the SGC program. (in a science section.)

[ArosBok]

Sorry totally forgot your bio for a second. How long has he been with SGC

[NaySmithe]

A year.

[ArosBok]

Never mind then. My idea would only have worked if he had there for at least 4 yrs.

[NaySmithe]

What was your idea.

[ArosBok]

Four years ago, the computer entity had its way at the SGC. Episode called "Entity." If your char was working anywhere near it, it could be said that although you were not exposed to the consciousness of it, your exposure to the lifeform made you sensitive to electrical impulses. The radiation resistance is fairly easy to explain as a part of your physiology, a strange mutation of the genes or part of being alien, its easier to explain radiation resistance than electrical sensitivity.

[NaySmithe]

I could adjust my bio.

I could use the training of 4 years and that would put me at 21 years. So that when i RP on earth with my command I ca have a drink. So thanks for the help.


Ok now i have an excuse for that. I have put it into my history and am now older than Sokkar.

[Tasarau]

You mean RP, or real life? Either way, your older. ;) 15>13, 18<21. ;)

[NaySmithe]

technically im 14.

Im 15 on april 27.

[Tasarau]

still, 14>13. ;)

[ArosBok]

Raziel, I just realized a major problem with you using a sodan cloak. I am continually forgetting that the setting of this game is between seasons 8 and 9. They didn't discover the sodan cloak until part way through season 9. Considering the isolationist ways of the Sodan it is nearly impossible that you would have come across one. Even if you had, the SGC never would have allowed you to keep it. They would have taken it for studying and would have already known about it when they encountered it in season 9.

[Lisentia]

The other problem is that the entity from Entity was in complete control of its actions the entire time it was here. No chance of outside infection besides Carter =)

Even trying to claim infection from "Message in a bottle" is out too. =)

[Mobius118]

I have edited my bio, and added in the non-cannon section for the space RP. Now let the bombardment of it begin

[Mist in Shadows]

Just to clarify on my bio. Scarlet is 28 and a Colonel due to extenuating circumstances concerning her past. Mostly meaning that.... the military wanted her in command of the 28th. So they ranked her accordingly. She's a bit of a special case.

But nothing special as in over-powered or with weird powers. She is 100% human with no funky abilities. But due to her special circumstances in her past, they wanted her in a command position. So they gave her the rank needed.

[Baak'Cha]

To Lycanthro, from what I understand the SAS works very similarly to the US special forces. When you sign up for the military, you train for your MOS and afterward apply for the special forces. If your character is an officer then you have to figure in officer training to the equasion. Did you char go to college and then OCS, or did he go to a military academy?

Enlisted, I'd say around 20, for an officer around 24; but that's if it follows the American mold.



For Scarlet, if you bumped your age up to 32, Lt Colonel wouldn't be too far of a stretch, especially if your character is a woman. The military, specifically the Air Force and Navy, is making women commanders a high priority; so they tend to fast-track female potential commanders.

And a lot of times Lt Colonels can wind up in the same command positions as full birds.

[Tasarau]

its 7-8 ;)

[Lisentia]

Where's that information Sokkar? I thought it was the same time frame but everything from the devs we've been able to find only state seasons 8-9.

[Tasarau]

Last time I heard about it, it said that the game will be placed in seasons 7-8 to prevent any story interjection with the Ori, and any communication from Atlantis.

[Floyd]

Baak'Cha: I thought the SAS was hand-picked recruits, not applicants.

[ArosBok]

Last time I heard about it, it said that the game will be placed in seasons 7-8 to prevent any story interjection with the Ori, and any communication from Atlantis.

Look in the Basic Roleplay Guide in this forum. Although I am fairly sure that the game is based season 8-9, whatever the case may be this forum is based between season 8-9.

[Lycanthro]

Look in the Basic Roleplay Guide in this forum.


Im sure it is based between 8-9, well thats what I thought when I wrote that guide. :confused:

[ArosBok]

Im sure it is based between 8-9, well thats what I thought when I wrote that guide. :confused:

That wasn't directed at you. It was directed to Sokkar who thought it was between 7 and 8.

[NaySmithe]

Actually lis i would say that being infected or whatever by the entity is entirely possible.

Can you control if people smell your perfume... Because i wasn't saying i was infected as in it took over me. i was saying that i was in close proximity.

That and it was in carter when she was shot with a zat and that had to do something weird to it...

[Tasarau]

That wasn't directed at you. It was directed to Sokkar who thought it was between 7 and 8.

the main reason I thought that was because if we were in seasons 8-9, the Ori would be in the game, and they aren't. The Goa'uld would not have more than 4-5 followers, so the loyal jaffa would not have been in the game either, unless they were NPCs. I understand that we set the RPA to be in seasons 8-9, but in game, i believe, is 7-8:)

[NaySmithe]

And I can take out the cloak.

[ArosBok]

I understand that we set the RPA to be in seasons 8-9, but in game, i believe, is 7-8:)

Nope, in game is in between 8-9. That is the main idea for the New Mind Goa'uld. Since their old way didn't work, they have a new way of doing things. The Ori don't come about until season 9 so they do not exist in the time between seasons 8 and 9. We really do not have much info about what happens between the time they would have left for Egypt and the time Mitchell arrives, so it makes for a great place to put the story.

[Tasarau]

alright, i was just throwing up what i thought at the time. Thanks, Bok. :D

[Lisentia]

That and it was in carter when she was shot with a zat and that had to do something weird to it...

Yah, it died. So exactly when was your character standing next to Carter, or in the MALP room? and what scene can we see your character in? =)

[Mobius118]

What about when the entity was leaving Carter's body (just before they shoot her with the zat)
Cheyenne Mountain's halls are lined with conduits for conductive cables...so it is possible that his character would have had proximity due to the entity releasing the lightning bolts into the walls...although, for that to be possible, a startling number of coincidences would have had to occurred...

also, off-screen in the isolation room*/the infirmary are possibilities for proximity...although once again, a lot of coincidences...

*A very startling number of coincidences...

[Baak'Cha]

Well Floyd, to be brutally honest, I don't know all that much about Britain's method of procuring super troopers. It was more or less speculating since Western Europe and America tend to a bunch o' similarities in their respective armed forces.

Shows great restraint in not making smart-*** remarks about a country between Spain and Germany.....

Whew! That hurt!

[Lisentia]

although, for that to be possible, a startling number of coincidences would have had to occurred...

*A very startling number of coincidences...

What Mobius said. =D

and the released energy was actually Carter's consciousness, not the entities =)

[NaySmithe]

The thing shot energy into the roof and walls.

I could have been touching a wire or standing in the next room.

There are allot of ways i dont haft to be in the show to have anything to do with it.

[Mobius118]

Well, it is also possible that Raziel's character got struck my an abnormally powerful lightning bolt, which on some alien planets isn't so abnormally powerful, and lived...but once again, coincidences (is it bad that we are trying to get rid of a character's weakness?)

also, I'm one to talk with my over active brain... lol

[NaySmithe]

Is it a weakness????

[Mobius118]

If you are that susceptible/sensitive to electric forces, you're character could be pushed into a coma by a single zat shot, if not killed...even traveling through the stargate could prove deadly to you

[NaySmithe]

I didnt say i was mortally sensitive....

Im saying a shot by a zat that goes even to close would put me down.

On the bright side i wouldn't walk into a forcefield on accident....

[Mobius118]

well, at least your brain functions won't kill you...yet

as for the force field thing...useful i guess...and the ability would be great at detecting replicators..or Repli-Carters...

[ArosBok]

If you are going to keep the sensitivity thing, I think you will need to come up with a very convincing story that is extremely specific. You cannot just say that x happened therefore you are y. It makes more sense to say that while you were doing a, b happened elsewhere, which caused c to happen...and then i became y. There needs to be a detailed process for anything that is as abnormal as what you are describing.

[NaySmithe]

Ya or i could tell when someone's cloaked.

But then i would be jumpy and would be easily given away....

But think of what a staff weapon shot would do to me....

[Baak'Cha]

Here you go Raziel....

It's called EMF, and you don't need alien interaction to get it...

A multiphase study was performed to find an effective method to evaluate electromagnetic field (EMF) sensitivity of patients. The first phase developed criteria for controlled testing using an environment low in chemical, particulate, and EMF pollution. Monitoring devices were used in an effort to ensure that extraneous EMF would not interfere with the tests. A second phase involved a single-blind challenge of 100 patients who complained of EMF sensitivity to a series of fields ranging from 0 to 5 MHz in frequency, plus 5 blank challenges. Twenty-five patients were found who were sensitive to the fields, but did not react to the blanks. These were compared in the third phase to 25 healthy naive volunteer controls. None of the volunteers reacted to any challenge, active or blank, but 16 of the EMF-sensitive patients (64%) had positive signs and symptoms scores, plus autonomic nervous system changes. In the fourth phase, the 16 EMF-sensitive patients wer rechallengd twice to the frequencies to which they were most sensitive during the previous challenge. The active frequency was found to be positive in 100% of the challenges, while all of the placebo tests were negative. We concluded that this study gives strong evidence that electromagnetic field sensitivity exists, and can be elicited under environmentally controlled conditions.

Symptoms


Nervous system symptoms (e.g. fatigue, stress, sleep disturbances)
Skin symptoms (e.g. facial *****ling, burning sensations, rashes)
Various body symptoms (e.g. pain and ache in muscles)
Eye symptoms (e.g. burning sensations).
Various less common symptoms, including ear, nose, and throat symptoms, digestive disorders....aka diarrhea.The only real prerequisite you would need if you wanted this is for you to have been born and raised in a highly urbanized area, and looking at your bio, it appears you are from a bit of a rural area.

[NaySmithe]

Umm.....

I think i will stick with my explanation.

I dont need that big of a weakness.

[ArosBok]

Baak'Cha's explanation is a good one. It makes sense and requires no special circumstances. Your explanation is not entirely fleshed out and quite a stretch.

[NaySmithe]

Forget that.

I dont even need to have the sensitivity if im getting rid of the Sodan cloak.

Oh well.

[Baak'Cha]

How do you paste a picture onto your character profile without having to link it to another website?

[NaySmithe]

I dont think that there is a way.

But if you just have a pic then make a photo bucket.

[Baak'Cha]

I mean for our role-playing profiles....I see people that have put pictures in their character description.

[Lisentia]

those are outside links Baak'cha, just quote them and you'll see the html code for the location of the image

[Baak'Cha]

I tried what you said Lis, but on most of them it says "IMG removed, something something", and on others it will say "(see: http etc.)"

I tried typing (see: info) and it won't work. I tried clicking the little icons to make it html and other ones. Nothing is happening. :(

In case it isn't obvious, I don't have a clue how to do this stuff.

Baak'Cha = hapless

[Lisentia]

this is the code http link where image is

so it ends up showing:
http://www.freewebs.com/naturalpampering/Hathor.jpg

[ColonelJax]

What Lis said, html 101 :P

Baak'Cha: I thought the SAS was hand-picked recruits, not applicants.

I always compared the SAS to SEALs. You could apply but the odds are very low.

[Baak'Cha]

/cry

still no worky. It just shows the link, not the image. I'm being haxxord!

[Lisentia]

Post the link for us to help ya

[NaySmithe]

Or you could just have the link.

If you look at mine then you could do like that with the description then the link.

[Baak'Cha]

That's the link to the picture I want on my character's profile

As for the SAS, I honestly have no idea, I was just guessing off what I thought was true :lol:

[Baak'Cha]

*sigh*
I don't guess the problem could be firefox, could it?

[ColonelJax]

*sigh*
I don't guess the problem could be firefox, could it?

Shouldn't be.

image should be the exact format. I don't see why Firefox would be neglecting it if you can see other pictures.

Baa, put what you're typing in quote brackets. Show us exactly what you're typing.


EDIT: Weird. I don't know why the image would be giving such trouble. Lis was apparently table to do it.

[ArosBok]

Ma'ahes, I hate to start finding fault with your bio so soon after you've put it up, but I have to take issue with your weapon/suite. It is extremely contrary to cannon. Nothing like it has existed. It'd be nice if you could point us to something that might suggest that this could exist within the Stargate universe.

[Baak'Cha]

Here ya go,

[Baak'Cha]

I guess it's my turn to poke at somebody's profile. Today's winner is 187.....
Nothing too critical, but as a Texan, I'm feeling confusion as to how Jason could wind up with such an interesting blend of nationalities. The Mexican and German I can completely understand since Texas has such a large number of those two. However, the Aussie, Arabic and Russian have me perplexed. If he was born in '60, I'm curious how the Australian, German and Russian got in there. And Texas isn't very well known for its Middle-Eastern communities, especially around Victoria. Once you get down there it's primarily us hillbilly folk and Hispanic. Not that I'm against hillbillies, we can be a very entertaining people.

[ColonelJax]

Still it's a hilarious mod for Tanks on Left 4 Dead. xD


Added a second character to mine. Will take some work and it'll probably be a long while before I flesh out an actual background for him. He's going to become my Praxis character and hopefully a diabolical one at that if/when I get a hold of Baal's canon -clasps hands together and chuckles softly, twiddling his fingers- Yes, yes... good. Excellent.

[Floyd]

supakillaii: I discussed with Lis your character's constant interaction with the Asgard, and it came to light that there was never, ever a Tau'ri even mentioned to be with the Asgard that long, and there's no way they would let you just chill out on their planet and give you access to all their database. They MIGHT have let an SG-1 member, but definitely not a random Tau'ri.

My opinion. I'm sure Lis will post hers.

[Lisentia]

Floyd pretty much stole my concern for your bio. Everything else seems pretty good for a starting character, nothing over-powered on purpose. I just think you should work on your history a bit more. You could change it up to be from one of the protected planets, that the replicators ravaged and they kept you somewhere for a few days while they figured out where to relocate you.

But under no circumstances was any human exposed to uncontrolled access to Asgard technology. Even the episode with Thor "dying" he had already programmed the ships computer to respond to Carter, she never had totally free access to the database on the ship.

[Floyd]

Floyd pretty much stole my concern for your bio.

Yes, I suppose I did. My apologies; hats off to Lis for that one, I was a mere conduit :D

[supakillaii]

Sorry, just saw this thread. Umm... ow. Oh well, I guess I can figure something out... I hope...

[Floyd]

We in no means are trying to "bash" your creativity or anything, we just want to keep everyone's bios to canon, as some threads will require canon bios (such as any Sari, Lis, or I make; I don't know about the others). Do you want help with your bio at all? We're always willing to give advice.

[Mobius118]

Or you could do what I did, and add in a Non-Cannon Section to your bio...that will be disregarded for some threads

[Feign]

As also, we all have to make comprimises and sacrifices ;)

[supakillaii]

Any better? It's uhh... it... well... I'll wait for bashe- err constructive criticism.

[Lisentia]

I'm always curious why someone can't just choose to be a human from Earth. Also, you can't be both an archaeologist *and* a scientist. There was never any cloned humans because they all died violent deaths of cellular degradation, see SG1 episode with younger version of O'Neill.

[supakillaii]

I have a reason, I'll try to put it in words... "I want to be a human, who is with the Asgard." Well, it's blunt and can lead to mis-understanding.
Edit: Those are the words I made up for my reason in 6 minutes

[Lisentia]

Oh I completely understand what you are trying to accomplish. I'm just trying to point a few things out to you, like the majority of us make sure we keep very close to the stuff that we know about the game, and how races and classes will interact in it. If there is no definitive answer in the SGW wiki, we look to the episodes up to season 8 to see what is or is not possible.

I hope the above information helps you. The only Asgard you'll be able to interact with will be the game Asgard with no ships and only a drone (or two) that they use.

[supakillaii]

For fun: Do you have to have an allegiance?

[Lisentia]

since you have to choose one of the two factions to play SGW, I'd tend to want to answer that as a yes =D

[ArosBok]

Do you want to have worked with the specifically the Asgard, or do you simply want to have worked with an advanced race?

[Lisentia]

Okay, I want to point out an absolute *EXCELLENT* example of how to blend plausibility with non-canon.

Everyone please read the last sentence of Rgollum's history.

End of lesson =P

[ColonelJax]

Also, you can't be both an archaeologist *and* a scientist.

Well it doesn't mean your character can't have some knowledge in both fields.


Allegiances will be put in stone for the game but I don't see an issue with someone "pretending" to be bad when they're good or good when they're intents are actually devious.

[Feign]

Hmmm perhaps like University, you could "major" in archeology, and "minor" in sciences?

For that matter, to become an archeologist, you do need a Bachelor of science (I think), so you would have learned some things over time.

[Lisentia]

While I agree, I think the idea I'd like to express is that we never saw Daniel trying to re-wire a DHD, or Carter trying to decipher a tablet.

[187]

Daniel and Carter both specialized in their respective subjects.

[Lisentia]

Yes dear, but I think you understood that I was trying to say: I think it's powergaming if an archaeologist tried to do scientist things and vice versa =)

[187]

I disagree. I think that an archaeologist and a scientist should be allowed to do so, to a certain extent. You wouldn't expect an archaeologist to invent a new nuke, but they may be able to lend a hand in a pinch. The inverse also works. A scientist may not be able to translate a tablet by themselves, but they could have a basic understanding of the history and language and therefore render assistance.

[Lisentia]

If this were free form, you'd be absolutely right =D It's not.

[supakillaii]

Any better now? :3

[187]

If this were free form, you'd be absolutely right =D It's not.

It's entirely possible to have basic skills in one area while specializing in another area in the context of the game. Look at the Wikipedia article.

[Baak'Cha]

The problem with trying to have the two cross paths is that they're two different types of majors. Archaeology is arts, Scientist is, you guessed it, science. While both require things like algebra, some random science course and some random history course, there really aren't enough parallels for one to be much use to the other.

[ColonelJax]

For RP purposes I don't give a crap. Used to RP all the time in CoX with a character who had a tail that could swish despite the fact that the game didn't support those sort of images. So as long as it's done neatly in RP, I don't see a problem with it.

[distantlurker]

While both require things like algebra, some random science course and some random history course, there really aren't enough parallels for one to be much use to the other.

eh? surely this is the very definition of a polymath. I mean fair enough, it's not like you get too many of these folks in modern times but then those we *do* would be precisely the kind of folks the SG program was looking for.

errr. IMHO :D Soz. Sometimes start typing my mouth off before I think. Just ignore that whole rant :rolleyes:

[NaySmithe]

While I agree with Baak'cha that they are very different.

What if as a teen I worked as an electrician and then when I got enough money I went and took a degree in arts (archeologist)

I think that there is definitely allowance in that. Everybody also takes biology and stuff like that in highschool and such no matter though and therefor could remember something from them and have basic knowledge of stuff..

[Sarizaddi]

The disagreement is simply thus:

You CAN have skills in both, you CAN'T have expertise in both.

Being a doctorate in archeology means tons and tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of reading and study. Every time we saw Daniel in his "off time" he was studying an aritfact or reading a history book. Daniel was just as capable of anything you and I might do like installing a ceiling fan or fixing the dishwasher...but he simply didn't have time to learn how to build a ring transporter because instead of studying technical science, he spent his time learning more history.

Vice Versa, being an doctorate in Engineering and Science you would invest tons and tons and tons and tons and tons of time studying theoretical physics and experimenting and reading science books. Every time we saw Carter in her "off time" she was reverse engineering a naquadah generator or an ancient radiation capsule or whatever. She's just as capable of translating an ancient tablet if she had a Ancient to English dictionary...but she isn't going to pick up a relic from offworld and say "hey, this sculpture is indicative of the same art patterns of the Quahali Tribes of South Africa". She wouldn't know that because she spent her time reading about things like mixing compounds to make rocket fuel instead.

No one is saying that you can't do both things to some degree. We are saying that you can't be an expert of both, because they require too much study and experimentation in entirely different schools of thought. People just don't have enough time in the day to do both, at least not to any competent degree. If you actively studied both, you would only ever become mediocre at best in either field. Certainly you would not have any level of competency that would have made you stand out for the Stargate Program.

Last, let me say this: We are not telling anyone that they can't know both. We are trying to say that you need to understand that there are limitations to your characters. Remember above all else that your characters are human, not superhuman. You can be the greatest man or woman on earth, but you are still only human. Understand that your characters have the same limitations. A character is a person that is not you, but your characters are still only human all the same.

And the same applies to a jaffa or goa'uld. We try to stay fairly human because we are only human. We truly can not know what it is like to be a goa'uld. For all we know, goa'uld have a whiny pitchy scream in their heads like a demon constantly telling them to be evil. That would suck. I don't even know if I could role-play that...

...so I don't even try. I just play my goa'uld character like a human in a goa'uld's body. That's all I know how to do, so that's the limit of my character. So even as a goa'uld, the character I created is "only human".

My character that was infested with the little snake got rid of it too quickly to really get a chance to peak at the memories....I didn't get into it in my bio, but here's the story.


Charlie was screwing around on a world she didn't belong, got into a tussle with a Goa'uld and fatally wounded the host. The snake was in bad shape, and jumped Charlie. She was able to maintain control long enough to get to.....**** what's the name of the world with Thor's Hammer? Anyway, she went there and ridded herself of the infestation. Since I've never seen how long a host had to have a snakoid inside them before they get knowledge of ribbon devices and shizzy like that, I just gave her passing knowlede of the crap. She can make with the Force Push, but it isn't very strong, she can use the healing device, but if she were to use it on somebody that is on the threshold of death, they're screwed.

I was trying to avoid her becoming a God character, but I wanted to toss a little personalization into the mix.

[Brook]

ok wanted to ask same thing before I make my bio


can you have a character that comes back to the past from the future. Yet, the character doesn't know what has happened (or will happen)?

I wouldn't say that would be god modding....but wanted to check

[187]

Nope.

[ArosBok]

I am tempted to argue for accepting it if it done correctly, but then I have to realize all of the problems that could occur as a result of his history. Everything that we have seen shows us that people who come from the future, even if they don't try to affect anything (which is what would be the case of not knowing anything) have the possibility of causing a whole multitude of problems and paradoxes. I love the idea and would otherwise argue for it if you could make it cannon, but I don't think it will be practical.

[Lisentia]

If anything I would accept an alternate universe aka quantum mirror where some things were slightly different, but the actual character would have to be an SGW character.

[Sarizaddi]

A dead SGC character...because if you the person isn't dead then you'll get quantum paradoxes from prolonged existence on the same plane.

[Baak'Cha]

From an alternate future with amnesia....ftw

[ColonelJax]

I still think for RP purposes it's ok for a scientist to have knowledge with medicine. In game this could be best explained as three people: one wounded and down, one doctor, one scientist. The scientist of course aids and tells the doctor helpful hints and tips despite the doctor doing the work. Unlike where you have the Carter and O'niell relationship where one has no clue what the other is saying. xD

In Matt's case, while he'll be a soldier/commando; he will have knowledge in hacking even though I don't think hacking will be an available trait for the character on the mechanics of the game-level.

[Floyd]

RE: The time travel character.

I say no, because of the effects it can and will have on the future.


If anything I would accept an alternate universe aka quantum mirror where some things were slightly different, but the actual character would have to be an SGW character.
