SCRA|CPW-Havana | Osiris Battleship

[bluntpencil2001]

1. How long has the character existed on the server in its current form? Since January 2008, although the ship itself is much older.

2. What is the color of the combination of ID and faction group in the Technology use chart for your request? Either White or Red, depending on how you read it. However, regardless of how you read it, the info on that sheet is outdated.

3. What is the exact existing name on the server / future name on the server for the request (if different)? The exact name is SCRA|CPW-Havana

4. What is the character's existing faction affiliation, Tag, and ID / requested faction affiliation, Tag, and ID? Faction is SCRA, with Coalition tag and ID.

5. Existing ship used / requested ship: Osiris.

6. Weapons used / requested weapons: Not sure. Haven't tested loadouts since I didn't want to fly it without permission recently.

7. Existing zone of operation / requested zone of operation: Mostly defensive in the Omegas. Possible restricted movement in Rheinland or Bretonia, but this is less important. Defending the home front seems its main job.

8. Current activities of the character / intended activities after the request (i.e. : piracy, law enforcement, etc) Which characters, IDs, or factions will be targeted as special enemies by the character? Generally it will defend against non-Corsair foes of the Coalition in the area, such as the Wilde, since the vessel's Captain agreed not to hunt down Corsairs with it when it defected.

9. Provide links to threads in the role-playing forum relevant to the character. If the link is to a post, provide the number of the post in the relevant thread. NO fiction should be posted in your application. It must all be posted in the role-playing forum prior to your request and links provided here.

The Defection http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...c=10254&hl=
Example of its use http://discoverygc.com/forums/index.php?sh...c=13688&hl=

The ship used to be the TBH ship the Velasco, until it defected to the Coalition.

10. Explain how the character's storyline cannot proceed without this request.

The character can continue without it. The ship and its crew, however, are characters of their own, with their own history, and defected to the Coalition in a high-profile coup.

11. Explain how the specific elements of the request will create progress in the character's storyline.

Most of the progress has already been made in-game, or in the existing threads (Mostly in-game).

12. Explain the next best alternatives available to the character without this request and why they are insufficient. In other words, what alternative ships or weapons could the character use in its storyline that would not require this request, and why are they not the best choice for the character's story?

The character, Comandante Ares, has fighters at his disposal, however, he has a responsibility to command this vessel. Its crew, being Corsair defectors, like himself, need him to command them.

13. Is the requested setup permanent or temporary? If permanent, explain why it should not be temporary. If temporary, explain how, why, and when it will end.

Permanent. Because it's a long term roleplay story et cetera.

14. How will this request benefit and/or harm the role-playing of other characters and factions that this character will interact with?

It benefits the Coalition because it shows that they've made extreme efforts to draw recruits to their cause. I don't think it harms anyone.

15. What are the relevant diplomatic relationships of the character?

As SCRA, although it is less likely to fire on Corsairs, and tends to avoid unnecessary combat with them.

16. What server events involving other characters or factions will be used or have been used to gain access to the requested technology? What hostile opposition is/was involved? Under what conditions can the character be prevented from acquiring the requested technology due to the event?

Well, it's already been done, but it took some extreme convincing of the ship's original Captain (Elder Joe Costello) to abandon the Corsairs for the Coalition. Costello eventually retired, returning to Crete, leaving Ares the Havana with some conditions. This all took a lot of doing, one wrong word could have had it firing on us aplenty.

17. What does the character risk or sacrifice to acquire the requested technology?

I'm not sure, to be honest.

18. Provide any other relevant information about the character that may impact the request.

Can't think of any off-hand. I guess I could recommend speaking to some of the older TBH members that might remember the Velasco, such as majkp or McNeo.
