I had barely been out of the academy a yarhen when the colonies were attacked and destroyed. I had managed to be one of a few viper pilots to survive.
My group and I were on a training mission when we received the news that the colony was under attack. We managed to make it back in time to watch all our friends aboard the Atlantia get blown up. We didn’t have time to mourn because the Cylon Raiders were on our tails.
I eventually ended up on the Callisto where I worked my tail end off to get promoted to Captain and where I continue to serve.

Name:Kaneli Current Rank:Ensign Assignment:Black Squadron Battlestar Callisto Age-34 yahrens
I was 8 yahrens old when the Cylons destroyed the Colonies. I was on Sagitara my home planet. My brothers and I were with my mother in our home city of Akalon. We were joining in the celebration of the peace armistice. My grandmother found me wandering the road that lead to her agro house. My uncle helped my grandmother and I get aboard a transport and the three of us made it to safety. My father was a Colonial Warrior and was killed aboard the Battlestar Triton. My mother and brothers were never seen again. My uncle became my surrogate father and was killed in a Cylon battle when I was 18 yahrens old. My grandmother died two yahren ago and now I have become a loner, someone who has a score to settle and those Cylons are going to pay for what they did to the Colonies. My Uncle raised me to be a warrior and my grandmother taught me about our rich family heritage and the way of the Lords of Kobol. With the help from their training I will bring my families revenge upon the Cylons! I want to make a difference in Black Suadron. If Major JustinB will just give me the opportunity that I need. Everyone will see my skills and talents , they will all see how much I can help the fleet.

Post by Skyler on Jan 22, 2006 20:30:22 GMT -6
Name: Skyler Current Rank: Major Age: Approximately 42 yahrens Assignment: Commanding Gold Squadron, Strike Commander Battlestar Callisto Primary MOS: Viper Pilot Secondary MOS: Infantry Special Operations cross-trained Armor Previous Unit Assignments: 25th Colonial Light Infantry 5th Rapid Deployment Force, 1st Special Operations Force: Airborne, 3rd Armor Division
Awards: Bronze Cluster, Good Conduct Awards, Colonial Service Award, Joint Service Award, Legion of Arms Award, Meritorious Unit Award, and Colonial Valor Award, Purple Cluster with four bronze stars for wounds in action.
Qualified: Expert Marksman with M-21 Blaster Pistol and M-14A2 Blaster Rifle and Tylium Grenades, Viper Pilot, Shuttle Pilot, Land Ram Operator, Armored Land Ram Operator, Airborne
Skyler was born on Caprica. His father was a highly decorated Colonial Warrior, but after a severe injury forced him to retire, he found his place as a ranking officer in the Caprician Militia Forces. His mother was a teacher. They wanted more for their son than the life of a Warrior, so they hid his fathers past from him. All that changed the night the Cylons attacked, it was close to Skyler's 10th nova-yarhen. His father manned his post until the end; his sacrifice enabled thousands to flee to safety, including Skyler and his mother Harvina. His new home was an over crowded freighter, converted to haul passengers. No comforts here. His mother and the visits by Warriors looking for solenite leaks were the only bright spots in his life. Several Yahrens into the voyage his mother died from eating poluton contaminated food.
A new chapter in Skyler’s life opened up. He was accepted into the Warrior’s Academy they had opened on the Galactica, even though he was a yarhen or two shy of the minimum age requirements. Things were different now; the rules were down the turbo flush. He graduated in the top five percent of his class, but many had answered the call to be a Warrior. They had more Warriors now than Vipers; most of the grads were being assigned to duties on the bridge, engineering even shuttle pilots. Skyler wanted none of that; he was here to defend the Fleet, to make the Cylons pay for the hurt they had caused and he wanted to do it with a weapon, not a computer console.. He talked it over with a girl he had met on leave from the Academy, Kellie, and she agreed, he volunteered for the Infantry. Being in the Infantry wasn’t easy in the least; in fact the hardest day of Pilot training wasn’t as hard as the easiest day in the Infantry Basic. Again, Skyler was in the top five percent, the upper part and was assigned to a Light Infantry Unit Rapid Deployment Force. Proving himself in the RDF he was selected for the Special Operations Units. He was promoted to Corporal and given command of a fire team. While the Fleet had stopped for supplies they found a Cylon listening post. The Battlestar's jammed the radio signals, but the base had to be taken out before they could leave the system or risk being found. Not knowing if there were any Basestar's in the area, Apollo elected to send in ground forces and to keep the Vipers in reserve. Faulty intelligence placed Skyler’s Spec Op unit in the heat of battle, out gunned and outnumbered. When the day was over seven of Skyler’s twelve man team were dead, the rest wounded, but the outpost was destroyed and the Fleet safe. Three awards were handed out afterwards, the team medic received the Gold Cluster, Sgt Thom the Silver Cluster and Cpl Skyler the Bronze Cluster. Of the three, Skyler was the only on to survive the battle. After recovering from his wounds Skyler crossed trained with Armored Land Rams. He was promoted to Sgt and assigned as a Ram Commander for one of the Heavy LR-1A3’s. During all of this, Skyler maintained his flight status, flying Patrols or whatever, just to be in the cockpit of a Viper. From time to time he got to mix it up with a few Raiders, earning him valuable Daggit fight experience. It was during this time that Skyler and Kellie decided to take the seal. They were in the process of setting a date for the event when Skyler was selected for a patrol after the regular pilot came down ill. While on this Deep Space Patrol, the Fleet was hit by a flight of Raiders; one got through and hit the ship Kellie was living on. It was said she never knew what had happen, that it was instant. It brought Skyler little comfort, it only added to the burning hate in him. It is here that he almost ended his career when he turned to drinking. It was only after one of his father’s old friends, an Infantry Sgt named Zeke pulled him out of his downward spiral. He helped him clean up his act and return to duty, all the while keeping it out of his record, somehow. Not long afterwards the Callisto showed up and Skyler was selected to be a Full Warrior in one of the new Squadrons, Gold Squadron, under the command of a Captain Charybdis. Zeke walked him to the shuttle, and saluted the newly promoted Ensign as he departed for the Callisto. Zeke would one day return to Skyler’s life when he shows up in the Infantry assigned to the Callisto.
Skyler worked hard and maintained one of the best records on the Callisto. He volunteered for every assignment that came though. His promotion to Lt. came in the sectons that followed. He was selected for a mission right after the election of Captain Brie to Squadron CO. to escort a shuttle to board a derelict ship, possible Colonial. The mission was a disaster and Sklyer was the sole survivor. Limping a critically damaged Viper back to the Callisto and performing what could only be called a controlled crash. (Recently a second survivor was found, Lt Astraea.) Several yarhens passed and Skyler received his promotion to Captain, and the position of Second in Command of Gold Squadron. Skyler fell in love again or so he thought, for a brief time with Mara Jade, a Lt also assigned to Gold Squadron, but it didn’t work out, Skyler holds secret feelings for another that due to his position in the squadron, he isn’t allowed to feel. Mara Jade called the relationship off and headed off to an assignment on the CQ. Skyler has remained as SIC, assuming the duties of Officer in Charge (OIC) of Gold Squadron and a brief promotion to Major when Major Brie went on a secret mission and later was presumed dead. A promotion he gladly gave up when Brie returned.
Skyler was promoted to Major and assumed the duties of Commanding Officer, Gold Squadron and Strike Commander for the Battlestar Callisto upon the retirement of Major Brie from the post. Any celebration was short lived as shortly afterwards, Major Brie; ret. was lost when a faulty fuel line caused her Viper to explode. The wreckage was recovered, but no body was found, so Skyler did not truly accepted the decision of Core Command to classify Brie as dead.
Skyler still volunteers for every mission down the pipe.

Name : Darin Karis. Origin : Scorpius Age : 18 Sex : Male Hair Black Eyes Blue Ht : 5'9" Wt : 178 lbs.
I was born on a world who's real name I never knew. My parents, friends, and even my teachers, reffered to it always as Cain's World.
My father, Darian Karis, was a pilot in the Silver Spar Squadron, and my mother was a Repair Tech. After the supposed loss of the Galactica over Gamoray, as Commander Cain drove the Battlestar Pegasus ever farther from Colonial Space, they came to know one another, and developed a healthy respect for each others skills and intelligence. While thier eventual Sealing was never based on love, it was based on respect, and the vision that, with only a few civilian vessels having been found by Cain, the Human Race would need to propagate, and that offspring of intelligent mates would prosper far better than children born to mates that were ill-suited.
I was raised with the full knowledge of what had happened to our home systems, and the threat that the Cylons emboddied. At the age of seven, I entered into training to become a Colonial Warrior, as both my father and mother had done.
Before I completed my training, the Battlestar Galactica reappeared. WHen the Callisto was launched and joined the Galactica on her quest, I was one of very few Trainees who volenteered, and was accepted, to continue my training on board Callisto as she fled through the heveans alongside Galactica.

(Okay, I'm not very good at profiles, so I hope I do this okay)
Ensign Missygoat's profile:
Age: Approx. 40 Yahrens Appearance: Long brown hair and brown eyes Height: 5 foot 2
Background:
Some people might describe me as a bit of a pushover. At least I was when I was first recruited. But serving under Captain Lazant has helped shapen me up over the course of my training. But when it comes to flying a Viper, I have exellent reflexes, and I rarely miss a Cylon vessel. Well, at least not in the simulations anyway; I haven't had much experience in actual battle yet.
I was born on Capricus, in the middle of the city, but my family and I moved out into the country when I was 7. We lived there right up until the day the Cylons attacked, when everything we had was destroyed. Our land, our farm--everything. We just grabbed whatever we could carry, and made a run for it. We were lucky enough to get transportation off the planet's surface.
My mother is a nurse, so her services were invaluable as everyone began to adapt to their new life in space. As everyone knows, when several different peoples get thrown together, it's rather easy for foreign germs to spread. What was a natural cold to a Gemini nearly killed me, but I pulled through. That had to be the worst experience of my life. I lost my home and nearly died all in the same week.
My father is an engineer, and a mechanic, and his services were invaluable as well. If it weren't for him, that old rust-bucket of a freighter we were in would have fallen apart. My parents are wonderful people, and even though we have had our differences, I know that they are always willing to lend a hand whenever they can.
I've always had a crush on Captain Apollo, and that is the main reason why I decided to try and become a Viper pilot. I wanted to be just like him. It's turned out to be a lot harder than I thought, but I chose to stick with it, and pursue my dream. And I am making excellent progress.
I'm not a very violent person, although I do participate in sparring matches to keep in shape, and so I can defend myself if need be. However I have absolutely no problem with blowing Cylons out of the sky. They're not people anyway.
I'm a bit of a loner. I prefer to keep to myself, but I have no problem working with others, and being part of the team. My idea of a relaxing evening is listening to music, or reading a good book.

NAME: PERSEPHONE AGE: 33 YAHRENS
ASSIGNMENT DATA CURRENT LOCATION : BATTTLESTAR CALLISTO CURRENT POSITION: GOLD SQUADRON- FLIGHT CADET CURRENT RANK: ENSIGN
BIRTH COLONY: PISCON TRIBE: PISCONESE BIRTH PLACE: NEREUS CITY( SECOND MAJOR CAPITAL, AFTER PISCON CITY)
PARENTS: THADIUS AND CARINA OF LUNA POND, NEREUS. SIBLINGS: GANYMEDE ( BROTHER), MIRANDA (SISTER).
CLOSE RELATIVES: AUNT IRIS ( CARINA'S SISTER) *HUSBAND DECEASED BEFORE ANNIHILATION OF THE COLONIES. AND THEIR DAUGHTER, COUSIN IO.
UNCLE AEOLUS (THADIUS' BROTHER), AND HIS WIFE, AUNT DIANA AND THEIR SON, COUSIN ANTARES.
BACKGROUND
Persephone was born on Piscon, in Nereus City. She lived with her family at Luna Pond, just ten metrons by Hover mobile, from the CBD of Nereus City. It was a country estate suburb surrounded by forest and a picturesque lake. Many Nereusians had country villas there, and many preferred to reside outside the city, as Persephone's clan did.
The crisp, clear country nights were perfect for star gazing, as the stray lights from the city didn't interfere with the natural magnitude of sky objects.
Persephone's elder brother, Ganymede, loved take his little sister with him to dabble behind their celestialscope, on clear nights, usually at the secton's end, as they could stay up later than on a school or work night. Together they would observe Piscon's moons, stars, nebulae, and distant star systems(galaxies). Sometimes they would even see a Battlestar in view, in a nearby quadrant with vipers being launched for routine patrols. They would wonder what it was like to be a colonial warrior and fly a viper. They would gaze in awe at them.
Often on School vacations, cousin Io would come from Piscon city with her mother, Aunt Iris, to stay with Persephone's family. Ganymede, Io and herself would troop out together with their celestialscope, to their favourite spot, in a clearing near Luna Pond( which was really a lake) and star gaze until very late. Persephone always remembered those times of her youth most fondly and dearly.
Only on rare occasions, did her elder sister Miranda join them in star gazing, making their time together even more special. Miranda and Persephone got along, but didn't spend as much time in each other's company as Persephone would have liked. Miranda always seemed to be busy withe her studies or her friends. But Io, filled the gap of sisterhood and friendship that Miranda failed to offer Persephone. The two cousins were best of friends from childhood, to the time of the destruction of their home world.
She attended only the first semester of her first yahren (due to the destruction of the colonies)at "Lord Poseidon Elementary ", together with her other cousin, Antares, from her father's side of the family.
Her brother Ganymede, 17 yahrens senior to Persephone ( often, affectionately shortened to Gany), graduated from an Electonics College and eventually came to work as an electronic designer, for a electronic device company called "Piscium Pulsars", for one yahren in Piscon City before the fall of the colonies.
Miranda 14 yahrens elder to Persephone, stayed in Nereus furthering her studies at the Asclepius Academy, for Med. Techs.
The day of the Armistice, Persephone was preparing to travel with her parents to Piscon City, from Nereus on a domestic skybus, to visit her brother Ganymede for a couple of sectons.
Ganymede was at the time, due to return from Caprica after attending an electronics convention and workshops, and would join his parents and sister upon their arrival in Piscon city.
Miranda was at the time, taking exams at the Asclepius Academy, at Nereus.
Her Aunt Iris and her cousin, Io, were taking a couple of secton's vacation on a Starliner cruise, touring the inner colonies.
Then the cylon raiders began their attacks.
Just as Persephone and her parents arrived at the skybus terminal to board, the attacks came. Her mother had just stepped over to the vendor to buy a fruit juice for Persephone, while her father stayed with her. Laser fire blasted over the terminal, her mother, Carina was hit and struck to her death suddenly. Persephone's father ran to his wife, temporarily letting go of his daughter for a centon, but he too was killed by another laser blast from above in the sky. People were running everywhere, her skybus was ready waiting for passengers to embark, her parents were now dead...things were becoming catastrophic, as buidlings were blasted at, and lazors were firing all around. Persephone never felt so paniced and shocked in her life. What could she do? She began to cry. A kind and sympathetic couple took her by the hand hand and lead her onto the skybus, before the next raid came. The pilot was urging to take off and escape the planet. Persephone had no choice, though her stomach churned and tightened, not wanting to leave her parents.
Someone suddenly shouted to the pilot that they had heard many domestic skybuses were attacked and thousands of people were killed in all cities from Piscon city to the towns of Maren, Asera, Hyrax, and now the cylons attacked Nereus without mercy . Whoever he was, he ordered the pilot to launch with as many people he could carry. Persephone now on the Skybus, with her quickly adopted guardians and took a seat, with her small luggage bag. Tears began to roll down her cheeks as the vessel launched in a hurry. To where, she didn't know, as transmissions came over the pilot's com line, that Piscon and many of the other colonies had also been attacked. There was no safe place to go.
It was nearly four centares after the holocaust, and somehow the pilot managed to elude any cylons detecting the skybus, as he maneuvered it with precise decision making, around and behind many of the colonies' uninhabited moons.
By this time, a distinguished lady onboard the skybus in first class, approached the couple who had temporarily adopted Persephone. She was a Siress, and famous Piscon fragroner( perfumer), Siress Europa, from Piscon City, traveling with her husband. The siress took an instant liking toward Persphone and asked her if she would like to come sit with her in her seats. Siress Europa and her husband were unable to have children of their own and were always saddened by this. They decided they would care for the orphaned child from that moment onwards.
Finally the pilot recieved a transmission from another vessel, that managed to escape, to follow their vessel, and join the rest of the surviving rag tag of ships. The Galactica was the only surviving Battlestar, and was putting forth the word for all survivors to join the Galactica's fleet of ships, on anything that could still fly.
A promise of protection at last. The skybus pilot immediately set a flight path to the Galactica's fleets, and within 30 millicentons, we had rendezvoused with the rest of the survivors on ships and the Galactica.
Surviving on the fleets for 29 yahrens, living with her wealthy adopted parents on the Rising Star, Persephone grew up to learn and became the Siress's close assistant in learning all about the creation process of fine fragrons, and their sacred ingredients. She studied well in instructional period throughout her growing up yahrens, taking her finals among the elite students from wealthy families on the Fleets, majoring in her inclined fields of study: Arts, History, Floran Studies( the study of flowers and spices used for Fragrons (perfumes) ), Uranianology ( study of the stars and cosmos) and Colonial Business Marketing.
Siress Europa created exquisite fragrons, for both women and men, to compliment and suit a person, according to their birth tribe. She based her products on each Colony's known typical traits and characteristics that pertain to the general population of each colonial tribe, and the influence of the stars bestowed upon each tribe's planet. It is these qualities that are carried with every person from birth, that make a person's tribal origin, distinguishable from another.
Siress Europa was a wise, insightful and well learned woman. She became an endeared mentor to Persephone, and taught her about Cosmos Tribal studies, and how even though we are all one large human race in this part of the universe, every tribe is special and unique in their own way, and together, are all integral to our human civilization to maintain the balance of harmony, understanding, tolerance, diversity, growth, love, prosperity and wisdom.
Persephone was deeply inspired by her mentor, and adopted mother, learning to embrace and honor, not only the uniqueness and beauty of others, but she also learned to embrace and honor herself, realising her place in the universe.
Persephone always wore her personal favourite fragron she created for "Star Scents", for Piscon women, made from the memorable and dreamy Mimosa blossom, that grew in abundance on Piscon, aptly named, "Mimosan Dream".
Siress Europa was indeed a distinguished lady among Piscons, and throughout the Colonies for her exquisite fragrons. Many "Star Scents" boutiques were found throughout the Twelve Colony's capitals and secondary cities.
At the age of 28, Persephone was by now a social butterfly among the elite class on the Fleets. One day she met a gentleman from the ship, the Aedina, originally a native from Canceria, visiting the Starliner on business. His name was Chiron. He was a Protector( lawyer). On the day she met Chiron he visited Siress Europa's onboard "Star Scents" boutique, searching for a Nova Yahren gift for someone dear to him. He was tall, handsome and distinguished with dark hair, brown eyes and golden brown skin. He possessed a warmness in his voice like no other she had encountered before, with a charming smile to match.
Persephone assisted him in finding the perfect female Cancerian fragron. Persephone harboured a secret hope that the recipient of Chiron's gift, was not for someone he was romantically involved with. Chiron spoke with Persephone for several millacentons long after selecting a fragron and sealing the sale. There seemed to be a chemistry between them from the start of their acquaintance. That very night, Chiron invited Persephone to dine with him in the Starliner's exclusive dining room, "The Golden Benu " . That evening, Persephone found out the fragron he bought earlier at Star Scents was in fact for his sister, Damianna. Soon after, a courtship developed, and they found themselves commuting between the Aedina and the Rising Star every chance they had. They were planning to be sealed in the following yahren.
But, before this could happen, Chiron was tragically killed in a civilian shuttle during an unexepected cylon attack, on his way travelling to the Galactica for a tribunal hearing. Persephone never got over the loss of Chiron. To add to matters, Siress Europa had been taken ill, due to old age, and ailing health. The siress also pined for her dear husband, who had sadly passed away two yahrens before.
Soon, persephone found herself to be on her own again, with no other known family alive. She thought her brother, sister, and cousins to be all dead after the fall of the twelve worlds.
Siress Europa passed away peacefully, leaving her fragron legacy to her beloved adopted daughter. She even left her noble title to Persephone. However, she never felt right about taking on the title of Siress. Though, she continued the fragron work in Europa's boutique on the Rising Star, for a further six sectars before feeling she wanted a change, and a new life, after loosing everyone she ever loved.
Persephone heard about openings on the new Battlestar Callisto for recruits. She remembered how she always day dreamed when she was small girl about what it might be like to live the life of a Colonial Warrior. It intrigued her deeply. She had no other plans for the future, and decided to join the Callisto as a ensign, and learn to fly a viper. She wanted a chance to do something to help protect what was left of her human brothers and sisters.
She greatly admired what the warriors on the Galactica and the Pegasus had done to bring them so far already across the universe safely, in search of Earth. It was her turn to contribute to preservation and safety of her people. this opportunity would help to rebuild her life and her inner-strength again. A new passion in life was what she needed, with new challenges, learning what else she could be capable of.

Severin is a musician, Severin is a muse, Severin is an empath - perhaps a telepath - she's not even sure.
Now she has to be a pilot, and has no idea how, yet, despite her academy training. As she has read in ancient writings, she is a lover and an artist, not a fighter. But she has to be, if she wants to preserve that art. She's also been told that Earth has much to offer in that regard and really wants to make it there. In one piece.
She has no more idea who her parents were than the infamous Starbuck; for all she knows, they're related. Shudder the thought. She too has come from an orphanage and when she entered the academy she came in with the clothes on her back, an instrument she built with her own two hands and managed to keep hidden and a notebook with her own private thoughts in her varied forms of expression. If if weren't for the academy tutors, understanding instructors, and her own personal religious beliefs as a Leonid, Severin would not have survived a yahren of the Academy. Other than the required interaction with Black Squadron and of course, her superiors, Severin keeps to herself. Gifted musician, gifted songwriter and may, upon coaxing, be able to tell you what Baltar (player's note - if that applies here) is thinking and planning. With enough coaxing, that is. She's not looking into any personal gain; she's just not at this point into becoming too close to anyone.
Personal stats:
Age: 25 Parents: Unknown Height: Equivalent to 5" Weight: Equivalent to 85 pounds Left hand dominant Extremely right brained IQ of 177 Hair color: Black, cropped short Eyes: Dark brown Religios belief: "Planet"-centered
