So, after looking over Dork(keli)'s character sign-up for his story Aftermath, it gave me a bit of an idea to do one of these myself...because it's not like I don't have too much on my plate already. I have no idea how long this will be, but I intend to intermittently write as a break from the other thing I have to write for a different server, in order to use the two as relief from each other. I currently do not have anything written out, but will get started once I meet a certain quota of people. Below will be the list of roles that I'll be taking people for, as well as the name of the person granted that role. I do already have things in mind for the effect fates and roles of certain groups, so be aware that signing up for something may have surprising results.
This is the basic premise for the story:
The United States Marine Corps Vessel "USS Almayer" has been ordered to deploy to the "USMS Jericho", a military station with assets of the Corporation with the purpose of producing and testing experimental weapons. The station entered Code Black protocols approximately 79 hours ago, with a distress transmission being repeated constantly from the vessels transmitter: "Code Black status engaged. Requesting immediate assistance and evacuation via United States forces. Standard evacuation procedures impossible. Hostile vessel within range of station. Weapon systems non-functional." This broadcast repeated for approximately 51 hours before abruptly ceasing, though all readings indicate the station remaining at Code Black status. The USS Almayer is to move into range of the station and begin scanning for the vessel, as well as deploying forces to enforce evacuation from the station to the Almayer. Bravo and Charlie have just been sent down as first responders, with Alpha and Delta loading up for a second wave if needed.

Note that 'character traits' can range from leads as to how your character will act in the scenario to the kind of equipment they use. The less detail I get here, the more freedom you're signing me up to have. If you're playing in what sounds like a more important role, I'd ask for a bit more here.
