Name: James "Liuey" Tyrrel

Age: 35

Nationality: British

Appearance: James is a tall, muscular man, who has always trained to be in prime physical condition. His dark brown hair is kept short and his face shows the signs of mild facial hair regrowth. His most noticeable feature is his green piercing eyes that soaks up the gaze of anyone who makes eye contact. When on duty he is rarely seen out of uniform. He is also known to carry around a pocket watch which has the words "Liuey" carved on the back.

Size: 6ft 3in, 160lbs.

Characteristics: Descended from a long line of servicemen and having years of naval experience himself, James, walks with an air of authority. He is thorough, almost to the level of obsession when it comes to attention to detail. He demands efficiency from his crew and sometimes pushes them to the limit but he believes that he knows where the limits of those that serve under him lie. In fact he does care a great deal for those under his command but he would never admit it to anyone. If anything, he is afraid that his personal feelings would cloud his judgment and that could potentially jeopardize the ship and his crew, so he opts to hide behind the tough, no-nonsense exterior. He hopes that the crew views him primarily as an approachable figure, capable of counsel but also as someone who is capable of dealing out retribution to any that cross the line.

Occupation: Commander

Yeah I guessed I would need to post a visual indication of how it really was titanic, because it seems most people can't be bothered to go to wikipedia and search "largest ship".

This sounds very interesting.

Name: Robert McAllister

Age: 46

Nationality: Scottish

Appearance: a slightly hunched man with weary brown eyes, slowly greying black hair, and a beard. his uniform is quite old, quite battered and yet, slightly reassuring. the shoulder patch has been sewn on and taken off quite a number of times. Has a bad back.

Size: 6' 1", 170lbs (though he has not weighed himself for a long while)

Characteristics: A veteran of the Great War, Robert has proven himself as loyal time and time again on quite a few ships, he is very experienced, and yet, every opportunity to take a command post, every single chance of promotion, he has ignored; he has never been fully confident in his ability, he would much prefer to stay in the sidelines, always there to help, but never to take the reigns himself. He dreams of one day retiring, buying a fishing boat, and spending the rest of his days with his wife and child in his native Scotland.

Occupation: First mate. (OOC: aha! bet you were expecting me to say engineer there weren't you?)

Name: Adalwolf Von Fleicher

Age: 49

Nationality: Imperial Germany/Weimar Republic

Appearance: Usually, a grimy and filthy man, with a Franz-Joseph style beard and very short graying hair that he almost always hides underneath his naval officers cap. He wears worn army trousers; a very worn leather jacket and a patched shirt; he normally also wears short jackboots. If there is an occasion, however, he will clean up and wear an imperial German Navy Officer's regalia with several medals, including three Iron Crosses.

Size: Rather short, more or less average weight.

Characteristics: A veteran of the first world war, this man has been admired by many officers, soldiers and recruits. Adalwolf was a baron's only son before the war, who's family was killed by revolutionaries after he returned from the war. After this, he left Germany for many years. He wandered the earth as an engineer above many ships and the few comments that could be gathered, he has been described as "hard-working, almost a genius".
He has picked up many bad traits, however. After the war, he was left with a fear of seeing his comrades dying. This has also caused him to become an alcoholic. He is said by many to blend German loyalty (He is still loyal to the Kaiser) and ingenuity. After some time spent searching, "certain people" located him in Tanzania, where they promptly recruited him onto a ship called the UNS Ulysses. He wants to feel the thrill of adventure, the majesty of the sea, maybe, the excitement of combat, hear the sounds of the engines and, perhaps, he wants to find someone from his past...

Occupation: Chief Engineer

Hopefully, that is okay. If you want me to change something, feel free to notify.

We need some females. Or we can not and have it be like the real Navy, ha ha ha.

Actually, being in Canada, this really isn't a big deal...
