Birds of Prey - Aces of Dog-Fight

So here is the idea.
In an altarnate universe, which looks likes our 1920's and 30's, the mankind changed the way of wars. After the Great War (1914-1921), mankind suffered too much casualities, so decided they won't start any other war.
However, the conflicts won't disappear that easily from humans. So while the nations stopped to develop new and better weapons, the large corporations realized, it could be their chance for great whealth. So some corporations decided, they will invest money into the wars.
Oh and by the way, smaller nations, some in Asia, Middle-East, Africa, Balkans, don't want to follow the rules of the "western cowards". So, the weapons have their markets.
And soon, some of the corporations found out, not only weapons, but expert warriors could be also profitable to lend these nations.

This is the idea.
Me and VGrace we'll be the storytellers. So we'll make the main events, and tells who "hit" who and how much.

Template of the pilots.

Name:
Gender:
Age:
Fractions: (later when Me and Vgrace decides the corporations)
Appearance: (pic prefered, but a short description is also fine)
Bio: (while your character want to be a pilot, and why choosed to be a "hired wing")
Aircraft
Type: (what kind of aircraft you choosed pic or short description - only propeller or rotor moved, but in this category, you can use fictional or experimental aircrafts as well)
Armament: (be balanced, if you have heavy guns you are slow and vice versa)
Speed: (maximal in km/h)
Range : (the maximal distance, your aircraft can make with full of fuel)

huh guess I'm in this then.

Well I was thinking for my Corporation/Faction to be Communist themed or a Royal/Europen theme to it.

Sooo

I will leave it to a vote for now.

Hmm. Well, I was sort of sgoing to poignantly ignore everyone >.<* for not playing my stuffed animals game... but this seems kind of fun...

Well! Why not? I'm allowed to want to have fun! >:( I'm allowed to try and make the forum better! You would miss me if I never came back! D:<

Here's a character~

Name: Baxter Babcock!
Gender: Male
Age: 26
Factions: Imperialist, what. Cheerio.
Appearance: http://imansolas.freeservers.com/ASExupery/Portrait-Military-Uniform.jpg
Bio: Babcock piloted for the Britts during the Great War. He's a total limey type of guy, but after the war he became addicted to flight combat. He went AWOL with his plane and started hunting down other X-Pilots, forcing them to dogfight him, learning to tweak the girl's performance and killing power! He's now ruggedly handsome and charming, as well as having a huge ego for everyone to enjoy.
Aircraft Type: I dunno. A triplane. It's name is Shamefull Display.
Armament: Forward light machine gun. The underside of his plane is also outfitted with a flamethrowing machine!
Speed: 130 km/h
Range: 300 km

I dunno, whatever. See you on the landing strip!

Okay, and here come another challenger.

Fraction:
Wings of Steel Corporation (if anyone wants to follow me instead of Vgrace, choose this fraction)
Appearance: http://szentkoronaradio.com/files/images/daniel%20laszl%C3%B3.jpg
Bio:
He lost his father in the Great War while he was only a student in the Air Academy of Budapest. Not so later, his mother followed her beloved husband, deceased in heart attack. Without brothers and sisters, he followed his friends in the Academy, when they decided to use their talents in foreign skies.
As the aces of a international corporation, which has leaders from Russia, Poland, Hungary and Austria.
Like a true descendant of the hungarian hussars, he is using agility, thougness and speed instead of great strength, and never makes spectacular victories. That's why he isn't the face of the corporation, but well payed and respected amongs the pilots and their leaders.

Aircraft Type:
Mendicant.
Heavily modified french tandem biplane (Arsenal-Delanne 10)

Armament:
Dual 7.5 mm caliber MAC-34 MG
Speed:
565 km/h
Range :
1900 km

Then I shall be a communist themed corpation.

I hereby acounce the formtion of the Republic Air Battlion

I guess not? Seriously, planes never went that fast in 1930... I want to go faster!

Sorry for my late responses I was a bit busy. '^^
So.
@Pinkimorphic:
Well, you have a badass flamethrower, whic is really heavy. In short, it reduces your speed. So, great firepower or great speed. That's why my bird have only an mg, but better speed.

By the way.
Will there be any other people? I hope so. I really wanna make adventures for you guys. So, please tell it o others as well.


If you don't mind we'll start it at Monday (or at least Wednesday), but it'll be open for newcomers.
Until there won't be too much players I'll play the "random encounters".

But gather more and more people, don't forget:

i don't care how much the British royal airforce needs me. we tried this before, granted with a different twist but still.

Okay everyone, now I'm typing the introduction, so be prepared!

Here is my fraction, the "ultimate" capitalist company.

Wings of Steel

Resident place(s) of the Leadership:
Budapest, The Palace of Turul
Warsaw, Castle of Defense Ministry

Most valuable products:
Rifles, guns, tanks, aircrafts, and recon devices

Number of employees (all over):
~ 50 000

Yearly income (the avarage of the last five years):
~ 15 - 20 million dollars

Brief history:
The Wings of Steel was only a small manufacture before the Great War. Crafted components for aircrafts and sometimes experimental planes. In the War, they made a strange decision: developed a new aircraft to win the support of the Austro-Hungarian and German military and industrial leaders. Their airplane wasn't the best, didn't win the tender, but some other corporations found it very interesting to develop it into something better. That was the beginning.
In the War, the company slowly growned into bigger and bigger, always took a risk, to buy other manufactures and factories, sometimes almost depleted their money sources, but luckily survived those crisis. In the end of the War, they had enough money to survive the worldwide economy crisis.
Right now, thw Wings of Steel is one of the strongest military corporation in Europe, and in the top ten worldwide.

Purpose:
The Wings of Steel decided to open new markets in a somehow hostile area in this decade.
Indo-china.
The distance is the smallest problem, because there are a really stron corporation already took place.
The Republic Air Battlion.
It means a war for both corporation so the leadership started a new recruitment for brave new pilots to take out those "communist scum" from that region.

Hello?
Does anyone still interested in this?
