Profiles, profiles... XD *_*
Name: Alferei ‘Nikita’ Talietzin
[Nikita (Male, Russian name): Unconquerable]
Age: 22
Gender: Male
Faction: Neutral (until a well-paying job is offered)
Appearance: His rather short black hair is usually gelled to the sides. It is shorter at the sides than at the top of his head, and is combed backwards. (Hairstyle resembles that of Bear Walken’s from GunGrave.) Wears urban camouflage and sometimes body armour out of habit. He is of Chinese descent, but was born in the former Soviet Union. (Officially, he is a Russian citizen.)
Skills/Abilities: Is very physically fit, very accurate with his weapons and has a strange preference for bolt-action sniper rifles. As a sniper, he rarely misses a shot, and can very stealthily make his getaway after he makes his kill. He is very observant due to his training and experience as a sniper - he has very good eyesight, hearing and sense of smell. Is trained to use all sorts of firearms, and is trained in Systema and the ever-so-popular Taekwondo. Known throughout the Russian mafia and mercenary groups as ‘Nikita’, because of a past event during his time in the Russian armed forces.
Equipment: Carries a Beretta 92FS with suppressor in a pocket sewn into his uniform. He carries a combat knife with the scabbard sewn into the same pocket. Often uses a black-market G36C, F2000 or AK-101. Possesses a L96A1 sniper rifle and a scoped Mauser Kar98k. In the right hands, both are lethal even at a distance of more than one mile. Has all manner of optical and electronic equipment stashed in a basement converted into a bunker. Carries a camera phone that’s always on silent mode. Carries one of his three assault rifles everywhere. Brings a sniper rifle along if the mission dictates that it is necessary.
Personality: Being a sniper, is naturally able to keep himself calm throughout most circumstances. He thinks fast, and is an excellent tactician and strategist. He always tries to take into account all possibilities before formulating plans and backup plans. One might call him a jack of all trades. He is a wonderful marksman, and is very capable of surviving under the most terrible circumstances due to his immense willpower. His leadership qualities are a thing not to be put to waste. Is usually careful with his use of words and actions. He carries 40 rounds of ammunition for his sniper rifle (different rounds for different rifles) in a pouch which hangs from his belt, and carries no less than six extra magazines for his assault rifle.
Biography: Joined the Russian armed forces voluntarily to earn his keep. In one of the local conflicts in Eastern Europe, the platoon he was assigned to garrisoned a building, but was wiped out because he failed to kill the ones who had spotted them for an artillery fire mission, which was his duty as a sniper. After the artillery struck, he and a few others survived but held positions according to orders. An AK-74 he picked up jammed midway through the fighting, and he tossed it aside, taking out his entrenching tool from his pack, charging outside and wildly bashing his enemies with it. The fact that he was the only one who survived – under such circumstances – earned him the nickname of ‘Nikita’.
Other: Speaks fluent Russian and English. He speaks limited Mandarin. Has no trouble with killing people if the situation dictates that it is necessary. His policy is one ‘shot – one kill’ as far sniping is concerned. Dislikes talking about how he earned his nickname. He has been surviving thus far on job offers with his team of mercenaries, all previously from Special Forces from different countries. Currently, they reside outside of Tewen, awaiting a job offer that pays well.
Name: Wilhelm Stein
Age: 43
Gender: Male
Faction: Neutral
Appearance: Often wears a tuxedo and carries sunglasses. His thick blonde hair is often combed in a side parting from left to right. Wears a shoulder strap underneath his jacket so that he can conceal his handgun under his left armpit. Has scars across his face, arms, chest, back and legs from many operations while he was still in the GSG9 – a counterterrorist unit, and then the KSK, the German special forces.
Skills/Abilities: He is more politically inclined, and is skilful in blackmail and entrapment to get what he wants out of someone. He speaks coolly and tactfully, using it to his advantage during negotiations. Has been trained not to break when under psychological and/or physical torture. The perfect Mafioso, one might say. He is good with most firearms, but absolutely hates the idea of using a revolver. Is a talented musician, and regularly plays classical, flamenco and waltzes on guitar and piano.
Equipment: Beretta 92FS, GLOCK 18 or Walther P99. Assault rifles such as the G36, F2000 and submachine guns like the FN P-90 are his preferred automatic weapons. Normally carries only a handgun and four spare magazines.
Personality: Cocky and humorous, but is serious when he needs to be. Takes pleasure in watching others suffer or die, and enjoys manipulating situations because it gives him a feeling of power. Your typical sadist. Smokes on a regular basis.
Biography: Wilhelm lived in the German Democratic Republic – Eastern Germany – until both sides were united just before the Soviet Union dissolved. He served his nation in the GSG9 and then under the KSK until he was discharged due to politics in the administration.
Other: Speaks fluent German and English. Prefers not to talk about past operations and why he is not still with the KSK.
Name: Katrine Filipkowski
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Faction: Neutral
Appearance: Has straight, shoulder-length blonde hair with a side parting. Wears a pair of dull-coloured spectacles to avoid reflecting light and attracting attention. Like Nikita, she wears urban camouflage on a regular basis, but wears black business suits during negotiations and casual clothing for civilian purposes such as shopping.
Skills/Abilities: She is quite versatile, and excels at gathering intelligence. She has her own intelligence network, with moles regularly gathering information from various countries and organisations. Adept at socialising, and is as good with a gun as she is with her vocal skill. Is physically fit and highly intelligent.
Equipment: Heckler and Koch MP-5 and FN P90 submachine gun. Carries a combat knife in her one of her shoes or boots. Her preferred sidearm is the GLOCK 18. Often seen carrying a solid combat-capable laptop with a bullet-proof body, standard issue for Special Forces operatives. Always carries spare ammunition.
Personality: She is a cheerful, sociable Pole, and tends to be quite optimistic. She is able to make friends easily, but does not always immediately trust others. May be considered somewhat paranoid with regard to information gathering; she normally corroborates the information with another source before accepting it.
Biography: Despite the fact that she lived without a father, she survived with her mother as the sole breadwinner, with support from her family. Due to the lack of emotional support from her father who died in the line of duty as a policeman, she sought to make more and more friends, leading to the development of an intelligence network of her own. She joined the Polish army and made it into GROM, the Polish Special Forces. She left not long after to become a mercenary after completing her training and working for a year. She met Nikita and Wilhelm while searching for work in Berlin.
Other: She speaks fluent English, German, Polish and Russian. Hates smokers, but can live with Wilhelm because he is not the villain that smokers are made out to be. Is quite submissive towards Wilhelm, whom she treats like the father she never had.
Name: Brandon Hughes
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Faction: Neutral
Appearance: Sports a crew cut. He keeps his blonde hair very short out of habit. Wears grey clothing and black boots for urban camouflage. His body is very well-built; years of constant training have resulted in his achieving his current level of fitness.
Skills/Abilities: Specialises in heavy weapons such as machineguns. Is a wonderful shot with the FN Minimi machinegun, but does equally well with the H&K G36 and the attached grenade launcher. He is a quick thinker, depending heavily on his quick wits to get his men out of trouble alive. Is an excellent boxer.
Equipment: Owns the FN Minimi machinegun aka M249 SAW, Heckler and Koch G36 with grenade launcher, F2000, Walther P99. Also proficient with the DAO-12 shotgun he keeps in his closet and AT-4 rocket launchers illegally obtained from the United States. Always carries extra ammunition.
Personality: While in battle, he is calm, but outside of it, he tends to respond to provocation with blunt comments. He is friendly, and treats the rest of his group well. Cannot appreciate classical music.
Biography: Born in the UK into a lower-middle-class family, he dropped out of school early to join the British armed forces, choosing not to depend on his family, which needed money to raise his younger brother and sister. He served in the British Special Air Service before leaving to become a mercenary. He met Wilhelm, Nikita and Katrine at a restaurant in Lebanon, while they were on a mission to assassinate a key political figure.
Other: Does not easily give up. Refuses to accept failure at times, and has a slight ego issue. Cannot stand it when Wilhelm starts talking about the beauty of classical music. Jumps the gun when what little patience he has is pushed to its limits, but otherwise follows Wilhelm’s instructions to the letter.
All of them are good, combat-proven fighters, trained well and disciplined. Wilhelm leads the team as he is the most experienced, but he leaves the direction of gunfights to Nikita, who is the most observant.
My characters are mundane because I’d like to see how far they can go with wits and weapons and no special powers at all. It presents me with a challenge. ^^
I hope to have fun RPing with all of you. =3

Oh my goodness. Tali, I'm amazed at the detail of your characters. And what's more interesting is that all four of them constrast somewhat with the other, yet are able to work together as a group. A very nice example of a team with unique people. I cannot wait to see what's in store from them.

Name: Dr. Jacob Rauls
Nickname: Igami
Age: 27
Ethnicity: Caucasian/Polynesian
Faction: Phoenix Triad
Complexion: a light reddish-brown
Height: 6'
Appearance: As a physician, Igami is commonly seen wearing the uniform most fitting to his "occupation": A white, four-button jacket acts as an over-coat, carrying two visible pockets near the bottom of each side respectively. Under the coat sits both a white button-up and a black tie. Black slacks cover muscular, yet lithe legs, while dress-shoes with padded soles for extra comfort veil the feet. To finish his attire, a single stethoscope hangs loosely around his neck.
As with many, most of his strength is built in his legs, yet his fighting style calls for more power and flexibility than average, although Igami is careful to keep his entire body fit.
Abilities/Skills:
Overall, his psychic abilities are decent at best. As a telepath, Rawls has access but to two areas of the mind: memories and the physical senses. From here, he has a range of approximately two hundred feet, yet the farther the distance, the more apt he is at missing his target. Usually, this falls to an ineptitude in creating solid mental links. Thus the illusionist normally holds to small-scale, close-range attacks. A major focus for his abilities lies in memory infiltration, the task only requiring a short increments to learn years about an individual.
When engaged in a fight, Rauls typically uses a combination of projectiles and his legs, believing that his hands should be used to 'heal'.
Personality: Overly jealous and sadistic, Igami is not one to take "no" for an answer, and with a Ph.D. in both anatomy and philosophy, he is known to be quite the persuasive type. Despite his wit, he perfers to take a back-seat approach, allowing others to take the lead on two conditions: 1.) someone has to be put in some form of pain, and 2.) his curiousity is filled. Orpheus once noted that there was always something to focus the latter, adding that once Igami wanted to learn, almost nothing stood in his way.
Despite his history in gangs, his preference is to be away from the fighting.
Equipment:
- shots (toxins, truth serums, vaccines, etc.) {locked cabinet in the hospital quarters} -- injections for various purposes
- darts (unpoisoned) {at times kept in his mouth and/or meticulously placed in an inside pocket} --
On one end sits a round, bulbous knob, allowing for retrieval without being being inadvertantly pricked.
- shuriken (each carrying a various type of poison) {six shuriken lay in easy reach on the insides of both sides of his coat respectively} -- To avoid poisoning himself, each shuriken carries a cap that shatters as it peirces the skin. From there, the venom enters the body from the small cavity in the shuriken, emptying as the item begins to bounce off. To better clarify, each item is hollow.
- stethoscope {hangs around his neck} -- Three years of training allow him to use the device to directly focus his ability on altering the nerve signals in a small area. Although this serves to slightly increase his mental link, the end peice must be in direct contact with his 'victim'.
- various other medical items {locked in his medicine cabinet}
Biography: To come...

Yes well...I'll get on it now then. Can you belive my hick of a uncle has a better PC than me? Shocked I was.
Should be sleeping...meh.
Name: Zoroaster (Zora) Real Name: Kain
Age: 20
Faction: Neutral (former LAW,SOT*)
Appearance: Medium black hair, fringe over his eyes, dark blue eyes. Elite SOT uniform: Black under shirt, jeans with grey trainers. Swapped normal overcoat for his own grey woollen jacket.
Skills/Abilities: Clairvoyance, the ability to see a few seconds into the future. Also, random uncontrollable bouts of ether-vision, being able to see things normal people can't...and shouldn't. Defence-based martial arts, aikido, ju jitsu etc.
Equipment: Elite SOT Armalade assault rifle with detachable scope and arcane markings(belonged to Darius), Swordbreaker style dagger.
Personality: Zora is the quiet one of the group. Despite being co-commander in SOT, the same rank as Deuce, he is often overuled on decsions due to Deuce's....personality. Thankfully, Zora is also quite layed back, and happy to watch Deuce try to run things. He also emits a very depressing aura, suggesting someone troubled by his past.
Biography: Zora was born into a broken home, his father left before his first birthday and his mother and younger brother were killed during a home raid by gang members when he was 9. Zora was saved thanks to his foresight skill, but blamed himself for not saving his family. After drifting though foster homes for years, he enlisted in the military at 16 and was recruited by LAW by 18. Darius noticed him straight away, and within weeks of arriving at LAW he was on track to becoming a Sentinel. After the desruction of SOT by LAW, Zora hit his lowest point....Everyone will share his sorrow, starting with the traitors at LAW...
Name: Deucalion(Deuce)
Age: 21
Faction: Neutral (former SOT*)
Appearance: Short blach hair, spiked back, deep red eyes. Complete Elite SOT unform: Elite SOT uniform: Grey overcoat, Black under shirt, jeans with grey trainers.
Skills/Abilities: Bullet Time (Max Payne style) A VERY taxing skill, even using it slightly drains Deuces energy.Once, after using it to save a fellow member from a rail gun slug, Deuce fell into a 3 week coma. Uses it only as a very last resort. Self taught Kendo, freeform long sword style,chinese Kenpo.
Equipment:Chinese broadsword (supposed family heirloom),SMG extended clip and recoil redeucing slide. Darius's sheathed blade (that glows a faint blue)
Personality: When SOT was destroyed, Deuce was shattered, but he also saw a chance to finally take charge. Although he repected Darius fully as a leader,Deuces desire to lead burned from embers into an white hot rage that still burns. While he controls it well most of the time, even Darius would keep his distance from Deuce at his most angry.
Biography: Little is know about Deuces past,and he says even less about it. What is well known is how he joined SOT, because Darius would tell the story at the drop of a hat. On patrol one night, Darius and his partner were set upon by Dragon members. His partner was killed, but a timely attack by Deuce from the dark saved Darius's life. He hired Deuce on the spot and he became a top agent. With Darius's death...Deuce became an avatar of hate.
Name: Romulus (Rom) Real name: Alec
Age: 18
Faction: Neutral (former SOT*)
Appearance: Short blond hair (messy), bright green eyes. Complete Standard issue SOT uniform: Black overcoat and trainers, grey undershirt and jeans.
Skills/Abilities: The ability control all metal. Stopping bullets in mid-flight is impossible of course, and his power is restricted by range. Crushing a can far away is fine, but to crush something like...say a car, Rom would have to be touching it himself. Tae kwon do, Vale tudo.
Equipment: Dual Elite SOT Sidearms (think real life Gcon 2 with angry recoil lol) with AP rounds and arcane markings (belonged to Daruis). Single steel Tonfa.
Personality: Rom takes cheerful to a whole new level. In normal instances, just Rom being in the room is enough to bring everyone out of the darkest mood. He has made it his mission to make Zora laugh, such is his desire to spread joy. He is still very naive reguarding the importance of his place within the group, and sometimes doesn't take things as seroiusly as he should, to the dismay of Deuce.
Biography: Rom was born into wealth, but shunned it the first chance he got, refusing to become obsessed with the materel things in life, instead choosing to become a street fighter. During one such fight, Rom fought an undercover Daruis. Daruis was so impressed by the young mans talent that when it came time to bust the fighters, Daruis insisted Rom be let go to join SOT. Rom was a member for two weeks before SOT was shut down, but refuses to let that get in away of their misson. A two week member is still a member after all...
*shakes head* Pathetic. This is a shadow of the other bios i wrote. Buts that all I can manage right now.
There you go guys and girls, let me know if they're ok and I'll get to work on the intro piece,and also the background on SOT that may not have a direct effect on the story, but may be needed for..future eps...

Err...yes, someone should. He hasn't like, left, has he? He didnt say anything. Grr, I hate when stuff like this happens, it's like only writing half a story, like that zelda one Mr something was doing...then he left without finishing! *rant rant*

This may be thinking ahead, but if we are going to say hes 'gone'. That means someone has to take over his character, and im not the one who could do it. Im not voting for anyone or pointing any fingers, im just crossing them and hoping Vex comes back eventually.

Dec 4 2006, 08:46 PM
At this point, may have to consider the saddening close it down with all the inactivity or seeing if you can e-mail Vex and see what's up. But I may think it's going to be a long while until he comes back if this keeps up.
Seluna
Dec 4 2006, 10:20 PM
On the off chance that he doesn't come back, I'll have take over his characters and position as GM. But I seriously hope it won't go down to that. Anyone who has his email address, please contact him and let him know that we are hoping he will alert us to his situation.

Name: Julian Democles
Age: 29
Faction: (Dragon, Phoenix, Hades, LAW, or neutral?) As yet undecided.
Appearance: Julian stands unusually short, at five foot, he has medium length dirty blonde hair and an orange complexion. His eyes are a pale chestnut brown. He has three scars on his left cheek (An animal claw) and the rest of his left side of the face is twisted by scar tissue from a mauling.
Skills/Abilities: Shapeshifter ( Specialising in Feline (Cats) and Birds).
He has nanosymbiotes in his bloodstream that slowly repair damage to his body however, these AREN'T enough to keep him alive if he sustains excessive damage, they are more like a bandage/form of bio control.
Equipment: Usually nothing. His weapons are whatever his feral form usually has (Claws, Talons, Teeth)
Personality: Julian is quite soft spoken, he keeps his thoughts to himself and tends to act in a manner that others don't understand, he often casts aside whats best for himself and focuses on goals that will ultimately benefit the many.
Biography: Julian was born in a small village on a tiny greek island, his family were all natural shifters.
When Julian was Seven years of age, his village was raided, it is unknown by whom, however some blame phoenix, Some blame Dragon. Others, A more sinister force far more dangerous than them.
Nonetheless it was here that he recieve the nanobiotics that aided his healing, and here that his shifting prowess was honed, he was molded into an efficient spy, usually favouring a Panther form, or that of a Peregrine falcon. However he can and often uses the form of a black housecat to infiltrate homes.
He escaped the facility at 25, and has been living quietly ever since then, constantly wondering who destroyed his life.
It is unknown to who his loyalties lie, but one can assume it's whoever gives him the answers he seeks.

Equipment: MP5, silenced, muzzle-flash hider, 2 9mm Revolvers. Two long knives, one Katana, Cloaking device. Half of brain is computerized.
Personality: Very cold and calculating, very bad a small talk. Not socialble, not hostile. Very perceptive.
Biography: Saber was the first of a secret military program to computerize Soldiers. They attempted to replace his arm with a cannon, but failed. One day an explosion destroyed the lab, and he disappeared. He showed up on the side of the road one day in the city, with a new arm, selling weapons.
Is that better?

Nice, profile, Chrono. ^^
However I find that it would be impractical to custom-make an M4 Carbine to .40 calibre. It is meant for close-quarters battle, being shorter and lighter than the M16. To make it a .40 calibre weapon would mean having to redesign the bolt etc. mechanisms to fit the bullet, and it would be ridiculous to use it in close-quarters combat even with a robotic arm. The recoil would simply be too high and the report too loud. Silencers for larger-calibre weapons would have to be used, and might not even fit onto it in the first place. It would make your M4 a very impractical weapon indeed - the fact is, it would have to be enlarged in order to allow for better heat dissipation thus defeating its original purpose.
The .22 calibre or 5.56mm M4 already has ridiculous muzzle flash and generates loud reports. A .40 calibre weapon would make it even larger. If you want a .40 calibre weapon, I would recommend you use a machinegun instead. The recoil of the 0.30 caliber or 7.62mm AK-47 is already horrible. Even if you had one metallic right arm, the recoil would still fling the gun out of your hand. If not, it would likely damage the firearm or at least the handgrip. (Wouldn't want to have to replace the handgrip every time you use it, now, would you?)
As for the Desert Eagle, it carries seven shots and only Hollywood warriors would use it. My reasons are these: it has been found to have insane recoil and generates ridiculously loud reports as well. There is no silencer for the .50 calibre Desert Eagle as far as my searches on World Guns and Google have found.
Having a robotic arm would also limit mobility, assuming the arm is strong enough to withstand bullets (which would mean it has to be very dense, very hard and hence very rigid). It would certainly stabilise the rifle better, but it would make shifting the weapon more difficult seeing as the arm itself is a heavy, metallic object.
All that aside, I actually like your character. He has his strengths, yet has personality flaws with regards to social interaction. A 'computerised' brain would probably enable him to think faster, and react faster, and he can also use his robotic arm as a shield against projectiles and other weapons.
As I have said, Chrono, it is a nice character. I think you might want to tone the weapons down a bit for the reasons I mentioned above. I don't want to sound like a nitpicky, annoying bugger, but yes, I am a gun freak and realism freak.
However, I'll leave the decision up to Vex Core, the GM. If he says it's okay, I'll live with it. =D
Cheers. And no offence meant by any of my comments. Don't take it to heart if you find that I have offended you somehow. =)

lol Gamer, don't worry! It's illegal to possess firearms in Singapore >.> If it were legal, ohhhhh my goodness, I don't want to think about it. x.x
I just felt it was necessary to state my opinion >_>
So don't worry, you're safe o.o lol

I fixed the guns, from M4 to MP5, which has less recoil and is lighter. Deagle is now Revolvers.
As for the arm, it's based on an Idea of mine. I won't go into the details, it's long and complicated (I spent an hour talking about it once...Just the muscle system.) What it does is essentially replace half his upper body with metal, and most of his muscles are Nanobotic. They function like normal muscles, just as manueverable, but much stronger. They can be calibrated from 1-1000, 1 being normal human strength, 1000 being almost God-like in strength, pretty much hercules. This has a major drawback, the higher it is calibrated, the more materials are required for maintenance. Calibrated at 1000, the arm essentially destroys itself, which isn't good since its not a small feat to get a replacement. It wasn't originally designed to stop bullets, but he added a special plate on the forearm. This inhibits some mobility, but not as major as you might think.
I can see how a traditional robotic arm would screw with everything, but this is more of muscle than gear.
And a side-effect is that some of his limbs have become hybrid versions of this, his body is about 25% more metallic than the average human (not counting his arm).
So, with these updates, am I in or what? I wanna start.

Nice idea, Chrono.
I suppose that arm would be fine, but Vex will handle the decision. Just remember that the SS190 round (used by the P90) pierces through 48 layers of standard Kevlar, and may damage the arm.
As for whether you're in, that's not my prerogative. It's up to Vex, so we'll wait and see what he says. Looking forward to RPing with you. ^^
