"This is an Special Report from CNBC, on the current condition of New York City, more commonly called the City of War.

With a second terrorist attack successful, this time on Wall Street, the economy is rapidly collapsing! It's utter chaos here, firefights are breaking out behind me! Wait, wait wait! Police intelligence has just passed this word to me! The two primary factors in this fight are the Terrorists, who seem to be coming out of the woodwork now, and a group called the Shadow Guard! The police are trying to keep order here, but it doesn't seem to be working! Holy #####! I'm sorry Dan, but I need to get to cover!"

"That's okay Karen. The current situation in New York City is just horrible. That second terrorist attack completely upset the countries economy, and small gang wars are erupting throughout the city. Even with the President declaring martial law, I don't think this situation will be over quickly."

Transmission cut.



NYC has been hit by a second terrorist attack, far larger than the first. Tens of Thousands of well equipped Terrorists have come out of the City's lower class, and are quickly taking control. It is up to you to decide what force you will fight for; Freedom, Order, Destruction....or Yourself?


Terrorists-

As they come out of the woodwork, they bring the terror of Urban Combat to American Soil. There are tens of thousands of Terrorists in the city, and they're willing to destroy anything that stands infront of their Goal....utter destruction of their Enemies.

Shadow Guards-

After the attack, a second group appeared to oppose the Terrorists. They are the Shadow Guard, individually referred to as Shadows. They've aquired incredibly high technology, some of the technologies even higher than the U.S. Military. There is definate Leadership, but the names of those up-top aren't known to anyone. They seem to operate mainly from the Subway stations.

*Note* If you want to be a Shadow Guard, you must PM me, and be an EXPERIENCED RPER.

S.F.U.-

To combat the lack of order in NYC, the President has declared Martial law, and is using his new powers to send in the S.F.U., previously hidden under the notorious black budget. They have the highest technology availible to the Military, from SMGs, to Personal Tanks. They've been given only one objective; Defend Order at any cost!

*Note* If you want to be a S.F.U., you must be an Experienced RPer, or be very good at RPing.

Vigilantes-

Using any weapons, and any means necessary, the Vigilantes of the City are attempting to take it back for the people of New York.


1. Follow ALL standard RP rules, no godmodding, etc.
2. There is no "cross class" character. You're not a Terrorist/Shadow Guard.
3. Vigilantes cannot have super heavy weapons, UNLESS you've been given one in the MAIN STORY. (That means no Personal Tanks, .50 cals, or anything else of that type.)
4. Realism people, Realism!
-Example of Unrealistic (but not Godmod): As Zero strolled casually through the field of almost solid bullets, he nimbly dodged a snipers bullet, and nailed him from twelve stories up with his shotgun.
5. Don't leave the City! There is interference from the outside world, but you can't abandon NYC in it's hour of need!



Weapons play a key role in this, like any war.

Aside from the normal weapons, everyone has access to blackmarket AK-74s, and things along those lines. You need money, however, and you can't just pull thousands of dollars from your pocket.

There are some specialty weapons, which can only be used INITIALLY by certain people (If no faction is listed, it is Universal)

Magnetic Sniper Rifle - Silent, fast, and deadly accurate, the MSR's painfully slow rate of fire is made up for the lack of either a muzzle flash or sound.

Personal Tank (S.F.U.) - A one man tank, the PT is good for urban combat, and is personalized for each user. It can hold anything from a 30mm cannon, to a Flamethrower.

Flamethrowers [Concentrated Fuel] (Shadow Guard) - Somehow, the Shadow Guard has found a way to compress Napalm into a much denser, and hotter burning fuel. It allows for the Flamethrowers to fire for two hours continously, without running out of fuel, but if a bullet penetrates the fuel tank, rapid decompression causes a quick death for the user.

RPG (Terrorists) - The most common Anti-vehicle weapn, the RPG is preferred by the Terrorists to take out combatants behind armored trucks, and PTs.

APR (S.F.U.) - The Anti Personel Rocket uses a proximity detector to explode at the right moment, sending razor sharp shrapnel into the target zone. It has a hollow area, where it can be loaded with multiple types of shrapnel, from shotgun pellets, to fuel.

Remote Bombs (Terrorists) - Mounted on anything from Remote control cars, to people, RC bombs are capable of mass destruction, even after the carrier is destroyed. A single bomb, placed correctly, can collapse small buildings.

Shadow Generators (Shadow Guards) - Utilizing a new scientific theory, Shadow Generators allow the Shadow Guards to blend in with any dark area, completely invisible from Infrared scopes, or Nightvision. They have a major drawback, however, as if the user moves greatly during the time, they have a tendacy to fail, as they usually cover a set area.



As the years passed, advances were made in public and secret life. The advent of Nanobotic muscles, originally used for treatment of war victims, has been modified heavily by the Shadow Guard.

Terrorists have advanced the fields of chemical warfare, and have adequetly trained their Commandos, well equipped Elite Terrorists (that's you), to take down strategic targets, while expendable, lightly armed infantry, take down enemy forces.

The S.F.U. has built up their arsenal in secret, putting powerful technology in smaller and smaller packages.

History:

Additional Information:

Looks interesting, I think I will be a Vigilante.

Name: Tommy

Age: 17

Faction: Vigilante

Weapons: He carries a silenced 9 mm and a semi-automatic Shotgun. Occasionaly though, he will carry a 35 cal machine gun, instead of the shotgun. He also has a large variety of weapons stored in his "base of operations".

Specialty: Heavy weapons and silent kills
Features: His eyes are blue. And he has long dirty blonde hair. He has the kanji for storms tattooed on his back, and is extremely masculant, though skinny. His eyes are narrow, though he is going blind in his right eye.

Clothing/Apparel: He wears ripped jeans, Steel toed combat boots, with the steel toe bolted on the outside. The boots also have steel botoms, making them weigh a lot more than they should, but he has them for so long, it don't mater anymore. His back and chest are bare, though he doesn't much care. He does occasionaly wear a blue tight longsleeve shirt with Eifel 65's name on it that leaves his belly exposed.

Personality: He has a problem with just about anyone who isn't a Vigilante. Besides that, he is a quite, kind person. Though, he is very blunt, and can be quite cold.

History: When he was about 12, he got started getting into trouble at school, before that, he was a straight A+ student. Though he was the smartest kid in his school before the terrorist attack. The cause of his acting up, was the death of girlfreind. He saw her get raped, and killed, and he killed the man that did it. At such a young age, he just snapped. And now, everynow and again, he will go nuts. On his fifteenth birth day, his father shot him in the leg. Tommy took the gun, and shot his father in the head. Another thing that led up to his not so sain sanity. At the age of 17 his mother was killed in a terrorist attack, along with the rest of his family during a reunion. Now, Tommy is still under control, but you push the wrong buttons, and he looses it quickly.

Additional information: Though he is not sane, Tommy is litteraly a genious, and was one of the best athletes among his school district. He had already been ready to go to Japan for college, but now he can't leave. No thanks to the terrorist. Oh yeah, you don't this, but he keeps all of his "gathered" supplies in a vent in a subway bath room, were he also sleeps and lives. It has been abondoned for a while though. Additional supplies includeds grenades, hand made pipe bombs, and a flamethrower he found on a battle feild, though it was out of fuel. He is saving up money to buy a nanobotic eye, to replace his messed up eye. He gets his money for skilling high possitioned people, and selling weapons on the black market.

Alright, I edited the Character Form, to explain features. It means how his face looks, which I seperated from the normal Appearence, because Clothes can change, but your face cannot.

Okay neko, there's a few problems with your Char. I know, this is a very abstract RP, like I always do, so I explain my intentions later.


Name: Please include a last name, unless he doesn't have a last name. Which is really uncommon.

Age: Fine.

Faction: Fine.

Weapons: That's a bit much to carry at once. The machine gun is a bit more realistic, as long as he sets it up before shooting. But you can't move far with a shotgun, sniper, and pistol. Remeber, he has to carry ammo for each of the weapons, and that takes up lots of space. Even if this is abstract, it is a realistic RP. At most, he could carry the Shotgun and the Pistol (the pistol's fine, it's small, and he can use an ammo belt).

Specialty: Nope, sorry. A 17 year old wouldn't be able to afford a Nano arm. Either an aging millionaire, or the Shadow Guards, can use the Nano arm (The Shadow Guards produce them).

Features: Yes, it means Appearance, specifically Facial.

Clothing/Apparel: It's fine.

Personality: English needs fixing. I know it's the internet, but it's good to practice here.

History: Fine

Additional information: Fix a bit of the English. Otherwise, the idea of a base of operations is good.

Hope that helps. Once two more people post their accounts, I'll post mine.

Name: Valkyrie (Actual name is unknown, adopted into the Shadow Guards at a young age.)

Age: 23

Faction: Shadow Guard

Weapon/s:
Titanium-Alloy HF (High-Frequency) Blade – This weapon, shaped like a longsword, has an energy cell located in the hilt. When activated, the blade vibrates at such a high frequency, it becomes able to slice through thin vehicle armor and, if the user is skilled enough, to deflect small-arms fire.


Colt SOCOM MK-23
Ammunition - .45 ACP
Magazine Capacity – 10 rounds
Equipped with a Flashlight/Laser pointer/Silencer

Specialty:
Bionic Enhancements – Valkyrie’s legs, arms, hands, and feet have all received bionic enhancements up to and including the following. Strengthened joints, replacement of major muscles with biomechanical material, and reinforced bone structure.

Facial Features (Eyes, Mouth, etc.): Valkyrie’s features would hint at her being of European birth. Her long hair, kept in a braid that reaches her lower back, is platinum blonde. Her eyes are cold and hardened after years of being in the Shadow Guard, the icy blue color only adding to the effect. Like most European women, she has an overall attractive face, though she’s never actually been caught smiling. Her skin is also rather pale, lacking the normal peach tone most Americans are used to.

Clothing/Apparel: Valkyrie wears a special, advanced infantry suit, designed using quite a few layers of Kevlar compressed into armor. Effective at halting small-arms fire, it is even able to stop a knife from hitting anything vital. The suit is also skintight to allow for greater range of movement. Pouches on the thighs of the suit are large enough to accommodate her firearm and the ammo used for it. Her sword is kept in a sheath that is tied to a belt on her waist.

Personality: Valkyrie isn’t much of a talker. Whenever she’s sent out on a mission, she blocks out all unnecessary distractions which includes idle conversation and the media. If she needs to, she can be quite loud, especially when communicating with teammates. In truth, she has a soft and caring side that few people ever see. On missions, she has learned to suppress her emotions which she knows would interfere greatly in her work.

History: Valkyrie was born somewhere in Finland, abandoned by her parents when she was only a few years old. At the time, the terrorists were targeting the Finnish government for assisting the United States in their failing efforts in Iraq and the Middle East. When Finland didn’t respond to the terrorist’s demands, they struck, bombing a large train station and killing every last person they could find. Valkyrie, who had been living in the train station, had hid the whole time and came out into that scene of carnage after the terrorists fled. Shadow Guard operatives were the first on the scene and began cleaning up the mess when the found the six year old Valkyrie. This is likely how she earned her name, as she made her way from corpse to corpse, saying a little prayer as she did so. Not sure what the authorities might do with her, the Shadow Guard operatives took her with them, throwing her into their training program. She was enhanced with some of the most cutting-edge biomech enhancements available, along with rigorous and brutal training that would eventually help her when the Shadow Guard received word about the situation in New York. The NYC mission is Valkyrie’s first official one.

Additional Information: Valkyrie’s arm and leg enhancements provide her with nearly twice her normal strength and speed. Her stamina tends to drain a little faster, so her metabolism is incredibly high. These muscular enhancements also degenerate twice as fast.

I like this, I really do. I'll keep my eye on this. JIHAD!

Asuka, I told you in PM that you're approved. So yeah.

Once again, waiting for another person.

Okay dude, i hope this is okay, just let me know if you think i should change anything. And if you dont think i should be a Shadow Guard i dont mind, thats up to you. Cheers either way, sounds like a cool RP.
==============================


Name: Sayuri Daijoban

Codename: 'Pharaoh'

Age: 27

Faction: Shadow Guard

Weapon/s: Psg-1 model Sniper rifle equipped with a powerful scope and laser sight. He also carries a standard issue pistol and a combat knife, for use when he is unable to effectively use his rifle.

Specialty: Sniper, Marksman. Sayuri's only alterations are his left eye and his complete right arm from shoulder to fingertips. His bionic eye acts as a zooming scope and his right arm allows him to have both more accurate shots and gives him the strength to use guns that have a recoil strong enough to brake a normal human's arm.

Picture:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y207/Sephy_dude/Sniper.jpg

Facial Features: He has deep brown eyes, slightly tanned skin and long brown hair. His teeth are straight and he looks younger than his actual age. His nose is an average size as are his lips, he has a well-formed jaw and strong cheek bones. Also, he has a short, dark beard thats well kept. Most would describe him as 'Attractive in a rogue-like sense'. And of course, he is of Japanese origins.

Clothing/Apparel: He wears a black combat suit, with kevlar armour on the chest plate and back plate. He wears a pair of black combat boots. The only thing that he carries on him of personal nature is his dog tags. The suit itself has a belt for his knife and pistol and pockets for extra ammo. The main thing that stands out about his attire is he wears a long brown trenchcoat and a headband.

Personality: Rugged, witty and self-conscious of his actions. He's the first person to risk his life for another's, that said, he can be afraid at times, effectively playing God. Often kind and caring, and never tries to hide his feelings if he can.

History: He had a reasonably normal life growing up, he failed his exams at 18 and joined the army as part of a rifle division.
2 years later his best friend Ben Jackson was caught by stray shrapnel and KIA, he recieved a flesh wound from trying to save him.
It took some time but he eventually got over the death of his friend and returned to active duty 1 week later and now carries his friends set of dog tags on the same chain as his own out of respect.
He was in the army, working his way up the chain of command for several years until he became a Captain. A decorated and accomplished Sniper. He spent 2 years in Iraq, braving harsh deserts and often at the front line, in the heat of attack.
He originally had plans to work his way up the line of command until he no longer had to witness combat, but his plans were taken away when something else happened that completely changed his life.
He joined the Shadow Guard and was given his modifications against his will. He suffers a daily struggle of wanting to return to the army and serve his country and yet, he knows his skills could contribute to the war on the terrorists. He has been in the Shadow Guard since its formation.

Additional Information: When he looks through the scope of his rifle he doesnt just see the enemy. He sees a man. He can tell if he's shaved, if he's married by the ring on his finger, he can see how hot he is by the sweat on his forehead. Because of this, he fights a constant personal war, haunted by the faces of the people he has killed. While he readies to take a shot, his kind exterior drops and a cold concentration takes over that is difficult for him to come back from if he doesnt fire.

Ooohhhh....it's a nice shiny form. I like it. Doesn't seem to be any major problems, but just remeber that nano-botics deteriorate like normal muscles.

There is one other though. The Shadow Guard does not conscript. You join if you want. But once you're in, you rarely get out. So just change the history from conscription to something else.

They do give modifications unwillingly though.

Cool man, i sorted it. Looking forward to this, plus i see a Naruto RP too, i think i MUST join a Naruto RP!!!! Lol.

Could you explain the battle system? Is it the same as Pandora, only one-on-one with no involving from other characters?

Best thing to do would be to find a map of NYC, and mention where you are at the beginning of your post. I reccommend every one do this, as it'll make finding one another easier if we're restricted to the city itself. And as far as fighting? That's not obvious? Take turns posting with the person you're fighting. PM and discuss it if needed.

There were certain... issues in Pandora. Vladimir would know, so I'll have him answer that. Excuse my spamming.

Well, it made it out a bit prematurely (I was hoping to post my profile before it did, which i'll do late tonight. Still fixing him.)

Yeah, Pandora was horrendously buggy. But, this is meant to be real combat, so as long as you're following somebody to start, you can attack them or support them. Please though, don't kill their characters......there is a certain degree that we all have to conform to.

Anyway, there's alot less strutting around than Pandora. It's not Naruto/Bleach posing, revealing huge powers. If you do this right, then you'll rarely be fighting by yourself. It's like real combat, and you do it with a team. Although, you can make your teamates more expendable than Hellsing soldiers. No profiles needed for your expendo-soldiers.

Assasination though, is solo style, or with another person. Like one more. That's just plain obvious. Anyway, good luck to you all, i'll have the IC up tonight along with my profile.

Okay, cool. Just to let you guys know, my character is a sniper/marksman, and is traditionally on their own, or with one other soldier, often a rifleman. So dont feel like you're leaving me out by not interacting as much when we're apart. We could use headset radios if we're both Shadow Guard. *thumbs up*

Name: Joseph Acosta

Age: 36

Faction: Vigilantes

Weapon/s: 12 Gauge pump action shot gun, one .44 magnum, one Berretta (both pistols are concealed in his trench coat) combat knife (concealed in his left combat boot sheathed in leather). ammo

Specialty: Robbery and theft

Facial Features (Eyes, Mouth, etc.): Hazel eyes, Brown hair, serious look on his face all the time

Clothing/Apparel: Black trench coat, bandanna covering head, black combat boots, black gloves, black leather pants, (a bullet proof vest he looted off of a police officer he murdered) and he wears a Grey backpack filled with small amounts of food, some water, supplies, and extra ammo clips

Personality: usually silent, quick to temper, very violent, and has no regard for the lives of others unless they offer him something as incentive, his personality traits are only seen on the surface because he holds back most of his personality from others.

History: A shotgun happy criminal who was released during the terrorist attacks....is a well known criminal with charges of assault, armed robbery, grand theft, possession of illegal weapons, attempted murder, and murder. He gains most of his arms through theft and robbery/armed robbery and looting dead bodies, grew up in a poor area of new york city..took on a life of crime and was sentenced to life in prison. he was released to fight because he was a disposable assailant against the terrorists.

Additional Information: has good aim, usually anti-talkative, extremely aggressive,

(i thought a character like this would be interesting....how is it?)

Valkyrie is more of a stealth operative than a full-on Commando. She uses her speed, agility, and her specially designed weapons for this purpose. So, Valiente, I see the two of us working well together. One long-range specialist providing top-cover for the one engaging in melee.

I'd naturally assume all the Shadow operatives would have some means of communicating with one another as well.

Agent, that's an awfully buggy profile. Your character would be about as mobile as a man stuck in cement. The key to this is realism, and like I explained for another person, you can't carry that many weapons. Try strapping a shotgun, sniper rifles, combat knife, and two Desert Eagles, and then add trench coat, ammo, medical supplies, and anything else your guy carries. This is near future, so not everything is lightweight plastic.

Now, there is a problem with one of the weapon choices. I'm fine with you having duel pistols, but duel Desert Eagles? My friend took me to a firing range with that. The recoil rips your arm off.......There isn't much of a purpose behind them. Reduce them to a normal pistol. Try a Berretta, or even a .44 Magnum. But Desert Eagles are just pointless.....

Overall, it's not bad, but it's not the quality I want in this RP. I'm trying to keep it good, as in REALLY good.

Anyway, like I said, my Character Profile:

Name: Codename Zero

Age: 34

Faction: Shadow Guard

Weapon/s: Berreta Px4 Storm, modified for a silencer. Uses a customized gauntlet, which straps to his arm. It has a knife that slides out and locks in place, allowing him to punch with a knife. For heavy fire, he brings an HK416 Assault Rifle, and a series of modifications for it, including a scope.

Specialty: Assasination

Facial Features: His face is obscured by his H.U.D., which is highly advanced, and includes three ranges of vision, along with providing a link to his vital function through sensors. It is shaped similar to a gas mask, but modified so that upon a command the eyes can light up, suprising his opponents, or striking fear into their hearts.

Clothing/Apparel: He wears the normal black body suit, suited for the pitch black of a powerless city at night. He recently recieved a special Carbon-fiber armor, rated for normal pistol (as opposed to Magnums) and SMG fire. Special shock absorbing technology was added to this, and provides him with enough body armor to complete his missions if things ever get.....ugly

Personality: Like any trained killer, he does not like to talk. His kills are often up close and personal, and he has only repressed the shock by becoming ever increasingly cold and hardened. While he remains a killer, he has a stranger personality quirk; he refuses to kill children.

History: He was found battered and bloody in the Czech Republic near the time of the Shadow Guards formation. He was taken to a base in Japan, and trained in the ways of stealth. Since the age of 24, he traveled the world improving his skills, from learning stealth and silence, to terror techniques designed to freeze his targets heart with fear.

At the age of 33, he was called away from his travels, planned to last another 11 years, and assigned to the New York City cell. There was a reason to suspect a terrorist attack, and it turned out to be correct. Zero was ordered to remain in New York until the threat is gone or he is dead, and neither appears to be happening anytime soon.

Additional Information: None but the highest up know his real name. He claims that his family was killed before he was found, but this has never been verified. He is a drifter in all respects, with no ties to anything but the Shadow Guards. He also has a habit of smoking, but only a special type of tobacco, which he supposedly gets directly from the Czech Republic, but this hasn't been confirmed either.

-------------

Off to post IC! I realize this is limited, but I don't like giving you all the information to start.

Name: Vincent von Goethe (Mortis)

Age: 23

Faction: Terrorists

Weapon/s: Two revolvers with sandal made handles, knife.

Specialty: Accuracy, punctuality.

Facial Features (Eyes, Mouth, etc.): Brown hair reaching the middle of his back, brown eyes, a bit naturally reddish lips. The skin is pale but far from looking sickly.

Clothing/Apparel: Black levis jeans, dark red long-sleeved shirt and a trench coat. Around his waist is a dark brown belt where his two revolvers and the knife are placed.

Personality: Calm, composed, rational, realistic. Although he does not express his feelings facially, he does feel and every problem he has is dealt by himself inside his head. When in a dire situation his heart would start pumping and the adrenaline would kick in making him shiver, but his face would still be the same.

History: Born in a wigwam near the lake Minchumina, Alaska. Life on Alaska made him a bit sturdy, tenacious and enduring. Thought in the ways of a gunslinger only when there was free time, he soon became skilled over the years. When he got to the age of 21, he left the wigwam where he lived with his father and mother, and moved to New York.
When the terrorist attack happened, he wittingly made into their ranks. Because of his calm countenance and swift, trivial and cruel plans, some amongst his ranks started calling him Mortis.

Additional Information: The American ideals of life and prosperity are entirely against his own, thus the reason why he joined the terrorists. The ideals of the terrorists are against his own as well, but are more suited than the American.

This sounds interesting. Might give it a try. However I have few issues. If you are playing a vigilante (A.K.A. Citizen Joe from the street corner) where exactly are you recieving anything heavier than a few kitchen knives and perhaps the gun you may or may not have owned before the terrorist attacks?



I'm assuming there are no stores that simply sell these items; having long been raided, looted, cleared out or destroyed. It's also unlikely that there are any convenient armouries that are unguarded and stocked to the brim, and breaking into any of these places would require either ridiculous skill or luck that verges on the unbelievable when you begin to consider how quickly you could run out of ammunition. And killing the S.F.U and Shadow Guard also suffers from the same problem given their technology.

So that leaves us with killing terrorists who are no doubt very proficient in their current surroundings and, whilst not professional, are far from amateur, leading us back to the unrealistic conditions aforementioned.

I'm also confused by the goals of vigilantes:

What exactly do the people want here? Obviously a significant amount have joined the terrorists. Are we taking the city back for them? Are we taking the city back for the side of order? Are we taking the city back in the hopes of becoming an independant area or state? Whether intentionally vague to allow for a greater number of characters or otherwise, it would be nice to have a little errata or clarification here.

hey LifeonMars73 if uve grown up on the streets of newyork ud know that there r many means of getting ur hands on some "heat" for one if ur brave enough since the cops r busy wit the terrorrist attacks u could go raid there armory
are u can be like my character and have friends in low places such as gangmembers and gunshop owners and before u ask not all gunshop owners r jackasses that will stand back and let pple rob theme i dont know about where ur from but over here the gunshop owners r pretty geared them selves a perfect example of that is to go play grand theft auto if u go and try to shoot the gunshop owner hell pull out ether a shot gun r a pair of 9mms and shoot back also if ur smart enough u could go and take the guns of the dead gunmen and use them urself if u relly think about it there r alot of ways that u can get "heated" when things go caotic so in a way if not only look at the surfice but look at all the details of everything thats going on it would be very realistic for pple to be walking around the streets wit guns and such if the time called for it and on that note if u travel around manhatten u could find chinatown witch sells a lot of katanas(swords),ninja stars,kunies and mainy more things that u could use for weaponry

eh....i guess your right....ill edit that out....lol, i see these soldiers on the history channel that both carry m16s with a pistol and some will have a third weapon....1sg told me about when he was an active infantry man...i only assumed?
eh...i also used the concept from all the wargames ive had.....i must of lost track that games show little realism...my apologies....

look out for my edit...it will be on the previous page

@ LifeonMars

It's intentionally vague, because Vigilantes are in basically the random characters of the world. I only needed them because not everybody is tied to some faction, so I just gave that a name.

As far as the weapons situation goes, you're able to get weapon off the Black Market, and there are plenty of dead terrorists littering the street (usually killed by Police, SFU, etc.). Admittingly, it's harder to find ammunition when you don't have a steady supply, but it's up to the RPers to put that in their story.

In addition, it's probably safe to assume that in a situation like this, the community around you would probably be distributing weapons. Communities unite when faced with certain challenges, invasion being one of them.

And, if you want an excuse for an AK, the terrorists have a large "Arming" system for an home-growns that want to join them. They give you an AK, RPG and a box of ammo. Alot of the guys that pick those up are worthless, so they'd be easy to kill. But that's just an excuse to get a weapon.

@ FIRE_FLY

1. Don't double post. It makes it difficult for Seluna.
2. I'm not approving it until you take it more seriously. I don't demand superb writing, but if you aren't even taking the time to double check your spelling your not getting in. (A few mistakes here and there are fine, but not as many as you had).
3. Your profile is severly unrealistic. This kid has better training than an Navy SEAL apparently, can hack into any computer, and has GANG connections? A kid like that wouldn't be living in New York City, he would be living with his dad in Washington DC as a military trainer.
4. Your weapons are off. Apparently either you Char or his dad was a gunsmith as well as a military and computer genius, because I've never heard of a 9mm magnum. The smallest I've ever heard was a .38 Magnum. Never 9mm.

Also, a blade that would fit comfortably into the index finger, while allowing him to fire, and STILL having enough force for a lethal blow doesn't exist. Notice, my gauntlet for Zero is a "slide and lock", meaning that you slide the blade down, and then lock it in place. You can't do that on a finger piece, and it's bad for any sort of gunfight. Blades are relatively useless in this, unless your sneaking up on someone.
5. Get your kid off the street. He's 16. He has no real combat experience, hasn't killed a person in his life, and still has raging hormones. Given the actions of 16 year old of today, he'll be shot down in about....oh, .043 seconds.
6. Last but not least, your character is VASTLY overpowered. There's no balanced at all. At 16, he's the jack of all trades. He can hack, shoot, bring up gangs to help him out, and not get killed despite the fact that he has no protection at ALL?

In short, that profile is not approved. There are too many problems with it, beyond normal repairs. It requires almost a total rewrite, from the age to the additional information.

@ Agent

Like I said before, although round-about, remove the Desert Eagles. Go with a .44 Magnum, because the Desert Eagle is completely pointless.

Otherwise, he's fine. Just be sure to write correctly in the actual RP, and you'll be fine.

Also, ignore what you see in war games. You can't carry a Bazooka, Sniper, Assault Rifle, Shotgun, Personal Tank, C4, Truck, and three pounds of Crack-Cocaine all at once.

So, is my profile approved or not?

alright....ill go with the .44 magnum, be sure to check my post....it will be edited once again for final recheck...

when will we be able to begin.....out of question?

Now. The IC is up. And for the love of God, stop double posting.

it wasnt a double post....those two posts were several hours apart!

Agent Retrospect Posted Today, 05:36 PM
when will we be able to begin.....out of question?
Agent Retrospect Posted Today, 01:49 PM
(this was the so called double post)

Albels approved.

I'll check the rest later, only stoppin by quick.

OMG, Agent, seriously man.... A double post is when you post, and then post again so there are two of your posts next to each other, having them spaced apart by time makes no difference.
PS. I'm going to change my character's name, appearance, but nothing that would edit him so that he'd have to be re-checked, its just superfluous info i'm changing. I'll also provide a pic. Have a look at my new pic, name and appearance.

different forums have different conduct on double post....on the last forum i was at, double post was considered posting twice in a small time frame......EXCUSE ME....for being brand new and not knowing every rule?

You don't need to get so defensive about it. And I'll get around to posting, I'm just waiting on Val to reply here.

im waiting for the roleplay to begin....i havent been able to do many roleplays lately....hell...i love battle roleplay

sorry about that i tend to write a hole bunch of crap and not think about the logic behind it i apolygize any way rigth now im working on fixing the profile so if i do it rigth this time i sould have it ready by day after tomorrow and ill make sure to run it trough spell check this time

You can begin posting at any time you know. I got the topic up and the first post.

Incase it isn't really obvious to you, the Empire State Building is the center of combat for now, if you want a place where everyone is.

Sorry to keep you waiting, Asuke. Its my fault too though, i shouldnt have gotten so short with Agent, it was an honest mistake and besides, he's really a very nice guy. I'll post ASAP.

Just to make it official Agent, you're profile is approved.

nice, thanks!

Alright, I'm away for the weekend, and I'm not taking my laptop with me. Got a big lacrosse tourny, and this is goin till about July.

So, I'm putting Asuka in charge for now. That means you can approve profiles if you want, or not. I don't mind either way, but if you want to keep people flowing in, be my guest.

If not, stay active anyway, and remeber! No screwing this up!

~Vladimir

I'm not too late, right? I really want in on this RP.

Here are my character profiles!


Name: Alferei 'Nikita' Talietzin ['Nikita' is Russian for 'Unconquerable'.]

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Faction: Neutral (Fighting against terrorists because of job offer)

Weapon/s: Carries a USP40 with suppressor in a pocket sewn into his uniform. Carries several knives of different kinds, one on his skeleton battle order, one on his belt, one in his right boot and one strapped to his right lower leg. Uses an AK-74 and a SVD sniper rifle from his service days in the Russian armed forces.

Speciality: Marksmanship, close-quarters combat, gathering information and keeping it secret. Very careful in planning and skilful in remaining concealed. Reacts very quickly to changes, and is very alert at all times. Able to very critically and sharply observe the environment around himself.

Facial Features (Eyes, Mouth, etc.): Has thick black eyebrows, with medium-sized dark brown eyes. His expression is often either wooden or fierce enough to kill, depending on the circumstances. Has a fading but deep scar running from below his left eyebrow to his nose bridge, and his jaw is very slightly slanted to the left. Has yellowish skin, being Chinese by race but Russian by nationality.

Clothing/Apparel: Often dressed in combat fatigues for urban warfare, complete with a helmet and standard equipment such as a radio and survival kit inclusive of rations, his knives and also his precious bloodstained entrenching tool. Wears elbow and knee guards, as well as body armour for his torso. Carries a pair of binoculars, writing materials, and an artillery periscope used by Russian artillery crews during WW2 to observe enemy positions from behind cover.

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 when formulating plans and backup plans. He is a wonderful marksman, and is very capable of surviving under the most terrible circumstances, all thanks to his immense willpower and his training. His leadership qualities are a thing not to be put to waste - he makes his point clear, and does not waste words. Is usually careful with his use of words and actions.

History: Joined the Russian armed forces as soon as he finished high school – he was put in the Spetsnaz – 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 - a rare occurrence - 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, wielding only that entrenching tool – earned him the nickname of ‘Nikita’.

Additional Information: 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. Recently took on a job offer from a wealthy businessman - a mafia underboss - to work in New York City, fighting against the terrorists. Currently works with a team of mercenaries, who are much like family to him.


Name: Wilhelm Stein

Age: 43

Gender: Male

Faction: Neutral (On job; anti-terrorist)

Weapons: Beretta 92FS and GLOCK 18. Also carries with himself a H&K G36C assault rifle.

Speciality: 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. He is good with most firearms, and absolutely hates the idea of using a revolver. Is a talented musician, and regularly plays classical, flamenco and waltzes on guitar and piano.

Features: Has a face that seems to be shaped after a rectangle. Possess a pair of striking blue eyes, with a healthy amount of blonde hair combed in a side parting from left to right. Often wears sunglasses to take the attention off the many scars on this face received during previous operations and wars.

Clothing/Apparel: Wears urban combat fatigues, body armour and a black helmet with a radio built into it. Night vision goggles are attached to the helmet itself. Bears German military insignia on his uniform despite no longer being a GSG9 (and then KSK) operative.

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.

History: 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 political warfare amongst the higher-ups.

Additional information: Speaks fluent German and English. Prefers not to talk about past operations and why he is not still with the KSK. Acknowledges Alferei as combat leader of the team, but makes the business decisions and negotiations.


Name: Katrine Filipkowski

Age: 21

Gender: Female

Faction: Neutral (On job; anti-terrorist)

Weapons: FN P90 submachine gun as main armament; GLOCK 18 as sidearm. Hides a 3/4 KA-BAR knife in her right boot.

Speciality: She is quite versatile, and excels at gathering intelligence. She has her own information network, with moles regularly gathering information from various countries and organisations on various characters, locations and groups. Adept at socialising, and is as good with a gun as she is with her vocal skill. Is physically fit and highly intelligent.

Features: Has straight, shoulder-length blonde hair with a side parting. Has medium-sized green eyes, and seems to eternally carry a smile. Has good proportions of facial tissue; seen by most as a beautiful young woman rising up the career ladder.

Clothing/Apparel: Wears a pair of dull-coloured spectacles to avoid reflecting light and attracting attention. Wears urban camouflage and carries the same helmet as Wilhelm. Carries a survival kit inclusive of a medical pack and emergency rations – energy-filled fruit bars.

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.

History: 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 there for a year. She met Nikita and Wilhelm while searching for work in Berlin.

Additional information: 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 (On job; anti-terrorist)

Weapons: Uses the H&K MG36. His preferred sidearm is the Walther P99. Proficient with most antitank or heavy weapons. Always carries extra ammunition.

Speciality: Specialises in heavy weapons such as machineguns, mortars and antitank weapons. He is a quick thinker, depending heavily on his quick wits to get his men out of trouble alive. Is an excellent boxer and marksman.

Features: Sports a crew cut. He keeps his blonde hair very short out of habit since his service days in the British Special Air Service. His body is very well-built; years of constant training have resulted in his achieving his current level of fitness, and his bulky, muscular body.

Clothing/Apparel: Dons standard urban camouflage and black boots, with a black helmet just like those of Katrine and Wilhelm. Constantly refreshes the layer of camouflage paint on his face and hands on the battlefield.

Personality: While in battle, he can remain calm and collected throughout, but outside of it, he tends to respond to provocation with blunt comments. Rather quick to lose control of his temper. He is friendly, and treats the rest of his group well. Cannot appreciate classical music at all.

History: 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.

Additional information: Does not easily give up. Refuses to accept failure at times, and has an 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 instructions to the letter.



I'm looking forward to RPing with you guys!

I'm back. Had fun in Baltimore, so yeah.

@Talie

Neutral is Vigilante. They're everybody else. Everything else is fine.

@FIRE_FLY

You're not taking this seriously. Profile not approved.

wath did i do wroug this time

I can't say it simpler.

You simply aren't taking this seriously. This is a story, not an internet game. You're sculpting a story, and should treat it exactly like that; a sculpture.

That means capitalizing words, spelling basic words right, correct puncuation, and good grammar. You don't have to be an English professor, but you absolutely have to write like you care.

And, as far as the actual information goes, raiding an S.F.U. compound will get you killed very fast. Unless your guy is either the greatest fighter on the planet, yet somehow was not recruited for either the Shadow Guard of S.F.U., then he won't be getting out of there alive.

Unless the quality and freaking common sense of the posts in this RP improves, I'm dropping out.

You guys CANNOT take on an armored vehicle alone, and win. Especially if the armored vehicle is backed up with a dozen or so troops. Also, if you're just going to sit in said stolen vehicle, the owners will just blow it up with a rocket or a bomb. I just.. ugh.

This posting better improve. Seriously.

Asuka has a point, and I agree. The posting is lacking.

Improve posts, or I will be forced to cut you from the RP. I didn't create this to have it swarmed with low quality posts and posts that make no sense. This is not a low-end RP, and those who treat it as one won't stay in this.

I'll just say the names of people who need to improve. Agent Retrospect, Neko_Oni, and FIRE_FLY (well, your profiles), improve your posts.

Here's a helpful hint; this is not Naruto. You are not super powerful ninjas, and you aren't facing people who haven't fought before. You're facing SWAT, armed and trained Terrorists, S.F.U. (which are NEVER to be taken lightly), normal Police, and the Shadow Guard.

You don't sit around in a combat zone, you move. If you sit in a car, they will kill you. If you stay out in the open, you're dead from a sniper. The City is constantly fighting, regardless of area, the Empire State Building is just the center for now.

So please, improve your posts. I don't want people to start leaving this, especially people who are good at RPing.

Somebody (many thanks to you) pointed out to me that there is a post that is way too short for an IC post, which has a default limit of two decent paragraphs. Meaning the post in question only has a few sentences. I don't think I need to point out which, and that it better be lengthened or I will delete the post.

Just a warning, I don't like it when the RP forum rules are ignored, or seemed to have gone unread.

Alright, one more shot. That's it.

That means have a bad post, or ignore the rules one more time, and you're gone. I'm unhappy that it's come to this point, but it has. I don't like when people leave my RPs, especially when they are GOOD Roleplayers.

And I like it less when a MODERATOR who is also a good RPer has to come in here and reprimand people. I take it as a personal insult.

On other, more positive news, I'll have a new post by tommorow.

EDIT/ANNOUNCEMENT:

The S.F.U. has entered the building! They're are NPC, and if you manage to kill one, then you're probably either a Shadow Guard, or you're being unrealistic. This is excluding Snipers, but be warned! They do not die easily!

To back up the point, the reason i havent been here is because the RP was getting silly and i'd totally lost interest. I mean, Sayuri - my character, is human. A bullet to the brain means he is dead. So, thats quite a motivation for him not to go around like a maniac, setting buildings on fire with explosives, hiding in an armoured vehicle (which somebody else would want for obvious reasons), and so on. I dont wanna see this RP die, but if it does i'll simply bugger off and do a different RP with Vladimir and Asuka.

God, this is a depressing weekend. I lost EVERY game for lacrosse.

At least Vali is being nice. Thank you for being a good person. Imma go post in Nocturne now.

Nothing new until somebody else posts.
