The world government vs. a gathering of rebels, "terrorist", activists, hacktivists, conspiracy theorists, and the like, who needed to face the overwhelming power the world government had. Tapping into forces of the supernatural, gaining some evolution through the black market along with weaponry, this was what gave the Revolution the edge in the war. After the war, the world wasn't fully apocalyptic like what people thought but there were places that were no longer inhabitable. Still though...throughout the world, there were still full functioning cities but because of the government's influences no longer having a total hold anymore, most cities have become self governed. One of these cities is where I live....Grand Haven (A gritty city that's about twice the size of new york). [hider=Grand Haven] [img]http://www.desktopwallpaperhd.net/wallpapers/9/6/gotham-city-wallpaper-97334.jpg[/img] [/hider] My name is....well....you can just call me Blaque.

Physically, he's athletically fit. He's at Olympic level with his physical attributes and skilled with armed and unarmed combat. he uses Budo, Krav maga, and Wushu fighting styles. [u]Weapon(s)/Item(s):[/u] [hider=Equilizer (Will look to find a better pic)] [img]http://pre07.deviantart.net/a120/th/pre/f/2011/004/f/8/n_o_m_a_d____handgun_concept_by_peterku-d36ffcd.jpg[/img] [/hider] [b]The Equalizer -[/b] A fire arm effected by interdimensional energies, enabling the weapon to change the properties of the ammunition used in it. The firearm is near sentience as it bonds with a user. The user's fingerprints is memorized by the gun itself so that no one can use it besides the person who currently uses it unless they are no longer living, nullifying their bond. The gun takes 9mm magazines and as said, can change the property of the ammo upon firing. The user can call for whatever ammo he wishes to fire if needed for a certain task and if the gun is able to swift to that certain property. [hider=Various Ammo Type] The Equalizer can use standard ammunition. It's by the use of calling forth what ammo type you need is when it can change. Just like any other gun, once the magazine have been used up, you'll need another to continue. Each magazine contains 19 rounds. The Equalizer can also use a 33 round extended magazine for rapid fire. (With the 33 round magazine, the gun can shift into rapid fire mode). This is the list of bullet types that can be used by this gun that have been discovered so far. ~Ice: when called upon, the gun gets a bit chilled as it fires bullet that can gradually freeze that it hits. ~phaser: When called, the bullet's property change to that of phasing through solid objects to reach a target through stealth and without warning. The gun's color shifts into white. ~Silver: Can change the bullet to silver in order to harm werewolves or creatures effected by it. The gun's color turns silver. ~UV: Bullet can change into that of having the ultra violet rays to harm a vampire. The gun becomes a bit warmer ~Para: Bullet can change it's properties to harm the paranormal. the gun becomes lighter in weight. ~Breaker: a bullet with as much power and brings about as much damage as a shotgun or shield/bullet proof vest breaker/piercing bullet. the gun gets a little heavier. ~Explode: A bullet that gains the properties of a grenade launcher ammo. Often a surprising shot. The gun is about 3 times it's own weight. ~Sniper: With the help of the gun's barrel shifting to become about a foot and a half, the bullet can change to travel several hundred feet away. ~Rubber: There are times where one needs to be brought down but not killed. The bullet's property can change to rubber and cause a huge amount of pain to stop the individual without causing a severe wound. The handle becomes a bit rubbery. ~Toxin: One of the deadliest but not used often bullet that can change to that of becoming a neurotoxin bullet that an poison the target but if the antidote cannot be found or given in time, the person could die an agonizing death. The barrel starts to corrode a little. (More to come soon) [/hider] [b]The Cutting Star-[/b] Dubbed as Anti-Metal, the black blade sword is made from a cosmic meteorite (Similar to vibranium) that was forged into the weapon that it is today. This sword has a special property/ability. It produces vibrations of a specific wavelength that break down the molecular bonds in other metals. If a metal is imbued with energy or another substance or perhaps using the same anti-metal, it can nullify the sword's effect. [hider=The Cutting Star] [img]http://www.trueswords.com/images/prod/dragon_engraved_katana_sword_black_blade.jpg[/img] [/hider] [u]Personality:[/u] Calm, cool, and collected but borderline crazy. Blaque has a strong will and courage to face dangers that most wouldn't dare face. He has a since of justice and duty as he will find what it takes to get a job done and find the right people to do it. He feels that he can profit for his services. He values the abilities of others he seeks out or works with, showing his faith in his comrades. [u]Bio:[/u] Blaque was born several years before the war between the UN and New Revolution, when tensions were growing and the establishment of an opposing force against the UN was formed. He grew up in a working class family, operating a small store his mother and grandparents owned. Not long after the end of The World Civil War, a new world awakened around him where the norm was...almost obsolete. Because of the Revolutionary forces, interdimensional energies came about. The supernatural grew....magic awakened in many, people were evolving into a new subspecies that had incredible abilities. It was like the cosmos warped reality itself. Blaque saw as everything around him changed. There were no world leaders but he witnessed more local leaders rising to govern themselves. With a change and turf wars coming about in Grand Haven, there was an incident that involved Blaque and his family that led to their deaths excluding Blaque himself which would change his life. During the turf wars, Blaque's father, who was a police officer, was killed by an individual who seemingly used magic on him. His mother, killed from a deadly gas weapon. His sister, brutally raped by some males that was spliced with animal DNA and killed her. Blaque was nearly killed by a meta who could shape shift and heal rapidly, trying to defend himself against this person that attacked him one evening while closing up shop. He was saved by a blind man who had radar senses, precognition, and great physical conditions. Being trained and taught from the blind man about having to fight fire with fire and how to go about handling this world and the massive city that went straight to hell, Blaque made it his mission to protect those who can't defend themselves from the hordes of monsters, ability users, gang members, magic casters, warriors, mercenaries, cyborgs and so on. After finishing his training, he created a company where he'd find people willing to fight, protect, stop the ones who brutally rules these streets. If there was anything he could do, that would be to stop the chaos and bring some form of peace into this titan of a city. Vendetta Inc., The name Blaque will use to clean this city bit by bit. If the police can't do the job, they are the answer. [/hider] When the people of the NR opened a gateway to the weird, others who had nothing to do with the war, went through it gaining skills and weapons of their own. The war of the world was over but here in Grand Haven, the Turf Wars began. several names popped up as to who gained what district. These overseers each having elite associates in their organizations, syndicates, and factions, have these places on lock and enough power to keep others in their territory and their rivals in check. The police suffered during the turf wars. Now numbering at about 100 to close to 200, most are too afraid to fight back against the overwhelming power of these different factions, some are working with the factions, others....dead and some who are still committed, doing what they can in the slums where the lower level crimes are taking place. Civilians have no choice but to either fend for themselves or work under the law of the faction that's running their district. We can't keep living like this. The so-called mayor is not doing anything to help, the police are beaten and anarchy is pretty much the calling now. People are tired of living in fear. That's where you come in. I found you for the purpose of recruiting you into my group. People still need help out there and I feel that with your skills and track record, you can make a difference. With the enemies and extraordinary individuals that will get in our way....do you have what it takes to join and be part of Vendetta inc.? Alright, as of right now, we are caught in the middle of a power struggle in a city between several factions who have control of their own territories. We will have missions that our group will be requested to take. Some missions can come in forms of protecting a person or people, hunting others down, deliveries, and so on. We are a group that brings variety in our organization. There is now job out there that we can't handle. We are not masked heroes nor are we police but we will do what we do best. Let's clean this city.

This mission is delicate and requires a certain kind of tact, gather evidence, protect the snitch and pin the cop with his filth. Mission Duration - Medium Difficulty - 1-3 People [color=red][b][i]Oh How the Tresses Fall!:[/i][/b][/color] A serial killer is on the loose. Thus far he has picked his targets sparingly and carefully but they all have the same trademark features. They are young females who dye their hair. Tattoos and other body modifications are prevalent in these victims but that hasn't been a common feature in all of them. None of the victims have been found alive but all of them have been found. This killer puts them on public display, carved up and covered in shattered glass as if to display a grisly mural. The serial killer is considered extremely dangerous and may have powers to compliment his sick tastes. Track him down or catch him in the act and put a stop to his sick art. Mission Duration - Short Difficulty - 2-6 People [center][h1][color=ed1c24](More will be added soon.)[/color][/h1][/center] [/hider]
