Soldiers of Fortune

Overview

”Like city lights, receding”

A role-play based in a post-industrial dystopian version of Earth, “Terra”, relying heavily on cyberpunk elements particularly around social order with hints of cybernetics, robotics, cyber organisms. The role-play looks to avoid the typical online setting of the genre focusing more on the human aspect of it who live in a high tech-low life world of computers, technology and corruption. Mega-corporations have become governments and control almost all aspects of life holding political, social, military and economic power. Our characters will take on the roles of mercenaries, from cold, calculated hit-men for hire to lawful bounty hunters and everything in between. Hired by, private or progressing their own agenda, ranked by a notoriety system also effectively working as a karma system.

Notoriety system
\[i][b]-10-[/b]9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 [b]10[/b][/i]/

*The notoriety system works like karma systems seen implemented into games. It’ll heavily influence how you are perceived by both other players and NPCs, as well as the consequences of your actions.
-10 = Chaotic
-5 = Neutral-Chaotic
0 = Neutral
+5 = Lawful-Neutral
+10 = Lawful

-10 to +10 Hitman/Bounty Hunter

The more contracts/bounties the higher ranking, notoriety measured by means of kill/capture. Example. Killing a Top 5 politician or apprehending a high-ranking criminal will earn you a lot more notoriety than a target of lesser note or stature.

Rules

1- All Guild rules apply.
2- GM or co-GM's word is final.
3- No flaming in the OOC, if you're having a disagreement keep it to PM and if you can't do that, get out.
4- Don't God-Mod or otherwise be a dick. It's kind to be kind.
5- If you're not going to be able to keep up to the posting standard (2-4 paragraphs every 3 days), let us know why. Real life happens, we get it.
6- In relation to number 5 please tell us if you're leaving/dropping the RP and don't just up and vanish without a reason. Thanks.
7- Have Fun!

”Big Brother is watching you.”

2302. Terra (Formerly known as Earth). Population – 11 Billion. Society has moved on from production of goods and onto the production of services, ending the era of industrialization. More so than ever before in human history knowledge is power in a world ran by ideas. Cybernetics while still in an early stage are beginning to be implemented more and more but have not yet made themselves commonplace most often related to military personnel or gang members who have gotten hold of the technology over the black market. Vast mega-cities reign over the majority of the Earth leaving little natural space on land mass other than a few pockets and artificial habitats, most commonly parks in districts and those with a more scientific or practical function like timber farms (Trees grown en masse for the purpose of producing timber). Mega-corporations control society much like a government an example of one of the more prominent being Eurocorp. Other notable mentions include JPN-22 and Nova INC among many more. Surprisingly mobile phones, and computers have not become a thing of the past although have advanced technologically to becoming an absolute necessary part of life and has revolutionized how consumers act with the digital world. Humans have been divided into two categories by man-made evolution that far overshadows and outweighs simply male and female but not Human and Cyborg. The latter being those who make use of permanent augmented cybernetics such as artificial body parts often designed to carry out specific functions. Cyborg is a broad generalization as there are varying degrees from minor augmentation to those who are arguably more machine than human. The societal shift has lead to a difference in views on cybernetics many seeing as unnatural who stand opposed on differing scales of radicalism while the same scale also applies to the other side. Most mercenaries are hired by private corporations for espionage and assassination as well as security detail work among other career opportunities. Outside of this there are a number of mercenaries who work privately with hit-men and bounty hunters having become well paid jobs where the work was constant and the rewards easy to reap. It has also been known for mercenaries to join social activists as well as movements both social or political using their talents to further said ideology or mission.

Setting

With the handover of power from the traditional political governments to Mega-corporations, countries ceased to exist. A process that took a century to complete transformed previously defined borders. Continents became countries headed by that regions specific corporation, mainland Europa (where our story is based) governed by Eurocorp, North America and South America split into Nova and Solace, Asia splintered and divided into a number of smaller corporations working as a conglomerate with notable mentions; Indocorp, JPN-22, Korparat18 (KORPO) to name a few.

Districts

The old countries of Europe morphed and shifted to become Districts with vast mega-cities interconnected spanning the continent. Infrastructure and improvements in public transport networks and mechanics has made getting anywhere in the entire sovereignty of Eurocorp reachable with relative ease and efficiency. Many districts are heavily bordered  by law enforcement who are ever present at crossing zones, checking relevant documents and searching for contraband.

The most heavily bordered zones are those separating West and East Europe, influence from Korporat 18 in many previously Eastern European countries  had affected numerous aspects of living. Differing laws on cybernetics, firearms, and in some districts racial profiling warrant the wall that runs across the continent relatively similar to old borders, not only law enforcement but military presence is often seen here in the interests of Eurocorp.

Europa is split into 38 districts of differing status and accessibility.

Races

They cyborg would not recognize the Garden of Eden; it is not made of mud and cannot dream of returning to dust.

Human
Unmodified, Jack-of-all-trades, regular everyday humans. The way nature intended is what a minority of this social group will tell you. Someone who has not undergone cybernetic modification or augmentation of any kind. It is debatable whether or not those who have needed cybernetics for severe, life-saving medical cases are Human or Cyborg which links deeply with the social construct of identity.

Cyborg
Nothing is certain and everything can be altered, even the human body. Flesh and bone have become just as malleable as data.The more advanced individual components of the body can be replaced or upgraded by surgical procedure, just like the components of any other machine. Some splinter groups within this wider group despise the human body’s physical constraints and discover freedom in its abandonment. The human body has become seen as a shell independent and detachable from personality and mind. While roughly 60% of the world’s population are Cyborg by definition the broad category covers those with minimal augmentation and only about 30% of the world’s population being considered ‘heavily modified.’

Ethereal[non-playable]
An exclusive caste in society forming a ruling elite. Urban myth and legend has developed this class group into something God-like, more legend than human leading to the name Ethereal. They are a private group who keep out of public light and sit higher than the heads of the Mega-corporations. A sort of ‘silent investor’ in this world.

Factions

This section will be added to as the role-play progresses.

Eurocorp -Europa's governing body, mega-corporation, conglomerate responsible for political, social, military and economic power. Agent's of Eurocorp act as eyes and ears in a grimey side of business. Eurocorp is responsible for a large portion of the world's cybernetics research and development. Governs the EPA and EDF, there is nothing higher in Europa than the mysterious Eurocorp.

Unit BLCK- The EPA's (Europa Policing Authority) elite, heavily armoured and heavily armed task-forces who are trained to act efficiently as stand-alone operatives made only even more deadly in a team Unit BLCK, BLCK or B-Unit deal with any and all major crimes that involved the unlawful use, theft or crimes committed with the aid of cybernetics. B-Unit operatives utilize a multitude of latest weaponry and body armour technology. Their exoskeleton suits black a namesake of the task-force.

EDF - Europa Defence Forces, the military branch of Eurocorp responsible for military action, resolution and conflict domestic or foreign. Eastern Europan's are banned from rising past the rank of sergeant in the EDF for fear and security against Korporat18 espionage. Most commonly seen in public in Europa at heavy border points, particularly access points linking west and east Europa. EDF covers, armed forces, naval and air forces.

17DEM (17 District Equality Movement) is a politically charged social activist group known for their violence as much as the political prowess of it's silent leaders. Labelled as 'terrorists' by Eurocorp in recent years, 17DEM has taken to a more reserved guerrilla stance on engaging the enemy. Groups are constantly warring against both EPA and EDF in the streets of districts all over Europa on a regular occurrence. The group demand that the borders that separate not only east and west Europa should be removed but that the walls and 'hard borders' should be immediately removed as well allowing free travel of all Europa citizens under general human rights. A term that 17DEM members would argue has lost all meaning in this new day and age.

Weapons

Weapons of 2302 come in various forms, shapes and with firearms are primarily either conventional shell weaponry or energy based weapons. Weapon mods have become almost a necessity to those who can afford the credits. Sights, Consoles, various under slung equipment and other performance enhancing modifications have have become commonplace especially in this line of work.

•	Shell weaponry- Conventional. While firing mechanisms differ around shell firearms, gunpowder ignites with the explosion propelling the ammunition out of the barrel. The used casing is ejected so the next can be primed.

•	Energy- Classifies laser
Laser generally speaking shoots a beam of destructive energy or light to hit reflective targets. Powered by batteries this takes away the need to reload as often. However, due to the intense energy drain of powering this weapon, a battery needs to be replaced every 30-80 shots depending on the weapon type. Considerably more than conventional small arms. Laser technology has it’s own problems and while manufacturer’s claim the battery packs are completely waterproof this is not always the case. Cheaper models have been known not to fire on occasion or even occasionally backfire, severely burning unprotected skin.

•	Energy – Classifies Electrothermal.
Electrothermal weaponry is rare and expensive, namely because of how dangerous it can be in the wrong hands. It primarily serves two functions to either seriously burn and potentially kill living organisms, this is also known as plasma and the secondary more secretive function with the use of ionized projectiles with sufficient velocity to cause impact damage and also fry mechanical targets, like cybernetics. Major downfalls of the weaponry are it’s extremely limited usage before overheating and requiring cool down. Also prone to needing repairs and damage to the model can end up catastrophic results for the user.

Weapons can be broken down into several categories;
•	Pistols, any single shot, semiautomatic or fully automatic firearm that can be easily fired with relative accuracy (depending on mods), using one hand.
•	Shotguns, commonly stripped back to slide/pump action and semi-automatic, primarily fires buckshot and breaching rounds. Brutal in close quarters.
•	Rifles, include assault, carbine, and marksman rifles most effective at a medium range.
•	SMG, or sub-machine gun, fires either semi or fully automatically at rapid speeds generally use pistol ammo/cartridges/batteries.
•	Long-Range, Sniper rifles, a specialized weapon that is impractical for everyday use or CQB but brutally efficient at killing from a distance. Often used for a more stealthy approach.
•	Heavy, is a broad category including special weapons not for everyday use, missiles, grenades, electrothermal cannons, etc.
•	Melee, sword, daggers, knives, all that good stuff, anything used for fighting melee or hand-to-hand.

Weapon modifications or MODs categorize everything from custom grips and folding stocks to sights to grenade launchers and electrothermal under slung components. While there is a huge number of modifications they are largely reserved for Corporation Agents, Military, and Law-Enforcement in an effort to keep ahead of criminals and other movements within society that get their hands on illegal firearms. However, the lack of MODs available to those willing to look leaves an open business endeavor for the black market which through it’s networks can get you a wide variety of goodies for your toys, prepare to part with your credits.

Characters

Please post characters here pre=approval. Character tab is for APPROVED CHARACTERS only.

Jobs
For the majority you’re free to make your own jobs as you go along. Occasionally a job will appear that is designed to get anywhere from a couple players to everyone in on trying to nab the reward. These will appear on the Jobs board section of the IC.

Loadouts
Be reasonable with the gear, weapons and cybernetics you kit your character out with. Remember this is a story-based RP that will develop over time. It’s not a race to get the biggest boom-stick or niftiest MOD or prototype cybernetics. Patience.

Nationality
There’s no real tie to any old world patriotism other than in small groups of radicals. If you’re going to give your character a reason to identify as something other than from Europa then please make it a good or interesting reason.

Bio

Name: Raelyn "Rae" Callahan

Age: 27

Sex: Female

Gender: Female | She/Her

Notoriety: -5 (Neutral-Chaotic)

Appearance: Long red curly hair, fair skin, slender athletic build, 167 cm tall. Generally seen wearing darker, muted colors. She prefers to keep a rather plain appearance. Not much about her stands out other than her hair. Hazel eyes.  

Personality:  Rae will do anything for the right price, and she will make sure it is done right. Her personal philosophy devalues those around her and removes the cumbersome hindrances of empathy and regret. She firmly believes that after the series of events that has led her to where she is, the world has gone to shit and there is little, if any, redeemable quality of humanity as a whole. 
She typically retains a calm-cool-and-collected disposition but can also be very cruel to those who do not appease her. She is highly analytical, constantly scrutinizing for weaknesses in those around her and deciding how she would exploit those weaknesses if the need were to arise. 
Provided there is a big enough payout involved, Rae will execute any task she is given without question, and in that way she could come across as subservient. However, that could not be further from the truth; She is very stubborn outside of her work and at times tends to overcompensate when attempting to prove herself to others as more than just a harmless little girl-- although at times this assumption can work in her favor.
Despite what seems to be a very abrasive personality, those who get on her good side could not ask for a closer ally. She protects those few that she does care about fiercely. While holding a lot of personal cynicism, she is still quick to cheer up those around her when spirits are low-- even if only to avoid being brought down herself. Her sense of humor can only be described as deadpan, and she is highly amused by simply screwing with people for the sake of screwing with them. Unfortunately, she is not always entirely skilled in deciding when to apply this, and it has often gotten her into trouble. 

Pragmatic | Calculating | Maternal | Candid

Bio:  From a very young age, Rae was forced to fend for herself entirely. In order to survive, she started off pick-pocketing, and initially was terrible at it. After several nights spent in jail cells and taking a few batons to the head, she eventually began to pick up on stealth and situational awareness; Always taking in her surroundings, observing every camera, every pair of eyes, and every piece of technology in sight and potentially out of sight. It was a process of trial and error, and she is lucky she lived to make it past her teenage years with the amount of trouble that she got herself into over the years. 
One law enforcement officer, however, saw the value in her skillset and enlisted her to perform jobs for him. These tasks mostly involved stealing valuables and disarming security devices. Unfortunately, one job that she was assigned -- a seemingly easy one, the theft of a high-tech watch that hadn't yet officially hit the market-- proved to be more dangerous than anticipated. The "victim" was someone that had caught wind of her activities, someone that was prepared, someone that was just waiting for the right time. Someone that was involved in the gang-like activities of a major corporation. Before she could take off the watch, he had a gun held discreetly to her side and ordered her to continue walking. She was taken to an abandoned warehouse where she was badly beaten, and she was fully convinced she was going to be killed, but they had other plans for her. She was handed a gun and ordered to kill whoever had enlisted her to steal from them. If she did as they asked, her life would be spared. This was the first and only time she ever hesitated to complete a job. 
Before the evening was over, the officer was dead, and Rae thought it was all over. But things had only just begun. The group (which I haven't come up with a name for yet) brought her back in and armed her, training her in two specific skills: long-range stealth kills and close-range undetectable melee. They were fully intent on creating an assassin, and the number of credits pouring into Rae's account made her more than happy to comply with whatever she was told to do.

District: DST-27-WEST

Weapon(s): Strongly prefers melee, keeping an assortment of blades. Occasionally will use a silenced handgun if the situation permits it. On very very very rare occasion (like killing someone higher up with lots of security) would resort to a sniper rifle though it is risky and she prefers to avoid it. 
((this is just an idea and completely subject to your approval)) Also keeps a small pen-like laser that is diffused so that it only temporarily disables whoever is "shot" with it (it's usually held to the neck or temple) so that she can move them to a different location to finish the job. This would only be used with individuals of massive size that she can not take on herself, or individuals who possess very dangerous weapons that are not worth getting too close to.

Armour: 
 
Armor would typically include bulletproof vest, during jobs she would wear a hood and mask to conceal her appearance. Wears gloves and steel-toed boots on a regular day-to-day basis. 

Cybernetics:  Both eyes have been replaced with cybernetics that can more accurately detect distance, environmental conditions (wind, temperature) speed of moving objects and some other basic things. The functions are very basic and not always entirely accurate seeing as they were installed earlier in her life and she has not yet been able to afford to upgrade them. 

Account Balance :2500creds

Other: Has no living family that she knows of, has very little proper education although she has pursued some of her own research over the years. Not much of a moral compass in the way of picking sides. Has no problem detouring off-job just to ruin the day of someone who looked at her wrong.

@SmileyJaws just an OOC note this is somewhat still under construction as I'm not entirely happy with some of the phrasing but this is the basics of the character. I will go through and add some details and such but please just let me know if the general concept is okay!

So each player is independent of the others? We could theoretically go in five different directions?

Bump.

CS form updated to include notoriety and armour.

Photobucket is down for maintenance so the pictures aren't showing.

@LetsFly Accepted, just update the CS and add it to the character tab.

Name:Yuri Müller
 Age: 26 
 Sex: Male 
 Gender: Male | He/Him 
 Notoriety +3 

 Appearance: 5'11", athletic build. He has brown hair usually tapered, depending on light his eyes can appear anywhere from an icy blue to a dull grey and a medium complexion. Rarely grows stubble out past a week or two. Minor scars to hands, fingers and knuckles gathered since childhood. Identifying features include two tattoos; left forearm wrap, neck 
 Personality: Yuri's apathetic side can lead him to seem indifferent on first glance. More often than not he shows a absence of interest or concern about emotional, spiritual, social or even physical life. He tends to repress feelings often not felt as strongly as other individuals, a defense mechanism brandished by the 'toughen up' attitude accompanying emotional hardship. Professionals in the past have referred to Yuri as 'troubled'. Compulsory psychological evaluations from time spent incarcerated put him on the spectrum of personality disorders - labeling him a 'secret schizoid.'
His personality is hidden behind an outward engaging appearance, following Klein's classification of 'secret schizoids', who present themselves as socially available, interested, engaged and involved in interacting yet remain emotionally withdrawn and sequestered within the safety of the internal world.
Yuri is a thorough individual in any endeavor he undertakes, a calculated individual who is precise and extremely attentive to accuracy and detail while doing business. Often working on his own intuition Yuri is known to be instinctive although this lends itself to a greater scheme of things to a plan.
Not the type to be afraid of getting his hands dirty Yuri is an adaptable individual his ability to do so has been nurtured from his path where life hasn't always been so peachy. 
Adaptable – Cold – Thorough - 'Unstable'

 Bio: 
Early Life
 Born and raised in District 11 of Europa, a place heavily influenced by Eastern Korporat18 from societal view to crime and punishment. A relatively poor District, one of the last industrial areas that suffered greatly from closure of all but one or two Factorums. Presently the business and inner section of District 11 is advancing and caught up to much of Europa but the area is still scarred by shanty towns built off of the high rise residential blocs that cover much of the districts outer and suburban boundaries.
Yuri's memories of his father, a career criminal, are distant and faded. Yuri was six years old when his dad was shot down in a firefight with the district's police. All he knows is that a warrant over black market related violations escalated into a chase and climaxed with a stand-off at abandoned Factorum A. His mother continued to raise Yuri for the next eight years but her declining mental state and inability to provide lead Yuri to stand up and take their quality of life into his own hands, returning one day to find his mother, Kaatje swinging from the light fixture over the disturbed coffee table. During her last few months she had seen Yuri turning into his father, this shifted her mental state over the edge and triggered her suicide.
An underhanded arrangement lead to Yuri being able to continue to rent the apartment from it's landlord. He had the credits, no questions asked right? Aged sixteen his dabbling in criminal endeavors evolved when he ran in with a local gang whose main area of expertise lied in smuggling and distribution, specifically home brewed CHEMS, black market firearms, gambling and sex. Over the course of the next three years Yuri had his run-ins with the law but his smarts had always either gotten him away safely or found with nothing.
Aged twenty-two the opportunity of a lifetime arose for Yuri, a get rich quick scheme that would effectively get those involved a get out clause to a new life. One job was all it would take, hijack Eurocorp identity technology, the ability to to produce and theoretically with some tweaking change ones credentials to whatever desired. The possibilities were endless if this payed off, there was an opening on the market for something new and needed, simple supply and demand. Yuri imagined making his lot and getting the hell out of District 11, leave behind the memories and to his mind - the demons that had been haunting him since day one.

Incarceration
Yuri was unsure of where it all went wrong, but he knew the risks. Maybe it was the luck of the cards a lot of the heist was faded and blurred. It had gotten crazy quick, unlike anything he'd experienced in his life. Out of the five operators involved in the execution of the job only the two had survived. Dimitri and Lacey were both gunned down in the initial fire fight, Jodie had been with them all up until the final stand-off. There was a twang of irony with the outlook of the situation as three armed citizens took on the force of District 11's police. As they were apprehended, Yuri remembered surrendering along with Christov before being taken down and arrested, a brutal beating was sustained which required medical attention. Psychological evaluation got Yuri moved to a ward where most mentally unstable and criminally insane were housed, separated from the general prison populace and medicated, some more heavily than others.
Yuri's personality directly conflicted with many others incarcerated, the death of Dimitri inside the general populace had made way to Yuri's ears, he'd been ganged up on by a gang on the inside over differences in ideology. He decided then that he was going to make an escape or stay here sectioned, imprisoned and detained for the rest of his days. He was not going to become the victim of experiments disguised as medical tests being carried out on selective mental patients. Unable to rest for more than an hour or two at a time Yuri spent night and day racking his brain but couldn't come up with a solid plan.
The answer seemingly came as a stroke of luck, a series of events that lead to a beneficial coincidence. During a group therapy session Yuri lost his cool, "Is this some kind of sick joke?" He asked, riling up the other patients, he stood up to confront the orderlies before being accidentally shoved through a glass pane dividing the room from the corridor. He awoke later in his bed, his mind began to clear from sedative medication which through the hectic incident had not been administered. Tied up and without side effects he shook loose an undetected shard of glass that had been dug into him from behind his vest. His heart was pounding inside his chest and with a struggle he managed to cut himself free of his restraints and fell down beside his bed where had to gather his thoughts. It was time to allow intuition to kick in. He stood up and pulled down the ceilings metal mesh climbing his way through spider webs in the dark vents, slowly trying to keep as quiet as a mouse. Exiting his way down a flight of steps he came across the staff locker room and ditched his hospital gown for one of the orderly's clothes but held onto the hospital gown in order to ditch it where the dogs wouldn't be able to find the scene. Caught red-handed he wasn't ready to give up and proceeded to fight his way to the outside, feeling the cold wind on his face before finally being tasered and apprehended.

'Freedom'
Yuri spent the next six months kept in solitary confinement, never seeing another soul the whole time other than a monthly psych evaluaton, never allowed out, kept alive by sustenance but was this really life? When approached by Korporat18 officials he was made an offer. He could choose to spend the rest of his days here, best case scenario returning to a normal room, same routine in and out or he could work for Korporat as an unaffiliated agent, taking on dirty and questionable jobs as well as anything that might have been in the hidden interests of the corporation. He agreed.

Name: Kaytlin 'Kaylee' Weiss 
 Age: 21 
 Sex: Female 
 Gender: Female | She/Her 
 Notoriety: -3 
 Appearance: Kaytlin stands just shy of 5'4 and has a slim build. Her hair is almost always dyed platinum blonde and shaved at one side, swept and left hanging on the other and back. Her face has been moderately enchanced as seen in picture. No tattoos or piercings but some scarification on the right shoulder from her teenage years. 
 Personality: Kaytlin is a complex creature, free-spirited from birth the world as it is today dampened her spirits, leaving her with a pessimistic and cynical outlook of society. Her lack of trust for strangers can lead her to come across as quite mean, being mean verbally also one of her main defense mechanisms for conflicting with others. Although it takes time to gain Kaylee's trust if you do you'll forever have someone willing to have your back even if she wouldn't refer to you personally as a friend, she is fiercely loyal to those she has the time for. Despite appearance and outward persona she is a measured individual careful about what she says and who to. She is considered and restrained in her true opinion and thoughts.   
Loyal – Mean – Measured – Pessimist

 Bio: Kaylee's been fascinated by cybernetics and augmentation since her teens, her parents a middle-class family in one of the western districts were on the pro-human side of the spectrum that saw cyborgs as lesser and did not want their daughter being influenced by it. However, in the modern world it was near impossible for her not to see it everywhere unless they wanted to lock her away with no technology. She'd always felt different, probably no thanks to her families social circles and ideologies, as soon as she turned eighteen she got her first bit of augmentation, having already dabbled in scarification, when her parents saw it they all but disowned Kaytlin who was now having to undergo a baptism by fire in the real world without the aid of her parents.
Kaytlin sold herself and 'performed' for the credits she needed to keep herself alive having found work at a seedy cyber club in the downtown area of district 30 which she continued for a year until a better opportunity arose. One night when the club was being raided a rival business owner's thugs, Kaytlin proved her worth after taking up her soon to be shotgun for the first time from behind one of the bars. They fought off the raiders but in the process lost a few people, including the bartender which is where she got to keep the gun. After her valiance in the face of danger she was introduced to the syndicate life. Since then she has spent the last two years taking on odd jobs for credits, from robbery to bloody murder. 
 District: DST-30-WEST 
 Weapon(s): 

Loud. Messy. Personal. Everything Kaylee loves in a weapon, she'll switch-up depending on the task but it is hard to separate her from her baby.
 

Kaytlin's melee weapon of choice.

 Armour: 


Helmet as seen without hood.
 
 Cybernetics: Kaylee is moderately augmented on the neck, head and upper back. Her sense of hearing has been improved a great deal by the cybernetics installed to her left ear, the kit rigs back around the neck as seen in the picture providing support running down her spine of her upper back. 
 Account Balance: 2500creds 
Other: Kaytlin dreams of one day owning her own club in an upper area of Europa. 

Sorry it took me a while, how's this? Used the pictures you linked :P

Ideally looking for two more characters before starting IC posts, the rest can join in when they're ready then.

Factions have been updated. Reapers have been replaced by B-Unit, new factions added. More to come.

Factions

This section will be added to as the role-play progresses.

Eurocorp -Europa's governing body, mega-corporation, conglomerate responsible for political, social, military and economic power. Agent's of Eurocorp act as eyes and ears in a grimey side of business. Eurocorp is responsible for a large portion of the world's cybernetics research and development. Governs the EPA and EDF, there is nothing higher in Europa than the mysterious Eurocorp.

Unit BLCK- The EPA's (Europa Policing Authority) elite, heavily armoured and heavily armed task-forces who are trained to act efficiently as stand-alone operatives made only even more deadly in a team Unit BLCK, BLCK or B-Unit deal with any and all major crimes that involved the unlawful use, theft or crimes committed with the aid of cybernetics. B-Unit operatives utilize a multitude of latest weaponry and body armour technology. Their exoskeleton suits black a namesake of the task-force.

EDF - Europa Defence Forces, the military branch of Eurocorp responsible for military action, resolution and conflict domestic or foreign. Eastern Europan's are banned from rising past the rank of sergeant in the EDF for fear and security against Korporat18 espionage. Most commonly seen in public in Europa at heavy border points, particularly access points linking west and east Europa. EDF covers, armed forces, naval and air forces.

17DEM (17 District Equality Movement) is a politically charged social activist group known for their violence as much as the political prowess of it's silent leaders. Labelled as 'terrorists' by Eurocorp in recent years, 17DEM has taken to a more reserved guerrilla stance on engaging the enemy. Groups are constantly warring against both EPA and EDF in the streets of districts all over Europa on a regular occurrence. The group demand that the borders that separate not only east and west Europa should be removed but that the walls and 'hard borders' should be immediately removed as well allowing free travel of all Europa citizens under general human rights. A term that 17DEM members would argue has lost all meaning in this new day and age.

@SmileyJaws What do you think?

Name: Alyxi 'Alyx' Ray Johnson 
 Age: 22 
 Sex: Female 
 Gender:  Female 
 Notoriety: -2 
 Appearance: Alyxi stands at 5'5'' straight up.  
 Personality: Alyxi tends to be very mysterious and dark. Somwhat heartless when it comes to interactions with people she just meets. A cocky, sarcastic, very sassy female you have in the palm of your hand if you try and get tied up with her and her life style. She might look like a porcalien doll though she likes to play dirty and get straight down in the mud if you piss her off or get in her way when it comes to a job. Alyxi can be a very kind and caring person - only to some. It can take a lot to piss her off though she does have a temper - a bad temper if you hit her buttons just right. She doesn't care to show her emotions though you will never see her cry unless you walk into a bad situation or are caught up in it with her.  
Optimistic – Hateful/Heartless – Humor – Addicted

 Bio: Alyxi was born into a very high-ranking social, business and money family. Her parents were more pro cybernetics then pro human. They were greedy and selfish people. Alyxi never got to see her father except at night when he came home screaming, complaining and stressed out. She was in an abusive background with her parents. Which gave her a cold heart. "If this is love...I never want to love" she told her mother. At the age of six-teen she got kicked out and moved into her Aunt and Uncles house. A year later ended up back into her parents house. 
They married her off to a man named Kenedy Otter. Alyxi didn't love him at all. She faked her happiness and love for him as by day when he was gone. She went to her hobby being a hit-man though by night when he slept she spoke to a man named Ryan Latvic which was a mid-class man pro-human. They fell in love and Kenedy figured out and put a hit on her secret lover's head. When she figured out Kenedy killed her love. It made her grow heartless and brutal. She murdered him making it look like an accident. Crying hysterically and gaining all rights to his house, business, and money. She laughed at how pitiful her ex-husband was. Though she wore her black clothes for months putting on an act acting like nothing was wrong. At age 21 she started taking her hobby to a whole new level. It was her job now. Ever since she has been being a hit-man. 
 District:  DST-13-EAST  

 Not a loud shot. Also long range so she doesn't have to give off her position. A clean get away. 

A nice gun if you're looking for a little loud - a lot actual and automatic maybe.

Poisoness and already slices meat very clean. The blue glow indicates the poison has been activated.

 The armor allows her to quickly and flexibly be ready for anything. Not bullet proof but the helmet.  

 Cybernetics: None 
 Account Balance: 2500creds 
[b]Other:  You can find Alyxi if you know the right people.

Looks good, just a couple of things to think about; snipers are a very specialized weapon. They're great to use on occasion but you may want to have a think for something more versatile. There's no reason not to use a sniper every now and then.

Otherwise stick it in a hider and slap it into the character section and I'll put it in approved. Accepted.
