Hey guys, we need to do a little housekeeping. I have been letting some little things slide rule wise, and this message is going to be posted to all of my RPs. Please take a moment to go reread the rules, as I have updated them. However, these are some ones that I particularly want to highlight -
Cases: You have 24 hours to respond or acknowledge in discord that it is your turn. If you go over 24 hours three times, you will be removed from the RP.
Editing: NO ONE is allowed to edit a post without GM permission. I will almost always be online and able to say yes. If I catch you doing this from now on, it's removal from the RP.
Copy + Paste: NO ONE is allowed to copy and paste something from someone else's post. I don't care if it's just one line of dialogue, it's against the rules. Doing this will require an edit of your post or it will be considered invalid.
PG-13: This RP can get gory and be filled with language, but no nudity or sex or anything like that. Fade to black if you have to. If you are uncertain if something crosses the line, ask the GM.
Chat: Remember, you need to check the chat at least once every 1-2 days as I put most of the announcements up there.
Please upvote this in the next 24 hours to let me know that you've read this. If you do not, I will remove you from the RP.
Name: Conrad Wu Aliases: The Magician, The Perfect Distraction Species: Human Powers: None Currently Age: 29 Nationality: British/Chinese (Dual Citizenship) Birthday: July 16, 1991 Birth Place: Hong Kong, China Gender: Male S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy: Operations Qualification: Extensive Training with the Metropolitan Police and Hong Kong PD Years in the Field: 2 years in the Field
Appearance
Height: 6’1 Weight: 230lbs Build: Slim/Athletic Eyes: Brown Hair: Brown Black Skin Tone: Tanned Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Multiple minor scrapes from the usual childhood scrapes, major scar on the back of his neck Personal Style: As far as aesthetically, Conrad dresses to impress and is not afraid to express himself; with his wardrobe generally reflecting his mood for the day. This can range from an old flannel and dirty blue jeans one day to a bright salmon suit jacket and floral shirt the next. Regardless of what he wears, Conrad always accessories with a set of earbuds or headphones so he can live life to his own personal soundtrack. When the job requires, Conrad dresses tactically in lightweight combat gear, disliking heavy clothing, feeling it is far more restrictive than helpful. He keeps his dark hair styled short and on the rarest of occasions can sport some stubble to match but most of the time he is clean shaven.
Psychology
Charismatic * Self Deprecating * Confident * Prideful * Hard Working * Desperate
Sexuality: Bisexual Relationship Status: Single Personality: Conrad is a man who oozes charisma from every pore. He knows who he is, accepts who he is and doesn’t give a damn whether you like it or not. He is flamboyant, charming and totally reeks of awesomeness. A goofball and a self appointed showman, he loves to laugh, make you laugh and then steal your girlfriend or boyfriend while your bent over giggling. In spite of this, people gravitate towards Conrad and love him all the same.
Maybe it’s the confidence or self assured ness but he is always surrounded by people and is very rarely alone. However this could be due in part to his fear of what might just pop into his head should he ever stop long enough to think about the things he’s done. Despite his amenable demeanour, Conrad is a perfect operative, highly capable of doing what needs to be done; his motto in life has always been “play hard, work harder” and more often than not, those closest to him worry that he will work himself into the ground. He is not one to leave something half done or not give one hundred percent and this can often be a downfall as his tunnel vision tends to stop him from seeing the bigger picture.

History
Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: After several years working for the Metropolitan Police and INTERPOL, Conrad was looking for a way out. He had initially planned to go AWOL but on a ferry out of town he was approached by a recruiter who convinced him that his talents would be better suited for more global affairs and soon found himself enrolled at Operation Academy in SHIELD.
General History: Conrad Wu was born on a stormy night in Hong Kong, his mother was working for the British Consulate at the time and his father was a financier. The Wu’s moved around a fair amount for the first few years of Conrad’s life as his mother transferred between Consulates, this allowed for the young boy to develop an early skill for acclimatisation and adaption. The family eventually settled in London, England in the quirky borough of Shoreditch though they still often took trips to Asia to see relatives.
It was very early on in his life that Conrad found his passions in life and they were magic and martial arts. His mother always made a point of her son never forgetting his Chinese roots and so she educated him with traditions, movies and shows. The theatrics of it all were what nurtured his showman like persona. He loved the attention and so pursued every avenue he could think of where he could put on a performance, this ranged from acting, singing, dancing and magic. Conrad's father made sure that despite his carefree demeanour his son stayed disciplined. What little time they spent together involved studying, martial arts, hiking and volunteering. The fact that he ended up being two different people with each parent would help the young man out a lot in the future.
Although performing was his first love, Conrad knew that it wasn’t an assured career so he decided to attend college and university, earning a degree in criminal justice with a minor in psychology before joining the police aged twenty one. He started out as a neighbourhood bobby before eventually getting into the Flying Squad (a special investigation branch). An exemplary record fast tracked Conrad up the ladder before he was recruited by INTERPOL to help investigate Chinese Triads in the UK. His background as a performer and his Asian heritage made him the perfect undercover operative.
Conrad spent over a year in deep cover, dividing his time between China and the UK and doing things he intensely regretted and dare not speak on, all in the name of what the world defines as justice. After finally being pulled out by his handler, Wu was worn down, burnt out and looking to escape. Afraid that he would bring shame to his family if he quit the police, Conrad decided to go AWOL. He found himself on a ferry bound for France when he was approached by a SHIELD recruiter who had been keeping tabs on him. After much consideration he decided that a role as an Agent of SHIELD might just be the role of a lifetime. Once he had graduated from the academy, Conrad was thrown right in the deep end and back into undercover work. It was hard but he realised that it was what he had been put on this earth to do. Someone had to carry the weight so that others could shoot it down.

@BrutalBx Approved. ^_^ Move him over to the CS tab. You can have him be a new transfer to the current team - have him start at the Playground. Agent Abercrombie (played by @FantasyChic) will come to talk to him. I'll send you the link to our discord and back up forum (it's essentially just in case the guild dies, so we don't lose everything).
Name: Marcus Scott Dixon Aliases: Hell Hound Species: Inhuman Powers:
Fire Infusion - Marcus can infuse objects (usually a weapon), beings or powers with fire, empowering and energizing them and allowing him to manipulate their qualities and efficiency and use fire in various ways to attack.
Self Fire Infusuion - By turning his power inward, Marcus can increase his own physical attributes, and gain various fire based attacks.
Age: 32 Nationality: Australian Birthday: October 28, 1987 Birth Place: Townsville, QLD Gender: Male S.H.I.E.L.D. Academy: Operations Qualification: Marcus Dixon was a police officer in Australia before undergoing Terrigenesis. After that, he worked for the Australian Government under a new team specilised in keeping Meta-Humans under control. Years in the Field: Four years
Appearance
Height: 6 FT 1 IN Weight: 77 KG OR 170 POUNDS Build: Athletic, Muscular Eyes: Green. Normally Orange. When using powers Hair: Dark Brown Skin Tone: Slightly tan Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: n/a Personal Style: Hardly original in his style, he often wears a dark coloured cotton T-shirt with jeans when he isn't on duty. He has even been known to wear a leather jacket if the weather calls for it, or if he just wants to bring a little bit of a badass factor to his outfit. He often wears cheap clothes as when he infuses himself with Fire, his own clothes tend to burn off. However, he doesn't wear polyester shirts. He is very distinct in that he only likes pure fabrics, as things like polyester aren't as breathable, and get quite uncomftable in the heat.
Sexuality: Heterosexual Relationship Status: Single and ready to mingle Personality: At his core, Marcus Dixon is a simple man. He knows what he wants, and is willing to do anything to get it. If he doesn't get it, he doesn't become a sore loser. One of his philosophies is that if something was meant to happen, then it will. Try hard so you deserve it to happen. If it didn't happen, its not your fault. The universe just had other plans. For the most part, he can get really into what he is doing, even if he always has a happy go lucky attitude.
Coming from a small town cop background, he doesn't really look for creative or eccentric ways to solve problems, often just going with the easiest or most obvious answer to things. Which has led to him destroying some rather expensive equipment given to him by the Sci-Tech division, so now they hesitant to give him cool weaponry. Habits: Playing with fire. Whistling. Hobbies:
Jogging. Gotta stay in shape.
Shopping. Gotta replace all the clothes he burns.
Drinking. Gotta have fun.

History
Why did you want to become an Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D.?: Working with the Australian government as part the Australian Meta-Human Control Group, was fun and all, but it was relatively small compared to what was out there. Marcus wanted more than just stopping Australia's super-powered criminals. He wanted to do something larger scale. He applied with his supervisor to get a transfer to SHIELD. Wanting to bring his abilities into the global stage. Get out into the world and help more people.
General History: Born in Townsville, QLD, Marcus Dixon spent his early life in a small town, that had a high military and mining population. He had a relatively easy early life. His parents provided for him, pretty well. He went to a good school. Was generally raised right. When he graduated from high school, he wanted to help people. So, he joined up with the police force. It was boring work at first, but whenever the troops would come back from deployment, and the miners had time off, the town would get busy. All that male energy meant violence was always inevitable. So, at least he had some times when he got to fight. After his first violent altercation with a suspect, he found he enjoyed it. So, he started putting his name down for more and more dangerous missions.
One day, a mission came along that required the raiding of the local army barracks. Normally it was Military Police who handled this kind of thing, but the local MPs were the suspects, and the higher-ups didn't want to send anybody down, so they contracted the local Police department. As it turns out, the Local MPs were smuggling in terrigen crystals. During the raid, the fire alarm was set off, and the sprinklers activated one of the crystals. Marcus was exposed to the mist and started his terrigenesis.
Awakening about a week later, he found himself in a government facility in Canberra. It was in this facility, the events that had transpired were explained to him. The Australian Government then offered him place on a task force to help deal with super-powered threats within Australia. Marcus enjoyed doing this for two years before growing bored and applying to join Shield.
Joining up with SHIELD wasn't easy. At first they declined taking him in, because his only real qualification was having been a small town cop for four years. He applied again on his own, but the task force he was assigned to intercepted his application and denied the transfer. Saying he was still under contract, and that leaving would make him a fugitive in Australia. Marcus then went to the person who was next up the chain of command and asked them for help. They gladly helped him apply, and get into SHIELD Acadmy, as part of the Operations wing.

Just a sentence or two about the importance of communicating with your fellow RPers when you are busy :)
Communication with fellow RPers when busy is super important. It is just common courtesy. If you are going to be away for a while, or can't reply because of work commitments, then you should tell your partners. If you just vanish, they are left waiting. Nobody likes waiting. What's worse, is it plants a seed of doubt. YOur partners start wondering if they did something wrong. They stop growing as a writer.

I acknowledge that I can and will be removed from the RP without warning if I break a rule or cause problems with my fellow Rpers or the GM.
Powers - To start off with, you are limited to 2 powers max. Since he's been inhuman for a while, I'm okay with him having the max of two (generally, inhumans start off with just one). He can gain more powers as time goes on, but for now let's just have two.
His birth year and age don't match up - the in character date of the RP is October 24th, 2020
Take out the house keys - SHIELD is going to have him on a mobile team so unless he has a strong reason to keep a house, it won't be practical for him.
The crate filled with gold... How'd he get this?
Under the anything else - you are missing something in addition to that paragraph
@Sanity43217 Alright, you are good to go. Please post him in the character tab. I'll be sending you a PM with the code for Discord and the link to our back-up forum shortly. He'll be brought in next update.
