@OppositionJ Did you get my PM? Your approval is pretty much all I’m waiting for at this point?

As soon as I read about the first group I had a sneaking suspicion that I may be placed there. I like it. Once the new characters are posted in the character tab I will update my relationship portion of my character accordingly.

That's a interesting point to start at. Media Res is always well and fine and I guess there is a lot of potential in this scenario (Voter fraud, gang attack, black-mailing, hijacking etc). I think a live debate in the background between the candidates would have been fine and dandy but hey, you do you.

I guess in this case, Mack would play more of a passive role to Emma and Cass, only serving as a driver (potential get-away scene) and to help them move around quickly. Of course, he's going to playing ball for the Reclaimers who care currently holding his entire body hostage. I'll try to think of what stake the Reclaimers will have in this election and what possible incentive they would have to want Campbell to win. Anyhoo, I think it would make sense for Mack to hang back and wait for Emma and Cass to finish investigating since they're a hell of a lot more experienced than he is.

S’venia will more than likely using her eye-in-the-sky drone too shoot videos/stills, while Campbell delivers his speech. Will we have any guards with the first group?

I was thinking of something like that generally. Either way, Gatch will be in attendance so it might work better as a sort of final debate and social for whatever semblance of higher class that the Reclaim Zone can muster.

I believe now that I have dealt with all extraneous character applications. I'm going to begin work on a post within the next day or so. (I will likely do one opener for each group to use, so they may be a bit offset.) Other than that, I am also adding one more character to the party myself just to round off our outfit and cover all of the bases I want us to have access to. If any of you are interested in taking on second characters later on in the RP, that can be brought up as well.

Let's do this, team.

Alright! I'm finally ready to post my app for all to see! I'll let you give it one last look over to see if you're satisfied with the changes before I post it on the character tab, @OppositionJ.

It's not anything spectacular but I'm proud of her. She's gone through a lot of renditions and tweaks but this is the version I've settled on. I wrapped most of this sheet up in the wee hours of the morning in order to make the deadline and not interfere with the plans put in motion so please forgive the rough edges. I'm 100% open to any input so feel free to let me know how you feel about her.

This looks like a good one.
Is it too late to join?

I'm interested in making a bartender character who is also a friend and under the table benefactor for the candidate. Light physical augmentations (less combat focused, more on getting away and retaining/spreading/containing information).

Maybe a relationship with the reporter character? Probably as a source. Or as someone to spread misleading information among the clientele. Services of that sort.

OCCUPATION:
β€œI was the one you called when you didn’t want to get your hands dirty. Now I’m not sure who I am.”

CAMPAIGN TEAM POSITION:
Able to be used as required. Taryn can provide security, tinker, or snoop on competitors. She’s not picky so long as she’s kept busy.


I don't know how to feel about this. On the one hand, this is quite vague but conversely, we do have individuals in our party who can perform multiple functions and do have multiple talents. Perhaps, making it a little more specific would be good?

[1] 5.7mm FMJ Handgun - Holding 15 rounds counting the one in the chamber Taryn's handgun isn't the flashiest piece of firepower but it's what she could afford when she came into South City. She's done enough work involving firearms that she knows what works and what doesn't and in her opinion there are few things that could stop subsequent shots from a 5.7 FMJ, although Taryn prefers to not push her luck in engagements. If it comes down to her having to put rounds down range she aims for the soft spots on her targets, primarily the head, and if she manages to get close enough she'll let her hands take care of them.

SKILLS:

The Iron Wolf - While more of a title than a skill Taryn didn't earn it for no reason. Fighting in the Dome was originally just something Taryn did for fun and some extra cash but she turned out to be very good at it. In a ring where most people are either broken or killed Taryn has taken hits most men would've been knocked out by. She's taken down men twice her size, and refused to give up from a fight. Death isn't something she fears when she knows she can face it on her own terms.


I feel like there's so much wasted opportunity here within these few nuggets and that you can capitalise on these things to make a character that is truly rock solid. The Koena Dome is like essentially Cyberpunk ThunderDome (TWO MEN ENTER! ONE MAN LEAVES!). What crazy shit would happen in a Fight-Club esque location with cybernetic augmentations up the wazoo? That should be like a strong focus of your character, being a bare-knuckled fighter who dukes it out and takes back the punches. I feel like expanding on that would make your CS more stronger than it is now. Unfortunately, this may seem like too much of a parallel to Sister Blue.

She could carry around like a set of hi-tech brass knuckles that fold out like pistons or jackhammers. Her augmentations could or should relate on how she's sacrificed her own humanity to gain strength.

I would like to comment more about this CS but as I previously stated before, Opp has the final decision of whether or not your character makes it into the RP. I will say one thing, though. It feels like there's a whole lot more you could do with this character concept. It's there but it could be a lot more there if you get what I'm saying.

I do like your new idea of this Koena Dome fighter, but I do think she needs a lot of extrapolation. There is a reason I kept the sheets pretty dense and it's because I want characters to show dynamic change throughout the story, and that is hard to do without a well-built character to begin with. I know backstories can be hard and characters will develop and change, but I encourage development. I am in accord with most of what @The Bork Lazer said. Particularly, I'd want more development on the occupation as it dictates a lot of what the character begins as, the backstory as mentioned above, and most importantly the campaign team position. The whole premise of the RP has each of us specializing and changing in areas that give us active roles in the campaign. This sort of fighter could make a good bruiser or you could try for something like a friend of Campbell's who uses prize money to fund the campaign. No matter the position, we'll all be doing a lot of all sorts of tasks, but I want each person to inherit their unique role. When revised, you'll be gladly accepted into the fold.

This looks like a good one.

Applications have now closed as we are just ready to begin after a lot of waiting. There will be a second phase of characters that I will be bringing in later into the RP, so if you'd like to keep up to date, that will come eventually as things start to settle from the first wave. For now, however, our squad has been determined.


Okay ladies and gents, I'm writing the first post now. I'm going to start with group 1 and I will try to get the second post done within the next day as well. Again, I can apologize enough for the long wait times. I've been so busy, but my dedication to Futility is pushing me through this. Let's do this! Also, I've created a new character that will be joining the crew in group 1. I'll post her sheet in the character tab, relegating Cass to a more active NPC role.

I'll flesh out her sheet right away. I probably shouldn't have worked on it so late in the night because by the end of the sheet I was just trying to finish it so I could go to sleep.

Take your time. At this point, I'll let you work the sheet until you're ready and you can just hop in on the story wherever we are.

Okay! Group #1 is a go as I hurriedly cranked out the post. Since I wasn't so super specific in that intro, I wanted to make a note.

At this point Swathe Street is your open world. Some of you can choose to be in the suite with Campbell. Others can be out mingling or watching the crowd. Do as you please. I wanted to give you each a moment to establish yourself before we jump into anything too crazy, so you each have a bit of time while the debate is on a break.

Another important thing to note about the sort of secret idea behind Futility. This is the beginning guys, so I need to reiterate. Pay attention to your actions. Know who you're affecting. Prepare accordingly. Every action has repercussions. Every decision amasses allies and enemies. It's up to you to survive the Great Game.

Group Reminder:
Group #1: S'venia, Alton, Proctor, and Delilah.

Group #2: Mackwell, Cass, and Emma.
