Also, if everyone could state what firearms their character's had on them when they entered Haven that would be great. Gonna add an armory to the first post.
I thought you wanted guns out of equipment?

It's also pretty liberal with the usage of advanced. Advanced doesn't really mean people expect 1800 words or more, guys.
Yipee! Any clue on how many people you would like to join at this point?
I'm giving all previously submitted applications a chance to be up to "code" per ce. I'll also allow previously interested parties such as @Rin and @Clanjos to apply if they are still interested at any time before launch or if I can work it out- during launch.
@Karl Kadaver
Not a problem, we’ll have plenty of time to get our squad(s) in order. Looking forward to it.
@ChronoBovino
I wish you the best of luck in your role-playing interests!
@Dead Cruiser
As you can imagine telepathy is a very worrying power, as it can be easily abused in RP’s such as this. It encourages taking control of other characters and predicting their actions effortlessly. That said, I have allowed telepaths in other RP’s of mine before. As stated you have a lot of combat capacity: psionic blasts, telekinesis, and that sort of divination you hinted at with your ESP. Even with those nerfed there would be a worrying precedent if I accepted someone who can effortlessly:
“may even simply tear apart an enemy's mind with the sheer power of his own, leaving them a drooling, mindless wreck.” and “read minds and communicate telepathically as easily as he can fly” and “can even control the mind of his enemies, turning them into his puppets” – all of which puts up the character up for extreme analysis and concern.
@King Kindred
Well it wouldn’t be as simple as “was prisoner for a few years then became cop” – I recommend finding a story hook between where you left off with the backstory. Your character could’ve fled the planet to avoid local incarceration or circumstances led the planet being attacked (not necessarily by Freiza). If you were paramount in stopping an invasion the locals would exonerate you and perhaps the ISF might take notice of the character or alternatively your character seeing the threat of a conquest face to face believed he could help others if he joined the ISF? I don’t know, just spitballing to help you.
@Unraveller
Unbearable suspense indeed. Anyway back to your follow-up question about the application, right. I’ve done some thinking and whilst it seems a bit out there, the height isn’t exactly obtuse (Recoome is roughly 7’5” for example) for the squadron angle that we’re going for. I’m just trying to visualize the arrests your character probably issued previously—the criminals were probably petrified out of fear. Plus I’m sure we’ll have some comedic lines shot your way.
Your backstory is fine outside of your planet’s destruction since the only reason the Saiyan’s were in that sector of galactic space were because it was conveniently on the way to Earth and that sort’ve didn’t happen in this go which we’ve already covered, lol. As for your techniques, I see no issue that I can see right now so you’re pretty much ready to go.
@TheUnknowable
It is possible if alternatively instead of being branded a vigilante the ISF considered you an “informant”, thus opens up the door to directly work in the ISF. Maybe. Wouldn’t hurt if there was another small paragraph for the backstory, but given the age of your character it’s not really required.
@Javier
Some grammatical errors, but nothing too big. I like the ‘adopted’ angle a decent amount and think it’ll contrast other Saiyan’s in the ISF greatly. Techniques are described a little odd, but they don’t seem too powerful to abuse. Should be okay.
<Snipped quote>
Me?
I don't think you've posted it in the OOC yet, I've seen a early version in PM sure but I cannot exactly count that can I?
Can people join this still or? what?
I think I should lock down applications at this time considering I have a big potential group.
Appearance
Name
David Levitski
Age
51
Gender
Male
Occupation
Police Detective
Skills
As a career cop David has collected various skills such as familiarity with handguns & revolvers, investigation talents for picking up on clues in people as well as the environment, occasional lock-picking, and breaking limbs with baseball bats. Wait, what? Truth be told, David was not a “by-the-book” detective in his time and in fact is kind of “mostly corrupt asshole” detective where he was known to use intimidation and physical assault in many situations to get what he wanted. If the situation needed this arsonist to have a three broken fingers to get some information then David would break four. Despite this sense of ruthlessness, David is good at his job as his skills make obvious.
Flaws
It is likely that the strongest personality traits David has are the ones that are the most despicable and unaesthetically pleasing such as his cynicism, tactless honesty, realism, and ruthlessness. He would rather kill someone than have them “waste” supplies, views the world as it is and not as it should be, and always strive for a hard-working diligence. These traits obviously put him at odds with others when they are shown, especially in abundance, though there is a utility to the way the polish-american detective is.
If his strengths are not a sort of double-edged weakness, then there are options to be perceived for what are. This includes his excessive nature to be prone to violence, his patronizing view of optimistic viewpoints, his short-sightedness when he is in a bad mood, and what some could view as a two-faced attitude towards others like in the instance he hates his own nephew but quite enjoys the company of females with similar personalities.
In terms of habits and indulgences he also is fond of a good vodka whenever he can find it.
Firearm Proficiency
Level 4 - Due to be a trained police officer with decades of experience, David Levitski is proficent with firearms particularly revolvers and handguns. However he isn't particularly skilled with assault rifles, shotguns, or other advanced firearms.
Weapons
Baseball Bat
Knife
Equipment
Assorted Tool Kit – Collected during his time following the outbreak, this kit has a mix-matched assortment of screwdrivers allowing David more subtle access to buildings and items.
Mini Crowbar – Enough to fit between David’s pants and belt, good for prying doors and hatches open.
Flashlight – While it needs batteries and batteries are hard to find, a flashlight is always useful in darker situations.
Wallet & Watch – Mundane items from David’s former life.
Knife – Serves as a secondary weapon and tool.
Flash – Half-full with water and not vodka, apparently.
Apparel
By appearances sake, David Levitski looks like the opposite of who he is—his smiles seem genuine, his manners can seem perfectly charming, and he gives off the impression of a kind-hearted traditional cop. Even before the epidemic David kept himself in shape to keep himself on the level with the criminals he constantly dealt with and the truth remains in this “apocalypse” (though he just calls it Tuesday). For clothing preference, not much has changed except for a bit more tears and stains in his clothes which consist of a trenchcoat and scarf in colder seasons or a light jacket in the warmer seasons alongside unassuming buttoned or non-buttoned shirts and jeans or khakis. He does always prefer boots though.
Personality
David Levitski has been called blunt, violent, bitter, and patronizing. These observations aren’t incorrect as the former police detective’s manners are ones of a cynical, ruthless, and shifty nature. He has played loose with the law to gather arrests and information in interrogations, been a terrible father figure to his nephew, and generally prefers rash action to solve problems quickly and cohesively. However it isn’t true that he is always in a sour mood or hates people as he has acted well to others as long as he doesn’t perceive them as stupid or he finds attraction in their features or traits. His time as a public figure of the police department caused him to smile often and make it authentic enough to put people at ease as well as hide who he really was. Until really talking to David for longer than a few hours would you have an inkling to who he really is.
Backstory:
A man as long-lived as David Levitski could publish a novel of his escapades and life experiences alone. This of course is something David Levitski would rather not occur as he would rather not be judged by his new neighbors for what he achieved throughout his childhood and adulthood. Born to a Polish immigrant following the Second World War named Waclaw Levitski in 1963, David would be the eldest of several siblings raised in a lower income class household that had much conflict inside and out. His father was an abhorrent and abusive alcoholic who struggled from one job to the next—from general labor to distribution line factory work and so on thus when the next time his father lost a job nobody in the family was sure if they were going to leave the city they were used to or if another one in the area would repeat the process. It came to a point when David’s mother divorced his father and they moved to a more stable (relatively speaking) environment permanently around 1974.
David’s new environment was crime-ridden and tough on his mother, especially considering the stigma that still existed amongst divorced women trying to pick themselves up in the era. Perhaps it was here in his mother, Ashley Levitski, where David learned an admiration for hard work ethic since his father was so careless and arbitrary to the point where David didn’t care for him. In a chance encounter in the local park David found himself at odds when he attacked a boy over a name he called his mother to the point he told him that he would “erase his face” – he was interrupted before doing so by a police officer by the name of Thomas O’Reilly, who would be his first father figure.
The time passed in the inner city and under the guidance of the “old school” police officer David found himself joining the Police Department and aspiring to keep his burning temper under control within the confines of the law and if so necessary unleash it on those who deserved it—for not out of a sense of morality, but just desserts. David’s talents were soon discovered in these formative years as he found a knack for noticing things that other officers didn’t which eventually served him well when he was promoted to Detective fairly early on in his career, though due to politics and relationships with his superior’s daughter he found promotion climbing any further was quite unlikely. Still David found himself enjoying the work with every thumb he cracked or head he slammed into a table—as if he was exerting some weird power fantasy over his abusive childhood with his father. Nonetheless, time went on.
In time David found his younger brother, Richard, following in his footsteps—though in his time away from home his brother had taken to weird senses of optimistic morality and found himself clashing with his older brother during holiday gatherings in which they debated perspective. Admittedly, David was abrasive and patronizing towards his own sibling and likened his intelligence to inanimate objects in an attempt to give himself a reason to beat his brother down. However, Richard didn’t snap proving himself to be the better man. Still the siblings found themselves at odds with each other for many years up to through the childhood of Richard’s first son which he named after himself.
The time as a cop carried on and David continued to see people for how they really were—selfish, manipulative, deceitful, arrogant, pig-headed, out for themselves, and ultimately pretty terrible people. For every criminal he met he saw at least one aspect of his father in them which only made it all the easier to trait them with such vitriol. “Guilty until proven Innocent.” he figured about these people. As time toiled onwards things began to change such as his partner in the squadcar, shifting from “old school” detectives like Andrew Tate to “new school” detectives like Joseph Atkins and Miranda Beake. The world kept proving itself to David however and he never strayed from how he believed. The years moved on.
Eventually came the epidemic, and as he pushed himself from group to group with his small assortment of survivors until he ended up on his own due to disagreements or death with the people he found himself with. The rest of David’s story is ongoing and the past is mostly buried as he cemented himself within the community of Haven.

Aw, I missed the spammer? Boo. Anyway I'll be looking at applications today to see what I like so far. I'll probably edit the space below with reviews for completed CS's only:
@King Kindred
I’m going to have to see abilities & techniques finished before I go into a full review, but there is some awkward bits I probably should address prematurely. My biggest curiosities with Taroga is his backstory: I’d like to know how he went to possible prisoner to a member of the ISF, because I doubt that if he was arrested that they’d be like “instead of a jail cell he should be given a badge!” – the backstory feels incomplete, but I think it has potential and merit. Show me more and of course show me his techniques and I’ll probably be okay with it!
@Unraveller
I know Arlian’s can be big and your major selling point I suppose is playing an “over-sized cockroach”, but how necessary is it to make him over seven feet? This is not a demand but rather a question since I feel curious about his size. As for the second point of discussion with your character: in this continuity, Vegeta and Nappa did not travel to Earth so considering (if my memory is correct) that their planet was only visited as a pit stop on the duo’s travel to the planet, would it not be still existent at this point in time?
@Hillan
Since I imagine Konats was aided by the ISF in this continuity and by proxy would not be destroyed by Hirudegarn, the prospect of a Konatsian is fine. Moving on the only issue I can possibly see if I’m being nitpicky is the fact is “he never bends the rules” – if that is so why has he been assigned to a secret off-the-books taskforce that is pretty unorthodox itself when it comes to legality and such?
@Kal-El
Not any observations on this one or problems with it, I'm tempted to accept you already.
@Karl Kadaver
Perhaps touch up Evim’s development, and some insight into Dr. Zadra. Other than that I’d say adding in a few sentences or two throughout the sheet would be preferable but not really required. I think I’ll have little issues in making it work, though with two android sheets I will have to be a bit creative.
@Dead Cruiser
I think my biggest issues is that Borea seems to excel at all schools of psionic power, which is… worrying. Of which I’m most concerned with is telepathy. If you are going to be competent with telekinesis, ESP, and illusions I’m going to have to request that this be completely cut down or nerfed because as it stands it is the one thing that I feel is a bit off. I like the characterization and goals, but let’s work on the powers so our co-writers aren’t offset yeah?
@ChronoBovino
The backstory feels like cliff notes and seem not really developed, the CS isn’t very descriptive, and I’m not completely sure it’s at the level I feel comfortably criticizing and accepting for the game. If it were to be brought to standards of the rest of the playerbase perhaps it could be malleable but as it stands I’m not sure about it at all.
@TheUnknowable
Probably going to have to work on equipment (ISF has their own ships and our characters will be assigned undercover vessels for this mission), abilities could be detailed similarly to other sheets though I don’t mind the innate tech abilities or the telekinesis as it seems fairly balanced, but there are some awkward bits with the backstory such as him hacking WTO servers? If it was that easy I imagine the ISF would have a lot more information on the WTO. Though his vigilantism is an interesting angle, I find it obtuse that the ISF would just recruit as implied. Could use some work around the edges.
I'm still waiting for posted applications from @Rin, my AGM @dblade26, @clanjos and others.

David’s talents were soon discovered in these formative years as he found a knack for noticing things that other officers didn’t which eventually served him well when he was promoted to Detective fairly early on in his career, though due to politics and relationships with his superior’s daughter he found promotion climbing any further was quite unlikely. Still David found himself enjoying the work with every thumb he cracked or head he slammed into a table—as if he was exerting some weird power fantasy over his abusive childhood with his father. Nonetheless, time went on.
In time David found his younger brother, Richard, following in his footsteps—though in his time away from home his brother had taken to weird senses of optimistic morality and found himself clashing with his older brother during holiday gatherings in which they debated perspective. Admittedly, David was abrasive and patronizing towards his own sibling and likened his intelligence to inanimate objects in an attempt to give himself a reason to beat his brother down. However, Richard didn’t snap proving himself to be the better man. Still the siblings found themselves at odds with each other for many years up to through the childhood of Richard’s first son which he named after himself.
The time as a cop carried on and David continued to see people for how they really were—selfish, manipulative, deceitful, arrogant, pig-headed, out for themselves, and ultimately pretty terrible people. For every criminal he met he saw at least one aspect of his father in them which only made it all the easier to trait them with such vitriol. “Guilty until proven Innocent.” he figured about these people. As time toiled onwards things began to change such as his partner in the squadcar, shifting from “old school” detectives like Andrew Tate to “new school” detectives like Joseph Atkins and Miranda Beake. The world kept proving itself to David however and he never strayed from how he believed. The years moved on.
Eventually came the epidemic, and as he pushed himself from group to group with his small assortment of survivors until he ended up on his own due to disagreements or death with the people he found himself with. The rest of David’s story is ongoing and the past is mostly buried as he cemented himself within the community of Haven.

Age

Gender
Male
Occupation
Police Detective
Skills
As a career cop David has collected various skills such as familiarity with handguns & revolvers, investigation talents for picking up on clues in people as well as the environment, occasional lock-picking, and breaking limbs with baseball bats. Wait, what? Truth be told, David was not a “by-the-book” detective in his time and in fact is kind of “mostly corrupt asshole” detective where he was known to use intimidation and physical assault in many situations to get what he wanted. If the situation needed this arsonist to have a three broken fingers to get some information then David would break four. Despite this sense of ruthlessness, David is good at his job as his skills make obvious.
Flaws
It is likely that the strongest personality traits David has are the ones that are the most despicable and unaesthetically pleasing such as his cynicism, tactless honesty, realism, and ruthlessness. He would rather kill someone than have them “waste” supplies, views the world as it is and not as it should be, and always strive for a hard-working diligence. These traits obviously put him at odds with others when they are shown, especially in abundance, though there is a utility to the way the polish-american detective is.
If his strengths are not a sort of double-edged weakness, then there are options to be perceived for what are. This includes his excessive nature to be prone to violence, his patronizing view of optimistic viewpoints, his short-sightedness when he is in a bad mood, and what some could view as a two-faced attitude towards others like in the instance he hates his own nephew but quite enjoys the company of females with similar personalities.
In terms of habits and indulgences he also is fond of a good vodka whenever he can find it.
Firearm Proficiency
Level 4 - Due to be a trained police officer with decades of experience, David Levitski is proficent with firearms particularly revolvers and handguns. However he isn't particularly skilled with assault rifles, shotguns, or other advanced firearms.
Weapons
Baseball Bat
Knife
Equipment
Assorted Tool Kit – Collected during his time following the outbreak, this kit has a mix-matched assortment of screwdrivers allowing David more subtle access to buildings and items.
Mini Crowbar – Enough to fit between David’s pants and belt, good for prying doors and hatches open.
Flashlight – While it needs batteries and batteries are hard to find, a flashlight is always useful in darker situations.
Wallet & Watch – Mundane items from David’s former life.
Knife – Serves as a secondary weapon and tool.
Flash – Half-full with water and not vodka, apparently.
Apparel
By appearances sake, David Levitski looks like the opposite of who he is—his smiles seem genuine, his manners can seem perfectly charming, and he gives off the impression of a kind-hearted traditional cop. Even before the epidemic David kept himself in shape to keep himself on the level with the criminals he constantly dealt with and the truth remains in this “apocalypse” (though he just calls it Tuesday). For clothing preference, not much has changed except for a bit more tears and stains in his clothes which consist of a trenchcoat and scarf in colder seasons or a light jacket in the warmer seasons alongside unassuming buttoned or non-buttoned shirts and jeans or khakis. He does always prefer boots though.
Personality
David Levitski has been called blunt, violent, bitter, and patronizing. These observations aren’t incorrect as the former police detective’s manners are ones of a cynical, ruthless, and shifty nature. He has played loose with the law to gather arrests and information in interrogations, been a terrible father figure to his nephew, and generally prefers rash action to solve problems quickly and cohesively. However it isn’t true that he is always in a sour mood or hates people as he has acted well to others as long as he doesn’t perceive them as stupid or he finds attraction in their features or traits. His time as a public figure of the police department caused him to smile often and make it authentic enough to put people at ease as well as hide who he really was. Until really talking to David for longer than a few hours would you have an inkling to who he really is.
Backstory:
A man as long-lived as David Levitski could publish a novel of his escapades and life experiences alone. This of course is something David Levitski would rather not occur as he would rather not be judged by his new neighbors for what he achieved throughout his childhood and adulthood. Born to a Polish immigrant following the Second World War named Waclaw Levitski in 1963, David would be the eldest of several siblings raised in a lower income class household that had much conflict inside and out. His father was an abhorrent and abusive alcoholic who struggled from one job to the next—from general labor to distribution line factory work and so on thus when the next time his father lost a job nobody in the family was sure if they were going to leave the city they were used to or if another one in the area would repeat the process. It came to a point when David’s mother divorced his father and they moved to a more stable (relatively speaking) environment permanently around 1974.
David’s new environment was crime-ridden and tough on his mother, especially considering the stigma that still existed amongst divorced women trying to pick themselves up in the era. Perhaps it was here in his mother, Ashley Levitski, where David learned an admiration for hard work ethic since his father was so careless and arbitrary to the point where David didn’t care for him. In a chance encounter in the local park David found himself at odds when he attacked a boy over a name he called his mother to the point he told him that he would “erase his face” – he was interrupted before doing so by a police officer by the name of Thomas O’Reilly, who would be his first father figure.
