A Brave New World?

Sorry, I was riding trains all day. I'll get a post up after I eat dinner.

Valkyria Chronicles: Lions of the South

Fear the power of the sniper corps!

A Brave New World?

Ryan looked at the man, back at the dumpster, then back at the man. He quickly snatched his briefcase away from it, not liking one bit the way the man was talking, before carrying it in with him. Now that he knew he was not going to get immediatly mugged in return, he could carry it with him. "Hmm... The military here is lax, and more prone to bribes than the transit authorities..." He nodded in agreement with the plan. Military vessels had tracking beacons, but there was only so much anyone could do once the object of their search left visual range of the planet. ... And the application of some... choice knowledge and calculated bribes could prevent a search from being issued until they were well out of visual range. An interesting and dangerous plan indeed. A bang at the door got his attention, as a pretty young lady was escourted in by what was apparently his new employer. He nodded in greeting to her as she entered, wondering if she too would be joining them, or if she was only a customer and nothing more.

Jackpot. Ryan had low expectations for these two, but as he overheard their conversation on his approach to the shop, he smiled. This would be a job worthy of his talents, and a ticket off world was worth its weight in gold. This was going to be interesting. Looking both ways, to make sure no one was watching, Ryan stashed the briefcase that contained the parts for his rifle behind a dumpster, before walking to the entrance of the garage. Several hovering devices floated towards him, causing Ryan to back off and remain in the alley. He didn't want to spook these two any more than he was about to. Leaning against the wall opposite to the doorway, he spoke up. "If you are going to try to get off world using less than legal means,... Then you are going to need me."

A Brave New World?

Eh, well its a Free RP, and we're doing it rapid fire. I don't think a little awkward stalking to get things rolling is an all bad idea.

A Brave New World?

Sorry, just was trying to think of a way to get my character to follow. Also, Blackmist, is this your first time on the guild? I remember someone from the old guild who disappeared, but had the exact same avatar.

A Brave New World?

"You owe me money, brother." The thief had wandered into exactly the wrong alley - the alley where Ryan was watching the outcome of the mugging. "And you've reached your deadline." "Wait! No! I just nee-" The thief, who was frantically pleading for his life was cut off by a shot from a silenced pistol. Ryan kicked the corpse into the gutter, before holstering his gun and walking out into the alley. "Let it never be said that I allow those who default on their debts to get away." Though his suit was a dirty, tattered shadow of it's former condition, and his reputation had taken a massive hit from his last failed mission, he still had a code that he followed. And one piece of that code was to never let anyone take advantage of him for a prolonged period of time. A thief like this... he never had any intention of paying Ryan back, of that, he was certain. Now lets see... The person the thief had accosted said he had no money... but he might have connections. Ryan decided to follow him, talk with him, maybe propose a business arrangement. Everyone had SOMETHING of value that they could pay with, and if he wanted to start digging himself out of this hole he got dropped into, he would have to start accumulating clients again.

A Brave New World?

Name: Ryan Valcris Appearance: Personality: Calm, Cool, Professional, Charismatic. Ryan is an odd character, being equally at home on the ballroom floor and perched on a rooftop with a rifle. He has no qualms about taking a life, but in his down time, he holds himself to a high standard, behaving like a model gentleman. Skills: Long Ranged Marksmanship, Stealth, Perception, Diplomacy/Charisma (I just used standard RPG-esque skills to save posting time) Weilds a silenced pistol and a powerful gauss sniper. History: A sniper, An assassin, A slayer of man. Some would call Ryan just a hired gun, but no, he was much more than that. He was an artist, with each kill being a stroke upon the canvas of the city. Need an escort to keep an eye on you from above? Ryan can do that. Need someone to watch your back during an important formal ball? Ryan can both protect you AND show up some people on the dance floor. Need to repair a car or do any sort of engineering/tech stuff not relating to firearms? Ryan cannot do that. He made a name for himself as a reliable bodyguard and hitman for the middle-upper class criminals, but lately he has started working for those of lower standing (for lower prices accordingly), spending much of his time in the alleys and slums of the city. The result of this was a botched mission, which lead to his fall from grace and employement by the more powerful people in the city.

Sounds good! Alright, Clay, do you want us to RP in character here, or make a proper thread for it? ((Shit something just came up, I'll be gone for an hour, but I shall return!))
