This thread has been moved to Here (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?p=9336097#post9336097) if you or anyone else has a problem with that, tough, unless your a mod, than we shall sacrafice a n00b for you your worshipfullness

This was a signup thread for an RP idea myself and Arthaga Nova came up with.

This is going to be a character RP, with special forces mercenaries from my nation. The baisic story line is that the world has been at a world war for a long time. Several groups of these mercenaries has been contracted to assassinate several leaders of one side at the same time. These leaders are all scattered across the metropolis that is the capital of this oppressive government. Their will be three leaders to kill, and two to three people per squad, depending on interest. Be prepared for several plot twists and turns.

Cookies and punch will be provided

OH! I forgot to mention genetical modifications on special forces mercenaries, those rascally mercs. HAHAHA

Each special forces mercenary will up to three genetic modifications, these can include pretty much jsut about anything you can think of, but I, or Arthas, will have to approve it. For the Merc I will have in this RP her mods are accelerated healing, heightened senses, and a a minor telepathy with lower life forms, mainly animals. If you have a problem with the last, I assure you, it is only to make her seem psychopathic.

I'd be interested, but would like to know a few things,
Do we create characters? If so template please?
Also will it be person/squad or person/character?
If it's person/character how is squad leader chosen?

I would like this format, I'll do a sample with Val. I would also like the ages to be kept under Vals age. I already wrote an intro for it, and continuity is disrupted if you make them older.

Name: Valerie
Age: 27
Sex: Female
Eyes: Green
Hair: Blonde
Height: 5' 9"
Weight: 150lbs.
Nationality: Nofian
Appearence: Very muscular and pretty. Always has an apathetic look.
Weapons: FNP-90 times two. Browning BDM. M-60. KA-BAR times two.

Genetically modified before birth. Has the ability rapidly regenerate wounds, has heightened senses, and can talk to animals. She was sent to a Nofian school.* She has a Cougar named Haushinka that is loyal to her. Haushinka is a female will tear anything apart that looks like it might harm Valerie.

*meaning she was trained from birth to become a mercenary soldier, Just about all youth, with the exception of those of the wealthy, are forced to go through this training, and become mercenary soldiers as children.

It is going to be a character RP, for what I have planned it won't work any other way.

As for determing a squad leader, it will go by who signed up first, or possibly a choose a random number type of thing. I have yet to decide. It may also depend on RP experience.

What are the specific problems? And what's the problem with a person with snake DNA worked in?

I can't really see how the venom spitting feature could be well incorporated into the human body without serious modifications to the structure, definatly soemthing they are nowhere near advanced to do. And the other two mods are literally just a copy of Val's.

Val has hightened senses, Kha, hightened physical attributes
As to the other, the saliva glands would simply need a slight modification and people can spit an impressive distance as they are.

I misread that first one, but the other one must go, sorry a It's just Val's trademark. You could take the animal talking one, I woudl have no qualms, but the healing is the only one I will fight for. And the though, in my opinion, of the acidic venom is hillarious, but if you want it that bad go for it.

Having worked with animals I would say if you were infused with snake genes, then they would have much longer amounts of time to heal. Reptiles may be able to regrow limbs, but it tkaes a long time to do it. I work at a veterinary clinic and we have had a snake in for at least six months wile the bites he got from a mouse are healing, and they still haven't completely healed.

Editted, is edit acceptable?
Nation of Fortune

yes, and it's hillarious, except in a good way. I dont' suppose you have ever played the Monkey Island games.

anyway, now the only other issue I bring up. How wise do you think it would be for a freelancer to sign a contract with the nation that he escaped from, especially considering the majority of the soldiers are NoF special forces.

Would it be possible for there to have been another student at the NoF schools with similar enhancements that also fled. It would lead to a more interesting RP, as the goverment would think he was thiers?

And no, never played the game.

well they attempt to be unique, so not really. But If given the proper mindset and it not being fairly late for me, I woudl be able to come up with a better explination. Well here goes my late night attempt at explaining something that was clear in my mind about 12 hours ago

It is in the early stages of the genetic modifications, so the scientists are trying as many things as they possibly can to see what works, what doesn't, what succeeds, what fails. This is also why I wanted them all to be younger than Val, because I state that she was the first successful one they made.

EDIT: and in the game it's about a wanabe pirate, a very funny game, but when asked what his abilities are he says he can hold his breath for ten minutes.

With my original idea, industrial/military spying creating a copy for another nation? If not will alter.

shouldn't really matter, but if this RP goes as planned. Although the way I have it set up it's highly doubtful it would work. and This particular RP isn't going to work unless we get more people so if you know anybody that might be looking hit it up. The absolute minimum would six people, but I woudl love to boost that number up to nine. This is all counting me and Arthas

Will see if I can find anyone else, so the RP needs three more, but would be best with 6 more?
