TBCS Signup Open (Attention everyone who was in the TBCS before I screwed up)

Mereshka

I'm sure some will recall that I've done this before, but I had some RL problems, so it sorta died. The basic storyline is that there is a research facility in Mereshka, that was researching into how to make humans better able to stand up against hunger and thirst. One overly bright scientist thought, "Hey! Blood is one of the reasons we're alive, right? So, what if there was a way for a human in need to live off his own blood. The heart constatnly pumps it, so it would be a neverending supply" Well, this bloke got funding for his idea, and unfortunately, he was succseful. However, ther were several unforseen side-effects,basically creating vampires. The Empire is now in a state of chaos, as the virus, which is how the scientist managed this feat, spread to the general population. THat was about ten years ago. Now, there is an entire clan of the buggers, and the humans have decided to take care of 'em. However, they knew they wouldn't be able to do it alone, and decided to call for help. (i.e: you guys).

So, in order to join, post a character to join the SpecOps team that is going to be combating the vamps.

I remember this... my vampire idea, in my opinion, royally SCREWED UP.

But I'm glad to see the revival of all these threads.

I'll take a template.
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 03:00
Alrighty then, here ya go. I'll also add it to the OP. And I liked your vampire idea.

I didn't really... it got kinda awkward.

Oh wait-no. That's not what happened. What I tried to do was take my vampire idea for Vanek off from the TBCS to the rest of my MT dealings. That's where I royally screwed up.

I'll guess I'll go with the vampire thing... should we have a revelation in the facility when fighting with vampires like last time?

Name: Kevin da Vincho
Age: Appears to be around 25
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Black
Stature: 6'2", 180lbs.
Specielity(sp?)/Weapons: Backpack with one sword, plus Smith & Wesson Model 500 for duels, two Desert Eagles in his pockets, and one M16A4 in his backpack as well. Carries ammo at all times.
Bio: Kevin da Vincho is the brother of Connor (World Cup of Soccer star) and Connor (Premier of Kenavt). His title of Duke was renounced after an extended period in Mereshka. He returned to Poiuytrewq after his parents died in a terrorist incident and is currently an aide to Connor. He lives in a BMW M6 Coupe, and rents rooms in hotels. Oddball.

I think I'll take his vampire abilities off of the Stephanie Meyer book series, as I believed I did last time roughly.

WAIT A SEC-stupidity returning-what is the OP?
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 03:11
Haha, OP stands for Opening Post. Its okay, it confused me at first to. Well, idea is accepted mate. And, so you know, I revised the entire idea heavily.
kenavt
08-06-2008, 03:17
It seems like it to me. Or you just had way more detail in the other OP.
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 03:19
Well, ya, I didn't include much detail at all in this one.
Ruthless Slaughter
08-06-2008, 03:33
I screeched to a halt when I saw this was back o.O

Name: Commander Michael Hawkins
Age: 30 (I think, idk how much time passed sinced the QCS...)
Eyes: Gray
Hair: Brown
Stature: About 6'2" and muscular
Specielity(sp?)Administrator, Section 13 of the Dominion Intelligence Ministry
Weapons: DM-32 Assault Rifle, Dominion .40cal. Service Pistol, Kabar fighting knife
Bio:
Itching for field action, Commander 'Mick' Hawkins used his power to assign himself to the TBCS partly to leave the office, partly because neither of his go-to men, Officers Kirk and Morallis of the Civil Authority, were going to come out of retirement. He has experience in darn near all things supernatural, as is the nature of Section 13, and more importantly, how to kill what he finds.
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 03:37
Aha, good to see ya RS. Nice to know that Mick'll be there, Saya needs someone she knows.

Hair: Light Brown
Stature: 6'0, slim but muscular build of around 160 pounds
Specielity/Weapons: Deadly accuracy forged from years in the QCS, carries the standard union M-8 Assault rifle and a Colt M1911A1. Infected with UH, heals far to quickly for conventional weapons to be a threat (fire is a major threat to him though) enhanced strength as well as speed due to the UH (not superhumanly strong or fast, just stronger then most people)
Bio: (I'll make this short and sweet since most of you should know him) Edward is the commander of the QCS, a batallion used specifically for combating the "afflicted", as well as the only known survivng carrier of the UH (ultimate humanity) virus

Age: 29
Eyes: Green
Hair: Firery red
Stature: 5'11, medium buld at around 180 pounds
Weapons: Union M-8, Colt M1911A1

He has a fully functioning robotic leg to take the place of the one he lost years ago
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 04:10
Alrighty, accepted mate. Hehe, we just need Shenyang and all the QCS guys will be back. (Yes, I know there were several others, but I don't really recall them)
United human countries
08-06-2008, 04:15
Don't really recall them either, RS, Shenyang and you are the ones that stick out in my mind, and Vanek was one of the new guys that actually laster in the threads. Now, does this take place shortly after the (unofficial)final thread, or is it an entire revamp? (<- EPIC PUN!)
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 04:18
Well, seeming as how I don't remember the final thread, the latter.
United human countries
08-06-2008, 04:23
Okay, so a total revamp. And just for the record, I didn't post a bio for Frank because he's usually just the transport pilot, kinda like Cid.
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 04:25
Cid? Like FF Cid? Cid's awsoeme. Sure, he does a lot of the driving, but hes still pretty badass.
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 04:30
Hehe, nice. Lets see them take down our transport.
United human countries
08-06-2008, 04:30
Yeah, like FF Cid, not really a main character, but improtant none the less. (And for the badass part, Frank modified an Osprey with weapons better fitting an A-10)
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 04:31
Damn time warp.
United human countries
08-06-2008, 04:43
Hehe, nice. Lets see them take down our transport.

Hoo-ah to that, nothings taking down that bird. (At least, until the vamps get something AA) I think I'll make break the fourth wall on this one. "Hey, this seems familiar. Wonder if I'm stuck in a jolt time loop..."

Gotta love time warps, only way you can meet the you of two seconds ago.
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 04:48
Nah, the vamps have around the same technology as the rest of Mereshka. So, they may try to shoot with trebuchets at the most, but, thats about it.
United human countries
08-06-2008, 04:52
Oh really now? Guess we'll be using good ol' Frankie to be our workhorse, shred the enemy then let us grunts do the rest.
United human countries
08-06-2008, 05:06
Or we could do it the old fashioned way, pit us against all odds then come out with nary a scratch.
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 05:07
Hmmm... hey both sound so fun, don't they?
United human countries
08-06-2008, 05:20
Well, the second option is best for high body count....thats what these are all about, right?

Of course.

United human countries
08-06-2008, 19:44
More like I'm the only one taking it PMT. (At least I was during the last round)
kenavt
08-06-2008, 19:51
Oh well. Everyone had this weird exotic technology and that weird exotic technology-at least it seemed to me.
United human countries
08-06-2008, 19:56
Well.. considering Mereshka is past tech (WAY WAY past tech) Exotic tech usually comes from the people who use ficitonal weapons.
kenavt
08-06-2008, 20:02
Yeah, that's probably right.
Mereshka
08-06-2008, 20:03
Yup. The only reason the experemint was even possible, is that we had some outside help. Although 'we' is probably a bad word to use. The Empress (i.e, Saya) had absolutely no clue what was going on. Thats why she angry enough to join the squad herself.

Name: Justin "Boom-Boom" VanSambeek
Age: 27
Eyes: Hazel
Hair: Brown
Stature: 5' 10"/ 180 lbs.
Specialty: Explosives, chemicals, projectile weapons
Weapons: Colt .38 special, Smith & Wesson 1020, various home made explosives
Bio: If you're in a tight situation, this is who you'd want trying to get you out. He's a strategic mastermind despite being horrible with computers. He graduated top of his class for both high school and college. He would be working on his Doctorate degree if he hadn't joined up to help undo the problems caused by the virus. Justin's a wiz with explosives and science in general, but this comes at the expense of social skills and a sense of humor.

Hehe,alright. Accepted. Thank you Vanek.
United human countries
08-06-2008, 21:11
To hell with it, I'll just post a bio of Frank anyway.

There are widespread rumors that she may be a lesbian, however she merely distrusts men, due to prior trauma.
Mereshka
10-06-2008, 03:48
Whatever works for you mate. Hmmm... I think theres enough RP'ers signed up to justify me starting the thread, though the sign-ups will stay open. So, the IC thread will probably be posted soon.
United human countries
10-06-2008, 03:54
Allright, I'm still confused as to whether this'll be a continuation ignoring the unofficial final thread or just a relaunch of the entire series. And I might bring in a fourth character with more of a role then Frank, probably a universal NPC that anyone can RP as. (Maybe a bartender or "black market" weapons dealer that Patrick brought along.)
Mereshka
10-06-2008, 03:58
Complete relaunch. And thats fine. In case anyones wondering, I'll have two characters, Saya and her bodygaurd.
United human countries
10-06-2008, 04:09
Ah, complete relaunch with elements added from later events... so I guess that means Edward is a shogun?
Sylvonia
10-06-2008, 04:13
Here's a thought. A Black Market weapons dealer who happens to know how to mix a ton of drinks.

Oh I can't resist.... I'm sure we could all drink to that. :p
Mereshka

Oh chill Teach. I was going for the non-alcoholic beer. My uncle usually keeps some around and it's not half bad. But on that note, another uncle makes some damn good wine. The cranberry stuff he had at thanksgiving last year was awesome.
Mereshka
10-06-2008, 04:21
Hehe, wine is very good. I'm not a big fan of beer though. Wine and champagne, as well as some liquor, thats what I like.

You kidding me? The people in the Union are world reknowned for being the best bartenders ever! They'll give you a gin and coke and make you believe its a cosmo or some exotic drink.
Sylvonia
10-06-2008, 04:29
@Mereshka: I said it's not half bad, that doesn't mean that it's half good! Just somewhat decent if I feel in the mood for something different. And certain wines are alright, just nothing from Michigan. We all found out the hard way that there's a reason Michigan isn't known for wines.

@UCH: So just bring along the black market dealer if he knows all about drinks anyway.
Mereshka
10-06-2008, 04:37

Name: Jefferson Irons
Age: 38
Eyes: Green
Hair: Brown
Stature: 5' 11"/ 155 lbs.
Specialty: Mixing drinks
Weapons: .455 Webley revolver,
Bio: One of the most famous Arms dealers in the Union, Mr. Irons developed the reputation of being of the largest supliers of black market modifications to Union soldiers, however, the Union tends to turn the other cheek, in his words "The bigger bang, the better soldier" However, he has developed a sudden interest in testing how effect his weapons would be against an "unconventional army", and followed Patrick into the TBCS.

Just think! With the time warp you can go back and stop whoever started the virus thing!

Oh but where's the fun in that? Then we wouldn't have this thread.

And there's an incredible conundrum with time travel. If you go back and correct a mistake, then you never made the mistake and thus there was no need to time travel to correct the mistake. Since you then didn't need to time travel, there was no way to correct the mistake and it gets made again, thus creating a need for time travel. Nice thought isn't it?

Also, I QUOTED THE FUTURE!!!
