Greetings! After reading some of the character RPs, I've decided to start up my own in order to harness my skills since I'm sure that I lack plenty of them. You may be wondering what my story will be about. The story will be set in a dystopian version of our NS world with a fictional nation of Volusia, led by technocrats, being quite expansionistic. Being familiar with the Japanese anime/manga series, Claymore (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claymore_(manga)), I've decided that the main characters would be similar to the Claymores in that both would have been bred to fight a common enemy: my story's version of the Yoma are Russian made genetically engineered monsters which go around killing and ravaging the world around them. This is where Winifred Conley, a common housewife, comes into the story; her entire family is killed by one of the monsters who are basically able to retain their human forms in order to fool people. Once her family is killed, Winifred is visited by members of an organization who ask her to join them or be "forgotten", that is, killed. This organization creates superhuman agents who resemble Claymores from the anime in that they have superhuman strength and so forth. Men and women can be agents and many are often emotionless stoics with tragic pasts behind them. Basically, imagine the Claymores of the anime with guns and so forth. You don't need to know about Claymore to participate. I'm just saying that this story is influenced by it. We are NOT using characters from it. Everything here is MT-PMT.

What I require from prospective participants is a willingness to be characters such as members of the Volusian leadership who are very technocratic and who believe in expanding Volusia around the world, individual agents who work alongside Winifred, and other characters from your nations. I shall be RPing as the head of the organization but I'm willing to have someone RP as Winifred; whoever does this needs to RP Winifred as emotionless and filled with pain and regret and primarily from a nation with an English background. I'm looking for an experienced RPer to be Winifred. I ask that those experienced with this sort of RP join this. The organization's leader's name is Oliver Catherwood. He will be largely my sole major role here in this RP; I'll be needing participants who are RPing as Winifred and her associates to check in often with Catherwood. He'll be playing a major role in this story here.

Violence is going to be heavy here in this RP and sexuality is welcomed although I'm going to ask that you use your heads on that one. Please don't post graphic posts that will be deleted by the mods. You're free to experiment with the sexuality of the agents (many of the female agents are good looking but view sexuality as a distraction to their work) but remember the guidelines. I'm going to need someone to RP as the monster who kills Winifred's family but keep in mind it won't last long. It'll be killed by a man in black who then walks away without a word. Winifred needs to be depicted as famously athletic since it will tie into the conspiratorial part of this story here. This will also be the OOC thread. I'll get up a roster list soon. Feel free to ask questions, etc here. Thanks for reading. :tongue:

(Wagdog alerted to me the possibility that the mods may not take too kindly to this RP being with real life nations so I've decided to make it set in the NS world instead)

tag

I'll be interested.

I'll be interested.

Who would you like to be?

Bump for interest!

Guidelines:

1. Winifred and her colleagues dress like modern day men and women. Although they generally resemble Claymores in terms of how they created and why they are used, they do not resemble them further than that. Weapons they use include guns, katanas and so forth. Some of them are creative with how they kill and some just kill for the hell of it. It all depends on how you create your character should you want to be a genetically engineered killing machine. If so, I'll ask that you post a simple biography of who they are and I'll fill in how they come to the fold; if you'd like, you can give me ideas on how they do.

2. The organization is known officially as the Department of Special Operations or DOS for short and it is the organization that creates and uses Winifred and her colleagues. It is a mostly secretive branch of the fictional Volusian government.

3. This RP is set in the NS world instead but with it being non-canon so it does not affect our official histories.

Accepted. Thank you for your interest. There's also no need to call the lesbian; there can be more than one.

could make a male sharpshooter

OhmagodIseeGerman. You had me from hallo :D

On a separate note, I'm a little confused as to where our individual nations would come into this.

Babelfish: It's a good thing. :D

My intention for this RP is to merely have it so that a bunch of nations such as your own come to see Volusia as being a threat to the security of other nations and, thus, try to topple its secretive and oppressive government. The Department of Secret Operations is Volusia's way to enter your nations and wreak havoc. In response, there are nations (perhaps your own) who create superhuman soldiers (invoking the Claymore reference) to fight the ones sent by the Volusians.

Oh, now you've definitely got me. If this is MT, I guess I'd pretty much be RPing as Leistung in a parallel universe where ODECON doesn't exist and Volusia does, right?

I never really thought about that. If alliances were to be used, I would hope that it wouldn't turn into a massive invasion dogpile since I want to emphasize the character aspects of this story and, plus, I have a twist in mind to the DOS in Volusia which requires Volusia not to simply be invaded just because it sends strange creatures out to kill people and wreck things.

could make a male sharpshooter

Working for Volusia? For your nation?

Don't do the alliance thing, trust me.

If I were to join (I would), I would probably RP as a group of 4-5 special forces soldiers sent from Leistung into Volusia to do...something. Would that be alright with you?

Name: Ulrich Braushan
Age: 47
Nationality: German
Home Nation: Not known
Biography:

Ulrich is an extremely talented neurosurgeon, brought up in the city of Berlin during the division of Germany. Luckily, he was born on the better side of the wall, and managed to excel in an education system giving him the opportunity to study at Cambridge university, Britain. Becoming a neurological consultant at the age of 32, he from there developed an unhealthy fixation for the workings of the mind, and in particular how surgery could affect its function. He was charged with murder after he was found dissecting a patient's brain whilst they were still conscious and alive, but escaped and found himself travelling from nation to nation, working for the shadier medical companies where he could continue his work.

After the outbreak of war, he found his talent being put to good use in discovering how the removal of sections of the front cortex could neuter emotions and control advanced conscious skills. After one particular incident where he managed to create an inhuman 'soldier' that ripped to pieces his employees, he is now on the run, looking for any prospective employers.

Don't do the alliance thing, trust me.

If I were to join (I would), I would probably RP as a group of 4-5 special forces soldiers sent from Leistung into Volusia to do...something. Would that be alright with you?

I'll give you my trust.

You are more than welcome to RP as a group of special forces soldiers but please know they'll be targeted by the monsters that the Volusians are creating; this was actually meant to be an Ixanian animated series but I saw, in it, a potential to being my first character RP on the NS forums.

Definately accepted. Do you think he could work for the DOS? The DOS, by the way, needs to be set in one participant nation and must be controlled by a group of leaders from the participant nations. However, all participants must be willing to allow me to not only nominate the leader but to do other things I have planned in my mind and which will be revealed around the time that the RP would end.

Minus the little cock-up on the age, am I still accepted? Please.

Volusian Personalities:

1. Svelzor Piran: Svelzor Piron is a Volusian ideologist and physician who advocated the creation of the genetically engineered monsters that the Volusians use against their enemies; he is a man who believes that humans are nothing more than animals who can talk and thus is willing to use humans as guinea pigs in his experiments which are generally aimed at creating more of the monsters. He is particularly fond of using mental health patients in his experiments and will often empty out the asylums and herd the patients into secret camps and he is also recognized as the head of the project. If he captures your men or women, it is most likely they'll be used in experiments.

2. Szekely Micheran: The coldhearted moralist who led a revolution against the democratically elected government of Volusia in the name of morality and civilization, Szekely Micheran is an intellectually minded sadist who leads the nation under the banner of "Civilizationism" which he says should encircle the entire world and save humanity from its lack of morals. Created as the merger of different leaders such as Hitler and Robespierre, Szekely Micheran is a man willing to do whatever he can to ensure the supremacy of his followers around the land. He is also married with two children. He pretty much takes vigilantism to the international stage; explicitly advocating the worldwide extermination of undesirables in his speeches. Basically, imagine The Punisher or Kira as a politician and you have Micheran.

3. Octavia Cullen: An Anglo-Volusian woman who craves the taste of blood, she is the sole survivor of a secret project that aimed to create a super soldier out of humans but which had been scrapped due to an alleged lack of cooperation from subjects. Octavia Cullen is often seen as a sadist who is aroused by decapitating and dismembering her enemies. She is the leader of a secret division of the Volusian army which will lead attacks on participant nations hostile to Volusia. She is literallly devoid of emotion and believes sexuality and the like to be a distraction to her work. The sole reason of her existence is to kill. She'll be one of the major enemies of your characters and will be very challenging to fight.

Minus the little cock-up on the age, am I still accepted? Please.

You were already accepted. That cock-up is irrevelent.

Yay! Now, who will Ms. Brown seduce? :p

She could seduce members of the Volusian administration. In fact, you've given me an idea just now involving Ms. Brown but I won't reveal it to you just yet. :D

Accepted. Keep in mind that they may face Octavia; she's one of those people who can take on a group of men by themselves. In a way, she is the female equivalent of V from V for Vendetta.

She could seduce members of the Volusian administration. In fact, you've given me an idea just now involving Ms. Brown but I won't reveal it to you just yet. :D

Does it involve things that you shouldn't tell 5-year-olds? :tongue: :$ :D
