OOC and SU for Sci-Fi/Futuristic RP

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Nykizta on Tue Apr 20, 2010 2:08 pm

Here's the IC: Unsettling Circumstances



In a universe resembling Earth's, human beings have progressed significantly. They have colonized several planets and with the advance of technology, crime has almost disappeared. Almost. Rather than the petty crimes of the past, criminal activity has been contained to organized crime, and within a few decades it became obvious that the police force of centuries past had become dependent upon a specialized task force called SOOC, Specialists on Organized Crime (creative, I know.) Slowly, SOOC became the dominant authority figure and over the years, all but a few criminal organizations were taken down. Now, SOOC has sent a squad of it's best to taken down one of the few remaining organizations. However, the surprise attack turned into an ambush and the squad was taken down. Now, those who were captured find themselves chained to the floor in a huge warehouse with guards, other prisoners, and their remaining comrades.

There are five worlds under human control and we have no alien contact.

Thea: Resembles Earth. Homeworld.
Heaghen: Least habitable of all the planets. Desert world with limited water and lots of solar energy. Most buildings are underground.
Yueda: Water planet with one, South America-sized continent. Humans started building on land and slowly branched out over the sea. Floating colonies with little sun.
Karnae: Closet planet to the sun and years that are equal to about five on Thea. Seasons last a little over a year. Other than that, resembles Thea. People hereappear to live longer, but they have the same mortality rate. A woman looking about fifty will pass in her sleep because she's really over 80.

It's also possible to have been born on a space station, but that's a new development and you would have to be 17 or younger.

----------------------


RULES:

1. I'm going to refrain from putting the normal roleplaying rules, cause I expect anyone who joins to have the common sense as to know what those are.
2. You break my rules more than twice, you're out. Hell, if you break my rules more than once, I probably won't like ya much and will be staring at your posts like a hawk. But I don't expect to have any of those problems.
3. Be literate, please. Correct grammar, good punctuation, and a decent sized post. That's all I ask. Please keep it above 200 words per post.
4. Romance is fine. Hell, it's encouraged. But if it escalates past PG-13, take it out of the forums and into PMs, please.
5. This is a futuristic roleplay, and with futuristic roleplays come pretty new toys. However, please ask me before implementing your ideas of what would fit into the roleplay. Laser guns, yes. Lightsabers, you're dreaming.
6. This is sort of contained within the first post, but I wanted to make this clear;
NOT OK: Tanya jumped on Joshua, twisting his arm back and slamming him to the floor.
OK: Tanya jumped at Joshua, reaching for his arm as she attempted to put him into a hold and get him on the ground.
After thought: Killing NPCs under your own control, be my guest. If you bowl over players, the result will be a rather unhappy Nyki.
7. There can be violence, but please limit the gorey details. You slashed him across the stomach, got it. I don't want to know what came out, thanks.


-----------------------

Just a heads up, there will be a plot-ish line to this RP. It's mostly character driven, but my character, Kenyon's character, and whoever plays the leader of those who captured the squad members will be moving the plot along and only we will have even an inkling as to what will be happening in the future. *cue maniacal laughter*

By the way, I DO need someone to play the leader. And there WILL be competition for roles. If you submit a profile for the captain and I accept, but someone else submits another profile for the same character, I WILL choose whichever character I think fits the roleplay best.

Playable characters are squad members, other prisoners (could be captured for future selling, some being held for ransom, unfortunate bystander the group picked up, etc. Be creative), the leader of the criminal organization, guards. You CAN make a character that doesn't fit those roles, but be aware I might reject it if I don't think it fits the roleplay.

Last, but not least, this roleplay is flexible. If you have an idea about how we should go about this or something extra about the world/technology/etc., tell me. I love new ideas. :)



And now, here are the character sheets:

Prisoner:

Name:
Age: (Prisoners: 14-40, Squad members/etc.: 20-30)
Gender:
Appearance: I prefer written description, but pictures are ok. Just remember to NOT use anime pictures, pleeeease.)

Applying for the leader of the criminal gang! Feel free to check out my past posts if you want to get an idea of my RPing ability.

Name: Sol Bretton
Age: 30
Gender: Male
World of Origin: Yueda

Appearance:
With easy good-looks and hard mahogany-brown eyes, Sol's sharp features are attractive and he is not afraid to use that particular fact to his advantage. His hair is short and dark, his skin pale almost to the point of sallowness. He is tall but not imposingly so, and he is lean but not built, with the sense of tightly-wound energy about him. Perhaps his most memorable feature would be his right hand, which is bionic and clad in gunmetal-grey steel, although he often wears gloves to conceal it. Tattooing is rife within the criminal underworld and Sol's back and torso are inked with, amongst other images, a Russian doll-like figure, a slender knife, a fish with black scales and a sugar skull.
His clothing is practical and often dark-coloured, with sturdy leather boots, dark trousers and a grey t-shirt like a camouflage against the concrete, smoke-stain brick and wire fences of the urban habitat of Thea. A royal blue scarf is invariably looped around his neck and has, in the past, been wrapped around his hands to protect against the sting of a shiv, bundled on the ground as a make-shift pillow or used to bandage a laser burn. In the winter, a tailored jacket keeps away the cold.

Personality:
Very much the isolated leader, Sol is self-reliant to the point of arrogance and has gained a reputation as somewhat of a maverick within the loose community of organised crime outfits. Despite his cocksure and sarcastic manner, he can be utterly charming when he wants to be and this, combined with a talent for manipulation and an unusual insight into the greeds of those around him, has enabled him to build up a widespread network of contacts and employees who all dance to the tune of Sol and his money.
Whilst carrying out business, he acts with a tendency for ruthless self-destruction that is not so much brave as simply devoid of fear. He doesn't care about the safety of himself and often doesn't care about the safety of others either. Doing what is necessary comes first in his priorities and subjective morals a distant second. Sol is not the cruellest or the most violent of the crime lords; he carries out the tasks that others might find squeamish not with the joy of a sociopath but the grim satisfaction of a craftsman.

History: (I've intentionally left this reasonably short as I prefer it to be open to later revelation or development.)
Born on the planet of Yueda, in a cramped floating slum fifteen miles off-shore, Sol's mother died in childbirth leaving his father, a jump-engine mechanic, to look after his baby son alone. Emotionally crippled by the loss of his wife, his father's resentment, at first turned inwards, was soon reflected onto Sol when he was old enough to go to school. He responded by gradually withdrawing from life at home, spending most of his hours skiving off school in the narrow streets of the floating city and developing a talent for manipulation and charm. At around the age of sixteen, Sol became a regular user of tryptomine (colloquially known as 'trip' or 'T'), an illegal synthetic stimulant common in the slums of Yueda. When the local dealer was killed in one of the sporadic bouts of inter-gang warfare, Sol stepped deftly into his shoes, slowly building up a drug empire that expanded with the power vacuum created by the elimination of rival syndicates by the SOOC.

I'll make my character soon, but first I need to know something: are you looking for a younger or older and more experienced squad member for my character (considering his role)? I was thinking about maybe an older character who came up with some reason of morals or emotion to do what he did.

Good Evening! It's been about a year since I've gotten into a role play, I do hope this is
what you're looking for. :) Just an idea but what about "Unsettled Odds" or something of the sort for the title?


Name: Loraina Mauro
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Appearance: Loraina is a smaller built woman, standing just around 5'6" and just enough weight to keep her petite frame from looking frail. Long long hair, more strawberry than blonde, falls in a straight curtain just past her shoulder blades (she'd never been able to get it to do anything more than fall straight). Layers frame a softly curved face of pale skin with a soft powdering of freckles on her small nose and cheeks. Though, her personal favorite physical aspect, is her hazel eyes, which often seem to change colors from blue to green, depending on her mood.

Personality: To some, she may look fragile, but don't let the looks fool you. She's a very capable individual, learning a very thorough amount of knowledge beginning at a very young age. She can work in doors assisting her mother with household chores, in the local library, learning and researching with her father, or be side by side with her brothers, working to assist in building structures in their colony on Yudea. Though, sometimes, the filter between her mind and her lips gets slightly dislodged and she says things that she really would be better off leaving unsaid. That however, is one of her bigger faults, a shy and more than a little timid by nature, she often finds herself being rescued by her brothers when she spouts off to the wrong individuals.

Reason for being captured: Ransom
World of Origin: Yudea
History:
Loraina Danielle Mauro had lived her life, at least as much as she could remember it in the world of Yudea. Her father, Soran Mauro, had settled his family in one of the lesser populated colonies on the planet while he assisted in the research and development of technology used to put the space station into working order. While being one of the many scientists involved in the research, Soran was recognized for being one of the subject matter experts when it came to growing and cultivating plants and foods that could come from said plants. There were many times when Soran would take Loraina to the libraries to research the old and supposedly less effected means of growing food from when their society had still lived on Earth. He instilled on Loraina the importance of learning and understanding methods of history, not just in that topic, but in the way their civilization had grown and developed. Unlike her three older brothers, Loraina thrived in the library, next to her father. History became her addiction, reading became her passion. Her father's career and knowledge left their family well off, financially speaking. Though, there were many occasions where he would be away from home for months at a time, being taken to either the space station or elsewhere to either present or enact the improvements on the current technology, Loraina always had hated those occasions.

Her mother, Lorean, worked at home, helping with childcare for families for whom finances were not nearly as comfortable. Many of the days that Loraina didn't follow her father to the library, she'd be at home with her mother, helping with the children and attending to the chores about the house that her mother was otherwise to busy to see to. The rest of the time, she was either out working with her brothers: Damon, Regan, and Toran; or in her room at her parents home, completely and totally enveloped in a book of some sorts.

A few months before she'd turned nineteen, her father had gotten word that he was to be leaving for Thea for an undetermined amount of time. Though the message itself gave very little further details, Soran had said he believed it was in regards to the space station technology that he'd recently been assigned to research. He'd left a short time later. After two months had passed, the Mauro home had been visited by one of the leaders of the organized crime cell that had begun its reign on Yudea. Standing behind her mother, Loraina had, as she had a tendency to do, spouted off, telling the man he had no business in their home and that he would be smart not to come back. The man left shortly after, once her mother had glared at her and apologized on her daughter's behalf. Other members of the cell had taken to visiting the home every month after the initial encounter. Then a month after she'd turned twenty, the visits stopped. That same month, they'd gotten word from Soran, saying he was on his way back home and would be there sometime within the next month.

Two weeks later, Lorean had gone to the main colony for groceries and other shopping to prepare for her husband's return, leaving Loraina to watch the children. The twenty year old girl sat playing on the floor with one of the toddlers when the leader that had given the first visit arrived once again for a visit. Though, this time, when he left, he took her with him.

Ack, Nykizta, I had a character almost done but my house had a random power failure. In broad daylight. Too nice a day for the power grid to handle, I guess. Anyways, I'll be a lot later with my character app than I thought because of this unfortunate setback. Just wanted you to know so I can ask for your forgiveness preemptively. =)

WOOO! Sorry guys, I completely forgot to be an intelligent person and subscribe to my own topic. Kenyon, disregard that PM I sent you please. xD

NorthernSoul, I've seen plenty of your work to be absolutely ecstatic that you want that role, lol. I'm still figuring out the plot slightly, but you and I will be working together for a bit to figure that out as well as with Kenyon. But definitely accepted with flying colors, lol.

Kenyon and block, feel free to take your time. I'm hoping for one more to join before we start, anyways.

LittleFox, she works, but I'm just a little worried about the history buff part of her. I have an idea in my head as to what the history and such of the planets are. Now I'm not saying you should take it out, but be careful with it, or ask me for advice if you want that to be a large part of your character. Otherwise, nice job and accepted.

Also, I have a question for you all. This is only an idea which I'm kind of reluctant to use cause I usually prefer entirely original characters, but this idea fits into this scenario perfectly. If any of you have watched the show Firefly and know who River is on that show, I'm thinking of basing a character on her, sort of. If you don't know, I get to giggle to myself and make her anyways. ;D If you do know, tell me if you think she wouldn't fit. The only people who would know what she is would be NorthernSoul's character and some of the guards. Let me know! ^^

---EDIT--- Kenyon, you have complete freedom with your character. Feel free to go which ever way you want with him.

What's the worry on the history? I don't have an issue with altering it or whatnot, it's just background on her. And with her family being a wealthy family on the colony, it was financial rather than information, or the other way around depending on wherein the issue lies. :)

And I always liked River, she was definitely an interesting character. I think it'd make an interesting option to the roleplay that's for sure. :)

The worry on the history is just how big of a part of your character it is. Basically, I have a very detailed history in my head, cause it'd turn into a novel if I wrote it down, lol.

Oh okay...I'm not looking to step on toes, I was just looking for a way to make a thorough history for her. I don't have an issue with rewriting it if you would really like me too. My only question with that being, wouldn't all the history of the Colony be a big part of any one of the characters? Or am I miss reading again? I'm sorry, I think I may be confusing myself again. lol.

Name: Staff Sergeant Thabit Fatin Maroun (Th - ah - beet, Fa-tin, Mar-oon). He has an alias of ‘Hanania Bishr (Hon-on-ya, B-sheer)’ which is a word from his tribe which translates to, rather gruesomely “Sipper of Blood”.
Age: 29.
Gender: Male.
Appearance: Thabit is an imposing mountain of a man, even compared to some other very muscular and built people. He is freakishly tall at nearly 6’5 in overall height, an unusual sight for somebody who comes from his home-planet usually. He has dark colored skin that might be mistaken for an extremely deep tan if one didn’t know of his family heritage. Across extremely defined arm, chest, and leg muscles are copious amounts of ink in the form of black tattoos that all interconnect from the top of his hand to the back of his feet, though stopping at the base of his neck.

Along with all of this he has raven black hair kept in a French Braid to approximately one third of the way down his back with a braided goatee that stops at the base of his neck. So with all of this it’s understandable that Thabit looks like an extremely mean man...not to mention that his light blue eyes don’t help with their seemingly natural and always present soul-cracking stare.

Personality: When he first joined the group at the age of twenty, Thabit was a very young man who had high hopes for his new career. He wanted to make the world a better place for those who lived in it by fighting the “good fight” against crime wherever it presented itself for both the sake of his own family and the families and friends of others. As he went on he saw terrible things in open combat with organized crimes: things that a twenty year old tribal boy shouldn’t have seen. He’s slowly hardened to a seemingly mute mass of muscles and terror...with a heart-wrenching secret now.
Reason for being Captured: The ambush: he was one of the only people in his squad who managed to survive the attack.
World of Origin: Heaghen. More specifically he comes from a tribe of Heaghen people called the ‘Jibran’.

History: Thabit was born on the planet of Heaghen to a tribe of wondering surface-dwellers. Given the nature of the tribe, Thabit never had a chance to meet the two members of the tribe responsible for his conception as a son might normally meet his birth parents: his tribe had a saying that “Every man is the father and brother, every woman the mother and sister.”. As a result, despite the community sense given from being raised by multiple people, Thabit had to learn to be very independent as well.

At first Thabit grew up thinking that everything of his tribal life was perfectly fine, so much so that he didn’t even think about government expansion of underground building projects that were beginning to ruin his peoples’ traditional hunting grounds of the few (very dangerous) animals that lived on Heaghan’s surface. That outlook changed one day when Thabit went on his ‘Rite of Blood’ for his tribe: a ritual in which he would go out and kill a large Octoscorpion, gather it’s tail, and return it to his tribe.

He killed the eight-legged beast with little problem, returned the tail to his tribal camp, and went through the finishing of the ceremony with the tribal Fathers (community leaders). Draining it of the poison, the tail’s long and narrow stinger was used to give him the shields on either of his shoulders these days. They told him of things as they scarred his skin: he had seen things in his life as all young men should by the ending of the Rite of Blood. He had seen loneliness, he had seen danger, he had seen death, and as he sat there in the tent being scarred he was being given the opportunity of pain. All of this things were beautiful to the Jibran
but it was what ‘civilization’ wished destroyed.

After this Rite, Thabit was put in to the ‘Rite of the Soul’ in which he would choose what it was that he would choose how he would help the tribe. Given what he had been told in the first rite, Thabit jumped at the chance to be a soldier, and was filled with anger at those who claimed they were civilized. Thus the village Fathers and the soldiers, both of whom had say in his name given his choice, named him Sipper of Blood or “Hanania Bishr”. As a result Thabit was allowed in to manhood by his tribe...but it didn’t last for more than a few years of his life.

Private interest groups of varying sorts, who benefited in various ways from the tribes extinction or building expansion, hired slavers to clean up this rebellious mess of ‘heathens’ roaming the surface. Thabit doesn’t know if any others in his tribe survived, as he says, ‘in body’ because he was hit with a long-range stunner early on in the initial fighting with the raiding slavers. He was captured by the slavers, traded hands many times, and to make a long story short about how he joined the squad: a team from the same unit raided a facility in which he was being held. In the confusion he managed to start fighting back and when it ended they found him surrounded in dead bodies, a broken and bloody night stick in one hand, and an empty submachine gun in the other.

With his consent, he was in the unit’s training program the very next week.

Tips: 0.00 INK Postby Comrade Vacilli on Sat Apr 24, 2010 8:56 pm

It would appear I'm competing with someone for the asshole betrayer postition.

Name: Lance Corporal Taleth Cicero

Age: 24
Gender: Male

Appearance: Taleth us about 5"10 height and roughly 150 pounds. He has more or less even teeth and Caucasian with oliveish skin. He isn't really skinny, but he's not a mass of fat or muscles. he's just an average human with an average height with a mostly average weight. His eye color is green and his hair color is on the borderline of black at average length. To sum it up, everything about this guy is average, nothing too bad, nothing too good.

Personality: Taleth never really cared about excelling. It didn't matter to him, there was always going to be someone better then him at everything. He used to play what is more or less a violin and never really tried to be the best and first chair. In his grades, they were average, low and medium 90's. In track, he was always somewhere in the middle and never strived for the first three places. At the same time, he felt overshadowed even if it was his fault that he didn't want to excel, but he never quite put it together as he wasn't the smartest around town, but he wasn't stupid. Average intelligence. He had a lot of pent up envy and it was growing worse. However, he does want to make a name for himself one day, when he feels like excelling. Also like profits.

Reason for being captured: ( will be changed if I don't get the position) He made a good advancement in rank, then stopped ranking up due to questionable ethics on some missions when he let his pent up anger get hold of him and he beat prisoners half to death and sometimes executed them, one shot to the head or "accidentally" tortured them to death in interrogations. Finally, he was envious of all the other officers around him and on his last mission, he sold his team out with the promise of a lot of money and free reign in the shady parts of town. However, one of the underworld denizens recognized him as a killer of the corporations prisoners and he was beaten unconscious and he too found himself chained and surrounded by those hated him with all their heart, as his squad mates hated him for selling them out, the guards hated him for killing their buddies, and the other prisoners had been told what he did. And to make it worse, he was withing the range of the spiteful prisoners surrounding him. Right in the middle of all of them and the first to die if a explosion went off. And ransom or execution. One or the other.



World of Origin: Thea
History: Now as explained, Taleth lived a very normal and average life. He got those normal grades that got him into average collages and got pretty good scholarships, but not to the big ones that his parents wanted. He just wanted to be average, but at the same time, he was envious, how oxymoronic. Then, his parents were killed during a shootout between some organized crime gangs and the authorities while shopping. However, by that time, he was already eligible to join SOOC and so with nothing holding him back, he joined the SOOC while his parents rolled in their graves. Ranking from recruit to Lance Corporal within a short span due to the higher ups thinking his average skills and his average attitude was just a facade, was considered for promotion to Lieutenant when the report came in of him beating prisoners to death or executing them. He was quickly rejected for it, which Taleth didn't care about, but deep inside, he was seething with rage. When the mission came along, he made an excuse for a quick trip to the criminal organization and when promised safety and money, he quickly sold out what was going to happen, where, and when, and who. When the raid managed to get through, they were faced with a counter attack or an ambush as it is easier to say, and were taken prisoner. At first Taleth was about to get away free when a long term member saw his face and told the others who he was, as he had killed many of their members--- brutally--- in the past and quickly they decided to take him prisoner also. He was however, beaten unconscious and chained in the middle of a lot of blood thirst squad mates who were obviously angry, which is a understatement, at him and if they had a chance, probably wring his neck. After doing something horrible of course.

You know what: I think I like his exposed traitor a bit. I'll let Nykitza decide who is the traitor but I'm happy with either result. Also, I wasn't aiming for the "asshole traitor" but was going to reveal later on that he had been informed by them that members of his tribe were alive, they had the tribes people, and that they wouldn't kill them if he revealed them...but they didn't want him alive.

So it would be a "Kane & Lynch" style thing for my character: he knows that even if he didn't agree then both his fellow tribes people would die and they would probably kill him when he least expected. The alternative would be that he sell out his squad, the people from his tribe would get to live, and he would simply have to sacrifice himself for them.

Now that I think about it though, I think your character's is great...so mine can beat your character up in an "unexpected" breakout arranged by some guards for amusement or something like that...or not. Either way on that, I'm cool too...but I still want to beat you up.

Yes, that was the whole point, I'd hate to be my character.... maybe he might die? hahahah. And sorry, I thought you were, well my characters is more or less, an asshole traitor. He just want's to do something finally. I know the doesnt want to excel is oxymornic with the wants to be known. Thats the point! This guy isn't too stable sometimes. Perhaps he can redeem himself!?

LMAO... Of course you guys start talking riiiight after I send BOTH of you pms... Oh, bejeesus. xD Well, I'd written Vacilli's. I'm still figuring stuff out. Will let you both know in a moment. Dx

Ok, so I pick Kenyon's character, and here's why.

First off, I love both of your characters. But there's an element of Kenyon's that will lend itself perfectly to the tone I want in this RP. Secondly, I think Vacilli's character is awesome, but if he was the traitor on top of it all, it'd push him a little too far over to the violent/vindictive personality side. That's just my opinion though. Plus, Kenyon's character and his reasoning is rather unique. I'm a sucker for unique... Hehe. :3

But, Vacilli, pleeeease keep that char in the RP. I likes him. x3

Here's a plot-twist: nobody knows who the traitor was, except for the criminals at first, and the squad simply hear guards talking about a traitor in their unit being the tip-off. Thus tension and past actions point to Lance Corporal Taleth, but through some major event it's revealed that Thabit is the traitor. Perhaps a member of the squad manages to get loose (or is set loose on Taleth by the guards as entertainment) and somehow Thabit stops it and admits he's the traitor...then getting the crap beat out of him, possibly before he can even explain himself.

I think we could probably add humor to Thabit's beating by having it be one of the smaller members of the squad or something. lol.

That's not too bad, unless you want to be co-betrayers :D I'm not sure, because the character I constructed is the only traitor viable one I've ever made.... and I like him. He's the only one I used text only to build ever.

Edit-- Awww, I lsot. Sure... but maybe he did approach the criminals with info... then rejected but they got some info anyways, but not enough and they go threaten Kreytons character?
