No godmodding, godmoding, auto hitting, impossible dodges, trolling, spamming, etc...

You can be a Blue, or a Runner. Or, if the bio is creative enough, a subject of Project Icarus.

Welcome to the world of Mirror's Edge. In a city watched constantly, you are one of the few. You are a Runner. A danger to everyone keeping secrets. You can be unstoppable. You ARE unstoppable. You are sly and noticing of everything surrounding you. You are the perfect fighter.

The new leader of the group of Runners is Faith. She was trained under the rule of the man Mercury before his tragic and untimely death. Faith, now 26, not only leads and orders the runners, but will even perform tasks with them if it is too hard. Her group is bigger and badder then the Blues could ever hope to be, even with the few remnants of Project Icarus. The group, now named Red Resistance, are in need of your assistance.

This, is your story as a runner. Create your character, and report to Faith's headquarters for a meeting. Galen out.

You are a cop, sworn to protect the city from anyone who stands in the way of the laws, especially Runners. They are a plague among the city and the community in it. If they want to try something, we are always watching. You are allowed to fight them using lethal forces. Given an arsenal of weapons, you try to eliminate every single Runner, with the help of Project Icarus subjects of course.

This is your story, to try to stop the Runners. This is where you begin. Lance out.

A constant test subject undergoing vigorous training schedules, you are a subject of Project Icarus. You were genetically modified and trained for one thing and one thing only. The killing of every single Runner in the city. You are trained with weapons and the art of Parkour, so you are deadly. You can run faster than any cop alive, and almost faster then some Runners.

As a genetic freak, this is your story. Now, go kill you some Runners. Dr. Barnaby out.

AlWayZFrE3, it is a decent post. If you weren't aware, Project Icarus runners were cops genetically modified to hunt down and slaughter runners. So far, the post is good. Maybe a little detail into his life history would be nice but other than that it is excellent. (I only put the sprint time from stopped to sprint because it takes a few seconds in game and I want to generalize an idea)

Personality:
She enjoys thrills and lives for thrills, especially when Running. She is quick to get along with and quite friendly, but when she is doing her job, she is very serious, she doesn't tell lies to her fellow Runners, and she is very straightforward and decisive. She had always wanted to be a Runner growing up, knowing and keeping the secret that three of her family members were Runners, her uncle 'Zip' (Nestor Vidal), and her cousins Ray (Raymond Lea) and 'Samba' (Ina Altman), and she watched the skies for them. She eventually decided to join Mercury's troupe of Runners, taking with her her family's ability to leap, but went into hiding the time they got in trouble with the Blues. When she went out of hiding, Merc was dead.

Special Abilities:
Superb flexibility, ability to leap high and leap far, fast reflexes

Average top speed:
45 mph

Time from stopped to sprint:
When she gains the right momentum, she picks up and goes on running.

Speed with weapons:
33 mph

We have room for anything you want to be. I can always pull generic police and random PI subjects out of nowhere.

Heavily interested. I'll make up a character sheet. And just for clarification, what are your rules for NPCs? I usually have an easier time introducing my characters through the use of nonessential NPCs who act more as a plot hook to get me into the current story.

But otherwise I love the Mirrors Edge game, and can't wait for the next 2 games, and definitely will work on a skeleton for this RP.

EDIT:::

Heres my Character Skeleton.



Name: Alexander "Alex" DeMargo

Age: 19

Time with Red Resistance: 3 weeks (Since initiation into the group. He has yet to do any missions alone.)

History: Alex is the son of a rich Congressman. Growing up in the high life, he had always watched from above, in his father's condominium, the city degrade into the totalitarian society it is today. He had never considered life as a Runner, and always expected to follow in his father's footsteps, until one night when an injured Runner came crashing through one of the skylight windows of his home. At first shocked, Alex wasted no time taking the Runner and hiding her under his bed. He then pointed the chasing Blues towards the door which he had left ajar. When he returned, the Runner was gone, and in her place, was a yellow bag with a folder slipped inside of it and a note on top, telling him where to deliver it. Alex felt drawn to the challenge the Runner left and picked up the messenger bag, heading out onto the balcony overhanging the city from his room. When he returned home, the broken skylight window was fixed, and there was a neatly folded letter sitting on his bed. It was an invitation to join the Red Resistance.

Recently, his father has been heavily pushing forward Anti-Runner Legislation, and is completely unaware of his son's actions. Alex prides secrecy above all else, because of the precarious position he holds, he is afraid of being recognized running.

Appearance:
Image
Alex has dark brown hair, with matching dark brown eyes. Normally he is seen dressing his best, due to the fact that he is a 2nd year private university student and the son of a Congressman. When running, he is usually dressed in a tight form fitting white and gray suit with a mask.

Personality:
Alex is a bit reserved, but also seemingly nonchalant about danger or heavy situations. He displays confidence in his abilities in front of others, but deep down inside he is full of hesitance. One major noticeable trait is that when he gets nervous, he starts to crack dry humor jokes. He isn't one to abandon a friend, but his first inclination is self-preservation. You can't help someone if you are dead after all.

Special Abilities:
Runner Vision: Alex has keen eyesight and is able to pin point some of the best routes when running. He can use this to his advantage for finding easier and sometimes faster paths to destinations.

Adrenaline: Because of his awareness, Alex is able to completely take in his surroundings as things are going on around him. Time seems to slow for him, but this never lasts long as everything is a distraction when Alex is checking his surroundings.

Slow Reaction Time: Due to the fact that he is new to running, and hasn't seen much action, Alex's reaction time is slow, and he can spend more time in shock and thinking about what action to take, than actually taking the action.

Average top speed: 40 mph

Time from stopped to sprint: After roughly 3-5 feet.

Speed with weapons: 20 mph (If forced) Alex has no weapon proficiency and refuses to run with them.
