Caomhnoir - Special Agents of Time and Space [OOC]

Here is the OOC for the roleplay guys. Please post up your skeletons here from the Interest thread and when those who have expressed interest have done so, we'll make a start.

I'll make the first post, which'll be a sort of introductory post to the roleplay, and then you guys can make your posts to tie in with it. From there we'll just go in the usual way.

In this roleplay, I will be taking the effective position of Storyteller and NPC control. This may sound odd for Roleplay Gateway but it should work fine. You will have control over your characters and what they do, I will merely sometimes set the scene, and describe reactions to your actions from those around you and for the NPC's you interact with.

I have decided to call the agency Caomhnoir which is Gaelic for Guardians. If anyone thinks of a better name I am willing to change it.

Background
Caomhnoir has always existed, since before time began and until time ends there will be Caomhnoir. No one knows of its origin nor how it really operates. It has many bases in many locations, and sometimes in the oddest of locations. In the time before Christ Caomhnoir took control over many gateways to different spacial areas and other plains of existence.

Since the first time of Dannan (Irish colonization of the Gods somewhere in Earth's early history) they have had control and maintenance of gateways to the Feylands and planes of higher magical power.

When Columbus landed in America, Caomhnoir had already long ago made contact with the Native Americans on the West coast, and in other areas of the Americas.

When man reached the stars, Caomhnoir was watching humanity, and has always been since that time.

They are not aliens, and they are not superior beings. As far as anyone knows most Caomhnoir agents are just a little more bizzare than others. What is known is that they have spent millenia setting themselves up to guard, protect and serve other beings. Aliens exist, and strange other worldy places also. Caomhnoir have no special interest in humanity, but they are one of the many species they protect.

Caomhnoir's main interest is law enforcement and peace keeping. They achieve this goal through a variety of means they have had to learn over the years. Magic, divination, science, spying, time travel and generally being carefully placed at the right time to intervene, or to simply tip things toward the balance. Or off it and into chaos, when necessary.

Caomhnoir are mercurial and hard to understand not because they make themselves so, but because by their very nature and essence they have to be, and have become so. They do not know everything, they cannot do everything but they have spent so long learning how to stretch their reach, they have become quite adept at it in ways most have little knowledge of.

As important Caomhnoir agents you know more of Caomhnoir than most do, but that hardly says anything. One piece of common knowledge is that at the heart of Caomhnoir, there is always a being of non-essential existence and ethereal presence, no one can be quite sure what it is but everyone simply calls it Caomhnoir. It has a mind, it has a personality and it does talk to people. It monitors the paths of communication and seems to always be around.

First Post
In my first IC post I plan to introduce you all to Caomhnoir, and have you given your necessary equipment for being an agent. This will be your first day as full agents, and the day you all meet each other. In a PM later I will roleplay with each of you how you first were contacted by Caomhnoir and how you get to the place it all starts. Then I will post the first post, from which we can all start roleplaying. Thanks for joining guys, and look out for PM's very very soon.

Player Name: Kamachi

Character Name: Ron (just Ron)

Character Profile: Ron is a genetically-engineered male agent; he is mostly organic, with some robotics too. He is six feet and two inches, one-hundred and thirty pounds, and always dresses in a clean, black business suit. He is Caucasian, with medium-long, black hair, a flat face, and a fast but strong build. He is made to look human, but he can alter his appearance.

Character Background/History: Ron originally was being developed by small, secret group of scientists, but the project was taken over by whatever the people we work for is called. They increased his speed, strength, power, intelligence, etc., and at the same time tried to erase all his emotions - and for the most part, were successful. They also put a si-countersystem chip inside of him, which is kind of like something you would find in a role playing video game - the more "experience" Ron gets, the better he gets, in all areas.

Character's Abilities or Specialisation: He's pretty much a super-human. Since he is also part robotic, he can hack into machines with his brain, bring a gun out of his shoulder, connect to the Internet, etc.

Character's Luggage: Normally he only carries with him one hand-gun that's part of him (meaning it gets stronger as he gets stronger, he can curve the bullets, fire special bullets, etc.), though he will pickup weapons he finds and enemies drop and use those.

Known Associates: Just the people he works for.

Known Contacts: Just the people he works for.

Area of Expertise: Killing bad guys is what he does best, though he also knows a little bit in all the areas of expertise. He is a fast learner, and can adapt to any situation.

By the way, how do you pronounce "Caomhnoir"? Not to be rude, but I don't really like that name much...If I think of a better name, I'll tell you.

Player Name: Comrade 47

Character Name: Sasha Nedved-Horak

Character Profile: Sasha is a six foot tall, 120 pound, young man. His looks is slightly less than average, but he's not necessarily ugly. His eyes are brown, as is his hair and perpetual 5 o'clock shadow. He usually dresses fairly casually, with the occasional punk accessory. He has no odd look to him, and could easily blend into most crowds.

Character Background/History: Born in the former Soviet Union parents in 1984, just before the beginning of the collapse of the USSR. He had a fairly happy childhood with his older brother, and grew up to be a witty, likable, but not-exactly-opposed-to-violence kid. In 2002, joined the now-Russian armed forces at 18. Sasha excelled at hand-to-hand combat and marksmanship, and jumped at the offer to join the special forces. His four years in the military was largely uneventful, and upon leaving, he worked in construction with his father (and occasional trouble-making with friends), until he was given an opportunity by a mysterious being...

Character's Abilities or Specialization: Sasha is extremely skilled in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and stealth. He speaks his native tongue Russian, along with two languages he learned to speak fluently in the military, English and German.

Character's Luggage: He enjoys the freedom in dress that the military never gave him. He wears a cheap leather jacket over a white T-shirt, blue jeans, and construction boots. He always carries an M1911 for self-defense, and keeps a Mossberg Cruiser at his father's office for the same purpose.

Known Associates/Contacts: His older brother Niko and him are very close, and often are arrested together for getting into fights when either are insulted. Colonel Ivan Dankov is an army buddy who owes several favors to Sasha. Dankov is currently still in the Spetsnaz, and would be willing to help Sasha out in almost any way imaginable. Sasha is also close to his father, Arkady.

Area of Expertise: Sasha is a skilled fighter, either with his bare hands, knives, or firearms. He also carries his Spetsnaz training, and is specialized in stealth, infiltration, and sabotage. He is considerably skilled at urban operations.

(Filler filler filler, so that the forum won't think this is something 'someone already said'. Filler filler filler, will you let me post this yet?)

It's been four days...maybe we should just start? I hate when innactive people slow the whole process of roleplaying down.

I'm ready to start whenever, but I guess we're waiting for Wakboth to start.

I think we can assume this is dead. And it says Wakboth last visited yesterday, and he read my PM, so I'm inclined to think he's a jerk. He could of at least posted here saying he lost interest or is too busy or something, it would of only tooken a second.
