GTG, I'll fill in the blanks later.

Toastburner B 04-13-2007 02:17 PM

Averross: ...unless you look like this, the answer is already no. This is current tech...so unless you can show me proof of humanoid bots running around, sorry...but no. No with a cherry with top.

To Those Who PMed Me Characters (Demetrius, Ecurt, Mauve Mage, and secretskull)...the replies are in your box.

Mintaro 04-13-2007 02:29 PM

I feel I should also point out for all you gunslingers out there. Never underestimate the effectiveness of a good Sniper rifle. The real danger with a demon is being up close to it. But if you were on the roof top shooting into the battle from afar. Why you'd never even have to worry about getting hurt. But of course massively destructive machine guns work just as well. Just throwing that out there, I might look into getting myself a sniper rifle. Just gotta remember what Sniper rifle Cort crow used in the way back RPing days.

Akamaz 04-13-2007 02:57 PM

yeah, someone needs the
M107 50 cal sniper rifle

Mintaro 04-13-2007 03:12 PM

Taken. its mine, gimmie gimmie gimmie gimmie.

Don't worry though, my magic bullets are only for my hand gun.

Also I doubt its something he'll carry on him on a regular basis.

Steel Shadow 04-13-2007 03:35 PM

Edited the end of my bio, since I realised I'd forgotten to specificaly mention some stuff.

secretskull 04-13-2007 04:35 PM

Approved by ToastBurner:

Character Name: Duane (Pronounced like Do Rain without the R, he gets pissed if you say it like Dwayne) Gallchobhar

Gender: Male

Age: 24

Organization: S.E.C.A

Class: Techie

Special Abilities: Technologically Skilled: Duane is good with technology. He can repair almost any electronic device in a few days given the right tools.
This skill also extends to the making of explosives. From timed bombs to land mines, things that explode are his specialty.

Bio: Duane was one of thousands of other college students studying for their degrees. He moved into an old apartment building with one other tenant, a old man who was the landlord. The rest of the building was abandoned.

A year after he moved, an odd occurrence disturbed the monotony of college life. A team of S.E.C.A burst into the building on a mission. He never found out the specifics, but the man who he thought was his landlord was actually a demonic hybrid. Why he had kept Duane around was a mystery, as the two had never been especially friendly.

At first he was suspected of being a demon as well, but his lack of supernatural powers cleared the matter up rapidly. He was offered a place in S.E.C.A, for various reasons Duane decided to join.

That was five years ago, Duane has gone through S.E.C.A training and is now an accomplished technician. He volunteered to protect the Mother of Hell, and is posing as her chemistry teacher to keep an eye on her.

Duane is fairly athletic, tending towards lithe rather then muscular. He is also quite tall standing at around six and a half feet. He has messy dark black hair, and dark green eyes. He normally wears a rumpled suit with a many pocketed over it. He is quite impatient, and because of this prefers teaching the practical side of chemistry (mixing chemicals for example), rather then the theory. Duane can also be fairly charming when he wants to, though, as a rule he isn't very social.

Equipment/Belonging: Two Jericho 941/ Baby Eagles. A large array of timed bombs (attached to small discs, default time 3 seconds), smoke grenades, acid bombs*, and the like, all of them inside the many pockets of his vest.
*An acid bomb is simply a small metal sphere with a powerful acid condensed inside. When thrown the sphere breaks open, releasing the acid.

Equipment Van/Laboratory: Duane has been allowed a large van, stoked with various extra weapons (Nastier ones), larger explosives, a tool shop, and a small chemical lab, which he uses to create various explosive devices, and useful items.

This guy seems to me like an Official Protector.

Sir Pinkleton 04-13-2007 04:50 PM

I've never done an RP before, but this one sounds very interesting. It's not saturday yet, so, can I play to? :)

Character Name: Jacob Green

Gender: Male

Age: 25

Organization: S.E.C.A.

Class: Soldier/Medic

Special Abilities: Fast Reflexes: By no means is he god-like in his speed, but he has saved himself more than once due to his rapid fire reactions.

Bio: Growing up with a desire to "fight evil", Jacob entered the military when he was 19. After basic training, he was sent back home to relax after a month of said training. Unfortunately, on the train ride back home, there was a special "incident" pertaining to before-unknown demons. Jacob probably would've died if it weren't for a S.C.E.A. operative who was also on the train. The operative, doing his duty, asked Jacob if he would be willing to fight along the ranks of S.C.E.A. This was Jacobs dream, so he accepted of course.

Now, 6 years later, Jacob is a skilled soldier against Demons, putting the protection of others above his own. Through training he's gained the rank of Medic, and is more than fair in assault. He's about 5'6'' and weighs around 170; He also doesn't have a great deal of hand-to-hand skill, but makes up for that with his good aiming.

Jacob usually carries around a feel-good attitude, but knows when to "hunker down and finish some business".

Equipment:
IMI Tavor TAR-21 assault rifle
Five-seven
Several clips for each weapon, usually 3 grenades, A med-kit (including bandages, sewing supplies, morphine, etc.) and medium body armor.

EDIT: I've changed the "new" organization name, and I'm a year older, so that secretskull and I aren't too similiar.

Ex. 68471 04-13-2007 04:51 PM

I suppose I'll say I'm official. I mean, I'm in the Society, and it'll be easier to go with the flow, and because I don't want to coninuously commute in the RP, I'll be in the Manor.

Thank you and goodnight.

Mr.Bookworm 04-13-2007 04:53 PM

Character THREE, now.

Character Name: Josiah Martin

Gender: Male

Age: 39

Organization: SCEA (:P)

Class: Gunmage

Special Abilities: Basically, he's an expert at making the sigil inscribed bullets that are so often used by demon hunters. It takes him about number hours to make a single bullet. He's, obviously, good at sigil magic. Also good with guns.

Bio:

Equipment/Belonging: Twin Colt 1911s. Four ammo cartridges. Two sigil bullet cartridges, that basically turn into balls of white fire. An MP5 submachine gun, with three ammo cartridges, and one sigil cartridge, with the same effect as above. Toolkit for the making of sigil bullets. Bulletproof vest. Eleven-inch dagger. Fifty post-it notes, with sigils. Ten have the same fireball effect he favors, ten explode in a directed blast after being placed on something, ten binds an object to the ground (which can be broken by sufficient power), ten throw up a shield designed to stop kinetic energy, and ten fire a blast of kinetic energy.

I'll put in his Bio tommorow, or Monday.

Toastburner B 04-13-2007 05:19 PM

Friendly Black Mage: Everyone else is calling it S.E.C.A. because they are all psyhic and knew I was going to fix that typo...

WHO HAS THE TYPO'S NOW, EH?

...::ahem:: Seriously, though, approved.

secretskull: Here comes the bigger shocker...approved. Just don't fall down while carrying those acid bombs of yours...seems like that would suck.

Mr. Bookworm: Unless you can really impress me, I'm heavily leaning towards no on the link thing...I don't like the idea of being able to mess with the mind of someone else's character.

Anyways...I check in with y'all sometime later tonight.

Why do you think I designed my whole character around this principal? And I chose the Steyr HS50, the very same that is currently being used against coalition troops in Iraq right now by a legendary sniper. Range of 1500 metres normally, but mines customised, so I'm saying 2000 metres.

He's called Longshot for a reason after all.

EDIT: I find it strangely odd that both Secretskulls character and FBMs character are both 24 and BOTH were recruited 5 years ago and both of thier posts came after each other. It's also possible that either me or Mes recruited one or either of them.

Oh and speaking of Mes; do you really think, in the case of a full scale demon invasion, that the government would sit around for weeks or even days before deciding whether or not to launch a nuke? No, it's kind of one of those things where a decision has to be made pretty damn sharpish, if not instantly, which is why they would have a high ranking member out in the field on a case which could lead to such an event, so as to have somebody with the power and judgement to order such a thing, which is what I was going for with my character. But if TB says no nukes then no nukes it is.

Truce 04-13-2007 07:04 PM

La, la, la. I'm a ninja.

Name: Troy
Age: 17
Organization: Warden
Class: Ninja
Special Ability: Troy can create exploding plushies on a whim, within a certain radius of himself. People who are familiar with the Avatar RP know what I'm talking about. In actuality, they're familiar spirits that Troy has contracted with that just happen to manifest into the form of plushies, storing Troy's energy and using that for their explosions.

That aside, he has practiced the traditional ninja arts. Stealth, speed, and weapons training. He's also capable of using ninjutsu, his family's style of magic, but instead of incantations they use hand seals, and often require a special brand of sigils which he just doesn't have at the moment.

Bio: Troy is half of a set of twins, the other half being his sister Trish. Though not born into their clan, they were adopted into their current family when the last of the youngest generation had died from disease. Designated as the heirs, who would let the clan live on in spirit, if not in blood, they received the training that the others before them had had.

However, the styles of the two siblings would diverge, with each focusing on their own special brand of fighting.

Eventually, though, the same disease that had taken the young away also struck the old. It seemed like a curse of the blood (which, in reality, it was, though neither of the two had caught on at the time), and despite their efforts to find a cure their last relative, an old woman they knew as Grandmother, took her last breath before they had even returned.

Unable to think of anything else to do, they took up jobs as free-lancers, selling their skills to make a living. Still, intending to try to live normal lives, they enrolled in a high school, and tried to pass as ordinary people.

For the most part it worked. Ignoring, of course, all the absences they couldn't explain.

It was a sheer stroke of luck that they happened to go to the same school as the Mother of Hell, and though they aren't being paid to keep an eye on her they still do so in secret. It's not so much her that Troy is worried about, but the people that would get dragged in, the community.

Equipment: Like many ninja seen in movies, he'll wear the classic apparel - mask and outfit and everything. Something to note, though, are the cat ears on top of his hood, that just don't seem to match the rest of the gear. They actually do serve a purpose - sigils placed in them allow him to sense his surroundings better.

As far as weapons go, he uses the standard kunai and shuriken, as well as a kusarigama.

He also had sigil'd shurikens, but over the course of time he ran out his stock of them. Though he and his sister both know the basics of how to make them, it takes time and practice, and so far no results have proven to be effective in combat.

Naturally, though, he won't be carrying weapons around in plain sight normally, or even be dressed in his gear unless he has to.

Yeah, he ninja'd me with that one. I swear, I made that age/5 years thing by my own accord, honest!
Cursed ninjitsu...

EDIT: so, should one of us change our Bio's? It wouldn't be a bother to me if I was a year older or anything...

PyrosNine 04-13-2007 08:30 PM

Oh, It's on Ecurt. You have a sneaky Ninja, and I have a sneaky thief. All that is between us is a class upgrade, and a mild case of demon possession.

Let the out-sneaking begin.

Krylo 04-13-2007 10:49 PM

I really shouldn't have to say that I'm unofficial, seeming as it's kinda obvious with my bio...

Toastburner B 04-14-2007 12:28 AM

Alright kids, given the the number of posts on this thread so far (i.e.: nearing 100), please keep any and all non-character sign-up posts to the discussion thread I will make now.

Also, if anyone has a question regarding their character, PM it to me...again to save space.

And yes Krylo, I know...just wanted to make sure you were still around.

Ecurt: Guess what? You're still approved.

Hawk of Battle: You're not getting the ability to call down nuclear strikes. Get over it.

Friendly Black Mage: Don't worry about the little details like that, it's fine. But if you want to change you're age, you can.

To those who sent my PMs, replies have been sent.

Again, if you want to say something, but it's not putting up a character sheet, say it over at the discussion thread.

mauve 04-14-2007 12:50 AM

You know what sucks? Working from 10 am to 7 pm. That just takes time away from the important things. Things like finishing sign up sheets.

Here's my character, approved by Toastburner.

Ninja Twin #2
Name: Trish
Age: 17
Gender: Female
Organization: Warden
Class: Ninja
Special Ability: Sigil Origami—What started out as a joke to mock her brother’s plushie summoning ability has become her specialty. Trish’s pockets are full of small origami animals: Each one made from a paper with a sigil written on it. They are pre-made the day before, since they take so long to do, and are all relatively simple spells—fire or small explosion spells for the most part. If she runs out, she has to make more. It takes a while, so it’s not a job she’d do mid-battle. Because of this, she doesn’t rely on them too heavily.

Trish is also fully trained in all things ninja. Like her brother, she has super ninja-y stealth and speed abilities.

Bio: See Ecurt's sign up sheet. Trish is Troy's twin sister.

Neither Trish nor Troy are official guardians of the Mother of Hell, whom they discovered was attending their high school, but due to the dangerous nature of the situation, and the fact that this was far more interesting than geometry homework, the twins decided to keep an eye on things.


Equipment: Trish carries darts, a pair of kunai, and--breaking from the more traditional ninja weaponry—a shorter naginata. Why? Because it’s cool, that’s why.

She wears a uniform similar to Troy’s, except she lacks the kitty ears. She does, however, wear black cargo pants with many pockets for dart/origami storage.

Like Troy, Trish keeps a low profile while not on ninja duty.

IHateMakingNames 04-14-2007 03:07 AM

Character Name: John "Xvlzycvuix" Smith

Gender: Male

Age: 43864

Organization: S.E.C.A

Class: Outcast

Special Abilities: Demon magic

Bio: Xvlzycvuix is an Outcast. The former peon of a Demon Lord. While he managed to escape his Lord's wrath, he did not escape unharmed. He was mortally wounded during his daring and adventurous escape from Hell (A story for another time).

Once on Earth, he was quickly found by S.E.C.A. It hard to not notice an opening from Hell. When they found the almost dead Xvlzycvuix, they decided this was their best, and possibly only, chance to study a fully manifested demon.

So then they tested. With tests. And science. Then The Society came in and did tests. Tests with magic. Since the humans had no idea what they were doing, Xvlzycvuix's wounds from his escape never healed as they should have, weakening him severely.

After being fully tested on, S.E.C.A. decided to use John (What they started calling him) as a hunter. They didn't simply kill him since it was decided that the benefits a live, subservient demon offered outweighed the potential threat of him going wild. Seeing as his only other choice was death, John agreed to serve them. Of course, he was still a demon, so they didn't trust him. Several safeguards have been installed, in case he tried to defy them.

His current mission is protecting the Mother of Hell. Since the Mother is now of breeding age, the most danger will be around her. Also, it would be the best way to keep an eye on John. Everyone is guarding the Mother, and if he is assigned to her, they will all be watching him as well. For his mission, John has taken the form of a high school student and has been planted into all of the Mother's classes.

Personally, John wants to keep the Mother alive as well. He wants the Gates of Hell closed, so his Demon Lord can never get him back. While the human world is cruel, it does not compare to Hell for those without power.

Equipment/Belonging: A bomb implanted somewhere in him, and sigiled bombs as well. He almost always has candy with him, usually M&Ms. Sweets are one of the few things John enjoys in the human world, and one of the fewer things S.E.C.A. will allow him to have.

Extra: Due to his Demon Lord injures and human testing, John has been crippled. Physically he barely beats your average person. He also has bouts of horrible pain, where he is unable to do anything besides suffer. Heavy physical blows put him in this state as well. He's also a sickly character, constantly coughing and looking like he will die soon.

Also, Xvlzycvuix just represents some unpronounceable sound.

His status as demon would be known to all, since I imagine it would be hard to have a pet Outcast without everyone knowing.

Official protector.

Mr.Bookworm 04-14-2007 03:45 PM

Okay.

THIRD character.

Who is official.

EDIT: How long does it take to make a sigil bullet?

Toastburner B 04-14-2007 10:04 PM

You're really not going to like me, Bookworm.

...but...er...sorry...but no.

First off, I'm hesistant to have a bullet-maker on the team. Perhaps I was being to vague in my stressing the fact that magic bullets are rare and expensive? This was done so that they wouldn't be an everyday occurrance...whereas, if we have someone who can make magic bullets in the team, I forsee much "I use the ::insert magic bullet:: that ::insert character:: asked Josiah to make".

Plus, chances are that you would do nothing to make bullets...because I envisioned as a rather specialized skill that was used to make money. To make a single bullet is rather like working full-time for 4 days...or in other words 32 hours for a single (simple) bullet...even longer for more complex spells. There is a reason why it costs around $500 bucks per bullet.

Since I feel bad about smacking down (most) of your character ideas so for, I'll give you some more time to make up a character beyond the opening post deadline. But I need a full bio with the character...I won't take another "place saver".

Mr.Bookworm 04-15-2007 07:12 PM

XD

Ah, well.

I didn't realize that it would take so freakin' long to make a single bullet.

I'll probably have a character up tonight.

EDIT: Well, tommorow.

Tommorow alright, TB?

EDIT2: BEHOLD! MY FINAL CAREACTOUR!

...

Shuddup.

Character Name: Josiah Martin

Gender: Male

Age: 66

Organization: TECHNICALLY, the Society, but he's mainly a Warden nowadays.

Class: War Mage- Meaning he focuses more on the spells that go BOOM than shields and the like.

Special Abilities: Incantation magic. He specializes in fire and metal elemental attacks. I won't go overboard, but I can be more specific, if you want. Only spell of noteworth is his "ultimate" attack, combining the two elements he's an expert in to form a incredibly fast burst of liquid metal (as in heated to the point where it becomes liquid) that solidifies very fast, trapping anything hit with it in metal. Also good with the cane (a remnant of his sword training), a fair shot with his revolver, and a decent unarmed fighter.

Bio: Josiah was born to two Society parents, in a story that never has a happy ending. Long story short, when Josiah was six, his parents went out demon hunting. They never came back. He was given to the care, and apprenticeship, of Tyr Black, a ferocious old war mage who was retired. The old man, needless to say, wasn't very happy with being saddled with a kid. He was ignored for the next four years of his life, which he was just fine with. He roamed around the countryside of Tyr's European estate, discovering the wilderness, etc., etc. When he turned ten, however, he started his term of apprenticeship. For the next eleven years, his life was a living hell. Tyr rode him hard, teaching him everything he knew. He slept about six hours a day, then for the rest of the day, practiced and studied. He learned everything needed in order to be a top-class demon killer. He learned how to work magic, of course, but also learned how to fight, both armed and unarmed, how to shoot a gun, how to survive in the wilderness with no supplies, everything. He, of course, hated Tyr every second. On his 21st birthday, he was promptly woken and administered hs final test, in a fight to the death against Tyr. Needless to say, he won. Barely. With a lot of wounds. Then he found out the old bastard left him everything he owned. The Society contacted him, and he started working as their local representative/demon hunter. Over the years, he gained a lot of infamy for his "unorthodox" methods, finalizing when he was 49, when he killed an innocent civilian, firing at a demon, despite the fact that the man was in the way. He was demoted, and it was made clear to him to steer clear of the Society for a while. He joined the Wardens instead. He started traveling the world, keeping an eye on the MoH when the attacks started. After the official Protecters were mobilized, he traveled to the US to keep an eye on her. He's currently living in a apartment not for from the MoH's house. He's on the fence about the Mother of Hell, finally deciding that if he sees too many overt signs that the child will probably go the "bad" route, he'll kill her (not that I'm actually going to kill her, but it's just what he thinks).

Equipment/Belonging: Cane. Regular, old, steel-backed cane (meaning it has a steel rod running through it, which makes it good for smacking things with). Colt Python revolver. 120 rounds, none of them magical. A grey cloak, matching pants and shirt. Bulletproof vest hidden under the cloak, with mild magical sigils on them (as before, strong enough to take the edge of a hit, and maybe totally clear a near miss). Steel-toed boots. Horn-rimmed glasses. Amulet with a pure diamond in it for a focus. Eleven-inch steel athame, which is basically a knife that can be used for rituals. Medpac, with both non-magical and magical healing supplies. A very expensive pen, made for reliability. A rugged, battered laptop. Notebook, for notes and making of sigils. Oh, and his estate, left to him by Tyr (he probably won't be using it though, as it's in Europe).

DONE!

Oh, and he's unofficial. He still has a lot of contacts in the Society, so he knows about the MoH.

*sharpens knife in anticipation of TB's rejection*

Averross 04-17-2007 07:31 AM

Okay, since I can't have a robot...

Character Name: Codename: Albatross

Gender: Male

Age: 22

Organization: SECA

Class: Gunslinger (Sniper)

Special Abilities: Deadeye aim, some stealth, acrobatics, contortionism, computer hacking

Bio: Um, I couldn't think of anything

Equipment/Belonging: Um, you know that one very powerful sniper rifle from Counter-Strike? Yeah, that one. Plus, it has Bluetooth capabilities for some reason. Of course, I also have basic survival supplies, a grappling hook, gas mask, etc.

*Sits next to Mr. Bookworm with same knife*
