If I am a Recon Officer, could I have a small squad of lets say 5 Task Force Marines.

My plan is to do something like I have to head for Rally Point XXXXX to meet them.

But I have a pretty nice idea of what to do with them .

[Grimmend]

This looks cool, I'll post later today, got to take care of a few things first (YaY! Paperwork  )

Alright, let's do this:

Name:Daniel Gram
Callsign:Reaper
Gender:Male
Age:21
Description: Long brown hair, one blue, one green eye.  6' 2", lanky, a little bit pale.
Former Occupation: Game Programmer
Current Occupation: Infiltration Specialist/ Security Tester
Weapons: Hand to Hand, Wakizashi, G22 A3 Rifle
Equipment: Daniel made his own field hacking tool called the Combat Override and Assault Terminal (C.O.A.T.). 
Bio:
  Daniel had a knack in electronics since he could first get his hands on them.  At age 10, he got his first PC, and by age 13, he was one of the best computer specialists in the country. For the next five years, Daniel exceled in any game he got his hands on, and was an instant legend in hardcore gaming circles, and also made a splash at conventions due to his high level in emulating combat moves from the more practical games.

  He also made a name for himself in his 'games' against some of the worlds top security companies, under the Alias "Grimm Gigabyte" (Although he saw these opponents and there systems as outdated, at best) , usually his attacks came in forms of high level hacking for juvinile pranks and harassing the CEO's seen on TV for scandals and such, few of which he was mainly responsible for bringing to light.  He 'retired' from his hacking days when he found no challege in the opponents, and fully devoted himself to gaming.

  Shortly after, however, he was approach by Lifestyle Industries.  He ran, using all his hacking skills to throw of his trackers, and using moves he picked up in lifetime of gaming to knock out any who got close.  He kept this up for seven days straight, until he got bored and tracked down the agent originally sent to him, sneaking into his office in broad daylight.  Rather than being arested, he was contracted as a security consultant, testing the security of the company sites, so as to keep corporate secrets protected from the enemies of tomorrow.  He fufilled this job phenominally (Much to the displeasure of the security companies he beat) until being transfered into the H.U.N.T.E.R.S. program.

Augmentations and Side-Effects:
Eyes: Hightened Focus allow Daniel to quickly shift around metal locks and circuit boards, but when doing so, he is oblivious to the world around him.

I think thats everything.

EDIT: Not sure what I was suppose to proof/change, so...

What was with the "She hit the top of a skyscraper", i guess she hit it on the way down XD.

No you're the scout for the Hunter squad.

She didn't. I know english isn't your first language but reading things though a few times can't hurt no matter what your tongue

Character sheet itself is brilliant, proofread your posts a little more and you're in.

[Draco Wrath]

Then if you never even touched a skyscraper, why would you write this. "She leveled out before she hit the top of the skyscraper."?

[Úlfheðinn]

Leveling out in flight terms means to stop your rate of descent or climb.

So if Incaa's character was falling, leveling out means she stopped her fall before she hit the building.

--------- Leveling out(Maintaining altitude)

[Draco Wrath]

So... Yes I understand what that means, but why... Ok she hit a building before hitting the street, right?

Because it says that in the post, but nevermind, it doesnt matter.

[Incaa]

Does it make more sense if I say she leveled out (Stopped falling) because she was going to hit the skyscraper.

"I did it before I ran out of bullets" means that the job was done prior to running out of bullets.
"I leveled out before I hit the skyscraper" means that she had stopped falling prior to hitting the skyscraper.

Great posts guys, I'll have some special lore packages ready thisevening. I'll post when I've run my errands for the day.

[Grimmend]

Was mine good now?

Or was there something in particular you wanted rewritten?

[Arkon]

Name: Ian Prophet
Callsign: Ursus
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Description: Tall, broad shouldered
Former Occupation: Unemployed
Current Occupation: Hunter Squad "Tank"
Weapons: Shoulder-mounted HUD Autocannon*, Wrist-mounted sword and shield, Advanced B.E.A.R.* Armored Plates/Helm(HUD)*
Equipment: A silver ring(never removed), An old copy of "Pillars of the Earth" and "World Without End"
Bio: Homeless, Ian Prophet lived on the street, occasionally breaking into the odd abandoned house to escape the weather. Once, in the act of doing this, he ran into a 'demon' who had made its nest inside the building. Prophet broke the leg of a nearby table and began to beat at the demon with it. He caused minor injuries and was hurt, only to be rescued by squad members from project H.U.N.T.E.R. Prophet was diagnosed with an enhanced "Fight or Flight" response, which caused increased strength in stressful situations. This, however, made him extremely tired afterwards, requireing twelve hours of sleep instead of the standard eight. After the fight, Prophet slipped into one of these coma's, and the H.U.N.T.E.R squad took him back to their base. When he woke up, he was asked to join the squad, and given a prototype armor set known as B.E.A.R.
Augmentations and Side-Effects: Spinal Cord:
Ironskin: "Subjects muscle and skin cells become significantly more compact, enabling the subject to absorb more damage before the skin is ruptured, triggered by subject's 'Fight or Flight'  response." Warning: Augmentation causes severe exhaustion in extended use, Subject will need to sleep more frequently.
Stonewall: "Subject displays an immunity to shock caused from wounds, allowing him to continue on with any manner of injuries that do not disable him." Warning: Subject loses all feeling in the limbs when this Augmentation is active, and will continue to for 2 to 3 hours after use.
Regeneration: "When subject is unconcious for an extended period, Nano-cells will begin to repair damaged skin and muscle tissue in small injuries." Warning: Nano-cells cannot repair large injuries, such as broken bones or ruptured organs

*Notes*
1: Autocannon tracks eye movements with the HUD, and will not operate in the event the helmet is removed. Trigger for auto cannon is on the "handle" of the wrist mounted shield.
2: B.E.A.R. (Beserker Armored Raiment) is a modification to the H.U.N.T.E.R Trooper armor. The Armored Plates of the B.E.A.R system may be mounted to Aug points all over the suit. (Warning: Once the B.E.A.R. System has been implanted, it cannot be removed and the Aug Points it is connected to cannot be used. This Limits the Subjects Augmentations to three.
3: HUD (Heads Up Display) is only active when the helmet is online. HUD tracks eye movement for the Autocannon to aim

You're good. Sorry I thought I'd said so.

Uhh.. you've got the idea but I notice you jumped the gun a little and just posted straight away. I'd prefer you wait until I approve your sheet before you do since there can be balancing issues.

[Eino]

I think i'll make a tank

Scratch that, Combat Engineer.

[TarnishedWanderer]

Shin Megami Tensei, or System Shock? I wonder, I wonder~

Yeah, I'm in. Ah, btw, do I have to play for the humans' side?..  Please let me know if I can play a raving mad cultist or an... *outsider*. I shall then right up one application forthwith.

Failing that, however, it seems that the team is quite the sausage-fest, with the exception of Tabitha. Allow me to apply for someone to change that somewhat..?


Name: Elrika Fruytier
Callsign: Achille
Gender: La femme magnifique.
Age: 32
Description: It's hard to tell whether she is plump or thin - Elrika always wears very baggy clothing that obscures her form and hides her body; nevertheless, her clothes hang off of her somewhat short height, and she occasionally has to adjust a dangling sleeve or tighten her belt - that, given her penchant for surviving off of nothing but black coffee and InstantRice(r) has meant that she probably is quite petite. Her hair was once some other color - but she regularly dyes it a blue so dark that it is almost black to match the blue of her eyes.
Former Occupation: Elrika supposedly served as a private investigator, although little record of her prior work can be found; it appears she did indeed solve cases of some renown in her youth, but the last documented appearance she makes lists her as studying Comparative Mythology at a community college.
Current Occupation: Questions Lifestyles had about her prior occupation aside, the one thing that Elrika does well - EXCEEDINGLY well - is solve problems. She takes immense glee in cutting straight to the truth of a situation, no matter how unpleasant. As an analyst for the team, she is supposed to wait until areas are clear, and provide tactical support as well as understanding of the physiology and nature of the invaders - and how best to destroy them. Of course, that may not be enough for her - and if her 'little grey cells' tell her that the chance to face a foe worthy of her intellect will only come from going along with the team, there is nothing in Hell that could stop her.
Weapons: The Truth!, Nasty Words, Poison. Failing all of the above, anything that is exceedingly sharp and causes bleeding and intense tissue damage - she is quite good with the scalpel she carries around with her, which has a scythe-like honed curve.
Equipment: Aforementioned scalpel, an old-fashioned notepad and paper, a midnight blue pen and a red highlighter, a heat and stress resistant Lifestyles WriteRight Pad, 'The Mysterious Affair of the Gull's Cry', a .357 Magnum 'Chandler' and five speedloaders.
Bio: In almost any timeline, there would have been little need for someone like Elrika Fruytier; with the move towards global peace and integration - or at least corporate integration - crime became a less common and more private occurrence. While other minds were stimulated by the affairs of white-collar crime and arresting those whose fingers dipped into the company account, such crimes bored Elrika and left her mind to languish. She craved challenge, more than challenge - someone whom she could cut down, humiliate, utterly embarrass with how clever she was. Opportunities for this sort of thing must be at least one in one million... But one came, nonetheless.

Having survived on a stipend earned by performing minor problem-solving and analysis duties for the Universiteit Gent, Elrika studied things related to a certain case that she had never been able to crack. To call this case an actual case was wrong, however; it was mere speculation, something that could be neither proven nor denied - are there things beyond human understanding? Do they exist..?

Of course not. There is no way, absolutely no way, that there is nothing that can exist beyond the realm of human understanding! Full of belief in her own skill, Elrika packed the few belongings she owned tidily, and presented her case to Lifestyles - having prepared several cases full of 'supportive material' if they tried to deny her a spot on the team.
Augmentations and Side-Effects: Elrika needs no augmentations - so long as she has access to her little grey cells, of course. And they are keen little grey cells indeed, capable of processing a great many facts with speed and accuracy. However, she is very arrogant and headstrong about her opinions, and absolutely denies the remote possibility that the Unknown Invasive Entities are anything but bizarre life with hitherto unknown capabilities. She is also very mean and snarky - yet strangely tries to avoid anything so mean or meta that it would break the team, the bane of gamemasters everywhere 

So, what do you think, everyone?

I hope you think it's <good!> 

[Úlfheðinn]

Interesting. 


Also, Incaa, is there some standardization of weapons we should be going for? (i.e American, Russian, Prototype?)

[Arkon]

You know, if you imagined all this happening at once in one big video trailer, this would look pretty awesome o_o
