You'd be surprised at what we can handle XD
I mean...Speedos. nuff said.

Would it be possible if my character's glitch on his cybernetic arm could be wired to a Meme? Reading the third entry of the world, I just had that crazy idea! lol

Having one living in there would be a bit of a stretch (they're literally made of internet, after all) but having one just randomly take over at intervals '4 teh lulz' would be kind of hilarious and pretty fitting with the character of most Memetics.

So are we all good with the turn system, then?

I'm sure you- errr, the Meme would have fun messing around, particularly on serious and grave situations.

And yeah, the turn system seems fine. At least now combat wouldn't be so one sided on our part.

Oh well, at least they give you training for dealing with suspicious packages... ...

See, and that's why I don't work in retail.


So, how is everyone's character coming along?

I...completely forgot to remake mine. O had mine halfway done and my computer restarted and didn't save.

Sigh.

You bad girl! You go to prisonnn... ...

I think I'm done... ...

I also suspect that I will get my arse handed to me in terms RP-ing...As I have no idea what I'm doing... ..

If your computer is unstable, how about building your character up in pieces right here in the thread? You could just post up the initial framework and then edit the post to add bits.

Or was it a forced windows update? I hate when those happen. Always when I'm working on something important.

Still hammering..... *clang clang, Uleni curses as the unrefined RP character shoots ricochetting revolver rounds at him*

the finer details of my character.

It was a forced update. Ever since I've been getting on my computer less and less, they seem to pop up every time I get online.

I'll see of I can build it up piece by piece. I really do want to play.

I keep getting hassled to update my Java script...Which seems strange...

I've definitely been implementing the "Email each story section to myself" at the end of a session these days...Not going through all that again... ...

Making it all up on a post seems like a cool idea... ....

Is it too late to jump in? The first post immediately gave me an idea for an hacker/infiltrator type of character, if that'd be okay. She'd have cybernetics that focused on allowing her to interface with computers, mask her dna and things like that. Basically getting into systems/buildings without leaving a trace, and avoiding combat as much as possible. I haven't read all of the info thoroughly yet, so I'm going to do that first. I've already got plenty of ideas though, so the character sheet should be pretty quick to write up.

Ooooh!!...Excellent!!...Just go through the rest of it...See what you think!!...

If you have the time, sounds like a good plan to me!!...

By all means, Saquira, go right ahead! We've still got places free on the RP and a hacker/infiltrator type of character would fit into the current roster very nicely.

I think I'm done now. Tell me if there's something that doesn't add up or that you're wondering about.

Name: Clare Linn Griffin
Alias/nickname: Specter
Gender: Female
Age: 29
Race: Caucasian
Nationality: American (born in Las Vegas, but lived most of her life in England)

Career: Studied computer science and human augmentation at university and began to work with computer programming, more specifically the monitoring of security and defence systems, once she graduated. After a few years she quit and moved to Las Vegas, at which point any trace of Clare Griffin simply cut of. Since then, she's been doing both digital and physical thefts, and for the right price she'll steal practically anything.

Skills: Hacking computers and AI's – though she prefers to overload or confuse the AI before bypassing it, stealth both by sneaking as well as using a tactical cloak, climbing (buildings for the most part) and free-running, enhancing implants, sewing. She's a natural rider, though most animals can't stand her presence due to all the implants. Though she can't fight, she knows several ways of incapacitating people quickly. Lockpicking, because as rare as it is, she does occasionally come across the older type of locks.

Gang affiliation (if any): She's recently been doing work for the Yakuza, as they pay well and haven't asked many questions. She does not however see it as anything near a declaration of loyalty, and will turn on them if she needs to. As it is, they don't know her name or her face, and she intends to keep it that way.

Equipment: She keeps a small backpack on hand at all times, in which she keeps her most important belongings. A portable memory disk, with backups hidden in her apartment. A sufficient amount of cash to get by for a couple of days, in case she can't get home. A so-called med-pack containing enough supplies for her to patch herself up. If she needs to get somewhere quickly, she “borrows” someone’s vehicle, as hijacking is something that she can do on the run. Also an extra set of clothes. A small tactical cloak is attached to her belt.

Cybernetics: The top of her fingers have been replaced with implants that masks her fingerprints and allows her to use other peoples fingerprints. The fake fingerprints works for one hour, or until she puts her fingers against any surface. Optical enhancement that can change her eye colour, work as magnifying glasses, present data directly onto her retina(a HUD) and see through certain materials. Ear implants in the place of a phone, that can also be used to hack into different communications. Larynx modification in order to change her voice at will. Enhanced memory to be able to handle the information she receive through the Cloud easier.

A heavily modified metaphor machine that allows her to be directly immersed into the cloud. To her, it appears as a river delta she can navigate. There she can change things like the direction a turret is firing or completely turn of security alarms. She only uses the most subtle functions however, and is always careful not to stay in one place for too long. Instead of turning of security alarms, she bypasses them. And instead of messing with a weapons programming, she stays out of its range of fire when possible. The metaphor machine has been modified to leave a fake digital signature or none at all, depending on the situation. It takes time to find things through the cloud however, and hacking is much easier when she's physically closer to a computer or something else connected to the network/data that she's trying to access.

Her cloud avatar looks like she does in real life while wearing her jacket and mask, but is slightly transparent. Specters' avatar is not limited to human capabilities, because if she isn't trying to access a data stream, she can merely wade through the representative water-stream. Unless the data stream is a firewall, in which case she has to bypass it.

Weaponry: A 10mm pistol made by Triple-P.

Clothing: Black tight-fitting polo and cargo-pants held up by a leather belt, also holding her pistol holster. As she keeps her hair cropped she also wears a mask that covers her whole head (looks a bit like the recon hood in Mass Effect 2, but no blue lights and only made of fabric with a built in breather). The fabric's lined with Kevlar and she only wears it while working. Finger-less gloves. A thigh-long jacket to wear when she isn't infiltrating. She also wears a bullet-proof vest.

History: Born in Las Vegas in 2070, Clare was the only child of Mrs. and Mr. Griffin, two very successful designers of cybernetic enhancements working for Shukla-Peterson Meditechnology. An accident in their department forced them to move in 2076, and they went to England where her mother began to teach at the university and her father signed up with another less known company. She didn't want for anything as she was growing up, and her parents began to teach her about implants as soon as it was clear that she understood what they were saying. They wouldn't allow her to get any until she was 16 however, at which point she got the optical enhancements. She did well in school – not excelling – but still enough to be accepted at Oxford, where she studied computer science and human augmentation, meaning to one day follow in her parents footsteps.

Once she'd gained her degrees, that's just what she did, working with computer programming for several years before her parents death. Though the police shut the case down as a car crash, Clare knew it was a lie, and used her cybernetics and skills to track down the man who murdered them. His death was written of as a fall down the stairs, despite the enhancements to his skull, and she got on the plane for Las Vegas the day after. The work that her parents did had allowed them to assemble quite a bit of money, and as the sole child, Clare inherited everything.

Though she grew up with her fair share of boyfriend troubles and school acquaintances, she cut those ties after her parents death. And though she refrains from killing, ever since she caused the death of her parents murderer, her outlook on life has grown increasingly dark. She won't hesitate to take a life if she has too. She seems cold to most, but then, she hasn't actually allowed anyone to get to know her since she came to Vegas roughly 1-2 years ago.

Misc info: Though she goes to the gym regularly, she focuses mostly on running and agility, and is useless when it comes to both close-quarter combat and fire-fights. She can fire a gun and keeps one at hand, but isn't good at it, and tries to avoid conflicts with anyone who'd seek to harm her.

Looks good to me, but I've just one question; what sort of form does her Cloud avatar take? Only if she's going to hacking and Cloud surfing and so forth I'm probably going to have to write bits with her viewed from another Cloud Cowboy/Cowgirl's perspective, or from the PoV of an AI, I'll need a rough idea of what her avatar looks like.

Okay, I added a small description to my original post.

Her cloud avatar looks like she does in real life while wearing her jacket and mask, but is slightly transparent.

The second the read that The Grove Street Gang are in this RP I knew I had to sign up!

Okay, here's my character that I'm piecing together. I'll add more bit by bit.

Name: Betty Bridges

Alias/nickname: Black Betty

Gender: Female

Age: 26

Race: Caucasian, mixed with Hispanic

Nationality:

Career: Fixer

Skills: Forgery, hand to hand (you know I have to have that in my arsenal XD)

Gang affiliation (if any): none

Equipment:
Cybernetics:
Weaponry:
Clothing:

History:

Misc info:

Due to the stuff* that Real Life reminded joyfully, can be blown at me from a high powered fan...I'm pulling out of the game before it starts and I wind up letting people down...

Could have been fun...Sadly, stuff and most importantly, things have gotten in the way...

Sorry...Will watch from the sidelines on this one...

McBagere: Boo!

If you're able to come back in at any point, just let us know. There'll probably be space and it shouldn't be too hard to slot you into the RP ("Hey, Black Betty, we're going to need some extra muscle for this job!" "Not a problem, I know just the guy" and the problem is solved).

ImperialSnob: Welcome aboard! Have you read the background stuff I've put up yet, as that will make your life a lot easier. And maybe tone Duncan down a bit, too? He's kind of verging on being one of those characters who's absolutely unstoppable and great at what they do, and that generally makes for a not very good RP.

...Mouth punching ahoy!!... ...Sorry, only just saw that... ...

Well he's a double edged sword,very smart but not the best at combat.

He dosen't know EVERYTHING or how to hack EVERY single computer but he is quite good at it.

This still up? Just asking.

Well, I'm definitely still interested in this rp. But it's been a while since anything happened, so I don't know.

I guess I'll keep waiting then.

Sooooooooooo.......is this still a thing?

If Colonel Mustard shows back up, it might be.

Yeah, the colonel is the one who knows the plot and the setting the best, being the one who made it and all that.

Name: Jason Hallab
Alias/Nickname: The Fool
Gender: Male
Age: 27
Race: Caucasian
Nationality: United Federation of Britain

Career: Mercenary/Spy
Skills: Small Firearms, Persuasion, Blade Weapons, Perception
Equipment: Digital Binoculars

Cybernetics: An earpiece communication device, able to contact any other of its kind, often used by soldiers and gangsters to keep in touch, due to its minimally invasive nature; Sharpened Incisors
Weaponry: Submachine Gun, Superheated Short Blade
Clothing: A Black-Turquoise jakcet, a white shirt, with jeans, a pair of black combat boots, and a pair of iridescent sunglasses.

History: Jason came from the UFB at the age of 18, having left his home in Wales. He came from a family of cybernetic surgeons, but didn't care for the craft, taking only the most basic of implants and augmentations for himself, after seeing a friend glitch out into insanity. This led to a by and large distrust of implants that alter the brain, so he stays away from those. He made his way to Las Vegas, starting himself in the business of corporate espionage, also acting at times as a hired gun for private clients. He earned the nickname the Fool because of his choice of weapon: a superheated blade. Long outdated, they use a laser that refracts inside the blade, turning it red-hot.

Miscellaneous Information: Jason has black, spiked hair, ala Adam Jensen, as well as green eyes. He prefers not to deal with any of the MAJOR major corporations, so he's not made any big money yet.
