Spy-Game: (sign-up)

[Darth SS]

Bond. James Bond.

Those words have echoed through the generations and are very beloved by us. The secret-agent man *crazed song* is that one lord of ass-kickery we all aspire to be. Be it Ethan Hunt, John Clark, Domingo Chavez, Solid Snake, Sam Fisher, or the almighty James Bond, we all look up to them and admire them.

This RP gives us a chance to be someone like them at a literary level. Now, I'm going to come out and admit one very large thing right now. I don't have a story in mind. If you sign-up for this, you're telling me that you want a good story, and aren't going to dissolve this into crazed bickering.

As for how this should be played...

In some respects, I want this to be realistic, in some respects, I want this to be fun.

Realistic:
-We'll need to go to safe-houses occasionally
-We'll need authorization every once in a while
-There are counter-intelligence people after us, and the governments WILL kill us given the chance.
-No magic/demons/gods/sentient machines
-No obscenely outlandish gadgetry, like a nano-bot stealth suit
-You do have to worry about getting and out of a country without alerting the wrong channels
-Nothing too outlandish in general.

Fun:
-You can be a master of disguise (to a degree) and a master of stealth and a master combat all at once
-We can have obscenely large shoot-outs
-Yes, we can sleep around. You may rejoice now.
-Yes, megalomaniacs can be very much crazy.
-Doesn't have to be strict by and by the book.

I'll provide a very lengthy first post that introduces the situation, and the background, and you all get to proceed as you please from there. If you can find some way to logically make the entire thing into a plot that some small nation is planning to launch a nano bot rocket that will eat the WORLD, do it. That's good story-telling.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Name: Drake Carsen
Country&Agency: Germany, BND (Federal Intelligence Service) Note: BND is actually short for Bundesnachrichtendienst, though thats translated.
Age: 24
Gender: Male
Appearance: Changes quite a lot actually. Drake here is a master of disguise. Though he normally takes a look of a plain simple man. Short brown hair with brown eyes. Clean shaven, and a simple suit.
Demeanor: Calm. He seems to have no fear in him. He seems to never be surprised either.
Weaponry: 2 silenced Walther P99 pistols.
Gadgetry: Your standard basic hacking utility. Allowing for disablement and reconfiguration of any nearby computer or electronic. A voice altering module. May be used with hacking utility to download any type of voice. Simple plastic surgery so that Drake has no fingerprints. Lockpick. Grappling hook. A stealth suit which, when folded properly, can fit in your back pocket.
Background: Drake has been smoove all his life. His skills in fast talk have been said that he could talk a dude into having sex with his sister. Its not really sure how he developed this skill, he just always seem to have a knack for it. In school, he was the kid you would go to for, say anwsers to a test, or a copy of a completed peice of homework. Teachers knew he had it, they just never bothered to ask him why.

It was around highschool that his talents started to really show. He noticed that he could do a really good impression of quite a few people. He talked one of his friends into letting him see if he could disguse himself as him. He managed to pull it through (And made 20 bucks on a bet at that.).

Once he got out of highschool, he was at a loss at what to do. Somehow word of his skills reached the BND. So they sent someone to recruit him. After a long discussion, Drake agreed to join up with them. Though he did managed to get twice as much of a salary out of the deal, along with free housing, health, and dental.

Once he joined with them, he went into training. this took quite a few years to get him up there, but once done, he was one of the best. Sometime during his training he got the surgery to remove his fingerprints. They also trained him in using all kinds of weapons, stealth, and disguses. He has pulled a few jobs for them, but its only been about a year since he completed training.

Preminitions- No.

Inbred- Isn't that just the...CIA? Beyond that, no problems.

[Sprinkle_Death]

Name: Alexis Snow
Country&Agency: Russia; CSS (Committee for State Security)
Age: 25
Gender: Female (girl spies would rock)
Appearance:
Alexis stands at 5'6" and has a slim, yet sexy build. She has shoulder-blade length black hair and her bangs slightly cover her black eyes. She usually wears a short dress, some form of collard shirt and sports jacket, and a tie. High-heeled shoes are a usual form of footwear.

She also has a seperate uniform for espionage missions. This is a basic, form fitting stealth suit.

Demeanor: Very calm, collected, and confident. She is also very sarcastic.
Weaponry: Twin black 6P9 sinlenced pistols, a concealed army knife. An OSV-96 sniper rifle.
Gadgetry: Nightvision, thermalvision, and EMF all in one goggle. A lockpick, an optic cable, a recorder that can hear through most surfaces (cannot hear through anything thicker than a normal wall). Communications earpiece.

Background: Alexis Snow was born in the United States. Shortly after her birth, her parents moved and took her to Russia, where they became members of the soon-to-be dismantled KGB. Her mother was an informer for the KGB, and she was stationed in Prague, Czechoslovakia. Her father was a spy, and he conducted espionage and sabotage missions throughout Europe.

Because of her parent's situation, Alexis never really knew her parents. They called her when they got the chance, but from what she can remember, she has never actually seen her parents. She was raised by her neighbors, who also worked for the KGB. However, the neighbors had jobs a few blocks away from their houses in Moscow.

When Alexis was a teenager, her parents stopped calling her, and her neighbors adopted her. They were no longer members of the KGB, as it had been abolished a few years before. Her neighbors brought her up and raised her. They tried to interest Alexis in other things than syping and espionage, but they could not shake this desire from her mind. When Alexis turned twenty, she joined the Committee for State Security as an informer and spy. They had her travel to China and take up a job as a secretary in the Chinese government.

I'm going to toss out that this is the best sign-up thus far, but I retain faith that Inbred won't let me down.

You're accepted, with my only comment being, stick to just Russia. I have no doubt we'll get plenty of Americans.

[Raiden]

First question: Are all us spies going against each other, or is it just plot willing what's going on?

I'll get a profile up in a bit. Don't worry Darth, it will be the Raiden quality you expect and love.

[MC43]

I don't have the time to get anything up as of yet seeing on how I have a class in a few minutes, and I'm not in my dorm rrom, but this has caught my fancy. To just get dibs, I call the "Solid Snake" HTH spy.

[Darth SS]

All of us spies are not neccesarily going to be against each other.

But, let's say that Alexis finds information that pertains to the security of Japan, and she's going to turn it in to the russians, then Zeirendo will most likely try to stop her.

And once again: You guys decide the plot.

And on another note: This isn't neccesarily a Splinter Cell clone. I know that I'm personally going to take a more Tom Clancy style to how things get done.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Okay, so I just totally revamped my character. I don't know if the organization will be approved or not though.

[Darth SS]

No. No mercenaries. For one thing, I doubt that you could make an entire company of spies, especially since security companies now are under intense scrutiny.

Furthermore, I highly doubt anyone would go into a foreign country under a false alias, steal government information, dodge assasins, find someway to escape the country without being detected, and then live the rest of their lives fearing extradition and possible assasination. Especially as a day job, unless they're working for some higher ideal like their country.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Okay, your going to have to give me a day or two to think up something then.

[Darth SS]

Wikipedia has a long list of different countries' agencies. Just go there.

Here's my dood.

Name: Brandon Walt
Country&Agency: Canada, RCSA
Age: 36
Gender: male
Appearance: He's tall, blonde, and muscular. The man could be a model. However, there are scars on his forearms, and one on his cheek. Usually, he wears casual, but sometimes is seen in a business suit. Unlike other spies with expensive stealth suits, for infiltration he just wears a cardigan turtle neck sweater, black pants, gloves, black boots, and tosses an equipment harness over that. If he's likely to be shot at, he'll wear a bullet proof vest.
Demeanor: It's a job to him, a job he doesn't want terribly. He'll joke around, cut corners, and has the innate ability to make any situation that much worse.
Weaponry: First of all, he despises knives, and it's all anyone can do to make him carry a river knife at all times. When he doesn't think he's going to be shot at, he carries an HK P7M8 under his armpit, under a jacket. When it's highly likely someone will shoot at him, he carries a Ruger P90. When infiltrating, he gets bigger again. There's a Glock 17 on back-up, and a silenced HK USP. However, quite often, he can't smuggle guns into a country and has to get something/anything from...not-so-legal sources.
Gadgetry: Well, he's got a cell phone that can emit different radio frequencies, sunglasses that make more of the EM spectrum "visible" and he's got a rappel gun that's no larger than his Ruger.
Background: Around 2008, the international community decided that Canada wasn't pulling their weight and instead was only half-assing their international war-on-terror contributions. This came about after they didn't send Peacekeepers for the first time, and after there was a rather messy shoot-out against Hamas militants at an Israeli embassy in Ottawa. Determined to solve this, the government set about overhauling damn near everything. CSIS was the first thing on the cutting block. Years of ineffectuality bore down on them, and the agency was torn limb from limb. In the aftermath, counter-intelligence, counter-terrorism, national security, and counter-proliferation duties were taken from the RCMP and given to a new agency. The Royal Canadian Security Agency. Brandon has been a soldier since high school, and holds a teaching degree, a PhD in astrophysics, and a degree in Political Sciences. He was part of the Royal Canadian Regiment for ten years, then joined Joint Task Force Two. His run there lasted for another eight years and he left the forces. He was going to become a teacher, but was forcibly hauled out of retirement to become a spy for RCSA. He's one of their first spies, and is now conducting his first ever operation.

[Psycho Mantis]

What kinds of things will we be doing? Shooting henchmen by the bucketload? Car chases? Rappeling down buildings while battling helicopters?

or
Sneaking around? Planting bugs? Assassinating people?

Basically: Is this gonna be more like a Bond film, or Munich?

[Darth SS]

Answer: Both.

Once again, I don't have the plot made-up, and we'll all make the plot together.

I would personally prefer a nice cross between the two. Like sneaking in, planting bugs, getting a quiet assasination, and then being seen and needing to bust out into a huge gun-fight, run down the side of a building, and then hop into a car to make a break-neck getaway run.

There's no guarantee that car would be a spy-car either. It could just be whatever you can steal.

[Psycho Mantis]

Sweet. I'll start making my character.

[MC43]

All right, I'm gonna do this now so I don't forget to do this later...

Name: John Riker (Codename: Myth)

Country&Agency: USA, NSA (National Security Agency)

Age: 32

Gender: Male

Appearance: Stands about 6' with messy, long dark brown hair, and a messy beard that looks as if it hasn't been touched for about a week. To start a mission, will usually wear camo that will help blend easy, including forest, desert, winter camo ect. Around his head is a black bandana that hides the top part of his eyes. (In case you are wondering, yes, it's pretty much a rip of snake, but I like his character.)

Weaponry: Mostly OSP (On-site procurement) but likes to start off missions with a combat knife attached to his chest, and a silenced tranq pistol for non-leathal kills. However, has an extensive range of abilities with all weapons. He is also skilled in CQC (Close Quarters Combat), or disarming, take down, and knock out moves.

Gadgetry: Again mostly OSP, carries with him basic medical suppiles (Splints, suture kit, antibiotics, ointment, bandages ect.) Again, has a wide range of abilities on most gadgets.

Background: John was always one to get into trouble, but the thing was that no one was able to get any proof that he had done any of it. He could sneak into locked rooms, camera watched buildings, and guarded facilities with ease, not once being caught, but always bring evidence with him that he was in fact there in the first place. Brought in by the NSA for his impressive skills of getting in and out places, and gathering intelligence where few others could, he is considered the best when it comes to that sort of thing.

One other thing of note is that he hates the idea of wasting life. If at all possible, he tried his best to sneak into a complex and avoid contact, if not, he uses non-leathal take downs, then will resort to fatalities when up against the wall.

Smooth Quote: "I'm the Myth no one ever told you about..."

[Darth SS]

You're tentatively accepted. If you could make him a bit less Snake-ey, that would rock.

[Psycho Mantis]

Name: Jack Warner (Codename: The Wolf)
Country&Agency: USA, NSA
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Appearance: Average height, and well-built, he does not stand out in crowds. His eyes are a piercing shade of blue, and his dirty-blonde hair compliments it perfectly.
Demeanor: Witnesses always describe 'The Wolf' as a charming, polite man, with a very quick-wit. His personality is disarming and he blends into crowds seemlessly; that is what makes him so dangerous.
Weaponry: Silenced 9mm pistol, sniper rifle, car-bomb, cyanide, piano-wire
Gadgetry: Nothing in particular.
Background: 'The Wolf' has long been suspected to be the US's premier over-seas assassin, but no definite proof has ever surfaced regarding his loyalties or actual identity. Wherever 'The Wolf' goes, people turn up dead. Either by gunshot, strangulation, poison, or, his personal favorite, car-bomb. The man seems to have no family, and he never stays in one place for long, moving from safehouse to safehouse quickly and often.
Smooth Quote: "Bourbon. On the rocks."

Hows that, Darth?

[Darth SS]

It's good. You're in.

I'm still waiting on Raiden, and Inbred, and then I'll probably start this up.

[Inbred Chocobo]

Alright Darth, how bout now?

[Darth SS]

That'll do.

Also, since I hate vague terms like 9mm, seeing as you probably don't know what that means, this is a good gun website: http://world.guns.ru/main-e.htm
