Big Bad Wolf Limited: Sign-up

[Trienam]

Name: Katherine “Kay” Arson
Age: Twenty two
Sex: : *Thinks you’re immature for asking*
Class: Specialist/ Sharpshooter
Equipment/Abilites: M14 Rifle, Revolver and will sometimes carry a Shipka SMG when she’s just feeling lazy.

Description/Personality: She often has to ask for help reaching for high objects. The most girly thing she has are pink half-finger gloves. She sometimes wears an old beaten puritan hat she picked up in Holland. Her favorite shirt is her black background Rammstein, fiery R and cross. For kicks she wears an old fashion gunslinger’s belt with her revolver. Her ear piece is intermingled with her inky hair.

Slightly happy go lucky, considering the work she’s employed in. Naïve to a fault,

Bio/Background: Kay first saw action under her father in Dublin. After a bomb drop, they were made by a patrolling police officer. Easily the rookie of the set at fifteen, she shot the man. With an odd uneasy her father encouraged her saying she did a good job. Ever since then she has been learning weapon systems and spending extra amount of time at the rifling range.

After years of the same dumb old bomb drop, her father was finally caught and promptly executed. Since that time Kay has been more or less misplaced. For a few years she tagged along with some backpackers across Europe. The backpackers mostly just kept her along as an amateur bodyguard. It was at a showing of cowboy western “For a Few Dollars More” that would bring her back to first love of the fire arm.

Still with no idea of how to go about finding work, Kay signed up for short term projects with other Merc groups. The one time she gets accepted they tried to sell her into slavery. “Tried to” because she shot the first man, who touched her, in the crotch; and the others just didn’t see the profit in doing such. They were moderately surprised and let her tag along just for kicks. She stayed with them a few years, happy to be apart of something. Again it would be a show of violence that would displace her. A bad job on the oceans sent Kay adrift.

She ended up in the Americans this time. At a very odd and confusing time in her life, a bar jerk threw her a joke add for a bogus group called Big Bad Wolf Productions. She sought out the work anyways. Kay now works as a utility sharpshooter.

((Ohkay I’ll fight for the last spot. I’m just having difficulty figuring out what abilities would fit with this type of character))

[Masked Jedi]

Name: "Big" Tommy Black
Age: 29
Sex: Male
Class:: Gunslinger
Equipment/Abilites: Equiptment wise, he usually just carries around a pair of pistols. he doesn't care what kind, as long as they're light and powerful.
He has a minor psy power, an unconcious one: He has control over probability fields around him. In layman's terms, he's really lucky. He cannot control this ability, it just happens. It comes in handy a lot.
Description/Personality: He's short. 5'4. That's where the nickname comes from. He usually wears loose fitting balck clothes and a brown trenchcoat. He has spikey brown hair and a few tatoos. He's very happy-go-lucky, incredibly curious. If it weren't for his ability, he'd probably be dead already. He takes life one day at a time, just trying to have fun. He's a bit of a prankster, but generally a pretty cool bloke.
Bio/Background: Tommy was born on the mean streets of London, where he was initiated into the criminal lifestyle at a young age. He was considered both a somewhat annoyingly energetic young punk, and an expert with the gun. he was a valuable man to have on your side during a gunfight. His agility, skill, and luck got him quickly recognized in the eyes of Jules Vincent, the local mob boss. He joined Vincent's crew as a theif/hitman, basically doing whatever odd jobs were needed. Despite his skill, his devil-may-care attitude made him small fry in the mob. Frustrated by his low status, and convinced he could do better, he and a few associates plan to leave, and to get revenge on Vincent for ignoring their talents. They knew of a big bank robbery Vincent was planning. They followed the robbers, waited outside the building, and killed the robbers as they exited the buildingm taking their money and racing off. It would have gone well, too, but they didn't realize that one of Vincent's snitches saw them and ratted them out. The result was a bloodbath. many of Vincent's best men were killed, Vincent himself was critically wounded, and all of Tommy's associates lay dead. Broke and fearing for his life, Tommy fled to America, where he did some gang work before joing up with BBBL. He still is slightly paranoid, thinking that Vincent's traced him to America.

Alright, form here on out, if you want in, your going to have to PM me your character and impress me...we have more than enough people to start with.

I don't have time to go through the newer characters at the moment...that will have to wait until I get home from work tomorrow.

[Krylo]

Ranking as I see it.

TB's characters
|
Jeeve's (IHMN--Seems like a messenger between TB's and ours/servant to higher ups)
|
Luke/Jon
|
-----------------------------------
| ----------------| ----------------|
Doc ------------..| -----------Matt Collins
--------------Connor --------------|
-----------------| ----------Boomer/Other Matt
-----------Tanya/Viktoria
-----------------|
----------------Nick

Reasoning, from the top.

TB--Boss.

Jeeves--Seems like he would be a servant to the higher ranking members and could be used as a messenger service, as opposed to a field agent.
Luke/Jon--Not sure which of them could be the team leader. Luke has all kinds of experience, and Bosolai's powers seem good for a leader. Whichever isn't the leader will probably be right below him, or wherever on the ranking the player wants.
Matt Collins--Seems to be special ops-y. Not someone your combat commander orders around, but not someone who orders around the basic combatants, either.
Doc--Doctors tend to be able to over ride everyone, but, again, they shouldn't be giving orders to the common soldiers. Also seems like they'd be better off not taking orders from the basic commander.
Connor--with the happy stickers he HAS to be in command somewhere. This seemed the best place.
Boomer--Demolitions seems like it should be under black ops, and the way he blows up squirrels makes him unlikely for command.
Other Matt--Sniper. Obviously Special ops.
Vik--She said she was a basic soldier, thus there she goes.
Tanya--Youth does not commander make.
Nick--He's a weapon and kinda uncontrollable. Anyone can tell him what to do... he won't always listen, though.

That's just the way I see it, though.

Also, I didn't do the characters after TB's cut off (which would have been ugainus)

[IHateMakingNames]

Regardless of rank, Jeeves would treat himself as a servant to those around him, so it would be odd to promote him. I figured he'd be under the field leader, but not an actual ranked officer, since his ability is so useful for them. Plus he's 12.

[Bosolai]

Updated Jon's psychic whisper to meet stipulations.

Also, I think that Jon's personality would make for more of a great leader for until he gets distracted.

A situation I can see occurring easily:

Jon, filling the group in on his scout work, "Alright Tanya, there's three men patrolling the garden, one in the northwest corner, one on the steps overlooking the fountain, and one heading towards the entrance, and he looks like he doubles back between there and the fountain every forty seconds. Viktoria, there's two guards waiting on the rooftop, and one more at the bottom of the stairs leading to it. Connor, there's... Why hello Miss Ver--"

Over the comm link, "Jon?"

Another voice responds, "He must've run into Lady Vertila, he'll be a couple minutes, might as well start without him."

[Demetrius]

Name: Lee Griffon
Age: 33
Sex: Male...and "Now, Bitch, I don't ask nobody!"
Class: Pistol Slinger, Bullet Dodger
Equipment:A Bentley, 2 main pistols, 4 additional sidearms, variety of specialized ammo and grenades, 2 stun batons, body armor. All equipment is custom, I will add the exact details a little later.
Abilities: Third Eye ~ Due to years of mental training and discipline, Griffon has the ability to sense his surroundings through a minor metaphysical talent, this allows him to react to threats from all directions, but only within the distance range of his normal eyesight, no seeing around corners/through boxes. When using this ability he sees himself almost in the third person.
Quick Shot, Ambidexterity, Rapid Reload, Martial Arts, Gun Kata (yeah, I stole that), First Aid, Acrobatics
Description: At first glance Lee doesn't give off any vibes that are out of the ordinary. Standing 5'10" and 190 lbs, with shaggy blonde hair, grey eyes, thick eyebrows, and sporting a wolf tatoo on his shoulder, Griffon looks like he should be riding the waves or talking up some chicks at a bar. Those who catch a glimpse of him during combat will remember his grey eyes seemingly lit from within, his body a taught line weaving itself into a dancing blur of motion and death and the feeling that he saw more than he could. He is often dressed in genuine Hawaiin shirts with khakis of the pant or shorts variety, unless hes at work. At the office he favors jeans and a sport coat, on combat missions he is dressed in loose fatigues (these are color appropriate for whatever sort of work he is doing) that allow for easy movement and a quick transition to battle dress.

Personality: Griffon is good, and knows it. This leads to brash behavior without strong leadership to keep him in line. Often he forgets to use any strategy other than to jump in and then figure out what to do. While he is arrogant, he isn't completely suicidal. He will follow orders, once his leader has proven himself to Griffon. Griffon fancies himself a lady's man, but usually just comes off as an arrogant jerk, but that doesn't seem to discourage him.
Due to his prowess and arrogance he refuses to carry any firearm but his fully customized pistols, and if hand to hand combat comes up his favorite solution is stun batons. Griffon is a favorite pick for missions involving the need for some comic relief (his attempts at espionage can be quite hilarious to other team members), or straight up run and gun jobs.
Bio/Background: Griffon grew up priviledged, he went to private schools, trained under the best coaches and had a promising career ahead of him in his Father's business. Office life, however, was not for Lee. Running away from home with his Bentley and only a million dollars to tide him over, Lee joined the Marines at 16 with a fake identity (cash is handy in those situations). Lee showed incredible aptitude and mental capability in the area of on the fly strategies and he didn't seem to mind the idea of killing. After 2 years in the Marines he was opted into a deep cover unit. They were the type of guys dropped from an airplane at night in the middle of hostile territory with no backup, were expected to accomplish their mission and hump it back without detection. After finishing several tours, 2 years and too many friends, Lee opted out and set out on a journey of self discovery. During that time he hiked up a mountain in Tibet, joined the monks there for 2 years, learning their ways of being outside yourself. This prompted another 8 years spent travelling and developing his own sort of Gun-Fu. After finally running out of money, Lee ran into the problem of having some not very marketable blue collar skills. Refusing to give in and admit that his Father had been right, Lee settled for a $10/hr job at a job at a security firm. A couple years back the company ended up with a contract a little out of their depth, BBW Ltd. had been called in, Lee had been the security representative. Seeing what BBW Ltd. had to offer, Lee had asked for a job on the spot. He was hired after proving himself to Whistler and has been with the company ever since.
As a side note, his relationship with his parents has been improving now that he is in a situation he enjoys and his Father can see the sense in, money for services that is.

[Ugainius]

Trien, your knowledge of Irish culture better be impressive cos I'm holding nothing back when it comes to the motherland.

Edit-I'm going to do some light tweaking on O'Donnell

[Toastburner B]

My apologizes for not posting earlier...I ended up being sick today...and so I ended up playing Persona 3...for about 9 hours.

So give me some time to read up and I'll dis/approve of the characters.

EDIT

You know what…I’m in a generous mood, so everyone who has posted or PMed is now in.

Don’t make me regret it later.

However, the sign-up portion of this RP is now closed.

ugainis: Approved.

SaigoKusunoki:: Approved…on the stipulation that if that sword of yours suddenly starts to manifest magic powers or is suddenly able to cut through anything, Whistler will drop a train you on…I will find a way to make it so.

Sorry…color me paranoid, you get the idea.

Demetrius:Approved…just don’t go overboard with the bullet dodging thing.

Trienam: Approved.

Masked Jedi: Approved, with stipulations. The term “very good luck” is mighty vague. Can you clear that up a touch? Or…choice B (as in Bwhahahahaha!) we keep it vague, but it comes with the added side effect of occasional bad luck, which is either inflicted on yourself, or by me…mostly for comedy relief.

Rhyia(via PM): Approved…though I would like to know more exact distances on the range of the animators.




Edit 2: I currently working on a ranking system a la Krylo's, but with the new people and a little more defined.


Alright...so maybe I lied about the whole roster thing.

Here is what I got:

.................[b]Grey[b]
......................|
......................|---Natalie (contact between the CEO and the field teams)
......................|
......................|...
...............Whistler
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,|
......................|
......................|
|---------------|------------|-----------------|
Team 1........Team 2.........Team 3............Specialists


The teams I am somewhat loathe to designate myself...so I want to see if you guys would be willing to figure that out for me.

The way I figure it is that the stealth/scouts would be one team, the specialist (such as medics, demolitions, butlers, etc) would be assigned to whatever team would need their skills. I figure the "grunts" could either divide into two teams, or stay in one uber team.

What I'm looking for is people who would volunteer to be "team leaders"...I'd like volunteers rather than to assign them, as they would have to stay somewhat active. I'd also like the "grunts" to divide themselves into two teams, if you can.

Questions, comments, complaints...just drop a line and I'll address 'em the best I can.

Grunts:
Nicholas Martins (Krylo)
Connor MacLayney (Darth SS)
Viktorya Williams (Armored Bishoujo)
Luke Parnol (IC)
Aerion Stormborne (SaigoKusunoki)
Katherine “Kay” Arson (Trienam)
“Big” Tommy Black (Masked Jedi)
Lee Griffon (Demetrius)

Stealth/Scout:
Tanya Greene (PhoenixFlame)
Jonathan Van Haugen (Bosolai)
Mathew Colins (Hawk)
Matthew “The Other Matt” O’Donnel (ugainius)

Specialists:
Robert Brown (Mr. Bookworm)
Jeeves ServingMcButlerton
Jaskin (Rhiya)
Jack "Boomer" McGee (lazy man)

[SaigoKusunoki]

Yep I understand. Had no intentions of magical anything in my character...but I understand. Im lookin forward to this. =)
