Bound By Blood (OOC) [Ignore Post Count; ALWAYS open]
Bound By Blood IC
In a world, ruled by mankind, there is a place where peace and harmony can be found. Unfortunately, Man and his quest for power have buried it. In the year 3097, a new source of power was found. Many wars were fought over it and almost 4 Billion lives were lost. After fighting this battle for almost 500 years, a temporary ceasefire was agreed upon between the three remaining powers. In the lands formally known as the Americas, the power known as The Coalition of Sigma was formed. In what was known as Europe, the power known as The United Front was formed. In the land of what used to be Asia, The Unified Independence was formed.
Although there is a ceasefire enacted, the three powers do not trust one another. All three powers are constantly building up their arms. The CoS is widely known for its aerial powers and has millions of warships. The nation is set by 5 layers. From bottom to top, there are the Slums, the factories, the military bunkers, the Middle Class, and the Upper classes. Outsiders are unwelcome. Each layer requires a card that most in the slums have never even seen.
The UF is a nation that has the strongest ground forces out of the three. Tanks, soldiers, power armor, this nation has it all. It’s only weakness is a lack of aerial support, but its anti-air capabilities are very good too. This nation has dug its way down making heavily fortified bunkers. The nation is set up so that there are three spires that radiate from the center capitol. Rules are extremely strict and there are harsh consequences to breaking them. Just about every place is set to automatically seal itself off and kill anything trapped before being declared safe. This makes it very dangerous and difficult to infiltrate.
The UI is the smallest of the nations, but it has the most advanced weaponry. Unlike the other nations, everyone is trained to fight. If one is unable to do what is required by law, they are used as targets in the constant war games. Every able-bodied man, woman, and child controls a mech. This makes up the majority of UI’s army. Normally, this would give a great advantage to the nation, but the limited supply and few people prevent them from being used in an assault so easily. Many would think that the smallest nation would be the weakest, but that would be very incorrect. The UI have perfected the use of AIs and the AIs control many of the defensive systems that surround and protect the base. The AI’s easily make up for the lack of the size of the nation.
Although each nation has a major advantage over the others, they have few ways to make up for the disadvantages against them. Each nation knows that if war is declared, it will be an all or nothing battle. Normally, this would be a simple thing that any nation would do, but there is a bigger problem. If one nation declares war on another, there is a very high chance that the third nation will attack the less defended one. It is this possibility that keeps the nations in check. Unfortunately, this caution is not going to be effective much longer….
There is an organization that has, over the past 800 years, infiltrated all three nations and plan on making the three weaken each other so that they will be defenseless against takeover. If nuclear weapons are launched, so much the better. The organization is too deeply rooted in the world for mere nuclear devices to force out. Luckily, there is hope for the world.
Surviving in the ruined wastelands outside the boundaries of the nations lives a rebel group. They go by many names, but they are most widely known as the Brotherhood of Blood. Many in this rebel group are murderers, bounty hunters, medics, mechanics, soldiers, and other categories of work. Most escaped from the three nations and most of that number came from the slum areas. All know that the lives in the nations are horrible and know that war is inevitable. Every member of this group has been scarred by combat. Friends and family are lost daily. To many, the rebel’s cause seems hopeless. They are outnumbered and outgunned. The only thing that they have going for them is the ability to survive.
Will this be enough to save the world? Are the rebels on their last legs? Will one nation eventually conquer all? Or will this secret organization’s plans for word domination ring true?
There is only one way to find out: Join the cause and fight for the survival of mankind!!

Liam is a very intelligent man, having grown up with what people like to call a "Sixth Sense." He could make very hard decisions very quickly and with no second thoughts, and they always ended up turning out for the better. He loves to read up on history, using past techniques and tricks in his fighting nowadays. He has never found love, and never even really taken a liking to women until these past few months. Now, he is slowly searching for someone to love, though he is very patient about it. On missions, you will almost never hear Liam talk, but when he is in comfort and almost safety, he will have easy conversations with those around him. He is not angered easily, but when he gets angry, people get scared, because he gets very loud very fast and even small annoyances will anger him further, to the point of violence, and that is definitely scary.
Battle Info -
Spoiler
Liam is the head assassin of the Brotherhood of Blood (yes, I have had this approved for those who have doubts). He not only runs operations and sends operatives out, but he also goes into the field himself as an assassin.
Weapons -
Spoiler
Wrist daggers (knives embedded in the wrist with neural-sensing technology to allow them to slide out when needed. They are made of extra-toughened silicone to prevent metal detection), Boot Knives (3 in each. All made of the same silicone that the wrist daggers are made of. One can be unsheathed from the top of each boot, another slides out the front as both a weapon and climbing utility, and the other slides out the back as a rear weapon. Both of the last 2 are using the same neural technology as in his arms. He has different pairs of shoes all with this technology, except the first knife-- only the combat boots have those.), A pair of plastic, silenced P99s (plastic everything, except bullets, which are made of refined quartz to be easily renewed and even recycled. this is also to prevent detection.). He also carries around several pills of a new instant-killer drug called Avalone just in case he gets captured. He keeps each pill in its own separate secret pocket as a last resort. He also keeps one in a very obvious pocket on his shoulder to fool the enemy into thinking they took his only pill.
Equipment -
Spoiler
He carries a PDA that helps him hack into equipment with an IR sensor on the top and can act like a computer if need be. He also carries a small earpiece that he can radio back to command with without ever having to reveal he has it. (He will sometimes just start talking to himself randomly if captured to make the enemy think he is just crazy, so he can talk freely without worry of detection.) Those are what he ALWAYS has with him in his single-strap backpack. He also carries any small equipment that is needed for that specific mission according to both his "6th Sense" and what his secretary tells him about his mission.
Position in the Military - Head of the Assassin Branch of the Brotherhood of Blood
History -
Spoiler
Liam was born of two simple people caught in the UF. At the age of 16, his parents were killed by officers. His dad by them for defending his mom, and his mom because she resisted the moves of the officers. Liam's hatred for any of the officers of factions grew until he heard about the good (and if need be, bad) men of the Brotherhood of Blood and so he stowed away on one of their ships after his hometown was asked if they could spare supplies and fuel.He made it to Antartica and there, he signed up for the Brotherhood, applying in the assassin's faction. He got in good with the head and ended up becoming his successor. Now, at the age of 29, he leads the Assassins as the second leader to ever go out into the field with his men. He is the 13th leader in line and now, as he has just started taking interest in women, is looking for a woman to fall in love with and then eventually to marry and help him either create or choose a successor.

Raven Rise
Name - Salazar Shrine
Gender - Male
Age - 63
Nationality - Brotherhood of Blood
Physical Description - Salazar is tall, standing 6'3". Due to medical advances, he is very strong and fast, and as healthy as any young adult, despite his age. He ha jet-black hair and intense blue eyes. He often ha a slight frown, and has a tattoo of a Hellhound on his right bicep.
Appearance - Salazar wears urban camo- simply stated, a pair of blue jeans and a black hoodie with a slightly larger hood than normal, to conceal his eyes if necessary. He also wears fingerless black leather gloves, and black combat boots.
Personality - If age has taught him anything, it's that an iron will assures victory. Salazar is as stubborn as an ox, and only complete facts will sway his opinion of something. Because of his incredible will, he can seem cruel and harsh at times, but does care for this close to him. At times he is prone to boughts of depression and rage, and can be very dangerous when stricken by either of those or a mix of both.
Weapons :
1. Salazar carries a pair of razor-edged metallic boomerangs. Powerful magnets and a microchip process the boomerang's coordinates, and with slight adjustments to the angles of the blades, like rudders, the Boomerangs will always return to his hands. They have no gripping edge, but Salazar's fingerless gloves were treated in a special way so that the boomerangs won't cut him. They have too black sheaths slung around his belt, and serve like hooked daggers in close combat.
2. SB27- a specialized, futuristic looking rifle. It fires concentrated blasts of sound that can rupture internal organs, destroy tissue, and even cause some weak walls to explode.
3. DDC-337- A standard assault rifle, equipped with a holosight that wirelessly communicates with a sensor Salazar attaches to his head like a Bluetooth headset. When he wills it, it can zoom, focus, or adjust angle, and as such working efficiently in any situation. When Salazar carries his DDC, he always wears two bullet-Baldrics, crisscrossing his chest and back.
4. While he does not carry them into regular battle, Salazar has a variety of weapons in his vault at the Brotherhood headquarters, however, they are situational. He also has an exo suit that increases his endurance and strength tenfold, but only uses it against enemies that he could not otherwise beat, believing that wearing exo suits is cowardly and dishonorable.
Position in the Military - Before joining the Brotherhood, Salazar was the leader of a gang known as the Marauders. Now he serves as a Colonel for the Brotherhood, oftentimes controlling infantry units. When at the base camp, he serves as a drill sergeant- anything to help the Brotherhood.
Battle Info - Infantry. Despite his lack of anything such as an exo suit or mech, Salazar is an incredible warrior, easily handling enemy soldiers, even when in said mechs and exo suits.
History -Salazar's history is a long and bloody one. He was the leader of an international crime cyndicate, known as the Marauders. In Robin-Hood style, the Marauders stole from the rich and gave what they took to the poor. Thy never attacked middle-class citizens however, as Salazar knew that they'd be no better off than the labored he was fighting to help if they took from them. Eventually, the governments of the three countries became fed up with the "Shenanigans" of the Marauders, and ended them. Salazar lost everything. After The Marauder's demise, Salazar joined the Brotherhood and fights to bring peace to the world. He has a great hate for most government officials, seeing them as corrupt and greedy, and seeks to kill every one that he deemed unworthy to govern. Salazar uses his experience as a commander and a warrior to aid the Brotherhood.

King Serperior
Name - Tobias Altus Gender - Male Age - 45 Nationality - None, has forgone all other countries in favor of the Brotherhood. Physical Description/Appearance -
Tobias is a tall, dark fellow. One of his arms was crushed beyond all repair and is now replaced with a mechanical one. In the same battle that he lost his arm, his face was burned beyond recognition. He wears a mask that covers what has been destroyed. He usually wears a combat suit at all times and rarely is seen without it. He is approximently 5'11''.
Personality - Normally calm and collected, Tobias always takes the opinions of his officers into account before making decisions. He has a severe distaste for unnessary violence, but this war has caused him to hold that part of himself back. Tobias knows that he is not a perfect man, and does act like it. He only wants justice in the world, and believes that ending the war-craved nations of their power is the only way. Battle Info - Tobias is the leader and Co-Founder of the Brotherhood. He takes his job seriously and handpicks his subordiates. He believes that when the time is right, the world will need leadership, and he is ready to take on that role if nessarry. Tobias is also a well recieved Mech Driver. Weapons -
Spoiler
Tobias carries a Semi-automatic .44 caliber pistol with 10 rounds per clip. Though this gun has high recoil, his mechnical arm takes the brunt of it.
He is a very capable martial artist, but he prefers to use his own power rather than the fancy tricks and combat styles typical of such moves.
Tobias' mechanical arm has four combat forms. From left to right, these are the arms' capabilities:
1). The most basic of the four arms, this one serves as his most used arm. It is 4X stronger than a regular human's arm. Unlike the other three, this one has the most dexterity and contains a system that allows for hacking into computers, storing data, and comunications.
2). Deemed "The Reaper," this arm is more skeletalized than the others. This allows it to intergrate weaponry onto it for battling on the go. It contains a 6 inch spike that is retractable.
3). More advanced than "The Reaper," this arm utilizes a cable-system. This means that three 5 foot cables can be launched and controled remotely. These cables are wire thin and have a sharp tip. This is the arm used in Recon.
4). The heaviest and most powerful of the arms. It requires a mini-nuclear reactor in the upper arm for power. This gives it the energy capable for up to 6 shots by a specially designed laser in the wrist. The laser can reduce a single human to ashes and has an effective range of 3000 feet. Any living being caught in the beam will either die, or suffer severe injuries.
Equipment - Tobias carries the standard equipment of a Mech Driver: Comlink, Neural implants, Small 3 day survival kit, suicide pills. Usually mechs carry needed equipment and supplies in various compartments. Mech -
Spoiler
http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs15/f/20...yingdebris.jpg Standing at approximently 30 feet tall, the Chimera is one of the most powerful machines in the Brotherhood's army. On the right side, there is a mobile machine gun that fires depleted Uranium rounds. The gun's firing radius is almost 360 degrees. The left side features a Rail Gun with an effective range of four miles. It takes about 10 seconds for the coils to charge and fire the round. The round travels at just over three times the speed of sound. The top of the mech features various launchers that fire missiles for almost any circumstance. The small, thin arms are used mainly for picking through rubble and repair. They are usually retracted in battle to prevent them from being damaged. The Mech's top speed is 45 Miles per Hour at full sprint. It has a tonnage of 120 tons.
Position in the Military - Leader of the Brotherhood; Commander in Chief History - Tobias was born under the influence of the Unified Independence's watchful eyes. From the moment he could walk, he was being trained. From the moment that he could speak, he was drilled in battle tactics and combat, as well as mech operations and repair. By the age of 15, Tobias was looking to be the most promising mech soldier of this generation. It was a year later, when he accidently learned of a change in power. The new leader was planning on killing the current Mech Soldiers and replacing them with his personal warriors. Tobias did the only thing that he could possibly do: He stole the experimental, new mech that the UI had been working on for tha past 20 years. After BSing his way to the mech, he ordered the technitions away and proceded to climb it. Using the neural implants placed in his brain from an early age, he began activating the mech's many systems. What he was doing was treason and he would be put to death for it, so there was no going back. Once the mech was fully operational, he targeted the thinnest portion of the hanger's wall and opened fire. With the alarms being sounded, mech drivers were running towards their machinery. This is the first time in history that the UI was being attacked from the inside! Over his Neural Implants, Tobias read the message to procede to his mech and engage the attacker. Obviously, Tobias was the attacker, so he ignored the message and began taking the shortest route out of the UI: Through the mech chambers.
On the way out of the UI, Tobias badly damaged, if not outright destroyed many of the sitting mechs as they were being boarded. Many of the mech drivers were too slow to get out of the way, so they were crushed by the bulk of the titan. It took almost 30 minutes to sucessfully escape. This is because the UI's defenses are designed to keep attackers out, not keep attackers in.
Once Tobias reached the coast, he had no choice but to place the mech into auto-pilot mode and let the AI navigate the ocean floor. If things went well, he would arrive at Antartica by the time the food and water was gone. There was enough air to allow for 4 months if required. Tobias then proceded to wait......
After arriving at the coast of Antartica, Tobias realized for the first time just how different it was. The ice was completely gone, leaving a large, raised rock shelf. Caves were dug into the shelf through both artificial and natural means. Upon arriving, the small town, if one could call it that, came to life as people rushed to defend it. Tobias tried to reason with them, going to even stepping out of the safety of the mech. This proved to the worst mistake of his life. Tobias was attacked and his arm crushed. His face was burned through the abuse by his attackers.
After a year of being held prisoner, Tobias was eventually set free by the leader of the small town. Over the next three years, the leader, a man named Johan, and Tobias began to build up an army. Everyone in the City was a refugee of war. They built the Brotherhood. There were many who left for weeks and came back with weapons, food, warships, supplies, and even some mechs and tanks. These things happened rapidly, but not rapidly enough.
By the time Tobias was 21, he met a woman who would become his wife. She was only known as Rose. She and Tobias married three weeks after they met. Nine months later, they had a daughter.
By the time Tobias was 30, he had risen through the ranks and became the leader of the Brotherhood. Ten years later, the Brotherhood was at it's peak. Training facilities, schools, farms, and even some industry was fully functional. Tobias was forced to stay longer in the complex, unable to speak often with his wife in person. He knew that his daughter was becoming strong, just like he was.
Now, five years later, Tobias's wife died of an untreatable cancer. Though Tobias was deeply saddened, he had to remain strong. If he did not hold, the Brotherhood would fail. It was getting close to the time that he set for a plan, 30 years in the working, to be activated. The nations would fall. If they did not, the the world was doomed......

Room for one more? Let me know if this bio's okay with you.
Name - Isabel Cervida
Gender - Female
Age - 25
Nationality - Born in CoS, (English-Spanish Heritage)
Appearance - Isabel is a woman of 5'8" with a little build and fair skin tone. She has wearied, smooth facial features; a number of premature wrinkles are starting to appear around her eyes and corners of her mouth. Isabel has light brown eyes with hints of green; her head of dark brown hair is mostly straight, but it is messy, often making Isabel keep it tied up in a braid to keep it in order. Isabel chooses to wear old, worn-out denim trousers, which have holes torn over each knee and show signs of much wear. She wears additionally a long-sleeved off-white shirt, and over all this a comparatively new dustcoat and wide-brimmed hat, both of which are olive green in color.
Personality - Isabel is a fiery, emotive woman, with a proclivity towards aggressive behavior. While she may be stubborn and arrogant, Isabel also is very determined, courageous, and works very well under pressure. Though she has some difficulty cooperating with others and comes off as quite abrasive, Isabel is a very genuine and honest person, she hides no secrets.
Battle Info - Infantry; Isabel is an adaptive, capable fighter, specializing in survival and the use of small arms. She is at her best working alongside people of other talents instead of on her own, either emphasizing her allies' strong points or serving to cover their weaknesses.
Weapons - Isabel carries an outdated semi-automatic 7mm rifle fed with 8 round box magazines, and a bayonet that can attach to the rifle or be used as a separate knife. She additionally carries a smaller folding knife on her person, although it is used more for purposes of utility rather than combat.
Equipment - Isabel wears an older, antiquated ballistic vest, which while lightweight, is ineffective for stopping anything more than a few shots from small pistol-caliber weapons.
Mech - N/A
Position in Military - N/A
History - Isabel Cervida was born in the slums of the Coalition of Sigma, and for the most part was happy living with her family despite the less than favorable conditions she lived in. Despite the poverty, she lived quite well for a time, at least, until the insurrection began. When Isabel was still nothing more than a teenage girl, a group of rebels looking to dismantle the Coalition government began to form in the slums; said rebels had managed to successfully sabotage several supply depots and steal quite a few shipments of munitions to fuel their own operations. To counter the threat, the Coalition created task force Talon to deal with the problem for them, effectively granting them near-absolute authority in the slums to do as they pleased.
Talon operated as its own independent military unit, only rarely reporting back to the CoS every so often to issue regular statements on their progress in tracking down the rebel element. In reality, Talon had established an unchecked dictatorship in the village; without the Coalition government there to keep the soldiers at bay, Talon was free to extort the people of the slum village for money and labor. Talon viewed the people of the slum as second-class citizens and felt no guilt in exercising brutish tactics in their search for the rebels. The rebellion very quickly shifted its efforts to uproot the dictatorship that had established itself in the slum village. Isabel's family suffered under the new, harsh rule; what little money they had was forcibly taken from them to fund the fight against the rebels.
Isabel and her family finally saw first-hand just what Talon was doing, that they were acting above and beyond the intended purpose that the coalition had created them for, the soldiers of Talon had become tyrants. Isabel's family decided that it was time to flee, but Talon was moving quickly to launch a surprise attack on the rebellion. The ensuing battle spanned the entire village, and in the chaos many civilians were injured or killed trying to escape the crossfire; Talon had become so careless that they did not view the safety of the slum-dwellers to be an issue. Isabel and here family were themselves hit during the battle, as their block was accidentally struck during a rocket artillery salvo, turning it all to rubble. Isabel herself was rendered unconscious by the collapse of their home.
When she next regained consciousness, she found she had been dug out and rescued by one of the rebellion soldiers. It was from him that she learned just what happened; the rebels sacrificed itself to defend the village from Talon, delaying the task force's advance just long enough to allow the civilians to escape. The rebellion was utterly crushed, but not before they had dealt a fatal blow to task force Talon. Talon was utterly decimated in the fight, its survivors scattering and disappearing; the name of Talon never to be heard from again. Unfortunately, many civilian lives were lost as well, not the least of which being Isabel's parents. Orphaned, Alexander knew that Isabel would not survive on her own if he simply left her with the rest of the survivors, so instead he took her with him.
Alexander raised Isabel as his own for the next ten years, taking her to the one place he knew she would be safe, in the presence of the Brotherhood of Blood. There he trained her how to fight, in hopes that one day she may be one of many to unify the world before the looming war tears it apart...

Of course you can join! I am not officially beginning this RP until I have 7-10 people or until Wednesday comes around, whichever comes first,
