The Division - Rebooted [OOC]

[Siphran]

Sure, go right ahead. I will be slow on responding to anything on RPG, OOC or IC, until this afternoon.

[Red Beret]

Just bump bump bumpin' it, bumpin' it up!

[Siphran]

Hey Red, I'm going to have to abscond for tonight. The only free time I will have available is tomorrow between lunch and my night class, and that is tentative. It is possible I might not be able to post until Wednesday.

[Red Beret]

That's fine, this was more for MasterCrew's benefit anyway... since he's been asking about it. XD

[Siphran]

Understood. Nevertheless, I will try to get a post up asap.

[Siphran]

Holiday break right here.

[Red Beret]

Holidays kill everything. x_X

Still haven't heard from MasterCrew, so... no hurry.

[Hokan]

Hey, siphran sent me this way and, if I read the OOC right, you have a spot for a character (vincent1's I believe). If that is the case, i would love to take that spot, and I already have a character concept in mind. He would be a tech guy whose main focus is on his homemade gadgets compared to guns and actual weaponry. I'd love to e a part of this one because it looks awesome.

Thanks
Hokan

[Red Beret]

Go ahead and throw up a CS and I'll review it.

Physical Appearance:

Standing almost in a constant slouch, Edward will almost always have his hands in some kind of pocket, messing with things. He prefers wearing leather jackets and jeans when at all possible. He finds the ideas of facial hair appalling and trashy so will keep himself clean shaven. He wears a pair of "gamer glasses" at all times.

Significant Features:

-Tattoo of large cog on left shoulder blade. Inner circle of said cog has an artistic rendition of a circuit diagram
-Scar from a split lip that never healed properly. Lower lip right side.

Work History:

As with most ex-hackers these days, Edward got his start on the streets. Hacking into stand-alone ATM’s, Getting into security systems inside large banks, if it could be hacked there was a large possibility he had done it. Along with hacking he has developed, and feild tested, new gadgets and tools for MI-6.

Background Information:

Edward was raised in the side of town you didn't want to go to. He spent his childhood in, well, the hood. Actually, that isn't entirely true. Edward loved to learn. He loved to learn so much that he would spend as much time as he could in the local library. About the time he turned thirteen, the local library had gotten itself a brand new computer system complete with computers for library goers to use. He spent all his time on those computers, using the broadband internet connection to learn new things. What made them work? What was inside of them? He had answered this plethora of questions by the age of fifteen. With this research however, he learned that computers weren't so secure as he had thought.

He wondered if he could do it, could he get into the library’s filing system? Granted, it wasn't anything too illegal, and if he was caught, all that would happen to him was a slap on the wrist at most, but you never know until you try. And try he did. It took him no less than three attempts to get into the official “secure” records, and he was hooked.
Fast forward to age twenty, Edward had moved out, gotten a day job at a tech shop (which he was siphoning money out of but no one knew). By night however he was building gadgets in his free time, which he sold to the mob.

One night, when he was out hacking into ATM’s for kicks, he was approached. The person who approached him had an offer. The person had seen Edward around town and had learned what he was capable of through word of mouth. He offered Edward a position in a bank heist, which he accepted. The bank job went sour and he was caught. He was promptly sent to jail.

While sitting in his brand new cell, someone in a suit came to him. He introduced himself as 'no one of consequence' and said that there was someone who would like to talk to him. The man escorted Edward out of the cell, and ultimately out of the jail, in handcuffs to meet someone. The person who he met was the head of the weapons lab at MI-6. He told Edward that he had seen some of his agents come home with wounds caused by Edwards gadgets. The man was impressed with what they had been able to accomplish and then he made Edward an offer. Either work for him, or go back to jail. The choice was obvious.

About half a year into working for MI-6, he felt that his inventions were lacking, they weren't as effective as some of his earlier gadgets. It took him time to figure out why but eventually he traced it to one possibility, that they weren't getting the proper tests done. After much arguing with his supervisor, he was finally allowed to go out and test what he made in the field. After completing all the necessary training to become a field operative, Edward was able to test and perfect his gadgets to the quality they are today.

Languages:

English (Native)
French (Conversational)
C++


I've always Been bad at CS’s because I feel like their a start and aren't truly accurate. As I play the character, provided I get the chance, ill update the CS to match how I'm playing him. There are a few things I know will be constant.

The skinny on Edward:
-Cocky in Conversation, Confident in action
-More of a gadget guy, and will use those or hand to hand combat
-Think of Basher from the Oceans 11 Series
