The Professionals

[Crossfire]

----------------------------------PRIVATE--------------------------------
-----------------------------NOT ACCEPTING----------------------------------

Mission Statement: We are Clan Zero, a group of guns (and blades) for hire. We've all been betrayed by our countries, we've all got a reason for being here. You've got a job, we can do it, if you can pay.

Code of the Brotherhood:
-No godmodding
-No one-liners or post-spamming
-Respect the other players
-In the event of any arguement, I or the Co-GM, Mummer16, will settle the dispute
-If you're going to be away for a while, mention it here, or make
arrangements for someone else to take over control of your character
Any questions can be addressed to me via Private or Visitor message or a reply here in the OOC

Setting: 2035, Clan Zero operates out of several underground bases, strategically hidden under several major cities throughout the world. Our clients are anonymous to us, all we know is they are very rich people, (because simply hiring us costs $10 million)

Technology hasn't advanced much, the biggest change to weaponry being that most weapons are now outfitted with digital ammunition counters, and have the ability to fire different types of special ammo simply by selecting the option on an LED display installed on the side of the gun. And gadgets you've seen James Bond or other super spies in movies use? Most of that kind of stuff exists, as long as it isn't too sci-fi-ish.

MAL-SCARFACE (Crossfire)

Spoiler

Former Name: Malcolm Drevin
Code Name: Scarface
Age: 37
Appearance:
Nationality: American
Speciality: Leadership
Bio: Mal Scarface joined the military the moment he left high-school. He was eventually selected to join the highest level of American Spec-ops- 1st SFOD-D, or Delta Force. For almost 15 years Malcolm served his country, a decade of that was spent in Delta Force, before it all came crashing down. On a mission he led behind enemy lines, Malcolm and his squad came upon some classified information never meant to be uncovered. For simply mentioning this information in their report, Malcolm and his team were labelled traitors and all were dishonorably discharged. Some of them were imprisoned on false charges, some were killed, their deaths orchestrated to look like accidents. Malcolm himself got wind of this and went on the run, swearing vengeance on those who betrayed him and killed his friends and family. 5 years have passed since then, Malcolm now leads the clandestine mercenary squad known as Clan Zero.

BILLY-SCHOOLBOY (Crossfire)

Spoiler

Former Name: Billy Winchester
Code Name: Schoolboy
Age: 22
Appearance:
Nationality: Canadian
Speciality: Sniper
Bio: Billy was a good kid who had probably seen too many action movies. He entered the military at 19 and after finishing basic training, immediately applied for sniper training. While he was an excellent shot, he lacked discipline and never passed the course. He reluctantly joined the ranks as an average infantryman and was deployed overseas. He would return less than a month later on an honorable discharge from service after injuring his leg. A year after Billy re-entered civilian life, footage from his sniper training found it's way to Clan Zero. Team leader Scarface sent a letter to Billy offering him a position on the team, Billy accepted without a second thought.

DAVID-FALCON (kingkonrad)

Spoiler

Former Name: David Henderson
Code Name: Falcon
Age: 26
Appearance:
Nationality: British
Weapons:
FN Minimi Para (Holographic, Foregrip)
MP7 Silenced (Night Iron Sights)
P226 Pistol, Silenced (Laser Sight)
Gerber Knife

Speciality: Stealth/LMG
Bio: Ross was born in Bristol, England, and grew up reasonably well, but was always reasonably troublesome, always messing around when he was a lot younger, and it didn't pay off. However, he was a little cleverer than most, so actually finished pretty well, leaving college and deciding that he should sign up into the British Royal Marine Commandos, as an Officer. After two tours of duty in Afghanistan, he became experienced, and was beginning to be involved in more Spec-Ops operations, dealing in remote areas as an Anti-Insurgency force. However, one one mission, him and his fireteam were captured, and they were executed. He was spared, as an officer, and was instead shipped over the border to Pakistan. Working on an escape plan, he worked his way out of where he was held, and killed two Taliban soldiers in the process, getting himself by some miracle to Islamabad. After this, he knew that he was classed as MIA, and decided that to return to his life would be nothing but questions, and suicide missions again. He believes that he was set up, along with the rest of his team, and instead, looked at joining a mercenary force rather than returning to the country that he believes used him as an expendable bait. Clan Zero took him in, and he quickly adjusted to working in a completely different way- with no constraints, and no limits. His talent lies in his cunningness, and brutality- his weapons combination is one that seems rather weird to understand. Using an FN Minimi Para, a compact high-fire rate, and mid-range LMG when he needs to go loud, and a MP7 and P226 for when he needs to go quiet, he is understandably a very versatile, yet deadly soldier, able to adapt to a situation when it needs him to. He can sneak into a base silently, and leave guns blazing. It weighs him down substantially more than a regular loadout, but when it comes to firepower and stealth in a versatile , look to Falcon

JAMES-LONGSHOT (Arlear)

Spoiler

Former Name:
James Renault

Code Name:
Longshot

Age:
27

Appearance:

And yes. He would totally walk through a city with his bow, quiver, and tux.

Nationality:
American

Speciality:
Stealth, assassinations, and engineering. Especially weapons engineering.

Bio:

History- Making it up as I go along. I suck at histories.

Personality- Around people he trusts, and in private, James can be quite a social person. He has a decent sense of humor, if a sarcastic one, and has interesting opinions on most things that make for good conversation. When he is not around those he trusts, however, he puts on a cold, withdrawn, and over serious personality.
He seemingly has no conscience, able to kill and maim and still sleep well at night. At least to the public eye. Anyone sharp enough to notice the smaller details would see there are permanent dark rings under his eyes, signifying a lack of sleep, and if they really know him well enough, they may have heard him ask if the faces of those they've killed haunt them, hinting that he does in fact have that issue.

ALEXANDER-KNIFE (rhodes626)

Spoiler

Former Name: Alexander Kent

Code Name: Knife

Age: 27

Appearance: [IMG] Uploaded with ImageShack.us[/IMG]

Nationality: American

Speciality: Close Quarter Combat, Electronic Surveillance Disruption

Bio:Knife was your typical 20 something Navy Gunners Mate until he joined the Seals, after joining the Seals he became a battle hardened veteran. On a mission his best friend was killed in action, instead of retreating he disobeyed a direct order and sought revenge, he killed everyone of the enemy with a knife in the back after he hunted them down. Because of this he was threatened with Court Marshall & a Dishonorable Discharge, he went into hiding underground

ALLEN-HELLCAT & KATE-VALKYRIE (Kilo6)

Spoiler

Former Name:Allen Barkhorn

Code Name: Hellcat

Age: 29

Appearance:


Nationality:United States

Speciality: He is a very adaptable soldier who is sort of the Jack of All Trades. While he isn't super good at everything, he is very well trained for any situation that might present itself. That's why his equipment that he carries ranges broadly.

Bio: Allen had never known his real parents and at age ten was adopted into a family that had also adopted a girl named Kate who was eight years old at the time. Since both them related with each other about how they never knew their families, they became very close as brother and sister. Their adopted parents taught them about critical thinking and making decisions based on logic and reason rather than just out of irrational feelings. As they began to utilize their skills as critical thinkers and skeptics, they began to feel isolated from most of the people they met due to how ignorant the rest of the world was to them. Allen and Kate decided they wanted to make a difference and protect the innocent, ignorant people of the world because they realized that what they had was a curse, a curse of self awareness that others did not have. They joined the United States Air Force and joined the Para-Rescue program adopting their motto "So others may live". This elite group of soldiers seemed to be just what they wanted and they went on many rescue missions with their fellow soldiers, but that all changed. They where assigned to rescue a VIP from a hostile area, but it all went very wrong. The officer of their squad shot fifteen unarmed civilians on purpose and shifted all the blame on both Allen and Kate. Fearing for their own positions, their squad mates testified in the officer's favor and they were dishonorably discharged from the military. Feelings of betrayal, hate, and anger turned into just one thing.... Revenge. They are now just two cold killers ready to take on any job with accuracy and efficacy until they gain enough money to take revenge.

Former Name: Kate Barkhorn

Code Name: Valkyrie

Age:27

Appearance:

Nationality: United States

Speciality: She is much like her brother in the sense of being the Jack of All Trades.

Bio: Very similar to Allen's bio only personality wise she is a bit more emotional and expressive while Allen is more calm and composed.

ULF-ZE GERMAN

Spoiler

Former Name: Ulf Konrad Schneider
Code Name: Ze German

Age:32

Appearance:

Nationality: German

Speciality: LMG, Bomb-devices, Chemical-weapons

Bio: Ulf grew up in germany, in Cologne to be precise. He had a strict childhood under the surveilance of his father who was a pensioned Bunderwehr-officer. Soon he had to do military training in their back-yard and learn how to use and how to assemble and reassemble them.
But Ulf´s interrests layed somewhere else, he wasnt interrested in guns or military training, no he was rather interrested in the chemical part of the modern warfare of today.
Ignoring his fathers strict and abusive kind he quickly decided to make a apprentenship as a chemist when he was old enough. He simply left his family behind and started the trainee in Bayern at a local chemistry-company.
There he had the chance to fullfill his wishes and to join a company who developed chemical gases or devices for combat and warfare, the only problem, it was in france.
Ulf decided to go anyways, he was finished with germany and his bad memories about his raging and abusive father.

In french he worked serveral years in the company as suddenly the police and the local military police interupte dtheir work, the company were selling chemical compounds illegaly to countries in the near east who then wanted to use it against the civilized west.
All workers were about to be imprisoned to take care that no one was spared who also could have been in the lower ranks.
So Ulf was imprisoned and that would have been his end if he wasnt in france.
In france you have the chance to free yourself but only if you join the French Foreign Legion and that for 4 years.
Ulf´s decision was clear, he joined it and with that followed his father´s wish.
he was quiet aware of that, during his time in the Legion he started to like the life a soldier, the camaraderie, the living as an unit, it was..... simple and dangerous but perfect for him.
So after four years he had to leave the Legion but he doesnt want to leave the life as a soldier.
So wha do you do? You decide to be a merchant.

Ulf is a very easy going person mostly friendly and nice to hang around but it seems that a shadow is always laying him, the shadow of his abusive father and his wish that he has to join the army which he followed quiet suprisingly.
That shadow also follows him in combat he´s quiet cold blooded, maybe because he´s imaging his opponents as his father or the early lectures of his father made him numb against this, maybe that´s also the reason that he could call nobody his friend.

I forgot to mention in the OP, but here's the reason for the whole Former Name/Code Name thing: since our group are dealing in these kind of clandestine ops, and high-profile assassinations, we can't be caught, and we can't have our identities traced back if we ever are caught, so we've erased ourselves from history, so to speak, and to represent that, one of the 'codes' in the team is to never mention your old name, first names are ok on an informal basis, like when we're in between jobs, but on the job, we use code names only. For all intents and purposes, our new last names ARE our code names, that make sense? I'll probably go into more detail on this stuff in the IC, cuz I plan on having a 2nd character who's new to the group, giving us a reason to explain these kind of things.

[kingkonrad]

Updated. My character will be the sort of heavy-hitter- a commando with silenced weaponry, yet a soldier with some serious firepower at the same time. It makes him a little less mobile, but makes my character pretty effective at laying down fire when needed.

Also, can I have maybe a character who is...well, I guess inspired by the Juggernaut off of MW2/3?
