Who's gonna save the world tonight? [OOC]

[The Scotsman]

This is the Interest Check

Who's gonna save the world tonight?

A group of teenagers, not too far in the future, have grown up in the filth and scum that is Alpha City. Alpha City used to be the utopian paradise that sat on what used to be the sprawling metropolis of New York. After New York was destroyed by an enormous hurricane, the people of the Eastern coast of the United States pitched in to create the ultimate hub, and city, for future generations to follow. Instead, crime rates rose, and the prisons were emptied for work force to clean the cities, as the normal civilians were all completely busy with their own jobs. But instead of clean-up the dirty sidewalks, they rebelled and disappeared into the seedy undergrowth. 10 years after that, human life has returned to a degree of normality. But these kids, having never bent the knee to the school bullies or bitchy teachers, have had enough. They don the mask of anonymity, the mask of vengeance or hatred or whatever strong, venomous feeling runs through their veins, and go out into the streets of chaos and death, of anarchy and crime, to fight for what is rightfully theirs, and what will rightfully be their children's.

Here's all I have to say regarding rules and allowances and so on. Tell me if I have missed anything.

1. Follow me and HowlingWolf's orders (for lack of a better word), as I am GM, and he is my Co-GM.
2. You're character will be along the lines of Batman, V, The Comedian and Rorscach. There will be no super powers, only abilities that you have learned at some expense which will help you in this fight. For example, you might be a tech genius, or a melee master etc.
3. You're character will be under the age of 20 (so 19 and below basically).
4. Don't be a dick.
5. Attack and/or kill bad guys (depending on your policy).
6. Have a good time

And here is what I have to say regarding your vigilante. They can be an exact copy of Batman or V, or they could be a completely new and original concept. It's up to you.

YOU CAN HAVE 3 CHARACTERS MAX, BUT EACH MUST HAVE REASONABLE DETAIL AND EFFORT PUT INTO THEM.


CHARACTER SKELETON

CS
Name:
Vigilante Name:
Normal Appearance:
Vigilante Appearance:
Reasons for choosing this appearance (optional):
Age:
Country of Origin:
Personality (optional):
Biography (optional):
Reason for becoming a vigilante:
Skills that can be brought to the team:

Other (anything else you feel should be added):

So, yeah... I get the last two points in the CS are quite childish, but it's just to know who likes who etc.

This roleplay will be about an age rating of 15. Strong violence, probably bloody and possibly quite gory and strong language. Sex is not allowed (this is a roleplay with teenagers...), but some light-mild romance is allowed.

I would also appreciate it if the age's of the characters were quite varied. A nine-year-old could be quite useful in a sticky situation...

Your characters can attack each other without notice beforehand, but I don't just want random fights. Your posts before must show growing and bottled-up tension between the two characters.


My CS

CS
Name: Jack Reynolds
Vigilante Name: Smiles
Normal Appearance:

Vigilante Appearance:

Mask:
Body: with a plain black long sleeve shirt over the top.
Legs:
Boots:

Reasons for choosing this appearance (optional): Jack always being the joker of his group at school, decided he'd use his best quality whilst doing something he felt passionately about. Also, when the enemy seen the looming, creepy grin, they would most likely shit themselves, even if just for a second.
Age: 16
Country of Origin: USA
Personality (optional): Light-hearted, tends to joke about. (I'm not writing much, because that's all you really need to know.)
Biography (optional): Jack is the son of one of Alpha City's most prolific engineers. It is due to this fact that he has rarely needed to see the filth that sprawls across the depths of the city. When he and his friends had been out one night, they wandered mindlessly into the 'Black Zone'. It was there he was mugged and attacked, and one of his closest friends was paralyzed trying to defend his girlfriend. This spurred Jack to change the city. He began a small, local campaign to try and convince the residents to stand and fight against the thugs. It failed. So Jack moved to a more direct form of attack; vigilantism. He donned his mask and convinced his father to purchase him the military grade gear for his guerrilla attacks. This was how Smiles was born.
Reason for becoming a vigilante: Said in Biography.
Skills that can be brought to the team: He is an excellent and quick thinker, making him a natural leader. Jack is also a proficient hand-to-hand fighter, as well as knowing the basics to most other aspects of this 'hobby' i.e. he knows a little about guns, a little about technology, a little about trickery etc.
Who are you friends with at school: N/A at this time.
Who are you enemies with at school: N/A at this time.
Other: Jack's policy is to try and avoid death and murder, but if it happens, it happens.


SECOND CHARACTER COMING SOON.

[Discontent]

Seems interesting, I'll write up a character sheet.

----------------

Name: Rhett Asprey

Vigilante Name: Trust

Normal Appearance:

Rhett stands at 6 feet tall with a medium build, and is often seen with a slight calm smile on his face, with deep green eyes that are usually narrowed.

Vigilante Appearance:

He wears this combined with the fedora in the 'normal appearance' section.


He wears makeshift metal armour over his torso underneath the jacket.

Reasons for choosing this appearance: As Rhett has been growing a lot more self-aware with each passing year, he figures a masquerade mask fits rather well, but there isn't any deep meaning behind it. The armour under his jacket makes sure his chances (while not zero) of being fatally shot or injured are lower, the jeans are just easy to wear, and the fedora is just for extra cover of his head, along with looking cool.

Age: 18

Country of Origin: USA

Personality: The outward appearance of Rhett is largely superficial, often appearing fairly personable, quick-witted, and rather intelligent, if with a dark and cynical sense of humour. Under the facade, however, is that of a sociopath constantly plagued with homicidal urges, who lived in Alpha City by a strict set of rules and a careful regime of self-denial to keep these thoughts in check. Rhett is a pathological liar, a competent manipulator, and holds absolutely no regrets or guilt over any wrongs he has committed or will commit. He even holds many of the characteristics found in serial killers, yet despite his constant bloodlust, he doesn't give in to his urges because he feels like 'fate' itself has designated him to be a serial killer, and finds it way too convenient. Apart from that, Rhett feels constantly bored and empty, and often seeks things that give fleeting pleasure, such in the case of being a vigilante, lots of bloody, exhilarating fights with criminals.

Biography: To be done later.

Reason for becoming a vigilante: Bloodlust and boredom. 'Semi-socially accepted murder', he calls it, and feels like killing criminals that people wouldn't miss anyway is the perfect way for him to satiate his homicidal urges.

Skills that can be brought to the team: Rhett is a proficient at using melee weapons and adept at hand-to-hand combat, as he often picked fights when he was younger, and trained often, as losing the fights just immensely annoyed him. Along with being quick-witted, and of reasonably intelligence, Rhett is also agile and quick on his feet. However, he has never had much access to guns, and never had the money for technology, so his knowledge of those is limited.

Who are you friends with at school: N/A
Who are you enemies with at school: N/A

Hope this is okay.

[The Scotsman]

Yup. Nice character idea, accepted

[HowlingWolf]

I'll try to make my character soon, but I came down with a nasty fever yesterday and I'm still a little sick.

[The Scotsman]

Ah, OK. That's fine

[Discontent]

Cool, thanks. I think I enjoy playing sociopaths a bit more than I should. Empathy-lacking fun.

So will the characters already know each other, or will they all meet over the course of the IC?

I personally think that they're just easier to roleplay with. We're thinking that they know each other in school, and know each other as vigilante's (obviously), but don't know they know each other's different persona. So to answer you're question, the know each other from the very beginning, but maybe not as vigilante's.
