I don't mean to step out of line, but do we really need more people? We have two characters from each caste which seems pretty even to me.

I'm not concerned with the castes so much as the allegiances. There are only two characters involved in the Insurgency right now, with four against it or neutral. I was hoping to have at least three starting out in it.

If no one else joins by tomorrow, I'll just let it go and start the IC. I don't want this to die because of my own stubbornness

I am not particularly proud of this Character sheet :S, Need more info, but hope this is good enough for Wolf's requirement :/
Name: John Lawrence
Age: 20

Caste: Omega
Occupation: Works at a bar. (Could be Kathrine's bar, or any bar actually, not sure)

Personality:
Harbors a small hatred of the upper castes for being mistreated almost every day and that an Alpha
was at fault for his parents death, John was usually harrased by the upper castes,
specially the Alphas. Despite this he tries to keep a optimistic view of things and
always tried to get along with everyone and enjoys the little things in life. John often has a very
dry and crude humor and is fond of being sarcastic since it tends to confuse or annoy most people from the
upper castes.

Bio:
Born into the Omega caste, he was strictly thought by his parents to never disobey the Alphas and the Betas.
John, usally at the dead of the night saw his parents sneak away somewhere but usually just dismisses
it as a dream and goes back to sleep. This happened atleast once a week and his parents
would usually always be back and making breakfast for him, until one night, they didn't return. He waited
for a long while, but they never returned, fearing that it was someone his fault he prayed for his parents
to return.

Until one day, a mysterious man appeared infront of him, quickly asking who he was, the person replied with
him saying that he knows what happened to his parents. He put his head down while apologizing to him, saying that
his parents were part of the 'Insurgency' and that they got caught by the Reapers. Too many questions
entered Johns head but he could only say "What is the Insurgency?" With the man quickly explaining that
it was a Rebellion and the man offered him to join, which he quickly accepted. Thinking that he must
finish whatever his parents were doing ever so secretly for him.

Getting introduced to the Insurgency, most people there were very accepting to him because his parents were
great members of the Insurgency and had great expectations of him, during his time in the Insurgency he has
lightened up and became more optimistic, believing that they can overthrow the tyrannical rule.

Part of the Insurgency?: Yes

Name: James Wolff
Age: 28
Appearance:

Caste: Beta
Occupation: Reaper
Personality: If there was one word to describe James, then that word would be dense. Not the intellectual dense, but rather the social one. He can't read the social situation at all, and is usually stoic (the few moments he isn't... he is often painfully out of place). However, that stoicism comes in handy especially in his job. He takes his duty seriously, and is never lighthearted about his job and responsibilities. He can be trusted to stay focused in his missions. However, despite the usual blank face, James is very considerate and kind, but he tends to look at the large picture. So, his actions, while seemingly strange or even cruel to some initially, are well thought out and meant to bring long-term results.

Bio: They say that people's lives can be represented by objects. For James', it would be a book. Since his youth, James always read. Born to parents who worked in the Information Departments, James always had access to information and books that most other kids wouldn't. Because of his parent's well known relationship and role in the government, many thought that James' parents were Reapers, or at least loyal enough to the government that they would rat out anyone who spoke badly of the status quo. This led to James not being able to interact or talk to many people in his youth as everyone feared his parents, which is probably a major cause of James' awkwardness/denseness in social interactions. Without friends or anyone to play with, the young James turned to what source of entertainment he did have, books. By the young age of 14, James was reading old literature like "The Prince" by Machiavelli, and proved to be fully capable of comprehending the book.

For some reason, books, especially ancient ones, about civics, duty, law and responsibility had interested James. The government took this to be a sign of James' great potential as a loyal, duty-bound citizen. At the age of 18, he was working in the Old Information Department, and he specialized in two subjects, history, and law. It was in this position that James gained access to a lot of information that would be banned from public view. However, due to his morals and ethics, he didn't leak anything. Rather, he did his job dutifully and censored anything that seemed remotely anti status quo. In all those years he spent redacting information, he was far from jsut mindlessly crossing lines out. He read, and developed his sense of duty and responsibility. After several years of diligent work, it was no surprise that James was offered a position among the Reapers. He accepted. After all, the Reapers kept the peace and carried out the law, which appealed to James' senses. However, to carry out his job, James asked for a very special request. He wanted to keep his position in the Old Information Department, and be allowed to access the building and data. His reasoning that he gave to his recruiters? He claimed that using this as a cover would help make others feel more at ease when talking around James and thus reveal their true intentions. This request was ultimately approved.

To all citizens except very high ranking Alphas, and the officers of the Reapers, James appears to be an intellectual Beta, who was relatively loyal to the government. Unfortunately, for some unfortunate souls, this guise would bring their end. He has detained numerous individuals for crimes that were harmful to the state such as hoarding and spreading unlawful propaganda. His dossier also includes the capture of several notable figures among the Resistance. However, his highest profile case involved the arrest of an Alpha, who foolishly tried to include James in a plot to assassinate the Head of the Old Information Department for personal gain. Needless to say, James' dedication and loyalty to the government is not questioned as he had even willingly played a deadly game of chess with the Alpha that he arrested. In the eyes of the government, he was the model citizen. The truth though is a bit more... complicated. Yes, James considers himself a "model citizen", but not of the Golden State. Rather, he sees himself a citizen of the world. Everything he does, he does for a reason, and does not blindly follow the Golden State. He follows the finely tuned moral compass that he developed through the years, and incorporates the lessons that the old books offered. It is due to this knowledge that James finds himself following a thin line between the government and the Resistance. He doesn't completely support one or the other. In fact, James has ignored some blatant acts of resistance because he believed that the effects of the action would improve the condition of mankind as a whole. Some other acts he had committed includes: making false reports of "no activity" occurring in areas, "misplacing" files on certain cases, and once he even risked himself by letting a captive go after he learned that the captive was just on a goodwill mission to feed a bunch of homeless Omega children. Why doesn't James join the Insurgency? Well, he for one doesn't believe that the complete overthrow or destruction of the current government is the best way. He believes in reform from within, and not the complete abandon of law.

Part of the Insurgency?: No

All posts look good so far :)

Plightz: Usually missions are only given to one Insurgency member to complete (for security reasons), but the fact that Matthew and John are working the same job just gave me an interesting idea for a plot twist XD

Heyitsjiwon: If you decide to finish your CS, I'll still let your character in. After that, submissions will be closed.

That's fine. I tried to infer it with how Matthew was assigned the mission at the train station, but I didn't do the best job at that, I guess lol
