If adventure has a name, it must be Indiana Jones.

The famous archaeologist and noted acquirer of rare antiquities has traveled the world in search of valuable artifacts, uncovering danger at every turn. However, at 60 years of age, Dr. Jones has decided to hang up the whip and fedora. Now happily married, and with added responsibilities as an associate dean at Marshall College, Indy's treasure hunting days are behind him. Unfortunately for Dr. Jones, the U.S. government seems rather uninterested in his so-called retirement and is in need of his assistance once again.

It is 1959, the height of the Cold War, and intelligence reports suggest that the Soviet Union is in search of an unspeakably powerful artifact, an artifact believed to be an object of mythology rather than history. The Russians intend on using it's power to fuel a devastating super weapon, and it must not fall into their hands. Dr. Jones has assembled an elite team of treasure hunters, comprised of his former students and associates, to find this artifact before the Russians do. You have been asked to join this team and complete this mission.

Welcome to the Raiders.

This is an RP inspired by Indiana Jones, the only man who should ever wear a fedora. The tone of the RP will be pretty much identical to the Indy movies so there's really no need to take anything too seriously. Always remember, these are the movies where a guy jumps out of a plane and inflates a rubber raft in mid-air. Standard casual RP rules apply, which means proper spelling, grammar and punctuation?!

Name: Carmilla Hollstein
Age: 28
Gender: F
Nationality: Austrian
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 150
Profession: Thief Treasure Hunter

Strengths: She can read a few dead languages and has many contacts in the underground and black market. She can also be very persuasive, especially when it comes to locals and ancient hidden secrets. In addition she has a set of skills such as lock picking that is shady to say the least.
Weaknesses: Carmilla isn't a fighter, which is why she carries a gun she doesn't really know how to use. And despite having many contacts, she doesn't have many friends. People in general don't really get along with her, and her contacts would easily betray her for the right price. She's not heroic in the slightest, and wouldn't risk herself unless the payoff benefits her personally.

Personality: Dark and brooding, Carmilla has a dark and mysterious aura about her. She speaks bluntly and sarcastically, generally not caring about anything other than her own self interests. Although she comes off as a loner most of the time, she doesn't have a problem flirting and seducing when she's in the mood.

Biography: Carmilla is a "self taught archeologist" aka a tomb raider or thief. She visits ancient places, places that belong to no one but the dead, and takes anything valuable to sell on the black market. According to her its not really stealing since the owners are dead, so its like picking trash off the street. Although she never had any formal education, she is quite knowledgeable about ancient cults and secret societies particularly Eastern European ones. She learned mostly from libraries, outdated text books, folktales, and local legends.

She met Mr. Jones years ago when he was on an expedition to Transylvania. He needed her to translate some engravings on a rusty shield, and she needed him to lead her to some pricey antiques. While initially allies, Carmilla tried to run off with all the treasure for herself. And after an exciting chase across several countries, Mr. Jones retrieved the artifact he sought, but not without a sour glare and a few colorful words from Carmilla.

Name: Alexander Van Helsing
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Nationality: British
Height: 6'5"
Weight: 160lb

Profession: Professionally a anthropologist and historian specialising in mythical creatures and the supernatural.
Strengths: Helsing is an expert shot with a revolver, a master of long forgotten lore, and he has degrees in psychology, anthropology, and sociology.
Weaknesses: Helsing has a weekness for books of less known lore and anything unknown or mythical.

Personality: Helsing is extremely anti social, or at least he seems the loaner type. He has a case of assburrgers which is of course undiagnosed

Biography: Helsing's family claims to be descended from van Helsing the vampire hunter of Dracula and their minds are appropriately open. Trained from birth Alexander was ment to take up the mantle of a hero and from a vary young age he was studying lore and marksmanship. When he grew old enough he went to Cambridge to study, where he got three related but still vastly different degrees. He became a somewhat well known person in the field of crypto psychology, a study of the fantastic and supernatural type things and their effect on the human psychy.
He met Indy as a historian while consulting on one of the artifacts at Indy's museum, one that was 'donated anonymously'. He was called in because the artifact, a silver crucifix, was a relic from Vlad the impailer, who he had take an intrest in because of his family's crock of shot stories. In his work he was always more objective then most anyone else, never instantly comeing to a mundane bias. In the end the good doctor congratulated him on good work, which was a great help for his resurch.

Honestly guys, I'm really liking how our little team has come together and I enjoyed reading all of your character sheets. We've got an archaeologist, a secret agent, a master thief, an expert mechanic and a supernatural anthropologist. Pretty formidable. As it stands right now, we have a good number of characters to begin. If one more player wants to join that would be fine, but probably no more than that. I'm going to be busy today with New Year's Eve shit but I'll try to kick things off in the IC thread tomorrow.

The only thing that I think needs to be tweaked is Alexander Van Helsing's age. According to the CS he is 16 years old, but the picture is of Neil Patrick Harris who is like 30 and the character is supposed to be a professional anthropologist and historian.
