Cool. I'm there! =)

Name: Avis Thierry Lancaster

Nicknames: AK, Snowball, The King (The latter is self-proclaimed.)

Codename: Alaska

Age: 31

Rank: Freelancer

Specialties:

Marksmanship - Widely known for the deadly accurateness of his aim. Primarily at long-mid range. His abilities translate best with the use of either an Sniper Rifle or DMR.

Vehicle Operation/Piloting - As far as anyone knows, there isn't a vehicle known to man that Alaska can't pilot. Has an deadly obsession with drifting.

Armor:


Armor Ability: Hologram

Appearance:


History: Born to a military family, Lancaster grew up accustomed to strict military regimes. Thus, at age eighteen, Avis had no choice but to join the UNSC. While the rest of his family had been part of the UNSC Marine Corp, Avis choice to join the Air Force. There, he spent five years training in vehicle operation and the use of long ranged weaponry.

Eventually, Avis requested transfer to the Marine Corp. Where he would spend the next six years perfecting his aim as an Marine MP. Avis wasn't so much asked to join Project Freelancer, as he was drafted. Having been pulled directly out of combat and notified of the situation en-route to the facility. As one of, if not [i]the[/] first recruit(s), Lancaster, as Alaska, has become one of the most infamous members of the group over the years.

Personality: AK is easily one of the most unforgiving Freelancers of the lot. As his years of military experience have hardened him into an cold and calculating individual. While he often appears as the shiny example of what a spartan should be to his superiors, in terms of his performance in the field. His fellow Freelancers view Alaska as an attention whore. As he has a tendency to make situations more difficult than they need to be, so that he can boast if he manages to prevail.

Snowball, as his allies mockingly call him, is also some what of an sadist. As he enjoys messing with his enemy's before killing them. He is also noted as being cocky, often referring to himself as 'the king' when among his fellow Spartans. Despite this, Alaska usually jealous of his teammates. Viewing them as kids who get to play. As he feels he that he has to continuously push himself, without rest, if he is going to continue to live up to the expectations of his superiors.

Any specific weaknesses/flaws: Superiority Complex makes him distrustful of others; Suffers from severe and violent flashbacks, which can randomly impair his ability to function.

Quirks: Makes a clicking sound with his tongue every time he hits a target; Is fond of saying "The King is back" whenever he returns from the field.

@ Mystech - Just so we're clear, this rp is starting at the very start of Project Freelancer, with the first recruits, so he isn't infamous just yet. That said, I like his bio a lot. It'll be good to get some more serious freelancers in the mix. I think you can count on some of the current freelancers to try to be friendly with him anyway. XD Which should be interesting. You're good to go!

Ah, sorry. Was confused about that bit. Thanks! :)

I need to pay so much more attention.

Name: Donovan Baldur

Codename: Illinois

Nickname: Noise

Age: 36

Rank: Freelancer (Former Sergeant First Class)

Specialty: Explosives, mid-range combat

Armor:

Armor Ability: Armor lock

Appearance: Donovan is a long time soldier and demolitions expert, and he shows it. His face and body are crisscrossed with a variety of scars. He has a broad, flat face, with a nose that looks like it's been broken more than once. His eyes are dark brown, and his hair is a closely shave black. Donovan is large, in both height and width. He stands at 6'4", and has a broad chest, and thick arms. He is in almost all aspects, intimidating.

History: Donovan comes from a long line of military men, and he is no different. He joined the USMC straight out of high school, and quickly distinguished himself as a capable soldier. He quickly found he was very talented in the usage of explosives, and specialized in them. He spent nearly a decade serving in the USMC, and in one particular case, managed to rig an entire enemy occupied fort with plastic explosives. He served honorably, and was promoted accordingly until Project Freelancer took notice of him. He joined up eagerly, hoping to distinguish himself further. In training, he mastered the art of ambush tactics and trap laying.

Personality: Despite his gruff appearance, Donovan is very friendly and gregarious. He is a loud person, and has the bad habit of shouting out to friends, acquaintances, and even strangers, at long distances. He is not serious at all, and likes to tell jokes and pull pranks on others in his down time. There are very few people Donovan has met that he didn't like, and try to make friends with. Even on mission and in training, he likes to make conversation with anyone around.

Any specific weaknesses/flaws: He is lacking in the way of long range combat. He can manage close range due to his size, but he's not as good as others.

Quirks: Talks too much, hence his nickname.

Name: Victoria Volz
Codename: Virginia
Age: 31
Rank: Freelancer
Specialty: Infiltration & Elimination
Armor: This but black on black
Armor Ability: Type-3 Refraction Dissonance Modifier/Camouflage
Appearance: http://i1185.photobucket.com/albums/z355/rockjonroll/julia_benson_stargate_universe_pic_03.jpg
History: Victoria lived on the streets for years, as a child she could acquire food & shelter easily by being cute as she grew up that stopped being an option. Then the gangs moved in, she wanted no part of the gang lifestyle, as she would have been nothing more than another living sex toy that they may or may not have loaned to other people for money. She didn't have the means to fight them so she had to learn to hide from them. She became very good at sneaking around, she eventually learned to apply that skill to breaking and entering. Eventually she was caught, a marine who was forced out of service took her in and helped her get her life together. Shortly before Victoria turned eighteen her benefactor died at eighteen she joined the UNSC Marine Corps just like her benefactor. Her skills were put to good use infiltrating and eliminating Innie leaders who wanted to continue their pointless crusade of stupidity and ignorance all the while the Covenant were trying to exterminate humanity.

Her last mission fighting the Innie morons was cut short when the Covenant invaded. she barely made it off world before Covenant glassed the planet. After that ONI conscripted her to put her talents to use in gathering intelligence on the Covenant.

After many years of fighting the Covenant she was conscripted one more by the Freelancer project.
Personality: Due to her successes in the past, the fact she was conscripted into other programs against the wishes of her commanding officers she has developed a superiority complex. As a result of her benefactor's death, her parents abandoning her she has developed an inferiority complex, she feels like there is something wrong with her. she never takes anything seriously except when in battle. She refuses to form attachments to other people or things. If she can't take into battle with her then she has absolutely no use for it. Over the decades she developed a darker and self-destructive personality.
Any specific weaknesses/flaws: she is cocky, arrogant, willful, and insolent. she could be in desperate need of help but she would rather die than to ask for it. she has scars on her body that are not the result of battle or fights, but self-infliction. Due to depression and self-loathing, she sought out violent sexual relationships.
Quirks: Has a tendency to uncontrollably babble nonsensically when in a heightened emotional state, which has proven useful in interrogations. She also will butcher words. She doesn’t like males very much at all, especially the little brain they think with.

Lizzy already has active camo, so I think you're gonna need to change that...

Well if you still are looking for characters I would like to join.

Not happening.

character sheet said [Please try to keep this diverse, where possible. Obviously there will be overlaps, but let's try to have a variety of abilities to work with.]

Ok, I was just bringing it to attention. Sheesh, so defensive...

So do we have our armor powers yet, or do they come later?

Name: Zaccar Drogoth
Nicknames: Zac, Z-man, MT
Codename: Montana
Age: 29
Rank: Freelancer (former ODST)
Specialty: CQB
Armor:
White/Steel Color combo
GRD Helmet
Commando Shoulder (Right Shoulder)
Operator Shoulder (Left Shoulder)
UA/Security Base [W] Chest Armor
FJ/Para Knee Pads
Armor Ability: Armor Lock
Appearance: Stands about 6' 3''


History: At the age of 20 he joined the UNSC, mostly because it pissed his parents off who he never got along with and they never wanted him to throw his life into the UNSSC, where he showed his worth as being an excellent soldier. His only punishment came from the few times he decided to not follow orders and do things his way, he got the job done but his superiors didn't take his disobedience lightly. He applied to be an ODST soldier a little later, wanting to get more action, and was accepted. Though he was never considered to be the best in the class, he did show he was determined and persistent to get the tasks given to him done and did pass the training. After a few years he was given the offer to join the Freelancer Program, an offer he couldn't refuse. After one simple interview he got in, happy to even get the chance to join in on the program and being able to show to his family they were dead wrong, that he could go places within the UNSC.

Personality: He is a bit of a serious person, though he does have a softer side to him, though it's only shown to those that he sees as friends. His size makes him more intimidating then he is but if someone agitates him he won't hesitate to flatten them out with his fist. He has a bit of an issue with thinking that his superiors may be wrong in certain situations and that he could make a better choice leading to him occasionally disobeying commands, though he usually still gets the job done, most of the time anyways.
Any specific weaknesses/flaws: He's semi decent at mid range but longer range proves to be a problem for him, unable to even hit the broad side of a barn. Has an issue sometimes with taking orders if he thinks he is right and his superiors are wrong in a course of action which gets him into trouble sometimes.
Quirks: N/A

We don't have our abilities yet. Also, Argetlam, you can download a program called Vanity to make a picture of your armor, for people who dont know the specific armor names.

I've tried downloading program before for another RvB rp but I can't get it to work. I'll try again but not sure if it will work.

It might have been downloaded or extracted improperly. First time I tried, it didn't extract right, so the program couldn't run. Had to re-extract but it was fine after that.

Okay, time for me to catch up.

For starters, guys, character creation should not be tense. If someone makes a comment on issues in your bio without being offensive, try to respond politely. In the future, I will police all of the bios so that we only have one person confronting errors and I will contact you through PM if I see something that needs to be changed. This way we can avoid any issues in the future.

@ Revan and Treue-- The camouflage is fine. There will be overlap, which is why I included that note in the application. After this, though, I'm going to put a halt on camouflage, since 2 of 8 have it now.

Overall, I am going to say there can be no more than 2 people with the same power. If we get too many people, I will revisit this rule.

Also, as of right now, we have three freelancers whose specialty is at least half CQB. I'm putting a halt on CQB freelancers for now.

Those of you applying after this point, please find a different specialty and armor power for your trooper.

All new limitations will be added to the first post.

Okay, with the modly stuff done...

@ Argetlam -- Montana looks good to go. I can't see his theme song, for some reason, but I really want to. I love that he has one. Lizzy does, too, but I decided not to put it in there. Always good to know your characters!

Lizzy! Hi Lizzy! Hi! Hi! *Jumps up and down hyperly*

Gooood morning, Data. How are you?

I'm good. How are you? *Smiles, lightly hopping, a bit hyper*

I'm good. I was just hopping on to make an IC post, but I'm not going to get the chance right now. Happy to have cleared up the confusion in here, though. I hope we can all get along from here on out.

I have to go get ready for the day now, though. I'll try to hop back on later; I definitely want to get another few posts in today.
