Unfortunately, it might be a while because we're waiting on me right now. I still have some character sheets as well as exams that I'm in the middle of.

Sorry, mate.

@Polyphemus

Just a question, when is it predicted that the IC will be opening? I've got exams and stuff so I'll be trying to slot this in with 'em.


Like Gimple said, probably next week. I know this is a very busy time for a lot of people so I'm trying to keep things at a manageable pace for everyone. Also gives me some time to plan and give you the best possible experience.

In fact, here's a question for the wider group- given the globe-trotting aspect of this RP, are there any particular regions or locations you might like to see featured in here? Even if it's just a city you hate and want to see trashed.

Well, here's a hint- there is a building bearing his name in the second city you guys will visit. It may very well take some damage!

Name: Amadeus Whittaker
Age: 54 ( DOB: 6/04/1965)
Gender: Male
Nationality: American, Caucasian
Appearance:
Occupation: Ex- Military, Human Bio-engineering Initiative,
Field of Expertise: Robotics, Neuroscience, Biology/Human Biology
Languages Spoken: English, British.

Personal History:

Son to Mary and John L. Whittaker, the infamous dynamic duo of cyborg technology . Amadeus was one of seventeen brothers and sixteen sisters, all of whom were adopted. Their famous and wealthy parents granted them access to almost anything in life they could have wanted.

The Whittaker's cyborg technology had shown breakthroughs with patients that had suffered amputation or had been born with certain diseases. They had been successful in creating a marketable prosthetic limb that could function with the brain as a new arm or leg. It's functionality was close to natural and could even be modified to increase a persons abilities. Their breakthrough had them thrown into the limelight with Times magazine running a three part feature on them, breaking down their research and all the possibilities and implications of such an academic feat.

The military picked the duo up and pumped money into militarising this technology for amputated soldiers and veterans who may otherwise still be healthy soldiers. The Whittakers made huge strides through the late 40's and 50's with their research. So much so that by the early 2000's, cosmetic robotics, as well as practical or casual robotics had become a consumerist item. Of course, it was a very elite commodity. Only multi millionaires or billionaires could afford such things. However it provided certain perks; despite having to go through radical surgery in order to graft the Bio material with the Robotic materials, limbs and body tissue often became much stronger, and tired less. In medicine their technologies were used to fashion working organs with lab grown raw tissues and organic robotic materials.

The Times dubbed it "The era of the Hybrid Human". Of course, it meant little to the average man. But it certainly was a dawn of a new time.

During all this, the Whittaker Duo had begun adopting children. Amadeus was the first, at 12 he was picked up from an orphanage in Birmingham, England. He along with his brothers and sisters, were cherry picked by their parents from all of the world, due to their distinct potential. Using their fame and knowledge of science and biology and their immense wealth, they taught their children everything they could, in an attempt to have their children surpass even their accomplishments. Unfortunately, only a few of the many, many children responded to the teachings. Many of the others simply wished to live their lives however they sought. Amadeus was different however. He found himself engrossed in how the science worked, and how his parents seemed to be manipulating reality itself.

He, alongside a few of his brothers and a sister either engaged directly with the research and technology, or joined the military in some strange capacity. Amadeus was taken on by his parents Lab at the age of 26, after he had finished studying Bio-Engineering in university. He took the research head on, with visions of improving the process and improving the technologies capabilities further. His vision were often too grand, and sometimes downright unethical. He fell out numerous times with his parents over the project. Eventually he was granted his own lab and jurisdiction, though he showed little progress beyond what his parents had already found.

The Military were set to pull Amadeus's project and fire him. However, Amadeus had just begun work on what would become the next step of Human Bio-engineering. Unfortunately for him, he didn't have anything finished in time for his annual review. And failing once again, had his project scrapped in 2003.

Amadeus went on to set up an independent Lab. He had a lot of money and realized that he could get away with much more absurd ideas while he wasn't being monitored. With the help of volunteers, he began much more extensive human testing and experiments. His methods were becoming questionable, and his small discoveries were controversial, however he still gained noterioty in an almost underground fashion. He was propositioned by career criminals to help them engineer the perfect body, durable organs. Turn them into immortal super soldiers. Amadeus was tempted, and even worked a few small regular jobs for these types, but he did not turn them into the super soldiers he knew he could, for fear of the chaos that would ensue.

Around 2018-19, reports of strange creatures were circulating frequently. The validity of these claims were questionable at first, however certain incidents were inexplicably real, like the salamander attack. The Military, for the first time in sixteen years approached Amadeus to help them work for a crack team to deal with the "Kaiju" problem. He responded;

"How could a Whittaker refuse?"

Name: Whelan Whittaker
Age: 27 (DOB: 01/03/1989)
Gender: Male
Nationality: American, Afro.
Appearance:
Occupation: Military, Lance Corporal for the Navy SEALS.
Field of Expertise: Special ops combat and tactics, combat with Kaiju.
Languages Spoken: Various Nigerian Dialects, English/American.

Personal History:

Whalen, Amadeus's younger brother and the last of the Whittaker's adopted children. He had shown smarts as a boy, however he had always shown an aptitude for more physical activities. He played on many sports teams, and even went to University, studying Physics. He took acrobatics, gymnastics, and various martial arts as he grew into a man, shaping his body and preparing him for his future.

He had not originally planned to enter into the Navy, however after hearing tales of potential threats on the coasts, he decided a good way to put his hobbies to use was to go into the army. He entered into the Navy SEAL exams and passed quite easily. He enjoyed his orienteering and training a lot, often being taken to exotic locations to run a drill.

On one of these drills. He and his squad were ambushed by a group of strange creatures. They had been on some islands just off the Caribbean. Most of the squad were killed or injured. However with the help and coordination of a few others, Whalen led a team against the creatures and was able to put all of them down. He even secured samples of the creatures and had them hauled back to Military Labs for testing. His squad were some of the first to come into contact with what would be known as Kaiju.

This being known to the Military, they sought Whalen out as the Kaiju problem became worse. Bigger and more problematic monsters were emerging and anyone whom had had any success with facing them was to be recruited for the task. Whalen was honoured to be asked but he couldn't help but feel the whole thing seemed a little, haphazard....

((OOC))

Sorry for the long posts. I haven't written in a while and I kinda just went for it. I don't normally post this long, so don't worry :p

The Whittaker brothers both look good. Amadeus' research might pave the path for the means to better fight the beasties, and Whalen fills a niche I hadn't thought of- someone has to be able to actually get near the damn things. He might end up being the guy to deliver some of Huan Xiao's toxins.

Go ahead and add both to the CS tab.

Take note, though, this takes place in 2019. Either their ages or DOB will need to be changed.

I just wanted to thank everyone for their patience so far and assure you all we will be starting soon, in the next few days. We will be starting aboard the flight to our very first mission in Ireland, giving everyone a chance to both introduce their characters and receive their briefing.

Unless anyone objects, I'm going to go ahead and make a couple of GM-controlled characters to add to the team.

Here you go, folks. I finally found the time to get this guy made.

Name
Gordon J. Benson

Age
35

Gender
Male

Nationality
Irish

Appearance


Occupation
Lead Expert in Experimental Programming and Mechanical and Electrical Engineering

Field of Expertise
A.I. Development, Weapons Development, and Experimental Full-body Arms Development.

Languages Spoken
English, German, Russian, French, and (some) Gaelic/Irish.

Personal History
Gordon doesn’t remember much about Ireland. When he was young, his parents moved for reasons they would not say. Instead, he spent most of his life growing up in the Queens, NY. He grew to love tinkering and showed an extreme interest in automated intelligence. After going to a special High School for the mathematically and scientifically gifted, Gordon applied and was accepted to Stanford University with a full ride where he was immediately placed into the top-level engineering program.

Six years later, he was out with a degree in both Mechanical Engineering and Computer Programming. He spent the next four years of his life working on his own theoretical Automated Intelligence formula and quickly published his findings, landing him a job in a high level lab and research facility. Once there, Gordon rose to the top and became the head of his own branch of technological advancement. For the next couple of years he was in charge of the research and development of Mechanics, Weapons, and Automated Intelligence. True A.I. is still quite a long shot, but that doesn’t stop Gordon from striving for it.

These days, Gordon works alone. His research is still valued highly, but he cannot seem to find people who meet his standards when it comes to work ethic, intelligence, and raw ambition. Instead, he has set up shop just a few blocks away from his home in Queens, and has worked tirelessly to uncover the secrets of A.I. using grant money from almost a dozen different research facilities — some of which aren’t even supposed to exist to the public eye.

Then, Gordon was called for the Kaiju Initiative.

Good question. I was thinking maybe a converted Boeing 767 such as the United Nations uses in real life. Tear out most of the seats and there's plenty of room for equipment, cargo, even a small lab or a couple compact vehicles. Or, if things really get bad, shove all that out on the runway and pack in as many evacuees as possible. Not a jet you want to take into combat though- it's unarmed and unarmored.

It would look a little like this:



Anyways, everyone, I feel pretty confident about starting, if not tonight then definitely tomorrow. I'm planning to keep this open to newcomers, as well- the more the merrier!
