@Holy Soldier

Am I not apart of this first mission just yet, or just forget to mention me?

@FallenTrinityYou weren't approved yet when I wrote that IC post. You can be apart of that first mission if you want. Either way, this is the first IC post of the game.

@Holy Soldier

Ok then thank you for the clarification. I just wasn't sure if it was by accident or whatnot. Nah, I'll wait until this one is over, could join in later on and say Azrael was on a prior mission if that will work best?

WIP

@FallenTrinityThere is no "works best." You're either role playing in this game or not. I don't care what you do. Regardless, this IS the game. The game just started. Participate whenever you want.

@Holy Soldier
Understandable. I'll have a post up after work good sir.

So, just to clarify, I can be on the mission even though it started before I was accepted?

I'm pretty interested in this but I'm fairly new to this website and don't wanna do anything incase it fucks something up so how should i apply for this??

I'll have a post up by tomorrow!

I'm pretty interested in this but I'm fairly new to this website and don't wanna do anything incase it fucks something up so how should i apply for this??

Don't fret, we at the RPGuild are a warm and accepting community, we get that the first few days is stressful. And to answer your question, all you'll need to do is make a CS to apply and post it here for approval. If you scroll up to the first post you'll see a list that details everything that should be in your CS. Hope I helped!

I see you've already got a load of characters but....room for one more?

@shagranozYes.

@CelticSoldierYes.

@XyoMake sure you post it here in the IC.

@Holy Soldier

Let me know what you think.

@shagranozSince this game is getting bigger and bigger, I am going to start cutting the mission off to new applicants. I will write another IC post introducing The Syndicate and Baylor City so those not on the mission can sandbox (after work).

Name: Anton De La'Dair
Nickname: Shudder, an old field agent once made a joke to the assistant director and he found the joke hilarious enough to start calling Anton 'Shudder' and eventually the other agents joined in. To this day only the assistant director knows what the joke was and when asked about it he simply shakes his head laughs slighty and mutters 'Shudder' beneath his breath.
Age: 38
Race: Sorcere
Height: 6 foot
Weight: 150 pounds
Hair Color: Black, though the other day he caught a stray grey
Eye Color: A violet purple from the magic flowing in his veins, but he wears pale blue contacts when operating in public

Description: On the surface there's nothing out of the ordinary about Anton, ot including his eyes of course, he has a thin frame and his shoulders are barely broader than a woman's but underneath his crumpled shirt are muscles that ripple everytime he moves, Anton would tell you that his toned physique is due to intense physical training but truthfully it's intense arcane magic flowing through his veins. He has shoulder length wavy black hair, and leaves the house most days in either jeans and a smart shirt or maybe trousers and a waiscoat, though his clothes are almost always messy and slightly wrinkled.

Personality: Whetsr he has some form of bi polar, a split personality or his mind has just been broken because of his use of the arcane other agents aren't sure. At times Anton has the kind of half-awake charm you might expect from someone who's been lightly drinking. With an easy smile and a larger than life personality people are naturally drawn to him. Other times you'll look into his eyes and they'll e staring past you, almost as if he can't see you. His bottom jaw will absent mindedly open and close with a slow almost hypnotic rythmn. He is entirely unpredictable during these episodes, he might sit and stare unmoving for hours or he might start on a warpath before snapping himself out of it. In this state Anton can't be reasoned with, the assistant director and his friends aren't even sure if he can comprehend language at this point, all thats known is that if Anton enters a room in this state, it feels as if everyone else has taken a step back.

Background: Anton joined the syndicate at the age of 22, using it as a means to expand his arcane knowledge. He worked therefor six years and flew through he ranks becoming well-known and well-respected. He seeked a challenge, and peered into the depths of the arcane. Inside he found his Gist, a nightmarish creature made of pure purple and black energy. The Gist has many forms, almost all of which are either inperceivable or incomprehensible. Anton has seen more forms than any other as the beast fused itself to Anton, making hem one inseparable entity. Anton can call upon the power of the Gist in battle but the two have a constant struggle, unfortunately the Gist will one day gain control of Anton, and when it does the syndicate will have to destroy it. Some say when you look into the purple of Antons eyes you can see the Gist staring back at you.

Weapon(s): A Smith & Wesson and a Colt, both revolvers designed o stop men and beasts dead in their tracks, carried on two holsters on his torso. He also carries a Hunter's knife on his waist for when bellys need opening.

Skills: Unarmed- He fuels his muscles with magic and knows a form of Ju-Jitsu based around grappling and locks. However, this type of martial art is only desined for taking on one assailant leaving Anton vulnerable against multiple enemies in close combant.

Operative - Anton has been in many gun fights on the field, he isnt exceptional with guns and is considered an average marksman at the Syndicate but he has encountered enough weapons to know how to use them.

Arcane Knowledge - Anton is attracted to Arcane entities and objects. He's even joked before that he can smell them. He has a vast knowledge of arcane objects and creatures and can almost always distinguish between them.

Heavy Drinker - Anton can handle his alcohol.

Power(s): Gist: The purple and black nightmare can be forced our of Anton through his chest, the mere sight of it would break the mind of a mortal and can traumatise the hardest operative. It can tear through metal and bone like ts nothing, its warped claws will pull a crowd of men to tatters in seconds. Though Anton can only keep it out for a few seconds before he has to pull it back in otherwise he risks the bond breaking and in that situation either the Gist will consume him or it'll break free and they'll both die. When it is unleashed it's form looks like a warped depiction of satan, twisted horns with an demonic face and claws the size of a man's arm. The Gist's torso is connected to Anton with a string like mass of purple that is almost two dimensional to look at.

Elemental - Anton can't isk using the Gist in every fight so instead he uses a wide array of elemental magic such as the manipulation of fire or darkness.

Incantations - For stronger spells outside of combat Anton can use strong incantations written down in the many books in his library, these can be anything from creating a chicken in thin air to completely paralysing a man. Though each of these have their cost.

Psychiclly hypersensitive - Anton is hypersensitive to psychic powers, he can see through illusions and detect when psychic powers are being used. However this also means he is exceptionally vulnerable o psychic effects and will feel the effects much worse than others

@Holy Soldier

Just posted it, hope its good enough

@Holy Soldier

Let me know what you think.

Mithias [+]

Name: Mithias Varomere
Nickname: *glares intently at you*
Age: n/a
Race: Vampire
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 170
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Yellow

Description:

Appearance [+]

Eyes [+]

Mithias was found early by the Syndicate, mainly due to the fact that he has some trouble not standing out among average humans. His light skin isn't such a big deal, but his eyes are clearly an unnatural shade. Thus, he has led his vampire life wearing hats and hoods and keeping to dim light, in which most human retinas fail to properly discern color. Usually, his long hair is down and he wears a suit in the office. His face is even and seemingly fixed in a "resting bitch" expression. He looks fairly athletic under that suit. 'claims he used to be a midevil knight.

Personality: Mithias was around long enough before a hellhole opened up beneath Baylor, and he doesn't want to see the activities of demons and the like giving his kind a bad name. As far as vampires go, he's friendly toward humans, assuming they don't initially flee in terror, but he has become completely comfortable with feeding on them, even killing them. He's always tried to incorporate some morality in his choices, ie. not feeding on the meek and innocent, but he will not stake his survival. In modern times, there's little reason for him not to drink donated blood, and so he prefers that. He is generally quite, surprised by very little, enjoys nature and for some reason playing the violin.

Mithias had stuck around for many generations after his making in order to protect and oversee his own family's descendants. When that family grew too big to follow, he walked away and became more interested in finding others of his kind and promoting justice from the shadows. The Syndicate helps him do that.

Background: Mithias has never gone into great detail about his origins. Suffice it to say he was a warrior, religious, and from Old World Germany. He doesn't have any great vampire contacts, but he did once travel through Alaskan werewolf territory during an extreme depression phase and was nearly killed. ...Better not ask him about that time.

Mithias is involved with the Syndicate as both an agent and a tactical officer. Usually, he analyses the information gathered by the other agents and stays out of the field during the daylight, but if the situation calls for it, he can personally stalk a target, act as a spy, or attempt a high-risk assassination requiring his vampiric advantages.

Weapon(s): Seeing as how small guns won't stop a vampire, or werewolf, or demon, or what have you, Mithias prefers to carry two modern, high tech composite swords at his sides when he is on dangerous missions. Severing a limb and bloodloss are so much more effective if a confrontation cannot be avoided.

Along this same vein, he has three, named daggers designed with barbed edges and rivets to promote bleeding. Heartseeker, Blooddrinker, and Soulstealer will quickly wear down stronger enemies.

Mithias can shoot, but even for a vampire, he doesn't have the best aim.

He is quite proficient with a simple leather whip.

Regardless, Mithias prefers a safe, tactical approach and would rather setup tripwires and explosives, or traps involving electric shock, flash grenades, or something for his target to inadvertently walk into. He gained a lot of this training and knowledge while working for the Syndicate.

Skills: As mentioned above, tactics, melee combat, leadership, stealth.(Put your explanations for the skills in the skills section. If your character deals in more than one weapon and each weapon is different, then you will be using up your skill allowance to make your character proficient in those weapons.)

Power(s): Heighted senses, strength/speed, immune to any and all mental manipulation (magic), low level pyrokinesis (magic). (This needs detail.)

I highlighted problem areas in red and made my comments in yellow. Just extra comments, if ever your vampire felt compelled to drink human blood directly from the victim, he would need valid justification. It can be a career-ender/life-ender for vampires.

In this state Anton can't be reasoned with, the assistant director and his friends aren't even sure if he can comprehend language at this point, all thats known is that if Anton enters a room in this state, it feels as if everyone else has taken a step back.(This bothers me. If he is unable to work professionally with others, then he wouldn't have been hired. The Syndicate would never hire loose cannons. It would endanger the organization.)

Background: Anton joined the syndicate at the age of 22, using it as a means to expand his arcane knowledge. He worked therefor six years and flew through he ranks becoming well-known and well-respected. He seeked a challenge, and peered into the depths of the arcane. Inside he found his Gist, a nightmarish creature made of pure purple and black energy. The Gist has many forms, almost all of which are either inperceivable or incomprehensible.

When it is unleashed it's form looks like a warped depiction of satan, twisted horns with an demonic face and claws the size of a man's arm. The Gist's torso is connected to Anton with a string like mass of purple that is almost two dimensional to look at.(I don't know if I can allow this creature. It seems too hostile for The Syndicate to allow on the team.)

Elemental - Anton can't isk using the Gist in every fight so instead he uses a wide array of elemental magic such as the manipulation of fire or darkness.(You can't just say, "Elemental Magic." You need to write the spells that he can specifically cast and what each one does. I don't allow people to loophole infinite spells.)

Incantations - For stronger spells outside of combat Anton can use strong incantations written down in the many books in his library, these can be anything from creating a chicken in thin air to completely paralysing a man. Though each of these have their cost.(This was almost not fine, but it is fine. I'm going to expect you to RP your character preparing the recipe for the conjuration in-game. I don't expect these spells to be instantaneous. If you start going on an infinite streak, then you can expect for all mages to get severely limited, so be mindful. I'm trusting the mages not to abuse their liberties.)

Psychiclly hypersensitive - Anton is hypersensitive to psychic powers, he can see through illusions and detect when psychic powers are being used. However this also means he is exceptionally vulnerable o psychic effects and will feel the effects much worse than others

I highlighted problem areas and made my comments in yellow. Spell check. I know there are some spell check programs online that can be used for free and easy access. jspell.com/public-spell-checker.html Bam! Right there.

Since we haven't rped with each other before, let me know if you need an rp sample or something. @Holy Soldier
