The first ever nuclear terrorist attack was launched on London, March 19th, 2022. A dirty bomb smuggled into the country was left inside the Gherkin in the City of London itself, detonating at 12:22 in the afternoon. Three more bombs would be detonated, one at 13:34 at Canary Wharf, one at 14:00 at the base of the London Eye, bringing the structure down, and one at 14:35, just outside Buckingham Palace. The subsequent chaos that followed lead to the establishment of the Centre for Disaster Relief, or the CDR. Utilising top-notch scientific technology, their job was to bring order to London as quick as possible, and clean up as much of the radiation in as short a time as possible.

Unfortunately for them however, someone was interested in pilfering CDR goods. Pale Horse, formerly a barely known private security venture stepped their game up, hiring mercenaries in their attempt to make a quick buck off of the latest in CDR gear. CDR, with blessing from the government, began to hire mercenaries in kind... Sometimes the same mercenaries working for Pale Horse. What was once a city of rubble and ruins has rapidly turned into rather silly conflict, with mercenaries of all types and flavours making their way into the ruins of the city in order to make themselves a lot of money indeed.

Hello folks, Lady Selune here. Murder for Fun and Profit, or MFFAP as I'm going to call it for ease of typing, is a vaguely Overwatch inspired RP, with mercenaries and their fancy gadgets clashing as the CDR and Pale Horse war against each other, either to restore the city to its former glory... Or, to, well, steal from the ones actually trying to do something good. Any interest?

Fucking. Yes. If you'll have me, Sel, I am so in.

I'm interested. Just how silly are we allowed to get with our characters? How advanced is the tech level? @Lady Selune

I'd definitely be down!

I'm definitely joining in on this!

Sounds like fun.

Name: Jan Valley

Age: 32
Gender: Person In Heavy Armour. Seriously, the EOD suit totally hides their frame and features, and nobody can tell from their voice because it's so muffled.
Weapons: Loads - But mostly, they're for sale. Jan can use them, however, so best not to try and take any of that by force.
Heckler & Koch MG5 - This is kind of Jan's baby. It's a good weapon for defending themself with, generally speaking, especially since most of the mercenaries in London are sort of not as heavily armoured as them.
Gadgets: EOD Suit - An advanced variant of the Advanced Bomb Suit, very similar and extremely resistant against anything from small arms gunfire up to significant explosive ordnance. Aside from being generally more capable of protecting the wearer from harm and somewhat improved mobility, major upgrades from the ABS include a layer of material designed to halt and minimise the threat of gamma radiation, an air filtration system to ensure no radioactive particulates make their way into the suit, a darkened faceplate protecting the wearer's face from alpha, beta, and gamma radiation, sealed sleeves with dextrous artificial hands directly controlled by brain impulses, and an advanced cooling system that automatically recharges from the user's own movements and emitted body heat, allowing them to move around relatively freely at walking speed without suffering symptoms of heatstroke.
Mercantile Cart - A wooden cart, complete with wheels, able to contain all the stuff Jan is selling. The sign, easily hidden if need be, reads "Jan's Mobile Mercantile".
Role: Gunrunner - Officially, Jan's role is to acquire equipment scattered throughout London for both the CDR and Pale Horse, ideally reacquiring gear from fallen soldiers if possible, and bring it to them, receiving a regular wage as appropriate compensation for their efforts.
Merchant - Unofficially, Jan finds all sorts of stuff, or buys it from others, only to sell it to the highest bidder for a tidy profit.
