@Leidenschaft Also, I hope that we will get a few slife-of-lifey moments of character interaction in the RP, between trips to the cities and such where we relax and chat and shiznit to give it a true "true detective" vibe where the personal lives of the characters are expanded upon.
Of course. Anyone who's role played with me knows that I like the character building most. Beside the point, action scenes and investigation will be decided by rolls, hence the character modifiers that honestly may or may not be taken out.
Also, I'll read the CS when I can.
Wow, everyones characters are so good. I dont know if mine are even close to that level. Maybe i'll post it and let you decide if it fits.

Wait are they going to be decided completely by rolls? Because I don't know if I can actually deal with that, I prefer more DnDesque style where I say what I do and then a roll determines my success chance. I would like PC choices/writing to have good, noticeable impact.
@Andreyich he could do for a bit of a tone down on the armor.
DnD-esque, yes, albeit pretty toned down. I'll post the rules and how to interpret the dice rolls soon. Peik will be familiar with the system from another RP we are both in.
After taking a closer look at the level of detail involved, I don't think I'll be able to participate in this after all. I already have obligations to a few other RPs plus work and writing my web serial to worry about. Sorry :(
@Leidenschaft Sorry, I have limited access to a computer at the moment, the sheet is almost ready but I lost faith in a part of the backstory and needed to do some rewriting. Hopefully it will be done tomorrow.
Things will be back to normal for me in a few days and my posting speed will pick up.

Appearance: Height, build, facial structure. Voice and mannerisms, even. A picture may be attached, but oh, so help me if it's anime.
Javier stands at roughly 6’4 weighing in at roughly 205 pounds. His build is of a fit person with visible muscle mass on his arms and a toned chest and a set of six packs abs. Javier’s facial structure has a noticeable jawline, a more of a pointy nose but also a scar running down the left cheek to the bottom of the left side of the jaw. His voice is pretty deep, having more of a american accent however his spanish side does at times mix into his speech
Agency/Organization: DEA Special Agent
Education: Javier majored in Criminology at Stanford University in California
Background:
Javier’s time in the DEA has been varied as one say.
After joining the DEA Javier was thrown into the fire almost directly with a undercover operation. Due to Javier’s young age at the time he was acting as a fake student enrolled at a local community college, along with two other agents. The community college at the time was considered to be a big front for a MDMA smuggling ring and rumors in the community were that even professors were in on the job along with various students. So for the first few months Javier mingled with the athletic groups on campus, even trying out and making the basketball team. The other two agents also were involved in different cliches based in the college. Once the settlement period had passed and the operation was starting to fully gain traction they were a lot of surprises.
For one the MDMA was being moved in various storage containers and using various methods of transportation. One of the agents stumbled upon a university parade float’s and found MDMA bags hidden underneath the float. Another one also found in the equipment room that some hockey bags had MDMA bags stuffed in them, underneath pads or gloves. It was clear that the MDMA ring had a wide influence in the school and MDMA was in clear sight.. But the question was who was involved? The operation however caught a break once the local police searched a campus residence after a noise complaint. Inside there was a huge haul of MDMA pills and various of other important evidence items. Phones, recipes to create MDMA, notes to even roughly five thousand in US dollars. 5 suspected arrested and well cracking under the pressure of the DEA interrogation, two suspects, a women and man confessed but also blew the whole operation wide open.
At the end, the smuggling ring was busted. The college used local school labs after hours to manufacture MDMA and bag it. Then MDMA was stored throughout the school away from the public eye. Dealers simply picked it up from these stash spots before it was sold to the general public. The ring also made sure to grease the right hands. 4 days after the findings of the operation were released to the general public and the DEA making it’s statement the dean of the college resigned before he was arrested on accessory charges.
The community college operation helped Javier gain footing in the DEA and over the course of many years he was apart of many operations. From shutting down an illegal weed ring in Montana to busting a cocaine front in New York’s popular nightclub Javier’s been all around, but one operation to this day Javier would say was interesting.. And unhinging.
After a string of 4 overdoses in Arizona, the DEA was tasked with investigating the rise of methempatime in a small town in Arizona.For the first few months, it seemed like a simple small time redneck based operation until. Javier was at the helm of this operation and leading a small force of fifteen agents.The fifth overdose occurred. The coroner report showed that this overdose unlike the others was forced, as if the person was trying to resist before eventually being subjected to the meth. This was a strange occurance and it seemed out of place. The first four overdoses were considered to be “normal” in the light that the user had used the drug on their own accord.. Or did they?
The backlife of the four users was mundane to say at best. A herbal doctor, a truck driver, a waitress and lastly a lawyer. It seemed like a odd bunch of people who had used the drug and it only got odd from there. For one the DEA looked more into the murder’s and where they were. One was on a roof, the other was near to the abandoned church, underneath the cross. The last two were located facing each other like someone had planted the bodies that way, near to a rental cabin, 5 miles out of the town. With the weird bodies in weirder locations, Javier and his crew seemed to be lost.. And it remained they away until a slip up.
Roughly 3 months into the investigation a 911 call 25 miles outside of the town was heard. Police were sent only before Javier received a phone call at roughly 4AM in the morning, a survivor had been found. Javier and his squad rushed to the survivor and heard his tale of events. Apparently there was a classified ad for a item, which was a ATV for this male. The male was led towards a gas station before he was picked up by the “seller's”. The group then drugged the male and stuffed him inside of the trunk of the car, without any restraints. By sheer chance the potency of the drug wasn’t strong enough to fully sedate the male. He called 911 inside of the trunk the car. By the time the male was spotted he was almost administered the dosage of meth into his system. The cops managed to capture one of the assailants but the other two fled into the forest. The assailant at first began to yell a lot of weird and disjointed phases. Phases talking about a abusive family, a failed upbringing and other stuff. He was sent to the local clinic and a police escort was with him. After a few days of proper rest the assailant came to his senses, it seemed as if they were high and drugged as they performed these attacks. The assailant then told the DEA his whole story. In short, these overdose/killings were apart of a sadistic cult, the cult was formed after the leader, who lived in this town as a kid experienced a rough upbringing. He groomed various friends and family members to do his bidding and killing the people who had affected him. Once this information was revealed the DEA launched a raid into his house, which was a decent size ranch a hour out of the town. Of course as they entered the place was booby trapped and the assailant and his goons had been expecting the raid, probably due to sheer paranoia related to the drugs. The resulting firefight resulted in a moderate injury for 2 police officer and a minor injury for a DEA agent but the cult leader was put down. On further investigation, something that resembles a planning room was found and various pictures, surveillance shots were seen. On top of that, the meth lab was in the barn outside of the ranch, with a slew of other drugs, ranging from cocaine to LSD. What was even disturbing was the severed head of his father and mother were seen mounted in his bedroom as a.. Prize you could say.
Personality:
Javier’s personality is one of many traits and attributes one could say. For one, his time in the DEA have made his policy towards drugs pretty much “No, there bad for you, you shouldn’t be doing them etc”. He despises drug users that use illegal narcotics and either wises to get rid of them or simply be away furthest away from them as he can. However, he does recognize accidental usage can happen and may rarely make an exception if he is shown sufficient evidence or proof. When it comes to combat scenarios and situations, Javier’s is more on the edge and quiet. He tends to be extra careful and caution when exposed to combat situations and most of the time he does have a trigger finger if he himself feel’s he is in a exposed or deadly situation. But, most of the time if he feels he has allies or the upper hand he’ll evaluate and proceed to subdue or kill. As for investigations and job related matters, he’s a clear workaholic. He enjoys the usual distraction but makes sure that it doesn’t hinder what he’s assigned to do nor create mess he needs to clean up. At the same time when working however, Javier is often one with his own sense of justice and morality. He accomplishes the said objective sure, but he accomplishes it in a away that pleases him and appeases his own set of morals. These morals often include things like his attitude towards the justice system and the way some things are too leniently enforced (Or the opposite) to his attitude on drugs to even at times the way a suspect committed a crime (Eg, raped a women Javier probably would take a few jabs at him).

Weaknesses:
Erratic Sleeping Patterns - Images of the unhinging operation and the whole case still play a role in Javier’s head, he doesn’t get sleep or sleeps in.
Dependency on painkillers - Javier is prone to getting headaches, where for a few hours are a simply annoyance can lead to him needing to lay down for a abit and sleep them off hindering his ability to operate. That’s why he always has painkillers on him to nullify these headaches.

Personality:
Javier’s mental mindset is mixed. For one he’s noted to be a thinker, someone who talks last but thinks first. He always scans his situation out and analyzes what is really happening before deciding to act. When he does act however, he either acts in a manner that is precise and clean most of the time, trying to limit any collateral damage from his choice. However, for those times that he can’t be precise or clean, Javier instead is known to simply get the job down no matter what the damage may be nor what the consequences are. An outspoken part of Javier is moral and ethical decisions. Years in the DEA have given him some sort of high ground and Javier most often than not will try to do the right thing, that he perceives to be good in his books and tries to enforce it. Yet he enforces it in a convincing/non-rash manner, to avoid upsetting others (Or trying to make a temporary compromise) and to succeed in the operation.

@Leidenschaft Should be good, if anything needs updating or anything real word that needs fact checking let me know!
Other than a few typos here and there, as well as some sentence restructuring needing done, and a bit more fleshing out of his personality, I think Javier is pretty good. I'll add you to the roster. Feel free to put Javier in the characters tab for the time being and get to his personality section. Feel out how what this character's experiences have done to him, what makes him tick, things like that.
After taking a peek at the team resources I find I may be buying most of my own ammunition. Hahaha! Gotta keep it STREET DAWG!
lol I was about to say, I was filling all of that out and couldn't be assed at 12am to start looking on sheets and looking up/trying to remember all of the ammunition types we need. Fun fact: until just now, I'd no idea sig p320s came in .357. Pretty funny, considering it is chambered in .357 SIG.
