[OOC] A City on Fire

[FantasyChic]

@KiwiBaer Another question. How many leaders per group? Wondering if my character would be a co-leader of sorts or just a high-tier assassin

[KiwiBaer]

@FantasyChic
Only one. But yeah, if you work it out with your leader, you can probably have a lot of power, or not, that parts not up to me.

[KiwiBaer]

Also, side note to everyone, I was honestly gonna try and get the PMs out today, I swear. But I've had a really bad headache and kinda just a bad day in general so that didn't happen.

Hopefully I'll get them out late tomorrow, but maybe not. At that point, y'all can just assassinate me, I'm so sorry.

Colette Alba

---

---

Name: Colette Alba

Group: The Royals

Position in group: Senior Assassin

Codename: The White Queen

Age: 24

---

Appearance: Colette stands at 5'7'' and weighs 120 lbs. She has a slim frame with curves in the right areas. She has long, platinum blonde hair, almost white in appearance, and silver eyes. Her skin tone is eerily pale, with subtle hints of color in the cheeks. Her typical attire consists of high-end clothing, dresses, tights, blouses, jackets, and boots and heels. She usually wears clothing in certain colors, most notably black, white, and silver. She has a tattoo of angel wings on her back and shoulders. She has pierced ears and a small nose stud.

Personality: Much like her appearance, Colette can be icy and cool to talk to. She doesn't relish conversations with ordinary people and she isn't afraid to touch a raw nerve if she felt she would get a kick out of it. She enjoys starting trouble and doesn't shy away from confrontation. Some would say she likes to watch the world burn, but that isn't necessarily true. While she enjoys mischief, she has a soft spot for those she is close to, especially those in her group, considering the family she never had (or wanted). If you get on her good side, she is a fiercely loyal ally.

Background: Colette wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Colette isn't even her birth name. But the girl that grew up in a home that didn't want her was no more. She was dead by all accounts. Died in a fire that left the family with no surviving members. Just a small girl watching on the street, clutching a teddy bear with one of the eyes missing.

The little girl was bounced around from home to home, but if she didn't like her family or where she lived, she caused trouble and got booted out. It wasn't until she was placed in a well off family that she decided to stay. She acted like the perfect daughter and the family was happy. She was given many things, the best education, all the clothes and toys she could want.

This was how one lived.

As she got older, life got boring. She needed something fun to do. The family was exhausting its use. They had money, but she wanted more. She always wanted more. She started off small. Petty thievery, small fights, but worked her way up. Eventually, she had her first kill. It didn't hit her how much she enjoyed it. She mentally checked herself. She saw enough times about the first kill cracking the mental state. She was fine. She just had fun.

She continued this trend getting older. Sneaking into places, mainly to show she could. Her parents, or whoever they were, were none the wiser.

She received the delightfully written invitation on expensive paper. An invitation. It was merely signed "The Royals". She had to admit, it perked her up. So she came and experienced the mayhem that was The Royals. She met the head of it, Liam, and the two became acquainted. He had heard of her skills and offered her a job, of sorts. She was entranced. The lifestyle she had grown accustomed to was now within reach and she could control it.

She left her family behind with very little words. She got set up and continued her fun.

Leisure activities: Colette enjoys shopping. A lot. She also enjoys music, listening to it, dancing, going to clubs and parties. She enjoys fine dining and anything else that costs a lot.

Extra: She considers Liam to be a father figure, despite the small age gap.

She owns a small, black cat named Midnight.

She typicall wields dual silenced pistols as weapons, but has been known to use the sniper rifle for trickier hits. She is also pretty skilled in self-defense, in case things get hairy.

@KiwiBaer Here is my sheet.

Also @bluetommy2 I took a small amount of liberty with your character and mine interacting. If it's an issue, let me know.

[urukhai]

aaaaand done, I think. If there is anything that I messed up, or got wrong, please tell me!

For reference, I was thinking his garden is like the Alnwick Poison Garden. As such it would mainly be used for education purposes for the public, as well as looking pretty.

[KiwiBaer]

@urukhai
Wow.
That fits like... super perfectly with what I had planned, you have no idea haha

@FantasyChic
Miss Alba is gorgeous!!! *o*

[KiwiBaer]

@Kronshi
Did you ever decide whether or not you want to lead Black Cats? Because if you don't, I was thinking I'd just take it over. But you of course have first say if you want it!

EDIT: So I'm sending out all of the PMs out right now(I actually got them done, yay!) except for Black Cats, because the dynamics of it will be drastically different whether Kronshi decides to lead it or I do. But just so y'all know, I was a good GM while you were away.

If you don't receive one and you aren't in BC, then let me know I suck.

[Kronshi]

@KiwiBaer I'm not sure. I was actually hoping the pm would give me some more info so I could decide what kind of character I wanted to do.

[KiwiBaer]

@Kronshi
Ha, okay sorry. Um, I'll get it up later today then and try to keep it general. I have a meeting soon, but after that I can get to work on it.

Geneviève Saunier

The Star

---

---

Name: Geneviève Saunier

Group: Familia

Position in group: Newbie

Codename: The Star

Age: 23

---

Appearance:

Geneviève has a modest and slender figure. Here skin is lightly sun-kissed, something which she takes very good care of. Complimenting her skin is her vibrant maroon colored hair, in addition, something that’s rather special about her appearance, at least regarding her eyes is they’re heterochromatic, even rarer, one of them is a violet color. Most days her attire consists of skinny jeans, a black belt a white hoodie and a brown leather jacket, though on special occasions, she has been known to wear outfits such as dresses or skirts, but she mostly sticks to her usual outfit.

Personality:

Having a laid back and relaxed attitude, Geneviève tends to not to let most things get to her, however she’s not afraid to show a more fiery temper should something make her angry. She primarily likes to spend time by herself, though she isn’t opposed to being around others and drumming up conversation. Geneviève has a strong will to help others and is very picky with contracts she chooses to accept, usually only choosing ones where the person making the request has been wronged in some way, she’ll never accept one where it’s solely harming an innocent person.

Background:

Born in Évreux, France to a wealthy family, Geneviève was groomed from the day she was born to be a debutante, her childhood and early teenage years spent going to fancy schools, her parents affording her the best education possible. Not only that but she attended many aristocratic social gatherings at the behest of her parents so that she could find a future husband to produce an heir for both families and combine their fortune.

When she was around fifteen, her family and herself moved to the states, Geneviève’s father having arranged a marriage for her, the real motive behind it was merging his company and her future father-in-law’s company’s together, increasing the wealth of both as well as giving each other access to locations that they hadn’t developed in yet.

Geneviève on the other hand wasn’t for this life style nor for the arranged marriage, she greatly disliked the smugness the wealthy gave off and her arranged husband was no different, but that being just one of the many reasons she didn’t like her betrothed. Upon her eighteenth birthday, right around the time she was to be married, she upped and left during the middle of the night, boarding a train that was headed for Match City; she didn’t care how this would affect her father’s business relationship nor did she care if she was cut off from her family’s fortune, she didn’t need that lifestyle and if she never saw it again, she wouldn’t mind.

Once making it to Match City, she wasted no time in setting up a life there, finding work and an apartment, she quickly made the city her new home. However with all the crime that she both saw and heard about and the police seemingly doing nothing about it, she couldn’t sit idly by and decided to take matters into her own hands, using an old pistol that was her grandfather’s, she set about bringing her own justice to the city to make it a better place.

It wasn’t easy for her at first, but the more she kept at it, the more her views of justice outweighed her conscience. One morning, she received a letter, nothing written on the front, just a stamp on the back, telling her to meet a secluded spot that was written in the note. Curiosity getting the better of her, she decided to go to the meeting spot during the night, a shadow figure explaining her activities had been watched and that she could be useful to their group.

Seeing there were others like her and that they perhaps had the resources to help further her goals of cleaning the crime ridden streets, she eagerly accepted, that was a few weeks ago and whilst she’s still green to both assassinations as well as the group, she’s eager to prove herself.

Leisure activities:

Geneviève tends to read and listen to music during her free time or working at a coffee shop.

Extra:

Geneviève is always looking to improve old skills as well as add new ones, so she’s constantly trying learn everything she can from fire arms to blades, bows, lockpicking, anything to make her a more effective assassin. So far she’s adequate with opening a lock and she’s beginning to favor blades as well, well rather a particular type, the rapier.

Her primary pistols are the Mauser C69 “Red 9” variant and the Luger P08, liking them for their design as well as the sentimentality behind them, these weapons are always holstered on her and rarely does she let others hold them.

@KiwiBaer Here's my CS, sorry for the delay, hopefully everything is in order with it. :)

[Rune_Alchemist]

@KiwiBaer

Welp, here she is! Do tell if I need to change/fix anything.

Your friendly neighborhood chemist

Name:
Ashlyn Irving

Group:
Avia

Position in group:
Assassin

Codename:
Owl

Age:
26

Appearance:
Ashlyn has short black hair that falls to her shoulders. She has a healthy, almost flawless complexion one might expect of someone that pays great attention to both detail and appearance, perhaps stemming from her day job. She has dull blue grey eyes that often wear an amused or generally friendly expression, her mouth typically turned up in a smile or in a tired frown if it's been a long day.

When doing leisurely activities, she can typically be seen wearing slight high end looking garments. A chemists salary pays pretty well, and money from Avia definitely helps. Typically, she can be seen wearing some sort of high class boots, comfortable light pants and a light long sleeved top with a jacket over it.

Otherwise, when on the job, as she greatly values her privacy she goes to great lengths to hide her actual identity to an almost paranoid level. She wears elbow length surgical gloves modified slightly to make sure no fingerprints are left behind. Her entire face, head, and neck, is covered by a gas mask that she has modified herself to be able to safely filter out most toxic substances in the air. A sometimes necessary requirement considering her favored method of killing. Simple black jeans, a immaculately clean lab coat and easy to move in boots complete the outfit.

Personality:
Generally speaking, most of the time on the surface Ashlyn is friendly, amicable, and all smiles and generally a warm personality. Especially at her day job working in a lab as a Chemist - requires that more often than not, she is exactly that. People find her easy to talk too, and she likes talking to people. Generally, she'd be described as a people person quite easily. She likes being around people, likes talking, being playfully flirtatious and otherwise being friendly to people she can get along with. As she is quite easy to get along with, this tends to be quite a number of people and she finds it quite difficult to dislike or be angry with people for long.

However, under that initial amicability one might find her to be both surprisingly stubborn and somewhat...obsessive. She doesn't seem to take most things seriously, either, going along life completely without a care. She also tends to be a very private person, despite her amicable seeming nature.

She dislikes people visiting her home, and greatly dislikes people being nosy or overly pushy about things. If there's one thing she hates, it's people who don't know when to quit when they're in over their head, or what they're trying to accomplish is impossible for them. She tends to also keep to herself outside of the work place, and doesn't really 'hang out' with people that much, some might find it an odd trait for her to have, but as she says, she is a busy person.

Background:
Ashlyn, is a product of a wealthy upbringing and near perfect education. She was born into a family of doctors, scientists, and other such people who had been such for generations and were quite proud of their lineage. She of course, was expected to be no exception. From the moment she was born she was made to study, go to the best schools, eat healthily, etc. Things such as that. She could have turned out a lot worse, all things considered really. She had a fairly average life growing up, if somewhat bored due to nothing particularly interesting her as far as academics and was already resigned to taking over her parents hospital.

Well, until she decided to give Chemistry a try. She absolutely loved it. She never particularly wanted to be a doctor, and decided to instead, become a chemist and help research new drugs, chemicals, and other such things that could be beneficial and help people. Not only did it earn her a fairly good salary, working with such chemicals gave her an odd sense of empowerment. She wasn't bored any more, and she could use her knowledge to make sure she was never bored again. After graduating college, she quickly landed a job in the medical field.

It was some time later, that she was 'contacted' by someone calling himself called Kestrel...well, she wasn't given much of an option in the matter, so she decided to join Avia.

Leisure activities:
- Her day job, if you will, is that of a chemist in Match City. She is well respected in certain scientific circles, and has aided in some development of some 'fun' new chemicals.
- Spends free time reading, playing chess, even a bit of writing.

Extra:
- She is incredibly intelligent, almost near genius levels of it, in fact and likes putting it to good use in a number of ways, and tends to be incredibly logical in her approach to things, almost coldly so.

- Spent a number of years...'experimenting' with poisons and things toxic to humans for whatever reason and built up a resistance to a number of common drugs, knock out agents, and other such things. Why? For science, obviously.

- When alone, or when she thinks she is alone she becomes rather...somber. Her typical warm smile is replaced by a slightly unsettling neutral expression. Almost emotionless, really. Perhaps one that is slightly annoyed. 'Bored' might be an apt word.

-Incredibly observant, and has excellent eyesight for details and extremely steady hands.

-Vast knowledge of the human body, biology and chemicals in general.

-Her favored forms of taking out someone, is with gas. Chemicals are incredibly fun, no? While the potential for collateral damage is high to be sure and she uses lethal gasses sparingly, its always a pleasure to hear someones screams as their skin effectively boils. Otherwise, she makes use of kidnapping unsuspecting targets, and using them to test various poisons, chemicals, and other such things and taking as many notes as she can on what happens. Doesn't mind getting a little creative in learning a bit more about the human body, either. If kidnapping is unavailable, syringes full of deadly substances aren't that difficult to make.

[FantasyChic]

@KiwiBaer So is my character accepted?

[KiwiBaer]

Yes, everyone who has submitted their CS's beforehand and is pleased with how they fit in to the new information provided are accepted.

So that means @FantasyChic, @Rune_Alchemist, @Sohtem, @urukhai, @bluetommy2, @Keksalot can all pass along your characters to the character part. (I am 96% sure I got everyone this time)

Also I was thinking that since there's at least two of us in each group, it should be fine if someone wanted to make a secondary character if they felt they could successfully juggle it? Anyone interested?

[Sohtem]

@KiwiBaer Moved my character over.

[Bluetommy]

I don't think I could take a secondary, but if someone does it would be good if we got another male, it's looking like a tuna-fest in here.

[KiwiBaer]

I have lots of filler characters, so hopefully that'll help out with that a bit. I just gotta get around to actually writing them up :p

[PM]

Hello, is there still room?

Wanda!

Name: Wanda Sokol
Group: Avia
Codename: Pigeon
Position in group: Newbie assassin/surveillance
Age: 22
Appearance: Wanda is a small but sturdy girl, standing only a half-inch shy of 5'4, and weighed only around 110lbs, most of which is muscle as she is very athletic. Thick, dishwater blonde hair frames her pale face and drapes over her shoulders until just above her lower back, with shortened bangs, which often brush the tops of her eyebrows. Her eyes are a soft chocolate brown, and are often accented with different shades of eyeshadow and a bit of mascara. She takes a bit of care in how she dresses, often planning her outfits a night ahead, so she knows that it will be coordinated correctly and not rushed.
Personality: Wanda is an energetic and friendly sort, with a bit of a distant personality, but is otherwise petty sweet. She has a very good memory, and has never had any difficulty recalling faces, names, or anything really. Confident and witty, Wanda enjoys riling others up, and will often try to purposefully get a reaction out of someone in a situation if she's given the chance. She's more playful than malicious though, and is mindful of not making enemies with the wrong folks, and not being an asshole to too many others. She can still come off as a little snobbish at times though, especially when it comes to computers and her own programs or tech. She's a bit touchy on sharing any specifics though, and is quite secretive about the methods she uses for work.
Background: Wanda won't often go into detail about where she was born or how she grew up, but she will often recount it shortly as 'strict and honestly a bit unorthodox', and often redirects any attempt at dwelling into the subject. She claims that its done and in the past, but if you know her well, you'll know that it still does bother her. She left when she turned 17, drifting for awhile and surviving off credit card scams and robbing cars. It wasn't glamorous or anything, but she got by, and eventually managed to collect herself enough cash for an apartment somewhere. She happened to be in Match City when she decided she aught to relax somewhere and bed down, and moved somewhere in Avia's territory. She received an okay enough explanation for the way the city worked from the locals after she had moved in, and she decided pretty quick to request to join Avia, who seemed to have a decent enough moral code for her, and who could make use of skills she had previously not known what to do with.
Leisure activities: Programming and gaming. She also likes to people watch sometimes, or wander around different parts of the city. She also has a tabby cat named Beans that she often spends time with.
Extra: She's better with computer hardware, but will put together bots or rootkits for work or quick cash if she needs to. Enjoys sharing pictures of Beans with others.

//edit: i just realized the ratio to males/females, so if i should make a different/second character I can.

[FantasyChic]

Yeah we definitely need more dudes.

[KiwiBaer]

@PM
Well, uh, the only real issue I have is that you don't usually request to join Avia, Kestrel would search you out, but I can see him making an exception I suppose. Though she doesn't exactly seem like the type to be an assassin?

[Keksalot]

Assassins require a lot of support in their work, duh. Hackers, bueraucrats and doctors are all needed.
