So an MP, a cross dresser, a scientist, a french girl, a super soldier, and a New Zealander all walk onto a boat...

Excuse my ignorance towards acronyms, but MP?

[ImportantNobody]

I don't think that would be standard practice or else they would suffer greatly for it in the long run. It would have to be isolated incidents such as in your case so they wouldn't arouse suspicion and lose all their most useful troops.

Hmm...I'll need to come up with some good villains for us to fight...super soldier japanese ninja mercenary?! Epic.

So, I've refined the idea:

Elise is in Black Ops, a full team of experienced soldiers forming a team of high expertise as they've been tasked with passing off as a NUA squadron. They've infiltrated the comms, gotten IDs, done everything to be as normal as possible, until another Black Ops group attacks their safehouse. Shoot up the place, pursue the escaping Operatives...

That other team would be a NUA one. Elise of course, escapes and survives until she ends up with the main group, still trying to establish contact with her Black Ops Team.

Military Police.

[ImportantNobody]

So the French girl is a spy after all?

[Etcetera]

Protagonist said
Military Police.

Ah, thanks.

[Frettzo]

Not yet. The last order they received was to establish themselves in the military. The group never got to the point of relaying any kind of information back to France. So Elise's just trying to contact her group in order to get the next set of orders as quickly as possible.

[ImportantNobody]

Okay. Whatever she is she might not be trusted at first, so we'll see how that works out.
Anyone want to join the villain team with a second character?

[Frettzo]

What's the villain team?

Also, if she's not trusted at first, better that nobody is trusted at first, right? Because no one else knows her backstory, and for all they know, her french accent is actually Canadian!

I'll consider it, sure. Maybe a diplomat or a political party leader.

[ImportantNobody]

I guess she could be good at hiding it, just so long she doesn't reveal her love of croissants then we won't find out.

The villain team will be anyone who will fight us.

[WittyReference]

I hope she's good at hiding it. Curtis is far too preoccupied chasing ghosts to go hunting phantoms but if he suspected a spy in his midst the NUA would have to be informed.

In Tommy's defense; he's been in countries that would have taken him on sight just for being a male (which did end up happening). He doesn't enjoy cross dressing, it's just a skill that he's reluctantly learned to appreciate. Since it let's him move around unmolested (pun very much intended).

[Frettzo]

I'm worried of meta gaming now. Just because someone OOC is known to be working for the other side doesn't mean that all characters will magically be suspicious and aware something is not right with the character. So far, I've not read about anyone being counter-intelligence or a spy sniffer. Let's keep meta gaming to a minimum, and the RP will go along awesomely :p

I dig it; ninjas disguised as Geisha were just as deadly.

[ImportantNobody]

I should have a crossdressing rival on the bad team. He ended up enjoying it and could tease your guy about it.

Oh, you misunderstand. It's not that I plan to spoil any of the narrative (hell, I helped with some of it) when I say Curtis would be suspicious it's not because he spots a spy it's because he spots a French person. Remember, the experiments he underwent were a result of trying to push the beaches of Normandy in France only to have them now become an enemy of the Allies. He's not counter-intelligence, he just holds a grudge.

[Frettzo]

That's cool, I'm just clearing it up as I've had many problems in the past regarding the horrible act of meta-gaming, and I don't want to have such situations repeated again.

Noted and respected. How about anything to do with the political affairs of our characters we discuss in PM beforehand to avoid such situations? (Avoid meta by practicing meta xP)
