[Hitman]

well, it depends. if it's like a lara croft-esque video game, then that works. but if it's phoenix wright, y'know...

[EchoesofOld]

Nah, it's from Warframe, so it's more or less a 3-d Render of a human being

[Hitman]

Send it to me in a PM. If it works, it works.

[EchoesofOld]

I just put it on the CS. Frankly if that doesn't work, I'll just bow out cause I can't be assed to find something else.

[Hitman]

should work, though i'm gonna have nightmares from those eyes lol

[Avanhelsing]

I hope my guy was alright. I worked quite hard on him.

[EchoesofOld]

To be fair, that was the best I could manage. If THAT is nightmare inducing, you don't wanna see the other options. Also worth noting that "brown eyes" was damn near impossible to rig up, so yoose yer imaginashuns, Kidz!

[SpicyMeatball]

General Information

Name: Katarina Glass Castillo

Nickname/Alias: Kat. Don’t dare call her Katerina. Only her parents call her that. And only when they’re mad.

Age: 14. May 26th 20XX. Classic Gemini

Gender: Female

Home Country: She’s half Venezuelan and half British.

Appearance: Kat has large expressive black eyes that seem warm and trusting but can be very deadly when needed. Her hair is long and thick, with soft black curls when not straightened. It reaches about her upper chest but she usually keeps her hair up and out of the way in a high ponytail. Her skin is light mocha brown and is evenly tanned with a dusting of darker brown freckles most prominently on her nose then tapering off on either side. Her bottom lip is fuller than the top and a dark pink while the top is smaller and a darker brown. Due to intense training and exercise, she is very slim with nicely defined muscles. Her palms and soles are calloused due to her constant training and she while she sports scars and bruises, it’s not so many to indicate a lack of skill. At 5’2 she is very small but makes up for it with her large personality.

Personal Information

Personality: Kat is an interesting person to say the least. Naturally a warm, cheerful, curious little thing, internally she can be quite suspicious and wary. But once you gain her trust the true Kat shines through. Talkative and quick-thinking, she will nag and pester her friends with questions a mile a minute. She is very expressive and emotional though she has learned to school both these traits and rarely shows them to outsiders.

A multi-faceted person she is both mischievous and mature, childlike and calm, excitable and brave. She can be quite stubborn and likes to be independent. Her curiosity often leads her to trouble, however. She often has a slightly over-inflated opinion of herself and once challenged, will doggedly persist with the task. She attributes both these characteristics as a coping mechanism she adopted as her family generally excels at everything.

Bio: Kat has been waiting for this her whole life. Her mother, Valeria Sofía Castillo Díaz, was a high ranking member of the Servicio Bolivariano de Inteligencia Nacional or Bolivarian National Intelligence Service (SEBIN for short) and her father, Maxwell Glass, was also a high ranking member of MI6 when they first met. They were teamed up together during an international counter-surveillance mission against a -REDACTED- target. For the best part of a year, they were forced to act like a couple in order to fool the target. Acting turned into reality and fast forward two years they both quit their respective agencies and have since started their own private intelligence service.

Her parents tried to keep their work from her a secret when she was young but with four older siblings who all knew the truth, it wasn’t long before she too understood her parent’s careers and all those mysterious “business trips”. Her four older siblings, two older brothers, and two older sisters, have all gone to work in SEBIN, MI6 or other private intelligence agencies (not one of them works with their parents). Oh and if that wasn’t pressure enough, they’ve all passed through S.P.I.G.A will high honors.
Kat has been training and waiting for the day she could join S.P.I.G.A and on April 27th she got a letter with S.P.I.G.A emblazoned on the front. Easily the best morning wake up she has had.

Spy Information

Talents:

• Extensive training: With her family background, firearm and combat training is an essential part of life for Kat. Coupled with her genuine interest and passion for firearms, in particular, Kat has honed her skills into being a sharpshooter. In comparison, her martial art training is a little rusty.
  • El Juego del Garrote: A Venezuelan martial arts system which involves the machete, the stick and knife fencing. Although used almost ceremoniously, the garrote training has given her the advantage of being able to use different objects as weapons. However, as it’s rarely practiced, both in Venezuela and in her household, her grasp of garrote is slowly slipping.
  • Krav Maga: A military self-defense and fighting system developed for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Israeli security forces, Kat and her family spend most of their time practicing Krav Maga as it’s real-world applications and a mix of fighting styles provide versatility and surprise. Kat is still learning and developing her skills in Krav Maga, moving into advanced although she’s not quite there yet.
  • Firearms: Kat’s all-time favorite! Well known for her passion for firearms, she has a lot of heirlooms and trinkets from her families and their times in different services. Due to her love, she spends a lot of time practicing and as such, she’s an excellent markswoman. Most of her guns have a fingerprint-enabled trigger.
• Disguise: Kat is great at blending into a crowd and slipping a tail. While most families spent Saturday afternoons at the park, the Glass’ would practice disguise, hiding-in-plain-sight and the art of slipping a tail. After many, many sessions, now Kat is great at disguising herself, even with no prior warning or limited resources— she’s been known to ‘borrow’ items during such cases.

Gadgetry:

• Biometric gloves: Ultra-fine skin-like gloves on the underside of her hand. Once Kat shakes someone’s hand, their fingerprints would impress on her palm and the biometric would scan, store and transfer those fingerprints to the correct position on hers.
• Smartphone: Her smartphone is face, voice and fingerprint protected. It looks and acts like any normal smartphone except, she has a pseudo-Candy Crush app called Starburst (designed by her parents) that, once the correct password is inputted, offers additional services such as breaking through standard firewalls, a secure server and access to facial recognition databases.
• Bren Infantry Light Machine Gun: Passed down from her grandfather to her father and now to her, the Bren is outfitted with a curved box magazine, conical flash hider and quick change barrel. Most importantly to her, her grandfather used the Bren during his service in World War II.
• Glock 36: She has two Glock 36 which she uses regularly. The .45 caliber and black matte finish make for ideal guns during missions. She especially likes that she can easily conceal them and that she got a custom-built double gun shoulder rig as her going-away present from her eldest sister.
• Hi-Power Browning: One of her favorite guns, the .40 SW was the first gun that was her own. Prior to the Browning, she was loaned those of her siblings but this one was her own. She calls it Pixie.
• Her brother Matías’ leather jacket and Ángel’s combat boots. She has no idea what they do yet.

Other Items:

• Framed picture of her family taken on her 14th birthday.
• Her brother Matías’ leather jacket and Ángel’s combat boots.
• A Smith & Wesson Model 29. The double-action, .44 Magnum cartridge revolver is almost never used. It isn’t loaded but used as a token to remember her abuela.
• A locket with pieces of bullets from her family’s favorite guns.
• A collection of books inherited from her sister Elena in a mix of languages.
• A laptop for her general browsing and entertainment needs.
• A suitcase with clothes and toiletries, some stuff might have been stolen from her siblings.

Other Information

She speaks Spanish, English, Scottish Gaelic (her father’s family is half-Scottish) and French fluently. She’s semi-fluent in Russian and Mandarin.
Her siblings (in order of birth):

• Valentina
• Matías
• Ángel Sebastián
• Elena

Full Name:

Dominique CLASSIFIED LaCroix

Nickname/Alias:

N/A

Age:

15, January 21st

Gender:

Female

Home Country:

France

Appearance:

Dominique stands about 1.55 metres tall and weighs in at around 120 pounds. She has long ginger hair that reaches down to her shoulder blades and pale blue eyes that seem to match the ocean. Her body is toned and lean from many years in competitive swimming and training in mixed martial arts. Visible down most of her right arm is a rather abstract tattoo, obtained in a shady parlour without the permission of her parents.

Personal Information

Personality:

Dominique is a rather rebellious individual. She doesn’t like adhering to rules and regulations, nor does she enjoy being ordered around by others. Almost a nightmare for her parents to deal with. Not overtly mean however, she is a rather kind individual to those close with her. Her heart, while not worn on her sleeve, is large and welcoming. She will warm up to most people rather quickly and is loyal to a fault.

Energetic and forward-thinking, quick-witted and a bit of a smart ass. She’s been known to start fights in her own defense and the defense of others and tries to vouch for the underdogs. Under pressure she can be a bit hot-headed and her temper is legendary, but underneath all of that reveals a level headed spitfire that wants to help her team.

Biography:

Dominique grew up oblivious of her parents true images. For the first ten years of her life she was pushed through so many different extra-curricular activities that she didn’t really have time to do anything besides school and train. At first it was mixed martial arts, which her parents claimed was to improve her self confidence and to defend herself at school. Then, it was swimming lessons, lifeguarding and competitive swimming. By the time she was twelve, she was fed up with the constant lessons and meetings. Through the following years, Dominique started to run off into the city at night, often meeting her friends that she rarely had had time to see apart from at school.

It was only when she was fourteen, a year before her enrollment at S.P.I.G.A, that she learned the true nature of her life. Her parents, both agents for the DGSE (Directorate Générale de la Sécurité Externale), had recommended her for the youth program without her knowledge. When the letter arrived with the S.P.I.G.A branding, she was confused as to why she of all people had received the letter. That’s when it clicked in her mind. The constant lack of at least one of her parents on any given day, the harsh physical training, the numerous languages she’d learned. It all made sense to her now.

Her parents were conveniently both home the day Dominique had received the letter and explained to her the circumstances of the recommendation. Her rebelliousness was to only be expected for her age, but they had also seen her potential.

She was off to the airport in the following months for her flight to the Wardshire Castle, her new home for the years to come.

Talents:

• Excellent Athlete: With cardio like a horse and the muscle to show, Dominique is in peak physical form for her age thanks to her extensive time training for her competitive swim team and martial arts tournaments. She has great endurance and while her pure strength may fall a bit shorter compared to someone who solely strength trained, she is lean and agile and her strikes hit like missiles.
• Master of Blades: Alright, she isn’t quite a master, but Dominique knows her way around knives. She’s learned how to both use one in MMA and disarm an opponent with one, and through specialty training on the side, knows how to throw one quite accurately as well.
• Medical Knowledge: Dominique isn’t a surgeon by any means, but she knows enough to potentially save a life if the situation calls. Through her lifeguard training she was introduced to advanced first aid both in the water and out, and has maintained a higher than average level of first-aid knowledge.
• Languages: Speaks French natively. Speaks English, German and Spanish semi-fluently.

Gadgetry:

• Beretta M9A1 Pistol: While not one for firearms, Dominique recognized the need for a sidearm while in the field and has chosen to arm herself with the trusty 9mm and is trained to use it effectively.
• Modified Arm Bracers: To compliment her skill in hand to hand combat, Dominique designed a system that integrates into a set of archery forearm braces. They are capable of delivering up to 50,000 volts through contacts on the palms and blocking most melee weapons with lightweight titanium plates running along the top. They also integrate two slender blades on the insides of the forearms to be easily accessed in an emergency.
• Knives, knives and more knives: Some may call it an obsession, but to her its a necessity. Dominique carries anywhere from two to six blades on her person at any given time. Two of them are integrated into the soles of her boots and two mounted to sheaths that attach to her vest just below the ribcage. The remaining two are the aforementioned wrist mounted panic knives. All of her knives are balanced to enable accurate throwing.
• Contact Lens Camera: Mounted to her dominant eye, the camera is almost invisible at a glance and even upon close inspection, one would be hard pressed to see it. High resolution 24MP photographs sent directly to her phone and laptop in the literal blink of an eye.

Other Items:

• Laptop, mainly for leisure during off times or taking notes in class.
• Picture of her mother and father, tucked in her wallet.
• Wireless headphones, almost invisible when inserted for stealthy music.

[Soph123]

Do ya have anymore room here? I'd love to join! I can get a CS up by tomorrow :)

[World Traveler]

@Soph123

I can't speak for the GM, but no one has been accepted yet so I am assuming you can apply. Also this role play is a large group one so that can often mean more the better. I would wait for the GM to give final say, but starting to work on a character sheet shouldn't be wasted time.

[Hitman]

hey there guys i'm here.

final decision is that we'll be accepting 12 characters. right now we have 6 completed characters and 2 wips (me and @sassy1085, so that leaves 4 open spots.

if i give your form a like, you're accepted.

[SpicyMeatball]

@Agent 47 Are we to post them in the Characters Tab?

[World Traveler]

I can already tell everyone is going to pick on my character for his French Canadian accent when he speaks French :)

[Infernal Flame]

@World Traveler My character won't but I tease my French Canadian friends all the time. 😂 I've been speaking French my entire life but I need subtitles for videos where they speak in the French Canadian accent.

[Avanhelsing]

@World Traveler
My guy's reaction would more be to pester him until he gives up the secret of his accent.
