Extra
criminal

Players: 4-5
Genre: Slight science-fantasy themes, Modern action
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Criminals come from all walks of life. Maybe you started as a simple petty thief and slowly became absorbed in the deep dark world of crime. Or maybe you were born into this darker side of the world, having past connections to a mob. Perhaps you have a cripplingly expensive addiction and have no other choices. Or, maybe you're just an adrenaline addict.
The thing is, nobody gives a fuck why we do what we do. They don't care. They just fear us for what we're capable of. As they fucking should. We're very good at what we do, and people don't respect that. But they will. Oooh, they will. We're gonna leave our mark on every big business that touches the light of day. I swear you that.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

I am the Senior, and I have the connections and skillset to make you a very rich individual. About a week ago, I finally put a plan, which I've been working on for a while, into motion. I found you, and a select few others, who are very good at being very bad. Yes, I know who you are and what you can do - no, it doesn't matter how I know. What does matter is that I'm offering you the chance to change everything you know for the better. I'm offering you the chance to spin the modern world as we know it on its head. The chance to make a difference...especially for your pocketbook.

It's a crew. Yes, a crew, but not just any crew. Professionals. All of you. Professionals who need partners. You may not think you do, but that's because you haven't seen true success. You know all those fat cats at the top who get famous just from being rich, right? They're household names. You don't see that in our line of work. But you will in time. We can make each other the richest motherfuckers on the planet, and if you're into a bit of voyeurism, we can make eachother the most famous motherfucking criminals on the planet, too.

That is, if you accept my offer.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Alright well, this is a pretty simple idea it seems. But don't you worry, we'll be getting into much more complicated scenarios throughout the length of this RP. This obviously has heavy inspiration from themes seen in the Payday videogame franchise, as well as a lil' bit from the Shadowrun tabletop franchise. This here world is set in a future(20XX) version of ours in which there are very slight supernatural phenomenon that grant few people supernatural abilities. These phenomenon don't do much, but they can have quite an impact on the lives of those who know how to use them.
Now before I bore you or scare you off, let me post the CS:


I'm looking for dedicated players to join me in a long-term rp for this idea. Ideally we'd have a group of a maximum of five, probably. Really looking for people to stick around with me for this'n.
I'll be acting as a sort of semi-semi-GM(lol) for this, directing the actions of The Senior(who directs the crew on occasion and provides jobs for them) as well as my own character within the crew - but all background characters(aside from those involved with The Senior's assignments) and such will, for the mostpart, be spread amongst our rp group as makes sense.

In terms of what I want from prospective players:
I obviously expect solid writing ability that fits within the general terms for an advanced rp. Good punctuation, two paragraphs minimum and all that, you get it. If you are lacking in this department I will not accept you. I very well may look at your post history, should I feel the need.
I also would say a soft-deadline of one week is reasonable for posts. There'll be a discord if we like that(I do), so communication will be frequent!

Uhhh, I'm 100% sure I'm forgetting something but here we go anyway!

We've got myself and two interested parties already, so probably 2-3 more players would be grand! ^^

I'm interested. I will admit though, I've never done an urban fantasy-esque RP before. Feel free to check out my other posts. I haven't been in any active RPs yet, but I've got plenty of IC snapshots written with applications.

I have the most IC writing in Dragoneir and the deepest character info I've done is for Marriage and War. Feel free to check them out and let me know if you think I could make a good fit.

You're very much welcome to apply, yeh. I'll be accepting people by their sheets(2 to 3 sheets). Welcome to the site by the way!

I realize this puts us up to three ex-military guys, but it was honestly the easiest way I figured someone could be up to par to do Payday heists/shadowruns.

Wow yeah I’m looking at the three and there’s def some similarities. If people prefer I can scratch my demolitions idea, come up with something else? I’d prefer not to but I also don’t want to mess anything up

Nah I think the overlaps are prolly good for their ability to work together

I mean, most ex-military have at least some knowledge of explosives, and of how to get a base line so they can more easily blend in, and how to use a bloody firearm. So really, I think that they all make sense and would work together fairly well.

In either case, I apologize for the delay on my post. Took a while to find a picture I liked. Will be finishing tomorrow.

I think the overlap is likely fine, I reckon a lot of ex-military personnel find these types of things rather attractive, and they're naturally good at it of course.

I'll have the ooc up soon and then I'll be looking at sheets, since we have a couple more on the way and potentially more people who've been lurking.

Also as a note to everyone(I will mention @WolfHorns as Step's bio ignores this rule), here's an extension to what I mean when I say "phenomena are never blatant":

"Yeah nobody will be able to notice it as a detail of your character IC, ever. It may be evident in some cases through misinterpretation(such as somebody who has a pain-muting phenomena just being seen as a fucking tank of willpower), but the phenomena aren't something IC characters will know of.
In most cases even the possessors of the phenomena are unnassuming of it."
