It's 2430, and most would say the world isn't what it used to be. The government is so corrupted nothing can drag it out of the darkness, and power is doled out only to those who are willing to spill blood for their own gain. These assassins range from simple street thugs to highly-trained killing machines. They go around finding whatever work they can, but are just as willing to turn on an old employer for the promise of better pay or benefits.

The new self-titled 'king' of the country is named Edward Bradley. It's said he bought his way to the top with dozens of bodies of government officials and thousands of dollars in bribes, but in his victory speech he promised to rid the country of the assassins that have flocked to the cities like flies on rotting meat. A select few of the assassins have been turned into 'instruments of peace,' meaning they'll be the ones hunting down those who do the dirty work of their employers. Among the assassins, they're known as traitors, scum of the lowest degree. This announcement has bred major distrust even among the most closely-knit groups. As the saying goes, everyone has a price. Many have gone into hiding until the whole thing blows over, but there are some who can't afford to or simply couldn't survive without a job to do. How will you survive in this strange new world?

Name:
Angela Jenkins (Ang by her family and close friends.)

Age:
27

Gender:
Female

Appearance:
Angela is an average 5’ 4” but she has a very muscular build from years of training. She looks to be an average weight, but is around 150 lbs. Ang has a shock of red hair that’s cut short into a bob, and she often dyes it different colors to blend in with the crowd. Her eyes are a light, almost clear blue. Normally Angela wears neutral colors, usually jeans and a t-shirt, and she doesn’t really like to dress up unless it’s necessary. On assignments, she wears black spandex and sneakers. Angela doesn’t bother with makeup, claiming it’s a waste of her time. When she’s not working, she’ll wear a silver watch which she claims is from her grandmother and a silver necklace with a bird pendant, which is actually from her grandmother.

Personality:
Angela is very often sarcastic and snippy, bordering on rude (and many times crossing the line). She uses anger to cover up her real emotions, and as a result pushes others away who just want to help her. She has a chronic habit of swearing and doesn’t tolerate any sort of lying or half-truths from anybody. Ang tends to run her mouth too often, and lets secrets slip as a result. She’s also quick to anger and is too proud to back down from a fight, which has resulted in too many injuries to count. Her family is also her weakness, and could be used against her. Angela’s careful to make no mention of them, but sometimes words slip out or somebody follows her home and she has to kill another person to keep them safe. When Angela gets particularly angry, she makes rash decisions which can have terrible ramifications. However, she’s very proud of the work she does. Ang is most comfortable in a dark bar sipping beer and watching the patrons come in and out throughout the night. Ang prefers to be the one watching the action rather than the one participating, which is why she managed to stay hidden this long. She’s paranoid enough to stay alive in this city, and she’d like it to stay that way. When she’s on a job, the constant anger in her head just disappears and Ang does what she has to do, coldly and quickly. It’s its own form of therapy, she supposes.

General History:
She grew up in this city as a young, innocent child for too short a time. Ang was seven when she saw her first dead body – and after that, they just kept pouring in. She didn’t really know what was happening, but she lived through one of the biggest massacres this city had ever seen, with people, assassins and civilians alike, killed for treason. She grew to have a high tolerance for gore and blood, almost a fascination with the victims she saw on the street. Ang lived with her mother and father, and joined a group of older assassins at age eleven with the intention of protecting them from the terrible things she saw walking to school each day. Her extracurricular activities were learning how to fire a weapon properly, learning how to pickpocket, and how to disappear in a crowd. The group she grew up with was killed by some assassin who she still hasn’t found and doubts she ever will. But for some reason, Angela survived, and she intends to make the best use of her life. At seventeen, she dropped out of school and made her living as a mercenary of sorts, doing whatever work didn’t require spilling blood. She avoided killing for as long as possible, until it was the only option if she wanted to have enough money to send back to her parents. They know she’s an assassin – and they disapprove, of course – but they can’t deny the bloodstained money when they need it so badly. Their relationship isn’t shattered by her line of work, but there’s always tension in the air when she goes to deliver part of her paycheck every month. Angela doesn’t talk about her job around them, and they can pretend everything’s okay. She’s fine with that.

Weapons used:
She prefers to use a simple steel combat knife with a black handle. It’s always on her, strapped to a sheath on her ankle. However, on most assignments she uses a sniper rifle, which is stripped of all the bells and whistles excluding the scope. If she knows she’s walking into a potentially shady assignment she’ll take a pistol with her, but it’s seldom used.

Strengths:
Angela is a pretty formidable opponent when it comes to close combat, despite her size. She could take on at most two people with relative difficulty; three people are a stretch. She’s a good enough shot to only miss on rare occasions, and out of necessity, she doesn’t require a spotter. For Ang, it’s almost as easy as riding a bike. Her size allows her to move around quickly without being detected.

Weaknesses:
Since she’s not extremely tall, Ang has a disadvantage when it comes to close combat. She’s light on her feet and can pack a powerful punch or kick, but it’s more a matter of if the hit will land in the first place. When she’s angry, Angela’s not nearly as accurate or efficient; most times when she was beaten in a match the opponent was either taller than her or had taunted her into a blinding rage.

Loyalties:
Only to the people she considers precious, like her family and some friends. Other than that, she has no qualms about backstabbing for her own gain.

Name: Verité de Merteuil

Age: 23

Gender: Female

Appearance: Stands at relatively average height of 5'6. Pale skinned, with a fair and unblemished complexion augmented with make-up. She evidently takes a lot of pride in her appearance, and at any time in public appears generally immaculate. She possesses green eye flecked with yellow in the centre, and blonde hair that is often worn in a variety of elaborate styles atop her head. Usually favours less practical clothing - large dresses, parasols on sunny days, vast amounts of jewellery and other finery, especially at important events. Her general thinness and girlish complexion usually mark her out as weak and not entirely intimidating amongst a crowd, a fact that she uses to her express advantage when dealing with less delicate matters. Those who see her when she is working in a more violent setting would hardly recognise her without her assorted finery. Her face has soft, delicate and extremely (stereotypically) pretty features.

Personality: Verité's most noticeable personality attribute are her fine manners. She maintains an air of decorum no matter what business she goes about when in her day to day life. This is usually a pleasant trait, however in less formal situations it can lead to her appearing aloof, snobbish or archaic in her mannerisms. Publicly, she is not quick to anger and is generally soft spoken, calm and thoughtful. Privately however, she can manipulate her personality to suit the situation that she is in - especially when it comes to matters of work. Her adaptability in this regard has been helpful to her throughout her career as an assassin, allowing her to blend in amongst the most upper classes and the lower classes of society.

General History: Verité de Merteuil was born Veronica Simpkin in one of the most deprived areas of the big city. Her mother was a prostitute, and she never knew her father. For the first fifteen years of her life she eked out a meagre existence, attempting to gather enough food to last her through the week and enough money to afford herself a half-decent education. When her mother died, Veronica took to the street-walker life herself in order to fund her life. Encounters with the elite of society allowed her to elevate her status, but also harboured a fledgling hatred for the establishment in the young girl. She abandoned the life of the courtesan for that of the assassin sometime later, upon the realisation that her involvement with members of the elite had given her a prime opportunity to attack those with the most protection at their weakest. Surprisingly, killing came easy to her - perhaps a remnant of her time at the bottom of society. Since then, she has acquired a vast personal wealth eliminating some of society's most deplorable men. Or working for them.

Weapons Used: Poison is the most common weapon, mixed into a glass of wine or a cocktail. She is also fond of small, stiletto daggers and garrotting with a thin piece of silk that she keeps as a garter around her leg.

Strengths: Knowledge of poison, innocuous appearance, relations with the elite of society.

Weaknesses: Physical weakness, lack of training with guns.

Loyalties (if any): Verité's only allegiance - thus far - is to herself, and to the accumulation of wealth and status that she has begun to crave.

It's the same with Gregori and Xavier. They're almost opposites, I think.
Speaking of Xavier I need to give him a last name.

They help keep things interesting, in my experience.

Nice post ^~^
Hidden 11 yrs ago Post by Rock Killjoy

Rock Killjoy

Member Seen 9 yrs ago

(Well I hope this isn't to graphic and I take my character very seriously)

Character sheet
Name: Rock (Rebecca) Killjoy

Age:21

Gender:Female

Appearance: Rock stands at around 5'11 and is a muscular but still curvy woman,she has well toned muscles which is what most if not all of her body fat consists of.Rock has black hair she keeps back in a pony tail most of the time,when not in said pony tail it comes down to her shoulders.Her eyes are an amber goldish tone her skin is tanned slightly she has tattoos across both arms one arm is simply twisting tribal tattoos.While the other one is skulls and guns along with her name.She wears a sleeveless bullet proof vest most of the time with a black half top under it.The vest isn't overly heavy to her as she's worn it for some time,it isn't even truly bullet proof unless it's a a low caliber bullet.She more likes the style of the vest and usually wears it open like a jacket anyways.She wears mostly black men's cargo jeans with pockets down the sides,as well as black fingerless gloves that also leave her knuckles exposed.

Personality: Rock is very competitive, easily bored, and extremely ill-tempered. she is undiplomatic, believing in the use of brute force and coercion to get her way. In contrast to this, she's highly ticklish.

Rock uses heavy amounts of foul language. She also takes maniacal glee in killing anyone and everyone.

She also has very little remorse for her enemies and many times have often stepped on male enemies' crotches for fun to show them how weak they are. However, she looks at it as doing them a favor as she believes any man would love a sexy women such as her to "abuse" them.

Due to an impoverished upbringing which involved verbal, physical and sexual abuse from those who had power over her (such as her father or the police), Rock has developed an obsession towards power, over both herself and others, which causes her to appear fiercely independent and violently assertive, often using verbal or physical abuse as a response to anyone who crosses her or to assert her dominance. However, while she appears to be tough, savage and strong-minded, her exterior actually covers up a profound lack of inner-strength and fear of the powerlessness she felt as a child. Her independence is actually more of a reactive attachment disorder, alienating others as much as possible to prevent the exposure of her own weakness and vulnerability. Rock believes the chief source of power in life is money, the "one thing everyone respects and agrees on", and consequentially has developed an obsession with maximising the profits from each job as much as possible, such as ransoming others and looting corpses.

She also has a particular distain for being treated like a 'lady' and will lash out quite aggressively at people who take her as helpless or as a damsel.She dislikes authority and as she likes to say 'normal' people or 'those rich fat bastards that are sitting under palm trees'.

Likes:Money,Guns,Explosions,Power,Killing,
Drinking,Smoking

Dislikes:Emotions,Love,Religion,Weak people,
Soft hearted,Sexual talk,Receiving pity,Mercy

General History never talks about her past as she doesn't want to think about it, she will bite someone's head off if they try to ask her about it,telling them usually 'to mind their own fucking business" usually followed by some kind of death threat. Rock, is a Chinese-American born and raised in Chinatown, Manhattan,.Her father was a severe alcoholic who was highly abusive, in one instance smashing a bottle into Rock's face. One day, having been chased out of the house by her father's violence, Rock sits crying on the sidewalk when a policeman pulls over and arrests her for no reason. Once in the cell, the sadistic officer brutally beats and rapes Rock.What finally pushed Rock over the edge, is when she explains what happened to her father and he simply tells her to get him another drink. She eventually shot her father at point blank range. She places a pillow over his head to suppress the noise, or to perhaps avoid looking at her first victim.

There are apparently other occasions when the police had abusively exploited their authority over Rock the cops once beat the hell out of her for no reason at all, which completely broke her faith in God, which she had previously clung to in desperation. Rock always believed that the police abused her because to them she was "just another little ghetto rat, with no power and no God."

Weapons Used: guns of all kinds But Her weapons of choice are a pair of modified Beretta 92F's; which are made out of stainless steel and had their barrels extended from 4.9" to 5.9" each (the 5.9" is the combat MOD barrel) and are also adapted for silencers. They are engraved with "Dance fucker dance" on both sides, as well as the Jolly Roger of the infamous pirate Calico Jack (which is also inlaid into the ivory grips)Rock is ambidextrous and can accurately use two guns at once with ease.

Strengths:Lock-picking,Hot wiring,Explosives,Masterful in firearms,Hand to hand combat.

Weaknesses:Bladed weapons,Stealth,her temper,Impatience unless she is waiting to kill a person,Doesn't work well with others unless she likes them

Loyalties (if any): while rock sees money as her 'God' she won't under cut those she likes for money seeing that as 'utter bull shit and cowardly' Her main affiliation is to herself and those few she sees as friends.

Nice first posts, everyone! This is coming along nicely :)

Rock Killjoy and KurtyKool - To be fair, I'll wait until KurtyKool finishes Grojan's CS and then decide who's accepted or not, since this isn't just on a first-come, first-served basis. No need to rush, though.
