You could always just add above the picture that they aren't relevant. That's what I do when a picture is more than I want.

I'm half-sure that everyone does that, but I guess that just means that it's solid advice.

Alexander Biermann

"Elementary, my dear Watson."

Name: Alexander Biermann

Appearance: Biermann may wear more of a trench coat and perhaps a scarf.


Age: 49

Sex: Male

Strengths - Deductive reasoning skills. He’s more skilled than your average detective and sees through most things, he second guesses almost everything that is presented to him. He’s good with a pistole. He also has skill in bugging a home or building which is to say that he can pick a lock and is good at infiltrating.

Weaknesses - Patience. He has almost no patience in a combat sceneario and will likely run into action without thinking first if he is close by, however if he is far away from a conflict then he usually thinks over his next move.

Biography/Personality: Biermann is a private detective, he keeps most of his history a secret. Though he casually tells people he meets that he’s half German. As for personality: Biermann would risk his life for an ally, however he would do nothing that would cost him his life - he would not take a bullet for anyone. He would, however, infiltrate a building to rescue someone assuming that they've been captured. He usually gets along with people that he’s around, even if they annoy him greatly. He will not hesitate to take a life. If someone discovers him, he doesn't attempt to hide by denying it, but rather, he openly admits to being discovered in an attemp to bide time in order to find an escape.(It's a little jumbled).

Specialized Skills: I’ll rate his skills on a scale of ten.

Deductive reasoning - 6/10 (assuming that most people are a 1-2/10)

Handgun usage - 7.5/10

Infiltration - 8/10

Thank you all for your patience I will be working on the first IC post today. To those whom I have not yet gotten back to: I haven't forgotten about you and you'll be hearing from me shortly.

I can't wait! Though I'll probably end up waiting for someone else to post first

You could always get Photoshop off the Jolly Roger. That would cut down expense.

Brief Biography:

Javier, born and raised in Miami has always had a intrest for the PD. Javier enrolled in 2008, in the Miami PD. He did his basic cop training and managed to pass on the first try. During his Constable years, he didn’t really have anything to big to talk about. Besides from a fast car chase to a robber running away, nothing really was “eye-opening”

Things changed, when Javier was promoted to Detective in the Miami PD, His first case, Double OD of a couple near to the beach, pretty easy at the sound of it huh? Well not really… The thing was during the investigation there wasn’t any cocaine or nothing. Not only that, but background checks revealed that both of the victums weren’t avid cocaine doers. Nothing fit in, until a probable cause suggested by Javier, Tainted Cocaine. Turns out, the assumption worked out, the pair did a line of cocaine at a nearby club which was apart of a witness interview. The cocaine was offered by a Spanish Male, who turns out was a member of a small time hustling group inside of the city.
With the Cocaine case in his back pocket, Javier recommended that he be given a spot on the Vice Sqaud, after a few months of waiting he managed to get a spot into Vice Sqaud. Since then, Javier has completed 5 Cases, solved 3 Cold Cases and brought down 2 Street Level Gangs and a branch of a Mexican Cartel that operated in Miami.

Special Skills:

Marksmen – Javier could hit a target from a mile away – Sgt. Miller
Great Driver – The way Javier drives reminds me of one of those street racers drifting, so quick and easily.. – Lt. Gibson
Resourceful – Javier tends to be resourceful when solving investigations, even if it’s a cold case – Chief Williams
Vice Specialty – Vice is where Javier Excels, his bread and butter you could call it heh’ – Lt. Castro

Elementary, my dear Watson

[Melkor]

Well then, Alex Biermann(my character), is the oldest of all of the characters so far.

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

And we're off and running!

The two missing characters mentioned IC refer to the two characters I have yet to finish testing, but I anticipate that they will be joining us.

For reference, here's a quick layout of the facility:

Your New Home

The Minneapolis location is a mirror-sided high rise located in the downtown area among the other office buildings. Of the 44 floors, 1-5 consist of administration and offices and 6-7 are board, meeting, and presentation rooms. 8 is the center of security and only security staff are allowed to use that floor, the elevator requires a special key to let you off there. Floor 9 consists entirely of a traditional library and outfitted with computers to access the digital library database, it's a nice quiet comfortable place to research or read up on any subject, some publications are available in multiple languages. Floors 10 & 11 are records, 12-16 are laboratories. 17-19 is a medical ward/clinic and pharmacy, employees must refer to BUC appointed physicians for all medical needs from the time they enter into employment to the time that they resign or are fired.

Floor 20/21 can be called the center of operations, it is where the members of the BUC will meet to work together and is fully equipped for all their needs. It's technically two floors but most of it is open with a high ceiling with a viewing platform and lounge above. Again only a few authorized individuals (this would be all of you) are permitted onto this floor.

22 is a kitchen, cafeteria, and cafe. Although the living arrangements are rather independent (more on that in a bit) the staff are free to purchase meals and/or snacks during certain times of day. Vending machines are available at all hours.

23-33 are employee apartments, the majority of which are one bedroom, one living room, a bathroom and kitchen, and a personal den/office. They are all furnished and very spacious.

34 to the roof, while it maintains the appearance of floors from the outside, is a helicopter hangar and landing pad as well as storage of special field equipment and a weapon locker.

There are 3 sub-level floors storing emergency equipment and laundry facilities.

Feel free to post at any time.

Any questions or concerns, just ask here or shoot me a PM.

I think it's funny that the oldest and youngest characters are both named Alex.

[Jig]

Do we now have three Alexes?

[Sovi3t]

Disregard

It's just the two.

[Sovi3t]

I am tempted to write a short intro post, but I want to make it long..is a short post permitted for the sake of the plot preceding?

[Raxacoricofallapatorius]

As long or short as you think is necessary, like I said in the OP it's quality over quantity, and if you can express what you want to in three paragraphs by all means don't feel obligated to write a wall of text. If you do want to add more though, feel free to "explore" your new living quarters or talk about the trip thus far, etc.

[Polyphemus]

Word of warning, folks- I've been called on an unexpected business trip over the weekend, so might be a little while until I can get something up.

[Jig]

It looks like Melkor's up first.

[Melkor]

I should have a post up today, I'm a little busy in the morning but I've started on it.
