Yep, everyone's approved.I put us in New York so that we'd have a real world reference for the office. Other than a few references to locations, don't expect me to know much about it, as I've never been there.

YAY!! Well I shall just say 'hello fellow BPI role-players it is nice to meet you all. I am Luminance but you can call me Lume or Lumin' :)
Oh and I too don't know much about New York since I am in the land of Australia

Unfortunately I have to go to work but I will have a post up when I return, if we(Car,Tach,myself) have started by then. Bye, bye!

[TheUnknowable]

After one of you three post I'll give you your mission.

Lurk lurk lurk lurk lurk... <_<

If you're still accepting players, I'd like to make a character. Just a couple of questions before I do. I want to make a character who was killed in a voodoo ritual which made him rise from the dead some time later, and his powers essentially fall under being unable to feel any pain and being immortal to conventional attacks (save for decapitation or head trauma, though he is more tolerant of the latter than normal humans). The drawback is, though he cannot feel pain, his physical body will still experience the limitations of injuries like any normal human. For example, if he twists his ankle, since he doesn't feel it, he'll probably fuck it up even more by running or something like that. Just wanted to ask if A. that's too OP, and B. if that would count as a human power or a new species entirely.

[TheUnknowable]

Well, you'd still be human, but do you bleed? If you take a round to the chest, would you drown on your own blood, or at least lose consciousness?
There's actually a medical condition where the person doesn't fill pain. The drawback is that they have to inspect themselves for injuries, because they can be bleeding to death or have broke limbs and wouldn't feel it.
Sounds to me like you're half zombie, like the resurrection only partly worked, probably because it wasn't supposed to resurrect you in the first place..

[TheMadAsshatter]

I haven't given too much thought into the technicalities, but I would say that his heart and lungs don't really work, but he does still have blood, and any blood that he looses should be transfused. He won't die from loss of blood, but his muscles will atrophy and his brain start to die if he doesn't have blood for a prolonged period of time.

I'm still thinking through the logistics of it, but the basics are that he cannot feel pain and, aside from brain damage or decapitation, is essentially immune to death by means that aren't supernatural.

[TheUnknowable]

Hmm. Without heart and lung function, you'd have to burn magical energy constantly to keep "living". High functioning Zombie, maybe? Or you could just be the mystery man at the Bureau. Whatever. Feel free to post your CS. Sounds interesting.

[TheMadAsshatter]

In the works. Will edit this post once it's finished.

I guess we'll have to do our mission for a while.

I can get something up tomorrow to start the rest of us off. I have an exam in two weeks that I'm focusing on but I can whip something together during my study breaks.

Maybe someone should contact Tachyon and Luminance..
Their profile pages seems to be active...

Don't worry, my app is nearly entirely done.
I decided I didn't like it, so I scratched the bio for something smaller.

[Luminance]

I am still here! I just thought it would be nice If I waited until TheMadAsshatter posted a cs in case you wanted to split us all into three groups of two. But if not then I shall get a post up in the next few hours.

[TachyonBlade]

Actually, I think I'll withdraw from this RP.
I'm very dissatisfied with my character and character concept.......

We're still extremely early in it. You could always make different character. And replace yours, as you haven't even posted yet.

[Cryptiic]

Please don't let this die... D:

[carsgovroom]

Oh damn I didn't realize that Unknowable edited the second mission onto the last post.
Now I have inspiration and will for sure get a post up today~ This weekend was tough for me.

[TheUnknowable]

Who all's still in? I'll fix my last post to only reference those people.

[carsgovroom]

I'm still all in and have half a post written. Currently I'm experiencing a power outage (I have the worst luck) so I can't finish up till it's over/after you make edits to your post.
