[OOC] ParaCom: Declassified

[Ubermensch]

The CS itself is as follows.

Name:

Country of origin:

Specialty/Class:
Normal classes----
*Assault (Close Quarters Battle, with shotguns, assault rifles, submachine guns, etc.)

*Sniper (Long Distance Fighting with sniper rifles and marksmanship)

*Support (Combat Medic to keep the team alive, using assault rifles, PDWs--Personal Defense Weapons, etc.)

*Heavy (Large Weapons such as machine guns as well as Explosives)

Transhuman classes - Splice Soldiers (Genetically Modified Operatives) and WREC (Weaponized Robotic Exoskeleton Chassis) troopers.

Magic testing is based on RNG though. Lower than fifty means nothing. 50+ is magic positive

Appearance: (Description or picture, though a picture says a thousand words.)

Bio: (At least a paragraph's worth.)

Personality: (Like bio, at least a paragraph's worth.)

NOTE: The Transhuman classes aren't available for magic testing for balance. Think of their progression as linear compared to the quadratic normal classes. Splice Soldiers are a jack of all trades but a master of none when it comes to the weapons. Their genetic mods do most of the action for them. WRECs aren't small at all. They look similar to this. Mini-mecha sized for the suits themselves. Also I have a list of genetic modifications here.

Specifics:

The RP takes place in 2025, a few years after the First Paranormal War from 2020-2022. A Pyrrhic victory was achieved against the invaders, the Infernal Empire. Now the organization ParaCom (Paranormal Combat) will have to seal a power vacuum and wipe out any remaining threats. This will involve a lot of covert operations. The operatives will have most of the action as the science and engineering teams have discovered all that is needed for the project. It's up to the troops on the ground to do the rest. Keep in mind that we're playing as human characters for the sake of plot and game integration.

Story and history:

December 31st, Year 2020 was the start of the war between the normal and the paranormal. Just as the Western world was celebrating the eve of the New Year, they attacked. During Times Square's annual ball drop and while shouts of “Happy New Year” echoed the area, the attacks commenced! The civilians of New York City were absolutely in shock and awe, due to the holiday letting the guard down. Unbeknownst to the supernatural forces, humanity would retaliate after a reeling assault. The armed forces across the world defended their nations from the attacks happening across the globe. However, despite dealing some damage to the enemy forces, they kept coming. Not even nuclear weapons stopped the otherworldly enemies in their tracks.

After grueling defeats in the name of species preservation, the UN realized that alone the nations cannot stop the threat. On August 1st, 2021, humanity formed a new line of defense. The elite, multinational, paramilitary team known as ParaCom was formed to act as the specialized line of defense against this threat. Thanks to heavy investments from the UN and all monetary sources, ParaCom has access to the top notch technology, science, engineers, and soldiers. The fate of mankind rested in their hands.

After fighting back and reverse engineering enemy technology, the war was brought to a halt on July 1st, 2022. However, though they have won the war, humanity found out, one year later, that a paranormal civil war broke out. Several factions were created out of the Infernal Empire. The Imperials that want to restore the previous rule, the Loyalists who want a senate-led republic and thus keep the current paranormal regime, and the Anarchs, who wish to overthrow both and install a meritocracy. Splinter factions, derogatorily called Antitribu, also formed out of the chaos. Now it is up to ParaCom to prevent another war by cleaning up the mess on the other side.

@ClocktowerEchos:Great character actually. As for magic, you got a 69. Consider your support a magic capable woman. Welcome to ParaCom.

EDIT: If you like, place your CS on the characters tab for better streamlining.

[ClocktowerEchos]

What a lucky number XD

Anyways, what would magic entail? Stuff you'd see in RPG like fireball/heal/enchant or basically reskins of the Psi powers of XCOM?

@ClocktowerEchos

Psi reskins was the intent for the "normal" or base powers, but I'm thinking of giving more powers as ParaCom got more understanding of magic during the years after the war. Faust, the Infernal Empress, was able to shoot lighting from her fingertips not unlike Palpatine. So yes, one idea is to give them more fantastical powers as they get stronger.

@Queen Tomato

@Ubermensch Yeah, probably wouldn't be a bad idea to ping those who expressed interest. Also I'll be working on my CS today :)

[Twhirtley]

Um, am I totally missing like... any sort of plot notes or anything? I like getting into RPs that are just starting, but all I see are character sheets here.

@DemonTongue Thanks!

Name: Beatrix "Trix" Longfellow

Country of origin: England

Specialty/Class: Explosives and Mechanical Engineering w/ magic roll

Appearance:

Beatrix is fairly short and lithe, usually keeping her auburn hair pulled back in a ponytail. She doesn't bother with make up or trying to look pretty. Most of her clothing is tight and form fitting, since she often finds herself in tight places for repairs or placing bombs.

Bio: Beatrix was always incredibly shy and awkward in her younger school days, but always excelled in mathematics. She was often found tinkering with her family's various appliances and vehicles and improving them, or making something entirely new. Her family moved to America to give her better options for schooling. She was readily accepted into the Air Force Academy to pursue a degree in Mechanical Engineering. While she never showed any aptitude in leadership, she rose above in beyond in all her Engineering courses.

When the war began, her and the other engineering students were put to work developing and building new weapons and gear. This was when she discovered that she especially loved working with explosives. With the war over, they'd been tasked with researching and reverse engineering all of the leftover gear from the invaders, and were making incredible progress.

Trix never bothered to finish her courses, but still received her degree after proving her merits during the war. She was working with the teams researching the Infernal gear, when she was contacted by Paracom, to join their team with a more hands on approach. It was a simple choice for her.

Personality: She's fairly shy around new people, and socially awkward at the best of times. She's prone to severe crushes, on men or women, but never has the skills or courage to pursue them. Trix is often incredibly independent, but has no problem following orders as well. However, she does not make a good leader, often finding it overly stressful and inducing some panic and paranoia within her.

@Twhirtley: Looks good. Plus you rolled 68. Magic capable too. By the way, your character will technically be considered a heavy.

@Everyone else: Thanks for reminding me. I can be a little absent minded at times when multitasking.

He also had the most luck in the army because he had never been spotted by the enemy.However his luck changed in 2022 when he stepped on a landmine losing his legs and arms. The military didnt want to lose its best sniper so they gave his cybernetic legs and arms.
