Everything except for that right leg holster with whatever's inside it(probably some gun).


Description:
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 197 lbs
Hair Color: Dark Brown
Eye Color: Hazel
Attire: His tipical outfit usually contains a pair of blue jeans, black leather boots, sometimes replaced by a pair of black canvas shoes, black studded fingerless gloves, a dark grey hoodie, and most of the time, a brown leather jacket with studded elbows(the picture shows mostly everything).

Name // Moniker - Victor Wilson aka. Redline

Race: Human

Age: 31

Archetype // Expertise - Driver

Skills: Victor is an insanely good driver. Not because he says so, but because his skills have been praised by those who took advantage of them. He is also a very good mechanic, he can customize or repair anything that has four wheels, an engine and a steering wheel. He also happens to be very good at lying, acting and pretending that he's someone he is not, even his own partners don't know what to make of him sometimes.

Attributes:
- Professional(only when he's working);
- Easy going.

Equipment: Since he's a driver, Victor dosen't really need to carry too much stuff with him. What he will carry most of the time though is a seatbelt cutter/window breaker tool, just in case things get hairy and he needs to get out of the car quick and a single action OTF knife usually for self defense, however this one stays well hidden so he won't be caught with it. He also wants to get his hands on something more serious, like a handgun, but he saves that one for a later date. Right now he dosen't really need one. But probably the most important piece of equipment is his car, which really depends on the mission and the number of people he transports. Sometimes it can be a van, sometimes a large pickup truck, 4x4 or not. The most frequently used car is a grey with black stripes Dodge Challenger SRT, a mean and powerful muscle car which has all the right credentials for a fast escape, plus Victor is really in love with this car, sometimes even using it for daily driving, which is always kind of risky but Victor is not worried much as he has a lot of spare license plates for it.

Background: Born in the family of a two time NASCAR champion it was obvious that the young Victor will follow the same road as his father. As a teenager he went through all the training and formalities to become a racer himself one day, with many people saying that if he will keep up the hard work he will have an illustrious career waiting for him. However a horrible crash during a race in which his father lost his life made him give up his desire to ever become a racer, much to the shock of everyone. Even his own family and friends didn't know what to make of his decision. They thought that it was something temporary, caused by the grief of losing his father, but as the weeks and months passed it seemed that Victor's decision was very much real. Many tried to get him back on track but failed. Victor concentrated on his studies, did a couple of side jobs to pay his college and tried to move on with his life.

Eventually after college he found a more stable job, managing a car shop. A couple of years later(when he was 26), he discovered that his mother, with whom he hadn't talked with or seen in about 4 years, died leaving a lot of debts behind her. Debts which, Victor, as her son, had to pay now. However that proved extremely difficult as his salary from the car shop wasn't enough. Friends and family tried to help but still, he needed more money. Desperate he went to The Circuit to offer his services as a wheelman. Not long after that, a couple of hours later he was contacted by someone for a job. And that's how Victor Wilson quickly became one of the most requested wheelmen in The Circuit. He is the reason why most drug dealers and pimps haven't run out of business yet. Victor kept them alive by transporting goods. In the end, Victor managed to pay most of his mother's debts, he also took over the car shop after the owner died of cancer.

Lately he's been getting a lot of unwanted attention because of his relationship with famous actress, Rebecca James. Because of that their relationship is permanently in an unhealthy on and off status. Victor is pretty frustrated about that and hates the media for interfering in his personal life, almost lashing out at some reporters once.


Dear lord nascar and actresses approved yes take my money!

No but it's pretty cool all jokes aside xD

Approved!

To clarify, I'm going to wait to do an introductory IC post until I get roughly 4 characters approved for the sake of getting things on the roll sooner, so if you guys feel pressured or rushed...well...don't! I want to promote patience and collaboration.

Any of you guys have ideas for skills a marksman might have? I'm turning up a blank after 'Shooting a gun' and 'Parkour/free running'.

military training or body guard training is a lot more than just shooting a gun.

If they were someone who worked in that position, they would be hyper aware of their surroundings.

Ex-cops would know the way the law works.

Vets would know hand-to-hand, and how to survive in firefights.

Bodyguards know crowd control.

Longtime crooks would be able to read a situation.

I haven't read your CS, just throwing out potential skilz they would gather.

Well, a marksman or sharpshooter is someone skilled at precision shooting using projectile weapons, typically a rifle, to shoot at long range targets. In the military for example, marksmen are part of a fireteam or squad, where they take accurate long-range shots at valuable targets(usually non human, unlike snipers), thus extending the reach of the fireteam. The main difference between marksmen and snipers, because some people have the tendency to confuse them and think they are the same thing, is that marksmen are considered an organic part of a fireteam of soldiers, while snipers tend to work alone or with an observer, or sometimes even with other snipers.

Now with that being said...regarding your character, I don't know what character you want to make. If he's an ex-military you can just add military training as one of his skills because that pretty much covers everything regarding combat, weapons knowledge and usage, hand-to-hand combat, close-quarters combat, tactics, strategy, physical training, and so on. As for the other two skill options you can add whatever you want, it dosen't have to be something regarding combat, because you already have military training which makes you a dangerous person right from the start.

On the other hand, if your character was not in the military you can just add weapons knowledge, marksmanship, and for the 3rd, your choice, it dosen't have to be something regarding combat, but you'll have to motvate in the bio how you got those first 2 skills without having military training.

I hope what I wrote was helpful! :)

Our cracker expert and ace driver are as of now online and approved.

my OOC dialogue has been a bit stemmed due to schooling but I'm not kept away or going to disappear any time soon. I like what I'm seeing so far.

K4B00M, John Doe, Redline.

huh. we have a marksman under way as well, which I look forward to seeing.

So that's a Hacker, a Con Man, a Driver, a Marksman/Sniper/Gunner

A bit of a spread group, admittedly, but I'm sure we can make things work out beautifully for poor Polis here.

If worse comes to worst, I might have to employ a [gasp] DMPC to get things going a little smoothly in the beginning, but generally speaking I can make anything you guys dish out work well at this point without me really intruding much.

John is like a charismatic thief.

I did mention that he can pick locks, and is decent with sleights of hand.

Polis is so going to get it's ass kicked.

charismatic thief rather than conman, distinction noted. Phoenix keeps note of all things mentioned and all things recorded on character sheets [whenever possible], so do fear the watchful eyes of your benevolent rule- I mean somewhat mediocre companion

At this point, as a general consensus type of thing, if people are wanting to get started with some IC I can definitely set up an intro post and let you guys begin things. I was originally waiting for the full party to set up, but to keep things from stagnating if you guys want to go ahead and start up, or just want additional IC info and whatnot, just ask.

If everyone's wanting to do something, I'll do it in the IC section. If it's just individual things or questions, I'll likely be able to settle it with a PM so that you can all feel special about knowing what you know.

I'd say that we get started.

Nothing draws the crowds like a fresh Rp that's just starting out.

I'd like to to reserve a substitute spot. Though if a spot does come up later rather than soon I'll probably be too busy IRL. Also, do I smell a Netrunner/Shadowrunner influence? :O

@Aurrorian

Feel free to go ahead and make up a character. Seeing as only three are at present approved, we're a little short of my quota. I won't turn away interested people. And yes you smell the putrid stink of megacorporations and dragon taint everywhere. Shadowrun is a key influence.

@Phaesaris

I'll get that info to you ASAP

@Sypherkhode822

Give me a few hours to work out some stress and anger, tonight had me dealing with one too many inconsistencies. I'll try to have it up before I head to sleep for the night.
-Edit-
I passed out pretty hardcore in the middle of typing, oops.

My weekends are hell between my D&D Sundays and volatile familial life [of inconsistent timing/planning]
