[OOC] Argus: Olympian Intelligence

@AcerRo
Move the bold code out of the color area and it will work.

[AcerRo]

Damn that was quick enough to make me feel bad about myself.

[Kaalee]

I guess when we expressed interest on the Interest Check it meant nothing?

[Pundii]

@Kaalee
I said considering the interest, I wasn't going to take reservations.
I didn't tell people in the interest check to say what country they wanted, that just sort of happened.
You're more than welcome to still make a CS if you're interested, but i'm sorry if the country you were interested in is taken.

I'm done with my CS!

Greta is no stranger to professionalism and working hard.

Bold and daring, she is dauntless and faces danger head on, which may or may not be classified as a boon or bane.

History:

Born to a middle wealth family in Berlin, the capital city of Germany, Greta lived a pretty standard life, growing up in an apartment in the bustling city district of the lively German city. Her childhood was nothing too exciting or interesting nor was it overly boring, it didn't really stand out from the three-plus-million or so people living in the city. Greta began to develop an interest and passion in dancing, gymnastics and other forms of acrobatics when she was nine. Her parents then began to enroll her into a dancing and gymnastics school not long after.

When it came to matters regarding her academic studies, they were delighted to hear that she excelled in them, doing extremely well, topping the class or remaining among the top five percentile, with a fair share of credit owing to her diligence and dedication. History became to her best subject, as she progressed through the years of her education, it was not surprising to hear that she majored in History, a fond lover of all forms of history, from ancient history to war history. Greta then went on to leave the comfort of her home, travelling from Berlin, Germany to Cambridge, England, to further her studies in the University of Cambridge. Her passion for dancing and acrobatics didn't stop there as she soon got herself involved in the University's dance team.

Unbeknownst to her, Greta was being watched by ARGUS. They had watched as she topped her cohort in her faculty with flying colours, her passion and aptitude for history insatiable. She may thought that she had covered herself well, but for the young and inexperienced young adult, ARGUS simply kept an eye on her as she hacked into government mainframes, bypassing security, searching for details and secrets of the past. No arrest was made, as ARGUS made sure it was so. The girl wasn't doing any damage as the files she dug up were simply files that weren't exactly secrets anymore in this time and age. Greta eventually completed her time in Cambridge and returned home to Berlin. She continued her hacking exploits in between her less illegal activities of dancing and gymnastics, but her luck soon ran out as the Federal Intelligence Service (Bundesnachrichtendienst), did not take too kindly to anyone hacking into their governmental security mainframes.

It was only upon intervention of both ARGUS and that she was not tried in court and put into jail. The secretive organisation then sent a recruiter to her door one day, not less than a month after her return from England. An ultimatum was presented to her, she could either work for ARGUS or face time in jail. Being the sensible sort, Greta picked the only logical option which was to work for ARGUS.

Feel free to chuck her in the Characters with the codename 'Aphrodite'
And feel free to start PMing me or the others regarding relations!

[Oni_]

From what I read I don't think anyone's making a Canadian, so I'll be posting a CS for that soon-ish.

[Pundii]

@Oni_
Actually someone's working on a CS for that i'm afraid - however considering interest i'd be happy to open up another free slot if you're still interested. So, feel free to pick any country that's not on the list :)

Hair:Brown
Skin Tone: Slightly Tanned

Persona

Sexuality:Straight
Personality:
Elijah is a guy, right to his core. Drinking, fighting, fast cars, and hunting is right up his alley. It's handy that he's good at it. When in his element, you'll see few people happier or better than him.
He loves what he does and wouldn't change it for a second.

He has an obsessive personality. People are not often the subject of his obsessions but when something does. It's an itch he has to scratch. When something doesn't sit right with him, he will gnaw on it till it does. It's served him well over years buts it's also hurt him more than a few times.

Elijah isn't the type to wear suits and ties. Jeans and boots are much more his line. The fancy life never really suited him that well. He can play that card if he has too but would much rather avoid it.

Though deep down, and he'd never admit it. He's is a, sweet person who wants to do the right thing and get along with everyone. His thoughts on right and wrong might be different but he really wants to do the right thing. As people get to know him they'll find a person that is slow to anger but will into rage when he gets there.

Whiskey
Fast cars
Working on vehicles
Fighting
Hunting

Dislikes:
Liars and cheats
Bullies
Slow peoole
Being forced to do something
People who can't take a joke.
Fears:
Being burned alived
Jumping out if airplanes
Being underground

History:

Elijah was born in a small town outside of Nashville, Tennessee that no one has ever heard. His parents ran their own business as game hunters and trail guides. His mother left when he was young but still tries to keep in contact.

His parents started taking him into the woods as soon as he could walk. By the time he graduated high school he was already an accomplished tracker. A by product of being born into the lifestyle. If the truth were told he loved it. Stalking animals was unlike anything else in the world,and to be good at it was rare.

He was taught, it was demanded of him from an early age, complete and total self reliance. Food, clothing, first aid, he had to be completely independent. He learned to shoot, hunt, clean and dress animals. Patch himself up when he got hurt and many other skills. He was trained and taught to be a fighter through and through.

Though his family did well, life was still a struggle. His father struggled for years with alcohol addiction and violence. When Eli screwed up, it was a beating, when he broke something, it was a beating. Eli being Eli, he fought back as soon as he able. Though it more or less made things worse. He can still hear his father's footsteps late at night.

The moment he was able he took off and left home and never looked back. Now in Canada, he runs his own business in the same vain as his parents once used to. His hard life as a child has served him to this point in his. Though he has learned he has more than little loved for the bottle.

Relations

At the point of the roleplays beginning, each of the characters will have known eachother for roughly a year which they've spent training together. You should work with the other players to establish what kind of relationships you have with them. It's not required for everyone, but there should be at least 3 relations already on here by the time the RP starts.

Huh, must of missed it. Thanks for opening up another slot though, it's much appreciated.

[Pundii]

@Oni_
No worries, that'll probably be the last slot I open up, too, so welcome! :p

@AcerRo

Looks good, fix the coding on Fears by moving the [/b] to after the [/color] and then you can put it in Characters with 'Heracles' as the codename

Edit: You got to fixing it before I even mentioned it :p

[AcerRo]

WOO.

Feel free to pm me about relationships.

Edit I'm a lethally quick study

[murdoc]

Stuck in class, but I'll be working on a CS for Russia if it's still open. v.v

@murdoc
Don't believe anyone's come in to take Russia yet, so it's still there for you :)

[vFear]

@Pundii

Done! All bar relations anyway, if that's acceptable for marking.

[Pundii]

@vFear

Rucks Kennithson

Rucks Kennithson

{"There are but very few clever enough to know all the mischief they do"- Francois De Le Rochefoucauld}

Character Basics

Name:Rucks Kennithson
Codename:(Will be randomized by GM, leave blank)
Age:21
Birthday:December 3rd
Nationality:Italian
Birth Place:Venice, Italy
Gender:Male
Prior Employment:Artisan Pâtissier

Appearance

Height:6'2"
Weight:12.1Stone
Build:Agile, Thin, Not that much muscle
Eyes:Hazel
Hair:Dirty Blonde, slightly unkempt
Skin Tone: White, slightly on the pale side.
Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: Small scar on his shoulder, almost faded.

Persona

Sexuality:Heterosexual
Personality: Rucks is among the more mischievous of man kind, by no means a complete Maverick but he isn't a saint afraid to break protocol either. Of course, he hasn't had the chance to break protocol yet so that mostly extends to running with scissors. In most stances he likes to play the devils advocate, hoping to stress out his colleagues in order to unleash their maximum potential and it works at least fifty percent of the time. Not everyone is as keen on this behaviours as Rucks is.

On a more personal level he's a nice enough guy, doesn't really like talking about family much but otherwise is open to most discussion and can easily keep his cool, taking most flak under the guise of "respectful banter". He's a heavy drinker however, unsure whether he's actually capable of facing a hangover, or if it's a matter that when he stops the cumulative effects will literally stop his heart. This heavy drinking doesn't usually lead to drunken ramblings unless it's been a really, very hard day.

Long walks on the beach

Dislikes:
Gin
Discussions of Ethics
Less than Excellent Breads and Pastries
Repetitiveness

Fears:

Long term commitment
Being Poisoned

History:
Rucks wasn't born to a rich family, but neither was he born to one that was poor either they were right in the middle. For a long time his entire life was like that - in the middle. Average grades, average looks and average popularity were what shaped his early years, until he found himself his real talent after a lot of trial and error.

Growing up in Venice didn't throw up as many opportunities as one might hope, the city only really bustled during times of tourism, if you weren't in necessities or something incredibly romantic your business may as well go somewhere else, there was little room for the outliers. It didn't stop people trying of course, but no one wants to buy Franks authentic Roman coins when you're in Venice. What they really want is Gondola rides, fresh flowers or a romantic serenade under their balcony.

So as Rucks left his education, he tried to fit in with this, first Gondola rides - fired after he overturned a boat with some newly weds in it. Then flower arranging - it turns out Roses do not go well with Dandelions. Serenading was okay for a while, until he got the names of the recipient confused. The he found his passion, Artisan Patisserie.

But of course this is Italy, you get stories of love and, well of course there are the stories of the mob. Every go and get 'em business owner tended to receive a small loan from the mob at some point, some people also never paid it off. People like Rucks. While his business bloomed, pastries and bread didn't make enough money to pay the loan off, so they sent warnings. Thugs to beat some sense into him, and that's where his life became interesting.

Rucks was handy with a knife from his profession, and since keeping fresh bread was hard work he had one with him nearly all the time to make the next batch up. You can imagine the surprise the Mob received when their thugs returned with severe knife wounds - if they returned at all. And so, Argus' interest was piqued.

This continued for half a year, progressively larger groups of Thugs meant Rucks ended up running around the canals of Venice quite often, leading to the admirable agility that he has today. Of course, this isn't a fairy tale and Rucks cocked it up one day. Running into a back alley with six people cornering him. He fell two before Argus saved his arse, it was faster than anything he's ever seen, as was the letter offering him the job. His ability to hold off those thugs had clearly impressed them. Since then he's completed his own training, leaving behind his old life of bread and pastry.

[The book of bad juju]

I'd love to be a part of this, the premise looks amazing and clever, but it's so hard to start writing a character if you're not sure if that role is going to be filled with someone else by the time you get yours finished.

[Pundii]

@The book of bad juju

Let me know which role you're interested in filling, and i'll hold it until both the apps for it are up, then make my judgment!

Also accepted, feel free to move him to the Characters tab as 'Romulus'
