Land of the Free

Approved Midori.

Anyone ready to nut up and post, feel free to do so.

ETA: I know from past experience with this set up that if we all post at once, it basically causes a clog of intro's at the door. So lets try to work together a bit and make things run smoothly. I don't mind if one or two people show up at the same time. But if we get four or five... well it would be kind of suspicious and I'm sure it would draw peace officer attention.

Land of the Free

Sorry, what I'm trying to get at is that I don't want interactions to be wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am. I would like for the characters to interact, even at the home base, rather than playing it like a videogame and making things just happen offscreen. Once the whole group is gathered, we'll all have a little conversation about who's who, and then we'll get on to business.

Land of the Free

Yeah, that should be fine Midori.

You're kind of jumping the gun guyvolk. You haven't even made an intro so how could you buy equipment from Ink?

Land of the Free

The only problem I see is that her father would be publicly executed the same day he was arrested. There's still a law system and an illusion of receiving a fair trial. I could very VERY easily see the members of the S.W.A.T. killing him and claiming he pulled a gun on them though. That seems to be a really popular defense for police these days IRL.

Land of the Free

I'm diggin' it, Esme. Approved.

Also, I'm seeing a Dexter link between your names. Lol.

Land of the Free

Yeah, the more ready you are in the RP, the easier it is to bring in the next character. So feel free to post.

Your first post needs to tell a little about your character. The same way I did with Grimm in the intro. It showed why he's doing what he's doing.

Land of the Free

Thanks. And that's one of those things that will depend heavily on the job. For instance: In your case, on a simple hold up job, we probably won't need to carry any heavy equipment. So you can just bring the ammo vest and then your Wingman gear if you like. Hopefully when we're on job that require both a Wingman and a Mule, someone else on the crew will be able to fill either role. It's all about collaborating and making sure everyone knows what to do.

Now if we're spread thin, you may have to do your Mule duties, and then switch to Wingman for the rest of the job. Hopefully we'll have enough participants to avoid that kind of situation and it would be entirely optional for you. The equipment you bring can me mix and match for versatility as well. Just hope that you don't leave something behind that we need.

Also, approved.

Land of the Free

That's fine, but just so you know we can have multiple of each role. However, if the next 5 people that join all want to be techs, you have dibs as I wouldn't want us all to be the same class.

The Crew

Mr. Grimm - Shotcaller+Medic

Real Name: Alec Whitaker

Alias: Mr. Grimm

Age: 22

Physical description:

Height: 5’10”
Weight: 177 lbs.

Current Disguise:

Along with his mask, Grimm wears a pair of dark mirrored wraparound sunglasses. His torso is adorned with a black hooded sweatshirt with a gray trim running down each arm and up the zipper. Beneath his sweatshirt he usually wears a black undershirt with his body armor between the two garments. His lower body is covered by a pair of dark blue jeans and a pair of dark gray work boots. His hands are covered by a pair of black work gloves.

Attitude/Personality: Grimm is assertive in what he wants and not ashamed of being so. By essentially emulating his older brother, he takes on leadership qualities as well as a protective nature. With that said anger is a sickness for him these days. He hates law enforcers and the super wealthy. Professionalism is difficult for him at times because of this and he is prone to clearing his throat and shaking off the rage, if only to get back down to business.

Additional Info: Grimm knows Morse code, drinks excessively at times, has a sweet tooth, and is skilled with a balisong.

Primary Class: Shotcaller

Secondary Class: Medic

Mr. Dust

Real Name: Gunther Walsh

Alias: Mr. Dust

Age: 49

Physical description:

Height: 6’0”
Weight: 253 lbs.

Current Disguise: Dust doesn’t wear a disguise like the rest of the crew as he is primarily behind the scenes. Normally he wears a simple but professional ash-gray 3-piece suit with a black tie and black dress shoes. If he absolutely has to get his hands dirty for whatever reason, he wears latex gloves and a plain black balaclava.

Attitude/Personality: Dust is cold, calculating, and professional. His experience gives him a confidence in his knowledge and ability. He is quick to criticize stupidity and foolishness and even faster on the draw when it comes to telling someone how to do their job. If you can get past how commanding and down-to-work he is, he can be cordial and even humorous (albeit dry) at times. He can also get stuck in the past at times, remembering what it was like in his glory days.

Additional Info: Dust is a cigar smoker, loves baseball, and gambles occasionally.

Primary Class: Shotcaller (Retired)

Secondary Class: Wheel (Retired)

Mr. Ink

Real Name: Desmond Wole

Alias: Mr. Ink

Age: 44

Physical description:
Height: 6’ 3”
Weight: 166 lbs.

Current Disguise: Like Dust (being a former member of the same crew as he), Ink goes for the professional look. He wears an all-black three piece suit with no tie. He also wears a pair of thin, form-fitting leather gloves.

Attitude/Personality: Ink has a subtle greed that reflects in most of his conversations. He’s all about money, all the time but not overbearingly so. He doesn’t like to get to know people, and will instead prefer to talk to you about his wares and get the transaction over with.

Additional Info: Little else is known. He likes it that way.

Primary Class: Tech (Retired)

Secondary Class: Enforcer (Retired)

Ms. Night - Cat+Sharpshooter

Real Name: Lin Fo Han

Alias: Ms. Night

Age: 24

Physical description:


Height: 5'5''
Weight: 136 lb.

Current Disguise: She uses an opaque black stocking that she cut to length as a balaclava to cover the lower half of her face. The stocking is sewn in to the collar of her black turtleneck shirt that she wears under a tight leather biker jacket. Simple dark jeans, knee-high motorcycle boots and leather riding gloves with hard-padded knuckles complete her ensemble.

Attitude/Personality: Lin is fiercely independent, everything she does is deliberate and brings her closer to her ultimate goal. She rarely engages in conversation and prefers solitude. Trust is not something she is accustomed to and she lacks empathy for those who commit crimes simply for personal gain. Lin is also surprisingly honest about her intentions and almost always speaks bluntly. Lin has purpose and faith in her own abilities but doesn't work well with others.

Additional Info: Lin is a first generation Chinese-Aleghanian citizen and speaks fluent Mandarin as well as the common tongue. She enjoyed a modest living with her father, a low ranking police officer. He always spoke to her about true justice and warned her of the corruption he had seen in the police force as well as the government. He taught her to defend herself, use firearms, and showed her how to be independent as his work kept him away from home a lot. On her nineteenth birthday SWAT officers stormed their apartment and arrested her father. The last time they spoke was at his trial where he told Lin that justice had left this country and he was being framed. He urged her not to let this go unpunished, to find who had framed him and avenge his death. Two weeks later Lin's father was publicly executed for treason, embezzlement, and drug trafficking.

This was the turning point for Lin. Fueled by her anger and a need for revenge, she set out to find the ones responsible for her father's death. She knew that in order for her to find what she was looking for she had to be discreet, and so she honed her skills as a shadow of the night. She found that she had a talent for stealth and made a name for herself as a thief and assassin, all the while searching for any evidence leading to her father's murderer. Eventually she discovered that a member of the police force had orchestrated her father's arrest and subsequent execution as a scapegoat for someone else in the police force. She has yet to uncover any new information beyond that.

Mr. Fox - Cat+Tech

Real Name: Shin Hinomiya

Alias: Mr. Fox

Age: 29

Physical description:

Height: 6'4'
Weight: 172lbs

Current Disguise: Having stolen a Balaclava from a nearby store and slightly modified it, now only covering the bottom half of Shin's face. Normally seen in slightly faded black jeans, grey t-shirt with slight ripped short sleeves and a plain black zip-up jacket atop that with pockets either side. Also wearing thin white leather gloves on both hands, which were also stolen.

Attitude/Personality: Outwardly seen to others as a calm and level headed person, which Shin is to a degree. He is able to change moods at the drop of a hat so to speak, going from laid back and carefree, to seriously and deadly within a matter of moments. Shin seems to adapt to the situations around him and act accordingly, so in a sense no one seems to know this young man for who he truly is. One thing he does hold however is a horrible temper, once irritated enough or pushed to far he will snap and is know for a few various violent acts in the past when having lost his temper previously.

Additional Info: Shin is a first generation Japanese-Aleghanian citizen and speaks fluent Japanese as well as the native tongue. Born within Kyoto, Japan and having moved to his current residence at the age of eighteen. Shin spent most of his life moving from place to place, living rough on the streets of Kyoto from the ages of five till eleven. Then picked up as an orphan until the age of sixteen. By which point he was taken in by a male and female couple, who worked as undercover agents for various jobs across the world. Travelling to the United Provinces of Aleghany for one said mission was the last job ever taken up by the pair. While left alone in a new place with a whole new language as well, Shin spent those following months watching and reading back on how his 'parents' were trained soon self-teaching himself the very same stealth and battle tactics, proving that he had a certain talent with doing so. Although forbidden to do so by his parents, that soon no longer mattered.

At the age of eighteen after a fairly small risk mission, both his mother and farther were killed, leaving Shin alone once again. This was the turning point for the young male, having followed his parents on that very same mission in secret and then having to watch them die before his eyes. Only angered Shin. However, he wasn't given long to adjust to this new twist in life, those same that killed his parents now after him as well. Sending death threats and letters to him on an almost daily basis, having found that these people just wanted no witnesses of what happened that night. Going into hiding as best he could for the next six years, taking what was left of what his adoptive parents gave him, he trained and trained, both from books, video's and what he had seen the pair do. Finding a small amount of peace as the chaos somewhat died down, Shin had reverted to his old ways of stealing and grabbing what he could to survive. After those six years now twenty six and what it seemed to be a new start, Shin made his money as a freelance mercenary and hacker, having found a decent knack for computing over his six years hidden away from others. Three years later now twenty nine, Shin still stays low away from any law enforcement, but also keeping a firm eye out. Looking for the ones that killed the only people that ever seemed to care about him.

Attitude/Personality: Alex is usually easy to get along with as he is open-minded, likes to help if someone requests him to and he is not impulsive. However he is hateful and holds grudges. He is confident in himself and always tries to be positive. Alex dosen't talk too much, preffering to get straight to the point.

Mr. Swift, Tech+Sharpshooter

Real Name : Matthew Veselý

Alias : Mr. Swift

Age : 24

Physical Description : Matt has short, tightly cropped dark brown hair combed to one side. His eyes are piercing green, and constantly shifting as if looking for some new threat. He is lank and just above average height at 6"2', though not at all imposing as he is of a rather slim build, weighing in at 180 lbs, surprising considering his height. His skin is somewhat pale, and he could be better described as wiry rather than all-out muscular.

Current Disguise : When on heists, he wears a knee-length trench coat with ample pockets and straps on the inside for weaponry and equipment. Underneath this is a thick dark tunic and trousers, along with tall, metal-toed combat boots. His outfit wouldn't be complete without the black leather gloves he wears to conceal finger prints. A pair of rectangular-lensed sunglasses hides his eyes.

Attitude / Personality : He is very cynical and mistrusting of all authority. Most of the time he is seen as quiet and calculating, and is extremely intelligent and analytical. His sense of humour could be described as sarcastic at best. Possessing mild psychopathic traits, he feels little empathy or attachment for others. He is also very anti-social, preferring to be alone rather than in the company of others. With the few, if any, friends he has he can be trustworthy and straightforward. He has little respect for established conventions and would rather do things his own way than follow all orders to the letter.

Additional Info : Though his father was Aleghanian, his mother was Czech and he was brought up bilingual in both tongues. Currently, he has no known living family, and lives alone in a decrepit apartment on the outskirts of the city. He works as a freelance hacker to support himself, and is proficient in multiple programming languages and firewall cracking. The funds come from him 'leaking' corporate information to individuals willing to pay- revelling in the prospect of taking revenge on the plutocracy.
