Welcome to the Guild! :) P.S.- Water Akira, I love your avatar. Kingdom Hearts rules over a good portion of my life.
Hey, it's been about a week. Do you want me to respond to Jack now, or wait for the others to post?
As Natalia waited for Jack's arrival, she wracked her brain once more for an answer. Rifling through some of the research she had, she found herself wishing she had taken that computer course they had offered at the academy. The Google search bar could really only get her so far. From what she currently had on Korban Teidmann, CEO of Gallagher Industries, there was only a few things about him she could tell for certain. One of which was that the man was incredibly vain. In fact, Teidmann was what one could call image-obsessed. Based on this fact, Natalia knew the perfect con to run. Unfortunately, it was a five-man job. She remembered her undercover days as a white-collar "criminal," wishing for about the thousandth time that day that she could go back, that what had been such a large part of her life wasn't over. Then she would have had backup, and a machine for making government-level fake ID's. Oh, how useful that machine would be now... Of course, there could be no going back. She'd have to find backup by some other means, criminal means, most likely. Natalia knew from past experience that she could count of Jack, but criminals with a desire to help people were hard to come by. So how do you get a bunch of criminals to work together on a job? The answer to that was simple: money. Unfortunately, Natalia didn't happen to have much of that particular substance. Then it hit her. **I don't have money...** she thought. **But Gallagher Industries does.**
Name: Natalia Halden Age: 32 Sex: Female Archetype: Mastermind Personality: Natalia is a control freak. She's comfortable when she's in charge of the situation, and does everything she can to remain that way. Slightly arrogant at times, she has complete faith in herself. Although she knows that she is committing crimes, she still considers herself a good guy. As far as Natalia is concerned, it isn't her fault that the police and their justice system are useless, at least without a little help. She expects trust and obedience from those she works with, and becomes quite annoyed when it isn't given. She has problems (many of which are pride- related), but she refuses to acknowledge them. She hates showing weakness, and will never admit that someone is smarter than her. Fortunately for her, most people aren't. Appearance: Natalia has dark, curly hair and blue eyes. She rarely smiles, unless it's for a cover. Practicality is of far greater importance to her than appearance, and she generally wears professional garb. Standing about 5'8, she isn't generally imposing. However, she is perfectly capable of intimidation. She has a well-built muscular structure due to her training with the FBI. Weapons and Equipment: 9mm handgun, standard police issue Skills: Brilliant Tactician Knowledge of Police Procedure Undercover Experience Weaknesses: Extreme Distrust of Police Minimal Computer Skills (She can use Google, that's about it.) Over-Confidence Obsessed With Control History: Natalia was a cop. One of the best, in fact. She worked with the FBI for 6 years as a field agent, and at some point was assigned to hunt down most of her current team members. She was a highly respected member of the force. That is, until her partner was shot. She searched for the shooter for nearly a year, but to no avail. Her success in the past contrasted with her failure in this case not only messed with her head, but made those around her suspicious. The fact that they had both been in line for the same promotion did not help her case. Natalia was accused of murder. Still, she believed in the justice system. There was no concrete evidence against her, mainly because she hadn't done it. When the trial came, however, the prosecution had fabricated all kinds of evidence. They said that her gun matched his wounds, that they had been arguing before heading out on the mission. None of this was true. Her own lawyer did just as much lying to combat it. While she was eventually acquitted, the whole process disgusted her. The system had let her down. It was then that Natalia began looking into other cases, solved and unsolved. The more she saw, the more horrified she became. Rich people got away with murder in exchange for information. Smuggling rings were discovered but never broken down. This agency that she had been a proud part of for so long was useless. She even found evidence that suggested her partner had found corruption within the agency itself. That was why he had been killed, and she had been framed. Revolted by the people she had once trusted with her life, she resigned. She would never trust her government again. So she lost herself in misery and confusion, desperately trying to regain control of everything, her own life included. She waited for some way to make up for the corruption of the system, some way to actually help people.
I was just going to slip a location in as it became relevant. Is there a specific place you want to be?
It's up. I posted it under Casual Roleplays and it's called The (Sort Of) Good Guys. My sincerest apologies for the delay. I've been bed-ridden with a fever for the past week, and according to my parents "If you're too sick to go out, you're too sick to play video games." I tried explaining to them that a) this isn't video games and b) that doesn't even make sense, but to no avail :(
Natalia Halden stared blankly at the bottom of her empty glass. It was the fifth one she had drained that day, yet the alcohol had done nothing to stimulate her brain. A thousand plans ran through her head, but none showed themselves to be effective for the job at hand. She set the glass down in front of her and took out her cell phone. Flipping it open to the "Contacts" screen, her eyes scanned the page. This simple action revealed what she had long before determined to be the main source of her problems. Gallagher Industries, her current target, was what one would call... evil beyond all reason. These guys had no morals. They lied stole, and bribed their way to the top of the markets. And they certainly didn't care about who they stepped on to get there. That was Natalia's job. She fought for the trampled. Unfortunately, taking on Gallagher wasn't exactly a one-man job. She had a thief on call, but aside from him her contacts gave little promise. It wasn't like she could call any of her buddies from the agency, her work not being legal. Besides, it would be a long time before she trusted them again. At this point, it looked like she'd have to go recruiting. Still, fist things first, she'd have to inform the team she already had. She scrolled down in her contacts list until she came upon the name she was looking for. _ "Hey Jack,"_ she spoke into the phone as it stopped ringing, _"We've got a job to do."_
Sorry guys, but I have a huge paper due at school tomorrow. I'll try to finish the IC, but it may take an extra day...
I'm working on it as we speak. I should have it up by tomorrow.
So, who is starting out already with the team? I know Puppy and Jack had how they joined the team in their Bios. I was thinking either that Natalia and a few of them already had the team and recruited the rest of them for a job, or the criminals were trying to help someone as a team but their history of working alone meant it wouldn't work out without Nate (I mean Natalia) guiding (forcing) them to learn to work together. So she would have to come in. (Sort of like the Pilot Episode, except the criminals would already know each other)

These are only suggestions though. Let me know what you guys want to do ^_^
