Agents Of Stardust

I have applied using a CS that is designed to be a fellow agent of Genevieve's - a sniper.

Agents Of Stardust

Basic Information

Character name: Alexandra Ausfeld
Species: Human
Gender: Female
Age: 28

Rough Appearance

Height: 5' 6"
Weight: 10 st 1 lb.

Personality:
Alexandra is a quiet, unassuming person who most would not look twice at. She rarely speaks unless she is specifically spoken to, and when she does, she speaks in short, almost terse sentences, sometimes giving the impression that Alexandra does not want to talk to the person addressing her. When engaging in dialogue with her fellow agents, Alexandra is less shy, and more able to hold a conversation at length with other people. Some would go as far as saying she is positively gregarious compared to her more 'public' persona. She has a tendency to be rather scatterbrained at times - losing the thread of a conversation mid-way through a sentence, for example, or forgetting the passcode to her equipment.

However, in combat, Alexandra is far more focused. Whether looking through the sight of the S-51D or UNISEC-DA/45-IPW/AMR/15, Alexandra, or Vampir as is her 'code name', is a deadly killer who gives no quarter and expects to receive none. A master of the sniper rifle, Alexandra is able to pick off targets with almost-consummate ease, cutting down important targets or individual soldiers with the pull of a trigger. She is calculating, ruthless, and a world away from her 'civilian' personality.

Mission Critical Information

Callsign: Vampir
Position: [CLASSIFIED BY THE E.S.C.] (OOC - Dedicated Marksman)

Equipment:

Mission Equipment:

UNISEC-DA/23-05a/CA - One of the higher end models of carapace armour from UNISEC, the model 05a/CA features advanced integration of the NIM as well as an additional compartment along the spine to allow for socketing of an AI module. The Gauntlet has also been revised in this version to work more efficiently for stand-alone operatives, with the removal of many of the linking features to UNISEC communications and a more universal link-up that allows the agent to tap into local communications and satellite arrays so that they can operate in non-UNISEC territory without support from the fleet. Vampir's armour is outfitted with improved stealth abilities such as thermal masking, active camouflage and smoke generators, as well as stability enhancers, allowing Vampir to fire from standing or crouching with deadly accuracy.

S-51D Sniper Rifle (Not of UNISEC origin) - The S-51D sniper rifle is a model unknown to all but a few in the known galaxy. Utilising advanced scramjet bullet technologies, the S-51D is designed for maximum punch and firepower in a portable rifle design. The S-51D is equipped with an inertial stabiliser to better allow for accurate firing and can fire two models of bullet: the 14.5-TCHP, which is a 14.5mm bullet with a tungsten carbide hollow-point tip to devastate lightly-armoured infantry and soft-skinned vehicles such as trucks or cars, and the 14.5-DUP, another 14.5mm bullet, but with a depleted uranium penetrator designed for heavily-armoured infantry or armoured fighting vehicles. The S-51D is more suited for anti-materiel work, due to its high noise signature and notable tracer effect when firing the scramjet bullet. Vampir's S-51D is outfitted with a standard UNISEC X5 Multi-role scope to provide a variable scope for rifles of varying design. This scope features up to five-times magnification for engagements up to 3,000 meters away, as well as Night-Vision, Infra-Red, Ultra-Violet, and EM vision overlays.

UNISEC-DA/36-IPW/MWS/x03 - The latest version of UNISEC's MWS platform, the x03 is still at it's core the standard MWS/01, firing the 8mm rail-rifle round. However, where it differs is in the adaptability of the platform to adjust more to the types of targets being fired at and changing battlefield conditions. Adding in a new gyroscopic stabilizer to the base platform, the x03 has the ability to provide stable firing from nearly any firing angle with the assistance of the internal computer's adjustments to fire-control. Vampir, unlike Aera Cura, only uses one attachment to her weapon: the SMG barrel. Vampir dislikes close-range combat, but will engage if necessary.

UNISEC-DA/36-IPW/MWS/x03 - Attachments:
- SMG - Small Machine-Gun attachment, shifts the platform to the role of an SMG. Fully-Automatic and Three-Round Burst fire modes only.

UNISEC-DA/45-IPW/AMR/15 - Built with internal recoil-compensators to provide a more stable firing platform, the AMR gives off little recoil despite the .950 Excalibur round it fires. The AMR comes stock with two separate barrels, one of which is internally suppressed and has a muzzle-brake at the end, the other with standard rifling - Vampir prefers the former, as it reduces her visibility on the battlefield. The weapon is typically used in an anti-armour role, though its accuracy at 2,000 yards lends itself well to more conventional sniper duties. However, Vampir has commissioned ammunition that utilises the principles of the gyrojet to combine a sub-sonic round with a reasonable range, potentially creating a very deadly 'stealth' sniper rifle.

AI Integration Module - Allows the integration of an AI into the carapace armour. Vampir's AI is named IVAN: the Integrated Visual and Audio Network. IVAN aids Vampir in her work by locating and identifying potential targets and relaying them to Vampir's heads-up-display within her helmet, and assists in adjusting the trajectory of Vampir's rifle accordingly. In addition to this, IVAN is able to assist Vampir on stealth/covert missions by identifying sources of noise such as guards, cameras and other surveillance equipment that would pose a danger to Vampir. IVAN is semi-sentient, able to hold conversations and update Vampir on the rapidly-changing battlefields which she so often finds herself embroiled in.

Ammunition Cache:
10 cases of 14.5mm ammunition (5 cases of 14.5-DUP and 5 of 14.5-TCHP) totalling 300 rounds.
5 cases of 8mm rail-rounds, at 100 rounds per case.

KM2000 Combat Knife - An older, but still lethal design, the KM2000 combat knife wielded by Vampir is a modern titanium/chromium alloy copy of the KM2000 fighting knife of the German Bundeswehr of the 21st century.

Non-Mission Equipment:

Civilian clothes - Various civilian clothes meant to allow Vampir to blend in with the background.

UNISEC modular takedown kit - A kit of tools and cloths used for the cleaning and repair of UNISEC arms and armour. Contains a wide variety of multi-tools as well as computer within the kit that holds detailed knowledge on how to maintenance the various arms and armour assigned to the user. Passcoded to Vampir's genetic marker.

Skills:
Sniper - Vampir has been trained as a sniper first-and-foremost. Her marksmanship is considered by many to be second-to-none, although Vampir never admits to this. Vampir's training focused on both long-range sniping and also close-range defence - she was considerably better at the former than the latter, although she is still a decent shot with her SMG. Vampir does not take well to high-intensity combat, unlike Aera Cura, but she can hold her own in a close-quarters fight.

Special Operations - Vampir is not a 'squad-based' person. She can work with teams, but not large ones. Vampir, like Aera Cura, is more of a spec-ops type of agent, albeit at further ranges than Aera Cura. This is not to say that Vampir is incapable of stealth work - far from it, especially with the assistance of IVAN, but Vampir prefers to work in more of a supporting role. She can masquerade and disguise herself to achieve her goals, and ultimately, she is trained to do what she must to accomplish the mission, regardless of what it may involve.

A note about the biography - the reason that I have it down as classified information is due to the logical probability of such an event occurring. Agents such as Aera Cura and Vampir are not supposed to be known about - we don't want any old Tom, Dick and Harry knowing all there is to know about them, do we? However, if a biography is absolutely necessary, I will of course edit one in.

Mass Effect: Wanted

It'll be another four weeks... Actually, Derv, I have an idea. I'll PM it to thee.

Got some problems on my end. My injury hasn't healed properly. Which means they had to break it 'again' (I am not making this up!) and now it's set in a cast. Combine that with a laptop that's temperamental, and I think I may have to admit defeat here.

This means I'm withdrawing. Apologies, folks.

Changed some things about Iridiel's CS. The cooldown on the Lightning Bolt is about an hour.

Any other questions, feel free to ask! :D

Elder Scrolls: Terror of the Padomaic

"They're gone... thank goodness." Sabuit raised her head from her reading and watched as the two figures who had been rather... distracting to her enjoyment of the book disappeared from down the hill. She had paid no attention to them in the hope that they would grow bored and leave her be - a tactic that had apparently worked as well as Sabuit had hoped, for the Dunmer and the Breton had evidently grown bored of bothering her (whilst she was reading too, how uncouth and uncultured of them) and sauntered off in search, perhaps of some other people to pester. Sabuit smiled, almost in victory, as the two figures disappeared from sight and returned to her reading. However, there were many matters still troubling her. For one, there was still that damnable Khajiit. Then, there was what her sister Aurelia would call a 'what on earth am I doing crisis' - she had been on the road for some 2 years, give or take a few days, and she had neither seen nor heard from her family in Blacklight, but she had also no stable future for herself, particularly employment-wise. In the past, Sabi had been able to scrape together a few septims here and there, more than enough to get by day to day, but life on the move was tough, and Sabuit was feeling the effects of it - she had fallen ill a few weeks before with a mysterious cough that was difficult to shake off - what it was she didn't know - and her fragile health was beginning to suffer in general. She was more susceptible to colds and other minor illnesses than usual, she was growing tired more frequently and with greater rapidity. It was as if her body was protesting vehemently against her constant travelling, and Sabuit could hardly blame it - the thrill of the travel had worn off long ago, and Sabuit was now just drifting aimlessly by life. Maybe it would have been in her interests to go home after all. She had considered it after a particularly difficult experience in Cyrodiil but she had decided against it; after all, why turn back now, when the world had so much more to offer, she thought at the time. Now, though, in a pirate town in Elsweyr, she bitterly regretted not taking such a course of action. It was the sensible thing to do at the time.

She sighed heavily and closed the book up, replacing the bookmark with the usual care as she did so. That really was the question on her mind. What was she going to do? What could she do? Who would want to employ some Dark Elf with some skill with a bow, when they could employ a Bosmer for the same role? There was nothing that she could do that no-one else couldn't do, after all. She watched the harbour with some interest - in the far distance, she saw a ship that was under... maintenance or refitting, she couldn't tell which at this distance. However, she could tell that the ship was undergoing some heavy work, which more leaned towards the latter than the former. Sabi had seen shipyards at work before on her travels, constructing boats and ships of all shapes and sizes, but she had little knowledge of actual ship construction. Not that it mattered, anyway, she wasn't all that interested in shipbuilding, although life at sea, from the stories of her brother-in-law Haldor, was both exhilarating and yet mind-numbingly dull at the same time, as well as full of hard work. Sabi was used to a hard grind, but perhaps not to the extent of a ship's crewman, she thought to herself... It still left the question of what the hell to do.

There was one thing that was on her mind right now. For the first time in her life, Sabuit wanted to drink her sorrows away.

EliteCommander said
Now, blunt weapons, on the other hand, are very effective against armor. The plate only provides marginal cushioning for the blows, so getting hit by a mace is almost the same as getting hit by it without armor.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

The point of plate armour is not just to strut about in big fancy suits of heavy metal sheeting. Plate armour, as in a proper suit of plate armour, will deflect the blow from a mace or warhammer quite well, but it's not the 'plate' that deflects the blow, it's the padded gambeson and leggings, as well as things such as the mail hauberk that you wear 'beneath' the armour that protects you from a mace, club, warhammer or any other blunt instrument of war. Arguing that being in or being out of plate armour, when you're being hit by a mace, doesn't make a difference is folly. You would be much, much safer and much better able to continue fighting if you were in plate armour if you were hit by a mace. In fact, I would argue that a sufficiently-crafted set of plate armour (styled in the form of Greenwich armour, Gothic or Maximilian) would be able to shrug off blows from maces or hammers without too much of an issue - after all, there are numerous examples of Gothic and Maximilian plate being able to deflect musket bullets from as close as 20 yards away.

I can't do anything about it, New Yorker, I'm sorry. I mean, it's hardly like I broke the damned thing on purpose... I'm not active because it still hurts to type and also I'm still trying to work out what my character is going to do, being the socially inept person she is.

Elder Scrolls: Terror of the Padomaic

I've still got a bit of pain when I type, hence why my posts have been a little shorter lately, but I'll be back to full speed soon. In addition, I'm in two RPs in Advanced that I think will need some attention from me, therefore I can't give you a concrete time of when I'll be able to post. Also, RL social life and job are in the way as well.

Apologies if it's not the answer you were hoping for, but I can't give you an exact time. :(
