I'll be posting at some point today. Got a little busy the past few days.

C.O.P.S. 2031

Cpl. Collin McCreary

Name: Collin McCreary

Role: Street Sweeper

D.O.B. December 2nd, 2003 (age 27)

Height: 6’1”

Weight: 200 lbs

Nationality: Irish American

Appearance: Large, muscular, and intimidating, Collin McCreary has dirty blonde hair, and pale icy blue eyes. His face is generally unshaven, and he bears a gruff, mean look on his face on the usual meeting. His body is riddled with small scars from knife-fights, gunshot wounds, and burns, as well as tattoos that completely cover both arms, and across his chest and upper back. He general wears well-worn jeans, a t shirt, a battered leather jacket and a baseball cap. He never goes anywhere without some sort of weapon, and almost always at least carries his twin revolvers under his jacket in their shoulder holsters. Heavily addicted to tobacco, Collin is a lifelong smoker, and has a pretty cynical attitude towards most things in life.

Background:

Collin grew up in downtown Boston, to an abusive drunk of a father and a strung out drug addicted mother. His father lost his job shortly after Collin was born during the rise of martial law, and tended to take out his frustrations on both Collin and his mother whenever he came home stinking drunk from the seedy bars and clubs that he usually frequented. In order to get money, his father did a lot of dealings with the various criminal groups that started popping up during the Anarchist movements. This led to family to becoming increasingly in debt to less than savory characters.

In order to repay this debt, the gangs started using Collin to make money. It started off small: petty theft, vandalism, small drug dealings. The older Collin got, the more they realized his potential, as the boy quickly started growing into a very large and intimidating character. His involvement in the criminal underground grew to extortion's, muggings, carjacking’s, and other more violent forms of crime. Collin, even in his teenage years, could tell where this life was leading. He had never wanted to be a part of the gang, but he knew that in order to keep his mother from being killed or possibly even worse, he had to cooperate due to his father’s debts. He grew to not only hate his father, but to hate the criminals that drove him to cause pain and anguish to others in their name. Eventually, he had a way out, though it wasn’t one that he wished for.

His mother passed when he was 17, from a heavy drug overdose. His father, too drunk to even attend the funeral, barely even noticed Collin leaving the house. With his mother gone, the only thing keeping Collin tied to that crappy neighborhood was gone, and so he left his father to deal with the mess he had created by himself. Collin, fueled by a need to try and do something worthwhile after all the damage he had done, applied at the Boston Police Academy. Despite being a high school dropout, the Academy desperately needed more officers and allowed him to apply and accepted him on the condition that he earn his GED within the first year of his admittance. Collin, now given a new purpose, worked hard to pass his classes, and while he always drifted near the bottom of the class he still was able to graduate and become a Boston Police Officer.

Or at least…he would have been. Collin never officially graduated from the Academy. Officially, Collin was expelled just before graduation for being involved in a brawl that put three students in the hospital. Officially, Collin was never allowed to return to the police force. What absolutely DID NOT happen, was that Collin’s supervisors at school had looked into his background, and had discovered his past connections with various gangs in Boston. They most certainly DID NOT ask Collin to get in a fight to get himself expelled. And they DID NOT secretly put the newly NON-graduated officer into a special undercover operations program within the Boston Police Department.

Collin, as an undercover agent, went back into the seedy underbelly of Boston that he had crawled from. He spent a year working in Boston, where he earned a reputation for brutality in his dealings with criminals and the very un-sanctioned use of violence and intimidation for gathering evidence and information. To him, the ends always justified the means to take someone down, and he didn’t particularly care who got in the way. This attitude left him to being transferred to Neo-Bay, a city with a hard reputation and a need for hard cops like Collin McCreary. He worked in the undercover department of the Neo-Bay PD for 2 years before the department folded. It was there that he ran into Mack Yancy. He was working undercover in the employment of a fairly high-profile Gang leader, who was smuggling drugs in and out of the city. Yancy led the tactical team to take the guy out, while McCreary had been on the inside feeding the team the information they needed to plan their assault. Though the department is out, Collin keeps in touch with Mack from time to time, stopping by the Red Raven for a beer or two and to swap old war stories.

@Dead Cruiser

I like the idea of a wandering female warrior/smith. It's not something one sees a lot of. Id like to make her magic both shaping and moving metal. It'd be subtle in battle (an extra burst of speed here, a slight change in the direction of the enemy's sword there) but really important to the smithing craft (she'd use magic for a lot of the shaping process.)

@Sonatina

I was also thinking of creating a smith/craftsman type of character. I have not yet come up with much past the general idea of his profession, but I was thinking of creating a smith character of very high renown, known for creating either the finest, or some of the finest, weapons and armor in the entire Kingdoms. Felt like that was fitting since we are supposed to be legendary figures.

Perhaps you and I could work together on this? Maybe create two characters that are related in some way. Be it family members, friends, rivals, whatever. I'm open to a lot of concepts at this point since I have yet to hammer down anything specific due to the flexibility this setting seems to provide.

C.O.P.S. 2031

Hahaha that is awesome.

AGE OF DAWN

You've peaked my interest in this as well. I saw the Interest Check thread but figured since the OOC was created I will just post my desire to participate here. I wasn't around in the old days I here people talking about, but I would love to be apart of this reboot and maybe offer something different than what you had before.

As for a character, I must admit that after reading the initial post in the Interest Check I only skimmed through the posts from others so far, so I do not have a character concept in mind yet. I will go back later today and see what other people have either posted or plan to build, and try to create something that offers skills different or complimentary to what we already may see.

Last of Us

This is most certainly going to be a thing. I'm in the midst of finals right now, which is kicking me in the face.

@Anima

Oof. Good luck. I can wait till you're complete, finals are more important.

Last of Us

So I just wanted to again post my interest...and also check up on this to see if its still gonna be a thing?

@Dynamo Frokane Took out the weapons bit.

The Grim Crusade [Warhammer 30,000 RP]

@Hank This new Chronicles thread would probably be a good place we could put the rest of our flashback meeting. Seems like an appropriate place for it instead of piece-mealing it like we planned.

C.O.P.S. 2031

Noticed I was lacking a rank for my guy. Decided on Corporal, as even though he spent three years undercover in two different departments he no doubt got busted down a few ranks more than once on account of his attitude and actions.
