Working on my first post, won't be in District 21 though. By the way how much is 2500 credits in perspective? Like, what you can purchase with this ammount. Also, maybe we should make a map of districts to have some sort of a geographical understanding of Europa, because, for example, I have no idea where is District21 and how far is it when compared to District 20 which is in Eastern Europa.

@SmileyJaws - I finnaly, finnaly finished it! What do you think?


Name: Henry Kasperov
Age: 33
Sex: Male
Gender: Male | He/Him
Notoriety +3
Appearance: Henry is a 1,79 m tall Caucasian male of athletic build. He has blue eyes, short brown hair, and light facial hair.
Personality: Over a decade of work as a mercenary has influenced Henry's personality: constant training, espionage and combat has defined the latter part of his life. Because of this, Henry has had to bury certain aspects of himself. The discipline required for his work has given him the ability to detach himself emotionally from the immediate situation in order to better assess his options and figure out the best way to achieve his objectives.
Though aware and confident of his abilities, Henry understands that even if he is a cyborg, he still is human and his survival more often than not has been a gift of chance. With no wish to die, Henry has no problem to refuse a job if he understands that it’s above his abilities, and by the same token, he has no problem refusing jobs purely based on ethics and his moral beliefs.

Calm/Calculating – Bold – Charismatic – Cold

Bio: Henry grew up in a working class household in the eastern region of District 20. He had shown himself to be very intelligent from a young age, so it was no surprise to his family that after finishing school, Henry received scholarship and enrolled in the University of Tartu.
While studying at Tartu, Henry became aware of the radical movements that believed in and fought for the return of nationalism. Believing it to be a noble cause, Henry became a social activist. After graduating from the university, Henry moved to Riga, the capital of District 20 and joined an underground radical cell. He quickly befriended the cell’s members and became loyal to the cause.
However, his support withered after the cell began using bombs in public places and performed bank heists to fund their cause. Sickened by what he had helped them do, Henry decided to distance himself from the movement and returned to his family in his hometown.
After a few months, he started drifting east into the states owned by Korporat18, specifically Siberia. While traveling in between the Siberian metropolises, Henry started to perform odd-jobs of various legality to support himself, with the skills he learned from his radical days proving to be useful. After arriving to Vladivostok, Henry officially became a mercenary and worked there for about a year. It was around this time, that Henry learned that most of the Cell he fought with was wiped out by the EPA.
After earning enough credits, Henry decided to migrate into Japan and he lived there for about four years until his return to Europa. He first lived in Osaka, but then moved to Akakawa and, later, Neo-Tokyo. While he was mostly hired by the Japanese gangs in the beginning, Henry soon started working for numerous private corporations. After moving to Neo-Tokyo, Henry began receiving augmentations and became a cyborg (in the lightest sense of the word).
Somewhere around this time Henry decided that he wanted to go back to Europa. He returned to District 20 around two years ago and now resides in Riga. While he provides his mercenary services in Europa, he may be sometimes hired to work abroad.

Cybernetics: When Henry originally lived in Europa he had a neutral stance on cybernetics and augmentation. But after moving to Neo-Tokyo, however, he was overwhelmed by the large bodyhacking and pro-augmentation culture that made the city the world capital of cybernetics. Soon, with access to the newest cybernetics from all over the world, Henry saw the advantages of augmentations and became a cyborg with some low-level implants.

Gecko Hands™ – A rare military-grade augmentation designed by Nova INC, Henry managed to procure them through a favor.

The skin on Henry’s palms has been replaced by a smooth skin-like material that, when stimulated by Henry, instantly shape shifts into a modified pattern based on the skin found on Gecko’s feet. It’s highly adhesive properties allow him to stick his palms onto any surface without the fear of them slipping off.

Not yet! It isn't! Not until I get my fill!
I like GATE, especially its political setting, which, unfortunately, is severely underplayed in the series. I love how it is mentioned that China would like to invade Japan to send half of it's population there and Russia would like to destroy the gate, in order to save it's economy (which is based around trade with the EU). I also love how it affects the main characters (like, how Japan's military got a big boost from Uncle Sam after the gate opened or, of course, what happens when some of the characters go back to Japan). Sometimes I like to imagine what would happen if another gate would open in another nation, like, for example, Russia, it would dramaticaly alter the story both inside the gate and in our world, since the goals of thiese nations would change and it would be interesting to see conflict in two militaries, whose core ideologies and modus operandi are different.

Now, I don't know much about Philippenes and it's armed forces, but considering that they have men with guns, tanks and helicopters, they wouldn't have a problem against the romans, now I would be more worried about an invasion from China...

Anyway, I know nothing about it's government, but if it wouldn't be able to protect itself from men with swords, bows, magic and dragons, I can see Philippenes asking for an UN peacekeeping force to come and help them, which would, of course give the players the ability to have characters of different etnicities.

TL;DR: I have read/watched GATE, I know 0 about Philippenes and I would like to be a part of this RP. Pretty please.
@LetMeDoStuff Hey, whats the time span between the raid and the current "situation" Marcus is in? Hours, days?
Okay then:

Name: Konrad Kasperov

Age: 36

Faction: New Order Intelligence and Logistics Section

Gender: Male

Appearance

Height: 5'11"
Build: Average
Weight: 170 lbs
Eyes: Blue/Green
Hair: Black

Because of the nature of Kasper's work, he rarely uses uniforms and prefers the use of civilian attire that best suits the district he is operating in. The most notable pieces of equipment he uses the majority of the time is the LBT-1961A chest rig and, less commonly, the FAST helmet.

Nationality: Russian

Personality:
For over a decade, Kasperov has been involved in the war against the resistance. He has not only survived, but has also excelled in the field of covert operations through hard work, insatiable curiosity, brutal honesty and exceptional leadership. Combat, espionage and constant training have defined his adult life. His tactical experience has become a part of his instinct.

Though fully aware and confident of his abilities, Kasper understands that his survival has often been a gift of chance. He knows he is human and that he is fallible, and he does not want to die. Highly-trained, skilled and experienced, Konrad possesses a distinctly dark sense of humor, which he uses to control his fears and keep himself calm while in the field.

But in order to achieve the discipline required for his work, Kasperov has had to bury certain aspects of himself and his humanity. His ability to detach himself emotionally from the immediate situation in order to better achieve his objectives is an exceptional attribute. In a sense, he has become what he does. However, his emotions have been known to surface. Kasper has acquired an admirable collection of scars, war experiences, and a place in the nation's history. He has little left to prove to the world and he has no interest in glory, unlike many of his colleagues. If Konrad fights, it is because he believes he is capable of provoking a positive change.

Equipment:
Having the support of SIS, Kasper is able to freely choose whatever he wishes or needs to equip himself with. This results in Kasper having access to relatively futuristic gear in comparison to the military or the resistance, since this technology was designed and created by the great minds in the R&D departments of the New Order.

Kasper's assault rifle of choice is the Special Operations Combat Rifle (SOCR), a spiritual successor to the Magpul Masada. It is an assault rifle platform designed by Weapons Design Bureau Zero and is chambered in 300 AAC Blackout, whose ballistics are similar to the Soviet 7.62x39mm ammunition. The rifle boasts superior accuracy, damage and reliability over the obsolete M4 system that uses the 5.56x45mm NATO round.



This masterpiece of an automatic pistol is a custom model of the M1911A1, incorporating high-precision parts for improved performance. It's capacity is limited to seven rounds, but the .45ACP ammunition boast excellent stopping power and the gun's simple design makes it highly reliable. This gun has belonged to Kasper since his days in the military.



Skills:
A highly skilled soldier, Kasper was selected for and passed the qualifications to become a member of the 2nd Special Warfare Group. During the War on Utopia, he became good at working with the local civilians and obtaining intelligence that was used to take out suspected war criminals. This background later helped in his acceptance into the SIS.

Despite having left the military, Konrad still kept his skills sharp. Over the course of his entire career, he has acquired a wide range of special skills, including, but not limited to:
  • Advanced Weapons Training
  • Close Quarters Combat
  • Unarmed Combat
  • Evasive Driving Technique
  • Covert Communication
  • Unarmed Combat
  • Structure Penetration
  • Covert Influence Operations
  • Interrogation
  • Interrogation Resistance
  • Reconnaissance


History:
Konrad Kasperov was a graduate of the New Order Military Academy, majoring in Information and Communication Technologies, and became a member of the 2nd Special Warfare Group - Deep Reconnaissance Platoon under the call sign 'Riga'.

He is acknowledged as one of the finest Servicemen in his lifetime by his superiors. He led and participated in various special operations in Utopia controlled districts. At some point during his time in the military, Konrad spent nearly two years as an intelligence analyst.

He left the military at the age of 28, having attained the rank of Major, after receiving an offer to join the New Order Intelligence and Logistics Section (also known as the SIS).

Recruited into the SIS, Konrad worked in information warfare. At a later point, Kasperov was a part of a joint investigation between the SIS and the IFO-B that led him to a conspiracy that involved the SIS and the High Council.

This resulted in Konrad leaving the SIS and going independent.

During this time, Kasper was contracted by the military as a special consultant. This allowed him to gain many contacts in the military and the government.

After this, Kasper returned to the SIS as a Paramilitary Operations Officer under the request of an old friend.

Currently, Kasper leads a paramilitary team called Masako under the code name 'Kozak'.

Other:
  • Kozak is a spelling of the Russian word for Cossacks, Kazaki. Cossacks are a group of predominantly East Slavic people who originally were members of democratic, semi-military communities in Ukraine and Southern Russia.
  • Kasper's left eye is green and his right is blue, due to Heterochromia iridum.
Technically, you just explained how he found it out and got away from it.

"Kasperov was a part of a joint investigation between the DSP and the IFO-B that led him to a conspiracy that involved the DPS and the High Council."

If only one person found out, the person would be killed.

If two braches found out, it would be a clusterfuck.

It WAS a clusterfuck.

With the way New Order is... they wouldn't like clusterfucks and would most likely call DSP a rouge agency and kill anyone involved with Operation Gunrunner and Project Undershaft. This would also mean some good portion of the high ups.

Everyone being in the same boat, it would make sense that they would decide to bury it with threats, bribes and promotions.
@Sifter

Hmmm...seems alright, although you are taking a few more liberties with the lore than i would like.

Honorable discharges are a thing, although they only happen to REALLY good personnel that have proven themselves loyal enough not to defect, and even then, they are expected to aid in another new order section. Just getting that across.

Directorate of public safety sounds EXACTLY like something ive already established. i was gonna put a faction bio up for them on my next post. (Ill PM the details to you if you want) This is a mistake on my part however. My bad.

If he was privy to sensitive information, there is no way in hell they would just let him leave and go indepedent. Sorry. He could have been MOVED to the military as a consultant however.

Not sure if i want a conspiracy that goes all the way up to the high council. PM me it if you can please. Something that involves a single member might be alright though. (like bribery or something) But of course, it might be fine as it is, i just need to see it first.

And what do you mean by the "Reign of the new order"? In the weapons section. The new order is reigning right now. It sounds like you are referring to the old world civilizations. Otherwise, its fine.

So yeah. Im happy to fill in any information you need.


1. Kasperov left the Military in order to join the DPS, but now that I've read what I had written again, I see that this was not made clear. Sorry.

2. If It's based on the CIA/KGB, then sign me in.

3. I have to keep this, sorry. Notice how I began calling him Kasper only after he goes independent, that is the point when he cuts his ties to the New Order. This is the point where he becomes a new man. This is the point when his strings are cut.

He is contracted by the military.

He goes back to the MPS after a request. Not an order.

He leads his own unit.

Even his code name - Kozak is a spelling of Cossack. Cossacks are a group of predominantly East Slavic people who originally were members of democratic, semi-military communities in Ukraine and Southern Russia.

I believe you misunderstood how it happened too. I am making a much more detailed biography and I am planning to release it as flashbacks in my IC posts, ofcourse if you will accept my character.

4. I will explain it to you in PM.

5. A honest mistake I made. I am very sorry. :)
