Note: Mr. Cheshire's character sheet will be updated as the plot progresses.

"Mr. Cheshire" [+]

Full Name: Unknown

Alias(es): Several. He uses a variety of fake IDs to pass through customs and security checkpoints. He is mostly known in the underground as Mr. Cheshire.

Sex: Male.

Nationality: American.

Age: Over 70 (exact age unknown)

Appearance:

Mr. Cheshire

He stands at around 6'4 and weighs over 200 pounds. He usually sports a porcelain cat mask to cover his face when meeting people he doesn't fully trust and only takes it off after they gain his trust, which takes a couple of days or even months. The mask also has a voice modifier strapped on the inside, near the mouth.

Personality: Mr. Cheshire is described as a very callous and distant man. He considers the people he hires as tools and quickly discards them when their usefulness expires, even going as far as putting bounties in their heads if his identity is at risk of being compromised. When asked, he gives vague answers about himself, like stating his age to be "over 70" or using "maybe" as a riposte when asked if he has a family. He also has severe trust issues, wearing a mask to meet new people and maintaining a distance of at least 15 feet away from them. He only appears in person during the early negotiations phase. Once a deal is made, he resorts to forwarding messages to his "tools" via his OPLink or through his concierge. If one of his operatives finds valuable information, he makes sure that information is communicated to him and him only so as to prevent a leak. It's also not uncommon for him to withhold crucial information for a certain period, only to spill them when he decides the time's right. His tone of voice is very rigid, and he was never seen or heard cracking a joke.

Another one of his defining traits are his improvisational skills. He is able to effortlessly adapt a new identity, complete with a fake background history and an entirely new personality in a matter of minutes. In spite of his cold, strictly professional attitude, Mr. Cheshire seems to bear an endless amount of love for his country. His patriotic tendencies aren't too "in your face", but based on his actions and how far he is willing to go to protect The United States from The Network's clutches, it doesn't take an understanding of rocket science to know that he's a man who loves his country. He also seems to be close to his young concierge, Emily, letting her in on many of his secrets. It is unknown what is it that he plans to do if he manages to dispatch The United States branch of The Network.

Background: Close to nothing is known about this mysterious benefactor. Based on his understanding of military tactics and knowledge on pretty classified, albeit outdated intel, it can be concluded that he had a prominent role during the Cold War. He has a freakishly large amount of resources and wealth, which he stores in shadow accounts in different banks of the world. It's unknown how he's gathered that wealth, and when asked, he'll usually say that he's "laid the foundations". What foundations he's talking, nobody knows.

"Emily Yeagher" [+]

Full Name: Emily Yeagher

Alias(es): Just like Mr. Cheshire, she uses a variety of different identities to pass through customs. The name she goes by in the underground world is Alice.

Sex: Female

Nationality: Canadian.

Age: 27

Appearance:

Alice

She is 5'6 tall and weighs around 125 pounds.

Personality: Due to the secretive nature of their mission, Emily, just like her boss, won't disclose details about herself early on. Unlike Cheshire however, she does eventually get comfortable with people she interacts even though she hasn't gotten a chance to do that with anyone else but the old man in a long, long time. She is rather sarcastic most of the time, but knows when to get professional. And while there, she keeps a strictly professional relationship with all of Mr. Cheshire's hired helpers, which is not quite a hard task considering they are let go in a jiffy. She doesn't always agree with her boss' doings, but does appreciate the fact that he's doing it for a something bigger than himself.

Emily's relationship with Mr. Cheshire is akin to that of a father-daughter, although she always appears to be his escort in public (so that they can share rooms and it wouldn't be weird). She sees in Mr. Cheshire what she believed her biological father lacked; conviction. While not a follower of his ideals, she can see that they're noble and as such is ready to do anything in her control to help him achieve them. She goes by the philosophy that nothing should be kept hidden from the people, but respect her superior's decision to not disclose any intel considering the circumstances. Overall, her personality is somewhat radiant, with a hint of pragmatism in it. She often throws jokes around, loves to banter and is very good at it.

Background: Born to a Canadian father and an American mother, Emily grew into a fairly supportive family. Her keen intellect surfaced at a pretty early age, so her parents made sure to enlist her into different courses and extracurricular activities, stuff she mostly enjoyed. It was during her teenage years that she also developed an interest on politics. It all started when she decided to watch a TV news channel out of boredom, and then it evolved from there. She was mostly fascinated with the political stage in The United States, growing to hate all of the operating politicians regardless of their position.

Everything went downhill during her young adult phase. Her father, a corporate executive working for some big shot corporation, decided to take Emily to a trip in America. She loved it there and plead her father to let her stay to study journalism at the New York University. He reluctantly agreed. While there, aside from her studies, she was also involved in writing columns for an internet news website in exchange for a modest fee. Some of her research led her to come into possession of incriminating evidence regarding a backroom deal between certain corporate executives and US government officials. Shortly after, she published an article called "The Ugly Truth: Ways Your Government Is Covertly Screwing You" which had all of the aforementioned information, and then some. The article was quickly taken off the website, so she spread it around, first on her blog and then on different news websites. The internet got wind that something wrong was going on when all traces of the article began vanishing. That is also around the time when she first came in contact with Mr. Cheshire in a private chat. She found his way of speech and his weirdly ominous messages concerning, but later shrugged them off as nothing.

Blowing the whistle got Emily labeled as some internet hero, but also helped her garner a lot of unwanted attention. She was soon arrested, and one of those corporate monkeys she helped expose made a couple of calls and had her father fired. Devastated, he couldn't face the stress and committed suicide by asphyxiation. The news hit Emily hard, but she couldn't mourn him yet as she had a slew of problems to deal with beforehand, one of them being her trial. And then, everything went to a halt. The prosecution decided to drop all charges and agreed to pay 40,000 dollars in restitution. Emily was at first dumbfounded. She had no idea what happened. It was at her father's funeral that she was approached by a mysterious old man, who revealed himself to be Mr. Cheshire, the one who orchestrated the trial to be in the redhead's favor. He effectively recruited her into his cause, promising that she'd gain revenge against all the bureaucrats that did her family harm. She was 22 at the time.

Over the years, she has received some minor combat training and has become proficient in different firearms. Her role in the game is as a middle woman in Mr. Cheshire's business dealings and as his personal hacker, using her skills to gain access to different digital fortresses, hide his tracks, create shadow bank accounts and what not.

~Black Dawn (Espionage/Mystery)[OOC/IC]

Note: For the love of God and all that is holy, please read the OOC carefully. There are important details which you'll have to suck in first if you want to create a character.

~ Black Dawn

It's the year 2016. The United States presidential elections are nearing. Anxiety can be felt in the air as this time things are different. Whoever makes his way into the Oval office is not only going to become president, but may also reshape The United States of America, for better or worse.

Following a terrorist attack in last year's Mardi Gras parade by a jihadist group, screenshots began to surf around Reddit showing the two perpetrators discussing the details of their assault. In a public chat no less. After proven to be valid, the fact that there was a terrorist attack planned right under everyone's nose caused an uproar. The Republican party had enough ammo to tear the leading cabinet a new asshole. And that's how the Information Control act came to be. The law, if it was to pass, would regulate and monitor a huge stream of data on the internet and sift potential threats towards U.S interest through an implemented program called "Flashlight". In October 23rd of 2015, after engaging in fierce negotiations with different representatives of the internet, who voiced their protests against the act, a member of the Republican party with the blessing of the President himself, assured that the bill would not come up for a vote during the current term. The news put everyone at ease, but many Internet users warned of upcoming protests should the law come into consideration again. The IC act controversy also was to become the main focus of the 2016 President campaign - Sen. Joseph Johnson of the Democratic party went on to promise the general population that he would make sure the bill would never pass, while his rival, Sen. Richard Conroy declared that he would make sure the bill passes. So far, public support has leaned towards the Democratic party. However...

While the public is left to deal with the political shitstorm, a silent war is happening in the background. A clandestine organization with influence around the world known only as The Network has been manipulating important national events to make sure that it would all come to this. From the early 2000s, they've orchestrated seemingly unrelated political assassinations in order to pave a way to their goals; total control. They are indirectly affiliated with the Republican party, since their discrete nature doesn't allow for direct contact. It would also be extremely convenient for them if the Information Control bill passed. That said, there's little to no information about who leads the organization, the number of members or just exactly how vast their influence is. As a matter of fact, there's no government record even hinting about their existence, which implies that they may have already infiltrated crucial U.S assets.

Cue Mr. Cheshire, a mysterious and wealthy benefactor who covertly has taken the initiative to oppose The Network. The exact time he entered the stage is unknown, but he has amassed enough information to at least acknowledge The Network's existence. The path he deemed fit to counter such a powerful organization was through keeping a distance. He doesn't employ people, he hires them, refusing to reveal any compromising information. It has been proven time and again that, while very shadowy, The Network does have a system of hierarchy. Mr. Cheshire doesn't. And he takes advantage of that by discarding unnecessary pieces and actively eliminating proof of his existence. So far, there's been no indication that The Network is aware of his existence, but that's most likely due to no course of action being taken as of yet seeing as how Cheshire's remained in the information gathering phase.

The mysterious death of Nathan Leighton, an investigative journalist, has piqued the interest of Mr. Cheshire. While to the public eye the murder is simply an accident, Mr. Cheshire, through comparing evidence gathered in the past, has managed to make a connection between the 'accident' and The Network and has also managed to single out a franchise assassin of importance to the organization - a person known only by the name of Adds. The uncovering of such crucial information has led Mr. Cheshire to make a move. His course of action, after years of dormancy, was to hire six elite assassins from around the world and sign a one year contract, which he could renew if he needed their services for another year. Their collective mission; identify and eliminate the assassin known as Adds.

"The Network/Adds" [+]

~ The Network

The name The Network was first used in an otherwise pretty useless encrypted memo that one of Mr. Cheshire's lackeys retrieved at the conclusion of a scavenging op. After picking up context clues, the mysterious benefactor was quick to deduce that the name indicated that the United States weren't the organization's main focus. And surely, after a week of research, his assumptions panned out to be true. The organization extended all over the world. China, Russia, England and especially Middle Eastern countries. Mr. Cheshire's prying also revealed that The Network was responsible for the death of a U.S Senator sometimes in March of 2002, a death which at the time was ruled as a car crash. Further investigations revealed a pattern in all of the political assassinations. It was almost as if the organization predicted how an entire decade would turn out, with the Mardi Gras parade bombing, which was secretly carried out by Network operatives, serving as the final nail in the coffin. Allegedly, the only hiccup in their plan was the victory of the Democratic party during 2008 President elections which only postponed their plans.

The Information Control act would serve as the ultimate cloak for The Network. They could easily utilize "Flashlight" to claim important government intel and delete all traces of their involvement within the U.S soil.

It is worth mentioning that these are all theories established by Mr. Cheshire, as the lack of conclusive evidence makes it hard to get a clear look at their precise goals. One thing is for sure; they do exist and they won't stop at nothing to accomplish their mission.

~ Adds

The murder of Nathan Leighton, a freelance investigative reporter, brought forth a name unheard before. Adds. Suspected Network operatives tossed the name around quite often, but there was a bit of uncertainty in their tones, like not even them were sure if Adds was real or just a myth. Regardless, the name was connected to dozens of killings, including the murder of Nathan. What's unique about Adds' method of killing is that he (or she) never operates any type of guns, instead electing to employ different tools like nerve gas and a variety of toxins or experimental drugs. His kills are clean and manage to get past most autopsy reports. It was only recently that Mr. Cheshire discovered the existence of a poison that turns the victim's entire organic system against them, essentially forcing said victim to suffocate. Said victim happened to be Leighton. It was Adds' work of art that finally drew Cheshire out of his dormancy period.

Needless to say 'Adds' could very well be an alias, or perhaps a surname.

"Mission Structure/Weapons n'Gadgets" [+]

~ Mission Structure

The story missions will be done in a way that will allow you near complete freedom. I will describe the place which you have to infiltrate, like thoroughly; where all the doors are, where the guards are, where the target is, any retrievable items and so and so. There will be a few exceptions where it wouldn't make sense for Mr. Cheshire to know that much information, so you might have to figure stuff out by yourself, but that's how the majority of the missions will work out. Failure to do something properly, like hide a body you've just knocked out/killed or getting caught in cameras, will get you in trouble. If caught, you might as well just have your character snap his own neck cause if The Network doesn't kill him, then Mr. Cheshire will.

There will also be high-priority areas which I will distinguish from the other areas using this color. You can't simply enter these areas. You need to have your character open the door, and then let me describe what's inside since nine times out of ten, these areas hold something important and are mostly off-limits. That goes for about every area too. You cannot traverse the entire map in one post. You can only do two rooms at a time, IF said rooms aren't of much importance. I trust that your judgment's gonna be spot on.

What I also should tell you is that you can go about two ways of infiltrating an area; hiding in plain sight - utilizing disguises and what not. Or, the second one; using the shadows - sneaking in through the lower floors and mostly staying out of sight. There will also be instances where two assassins will be sent in a mission, so if you're smart, you can use both of those styles to make a foolproof strategy. Mr. Cheshire surely loves it when his pawns act smart.

~ Weapons and Gadgets

-The NMA (Nationwide Mobile Armory)
-The NMA is a ring of mobile arms caches scattered around the United States. The dealers appear to be freelance, but are actually all connected to one another through Mr. Cheshire, who's got them under his payroll. They are constantly on the road, and are not allowed to rest for more than one hour. The crew handling the shipment is replaced by another crew after a 12 hour time period, while the requested weapons are delivered by what are called 'couriers' each in individual vehicles. The dealers are not allowed to sell weapons to anyone else but Mr. Cheshire for the duration of their contract.

The mobile depots usually come in the form of trailer trucks, cargo choppers or mega yachts. In order to remain inconspicuous, Mr. Cheshire doesn't allow the weapons to be transported through more pronounced means of transportation like cargo ships, trains, commercial planes, private jets, et cetera. While the merchandise is pretty standard, there are also a few state of the art gadgets hidden in a few of the compartments which are made available for anyone who works under Mr. Cheshire.

OPLink: The OPLink resembles a mobile phone device. It even functions like one. You can call, take pictures, connect to the internet. What makes it different from a cellphone however is that it allows you to transmit encrypted (or any sort) of data from whatever location you're in to Cheshire's database in less than a second. The phone can be easily folded to the point where it resembles a USB and even works like one. You stick it in the hub, and all of the data is quickly transmitted to the man in charge. Completely untraceable. One cool other function that the OPLink has it's that it can be used to access a digital weapons market, where you can order a loadout and it will be delivered to your location. (See 'The NMA' above). Mr. Cheshire owns a Master OPLink, which enables him to communicate with his helpers but prevents them from reaching him.

Directional EMP Device: It's a handheld device which can be used to disrupt surveillance cameras or any type of electricity based instruments. How it works is you point it at the device you want to shut down, pull the trigger, and it's done. Only backdraw is that it can jam devices only for a short five seconds, so you better make use of your time. It's completely undetectable by metal detectors, and can even be used to shut metal detectors down. Make sure you don't overuse it though, as once the security figures out something's wrong, the chances of you being caught are going to be higher.

Hidden Earpiece: The earpiece in and of itself is very standard, but it's actually modified, layered to be undetectable and can be used to connect with the OPLink through wireless connection. When that's done, you'll be able to intercept enemy radio chatter. You must be inside the radius to do that, though. There is also a bigger device that has about the same function and covers a larger radius called CID (Chatter Intercepting Device), but due to the size of that baby, the chances of you carrying it over in a mission are pretty slim.

The aforementioned gadgets will be with you at all times, while you can choose your own loadout. Just keep in mind; the point of this RP is to stay out of sight, so no rocket launchers or anything like that. There will also be times when Mr. Cheshire will lend a helping hand and bribe the workers of whatever facility you're trying to get in to smuggle the weapons, at which point you'll have to find them. But that will only happen if the security is pretty tight.

~ Rules

- Patience. I'm not gonna create a character of my own in this RP, but I still have to GM it, not to mention I may be caught up in other RPs. Plus, I do have a life, as hard as it may seem to believe. I may be busy dealing with it.

- Clean up. By clean up I mean for your characters to clean up. Cleaning up will be a recurring theme in this RP. Basically what you have to do is quickly conceal dead bodies, make sure cameras haven't caught you red handed and being a formidable assassin, generally speaking. One mistake will be forgivable and may actually create a quite interesting situation for your character , but once it happens a second time, and a third time and a fourth time, it'll begin getting stale. I won't hold your hand. You're gonna have to do everything by yourself. If anything, I'll simply make things more difficult for you.

- Not be a dick. Yes, I expect you to not be a dick. Don't insult me. Don't insult other participants. If you're gonna quit, let me know, and while there have the decency to kill off your character. I won't hold it against you if you don't, but it'll surely spare me the bother. If you're gonna go in a trip, let me know. Like, immediately, not after two weeks when the trip's over. By then, your character is probably laying in a ditch with cement blocks on his/her feet.

- Pay attention. I said I can't stress this one enough. Pay attention! If you're tired and just came back from work, take a nap and then read my messages. The plot will be heavy on foreshadowing, since mystery is a big part of this RP. So it'll make my experience and your experience way more pleasant if you're in the right state of mind when indulging in this type of stuff.

And finally, if you're the type of guy who skips through RPs like a flamboyant Norwegian on top a volcano, don't even bother to join this RP. I'm looking for dedicated people, not those who change minds faster than one can say 'change mind' three times. I understand if you're being overwhelmed by real life, or if you have an emergency, but I'll make sure to stalk your profile and if I see you posting in another RP, I'll make sure I spread the word all around this place. Also, you're dead to me.

Oh, and one more thing. This isn't first come, first serve, so if you don't make it in but the guy behind you does, then either your character sheet doesn't match the RP's tone, or his sheet was better. Or both.

Edit: Let me clarify a couple of things which I didn't imagine would be necessary.

First of all, do NOT and I repeat, DO NOT show your character being recruited by Mr. Cheshire in the CS. Don't even make a mention of Mr. Cheshire. For all your character cares, he doesn't even exist. I have an idea on how he'll recruit the assassins, which I will show in the first IC post.

Second, your guy must be an assassin. I remember clearly stating that Mr. Cheshire hires a squad of elite assassins, not thieves, or criminals or soldiers. Assassins.

Third, do not involve Adds in your story. Part of the appeal of this RP will be the mystery aspect of it, and I have yet to clear out Adds' identity. He could be a man, a woman, a dog, an oak tree, an entire sub-division, an alias carried by many people, he could be anything.

Fourth, just for a good measure. Do NOT post your CS in the Characters section EVEN if I tell you that it's good. Good does not mean 'approved'. You know what means 'approved'? Approved.

Black Dawn [Interest Check]

Well, since we're all in, I'll get working on the OOC shortly after this. Expect it to happen tomorrow night.

Black Dawn [Interest Check]

@Starlance Not at all, sir. Welcome aboard.

Black Dawn [Interest Check]

@Kacey Scott, thing is we're in a kind of a pickle right now. There's a chance that the initial interest has died out, so I'm gonna have to do a roll call. If the quota is filled, then I'll get to the OOC. If not..I'm gonna have to let it go.

Surviving: The End. (Season 1) (CLOSING, look for reboot!)

I'll get you a sample post tomorrow, and then throw in a flashback if everything goes fine and well..

Expect some human vs. zombie action.

Surviving: The End. (Season 1) (CLOSING, look for reboot!)

Name: Jonathan Cross
Group: Walker.
Age: 18
Occupation: A summer job as an assistant at his Father's veterinary clinic. Never had a real occupation.
Family life: Single.
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Brown
Weight: 145 Ibs
Picture:

Jonathan

Blood type: A-
Immune: Yes.

Gear: After Day Zero, Jonathan has made it his life duty to make sure he never runs out of supplies. While he is constantly breaking into new places, scavenging whatever that helps him refill his stock, there are few things that he considers essential to his survival. Firstly, a first aid kit. Not a makeshift one. The real deal. He never had to use it in the field. His first aid kit contains the basics; bandages, dressings, a thermal blanket, gloves, resuscitation masks, scissors, three bottles of ibuprofen, a surgical needle and a thread. Secondly, as a weapon, a meat hook. Thirdly, four large cans of Pedigree wet dog food, which are for him not for the mutt. First can tasted like shit, but he eventually got used to it. He also sports a scrub whenever inspecting new, foreign areas and/or meeting new people. That's due to his paranoia, which often borders on insanity.

Bio: It is rather amusing how a person can change overnight. Prior to The Rising, Jonathan was your average high school teenager. He spent most of his spare time procrastinating, dodging responsibilities and getting yelled at by his relatives. He not seldom skipped school in favor of hanging out with his clique, and was an overall jerk, especially to the elderly. Only time when he actually did something productive was that one month during summer when he assisted his Dad in his Veterinary clinic in downtown Manhattan. His Dad was a huge fan of dogs, but couldn't bring one home one due to his wife's allergies. So, he rescued a male stray dog, named him Maverick and decided to keep him in a basement down the clinic, providing him with a shelter and enough food. While he didn't share his dad's love for the fauna, or any of his pleasurable traits, Jonathan also couldn't help but develop a friendship with the mutt, frequently taking him out for walks and cleaning up after him. Aside from that, he also picked up a bunch of useful life skills likes stitching and cleaning a wound.

A tiny bit wiser, but still the edgy teenage dirtbag that he always made himself to be, Jonathan emerged from that summer very much unchanged. Life maintained it's steady pace. Everything was normal. Well, until The Rising, that is.

He was at home that day, complaining on social media about how Valentine's Day sucks, while the rest of his family were out for a stroll. And then, in a moment's notice, all the news feeds were flooded. Low quality videos depicting people screaming in panic surfaced. Ominous profile statuses posted all over Facebook. Dumbfounded and slightly concerned, Jon decided to look out of the window only to see nothing out of the ordinary. He was almost about to discard the signs as some sort of a weird new trend if he wasn't to receive a phone call from his father. Jon could tell he was breathless, and dead serious, as he ordered him to leave the house as fast as he could and make his way to the clinic. He complied. At the clinic, he waited at the entrance as people rushed past him, some even offering to give him a ride out of the town. But he had to wait for his family. Thirty minutes passed, an hour, an hour and a half and no signs of his relatives. That's when he decided to make himself scarce. He ran like he knew where he was going, even though he had no idea. It was not until the following day that Jonathan understood the gravity of the situation. A zombie infestation. He was stricken by a wide range of emotions; fear, confusion and even sorrow as he was faced with the prospect of never meeting any of his family members ever. For all he knew, they were either infected or dead. After shedding a stream of unmanly tears, he got back to the clinic and salvaged some goods - a first aid kit, dog food and the mutt himself, whom he found howling for help. That night he cried himself to sleep, and then woke up the other day, deprived of tears, deprived of his first world issues and with one clear objective in mind. Ensuring his own survival.

From then on, Jon moved through towns and states with his trusted four legged companion by his side. If he got lucky, he'd find a working vehicle with the keys dropped near by, which would make his trip way easier..and significantly shorter. He would pass through different towns with the hope of finding life, only to confirm that yes, they are barren. He also had a few run-ins with a bunch of zombies, but those usually ended with him and his brave guardian scampering the fuck out. Despite his naivety, Jon is very well aware that the chances of a civilization reboot are thin. All he wants is to survive, and he considers the easiest way to do that is by joining forces with the remaining human beings.

Personality: Jonathan is exactly what you wish your typical horror movie protagonist to be, and then some. While he will never admit it, he is scared shitless, though calling him out on it will probably lead to him making it clear that it's not fear but rather cautiousness. He has an unmatched sense of pride for a kid his age and won't accept any arguments unless there is evidence to them. He may be at times extremely insensitive, sometimes unintentionally but most of the times not, and is a huge wisecracker, a habit which got him in trouble numerous times in the past. While his humor only served to piss others off for his own amusement in the past, after The Rising it evolved into a coping mechanism. He will often poke humor at himself at the absence of another human individual.

Since he is not quite informed of the outbreak and how the infection process works, Jonathan is very attentive and paranoid. However, because he doesn't have much experience living on his own, most of the actions he takes to prevent infections would have turned him into a reanimate by now (if he wasn't immune). He uses contaminated water to wash a scrub, which probably contains more bacteria than your usual reanimate. His paranoia also prevents him from having a good night's sleep. In spite of his flaws, Jonathan is still a human being capable of exuding love and all those heartwarming emotions. He loves Maverick, his dog, and would probably take a bullet for him even though that mongrel is as inept as a four-legged creature can be and often gets him in trouble. He also desires human interaction, something which he took for granted before The Rising happened.

High School Rumble! [open for applicants]

This is dead, isn't it?

Surviving: The End. (Season 1) (CLOSING, look for reboot!)

I have a friend coming over, and the fucker's planning to stay for at least two days, so I have to sacrifice all the time that I'd work on the CS in favor of being a good host. I hope that's okay.
