Lemmings' Mistake (A Red Vs Blue interest and recruiting thread)

Location
Glasgow
"It is an undeniable, and may I say fundamental quality of man, that when faced with extinction, every alternative is preferable"-Dr Leonard Church
Director of Project Freelancer.
--------------------
Dear Dr Lemmings
It has come to my attention that a valuable smart AI by the name of 'Zeus' has recently been transferred from your department via unknown means at 23:47 on the date of 12/12/2547, authorisation for this transfer has not been given nor has any request for such been received within the last two months, Dr Lemmings, if you do not discover exactly what happened and where this AI has been sent, there will be dire consequences, for you and your department.
Dr Consence
Head researcher of 'The Titans Rod'.

Dr lemming stared blankly at the computer screen in front of him, head still aching from a hangover, the results of last nights celebration, Dr Florence had just retired after a good sixty years in the department.

He knew they would get blackout drunk but for someone to do this? and they spilt beer all over the computer he suspects it was sent from, the thing is irreparable at this point, so they can't even find out where it was sent to. He would never tell anybody but judging by how he woke up next to said computer, he was likely the one who transferred 'Zeus'

He was so screwed...

-------------------

Dr Church was a complex man who felt many complex emotions and thoughts at almost all times, this was not one of those times, Dr Church had just received an *email* of all things, he didn't even recall that service being active within the last 34 years, not after the Virginia incident.

Yet here he was, looking at an email that could not have been real, because here in front of him was the second AI he had almost given up all hope on receiving and a large sum of money for 'recruiting purposes' but even just a quick glance at the AI revealed a number of minor issues that being transferred through an outdated and almost unknown messaging service provided, it was not unlike what would happen if someone yanked out the cord when uploading a dumb AI to a computer system.

Alpha appeared suddenly at the shoulder of the Doctor looking over at the AI's code, even as it too appeared sensing the arrival of another like it, "something tells me this was not supposed to happen" the Doctor remarks, his mind already thinking of dozens of new plans even as he begins to plan on a new subdivision of the current Freelancers in his roster and he had just the person in mind to run it.

------------------------

Hello, this is a Red vs Blue Rp this thread is currently an interest check and recruiting thread, this rp is likely to be run on discord but can be run on Sufficient velocity if players would prefer.

The players will be taking the roles of a subdivision of project freelancer, think of the canon freelancers as the elites while the players are the above average soldier, the players will be doing freelancer missions and operations that, while of slightly less importance, are still important to the future of the project
------------------------
Rules include:
1) don't godmod, no auto hits, no auto-dodge, except against single goons, goons aren't people.

2) Try not to kill another Player

3) if you use a picture at any time, please spoiler it.

4) Please, no straight up murder hobos have a little pizazz every now and then.

5) put the word puma in the bio somewhere so I know you read these.

6) the Gm is god and their word is law, also this will become AU on a massive scale over time but for now, everything is still mostly canon.

7)Do try and post a couple of times a week at least, and do tell if you will be mia for a while.

8) Project freelancer accepts all kind of people but psychopaths beware, the scientist is worse.
---------------------

The player sheet for applicants should look something like this.

Character Name: just their normal name

Code name: State Capitals, (states are too good for you) the New York capital City is forbidden though

Age: be reasonable

Appearance: what they look like, including armour

Short bio: a bit of backstory

Preferred Loadout: Primary, secondary, explosives, if you want an alien weapon you only get one as long as its reasonable.

Best and worst skills: obvious.

Greatest fear: what makes them a scaredy cat.

Quirks: From snapping their fingers when nervous to sleepwalking, to even telling knock knock jokes, why are they unique?

Biggest strength and flaw: be your best and worst.

Preferred type of upgrade: Combat, support or utility (these will not be given for a short while and will be decided for you, chose one of the three options given)

Placeholder, this looks like it's going to be fun
 
I'll throw my hat in this, always liked the fight scenes in early Red vs Blue

Character Name: Adrian Carmine
Gender: Male
Code name: Miami
Age: 25
Appearance:
Hair/Facial Hair Color: Brown
Hair/Fair Hair Type: Short and Shaggy with Chinstrape Moustache/Goatee combo
Eye Color: Grey
Skin Color: Slighty tan
Short bio:
When you can't find a job because the market either doesn't cater to your needs or your just plain unlucky where do you turn? That's right the Military! Training, Industry, and Connections. What more could you ask for!?

That was the banner Adrian had seen when he made his decision to join up as a freelancer, mainly for the chance of employment that actually paid well. He would join up straight out of college at the age of 22 and spend most of his time doing basic training, low level grunt work, driving, dealing with those who invoked the wrath of Murphy and the consequences, skirmishes in which he became incredilbly fond of the pump action stopping power of a 8 guage, and more driving.

His craziest moment was with a game of chicken with Brute driven ghost. It had happened just after his convoy got hit by an enemy ambush. He was supposed to retreat to a pre-designated rally point, but when that Brute flashed it's Ghost's front lights, he knew it was on. He jumped into the nearest vehicle, a mongoose, and played the game. It ended with a wrecked mongoose, a dead Brute, a pilfered but damaged ghost, and new sidearm. After that, he would put in for a set of EOD parts for his armor after one too many explosions went off near his convoy that day, because hey explosive resistant armor is allways a plus. Probably should put in for ordinance training in the future though.

Preferred Loadout:
M90 Shotgun
Type 25 Spiker
M9 High Explosive Fragmentation Grenade

Best and worst skills:
Best: Driving (Can drive for hours while sleep deprived)
Worst: Hacking (Accidentally thumbs over every alarm key without realizing it)

Greatest fear: Spiders (Can't stand the way they walk.)

Quirks:
- Tends to be superstitious and either shoots people scowls or plainly asks them what were they thinking when they utter anything remotely close to the phrase, "What can possibly go wrong."
- Claims ownership of any radio and its music that is in a vehicle that he is driving, No exception.

Biggest strength and flaw:
Strength: Willing to lend a hand when needed
Flaw: He expects others to get on the job as quickly as possible and this can cause others to thinks he's an ass.

Preferred type of upgrade: Combat

Also for the sake of the GM I will recite a line from the the greatest song about Puma's. Hmph Hmph

"Puma Man,
he flies like a moron,
in the air,
in front of a greenscreen."

Character Name:Michelle Santiago.
Code name: Baton Rouge.
Age: 31
Appearance:
Short bio: Corporal Santiago is the lone survivor of her regiment. She was found within a large pile of rubble in an overrun position on Ballast in the last days of the Covenant assault. It would seem that the regiment was ambushed by Elite utilizing Active Camo. They manage to kill the majority of her unit before the survivors barricaded themselves in an inner room. Corporal Santiago was not with that group and at the time was unaware of their existence and acting on Broken puma Arrow Protocols dropped the entire structure on both herself, The Elites, And the Survivors. She did this with a surprisingly small amount of C-12 and while being hunted by Elite patrols.
Preferred Loadout: M392 DMR, M319 Grenade Launcher, 3 C-12 Shaped Charges.
Best Worst skills: Demolitions and Sabotage. CQC.
Greatest fear: Ghosts.
Quirks: has been known to wire trip mines to her quarter's main door. Doesn't like it when people are behind her. Hums marching songs when nervous.
Biggest strength and flaw: Agent Baton Rouge has shown to be able to Survive scenarios that would kill most through a combination of grit, paranoia, and a self preservation instinct that some would call overly developed. Unfortunately, she has also shown to be somewhat overly paranoid in testing she was the first to use her heavy equipment to prevent capture and would go for some of the more... extreme methods.
Preferred type of upgrade: Utility​

Character Name: Michael Nobel

Code name: Frankfort

Age: 27

Appearance:

Short bio: Michael was born to a military family consisting of an ex-Military commander father and a Drill Sargent Mother, needless to say, his early years in life were full of rules, overbearing parents and forceful directions to succeed, to say the least, he ignored all of that and barely passed high school he even got into a fist fight with a teacher the students called 'the puma'.

After the total failure that was his life's education and the comparison to his older sister who was already on her way to becoming a commander of her own vessel in the UNSC Navy, Michael was all but forced into conscripting.

During basic training, the trainers took note of his outstanding Marksmanship scores and he was quickly put into testing and eventually training to become an elite sniper for the UNSC, he Wasnt the best in the business, far from it but he was one of the best and had one of the highest success rates.

Eventually, when he was offered to work in a special program to help the future of mankind he refused as he still had much work to do but eventually, times became rough and he was offered once more to join the special program, this time he accepted.

Preferred Loadout: customised SRS99-AM Sniper Rifle, including a much better scope for long range and aP slightly increased and capacity.
M6D Personal Defence Weapon System

Best and worst skills:
best: Marksmanship, he has killed a man from over three miles away using a sniper and equipment specially made for that specific shot.
worst: stealth, he never really needed to learn this when he didn't need to be within a mile of his target for most of his shots.

Greatest fear: Water, Cats and children,

Quirks: Constant sleepwalker, makes jokes or small talk when nervous.
Biggest strength and flaw:
Strength: patient enough to camp in a tree for a month to get the perfect shot.
Flaw: Lazy, they always try and do the least possible work.

Preferred type of upgrade: Support

Character Name: William Kresnik

Code Name: Sacramento

Age: 28

Appearance:

Short Bio: William Kresnik is an orphan. He grew up not knowing who his parent were. As an orphan on the street, William had to look out for himself and survive. This didn't stop him from looking for a place to belong. He would soon find this place when he joined the UNSC. While in the military, he honed his skills as a close-combat artist. He was known as the "Puma" of the ODSTs. He was fierce and an unstoppable force that shouldn't be trifled with.

This brought him into the focus of the Freelancer program. A freelancer had taken notice of him and asked if he wanted to join him. William agreed and was christened with the name Sacramento. He would soon find out that being a low class freelancer was nothing in comparison to the elites. This would drive to him to become better, stronger and faster in order to be one of the elite.

Preferred Loadout:
M45 Tactical Shotgun
M6H Personal Defense Weapon System
Plasma Grenade

Best Skill: Hand to Hand Combat (Registered Lethal Weapons)
Worst Skill: Driving (Seriously, don't let him drive.)

Greatest Fear: Drowning

Quirks: Sleep Fighter (Is Known to throw punches while sleeping)

Strength: Fighting Prodigy (Is able to perform and defend against many types of fighting styles)
Flaw: Battle Frenzy ( When in battle, he focuses on nothing but the fight. Ignoring all orders and teammates, putting them in danger)

Preferred Type of Upgrade: Combat
 
This is not a bad group. Good mix of specialties and weapons. Might be nice to get a "Heavy" weapons guy with an Saw and a Launcher or anyone with an automatic weapon. But, worst comes to worst I can grab an Assault rifle.
 
Well, it's been a few days since this has been put up and I have gotten 4 sheets so far, I'll give it another 24 hours for any more to appear then go over the current ones but at a glance.

Atma the capital of New York is not allowed, see my smile I say go over the rules, and shadow just needs to finish their appearance, Cross is fine.

Ah, yeah sorry... it's there now.

I'll switch to Miami then. I think I know the reason behind my mistake. When I read the chracter sheet I saw this....

New York capital City

By that I meant you were referring NYC not Albany. Mind focused solely on the New York City bit and not capital. Will fix.
 
Well, it's been 24 hours, every sheet so far is officially accepted now, @Hyvelic are you still interested in playing? And for the current players, would you prefer this to be run on sv or on discord? I can do either but discord is a bit easier to manage multiple concurrent plotlines.
 
Tbh I forgot about this, I'd love to normally but shits come up elsewhere with my personal projects. If you need a player I can make a sheet when I get home but as of right now I'm forced to hold off >.<
 
I was going to wait for more people to post but that is seeming unlikely.

It's fine, real life always comes first after all.
I'd prefer SV personally.
Noted!

@Atma Warrior @See my smile @shadow shinobi @CrossGomer
I'm thinking on starting the game up on the 9th/two days from now to coincide with season 17 of red vs blue being aired, which is a rather fortunate coincidence because I didn't actually know about that till after I made this, any objections?
 
I'm sorry to say that this may be delayed a bit due to me falling ill, not by long only a day or two but it is a delay none the less.

Seeing as I do want to try and take part in this while it's open for submissions, here's mine!

Character Name: Kellie Taylor

Code name: Lansing

Age: 24

Appearance:

Short bio: Taylor was a relatively accomplished hacker and locksmith, working as an anonymous source to the highest bidder. She tended to track down the information of military projects and give them out for a hefty sum. One day, Project Freelancer tracked her down, and offered her a job (and not going to jail). It was an offer she couldn't refuse.

Preferred Loadout: MAK5 Carbine for missions with expected major combat, two M6K handguns otherwise

Best Skills: Hacking, breaking-and-entering/lockpicking, espionage

Worst Skills: Sniping, Explosives

Greatest fear: Dying

Quirks: Has always called the Warthog a Puma. It just feels more fitting to her. She is also rather self-aggrandizing, overhyping things she has done in the past to make herself seem cooler.

Biggest Strength: Quick-thinking

Biggest Flaw: Arrogance

Preferred type of upgrade: Utility
 
Wait what? I hate my notification system right now.
 
You should plug your work, add it to your signature.
@Dancelord

And yes, I did just crash into your RP, deal with it.
Rather you have unauthorized activity, then none at all.
If you don't have a defibrillator, use a car battery.

I didn't mean to be an asshole with this quote, just show some authority.
