Michael McBride Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Alright, so here is the premise. Key West (Oculus for my nation) will be the testing group for the world's special forces against a zombie outbreak. These zombies will be in the form of Left 4 Dead zombies (1, no L4D2 ones yet), so regular hordes with the five specials. I will act as the Director. I'll provide an urban map for your teams (possibly a L4D map itself), with waypoints to get from one end to the other. This is non-canon, so they can die and you don't have to worry about it. This is just a chance for everyone to participate in a combat oriented character RP. Teams will be no more than five members. You can have as few as one, though they won't survive long. Each team will do each stage and then move on to the next. Casualties for the zombies and your team will be based on quality and detail of the RP, as well as tactics, etc. So, anyone interested, please fill out the form below. Team Name: Operative 1: Operative 2: Operative 3: Operative 4: Operative 5: Feel free to provide as much or as little description about them as you like. I only ask that you also list the equipment they will have with them, as that will be all (unless I decide to throw in some nice things along the way). So, have at it.

Markus Wilding Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Would I be able to use characters that have a nationality different from my nation? If so, then... Team Name: Survivors of Shi No Numa Operative 1: "Tank" Dempsy Weapons: Colt M1911, BAR, Knife Bio: Tank Dempsey: American hero. Give him a loaded weapon, a good woman, and something to shoot at and he's happy. Cross him and he'll rip your guts out and use them as a bandolier. Dempsey was selected for this mission after he showed his true grit at the battle for Peleliu. His unit was captured during the early raids before the main invasion, and he spent 2 weeks in a rat infested bamboo cage submerged in malarial water. Eventually, he gnawed his way through the cage, and then gnawed his way through his captors armed only with a Bobby pin and his Medal of Honor which he keeps secreted in various body cavities. There is no before the war for Dempsey, there is no after. There is only the legend of Tank Dempsey, and how he won the war for the rest of us. Leaving behind a wake of destruction and meat sacks wherever he goes, Dempsey is the man to have on your side when faced with an undead apocalypse. Motto: "I'm gonna rip a hole in that freakbag" Operative 2: Takeo Masaki Weapons: Nambu, Type 100, Katana Bio: Tattooed on the inside of Takeo's eyelids is the Japanese proverb "Life is light when compared to honor". For Takeo, life has no meaning if not to perfect one’s discipline and to reveal a warrior's true character and honor. He ponders this and other philosophical questions as his Katana slices through the flesh and sinew of his enemy. Takeo was born into wealth. His family dynasty dates back several centuries, and throughout that time they have been highly decorated Samurai and Bushi. Takeo is no exception to this celebrated bloodline. When the family first saw the young, life-filled 5 year old Takeo playing in the street with his Katana and slicing the tails off of kittens, they knew he was destined to bring honor to the Masaki name. The war was a perfect opportunity for Takeo to explore his bloodlust and study the nature of those less honorable than himself. If you fall victim to his swift action and might, know that you have helped a man better than you reach enlightenment. Operative 3: Nikolai Belinski Weapons: Tokarev TT-33, PPSh-41, Knife Bio: Stalin himself cannot stare Nikolai in the eye, no one can. For in his eyes you see the soul of a man burning with a hatred of all things living. His closet is full of skeletons, many of them with the flesh still attached. Before the war, Nikolai quickly made his way up through the party ranks by killing the next man in line, and by marrying politically. His aspirations all came crashing down after his fifth wife mysteriously died while cleaning Nikolai's axe with her neck. Little did he know that she had been sleeping with a high ranking party official on the side. After her tragic demise, Nikolai's reputation spread quickly through the party, and it wasn't long before Stalin himself had heard about the psychopathic politician who killed anything that came within 5 feet of him. As soon as the war started, Nikolai was dropped at the front line and forgotten about, where he wallowed in self pity and Vodka for several years. With many weapons in his arsenal, not least of which is his breath, Nikolai Belinski can look death in the eye and say "I know you". Operative 4: Doctor Rictofen Weapons: Walther P-38, MG42, Knife Bio: Beware The Doc. This message was scrawled across walls of every Prisoner of War camp under Axis control. Starvation may cripple you, dysentery may wreck you, and gunfire may rip the flesh from your bones, but Beware The Doc. Meet Dr. Richtofen, known affectionately as The Butcher to his victims as they scream in agony moments before he snuffs out their light. Throughout his career, Richtofen has always been at the forefront of torture and information extraction research. Before the war he was a back alley plastic surgeon, who created an army of monstrous affluent Weimar socialites that would follow him around and laugh at every joke the genius doctor made. This all fell apart when the republic fell and the Nazi party took control. To Richtofen, their values were too moral, too liberal for his liking. He joined the army so he could satisfy his need to watch people die, slowly. An incurable sociopath, he sees no moral distinction between natural death and murder. The victim is the victim, regardless of how their demise manifests itself. He has a collection of stuffed animals, most of them posed in positions of terror at the instant of their death.

Executive Minister Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Op1: Katrina Michaelson Weapons: NMI Sentinel: Suppressed Marksman Version with 9.55 SAPHE rounds, NMI Patron .400 pistol with SAPHE rounds, Ballistic Combat knife with spare blades, NMI 'Eviscerator' Close-In Weapons System Bio: Quick and agile, Kat is a trained 'Fate Team' Assassin. Well versed in Knife dueling, Sambo, Judo, Kyokushin kaikan, Jujutsu, and demolitions/sabotage, this lady is no one to be trifled with. Zombies will be hard pressed to pin down and bite her, as her fluid evasion movements followed by precisely aimed knife strikes are as deadly as they are beautiful to watch. Normally tasked with assassination, kidnapping, sabotage and other forms of subterfuge, Katrina is now tasked with obtaining and retrieving a sample of the deadly virus that has caused the dead to walk again... Op2: Janus Oshibutu Weapons: NMI 'Torrent' 9.55mm machine gun (about m60 sized), NMI 'Piercer' Silenced PDW firing .400 SAPHE, Sharpened Entrenching Tool Bio: Towering over the battlefield, this Native Ethiopian warrior is the source of hails of lead that allies turn to when crowd control is desperately needed. His large frame belies his kind demeanour, but he is not past beheading the enemy with his trusty shovel. Ops 3,4,5: Elite Cadre Cell Weapons: NMI 'Ripper' automatic rifle firing 7.62 x54 FMJ-API specialist incendiary rounds w/ underslung 40mm grenade launcher x2, NMI Sentinel: Suppressed Carbine Version firing 9.55 SAPHE rounds w/ underslung 12 ga shotgun mount x1, NMI 'Piercer' Silenced PDW firing .400 SAPHE x2, NMI Patron .400 pistol with SAPHE rounds x 1, NMI 'Eviscerator' Close-In Weapons System x 3 and 'Scorpion Sting' mods for primary weapons x 3 Bio: This trio serves as the best-of-the-best the NoN can offer in terms of (OOC: red shirts) non-specialist manpower. These Elite Cadre infantry are the forefront of the NoN's military might. Well-versed in brutal melee combat mixed with superior marksmanship and physical and mental conditioning, these men are the perfect avatars for their Nation's calculated brutality and sadism. One only needs to look at past accounts from traumatized UMS soldiers returning from the front: [1], [2] to see how deadly these men are in combat.

Zarfef Posted July 25, 2009 Report Share Posted July 25, 2009 (edited) OOC: Hmm... non-cannon RP, sounds like fun! Team Name: Kaligraphic Operative 1: Dr. Evans Dr. Evans is an expert on Zombie population growth modelling the differential equations and systems growth via modified logistic equations that take into account zombie population growth and evacuation and shot-gun loss parameters. He is single-handedly (because he pecks at the keyboard instead of types) responsible for the seminal paper on zombie population growth as shown here. http://www.tensor-industries.com/PAPERS/Zombies.pdf The papers results proved that zombie growth within the first 10-15 hours acted as the critical component for calculating the net outcome of the disaster and if stopped early on, the zombie threat could be quickly removed. He is also responsible for a host of new anti-zombie weapons, which the team will be fielding and testing. Equipment: Brains perfume (It's perfume, that smells like brains!) and a flame-thrower, walkie-talky, basic toolkit and soldering gun. Operative 2: Shinji Blackbeard Born in a strange love affair between the greatest ninja leader in the world (Mom) and the greatest pirate the seas had ever known (Dad) he knows a bit of both worlds, using harr as his kyai and wielding a shuriken firing blunderbuss and a pirate sword forged by the great Japanese katana artisans. He wears a dark ninja suit with a pirate patch over one eye. He has a talking parrot that might as well be as intellent as another team member and can oddly communicate fully for the price of a cracker (the bird's name is Poly) he carries a package of crackers I might add. Operative 3: Ziggy It's Ziggy, the poor character I end up throwing into more trouble then I ever really should . Ziggy is armed with a laptop computer with satellite internet access, a small machine gun with extra clips, a crow bar and a small grappling hook... He has the lightest load of everyone and can run, climb or jump through situations the fastest in the group (which would normally be expected of Shinji but his father's DNA proved less useful in that area). The cost of this however is that he is practically is badly under-armored as Kairi, but at least he's not dressed in a bright pink and yellow clothing... although blue, black and grey was only a slightly better choice. has a cell-phone Operative 4: Kairi A small cute love-interest girl about Ziggies age that isn't really a part of the operative team (They only sent four members) but was found once the Zombies were released and... well they couldn't just leave her there... she had a shot-gun after all! Why she was dragging a shot-gun around in the first place was a good question to begin with but... yes. She is and under-armored character with a shot-gun and the team decided to drag her along. also has a cell-phone Operative 5:Ryuken Storm A power-player of the real world, he has muscles built like stone pillars and an understanding of several martial arts, two heavy machine guns and one rocket launcher on his back, several grenades and heavy body armor. He would be an excellent addition to the team.... if he could actually move. Edited July 25, 2009 by Zarfef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acca Dacca Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 All will have this: http://www.kmnw.co.uk/images/recon/Tactical_vest1.jpg Operative 1: Captain Sam MacKay Bushmaster, Type 97S Pistol, 9mm Submachine Gun Operative 2: Lieutenant Jake Conti Bushmaster, Type 97S Pistol, BENELLI M4 SUPER90 SHOTGUN Operative 3: Sergeant Joseph Gunter Bushmaster, Type 97S Pistol, SILENCED HK MP5 Operative 4: Private Sean Avery Bushmaster, Type 21S Pistol, G36k Operative 5: Private Thomas J. H. Trapnell Bushmaster, Type 21S Pistol, UMP45 They will be losing a member shortly, or they will have a mission in search of this Operative 6. I do not know how I will play it out Operative 6: Marksman Matthew B.

Zarfef Posted July 26, 2009 Report Share Posted July 26, 2009 OOC: While I have characters with heavy body armor... I should note that modern body armor is better suited for stopping bullet then blunt attacks. You'd be better off in a mideval suit of armor then Kevlar to my understanding, which is why I left my main characters without any to begin with... it only slows you down and makes it harder to move. http://operationhomecoming.com/do-bulletpr...lunt-trauma.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
