American Contracts: Sign-Ups

[High Hopes]

Date: January 1st, 2009
To: Esteemed Mercenary
From: Jason Reinaus
Subject: You've been selected.

Body:

Hello. I'm Jason Reinaus. I'm sending you this E-Mail because you have been selected to recieve a special offer. And because my assistant was out today, it was actually written by me.

You may know me from my great career in the WWE, my great career in NASCAR, or my great mercenary career. Man, I'm great. Regardless, you should know that you have been selected as part of the talent initiation program in the mercenary group I own, American Contracts, namely as part of the Special Forces team.

We here at American Contracts are an esteemed group, but we can't always tackle them on our own, so we occasionally(emphasis on occasionally) approach mercenaries like you for assistance. You will get more details when you arrive here, should you choose to accept. You will be compensated with a portion of whatever the contract pays(We can't disclose that here), and an offer for a permanent contract with us.

If you are interested, return this E-Mail with some basic information about yourself. We will cover the expenses of the trip over here to our base here outside of Reno, Nevada. We will give you more mission details once you arrive here.

Sincerely,
Jason Reinaus

Story: As you may have gathered by the above "E-Mail", this is a modern RP about mercenaries. You are playing people who have decided to join this mercenary team of Jason's.

As the story progresses, the RP gets stranger, with strange occurrences, and stranger characters. Science fiction will be introduced about half-way through/

Name: Ryan
Nick-name: Rye
Age: 21
Hometown: -Unknown-
Appearance: Tall, black trenchcoat that falls to his shins, Black Hair, tattoos on one arm of dragons.
Personality: Dead Serious, although has been known to joke from time to time.
Career/s: Employed to the highest bidder, no job is too dangerous for Ryan.
Brief History: After Graduating from the Top Military school in the world, he set his sights on improving himself in every way possible. From Stamina to Stealth, from Aim to speed, he has pushed himself to all of his physical limits.

Several years ago, in a challenge match of the best assassins in the world, he beat the previous world record of six and a half days to find and terminate the target with an astounding 18.5 hours from Starting shot to his finishing one...
Favorite Weapon: Multi-threaded AKR-9 Assault rifle.
This weapon is as versatile as a swiss army knife. It can be easily switched from a long-range sniper rifle to an assault rifle, and from that to a RPG launcher, without having to take it all apart. He also carries several Weighted throwing knives in his boots, a large piston in his shoulder holster, and an assortment of other things in a backpack that he carries everywhere.
Method of Transportation/s: A Land Hummer. Not the kind that sell for hundreds of thousands at a nice car dealership, but the kind that the army uses. This hummer was specially rigged up by himself and contains everything that any professional assassin needs for any job.

Name: Vincent d'Enfer
Nick-name: Vince
Age: 36
Hometown: Paris, France
Appearance: 5'7", long black hair, one solid white eye (blind), one light blue, left hand missing a ring finger, black pants, black sleeveless shirt, black coat, necklace of a snake eating it's own tail (Ouroboros, Infinity, whatever)
Personality: Vincent takes his life very seriously, but his missions are like games. They are the only thing he feels he has control over, and so they are like truly living.
Career/s: Legal: International Bounty Hunter, Illegal: Assassin
Brief History: Vincent was an orphan at an early age. He was given the last name d'Enfer ("of Hell") by his caretaker, a Nun who would have rather raised the devil than Vincent. When he turned twelve Vincent witnessed a murder, but it didn't really affect him. He soon discovered that killing wasn't very hard for him (I'll keep the 'why' a surprise, if that's okay...), and so eventually found himself among assassins in England. He learned to be stealthy and efficient, and was working on his own by the age of twenty three. He does bounty hunting for the French and English governments in order to gain access to information most assassins wouldn't ordinarily have.
Favorite Weapon: Mental Abuse (does this count? It isn't really physical, but simply using the target's fears, beliefs, etc., basically mental torture)
Method of Transportation/s: Walking, driving small cars, whatever he can get his hands on.

Hope that's sufficient.

 

[High Hopes]

Awesome. There's a perfect opportunity for you to start RPing right now.

 

[OS]

Good character to compete with Jason. You're free to post your intro. Post an intro, in the form of a Cell Phone call, or something similar. Could do a sneak entrance, but Kraft already did that, so it would be redundant.

Also, I'd recommend you change the weapon from a handgun to something a little bigger. A sniper rifle's accuracy is dependent on the barrel length, and a machine gun would be next to impossible to integrate into a pistol. Perhaps a built-in handgun that can be detached would be a good idea.

 

[Kraft]

Actually, if you cant figure a place to come in, you could take the place of Garrett (read my latest, really long post)

I could change the name and give control over the character to you if you want... (I was planning on just adding garrett to my personal party, (it would be him and Ryan) and controlling him because I thought it would be cool, but eh, whatever ^_^

 

[mmm11105]

I'd rather play my own character

@Tommy the cat
It's a high tech next gen handgun. Electromagnets are used to make sure the bullet leaves the gun perfectly straight and uses a special mini-bullet designed to fly perfectly straight and a tiny tip to  increase piercing strengh. Special high tech mini motors and coolers allow the gun to fire quite fast in return for loosing the electromagnet. Taser & Grappling Hook are mountable attachments for the top of the gun. Mini-bullets can be switched to mini rockets for rocket launcher use.

Here's my intro
As Vlaconi was transferring government funds to his account his backpack computer beeped. A VoiP call was incoming, he wired it through his speaker system and a voice came over the phone. "I have a job for you. I pays quite well." "Keep your money. I can get money on demand" responded Vlaconi. "I'm looking for mercenaries" responded the voice. "You got yourself a mercenary. I'll send you a link to a secure server where you can upload mission info"

Any idea when I can slip in???

EDIT: Made a drawing of the gun (Really Quick)

When we land. Also, who's that voice talking? It isn't Jason or any PC's is it?

Decent drawing.

 

[Gmanjudo]

I see your game is pretty far in, but would it still be possible for me to join?

 

[Kraft]

most likely... just read the latest post.

We are at the airport right now, ask Tommy and he could possibly introduce you.
Either that, or I could... ^_^

Or, you could even just join in and make a good intro from whatever point in the story we are at ^_^

I am pretty sure it would be alright... *looks at tommy*

 

[High Hopes]

You can join at any time G-Man. If you're still interested, post your character sheet and I'll tell you when a good time to join would be.

 

[Gmanjudo]

Alright, I'll get working on a bio for my join-ee may take a bit though, cause I am GMing another RP, as well as joining another.

 

[mmm11105]

When is a good time for me to join??

 

[Kraft]

read the above messages between G-man, tommy and myself.

As soon as you post your character bio here in this topic, you are free to begin anywhere.

Just wait before posting until either tommy or myself reads your bio.  We could open a spot for you (cue your entrance and then wait for you ^_^) in the next post or something ^_^

 

[High Hopes]

A good time to post your intro would be after Jason and Ryan meet face to face for their epic briefing...OF DOOM.

 

[Gmanjudo]

Alright... sick day from school. Time for vast expanse of reading to catch up on the story. Here it goes. Then I'll post up my chara
