A crisis concerning bubblegum, that's for sure!

Hey, dudes! Remember this swingin' RP? Y'know, the one that was disorganized and I let die? It's totally going to be restarted! Hot damn!

Already confirmed that Jak and Shiney are up for it. They need to post their characters! Cho should also post his character if he's still game. Other people who want in can post characters, but aren't going to be guaranteed a spot. <p>

Lunked for Joy

And via the miracle of copy and paste...

Character Name: Renetta Evanson
Non-Knight Saber Occupation: Drifter (Currently Unemployed/Between Jobs)
Short Personality Description: While by no means emotionless, Ren is a fairly detached person, not being bothered by most things that come her way, good or bad. And if she is, she doesn't show it. She doesn't bother going to lengths to get to know people well, mainly because she's prone to leaving whatever place she's currently living in on impulse. Any relations she has with others is based on the need to socialise, along with her "hobby" of information collection.
If approached to become a Knight Saber, she'd probably jump on board because it's something new, as well the plethora of information that'd probably come with the job.
Background: Whether it was wanderlust or a short attention span that causes Ren to leave her home town, she's been a drifter ever since. She travels here and there, taking odd jobs anywhere between a few weeks and a few months before moving on again. Traveling all by herself, she's learned the basics of self preservation, and habitually carries a gun with her at all times, although it hasn't seen much use.
She hit LA with the intention with seeing what the big city was like, having heard talk of "earthquake reconstruction" and the masses of Boomers that went with it. She's settled in quite nicely, the car which she lives out of being moved about when needs demand so. She's also made a few friends from here and there, who she occasionally probes for scraps of rare or interesting info. Recently, she's been looking into the Knight Sabers operating in the city, and knows more than the average person.
Physical description: Stands at 5'7'', unkempt brown hair stretching about a third of the way down her back. Her range of clothing is hardly impressive, sticking with jeans and long sleeved t-shirt most of the time. Almost always has a cigarette hanging out of the corner of her mouth.
Major Skills: Information gathering, getting by on low amounts of cash.
Hardsuit Description: While she doesn't have one yet, if she were recruited she wouldn't be too bothered about what her suit was like. She would, however, make sure it had some sort of gun, and would casually ask for dark green "paint job."

BEHOLD, COPY/PASTE :O

Character Name: Samantha Branson
Occupation: Veterinarian
Short Personality Description: Samantha believes all life should be valued and respected. She's a very caring person, and slow to anger, but when she does loose her temper, she gets very nasty and rude.
Background: Samantha runs a pet hospital downtown. She takes all sorts of animals and is happy to fix them up for minimal fees. She was recruited when, on her way home from work one day, a Mad Boomer attacked and trapped a mother and her child. Samantha managed to distract the Boomer long enough for the mother and child to escape, and for the AD police to arrive. After seeing it on the news, Roldo decided to recruit her as the first Knight Saber.
Physical description: Short, with brown hair reaching the small of her back, green eyes, casual clothes
Major Skills: She has basic knoledge of human anatomy, knowing enough to patch up light wounds fairly easily, and moderate wounds with a little more effort. Her knoledge of anatomy, and her experiance as a Knight Saber help her to more effectively take out Mad Boomers, as she can descern weaknesses if given time to study it.
Hardsuit Description: A blue and white Hardsuit, looking similar to Nenes. She has a small area on the left leg where she carries an assortment of medical suppies(Just because they're protected by Hard Suits doesn't mean everyone is), and Katar-like blades in the wrists of the suit. <p>

Well. It seems that Cho is going to be woefully unavailable! This means that we'll need two people! We can start with one though. If you're interested, but don't have monies for the DVDs, then there's totally not that option that Jak presented but is totally illegal so you shouldn't do it. I'm sure he's going to remove the links anyways so he doesn't get banned from ezBoards, hint hint, nudge nudge. If you can't get that option that you shouldn't do anyways working properly, then I'm sure that Jak or I would be totally useless to you over IM, and would be of no help whatsoever getting the client working. <p>

F:Deth is correct, I am woefully unavailable to be able to get back into this RP. Much saddness abound. My guess this means you're startig a new one? Or are you totally continuing on from this one and going to gank my character for yourself? Or just shoot her in the head? BANG! <p><div style="text-align:center"> </div>

Restarting. Though the RP will probably still be running by the time you have internet! So, like, when you come back I could probably throw your character in. :O <p>

Not sure if this is still the case, but all PCs must be female. It'll make sense once you watch some of the series. Really.

Edit: This thread dead or sommat? Where's our marvelous GM with his mark of (dis)/approval?

No, it isn't dead. I just haven't had time to....well...do anything recently. D:

EDIT: Now that I have some time, I have apprehensions about Nev's character. Something doesn't sit right but I have no idea what it is. <p>

I have...a possible character idea.

More to come after I bug Jak about it.

EDIT: Behold! x1 LAPD officer. You can thank Jak for the length personality description. IT IS ALL HIS FAULT.

---

Name: Pamela Santiago, aka Pam

Age: 22

Occupation: Officer for the LAPD

Personality: Dedicated and loyal, Pamela is eager to fill her duties to "serve and protect". However, she occasionally suffers from bouts of insecurity about her abilities. She's a hard worker, though, and it seems unlikely that she'll give up any time soon.

Off the job, Pamela feels awkward and uncomfortable, not quite knowing what to do with herself. While she works well with others on the job (usually), she's pretty much a loner in other situations. As a result, most of her hobbies tend to involve athletic activities like jogging, lifting weights, or going to the gym. It serves as a good distraction, and she feels a great sense of pride in her physical fitness.

Speaking of which, she also feels a great sense of pride in personal skill and accomplishment...which leads to a dislike and discomfort with most machinery. She'll only use computers for work, she'll take a good jog around the track and a set of weights to the gym stairmaster, and she can't program a DVD player or a VCR for the life of her. Oh, and you can't forget those Boomers; those things are pretty creepy. Besides, whatever happened to good ol' fashion human ingenuity, eh? Those things are going to be the end of this city...

She will likely have a love/hate relationship with her hardsuit.

Motivation for Joining the Knights: To protect and to serve, mostly. She has a distrust of Boomers in general, and she dislikes being helpless against them.

Plus, as much as she hates to admit it, being part of the team would be one hell of an ego boost...not that she'd ever admit this to herself, mind.

Backstory: Pam has a lot to live up to, being the third person in her family to join the ranks of the LAPD. It's been a lifelong dream of hers to follow in the footsteps of her father and her grandfather (both competant officers in their own right), and she tries her best to live up to their reputations. However, being a fairly recent recruit, she still has a long ways to go.

Despite her lack of experience, she's recently had a runin with a rogue Boomer while on duty. Incapable of dealing with it on their own, she and her partner concentrated on evacuating civilians away from the destruction while calling for backup. But, before additional forces could arrive, she caught glimpses of the infamous Saber Knights defeating the mechanical monstrousity.

Curious about the turn of events, she's begun to do research on the vigilante group. Only time will tell what her search will lead her to...

Physical Appearance: Dark tan skin; brown eyes; dark brown hair in a short, boyish cut; medium height; muscular build; wears either her LAPD uniform or comfortable, practical clothes

Skills: High physical endurance and above average strength; highly skilled in unarmed combat; long distance running; above average firearms skill compared to the general populace, but no more advanced than your average police rookie; dodging phonecalls from worried and nagging mothers

Hardsuit: A dark gold and black suit, catered to physical combat (Ex, PAMELA PUNCH! and SANTIAGO STRIKE!). Has extra jets attached to the forearms, pointing back, to pack an extra punch in her punches. The hands are also built similar to "shock gloves", for attacks involving devastating electric grapples (grab a Boomer, electrocute it). <p>

Name: Ryumi Mezzo (Prefers to be called "Ryu")
Age: 24
Occupation: Fast Food Counter job. Ex-Security

Personality: Ryumi is, if anything, a rather straightforward type when it comes to solving problems, preferring to deal with it in the fastest way possible. She gets frustrated generally easily when stuck with something she can't quickly solve directly. This would leave her, if anything, with front-up work more often than not. She additionally prefers more "masculine" activities, namely FPS games and the occasional trip to a riflery range, and even prefers to be called by "Ryu", instead of "Ryumi". Her motivation for joining the Knight Sabers is vengeance of a sort; vengeance against both boomers and mad boomers for getting her stuck with...fast food. The money doesn't hurt at all, either.

Backstory: Ryumi, well, was better off then than she is now, anyway. Before she got to fast food and all that, she was originally in a security guard position at an unnamed factory. Nonetheless, given how chance in this world works, it just so happened that a boomer went rogue while she was on-duty. Being as direct as she is, Ryumi tried to kill it or at least hold it off while evacuation procedures went as per normal. Being (un?)lucky as she is, she got her ass whomped in a very short timespan. Luckily, she lived long enough for the Knight Sabers to get there and deal with it. Unluckily, she was hospitalized for a while for countless broken bones and other internal and external injuries.

Of course, by bad luck, perhaps, the company she was working for decided that since she was going to be out for so long that it was going to be a hindrance to security to an extent, they instead replaced her with a Boomer. Of course, like just about anyone, she wasn't happy to say the least when she did hear of the bad news. Laid-off, and with an apartment and medical bills to pay for, Ryumi had to find a job. Anything that paid money was good, but it seemed as if everywhere she looked, the position was filled, at times with Boomers. Frustrated, she took the first job she could find; that being the job at a fast food joint...at the counter, even. So now Ryumi's stuck with "service with a smile"...though it usually takes a bit extra for the smile. And she doesn't blame anything but Boomers for her current situation...

Physical Description: Ryumi is of average height; about 5'4", and has a generally muscular build. Her features and long, black hair suggest Asian descent, and she generally prefers to wear men's clothing, even demanding men's uniforms at both her old security job, and the current fast-food <s>hell</s> job.

Skills: Being very direct, VERY good twitch skills and hand-eye coordination given her expertise at FPS games and some time at a shooting range. Decent skill with a gun for the latter reason as well. Generally strong. Not being too fat for a hardsuit. General security guard stuff. Working long, boring hours. Putting up with fast food work. Service with a smile half the time.

Hardsuit: Ryu's hardsuit in question is primarily purple in color, with some red to accentuate it in particular spots, and the head of which is a bit more streamlined and adorned with a short "fin" on top. On the right arm is attached a high-caliber "rifle", with the weapon being able to be turned around, the back end usable as a blunt-impact melee weapon. When engaged, the rifle fires a special set of high-caliber, ultra-high penetration Anti-Boomer rounds; one shot is typically preloaded in the barrel of the weapon, three more in a special holding receptacle in the left arm. To compensate for recoil, especially with the top-heavy design of the hardsuits, a set of retractable anchoring claws in the feet of the suit have been equipped. These claws can effectively dig into other surfaces, including Boomers, if so needed to obtain proper firing stability. <p>ChibiUrusai: *chomps* I am underage. ^-^

Your mother tried to show me all the laser crabs!

There appears to be some kind of RP there. Try not to break it.

PS: Smo's character is up for an interview, in case there was any confusion. <3

PPS: The fun starts when everyone is there, so feel free to piling in. Pretty much "walking in the door" would work. :( <p>
