Night then Tophat. See you around.

I laughed too hard at the 'Lord Wiking' thing.

For those of you out-of-the-know, an old nickname of mine for the character is 'Overlord Wiking', so that was a great moment for me.

You want to work on the Ludwig angel while we have time to kill and nothing is really happening?

You mean, have my character hire you ICly, or hash out the details OOCly?

I think it would be best t work it out oocly to add a bit of story,

[New Kratopolis]

It's not much of a problem. I still need to establish Logan as an actual character as well. I won't start the whole war thing until later, when Logan has had enough time to prepare.

As a Co-OP, here's my stance. Later in the RP, I expect some big things to happen. Reading through the IC I see (heh, pun) a lot of interesting possible story arcs. But think of this as any story. There needs to be build up and a believable chain of events that lead up to it. So I would kindly ask that you make sure you jump right into terror. I think that's what you were going for, but still.

Now, if you give a believable build up and plan, that you can totally take down an MC. I just wish it was Sinopec.

^This.

I'm not wanting massive changes to happen too quickly, unless you give a believable build up to it. I want this RP to be run like a story. It should have a good story-line, side-plots, character development, things of that nature. Yes, our characters will ultimately do some pretty bad-ass stunts. However, bad-assery isn't the primary goal here. Rather, to create a good, and fun story is our primary goal.

Hence why I have a low-level NYC cop character, who's not gonna be doing much bad-assery at all for quite some time.

Alright. I'll keep things slow, before treading into the big one. Thanks for the advice.
Anything other suggestions pertaining to my character? Maybe some questions?

I'll probably put a post in the IC tonight or some other time this week.

Alright then. So does Ludwig receive offered directly, or is there a process to contact him? Also, what is his usual fee?

Ludwig usually likes to do things face to face. It's more personal that way, he likes the more personal touch if your willing to meet with him he knows he who to hate if he's betrayed. The fee is usually either 1,500 -2000 credits or Somthing he wants in return like tech

[Finland SSR]

Character App

Name: Maria Anastasna Zhukova

Age: 16

Body Form: Original Human

Gender, Sex, and Sexuality: Female, female, and bisexual. This forum is starting to have an impact on my sanity.
 
Personality: Maria is the only thing that still keeps her adoptive father from going full-out madman and destroying every nation and person in sight, being the last thing he still has an emotional affection to. Sincere, empathic and selfless, she is a nigh-complete opposite of the calculative, cold hearted and pragmatic Anastas, but despite their emotional differences, she has a lot of respect for her father and almost never tries to challenge his beliefs. She isn't that interested in politics or economics, but is often a check on her father that gets him to rethink his choices - maybe there is a less bloody way?

Skills:
Gifted Scholar: Maria's talents in the sciences and scholarly disciplines, most notably mathematics and physics, were obvious ever since she was a little child. She mastered differential calculus as young as the age of 12! And was already helping out the scientists at the High-Tech Insitute at that time! Seeing these wicked talents in his daughter, Anastas planned to take her out of private school and send her to specialized teachers in hopes of refining these capabilities even further, but these ideas were stopped by Maria, who preferred to stay with the classmates she still likes.

Faction: Russian Corporate Federation

Occupation: Heiress to the "Ratrit" mega-corporation, as well as to the Russian Empire Federation

Starting Location: Moscow, Russia

Bio: Maria's biological parents are unknown. She carried out DNA tests for finding them herself - the Psy-Database had no match. So her story starts a few months after her birth, in the Russian General Clinic in Moscow. The hospital's adoptive sector was visited by an odd looking cloaked long-haired android with a sword in his hand. Between the thousands of babies left by their unwanting parents for adoption, one stood out. It was a female, and she had green hair - just like the android, and she was unnaturally calm in sight of him. "That's the one."

The baby was christianized with the name "Maria", and now held the last name of Zhukova, the sole successor to the Russian corporate magnate, Anastas Zhukov. While he was a multi-billionaire, their life was not as luxurious as one would think. They lived in a large somewhat luxurious three-story house in the suburbs, Maria went to a private school like all wealthy children, but her father wasn't one of the "spending millions on the get-go" types.

Anastas was pretty lax on the adoption issue (and the clever and educated Maria would have found out about it anyway - he's a robot and all), so she quickly discovered that she isn't his biological daughter after all. Though, that didn't scar her as much, as not only she knew that something was not right about the family structure in the first place, but that many of her classmates were also adopted. Adoption is the cool thing among Russian oligarchs these days. Instead of bothering too much with finding out her true origin and completing the puzzle, or maybe challenging her father on some of his beliefs that she might not find comfortable, Maria instead delved right into her salvation - scholarship and learning.

However, the recent shocking events in the Federation, the Zhukovist coup and a surprising jump in social standing have started to shatter the wall of obliviousness, and might maybe, just maybe, get her to open her eyes even more...

---

Extra Info

Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles: Nothing notable - her father takes care of the transportation and protection problems.

Likes and Dislikes:
Likes: basketball, the Internet, deep thinking, studying and scholarship, cats, her father Anastas
Dislikes: dogs, newspapers, jaywalkers, MC oppression, violence, maybe something else too

Moral Alignment: Neutral Good

Crimes convicted of: None

I need some RP breathing space.

Alright, so we would call him, tell him to meet somewhere in London, then strike up the deal. What kinda tech does he like?

Anything new, anything he's never seen before, a Shiney new prototype of a robot, schematics for a weapon never build, classified information, anything to keep his mind testing new possibilities.

Like, for example, a chance to work aboard the most advanced submarine in the world?

He'd jump at the chance, he'd constantly want to make things better or easier for the crew. It's be worth at least 10 contracts to him needless to say he would be deep in debt to you.

Perfect. So then next IC post I make I'll have you receive a message that will read something along the lines of "come to London, we have a job for you, from the Captain of the Grand Gambit." I'd edit it in now, but my character would need Nellie's permission as she's the one getting the body transfer.

Now Shy, forget about your worries and cares, the horrors and pains of the real world, come to the aid of your Doughboy ... and post!

Name: Maria Anastasna Zhukova

Accepted. You can go archive her.

[Charlia]

You know...

I think...

Since there are so many others with false names...

I think Charlotte will have one too.

Persephone.

It makes sense in context. XD

It's funny how no one remembers the end of Persephone's story...

She came into Hades a trembling maiden.

But in Hades, she became the Queen of Death.

I'm always confused by hades. She is both revered as the goddess of spring, along with exiled as the queen of death. Some groups worshiped her as some tragic heroine, others worshiped her as a cult. I can never comprehend why she was treated like both at the same time. Does she hate her imprisonment in with hades or does she enjoy it?

I'm not entirely sure.

There are two sides to the story, and it's hard to know which one is more accurate.

Either way, though, something happened to a cheerful little girl that turned her into the cold Queen of Death.

And that's why I chose Persephone.

Oh, any ideas for cases for Amar? He's a PI but I don't want to say someone did something they didn't? Maybe Costellis assassinated someone and framed it as an accident? Some murder with larger political significance of some sort would be right up my alley.

Badafar's character Eric Keller seems to have risen through the ranks of Constellis, so something tells me that it wouldn't be a stretch to say he did so at the cost of several bodies. Try asking him.

Alternative, you could be trying to take down the Xiao Crime Syndicate, a large and powerful crime family in New York. That'd lead you to try to get help with Lith's character as he's a cop and probably Donner land's merc Josephine who isn't a fan of them either. Just some suggestions.

Josephines nose isn't exactly clean despite her only having been convicted once. You could investigate her?

[Exelia]

That should shake things up a little.

I'm liking the enthusiasm, but I'm not sure if Lith is going to be a fan of us rushing things. It's a very well written post, but we were just telling someone else here that there needs to be some build up before we start blowing up buildings and such.

That's what the protest is supposed to be, build-up. It won't result in anything else going on like a corporation falling or anything.

If you, or Lith, wishes, I could remove the protesters part(or heavily alter it) and just leave the news segment part?
