ACCEPTED.

Thank you. Now watch as I burn your precious Europe to the ground

You and what army?

Anyway, Ghondie, here is le app.

Nation Name: The Empire of Cackle
Character Name: Axel Nygaard/Adam Rosenberg
Nationality: European, more specifically, Danish.
Affiliation: Sino-Russian Federation
Gender: Male
Age: 29
Species: Axel is a Genetically Enhanced Human.
Appearance:
Image

Personality: In public, Axel is a friendly, likeable, and seemingly great person. People tend to let down their guard around him, which is exactly what he relies on to collect information. In private, he is arrogant and greedy, though not evil. Although arrogant, he isn't stupid, and will give up if he has no other choice. Axel also hides an insatiable curiosity, and often reads stolen documents before handing them off to his spy handlers.
Weapons: Axel has a poisoned needle up his sleeve, a bomb hidden away in his suitcase, and a knife in his boot.
Strengths: Axel is strong and charismatic, and has training with a variety of weapons. He is best, however, at close quarters combat.
Weaknesses: Axel is rather arrogant, and can make foolish mistakes because of it. He is prone to underestimating his opponent and this often comes back to bite him. He has never fully gotten over the death of his parents, and, should somebody find out this about him, it could be used to great effect.
Profession: Axel is a spy, working for the Sino-Russian Federation currently, though with no particular loyalty towards them.
Character History: Axel, originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, was born a genetically modified human, into a wealthy family. Sounds like he hit the lucky jackpot, right? Well, no. His parents were killed in a terrorist attack on his 11th birthday, which is a pretty bad present to get a kid. Instead of becoming Batman, however, Axel started burning with an intense hatred of the world, as he was taken to be raised by his uncaring and cruel Uncle, who mostly left him to raise himself. Over time, this hatred softened to a less noticeable, though no less intense, sense of superiority. As he grew older, he found he rather liked having money, almost as much as he did himself. Almost. Eventually inheriting the massive wealth of his parents, he began living something of a lavish lifestyle, wasting money on mere whims. He soon found that his parent's wealth alone couldn't keep him afloat forever. That was about when he decided to start selling state secrets. Not truly caring who ruled the world, Axel began acquiring European Federation secrets through bribery, and sold them to the highest bidder at secret auctions. Eventually, the Sino-Russian Federation offered him a deal: begin working for them exclusively, or have his operation exposed. Left with no choice, Axel began spying only for the Sino-Russian Federation, which in turn rewarded him handsomely. A few months before the present, the European Federation began getting suspicious of him. Knowing that Copenhagen was no longer safe for him, Axel fled to London, under the fake name of Adam Rosenberg, to evade detection. After settling in, Sino-Russian agents politely 'reminded' him that he still worked for them, and told him to continue spying on the European Federation. He is now finding out about something called the Grey Flood in stolen documents, and has decided to find out more.
Character's Role in the Plot: Axel is a spy in London, posing as a wealthy businessman named Adam Rosenberg, working for the Sino-Russian Federation. While in New York, he manages to find out about recent reports of the Grey Flood. Curious, he decides to investigate further. He is also planning to one day get the Russian-Sino Federation off his back.
RP Example: Come now, Ghondie. You asked me to be here.
--------EXTRA--------
(Not required to fill)
Theme Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=98YWS7WuB0o
Likes: Axel likes himself, money, the planet, and everybody on it, in that order.
Dislikes: Axel hates being reminded of his parents, in any way shape or form. He also has an intense and undying fear of spiders.

His treason wasn't inspired by the European Federation. He doesn't care one way or the other about them. It was inspired by pure, unadulterated greed.

Definitely interested, was thinking of making an app for a character who is somewhere between a treasure hunter and bounty hunter...pretty much someone who is paid to retrieve things (usually larger businesses or wealthy criminals) alive or not. Would that be oaky?

You mean "for" larger businesses and wealthy criminals right? If that's the case I don't see why not.

You know I should probably rethink the title. A bit cheery and musical, especially for the setting. Any ideas guys?

Doesn't really fit. The setting got so dystopian because today's problems exacerbated and amplified instead of dampened by technology. So today never really ended.

Didn't you say that today never truly ended? How about Knowledge without Wisdom? It'd reflect how humanity gained the technology of the future without the wisdom to utilize it.

Also, apparently everyone is working for Xylon Pharmaceuticals.

Knowledge without Wisdom is great but we gotta boil it down a bit, because its a mouthful. How about "Same Shit, Different Day"?

Nation Name: Corvus Metallum

Character Name: Amaya Ibáñez

Nationality: Carribean

Affiliation: Freelance

Gender: Female

Age: 29

Species: Cybernetic Human (eye implants, look and feel natural)

Appearance: Clothing will vary.

Personality: With Amaya being talkative, flirty, and a self-proclaimed tramp, it becomes difficult to imagine how she became a ruthless cutthroat in her (surprisingly humanitarian) missions into heavily embargoed countries instead of a barmaid or prostitute...however, more on that later. A natural chatter box, she can talk all day about a wide variety of topics--food, engineering, her own misadventures, and many other subjects--and really has no sense of when to shut up until someone tells her to. She is also a flirt. Be it a kiss on the cheek, a few well placed compliments, or something else, if Sílvia finds someone attractive, she will make it known that she is interested. More often than not, it's nothing but playful teasing and she rarely takes it any further than that if the "victim" happens to be someone she knows...however, this brings us to the next part of her personality. Amaya doesn't tend to let this part of her personality show, but at times it is blatantly obvious there is more driving her flirting than just a desire for reactions; she is a bit of a nymphomaniac, hence her half-joking claims that she is a tramp. Due to that, she rarely forms relationships that amount to anything beyond friendship. Her propensity to flirt and avoid involved relationships could suggest to the uninformed that she never allows herself to form something other than a casual friendship, but if one actually takes notice of how she interacts with her crewmates and familiars, it becomes clear that she is perfectly capable of forming meaningful platonic relations with others. At times, she can be vain and selfish, often while she is under a great amount of pressure or emotional stress; most of her business partners, past and present, have regarded her as as generous and humorous in her demeanor, even if she is a stern figure.

As much as she loves to talk about her interests in a wide variety of subjects, the one topic she keeps mum about is her family life. Whether it be because of uncomfortable and/or traumatizing memories, or she doesn't want to bore someone with personal details and stories is impossible to know for sure...altough her reactions appear to indicate the former. If someone continues to question her about the subject, she becomes irrate, and then outright furious if they continue beyond that. In her normal speaking voice, she has a slight accent when speaking in English. When drunk, irrate, or in a state of mind that could not otherwise be considered normal, her accent becomes thicker and more noticeable; when she is visibly angry, she stops using the common language altogether and begins speaking in her native Spanish as, by that point, she no longer cares if no one can understand her.

Weapons: Generally speaking, a carbon fiber karambit knife is on her at all times. More often than not, though, she usually keeps a Sig Sauer .22 close at hand.
Strengths: Strong moral compass, generally approachable, has a soft spot for kids; if combat is ever necessary, she is a crack shot with her pistol.

Weaknesses: Her soft spot for kids can force her hand into situations she otherwise wouldn't agree to. She never intentionally kills people, thus leaving the door open for revenge.

Profession: Smuggler, specifically technology and medicine.

Character History: Amaya Ibáñez was an orphan taken in by a member of the remianing Catholic clergy at the age of 15. in what was once Cuba. Despite their best attempts at trying to convert her to their faith, she never confessed her sins or repented. Being the free spirit she was, she ended up leaving seven years later after some remedial education and missionary work. Why leave? Aside from her difference of faith (she's agnostic), she found that the Church was far too reluctant to carry out it's supposed mission, and thus took to doing things her own way. Through many cases of trial and error, and a few years in jail, she eventually became a fairly recognized name in the smuggling business, due in part to the humanitarian motivations behind her entry into it. However, the criminal world isn't a pleasant one, and she built quickly on the skills she learned as a street urchin in Havana; knife fighting became a necessity when dealing with many cartel thugs, and she learned to shoot very soon after her first foray into the trade. Many of the specifics of how she got to where she is now she prefers not to talk about, and her past before being taken in is practically nonexistant in official records.

Character's Role in the Plot: As a smuggler, she's always on the move; rumor on the street that she may be picking up a new shipment of medical technology on the UNSA's west coast, but that's about it. She's heard rumors of the Grey Flood from a few contacts, but otherwise has little knowledge of it.

RP Example: Corny RP, but it's the only one with posts that I'm happy with on NS. Offsite example (first post).
