ACES: Supernatural Counter-Terror Ops [OOC] [SEMI-CLOSED]

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Accepted but I would think about how it'd be to use an RPG as your main weapon

Sorta like a secondary only run.

[Great Confederacy of Commonwealth States]

Still a work in progress, I will have to add some equipment and personal effects, but that requires some research

The quality of the app itself is good, but I really, really don't like how he's just "what if Ponce de Leon really did find the Fountain of Youth".

That can of course be changed, I thought it would be good to have a historical character, just because that gives him more of a basis to build something emotional on. And I wouldn't say he's just that, though I could certainly flesh out some more of his time later.

But yeah, willing to work on this. What would be better, you think?

[The GAmeTopians]

Hiiiiiiii Monnnnnnnnn. I have several ideas, have to see which one sticks out to me.

[Monfrox]

I'll be working on the roster here soon.

Also, hi GAme.

[Xing]

Edited Kyoko's app simply to include a theme song.

[Tarnen]

Hello there.

[Monfrox]

Hello there.

Now there’s someone I haven’t seen in forever.

[Tarnen]

Hello there.

Now there’s someone I haven’t seen in forever.

Its been awhile, I'm surprised people remember me. or at all.

[Monfrox]

The name looked familiar and so usually I just dig through old threads. Unfortunate that you knew me back in 2013, but that’s how it be.

I just had a lot happen over the weekend but I’ll be working on the IC soon after wrapping up some irl stuff. Some people still have to get their apps up.

Ah, thats a long time. In any case I will have an app up today hopefully. Will be a bit busy most of the day.

[Wolfenium]

App done. Not sure if there's anything missing.

ACES OPERATIVE PERSONNEL FILE - A4J
IMBODEN, ESTELLA, -

(Image)

Sex / Gender(optional): F / _
Classification (Mundane/Supernatural): Supernatural
Age: 21
Place of Birth/Citizenship: Puerto Varas, Chile/Chilean
Ethnic Background: German
Religious Preference: Roman Catholic
Psychological Evaluation: Just to the point of uncompromising, Estella's iron-clad moral convictions runs counter to the twisted nature of Latin American politics, with an undoubtedly sour opinion of the entire spectrum of Chilean leadership. As such, it is often difficult for her to make morally murky choices. Moreover, her piety and hardline stance towards evil often made it difficult for her to compromise when it came to working with the dirtier aspects of human society, or dealing with demonic non-humans.
Background: Born in a sprawling ranch and estate in the interior of the Andean mountains, Estella had long been committed to a life of virtue. A studious squire in the local chapter of the Order of Santiago, Estella seemed like a girl out of place, viewing virtue through the lens of romanticized chivalry so gravely absent in its contemporary era. But her sheltered life in the local German community betray a secret so open, it was any wonder why the Israeli Kana'im or Siqariyim did not simply storm the estate. The fact that most of the chapter's forefathers, including her own family, were former Ahnenerbe members and supporters of Pinochet's regime disturbed her. The last straw came when her own parents attempted to persuade her to join the underground Nazi remnant organization, Die Spinne. Refusing and fleeing the town at the threat of her life, she soon found herself out of a future and in need of employment.
"Why should you be a contractor with ACES?": "I have experience with firearms, I was a squire in the Chilean branch of the Knights of Santiago and I hope to make a difference in the world combating threats to human society. Things like that."
Primary Weapon System: Rapier
Personal Weapon (sidearm): HK33KA3
Equipment: Combat fatigues, boots, binoculars.
Personal Affects: A notebook & her old knight's medallion.
RP Sample(Optional): No :3
"By agreeing to this contract, I hereby enlist into the Advanced Combat and Exorcism Specialists. I acknowledge that my company's existence is clandestine and is not to be mentioned outside base and/or while off duty. Breach of this trust is a breach of contract that subjects me to punishment up to and including contract termination. I will carry myself to the highest degree of excellence as the mission demands that I do, so help me God.”

Accepted

This team is already shaping up to be very, very interesting

[Monfrox]

IC Thread is up

It's not my best work at the tail end of sleep deprivation, but it's there. Rup, Cy, and GCC, I'm still waiting on your completed applications.

[Theyra]

Okay, but why is the IC post in Factbooks and National Information?

[Rupudska]

App's done.

[Remnants of Exilvania]

Okay, but why is the IC post in Factbooks and National Information?

That's-checks-a really good question.

[Monfrox]

Because I was sleep deprived and not paying attention.

[Monfrox]

Snipped because reasons

Accepted

[Vacif]

So what're the two posts for? Rosters and stuff?

Anything this team needs?

[Diahon]

Hm.

Prolly that.

Hmm, perhaps more members, supernaturals included. In terms of team comp...maybe a marksman? I admit to having little clue of these things though perhaps a marksman or a "heavy" would be neat.

Hm.

Come in, come in.

[Diahon]

I would, but I see GCCS' planning to make an immortal for an app, and I'm not sure the roster could use another (also IRL-based, though not quite as well-known, except perhaps among lovers of Chinese poetry).

That said, that qualification regarding that case-by-case basis for accepting apps for supernaturals... how to define a "supernatural" within the bounds of this RP?

I TG’ed GCCS and haven’t heard anything from him.


Supernatural abilities that are derived from things inexplicable by scientific or logical means. Like how werewolves transform on a full moon. There’s no real explanation other than “they just do”. Magic is under the same banner.

Hm. So a race between immortal apps, then.

Well, I'm gonna spoil a bit (or spoil it all, I'm a rather bad judge at knowing when to stop): I have in mind two apps. One's the Chinese immortal I mentioned (she's a dancer, around 1300 years old, and very annoyed); the other's a British peer's do-nothing son (who has at hand one of the Round Table's treasures, and has hypothetical access to several).

Which is less OP (or more interesting, or whatever metric you'd use) to you?

I’ll run it by my co-op but I’m more worried about how they’ll fight with the company. Remember that they have to have some measure of skill beyond their power that makes them an asset to have around, or at the very least the drive for the cause. ACES can provide a basic military introductory course to get them up to speed with use of small arms and squad tactics if need be at that point.
