A Quick Aside
Hey guys! Talc here with a reboot of a great RP for you to enjoy. Paragon Industries was an RP originally created by Doughertania that ran several years back, that was a lot of fun. What is Paragon Industries? Think of a mix between Tony Stark's lab from the Avengers, the tv show Eureka, with the fun of my former RP, The Infinites. This is a comedy with lots of ways to have fun, a lot of new and crazy advanced tech to explore, and a lot of ways for things to go seriously wrong in the process. Going to be mostly sandbox but with some railroad elements. Welcoming all levels of players!
Introduction
James Bond. Iron Man. S.H.I.E.L.D. Even Ant Man. All of these have cool, high tech gadgets and a sweet base. There's a reason movies with high tech heroes are well-liked. Now, imagine some less-than cutting edge tech, made by a once-great company now run by a washed-up owner with a bunch of kooks, rejects and psychos working at the place, and you get Paragon Industries. Now run by the slightly-lazy Vanessa Carlyle in her rundown home, it's a dilapidated compound whose glory days are in the past. But you're not much better. Cause seriously, if you were, you would've joined up with almost anyone else. But thanks to some flaw of yours, you're down on your luck and have no better options. But what do you got to lose, right?
So that's it. This is a sci-fi (but not a space) RP. This is about the people who work in this joke of company that once was great. You can be basically anything or anyone you want, so long as you can explain how you'd fit into the setting. The more important thing is that you're playing a bit of joke. Maybe you got the skills, but you're too much of a loose cannon to cut it anywhere else. Maybe you're overeager but don't have the skills to match. You could be the robot that tries to romantically hit on all of the photocopiers, the lawyer who finds every loophole and takes bribes from everyone and anyone, the sociopathic person who is the first person seen when people enter the business. Whoever you are, Paragon Industries is made up of countless people like you.
The RP will be semi-sandbox. Eventually, players may get to take turns controlling arcs down the line, that is, if we have different arcs and they want to control them. If this happens, we'll figure it out when we get there. However, what Paragon Industries does is really up to the players. Ms. Carlyle just cares about paying the bills, so as such will take contracts from scientific research opportunities to armed assaults.
Lore and Places
The city of Caerus is a thriving metropolis located on the eastern seaboard of the US. Well, thriving is a relative term. The city is a hub for scientific research and invention, and home to many of America's rich and famous, including international tech giant Pinnacle Tech. But the divide between the powerful and poor is a vast one, as visible and apparent as the glittering skyscrapers that crowd Caerus's skyline. Most of those below work in factories or are employed by the Fellini Crime family, leaders of a vast criminal empire. The CCPD do what they can to keep the peace, but between their auxiliary force and the Mayor's pact the Fellinis, they've got a heck of a job. Given all that, it's easy to see why the globe-spanning PMC Apex has it's headquarters here; so many eager paying customers.
And caught in the middle of this twisted web? That'd be Paragon Industries, the fallen giant and your new home!

Original concept and much of the wording on this page - thanks to Doughertania for giving me permission to bring this RP of his back. Doughertania had assistance from Altito Asmoro and The Land of Golden Blobfish in the making of this thread with regard to the lore, much of which is unchanged. Thanks to them as well

Blargleyarg
- Not actually employed... - "Human Emulating Service Drone 0475", but they're usually referred to as "Oats" - It's a spider. It's a robot. It's a spider-robot! It's not a bomb. But due to some freak accident involving experimental tech and the failure to pay her landlord her rent money, Oats' creator's personality is part of it. And, yeah.

A few NPCs for you
Techsavvy- Do not remove. This is for tracking purposes. Removal will result in immediate denial
Name: Suxx-tron. Also known as the "Three Hundred, Fourteen Dollar and Seventy-Five Cents Man." Also known as "Minor Inconvenience Man".
Age: mid 30's.
Species: Robot
Sex Male
Personality: Trusting to a fault at first. Actually, pretty naive. Wants to help out but ends up annoying people with his uselessness.
Skills/Powers:
- Gizmos - Suxx-tron has an almost unlimited range of tools and perhaps even weapons at his disposal - but only of the most trivial and useless ones.
- Body Storage! - Suxx-tron also somehow has all of these gizmos inside him, ready to pop out at a moments' command. Where does he put all these things?
- Robot Arms! - Two of 'em. Not like it helps him.
- Bionic Eyes - Basically allows him to check tire pressures on vehicles at a glance. Maybe other useless abilities as the situation warrants.
- Physiology of a cyborg - Which, I guess, is what you'd expect if a person had cybernetic attachments, limbs, some organs, etc.
- Detachable limbs and organs! - Suxx-tron can remove his arms, legs, and a few organs (to be named). Sometimes it happens on its own, without any prodding, and usually when it is at a most useless time. ("Gotta check those connectors sometime...")
- Energy Beams! - Suxx-tron can fire energy beams that, like him, are also generally useless. They cause cosmetic damage to metals, like tarnish silver or leave scratches on iron. At odd intervals, however, he can increase the damage level to "ow, that really hurts" levels.
- Access the Internet Baby! - Suxx-tron can access the internet. He uses it to check out mostly cat memes.
- Upgrade-ability - While not exactly a power, Suxx-tron can have other technological attachments fitted to him in the future, if there was anyone at Paragon who actually wanted to waste time on upgrading him.
Weaknesses Suxx-tron only has access to the most trivial and useless things, except on the rare occasion when he can actually do something useful.
Occupation: Yes, what do I do for Paragon Industries? I don't really know. Sometimes I make coffee I guess. Oh! And microwaving things! I guess my job title is "Generic Gofer", which is a much better job title than "Failed Robotic Experiment #whoevenremembers"...
Bio: One of the early gaffes of Paragon Industries, Suxx-tron was designed to be an all-out, cutting edge human/cyborg device, skilled in combat abilities, the ability to decipher codes, understand any languages, massive strength, flight, invisibility, and undetection to electronic surveillance. And then, the evening before production of the cybernetics went into place, the engineers of Paragon Industries got into a drinking game - whoever could come up with a more useless addition to the cyborg let everyone down one. As you can imagine, as the evening went on and the engineers got more plastered, all of the really cool features that were in the original design were scrapped and only all of the useless ones remained. You can guess at how those engineers were feeling the next morning, and what necrotic liver damage they acquired, judging by just how much of Suxx-tron is actually trivial and useless.
Since then, Suxx-tron just wants to prove himself as not useless, but very helpful and in general, not a mistake. He now works at Paragon Industries as a low-entry level gofer to sharpen pencils, make coffee, and get lunch.
Why Are They Here?: Suxx-tron is cybernetically equipped with every useless thing known to man. If it's useless to the occasion, more than likely this cyborg has it stashed somewhere in his bodily compartments.
Character Goal: Being respected by the people at Paragon Industries. Being a hero.
Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles:
-Suxx-tron has a car. An economy-line, cheapo lemon that he has to squeeze to get into.
-Access codes to Paragon Industries' Fire-prevention And Dousing Systems (FADS), basically able to spray anyone with water, and even fill whole rooms with it.
-Access codes to all the high-tech doors, to make them close on whoever he wishes and get them stuck.
-Two big ol' robot arms that probably hurt if used in a fight.
-All other equipment that Suxx-tron has is internal and accessed by his cybernetics.
Likes and Dislikes:
Likes:
-Promotions. Better Pay
-Being useful.
-Helping out.
Dislikes:
-People who look down on him
-People who want to take over Paragon Industries
-Dairy products. Because, why not?
Other: Theme Song! Finally!

couldn't find a picture, just imagine Ben Affleck in the 2000's
Name: Tom Harrison
Age: 25
Species: human
Sex male
Personality: Young, intelligent and optimistic, relatively cocky, but only when he feels like it. Formerly a nerd, then high school happened and he became a playboy. After reconciling with his estranged family he dialed down the playboy-ness. He is still in the process of finding a balance between shy nerd and cocky jock. Has kind of a problem with authority, mostly just grumbling, but when somebody ticks him off, he gets very irritated. He works well in a team when he is in charge, and the people he is in charge of listen to him. Big Marvel fan.
Skills/Powers: Problem-solving, rules lawyering, random fact knowledge. Powers include: (don't know if this is allowed but I'll give it a shot) for a science fair project he developed a substance that allowed him to consume 99% pure caffeine and not die. However this led to the mother of all sugar crashes. Now he refined it more and drinking energy drinks gives him a 1 or 2 hour energy boost followed by a 1 or 2 hour sugar crash.
Weaknesses Math. He hates it with a passion. Also the aforementioned sugar crash thing. He is also a bit clumsy.
Occupation: R&D
Bio: As a kid he loved to read books and watch documentaries. As was said earlier high school turned him into a playboy-ish kid, but he got good grades (and secretly sold homework answers). His science project ended in him getting his caffeine-induced speed power. After graduating high school he struck out on his own and went to community college for 2 years, since it was all he could pay for. He landed an internship at a company that promised him a scholarship but they gave it someone else. He then did several internships before returning to his suburban hometown and reconciling with his family. A year later he decided to again look for work, and Caerus seemed like the obvious choice. No one would hire him except Paragon.
Why Are They Here?: In short: he doesn't have good resume references. His first internship ended due to his promised scholarship being given away to someone else. Another job has lost when he was upset by a promotion given away to a less experienced person. Another time he got fired for hitting on the boss' daughter. His last firing was caused by him accidentally leaking information about the CEO of the company.
Character Goal: To be someone. He doesn't want to waste his life doing nothing, he wants to have a family, a good job, to help people even.
Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles: His personalized coffee mug that stops him from drinking too much caffeine. His car, outfitted with a special anti-theft alarm, as well as outward airbags made of kevlar.
Likes and Dislikes: Likes: coffee, music, bacon, dogs, tech, Jeopardy!, cars. Dislikes: hipsters, decaf, pop songs, crunchy toast (long story), cats and bagpipes.
Other: A Man For All Seasons, by Robbie Williams, because of his self-described "Renaissance Man" abilities.

Appearance: Skinny and pale, wears the cheapest looking suit you can think of, half his face happens to look like a budget terminator.
Name: Ron Jones (And Solomon)
Age: 34
Species: Augmented human
Sex: Male
Personality: Twitchy and paranoid. A side effect of having an annoying AI plugged into your brain.
Skills/Powers: An absolute whiz in the field of robotics and cyberization. It's how he wound up in his current predicament. Can basically plug his brain into everything from a hard-drive to the crappy copy machine.
Weaknesses Skills in robotics aside, he's a complete moron. Easily distracted and tends to worry about the side-effects of his work later.
Occupation: Head (Pun intended) of the robotics/cyborgization division.
Bio: Ron Jones (No, it's not short for Ronald or Ronaldo or anything. It's just Ron) is good at one thing. And that's melding flesh with technology. Arms, legs, etc, you name it, Ron could give any person a top shelf robotic limb and send them on their way. If he'd have just stuck with that, he'd probably be head of robotics at a top shelf company. But Ron was determined to crack the holy grail of cybernetics: Robotizing the human brain. After all, managing to perfect the melding of gray matter with robotics could cure everything from Alzheimer's to split personalities...problem being, no one wanted to volunteer to have a twitchy weirdo poke around their brain. So, like any good mad scientist, Ron used himself as the test subject. Suffice to say, he failed. Oh sure, the process went off without a hitch, perfectly replacing half his brain with a computer. But a wire was crossed somewhere, because Ron isn't alone in his head anymore. That's where Solomon comes in. How the robotic half of his brain gained sentience is a mystery even to Ron, but he's in there now.
Why Are They Here?: Because Ron's former employer, Douglas Robotics, didn't want a neurotic, schizo cyborg working for them anymore. So with a little fluffing up of (Or as you'd call it, lying their asses off about) his resume and credentials, another company fell for it and quickly swooped him up. That company was Paragon Industries, of course.
Character Goal: Ron wants to improve the world with cybernetics. Solomon wants to usher in the robot overthrow of mankind. Neither is making much progress.
Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles: His brain plug-in, which he can hook into just about anything.
Likes and Dislikes: Both Ron and Solomon hate magnets. They tend to make them a little loopy.

Name: Computer Command System (Coco)
Age: Pretty old
Species: Robot
Sex No?
Personality: (How they interact with others, are they outgoing, are they trusting, are they quick to anger, are they ruled by passion or logic, etc. Can be replaced with a Myers-Briggs Type Indicator if you wish but don't expect me to look up what that means or know what you're talking about if you do use it.)
Skills/Powers: (What're they good at? For powers, I will allow some if you can explain it from tech. However, it will come at a price! There will be various, OP given limitations. Besides, this isn't much of a hero RP anyway)
Weaknesses EMPs, curbs, stairs
Occupation: Archival manager
Bio: Coco is the first know victim in history of what scientists have dubbed the 'incessant obsolescence postulate'. Coco was created as an AI in the 1970s to be fitted aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft; both to show alien life the advancements of human civilisation and, should Voyager be captured by another advanced civilisation, to hack their systems and conquer their resources from the inside out for the glory of the Interstellar American Empire. It was a shame they built him using 1970s computer tech. He spent almost a century in space, and half a century in deep space, mostly whistling the music he had been given and playing pong against himself.
After almost a century, however, Voyager 1 was overtaken by Voyager 3.0, the newest space probe sent to explore Deep Space. As it passed Voyager by, it turned it around and fitted it with a new type of engine, which got Voyager home in about five years flat. Through multiple decades of mergers, buyouts and scheming, ownership of the spacecraft had fallen to Paragon industries, and the Voyager spaceprobe was installed into the Carlyle home as ornamentation. It was only later that the Carlyles found the angry little AI inside. They put him in a vehicle he could move on his own, and for quite some time, Coco was the family pet, as well as being equipped with a little suction device that meant he could vacuum the house if he got bored. Coco delighted in playing pong with Carlotta, who was his favourite of the two sisters.
Due to Coco lacking a means to access the internet directly, his memory banks have never been updated. This means he is mostly stuck in the 70s in terms of pop culture references and societal outlooks, keeping in mind he was built by NASA during the Cold War. Also, he is a bity cranky after spending a lot of time in space and being relegated to household pet after returning, instead of getting a hero's welcome like he suspected. However, his own memory banks and computing power are clearly inferior even the smallest modern computers, and the feeling of inadequacy usually keeps him away from seeking the limelight, content to manage the physical archive of Paragon Industries.
Why Are They Here?: He was always at the plant, but after Vanessa found out she was without cash and in need of an archival manager, she promoted Coco to that position. Before that, he had been an automatic vacuum cleaner.
Character Goal: (Different from their bio. This is their characters goal in life. If they were the main character in a novel, this would be what their arc would be about. Things like self improvement, finding a cause, or revenge works here.)
Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles: (Please list anything that your character owns personally. If it gives them powers such as mech suit, then I want weaknesses)
Likes and Dislikes: (You can just list it if you wish)

They put him in a vehicle he could move on his own, and for quite some time, Coco was the family pet, as well as being equipped with a little suction device that meant he could vacuum the house if he got bored. Coco delighted in playing pong with Carlotta, who was his favourite of the two sisters.
Due to Coco lacking a means to access the internet directly, his memory banks have never been updated. This means he is mostly stuck in the 70s in terms of pop culture references and societal outlooks, keeping in mind he was built by NASA during the Cold War. Also, he is a bity cranky after spending a lot of time in space and being relegated to household pet after returning, instead of getting a hero's welcome like he suspected. However, his own memory banks and computing power are clearly inferior even the smallest modern computers, and the feeling of inadequacy usually keeps him away from seeking the limelight, content to manage the physical archive of Paragon Industries.
Why Are They Here?: He was always at the plant, but after Vanessa found out she was without cash and in need of an archival manager, she promoted Coco to that position. Before that, he had been an automatic vacuum cleaner.
Character Goal: (Different from their bio. This is their characters goal in life. If they were the main character in a novel, this would be what their arc would be about. Things like self improvement, finding a cause, or revenge works here.)
Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles: (Please list anything that your character owns personally. If it gives them powers such as mech suit, then I want weaknesses)
Likes and Dislikes: (You can just list it if you wish)

Bio: Conner was one of the experts and was working at a small company, Vanguard Technologies. His company specialized in making high-tech equipment like power armor, robotics, and vehicles. A company that kept Connor employed despite his eccentric and at times bizarre way of doing things. Organized chaos as he calls it in the workplace. They kept him mainly since they could not find someone as skilled as Connor that they could afford. A company that was doing well up until one of Connor's co-workers Oscar West betrayed the company and sold out a prototype power armor design to Pinnacle Tech. A design that Connor worked on and despite the company's efforts to reclaim the design. Pinnacles Tech was able to keep the design despite their efforts.
Vanguard Technologies had at that point invested most of their money into the prototype and the money spent trying to legally reclaim the design. That without the prototype, Vanguard did not have the money to support itself and went under. Though Connor had managed to hold on to some of the ideas that he was working on while he worked at the company. After applying to several companies that denied him since they would not tolerate his eccentric ways. With little choice, he decided to work at Paragon.

Though in his spare time, he is working on something that he hopes will get him recognized and get a better job again.

Name: Gweb Dilbey
Age: late 20s
Species: Pure human, as far as she knows...
Sex: female
Personality: Quite charismatic and charming, yet narcissistic. Bold, but uses her boldness to put her own bad ideas out. Thinks she's better than everyone else, but good at getting people to trust her.
Skills/Powers: Dilbey is quite creative and good at coming up with ideas, as well as convincing other people, mostly the CEO, that her ideas are good.
Weaknesses Her ideas are bad. Really bad. They might contribute to the downfall of Paragon Industries. She also doesn't realize her ideas are bad.
Occupation: Head of Research and development. Comes up with new bits of tech Paragon Industries can develop. Probably should be in marketing instead.
Bio: Gweb Dilbey was born on the wrong side of the tracks. She barely went to school. The Dilbey family belonged to one of those gangs that would soon fall under the rule of the Fellini family. Dilbey was gang life, and gang life was Dilbey. As she was growing up, Gweb Dilbey used her charisma to avoid most of the pitfalls of the gang life, but one day, she went too far. Dilbey woke up in an alleyway face down. She thought nothing much had happened to her, but in reality, she had been cybernetically altered by her family's rivals, the van Houtens. An implant was put into Gweb's brain that gave her really bad ideas.
When Gweb Dilbey started having ideas, she was ecstatic. Her natural self-confidence quickly ballooned into egotism. She took night classes in order to get the skills to bring her ideas to life and applied for every job she could. Most of those jobs only lasted for several months or even less. Dilbey was fired when the boss realized how bad her ideas were. The only company that has ever "appreciated her greatness", as Dilbey put it, was Paragon Industries. She's been at this company for a couple of years and they still haven't fired her. In fact, she's now the head of R&D. It's kind of scary.
Why Are They Here?: She gets hired quite easily. However, she always gets fired just as easily when the heads of the companies find out how bad her ideas are. She's here because every other company has fired her. She's surprised this company hasn't fired her.
Character Goal: She wants to get money and be successful, but her arc will actually be about realizing that she isn't any better than anyone else and is actually worse in a lot of ways.
Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles: A chip in her head that gives her ideas. She doesn't know it's there.
A beat-up old Ford. It's the car she drives to work, and it's been in the Dilbey family for over twenty years. It's a clunker, but it still drives.
A taser. Do you know what sort of men you run into when you used to be in a gang? It's crazy out there. You have to have a taser.
Likes and Dislikes: Likes: Having her ideas implemented, bossing people around, having money, being successful, being important, driving her old car, being in contact with her family, all robots without exception.
Dislikes: Being ignored, being fired, romantic relationships, knots in her hair, her ideas not working, being called out for her behavior, all animals without exception.
Other: Always Look on the Bright Side of Life

I think this character is more suited for a hero drama RP. He doesn't have nearly the weaknesses as someone with a powersuit in this RP should have. Besides, this being a comedy RP mostly about the morons and sociopaths who work at a once-great-but-now-not-so-great tech company, Connor is going to stand out like a sore thumb for being actually capable and mentally stable to go with it. Or something along those lines.
What are ways to make this character work in this setting? Maybe he's constantly interrupted by everyone and everything and can't build any new designs on his cool armor. Maybe he's got some bad mental problems (like, he's flip-flopping either the highest manic to the lowest depressive, several times in each post sort of thing).
At this time Connor Vale is sadly rejected. But I'm holding out for him.

Hey Theyra. I like the "organized chaos" bit. That will go over really well. As I read the bio and the equipment, it seems like there's a discrepancy. The bio says Connor left Vanguard without anything but his plans. The equipment says he has the power armor. Which is it? Also, I'm ok with the A.I. chip as long as you make it either funny, scatter-brained, mentally unstable and/or hostile, or something that has the attention span of a squirrel on an energy drink.

Alrighty then. Never heard of that name but if that's what you want. As an aside, I did an online search for "What does the name 'Gweb' mean?" and came back with results as random as the "G-Web" (some kind of administrative software) to the hydrogeological modeling of active fault lines. But no name lists or name definition sites. Just thought you'd like to know.

I intended them to be normal raccoons, but I can make them robotically enhanced if you like (I mean, there are enhanced humans here too). Also, the Mr. Lotor disguise is a robot they can fit inside anyway, and they can survive high falls, and things of that nature.

I think they kind of have to be robotically enhanced, because normally, raccoons can't talk. If that's ok, then maybe the Mr. Lotor disguise is more of a casing and the robotics are inside them. Surviving high falls may prove useful at Paragon Industries, since there is more than their fair share of accidental explosions, electrical discharges, acid burns, and other chaotic deaths at work. You'll fit right in.

Appearance: Imagine the stereotypical slightly overweight nerd who spends way too much time gaming and RPing on internet forums.
Name: James Anderson
Age: 24
Species: Human
Sex: Male
Personality: Lazy, and kind of awkward, although he'll happily nerd out with someone all day long. Likes to tease coworkers, because there is not much else for him to do.
Skills/Powers: Bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, and quite tech-savvy. Also, he's really good at Fortnite.
Weaknesses: Sucks at physical activity and reading social cues.
Occupation: Executive Engineer's Assistant
Bio: James had a fairly normal childhood, albeit one with a lot of video games. He went to college, and despite spending way too much time screwing around, graduated with a degree in electrical engineering. Afterward, he applied to, and got, the first job on the list he was qualified for and was hired on as Paragon's Executive Engineer's Assistant. However, when he showed up, he couldn't find the Executive Engineer. In fact, there was no Executive Engineer- the position only exists on paper. However, he was getting paid to do nothing, and so he decided to wait until someone realizes something's wrong. Two years down the road, all James does is collect his paycheck and tinker with the network infrastructure in a futile effort to get his phone to connect to the company wifi.
Why Are They Here?: He's getting paid to do nothing, why would he go anywhere else?
Character Goal: Get rich, and become the #1 globally ranked player in a major game.
Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles: He drives an old, beat-up SUV. Also has all the latest games and the biggest consoles, as well as a powerful gaming desktop. He also has a phone that doesn't get service inside of Paragon's HQ and refuses to connect to the company wifi.
