Hi there! Doc here with another RP for you enjoy. See, I want to make a comedy RP about misfits and C-listers bumbling their way through a sci-fi setting, like Guardians of the Galaxy or Futurama. If that sounds fun, then come on over! If it doesn't, then I guess I got nothing for you. Sorry about that.
I want you to think about some of the greatest groups in fiction. You know the kind, with their perfect heroes, cool expensive gadgets and sweet base. Now think the opposite and you get Paragon Industries. Formed by the slightly-lazy Vanessa Carlyle in her rundown home, it's a dilapidated compound with a washed up owner. 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. So why not join up us? I mean, what do you got to lose, right?
So that's it. Inspired by things like Guardians of the Galaxy, Futurama, Archer, Venture Bros, and Doraleous and Associates, this is sci-fi RP about the misfits in their joke of company. 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. Whatever the reason, you couldn't hack it in the better guilds so now you're here.
The RP will be semi-sandbox, with players taking turns controlling arcs with free time sprinkled in. What the arcs entail is up to you, because 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.
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 Technologies. 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!

[b]Name:[/b] (What do we call them?)
[b]Age:[/b] (Can be an estimate, like mid 20's)
[b]Species:[/b] (Pure Human? Augmented Human? Android?)
[b]Sex, Gender[/b] (What they were born with, what they identify as)
[b]Personality:[/b] (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.)
[b]Skills/Powers:[/b] (What're they good at?)
[b]Weaknesses[/b] (What do they suck at? What are the limits to their powers?)
[b]Occupation:[/b] (What do they do for the company?)
[b]Bio:[/b] (At least a paragraph. Please include how they got their powers/abilities, and how they came to work at Paragon Industries.)
[b]Why Are They Here?:[/b] (Look, it's no secret that the people working at Paragon are kinda sucky. So, why are they here and not with any other, better faction? Why do they suck? If it's already in your bio, then write see bio.)
[b]Character Goal:[/b] (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.)
[b]Equipment, Weapons, and Vehicles:[/b] (Please list anything that your character owns personally. If it gives them powers such as mech suit, then I want weaknesses)
[b]Likes and Dislikes:[/b] (You can just list it if you wish)
[b]Other:[/b] (Theme song can go here, if they have one)
2. General RP etiquette. Don't God Mod, don't be a jerk, or any of that stuff.
3. Keep it at a four line minimum.
4. Remember, PG-13. You want to get into your fade to black scene in more detail, take it off site where it's not my problem,
5. If you have to leave for whatever reason, TG me or someone else so we are aware of your absence.
6. I'm giving you guys a fair bit of leeway here. So long as you don't blow up anything important or kill anyone major, you probably can do what you want
7. That being said, don't mess with other people's stuff without asking first. If someone is using an NPC or a place for their arc, don't interrupt their stuff. Use you head.
8. Have fun. Those who aren't having fun should ask themselves why they joined a comedy RP, or bring it up with me.
Shout out to Altito Asmoro and The Land of Golden Blobfish, who helped me build the lore of wonderful place. Thanks for your help!
