Oh goodie!

[Democratic Exodian Territories]

CHARACTER FILE

Name: Harper Denslow
Age: 18
Gender: Male

[spoiler=Combat Appearance]

Powers: Incredible gunslinger and prodigy, having been brutally trained in the military arts from a young age, with close-quarters combat, surprise attacks, and shock-and-awe his bread and butter. Keeps a somewhat wide range of weapons on him.

Drawbacks & Limitations:
While training might have done him good, his youth and situational experience (or relative lack thereof, as most of his combat experience mirrored the next engagement) leaves a little something to be desired.
His primary in itself, Guns Akimbo, drastically loses its effectiveness without the element of surprise or against an equally well-trained target who can easily counter it with automatic fire or a precise shot.
While he is perfectly capable on his own, he usually requires backup or a fireteam/support unit of some sort for prolonged combat or special situations in order to fill the technical gaps where he might falter.
In addition, he struggles at a long range, his arsenal (with the slight exception of his crossbow) as evidence, and can easily be picked off with sniper fire.
To top it off, youthful cockiness can lead one to not think things through before acting, no matter the person’s average intelligence.

Equipment and weapons:
-2 M1911A1s, one normal, another converted to be a Lebmann machine pistol, converted to competition-grade handguns with custom sights, precision parts and a light trigger. While normally in dual hip holsters, they can be kept in a large briefcase/boxy backpack alongside a few attachments such as weapon lights, lasers, suppressors, and scopes, extended magazines and a pair of stocks, foregrips and extended barrels
-A Grey Flag NS-12 lever-action shotgun kept in a back holster, “sawed off” with various other attachments such as a shell carrier, a reflex sight, a rangefinder and a weaponlight, and an extended barrel and stock kept in the case.
-A Thompson M1A1 submachine gun, converted to a hybrid-bolt configuration with select-fire, custom sights, a detachable stock and fore grip, several electronic attachments, and a suppressor/flash hider combination device
-A pair of electrified blades based off of the Soviet NR-40 knife
-A compact crossbow with a scope and iron sights, laser sight and electrified/explosive bolts
-Four tear-gas grenades and four flashbang grenades.
-A vintage suit of Exodian EX-12 Assault Armor, complete with a tactical cuirass, pauldrons and helmet, with ballistic-weave duster and slacks (think NCR Ranger armor from Fallout: NV)
-Two bandoliers of ammunition, one .45 ACP, the other 12-gauge
-Custom uniform (think Ocelot’s Tanker fatigues during MGS2)
-Exodian STA combat goggles and accompanying wrist-worn PDA
-M18 Medusa gasmask/oxygen system

Personal Information

Country: Proletarian Republic of Asha-Wang (formerly), Democratic Exodian Territories

Personality: Bright, excitable and eccentric, short-tempered and cocky.

Bio:
Harper’s story begins somewhere in the late 1990s, when an obscure war for a large island in the Bering Sea known as Asha-Wang was raging. The former British-Russian colony had been overrun by a Communist coup, and the local populace were struggling against it.
When many joined the resistance’s Democratic Liberation Front, one of their mentors was a Korean-Canadian private military contractor, who hid her political views as an anarchist.
"Virtuosa", (known in reality as Bo-ah "Martina" Denslow) was a sort of legend (having been a former Joint Task Force 2 special operator) and highly respected amongst the rebels, who had paid well for her skills. One of her youngest students, William Shang, would grow up and lead the rebellion out of Asha-Wang and into the nation known as Exodia and later be elected their governor.
She was a propaganda symbol for the rebels, a strong-hearted warrior who led their cause and way of life
-until she defected to the Communists.
The promise was that her infant son Harper (Who was concieved with another foreign mercenary, Joao Bermuda, who would stay with the Liberation Front) would receive a good life until the war ended, when she would take him back.
The junta government, never making good on their promise, "educated and enlightened" young Harper with propaganda and taught him plenty of skills, making him the embodiment of their will.
He was used as a template for other child soldiers, but they never had as good a track record as Harper.


As for Martina, she never gets to see her son until the Exodian Requittance, during the middle of the invasion- when she and Shang have one last face-to-face and is killed in a duel she challenged him to.
All the while, Asha-Wang’s wonderchild, Harper, was printing his name into the papers. A propaganda symbol he became himself, he never questioned the orders of his commanding officers. He was the youngest Field Commander in the People’s Army, and the leader of the “Black Bulls”, a special-operations unit hated and feared by the remaining rebels, not to mention the populace.

However, something came to him while on one expedition during the Exodian invasion of Asha-Wang, something that’s still classified to this day.
What can be said was that while 15-year-old Harper was beaten, almost broken to his superiors, he got back up again- and with a new outlook.
From then on, he cleverly killed his own unit, one by one and through enemy engagements.
When the last man fell, he defected to the Exodians and the Asha-Wang resistance, giving vital intelligence and showing off his unique ability that came with training and experience. Particularly fond of handguns, his signature imprint became the .45 ACP.
He eventually made his way up into the official Exodian ranks, becoming the Deputy Station Chief in Old Collective City for the Intelligence Ministry. It was this job, however, that would seemingly propel him into the ranks of the legendary Army Biological Security Division.

Extras

Fears/Phobias: Creepy images or occurrences (the “uncanny valley”), some PTSD from his childhood, poisonous arthropods, large sea creatures like octopi

[Mekishima]

Names the Shimada Brothers

Number of teammates Hanzo and Genji

Powers: Hanzo has the ability to utilise many types of arrows, such as a sonic arrow which is able to track his enemies, seeing them through walls via. a sensor in his eyes (detonates when damaged as well), as well as rapidly fire arrows or release a group of them which turn out and scatter, ricocheting off walls up to around 3 times before dropping, and finally, when his ability is ready, conjure up a fiery dragon conjured from an arrow that will do a massive ton of damage. Genji, on the other hand, can jump and flip off walls, double jump in the air, and have an enhanced reaction time which allows him to deflect projectiles as fast as high caliber bullets with his wakizashi and flash step with it as well, and also have the strength and technique to cut throw many metals with his sword. Both brothers can climb up walls as well.

Drawbacks & Limitations: Some of their abilities require focus, which is the most sensible way I can say of explaining a cooldown. Hanzo also requires at least 20 minutes to ready his dragons. Genji only has his shurikens as a way of ranged combat, while Hanzo relies on his bare hands to engage in hand to hand, or his bow whenever.

Equipment and weapons: Hanzo is armed with a bow and quiver of arrows, including occasional sonic, scatter arrows, RapiFire arrows, explosive tips, flaming and boxing-glove stun tips, as well as a major skill in Jiujitsu. Genji, on the other hand, is equipped with shurikens, a wakizashi, a Mekishiman designed hidden blade a la Assassin's Creed, and a custom-made high-tech katana supported by Nostrumium.

Personal Information

Country: Mekishima

Personalities:

Bios:[/] Genji and Hanzo originated from the Shimada clam, which was established centuries ago back in Japan around the 900s. Their power grew over the years, enabling them to build a vast criminal empire that profited from lucrative trade in arms, illegal substances, and assassination. It operated on a system where the eldest son of the family's head would become leader, and after the conquest of Mexico by the Japanese in 1854 when Mexico was at its' weakness, and using diplomatic and political manuevering a Shimadan became the head of the colonial republic in 1926, a year before Mekishima was given independence by Japan
A snag was reached in 2004 when Hanzo Shimada was expected to replace his deceased ruling uncle, Yukimura. Upon his father's death, the congress of Mekishima instructed Hanzo to straighten out his wayward younger brother, Genji Shimada, so that he, too, might help rule the Mekishiman empire. When his brother refused, Hanzo was forced to kill him. This act broke Hanzo's heart and drove him to reject his father's legacy, ultimately leading him to abandon the clan. Seeing this as betrayal, the new ruler Kugo Toshi, who had abandoned the old monarchy seeing it as a dead royal line, but still was spiritually close to it, declared Hanzo an enemy and assassins were sent time and time again to kill him.

The Shimada faced another hurdle as they were targeted by allies of Mekishima in Cornwall, Iranada and the Afrikaaners Ryk. In an ironic twist, Genji had survived Hanzo's attempted assassination, and been rescued by Overwatch members stationed in a Mekishiman immigrant colony the Greater South, turned into a cybernetic ninja. Transformed into a living weapon, Genji single-mindedly set about the task of dismantling his family's criminal empire, a task in which he failed after he was convinced to join the Mekishiman empire, manhandling the Ninja Corps shortly before the Central American wars began. His allegiance lead back to the Toshi government, Genji left Overwatch. This act lead Kugo and Genji to go undercover to find Hanzo in the Greater South, and a few months later the succeeded, and with expert counselling managed to convince him that he would rule over a true empire once more, and so him and Genji settled their differences aside and, with the magic of friendship, went to high ranks once more, just in time for the conquest of Central America.

After the sad death of his wife and only child during their births, Kugo restored the Toshi line to the Shimadas, as he knew Genji or Hanzo would take his place after.

[Nova Urbinum]

CHARACTER FILE

Founder/Cofounder: Imperial Octavia and The Zeonic Imperium
Name: Giovanni Monterisi
Age: 22 years of age
Gender: Male

Powers: No superpowers. Just a man with some wildlife knowledge and a lot of luck.

Drawbacks & Limitations: Monterisi is left-handed, which, doesn't make a great big difference as an ARX-160 can be easily controlled by somebody who's left-handed. Other combat systems might be more of a pain for him, though.

Giovanni has a rare case of bronchitis. He received the disease after going through an unsuccessful expedition to the Sahara desert. While the disease is very mild and tame in its nature with Monterisi, and while he hardly has any problems with it at all, the physical burden placed on him in these engagements might trigger his bronchitis so that he would have to cough a lot, making him more and more conceivable in the field.

Monterisi can only speak a few words of English, so communicating with other potential team members or allies will be extremely difficult.

The state of Nova Urbinum doesn't believe in this kind of slaughterhouse in which one man stands on top of countless bodies to receive his materialistic prize, so the moralistic government has distanced itself from the event. Monterisi's equipment is therefore sponsor-based and strongly lacking. Notable things include: Outdated hand grenades, low-quality goggles and a medium-quality hatchet.
Weaknesses: His bronchitis might become a strong weakness later if he's forced to do a lot of moving around.

He's not yet very familiar with the bushels and landscape of his field surroundings, meaning that, if he doesn't get into that, he will have a harder time adapting to the environment and choosing fauna to use as camouflage.

Giovanni loses the ability to think clearly after constant fire on his position, be it barrages or rifle suppression. He doesn't go mad, and he doesn't turn into a shell-shocked character unable to do anything, but his thought processes are a lot more dispersed, and he makes some decisions that don't lead to the results he'd like to achieve.
Equipment and weapons:

• Beretta 7.62x51mm NATO ARX 160
• Standard-issue Nova Urbinum combat dress uniform. (This might be changed due to his surroundings differing from the camo pattern, or because of his sponsor's wishes, but this is what he feels most comfortable and lucky in, so he'll most likely wear it.)
• A hatchet acting as a close-quarters weapon and tool.
• Some camouflage nets to act as woodland cover (Again, this might be left out due to Monterisi's wildly different surroundings in the field / adapted to fit said surroundings properly
• 2 rations of food
• A canteen full of water
• A water purifier
• A wooden spile to get water out of trees
• One first aid kit
• Extra painkillers

Personal Information

Country: Nova Urbinum

Personality: Giovanni Monterisi is an extroverted and outgoing guy, whose main goal of entering the competition was the fame and the money. He's got a stoic character and a quick wit, which might help him prepare for the fight. He's not a quitter, and is determined to go on and on until he either wins or dies.

Bio: Giovanni Monterisi, or Giovanni Laterne Paolo Monterisi, was born in a small village on the river Tiravae, where he grew up in the rural hinterland of Nova Urbinum. He helped his parents work the land, and kept assisting them until he turned 17. When he did turn seventeen, he opted to join the army after seeing his family go through financial hardships. Now partially providing for a family of seven, his ambition was unmatched by other recruits. NCOs saw his fiery input, and knew that he was looking for a promotion. His highlander "Alpini" regiment sent him out into the central mountains of New Urbino along the Tiravae so that he could go on a survival-esque tour with other soldiers. He passed the tour as the best soldier in the group, and then went on on three other trips, including one to the Sahara desert.

He recently heard of this battle royale event, in which you could earn a lot of money and fame if you got through it. Telling his family goodbye, he made his way down to Imperial Octavia, where he started training with his sponsors and producers, trying to blend into the environment so that he could rival his technologically advanced counterparts.

Extras

Fears/Phobias:
Monterisi is afraid of death.
Monterisi is somewhat "scared" of gunfire, in the sense that he might lose his mind as explained earlier.
Monterisi is afraid of the brutality of his oppponents.

Skills:

• Speaks fluent Italian and broken English.
• Is able to completely disassemble and re-assemble his ARX-160 automatic rifle in less than one and a half minute.
• Is extremely extroverted and outgoing, and knows how to win over people.
• Knows how to blend into his surroundings by using makeshift camouflage effectively.
• Is an expert in surviving in rough conditions, and is very skilled and educated when it comes to withstanding nature.
• Is an adequate shot with his ARX-160.

Can I have my character be in the woods, perhaps bordering the city, or are we going for urban combat only?

[Veise]

Sorry if we're posting too fast. Once this fight ends I'll slow down.

EDIT: That about wraps up the fight. Back to a more normal posting schedule now.

Everyone spawns in the Cathedral and the map is only urban environment. Otherwise, I did reference the cityscape to like the hanging gardens of Babylon. Which you play off of, during the royale.

Edited my application slightly, but thank you for accepting me.

Wait, do I have to spawn in the Cathedral as well? Wouldn't it make sense for my character to alright be out there, in the city, just like the rest of the participants?

It’s like a video game. You start at the beginning and go down from there. Polish/Exodia summarize the beginning nice and short, I don’t have the reason to give exceptions to this. If the majority is completely chill with it, unless otherwise stated. You don’t have to mention VictorNet, your character would receive a small recording of any questions that were asked, at the start of this RP.

OK, I'll start down in the cathedral. No worries.

Posted. Hope that this is good. I wasn't quite sure about the spawning thing. If anything wrong in my post, please let me know.

Ah. Well, looks like this already started a few days ago. Sorry about that. It's hard for me to make myself focus on things sometimes. Or something like that. It's hard to explain.

You still have plenty of time to join us. So, no need to be sorry. It might put you in a good advantage with having less fighters to be concerned about, aside from Patient Zero. Oh that reminds me, I need to write a post for today.
