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!
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.
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!

[b]Name:[/b] (What do we call them?)
[b]Age:[/b] (Can be an estimate, like mid 20's)
[b]Species:[/b] (Either pure Human, Augmented Human, Android or Robot)
[b]Sex[/b]
[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 but don't expect me to look up what that means or know what you're talking about if you do use it.)
[b]Skills/Powers:[/b] (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)
[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 came to work at Paragon Industries, as well as how they got their powers/abilities if they have any).
[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 your 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.
