Red Shadow ~ Corrupt City OoC

     In the year 2017, the whole world broke out into a third world war. Riots and protests overwhelmed local law enforcement. Country upon country were overtaken. Some countries attempted to stay out of the war, but were soon brought in. After 10 years, the war finally ended. Some countries were wiped off the map or assimilated into other ones. An international cease fire was established, but hatred was still in the hearts of the people.
     During the war, a secret organization was doing their dirty work. This organization was called "The Phantoms". They assassinated government leaders in order to obtain their vision of a perfect world without laws or restrictions. No segregation or leadership. All equal.
     Their motives were what some might call, "justified". However the way they did it was frowned upon by the select few who knew about The Phantoms. This sparked another secret organization, dubbed "Red Shadow". These were highly trained assassins and thieves that's goal is to bring down the Phantoms without anyone knowing they existed. As if to wipe them off the plane of existence. This is how the Secret War started.


     The city of Bay-wall. Named so for the giant wall that spanned the nearby fishing harbor and closed it off from the rest of the world. It was isolated, and corrupted. Crime was everywhere. Murders, burglary, etc. The local law Enforcement couldn't keep up. People were being beat up on the streets. This was the perfect place for the RedShadow headquarters. They were recruiting criminals off the streets. They were preparing for a full on invasion of The Phantoms. They needed to gather some intel first, however.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    It now begins. No "good" side, just a Secret War in Bay-Wall. However, let's talk about the technicalities:

Rules:
1- No sexual or vulgar interaction. Just, please.
2- No godmodding, metagaming, etc.
3- You can kill another character, but you must provide a fight. No insta-kills.
4- Keep the swearing down a level. It's allowed, but don't go too crazy
5- Keep the posts at least a paragraph. That means 5 sentences.
6- Might make new rules... So keep a watch out
7- Type "ShadowRed" in Other section of character sheet if you read these rules

CHARACTER SHEETS:

Tyrantlizardking

Name: David Tyra
Age: 28
Sex: Male
Faction: Red Shadow
Appearance: David is a young, powerful man. His short, brown hair is always styled in a messy look. He has very chiseled features and pale skin. He has green eyes with a bit of hazel in them. He has no freckles, considering there is little sunshine in Baywall due to the weather conditions. He has a tattoo of a Chinese dragon curled up and holding a flaming skull on his upper back. He has a small scar across his right cheek that he got from a thug who attempted to mug him. Didn't turn out too well for the thug.

Personality: Sarcastic, Witty, and Ruthless. Imagine Deadpool but turned down a little bit on the snide remarks.

Bio: David grew up in Baywall. As a child his parents were killed in a car wreck, leaving him with his handicapped uncle who lived a few miles down the street. David took martial arts classes, almost manditory for citizens due to the crime rate. He became an expert in karate and jujitsu. Once he turned twenty he tried to enroll in the Law Enforcement, but got turned down. He was immediately approached by the Red Shadow, and accepted their "invitation".

Body Armor: Shadow Blend

Footwear: Muffled Boots

Head Gear: Red Shadow pullover

Weapons: Dual Kitanas and semi automatic pistol

Gadgets: Shock Shurikens, Mosquitos, and Smoke Grenades

Other: David tries to keep it stealthy. Make quiet kills and tries to lower the other targets morale by placing the body in very unnerving places. Such as hanging from the ceiling, spikes into a wall, etc.

Sounds good

I sent you some ideas for gadgets and weapons. Should be able to work on a sheet today.

Once there is more options I might commit to this.

More options of what? Gadgets, Weapons, Factions?

I need more info to improve...

You're in the most need of a more weapons, footwear, and perhaps another faction. However, I think there could be more of everything.

For me personally when I'm limited to choosing from a list they need to be pretty big lists to compensate for not being able to come up with my own stuff.


A few things off the top of my head:

Powered exoskeleton that gives the highest protection and a bonus to strength at the expense of being extremely slow and making noise.

Poison gas grenades.

Gas mask.

Glass cutter.

Flamethrower.

Some kind of rocket/grenade launcher.

Mines.

Submachine gun.

Assault rifle.

Jetpack that doesn't have the strength to lift somebody in an exoskeleton, loud, easy to see, limited fuel and altitude, risk of injury.

Combat knife.

Taser.

1. No automatic weapons. Definitely not.

2. Exoskeleton is kind of silly, for a stealth based Roleplay.

3. Mines, Gas Mask, glass cutter, and gas grenades I can do. Flamethrower is a little, out there. Jetpack is even more so. There practically already is a combat knife, the assassin's dagger. It's just improved.

EDIT: Equipment has been updated

Mines, too, are a little queer to think about if the very existence of the organization relies on secrecy. Mines - maybe - if it's to distract the attention of their target elsewhere. Otherwise I can't imagine mines being used in a standard operation.


The story about the world war was very obscure. I don't know who was in it, what the main powers were, who allied with who, or who was taking over the other countries. In fact, all we know is that there was a war and that it was bad.

That's a point I was going to come up with. Btw, why no automatic weapons? This IS semi-futuristic, after all.

Automatic weapons have, I would imagine, less fire power behind a bullet than a semi-automatic and would be much louder. Their chambers open and close very often and very fast. Automatic weapons would be a thing if there was a firefight. If that happened, the operation likely failed.

Alright, I guess I'll put a little more backstory on the war. Although I feel it isn't necessary and just to imply that the world is in ruin. It'll take some time, though.

Automatic weapons, I feel, are too "fast". If you try to get away you can evade a semi automatic weapon, but not a full auto one. I guess I could add them in, but that means a whole lot more added to the list, considering the range of automatic weapons, LMG's, PDW's, SMG's, Assault rifles, Full auto pistols, Full auto shotguns, etc.

You don't have to, but (a) variety is the spice of life and (b) if this is in the future, then it should have slightly more advanced-than-modern weapons. We've had automatic weapons since World War I.
