"So You Want to be a Mercenary."

Well, let me just say. You sir (or madame) have made a fine choice. Basically if you're a mercenary, you have the joy of working for a well run union called the Mercenary Guild. The guild collects lists of jobs and passes them out to members according to rank and general prestige. The recipient of the job is paid for their work and must give a percentage back to the guild. Don't like it? Tough. No going rogue mercenary. The guild doesn't like competition and you will be hunted like a pig hunts for truffles. Also, if the guild receives big jobs and wants to grub some money from them they will receive the payment and pass it out in small paychecks to members and organize them as a full force to complete one big mission. Essentially if we see big money, we enforce conscription. All funds belonging to members of the guild are stored in a guild bank (there is a guild bank at each guild building). This keeps your money safe for no extra charge and also should you die on a mission, it allows the guild to reclaim your money from your bank account rather than letting it go to waste when your killers inevitably rob you blind after they force a pike through your pelvis and into your kidneys and large intestine.

If you still wish to enlist (and I assure you, you're making a fine choice,) then here is the sign up sheet. Please fill it ouot in full and submit it for review. Have a nice day.

Name: Basically whatever you want but if it's something stupid, then no offense but I'll be making you change it. Basically if you give your character names like Drake, Seeker Von Hell-Licker, etc I'll politely ask you to change them. And if you name a character after yourself.... no. Just no.

Gender: Guy? Girl? Or ambiguous hermaphrodite.

Age: How old you are. Pretty simple.

Birthplace: Where you're from. Mercenaries can be from all over the place as there are guild offices just about everywhere. Don't limit yourself. Just... don't be from Mars or something like that, or from hell, or an angel..... or from some alternate dimension.

Description: Include Height, Weight, Hair and eye color. Any Defining features, clothes, build, all that good stuff.

Bio-Alterations: Well, it's set in the future. You can basically go nuts with what you do to your body. Get a hand chopped off in battle? Not a problem. Want a telescoping left eye made out of glass and physics? We have that. Want to mount some sort of laser in your finger? Yeah we can probably do that too. Just no ridiculous shit like a nuclear warhead in your wrist.

History: Optional. If you do it, I'll likely just skim through it to make sure it makes some kind of sense.

Weapon: I assume you'll have one unless you really love the body mods. You can basically have anything. But again, nothing nuclear. That would be overpowered. If your sword can destroy the earth, you'll have to come up with a new sword.

Weapon Skills: Available Options include Swords, Staves, Blunt weapons and Combat Mechs. Specializing in something outside of a Combat Mech offers a higher chance of Promotion.

Special Combat Abilities: Mech or Non? Explain any amazing abilities fully, including the training required to Acquire such skills.

======================
Mobile Suits/Biomech
======================

Type 01: MUGGER [link] [link]

The Mugger is the smallest unit of the available Mercenary Mechs. Each unit is mounted with a cannon on the right shoulder and powerful arms designed for powerful punches. Each one has available storage space in the bags on the front which are removable and double as backpacks. Unfortunately due to their small size and cost efficiency, little weapon customization can be done to them. What you see is effectively what you get.

Type 02: CIGARO [link] [link]

The Cigaro is the mercenaries' mid sized mech. It has rockets attached to the front and back which allow flight over short distances. Unlike the Mugger, Cigaro's possess hands with opposable fingers. Although these fingers mean its punches are weaker (too strong and they would be damaged) it gives greater option for weapons, as they can hold guns. The standard issue weapons for the Cigaro are powerful pistols and the stately bazooka.

Type 03: FARMBOY [link] [link] [link] [link]

The FarmBoy is the largest of the mercenary mechs. Its size and hard shell make it somewhat slow moving but it is very durable, capable of withstanding most bombs. Like the Cigaro it has fingered hands and can hold various weapons. Standard issue weapons for the FarmBoy are pistols, a large gatling gun, and the occasional anti-aircraft cannon. The AA cannon is rare as it has a lot of kick when fired, making accurate shots difficult. It also only has 3 shots and takes a long time to reload. It is not recommended for use outside of team combat.

This is a journal containing descriptions of areas in a city called Skyless City for a chat.

Gas Town: Gas Town is considered the old part of the city, containing buildings which are nearly all between 50 and 100 years old. It contains a mixture of apartments and small stores. It is reasonably busy as it is attached to the 'Hub' or downtown area of Skyless City, the busiest part of town.

The Hub: The Hub is a widely used slang term for the downtown center of Skyless city. It contains many shops, restaurants and cafes, and is the busiest part of town. The Hub received its name because it is the center of town, with connections to all of the major streets which extend away from it like spokes from a wheel's hub.

Statue Plaza: A small area containing major department stores as well as a monument to the founders and CEOs of the major factories in the city. They had the monument erected and it has statues of all 12 of the major factory owners, standing in a line, side by side in the center of the plaza. One of the statues has been defaced and damaged and is no longer very recognizable.

Fog Land: Fog Land is a nickname for a small district in Skyless City. It gets its nickname from a thick fog which covers it at all times. This fog is made from vapours which float up from anearby canal. The canal is constantly steaming because of the boiling factory run-off which is emptied into the canal, causing steam when it meets with the cold water. The area has a parking lot which is well outside the fog, since they don't want cars driving through since the low visibility could cause accidents. Fog Land is home to many shady stores and homeless people. It is known for illegal activity and the selling of outlawed goods.

Industrial Road: Industrial Road is where 11 of the city's 12 major factories are. The area is dank and dirty and it is the darkest area of the city, since it is the source of the smog. The road is generall walked by jaded and tired factory workers, sick of their work and depressed by their jobs. It is a magnet for Noise, attracted by the negative feelings and there are many cursed people there.

The Blue Sky Coproration building: The city's 12th major factory. behind the factory and production areas, there is an enormous office building between the factory's smokestacks. This factory is the largest and most successful in Skyless City (although no one buys its products anymore). The corporation has been protested many times to no avail because it causes the most pollution of all the factories. Its owner has not left the building in years and his statue is the one that has been defaced in The Statue Plaza, so no one's entirely certain what he looks like anymore. The gates are always closed and locked, and nothing is ever seen coming or going except shipping trucks which leave from the back. Although the CEO is never seen, he is considered the most powerful man int he city, and is believed to be involved in secretive organized crime.

The Underground: The Underground is an underground complex with some small stores attached to the subway which can be used to commute across town. The subway is usually broken down however, and rarely available for use. There's rumours that the subway has a hidden tunnel network containing routes used by advocates of organized crime. The conspiracy theorists believe that one of those hidden tunnels leads to the Blue Sky Corporation.

Carnaval de Estrellas: This is a large pier on the coast. On the pier is a largee carnival style theme park area which runs all year round since it never snows. This area is extremely popular and gets alot of business because it is the only area in town where the sky can be seen, but only at night. At night when the factories aren't running full speed, he smog above the city recedes anough that out across the water, the stars and sometimes even the moon can be seen jutting out from behind the smoke. The Carnival has many lights and is the brightest area in town. There are very few noise there.

Back Story!: This is an RP chat based off of the game The World Ends With You for the Nintendo DS

This room takes place in a town called Skyless City. Skyless City has its name because it has many factories, and the smog they produce completely blocks out the sky, leaving the town in a constant shadow. As a result, street lights are always on and lanterns tend to be everywhere. The factories are coated in graffiti, much of it negative. The entire town is decrepit and melancholy and its population is becoming more and more dull and distant. The Composer feels that this city's citizens don't deserve to live, condemning them for the mess they have created, and for destroying the town. Because of this judgement, games are being held here, one after the other, again and again in an attempt to exterminate the population and empty the city. Reapers have been doing things such as invading factories and increasing their output in order to pollute their surrounding areas, killing factory workers. They've also been out in the streets, murdering people, all to fuel the games. This situation takes place before the events in the actual DS game The World Ends With You.

The open areas in the city are described here: [link]

Rules

In Character Rules

- No God-Moding. Your character cannot be super powered. No killing massive amounts of people in seconds. No power playing, no auto hits, and you cannot block every time. Things like this are severely frowned upon in the roleplaying world.

- There are virtually no fantasy characters allowed in this roleplay. The rp is set in the world we live in now. No Elves, magic, anthro, etc. Human!

- Weapons will be limited. Your character cannot have 5 guns, knifes, grenades, and a sawed off shotgun on their back. You can only carry one kind of weapon, relative to your character. No bazooka and samurai sword combo. That would just be... stupid.

Any and All characters are subject to Character Death. We realize that this may venture on the side of god-modding, but that is not the purpose of the rule. The room is built upon death and erasing people. I'm sure if you really don't want your character to die, then you can work it out with whomever you are rping with. But you must understand. Death is a very important and large part of this room. The complete goal of game masters and reapers is to KILL you. You kill people... other people will in turn, want to kill you back. It's not going to be a frequent occurence, but nonetheless, every now and then, someone WILL have to die.

Out of Character Rules

when talking OOC (out of character, put a bracket at the end of your post, such as ])}. This helps us know the differenc ebetween who is and isn't in an rp.

- Being rude and obnoxious is just wrong. If the founders catch wind of a reoccurring offender, you will be warned and then banned.

- Tying into the previous rule, please be respectful to other members. That includes beliefs, ideas, ect. There is to be no talk of drugs, drug use, alcohol use, strong sexual content and innuendos, politics, or religious talk in the room, seeing as how it may offend or make people uncomfortable. Unless it relates directly to an rp, it outta here.

- In this room, I AM GOD. No getting around it. Don't annoy me, or I will rain vengeance and wrath upon you.

- Please try to use proper grammar and punctuation when posting and when OOC. It's understandable to forget punctuation when speaking with friends but over use of '.........' only takes up space in posting. Please keep spelling errors to a minimum.

- We're sorry to say this, but no one is perfect at everything. Your skills don't need to be as long as your life story. And if your list of skills is very long in your character profile, please provide where and when your character learned these skills.

- Pertaining Weaknesses: Saying ‘regular weaknesses’ such as they die if they are shot, or susceptible of infection, ect are not viable weakness. They need to have something else such as a bum leg, asthma, short term memory, panic attacks, chronic fear of the dark, something like that. The fact that they can die, is not a good enough weakness. Like, seriously. "My character is weak against bullets!" or "My character dies when a knife stabs him in the heart" will not cut it.

One final footnote, please be original with your characters. If I get anyone and I mean ANYONE who says "I want it to look EXACTLY like this character who's in the game only with a different shirt and an eyepatcyh and also they have the same powers and they're first name is different but the last name is the same because OMG they're actually they're SON!!!" Will be yelled at, made fun of and then told to start over. NO BEING RELATED OR CONNECTED IN ANY WAY TO CHARACTERS FROM THE REAL GAME! That's just stupid and if allowed eventually we'd end up with Neku Sakuraba or (insert other character from game here) having 27 children, 43 brothers and sisters, and a million cousins and best friends. Seriously. Stuff like that is a lame crutch.

First and foremost, the room is here! [link]

Back Story!: This is an RP chat based off of the game No More Heroes for the Nintendo Wii.

Here's the basic plotline from the game: The story follows Travis Touchdown, who is a stereotypical otaku—his motel room decorated with professional wrestling and anime collectibles—living in near poverty in the No More Heroes motel of Santa Destroy, California. After winning a beam katana in an internet auction, he becomes a hitman. When he runs out of money to buy video games, he accepts a job to kill the 'Drifter' aka Helter Skelter, which earns him rank 11 by the UAA, a governing body of assassins. Realizing that he has now made himself a target for aspiring assassins, he sets out to secure himself the coveted position of number one hitman in the UAA

Basically, in this room, you are an assassin in Santa Destroy, under careful watch fromt he UAA. Your goal? To become Number One. Once you become number one, that can never be taken away from you. Even if someone else reaches the same rank, it can always be known that you are both the very best of the best. In order to ascend in rank, you will have to participate in a ranked fight against an obscure side character (quite possibly pulled from the game) controleld by me. If you arerying to take osmeone's rank from them in doing this, then both of you will fihght against the same opponent and whoever does the best shall receive the rank. This is to avoid character killing as much as possible, otherwise many many characters would die, and there would be an abundance of arguments, and lots of people would get banned very quickly. I don't want that to happen.

One final footnote, please be original with your characters. One of the ones fromt he game was an old woman with a shopping cart that turned into a huge laser cannon! If I get people saying they're a ninja, or that they are master of the katana, I will insult them pointedly. It's MODERN DAY. How many ninjas do oyu see out on the streets? If you see any, you're either high or in a messed up town.
