Bliss - Recruiting

[Nikolaz72]

Spoiler: Will Galloway

Area: England

Name: Will Galloway

Nationality: Irish, but born in England.

Age: 26

Education: Studied Engineering and Mechanics at the University of London

Affiliation: Rebel (in secret)

Appearance: Brown hair, green eyes, pale skin. Athletic, but not too muscley. Often seen wearing overalls. Otherwise seen in jeans, a t-shirt and jacket.

Familial status: Single, likes a girl

Social Status: Working Class Engineer 

Notable Skills: Will works at the rebel base and spends his time trying to figure out the mysteries behind the rebel tech with reverse engineering. He has some combat training from the rebel facilities, but he mainly specialises in Tech, remote espionage and strategy.

Personal Philosophy: Will is very flexible in what he believes, although his main goal is to forcefully overcome the aliens, and use that as a stepping stone which might lead him to pioneer contact with deep space. He is not very violent, but is prepared to sacrifice everything for his ultimate goals.

Bio: Born in England, Will comes from a traditionally Irish family. He has lived his whole life in occupation and it was only since he finished his engineering course at University did he realise that with skills like his, he could aid the resistance.

Furthermore, the parents of the girl he likes were killed by the Aliens, which has been another driving force for him to assist the rebels in trying to drive them out.

He has sworn to get them out of this world, and so far, he's been pretty successful.

Well.. Im gonna say its pending. Your character seems a bit too proffecient in fighting Aliens. To put it bluntly, I have nothing against blank slates. Your character has a lot of developement in the characterdepartment left to finish and im fine with that. However.

"He has sworn to get them out of this world and so far he has been successful!"

Sort of suggests that the resistance movement his in is winning? Or that his a pretty awesome guy. Now nothing wrong with that, but I'd like you to show 'why' his awesome by explaining about about 'how' he has been succesfull. How has this mere human engineer managed to outsmart and defeat ( In several conflicts in order to be pretty succesful) A hyperadvanced Alien race.

Area: Australia
Name: Hiko Tatewaike (known by most people as the Voltorb)

Nationality:Japanese, his family moved to Australia by stowing away on a cargo ship two years ago.

Age: 35

Education: master's in human psychology, with a minor in mechanical engineering. has since used them to plant bombs in Alien-supporter groups and buildings.

Affiliation: Rebel(known by his alias)

Appearance: 5'6", 120 pounds, black hair, olive skin, brown eyes, nothing really distinguishing him from anyone else besides him being Japanese in Australia. He has a barely visible scar over his left hand from a childhood accident with a paring knife.

Familial status: Has a dead wife back in Japan, but brought his kids with him, Shizune,15, and Kuno,13. Though they have begun to show interest in what their father does in the basement panic room.

Social Status Free man, outside the occupied zone, but makes occasional forays into the occupied zone to plant bombs and gather materials.

Notable Skills: some experience with firearms, but nothing noteworthy, so he doesn't normally carry one. He competed in local martial art competitions, enough to take on most police and guards, but not enough for actual trained individuals. Some understanding of how basic tech works, but not enough to do much more than tell you if it's real or not.

Personal Philosophy: Protect his family at all costs, and make the supporters of their oppressors pay for what they did to his wife.

Bio: Hiko was born just before the war broke out and grew up during the early years of the occupation. He went to TokyoU, and got his degree which is where he met his wife. For the next decade, he worked in the human resources office of a major corporation as a counselor. He came across an employee that had been tampering with the Alien technology and got dragged into it by association. His wife was ripped to shreds after he and the kids returned from a walk. He gathered what he could before fleeing the country, knowing now that his mechanical minor made him the next target. Since then, he has taken on the guise of Voltorb, his favorite pokemon from his childhood, known for explosions, and took it as a sign for what he must do. Since then, he's used his degrees to his advantage, making bombs that he inscribes with his signature, a Voltorb carved into the casing of the bomb. He sometimes plants them himself, but doesn't like to do it, on account of his children, he doesn't want them growing up without family of any kind, and he doesn't want them following in his footsteps.

The acid bullet is like normal bullets, except at the tip, it contains a solution of highly acidic nitric acid, which will burn through most metals. Will hasn't tested this on anything yet, but he hopes to.

Moreover, he is in the process of working out how to tactically use these in the field of battle, as the alien weaponry is hyperadvanced.

Well. . . A couple of flaws, merely lorebased. First of all, the resistance in England hasnt really gone fully gung-ho yet. And its far from a battlefield, the law enforcement in the area are mainly human (Mostly human, almost only human) So I dont think you have to worry about their weaponry. But I dont think theres a lot of chance of you having an improved advanced weapon. A good engineer would probably be able to make himself an improved normal weapon ^^. . . I would like you to have something to work for ingame. Materials for advanced weapon research, is hard to come by. speccialy for somebody working without funding. And you havent had time to gather everything on your own as you are... only 26. You were born after the occupation and as such I dont think they teach you weapon-making in the uni engineer course. So, have your engineer learn how to walk before he starts building plasma weaponry. Have him build a normal gun perhaps? Those are hard enough to come by in a pacifist nation occupied by a hypertechnological alien race.

Spoiler

Area: Mexico
Name: Robert Sinclair
Nationality: Californian. Smuggled into Mexico for a job by an unknown organisation, drugged and woke up in a desert with a briefcase holding his instructions and a revolver.
Age: Mid 30s
Education: Top schooling available in his area, and books he stole, found or was given to satisfy what the mandated content of the education system could not. See bio for extra detail.
Affiliation: Mercenary, industrial spy for hire.
Appearance: Tall and semi thick set, with tight brown curls and a few days worth of beard on his face. Dark violet eyes and an unremarkable face showing signs of damage from past conflicts.
Familial status: Alone.
Notable skills: Adept at using and keeping firearms in working condition, lock picking, knowledge of the alien script and language.
Personal philosophy: Anarchist, there shouldn?t even be a government, and it sure as hell shouldn?t be some goddamn aliens who into came into power because of the failure of previous human ones. But the first step is removing the oppressor that so many seem complacent with.
Bio: Born in the town of Twentynine Palms in the Mojave desert Sinclair became used to its harsh environment, and was always simmering with anger about the occupation of earth. To ensure his anger did not overtake he exercised in the desert, running, lifting and throwing rocks, sit ups, to build up his strength for the revolution he felt must be coming. On one of his runs he came across a cave system set deep in the desert, away from any other life, inhabited by a group of anarchists who had slipped away from the aliens early in the occupation, and based their lifestyle on that of the Fremen from Frank Herbert?s Dune. They gave him a copy of their handbook, which was select passages from Dune and various anarchist books and pamphlets. They undertook dangerous jobs for anyone who wanted them, and trained Sinclair to become one of them, teaching him how to use weapons, how to fight, and also training his mind with their library of books they had carried away in the hope of building a utopia. They warned him if the threat of organised power and religions, Bliss in particular. He was soon one of their key members, but the age of some members and the nature of their work thinned the numbers. Eventually he was the only one left.
One day someone left the signal they had a job they needed doing. Upon reaching the meeting point he was drugged into a stupor. The next thing he remembered was the dust slamming into him as he was thrown onto the desert floor with a briefcase after him, then a car speeding away. Opening the briefcase he found he needed to join his employer?s gang and kill an informer.
After successfully doing so he was contacted and decided to stay in Mexico and offer his services to the highest bidder, retrieving the precious books from the now empty cave first.

Looks nice, though after his first job he returned to the USA, got the books and then back to Mexico? Think this part over.
Did they teach a young boy how to use guns? Also, lock-picking. There are human and there are Alien locks. I assume you know just how to do Human locks. Furthermore, there are two species (Sorry for saying that even if it's not in the first post as I have yet to complete it) so you'd know the language of which one? The first occupies the UK, Australia, has posts in North America, Asia (Kyushu Island) and middle east. Other has Parts of Mexico, India, Posts in S. America and Africa.

Nationality: English

Age: 20

Education: Academic education is minimal, literacy and numeracy at an 'adequate' level. However he has an ignored knowledge gained from the Alien workplace. *What types of work would an English worker/slave be doing for the Alien race, what are they manufacturing in England?*

Affiliation: Addict

Appearance: Starved and almost emaciated in figure with tufts of hair missing from the scalp and a haggard expression nearly permanently residing on his gaunt face.

Familial status: Single

Notable Skills: Any skills needed for the workplace. *What What types of work would an English worker/slave be doing for the Alien race, what are they manufacturing in England?*

Personal Philosophy: "Keep quiet and do what you're told, don't deviate and what ever you do, make sure you submit!"

Brian was born with the oppressive nature of the Alien occupation in full swing. Brian had: little hope of a childhood, a bare essentials education and a life of drudgery waiting for him in adult life. Born from an unremarkable father and an outspoken mother, Brian's early years were remarkably boring. It was the sight of his mother being dragged out of the house, screaming about forgotten religions and oppressed rights, that produced even the barest hint of emotion from Brian. But it didn't take long for his father to quell even this flicker of emotion with a speech that would follow Brian throughout his childhood.

"Keep quiet and do what you're told, don't deviate and what ever you do, make sure you submit!"

It's not surprising that the allure of pills which could leave you in a blissful stupor was strong for Brian, even if you didn't follow the religion, and at a young age he was hooked. His after school hours were made up of an apathetic blur of begging and stealing to fund his habit. Years passed and the only constants in Brian's life are his father's words, a life of fulfilling the needs of his superiors as a minimum wage, glorified automaton and the promise of bliss once his days work is finished.

Is there a street name for the drug?

Spoiler: Theodore Wash

Area: UK

Name: Theodore "Theo" Wash

Nationality: American-English

Age: 29

Education: BS in Mechanical Engineering

Affiliation: London Rail Transportation (employer), leaning towards rebels but not fully invested

Appearance: 6'1", medium build, short brown hair, dark blue eyes.

Familial status: Single

Social Status: Lower-middle class. Works as an engineer on star ships, which earns him decent pay for a human.

Notable Skills: Adequate firearms skills, understands basic language of (whatever race owns England), understanding of some alien technology.

Personal Philosophy: Communist. Theo has secretly obtained and read through the works of Karl Marx, Vladimir Lenin, Mao Zedong, and others and firmly believes that a united communist Earth would be best for humanity.

Bio: The Wash family, like many others, immigrated from the United States to Europe pre-invasion to escape an increasingly oppressive government. Theo's parents wound up in the slums surrounding London, slums that now housed many other American immigrants. Theo was born in one of these slums post-invasion, and so has known no other life but one under the alien regime. Despite alien policy regarding human education, Theo's parents managed to get him into a private school of technology were he discovered a passion for building and engineering. Although he was not allowed to learn much history, he also found himself interested in old political philosophy. During the later stages of his education, Theo managed to smuggle some old books into the country, such as the "Communist Manifesto" and "The Prince", and began reading through them religiously. By the time he became a fully qualified engineer, Theo had already decided that he wanted to work towards a communist government. Once qualified, Theo got a job with the local railroad company, London Rail Transportation (rough translation). About 3 years into this job, Theo was approached by one of his co-workers in private and was asked to join the resistance. He declined, but swore that he wouldn't rat anyone out. The next day the co-worker mysteriously vanished, either taken by the government or fleed to the resistance. Although the man was gone, the idea of joining still lingers in Theo's mind, and recently he has seriously considered it, though has yet to act on it.

Just let me know if this conflicts with anything (which I'm sure it does) and I'll happily change it.

Name of the drug is Bliss. I think the sheet looks alright. Keep in mind that the Alien occupation is sort of passive-aggressive. They mostly work through the actual goverment and you dont see them have much of an effect safe for the massive cut in social-security and military spending.

I tried to make this character as balanced as possible, Tell me if there's any problems.



Area: the UK, England.

Name: Colin Sunwood

Nationality: English.

Age: 38.

Education: Advanced general healthcare, Practical emergency first aid experience.

Affiliation: Allied to the ruling government via career in the Military and police health services.

Appearance: 5ft 8inches, non-athletic but slim built, Usually wears plain shirts tie and trousers when off duty and a lab coat when he is. Cropped lightbrown hair with early flecks of grey, Always carries a pair of reading glasses and a penlight.

Familial status: Single, But parents and siblings survive elsewhere outside immediate travel range.

Social Status: Middle class worker, Would be well off if not for the alien occupation.

Notable Skills: Medical training for patent recovery as well as immediate aid for serious wounds, Has scattered knowledge of the alien agenda through patients but nothing of practical value, Once performed an emergency recovery of an alien during a riot and so knows a little of alien inner anatomy, Is recognised by enforcement in his local area and tends to be given slightly more liberty than the average citizen but is still subject to the same tight laws.

Personal Philosophy: Having grown up and been educated during the alien takeover living with aliens is very much he norm for him, Although he does recognise that life was better when humans had the planet to themselves. He does not wish for a mass extermination of alien kind but certainly sees the merit in humanity being given control of its own destiny as he seriously questions their motives. He has not worked towards accomplishing this goal particularly hard aside from offering aid to wounded rioters as he does not initially believe resistance will be successful.

Bio: Raised during the fall of earth his early memories are confusing and generally unpleasant, During adulthood he had garnered the skill necessary to practice medicine and went on to work as a police surgeon in order to gain some trust from the otherwise dystopian life on the streets. Through his career he has tended to rioters, rebels, citizens crushed under the heel of the law, Military and police enforcers and even the occasional alien. After seeing the effects of subjugation from wounded rebels brought to him he has little faith left in the resistance movement and can only hope for as painless an assimilation into the aliens plans as possible.

 

[TheIronRuler]

So when will we start this RP?

.
First of all - There is a long way to go. We need about 4-6 players for each area and enough GMs for those.
Sorry to disappoint you, but you should wait longer so other people will have the chance to join just like how you did.

Accepted, good to have at least one older person in the group.

 

[Technetium]

Spoiler: Will Galloway

Area: England

Name: Will Galloway

Nationality: Irish, but born in England.

Age: 26

Education: Studied Engineering and Mechanics at the University of London

Affiliation: Rebel (in secret)

Appearance: Brown hair, green eyes, pale skin. Athletic, but not too muscley. Often seen wearing overalls. Otherwise seen in jeans, a t-shirt and jacket.

Familial status: Single, likes a girl

Social Status: Working Class Engineer 

Notable Skills: Will works at the rebel base and spends his time trying to figure out the mysteries behind the rebel tech with reverse engineering. He has some combat training from the rebel facilities, but he mainly specialises in Tech, remote espionage and strategy.

Personal Philosophy: Will is very flexible in what he believes, although his main goal is to forcefully overcome the aliens, and use that as a stepping stone which might lead him to pioneer contact with deep space. He is not very violent, but is prepared to sacrifice everything for his ultimate goals.

Bio: Born in England, Will comes from a traditionally Irish family. He has lived his whole life in occupation and it was only since he finished his engineering course at University did he realise that with skills like his, he could aid the resistance.

Furthermore, the parents of the girl he likes were killed by the Aliens, which has been another driving force for him to assist the rebels in trying to drive them out.

He has sworn to get them out of this world, and so far, he's been pretty successful.

Well.. Im gonna say its pending. Your character seems a bit too proffecient in fighting Aliens. To put it bluntly, I have nothing against blank slates. Your character has a lot of developement in the characterdepartment left to finish and im fine with that. However.

"He has sworn to get them out of this world and so far he has been successful!"

Sort of suggests that the resistance movement his in is winning? Or that his a pretty awesome guy. Now nothing wrong with that, but I'd like you to show 'why' his awesome by explaining about about 'how' he has been succesfull. How has this mere human engineer managed to outsmart and defeat ( In several conflicts in order to be pretty succesful) A hyperadvanced Alien race.

Sorry bout that. Somehow it got cut off at the end. Anyway, I've made one change and retyped up what was missing

Furthermore, the parents of the girl he likes were killed by the Aliens, which has been another driving force for him to assist the rebels in trying to drive them out.

He has sworn to get them out of this world, and so far, he's been pretty successful in the development of his first piece of comabt weaponry, with the aid of an ex-mercenary/mechanic, who joined the British Resistance, who had been only doing minor missions such as tracking known alien sympathisers up till now. He called the weapon (a small pistol) "acid bullet". The materials were hard to come by and weren't cheap, but at least there were plenty of them at the rebel base.He is hoping to make more weapons, and maybe even improve a few more when he gets round to it.

Moreover, he is in the process of working out how to tactically use these in the field of battle, as the alien weaponry is hyperadvanced, and if you have less powerful firearms, it's better to sit back and think about how you would act. Unfortunatley, he has only done simulation exercises, as Britain isn't exactly a violent country. He has no real battle experience.

Well. . . A couple of flaws, merely lorebased. First of all, the resistance in England hasnt really gone fully gung-ho yet. And its far from a battlefield, the law enforcement in the area are mainly human (Mostly human, almost only human) So I dont think you have to worry about their weaponry. But I dont think theres a lot of chance of you having an improved advanced weapon. A good engineer would probably be able to make himself an improved normal weapon ^^. . . I would like you to have something to work for ingame. Materials for advanced weapon research, is hard to come by. speccialy for somebody working without funding. And you havent had time to gather everything on your own as you are... only 26. You were born after the occupation and as such I dont think they teach you weapon-making in the uni engineer course. So, have your engineer learn how to walk before he starts building plasma weaponry. Have him build a normal gun perhaps? Those are hard enough to come by in a pacifist nation occupied by a hypertechnological alien race.

Edited. Am happy to take any changes suggested.

 

[TheIronRuler]

So when will we start this RP?

.
First of all - There is a long way to go. We need about 4-6 players for each area and enough GMs for those. Secondly, you haven't been accepted yet.
Acting impatiently only decreases your chances of getting in... Sorry to disappoint you, but you should wait longer so other people will have the chance to join.

Sorry dude I wasn't being impatient, I was just wondering how long do you think it will take to start it up.

.
Hm... At least three more days. I need to gather two more GMs and then we need to see how many actually sign in BESIDES the UK.

 

[That Annoying Guy]

I forgot to check lately but here is my CS.
<spoiler=Isaac Ryan>
Area: Australia

Name: Isaac Ryan

Nationality: Australian, born in Alice Springs.

Age: 29

Education: Home schooled by his parents to secondary by his mother a high school teacher, and his father a dentist.

Affiliation: Was one of the Bliss, though he left due to their change in ideals. Isaac now takes up arms with a small rebellion.

Appearance: Isaac is a smaller guy standing in around 5'1" and is of an average weight of 110lbs. He has short brown hair, one blue eye and one brown eye due to acquired heterochromia from a tumor in his head (that was removed) when he was 7. Due to the occupation of Australia, he uses anything he can find in terms of clothing; currently he wears a bloodied t-shirt covered by a brown pull-over, sleeve-less hoodie, blue jeans, and a dirty pair of grey sneakers he took from a corpse.

Familial Status: Single

Social Status: Free man. For now.

Notable Skills: Before leaving the Bliss, Isaac was a Reverend's assistant having many dealings with the aliens. This eventually allowed him to learn and speak the basics of their language. He would also be heard sometimes giving the daily chants and doing some of the recruiting for the Bliss making him a very persuasive individual.

Personal Philosophy: In the beginning, believing the aliens to be saviors he revered them as saints but once he began to see their true intentions, the former Bliss member saw that they were not here to bring them back to the euphoric land and find peace but to do the exact opposite. After leaving and abandoning his former brothers and sisters, his only beliefs became survival and to save those of whom he loves and cares for by helping to rid the world of this new-found evil.

Biography:
Isaac was born shortly after the after the occupation of Australia, (one of the first continents to go) to Micheal Ryan a dentist and Janice Walters a high school teacher (who later changed her last name to Ryan). His father was one of the "first" Bliss to ascend on the 29th of February, leaving Isaac's mother and his belongings and returned with the common short term memory loss that all Bliss had.

Ten months after Isaac was born, his father was carrying him while walking downstairs to go partake in a "Blissful" moment, when he slipped and fell down the stairs. Fortunately Isaac was tightly held onto until he slipped out of his father's grip and fell one foot onto his head; to the surprise of his parents the Baby Isaac was fine. Though when at the age of seven, Janice and her husband Micheal seemed to notice that one of Isaac's blue eyes turned brown, and he seemed to suffer from frequent headaches. As this was not normal they consulted with their doctor and a cat-scan was preformed on him. The reason was revealed; a tumor. Lodged in his head from the drop when he was 10 months old; Isaac was lucky, a week later a life saving operation was preformed and the two inch tumor was removed.

As Isaac grew older, he was taught how to read, and write while being home schooled; all the while his father constantly trying to push the Bliss onto his son. Eventually it became too much for his mother and a one-sided fight broke out, and in a fit of fear and anger Isaac ran from the house. He ran until he had no breath left. He planned on running more but before he got the chance something calmed him, it was a public chanting session being preformed by the Bliss. It entangled him, it mesmerized him. The following week he joined the Bliss and when he came home wearing the Bliss' clothing he got mixed reactions, his mother scolded him and refused to talk to him while his father's face lit up more exuberant then a Christmas tree. They moved closer to the coast just as his father wanted. Inevitably his mother and father broke-up, his mother wanting nothing to do with either of them, and his father slowly becoming more and more reliant on the pills and reaching eternal bliss. Isaac became the Reverend's assistant in dealings with the Harnoi, little by little learning their language and trying to understand their culture and sometimes giving public chants. But peace can't ever be eternal

When he was 25 it all crashed down on him; when returning from the church he personally witnessed the Reverend offering to show three muggers the life of peace and bliss, but they declined. Suddenly a Harnoi came from behind them and viciously, mercilessly killed them with some sort of device he'd never seen before. Terrified and confused he ran home to find his father had overdosed on the pink pills; he was gone. He drove angrily to the church of the Bliss, "Is this the way of the Bliss?" he frantically asked the Reverend who only seemed to reply "Have you taken the Blissful pill today?" As Isaac was about to retaliate in anger the church was engulfed in flames, they were under attack and Isaac ran out of the doors and dropped off the Bliss' clothing. He noticed the three muggers that were killed earlier and took clothing from each of them, his hand touched something metal in one of the pockets and as he pulled it out he realized it was a gun and dropped it in fear. A small crowd began to walk in Isaac's direction but because he no longer wore the clothes and was wearing his hood up no-one could recognize him.

He hid in the back of a Bliss supply truck until he made it back home to Alice Springs. He continued to survive there for four more years until they began to show up in Alice Springs, then he was on the run.

Let me know if it needs reworking or if I need to shorten the bio, I didn't realize how long it was until I was finished.
