This is one of those threads that is intended to have its plot built as time goes on. I already have some basic plans for starting off but I'm not going to plan to far ahead so that the players have the maximum degree of flexibility in their choices. Why is the backstory so short? Because it's supposed to be. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It was only one of countless boats the plied the amazon river that day, but it carried something only a few others did. On this boat was a small number of operatives for a secret society dedicated to the advancement of technology and science outside the bounds of law and, all to often, morality. These operatives had not even been informed of their mission yet. They were told they would be informed once they reached their destination, a tiny research station that was still some distance up river.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm not going to post a sheet, just post a short intro that includes a rough description of your character's appearance. You can do some minor events (such as the "Hey, I just heard something" concept or "What's that over there.") This takes a lot of strain off of me, by letting me know when the players are bored and giving me some starting material to work with for the encounter. SISE stands for Society of Independent Science and Engineering You're human. While the SISE does have energy weapons at this time, they are not practical in a jungle environment so you wouldn't have them. (rain causes lots of refraction as does wet vegetation and the humidity can short out important components.) They're also usually very large and clunky.
Note: If someone else wants to be the team leader, be my guest. You just have to ask me, and be trusted by me to do a good job.
Note: Your character probably won't use their real name, they'd use a codename (like Cain, Zero, Hades, Saber, Death, etc.)
Some examples of SISE equipment you'd likely have (you can make up model numbers and function for your specific equipment. You can also do other kinds.): Charge rifles: these weapons are similar to modern fire arms but use improved propellants and recoil reduction systems. Many also use an electronic firing system (these are easy to water proof, unlike energy weapons) Carbon fiber armor, clothing, etc.: made from carbon nano-tubes it is far stronger that Kevlar. It is not uncommon that these are made into something similar to a trench coat to disguise their purpose when used as armor. Multi-Optics visor: Basically night vision goggles that contain multiple kinds of optics. Usually including low light, infra-red, and ultraviolet. Some can also have pattern recognition system (for example, outlines footprints, or human figures, or a jaguar.) Rifle scopes can also be made for this. Endothermic grenades: These grenades use a rapid endothermic chemical reaction to abruptly cool their surroundings. These are also known as ice bombs. While originally developed for fighting fires, they are also useful against organic targets and can cause damage to some mechanical components due to the rapid rate which these devices cool their surroundings.
Rules 1. Respect is to be shown out of character at all times 2. Don't godmod 3. If you want to know more, just ask me. I can relate most information. |

Churchill gripped his C. Rifle tightly, knuckles white.
He was a person of average weight and height, with murky brown eyes and pale skin. His shaved hairs were the same color as his eyes, mud in the river. His standard armor gear hid his scarred chest, but not his athletically lean arms.
"Oi, when we getting there?" He asked, the lisp he was cruelly nicknamed for ever-present.

Operative Lancer looked up from the machete he was running a whetstone down "Not too long. Although I can't imagine the kind of trouble they've gotten themselves into this time." He was a Hispanic man of a medium build and slightly taller than average. His face would've been unremarkable and easily forgotten were it not for the knife scar just to the left of his nose. "I was stationed in area five-eighteen for a while, we had to swing by this station a few times." He then held the machete up to inspect it, nodded to himself, then put the blade back into its sheath. |

| Water Heron idly placed himself near a thick copse, watching through minute gaps in the leaves. His charged carbine lay on the ground beside him, oily slick with sweat and grease. A wide-brimmed straw hat hid his face from the sunlight that fell through the canopy, stout build and height obscured by the surrounding foliage. Adjusting his hat, Water Heron shifted awkwardly in the heat, wearing a half-buttoned beige tabard of unseemly carbon-fiber and soft, worn boots laced at the knee; to anyone else he looked like any local you would encounter. For an instant his balding head of pale yellow hair turned to look at the Operative, revealing a pair of pale grey eyes. |

Lancer looked out over the river for a moment before he started checking over his equipment "At least this time we're not going to clean up something that will get in our way before we arrive. We would've been told already if that were the case. We also aren't going in to cover up operation or we'd be blindfolded right now." He looked over a FI49 Charge assault rifle and several clips for it. "I'll bet we're gonna have to transport something or find something. It's not a containment breech unless they changed what they do there." He pulled a P239 charge pistol out of its holster and checked to make sure it was in good order. then slid it back into its holster. |

| A tall 6'6" guy sits down, polishing his Charge Rifle. He is very tall but average built, and slow in speed. He doesn't normally talk but when he does he only says about 3-4 words. He equips the carbon fiber armor and has a endothermic grenade. The basic loadout for an operative. |

then we all explode on the ship and die
lolno
Water Heron turned around once more, conte.mplat.ing silently to himself. Likewise, he began to check his equipment, taking out three box-magazines ne.stled in the dep.ths of his coat. Sprawling himself straight acr.oss the deck, he gru.nted and wiped his brow with the fl.at of his equa.lly sweaty pa.lm. Soon, Her.on was fing.ering rou.nds from their magazines, lying them out by his feet to warm in the mid.day sun. |

(Alright then, answer these questions that Podraptor would be able to answer. What do you know about Jinxy? What is the name of the forum I founded? What were the names of three of my previous characters or 3 threads we both participated in?)

1. I really don't know that much, except that the (s)he was a poster here. 2. KNCRP, as I remember, you sent me a link to that. 3. Well, I only remember the Night Watch. There was one guy named Warder Elm, elf I think; I also remember two guards who were just lesser NPCs. |
