Forums / Roleplaying / Dead Silence Sign Ups

Seeing who is interested. Haven't made an RP here in a long time and wondering if I made a wise decision.  For those that remember my previous short Dead Silence RP, this is unrelated.

In the year 2093, the United States of America finished the construction of the United States Space Station Augustus (USSS – Augustus).  The station was the largest one ever created by an earthen country and it was made purely to be a civilian station.  A city the size of Chicago was crafted within the station and a large clear shield of extremely durable glass was formed around the top.  The city was named Olympus because it was the first city to exist in space. 

On February 21^st, 2097, at 8:31am, an unidentified ship appeared on the detection grids of the Augustus but did not respond to communications.  It headed straight for the space station and continued to ignore warnings.  The ship was about to be destroyed by the stations auto-defense system when it self-destructed in an enormous explosion.  The outer shield of the Augustus was overwhelmed by the blast and cracked under the pressure.  Instantly, the station’s integrity was compromised and became a horrible scene of death.  The environmental containment was breached and air quickly rushed out of the station.  Hundreds of thousands people died within minutes and more became horribly injured in the panic that followed.  The military forces of the station tried to control the situation, but suddenly found the station under attack by an unknown enemy.  Several small ships entered the perimeter of the Augustus station and enemies began taking out any persons they came upon.

At 9:12am, an emergency distress signal was sent out to the International Space Station orbiting above Earth.  A recorded message of a security officer explaining the situation was contained in the message, and it also showed the officer being killed by several unknown enemies breaking into the command room.   Only several minutes later, General Arthur Hendrickson ordered a United States Marine unit under the command of First Sergeant Charley Ernst.  His men were ordered to bring the station back under the control of the United States, rescue any survivors, and escort a team of engineers to fix the break in the station’s shield.

RULES
-I am God.  If I don’t like what you do, I can “encourage” you to change your mind or else I will ask you to leave.
-All character sheets will be PMed to me BEFORE posting them so that I may allow or disallow them.
-All current rules, ones not listed, or new ones that may be introduced all follow my God rule.  If someone does something that I don’t like, and I have no current rule forbidding it, I may make a rule forbidding it.

THE NOs
-NO introducing new enemies without my consent.
-NO Godmoding! That means: No killing numerous enemies with ease and other related areas.
-NO Ubering! That means: No creating some perfect character that basically is never challenged by any obstacle in the RP.  A good character is one that can develop as the RP progresses, a bad one doesn’t.

CLASSES
Rifleman – A marine specialized in the use of assault rifles or snipers.  Each soldier carries a standard issue Lightweight Penetrating Assault Rifle (LPCAR) that has a medium range.  The weapon is not effective for close combat due to the length, and it is not powerful enough to reach long ranges.  All soldiers wear a suit of tough SteelSkin armor that can stop shrapnel and some lower caliber bullets.  It cannot stop the rounds from assault rifles or sniper rifles.  All soldiers also have a heads up display integrated into their helmet that reduced friendly fire incidents and allows squad leaders to keep track of their men.  They all carry standard issue 9mm pistols with no exceptions.  They all carry only two fragmentation or high explosive grenades. 

Sniper – A marine specialized in attacking enemies from a distance.  He trains for accuracy and precision takedowns of enemies, but is not as capable in closer combat.  The sniper carries a standard bolt-action high velocity sniper rifle that can pierce most obstacles excluding heavily armored vehicles.  They all carry standard issue 9mm pistols with no exceptions.  Snipers carry either one fragmentation or high explosive grenade. 

Engineer – A marine specialized in close combat and also machines, the engineer carries a standard issue 9mm sub-machine gun.  They excel at close combat and are poor at medium and long range fighting.  They all carry a standard issue 9mm pistol with no exception.  Engineers can carry three explosive weapons including: Fragmentation grenade, high explosive grenade, or breaching charges for infiltrating rooms effectively. 

Medic – A marine that has trained to be a doctor in the heat of battle.  The medic works to stabilize wounded men while on the front lines and carries any supplies needed to make this possible.  They all carry standard issue compact sub-machine guns that are designed for self-defense rather than offensive capabilities.  They also carry standard issue 9mm pistols with no exceptions.  Medics carry two gas grenades that can render enemies unconscious or they can carry two incendiary grenades that light the air around it on fire.

Biatches deleted mah 1st post.

Name: Mark "Leopard" Wilson
Age: 25
Rank: Private
Short Bio: Born in Angola on 14th Februari 1984. He is the son of an American ambassador and his wife stationed there. They lived in several parts of the country resulting in Mark speaking several languages, among which Portuguese, English and French. As a child he used to run of to the grasslands or forests to play hide and seek and soldierboy with the few friends he had there. As a result he is very skilled when it comes to stealth, resulting in his nickname "Leopard", referring to the Black Leopard, a rare animal sighted in the African forests. Growing up around the soldiers guarding his parents, he learned a lot about weapons and how to use them. He's a silent man, but the look in his eyes inspire all who see them.
Class: Sniper
Miscellaneous: Though he is very stealthy and pretty accurate, he has a weakness for blood(when seeing it from closeby) and he is not as good a fistfighter as most soldiers.

This is the current list of players.  I will try to continue the RP after 4-5 people have posted(And after waiting about 24 hours roughly).  I don't want to keep waiting for the last 1-2 people so that the others don't just leave.

Now where teh fook have you been? o:

heh, well I have summer work starting tomorrow(Which is actually today because it is 12:44am now) and will be gone all morning until the late afternoon.  Means I won't be able to continue my RP until probably the late evening for the Europeans.

I will advance the RP right about this time.  It should be most likely 8:30 or 9:30pm depending on where you are located.  I will count every 24 hours of no posting as one day of inactivity.  48 hours of unexplained inactivity is death :)  I also get to choose how you die :p 

Fine, I guess I will give the first enemy that we will meet(I will introduce them and such). 

Haldinian Soldier
-Basically the same as the US Marine except more heavily armored and carries a high velocity and penetrating assault rifle. They can take twice as many hits as the US Marine due to their complex armor system that automatically begins treating wounds and giving pain killers.  They have a more advanced Heads Up Display that allows them to coordinate attacks effectively.  Attacking enemies while outnumbered is suicide.  They are smart, heavily armed and armored.  Many of them sometimes place traps on their weapons so that they cannot be confiscated and studied. The Haldinian soldiers are typically very aggressive and strong fighters, but some are calm and patient in order to flush out enemies.  They currently do not know of the Marine infiltration of the station at the moment.

Keep in mind that we do not know of them as "The Haldinians" since we haven't had communications with them or seen much of them.  All of this info that I just put up above is info that we DON'T know about them yet, so don't act like you knew all of that :p 

So basically fighting them 1v1 is very bad :)  Fighting 2v1 is more even :)  and fighting 8v8 is bad as well :)  I don't like one man shows, so if anyone starts killing like 2-3 by themself, it is a pretty bad sign...

Can one guy ambush a single Haldinian patrol? As in sneak up behind him and gullet him reaaal good like? Mmm like a fish. Yeehaw boi!

One guy shouldn't be off on his own O_o  and the Haldinians travel in groups of at least 2-3 men.  One man patrols is rather bad.(They watched movies) :p
Melee combat is something that should be very very very rarely seen because that is rather hard to do unless both people are out of ammo and no one else is around to help either side O_o  And the fact that their armor would be difficult to penetrate with a knife or sword. :  Stick to shooting at them :p

I don't want to see people running down a hallway with bullets flying around them and somehow kill an enemy or two with a sword...rather impossible :p  I am a realist in a sense.

There's nothing that can stop an Energy Sword, except an Energy Sword ;)

Light Sabers then?

lol :P fail :P actually swords can stop bullets ;) u can be a realist all you want but fact is ... its possible ;) Proof?
