Um, Purple? When I look at your profile, I get confused. You didn't follow the template correctly. If Question didn't say anything, he probably might, so you should probably fix.

She followed the other profile, check the SB intro post - the bad guys behind the scenes, working in CEL, are available. On the same note, my Major General coming up in minutes.

. . . Poof.

Name: Dr Nicholas Dee (do dare to call him Nick)
Age: 27
Gender: male
Rank: Major General

Appearance: Slender, classy and symmetrical. He wears shirts and suits, always black
and tidy, and likes silver yewelry. His hair is also black, always carefully tamed and tied with white string in a ponnytail at the back of his head. His facial features are sharp, with straight nose and often a thin smirk, and his piercing eyes are light and blue.

Personality: Dr Dee is the kind of person who's superiority no one can doubt. When he
decided to talk, people shut up. When he appears, unless he wants to go unnoticed, people notice him. Everything around him must be neat, clean and symmetrical as it can be (he's a bit obsessed with it), and he tends to have things done by just giving the right kind of look to the right men.

However, despite of his cold appearance, he knows how to act like a normal human. With
people he happens to like, he's sarcastic and casual, though always mannered, and if you
manage to make him grin sincerely you can consider yourself his friend. If you see him cry, you can consider yourself his most trusted, soon-to-be-dead friend.
He's very observant and intelligent, and incredibly sadistic when something ticks him off. He's also very gentle with his wife and kids, though.

History: Nicholas grew up as the only child to a rich family in London, and learned to act cold, distant, neat and like he's better than anyone. He also learned how to play chess, read books, fire a gun and win a fencing match. He was sent to boarding school at the age of eleven, and stayed there till he was eighteen. No one ever said a thing against him, being first in his class and always popular with both yang men and women, but there were incidents nevertheless, and some doubted his ways of persuading people to give him what he wants.

He met his future wife at the age of nineteen. She was a senator's daughter, and he got killed before her eyes. She said she'll train and become a murderer herself, and won't stop until she kills the hitman that killed her father. Nicholas told her he will do it for her. A year later, they were married with a baby on its way. Nicholas indeed did his part. Before their first kid was three, he mastered long and short range weapons, and perfected his methods. He took jobs and stayed incognito, always careful with money and never telling a word to the child. Soon enough, he was a father of three (two younger being twins). His wife knew of what he really did (besides being an art teacher), but never all the details. He killed the guy who killed her father in a rather imaginative way, staging it to frame his next victim (who then got killed in prison, oh, my).

Nicholas's first child, a girl, was kidnapped to blackmail him and his wife, and killed even
though they payed the sum. His wife got a nervous breakdown and tried killing herself - he made an artwork of the kidnappers's bodies, along with those of their families. Now, while he's working for the CEL, an educated caretaker stays in his house, guarding his wife, and private tutors teach his children.

How you came upon CEL: His current superior was Nicholas's target in one of his jobs.
The person who ordered it was rather desperate, and asked for it to be slow and painful.
Nicholas got him tied and nearly tortured to death, when he was offered a better job. His
loyalty lying with his family and him being a wandering hitman with no real wishes to live in the world as is, Nicholas made himself a deal and moved to work with CEL.

Trusty Sidearm: He has a tiger. Because he's awesome and rich like that, and it's not
eye-catching at all. It rarel leaves his office, car or house, though.

Other: Well, he loves his wife, but she doesn't quite know him most of the time, and he's kind of touchy when someone mentions family issues.

Because ones, in the teams, are the bad guys recruited by the CEL to do stuff. The others, with the trusty sidearms and stuff, are the staff of CEL, behind the whole world destruction thing ^^

You mixed up the teams. You should be nice enough to enlighten us as to what they are ;)
Save time... see it my way.

You're new? Great seas! Why haven't you gone to the Buddy System yet?



You're dealing with writers. The words "normal" and "usual occurrence" do not compute.

Actually more of a horse kind of guy meself

Name: Johnny B. Goode

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Team: Omega

Appearance: Johnny is an Irish American whose family had been here since the early 1800s. He is strong and has tough skin, but is somewhat slight of frame and sharp in feature, sporting neither a pot belly nor muscles. He has a flat face, and a manly demeanor. He walks with a limp that may be fake and may be not.

He has brownish, dirty hair, and is pretty hairy, face scruffy and lower body not shaven... pretty much ever. He barely ever bathes and wears dirty clothes. His only clothes are some worn work pants, a button down work shirt, and a ratty jacket. He also wears a dark green cap. He smokes a lot and his teeth are crooked.

Personality: Johnny is a charismatic, charming fellow. He usually doesn't come off as gruff as his appearance, gait, and growling voice suggest. He can easily lure you into a conversation and win your trust. But he's a sly one.

He'll try to swindle something off of you if he gets the chance, and if you call him out bad, he won't hesitate to put a bullet in you. He's a nice guy to those he appears to trust or to those who he likes. And amiable fellow, but very dishonest. And murderous. And greedy. He really likes money, which he promptly wastes or puts away. The way he lives, he doesn't need the cash. He just likes the thrill of getting it.

Why s/he was put in prison: He was charged with 8 murders, and he confessed another. If you asked him in prison, he would lay claim to 14. He was also charged with multiple counts of resisting arrest, arson, grand theft auto, and robbery, as well as assault claims that were needlessly brought against him. In other words, he is basically and angel. He was serving a double life sentence.

History: Johnny was born to the birth name of Patrick Donahue in a backwoods town in southern Louisiana, close to New Orleans. His parents weren't particularly nice or caring to him or any of his brothers or sisters, so at a very young age, he set out into the wilderness with only a gunny sack and a home-made guitar. After a little living off the land, he got tired and set out on the tracks.

He spent his youth, teen years, and early adulthood moving around and around illegally on trains and by other means, always going here to there on foot and never settling nor buying any property. He occasionally got manual labor jobs as a teen, but never stayed for long. He became very popular among the other vagrants and car riders because of his ability to play great guitar and sing well, along with his self-reliance, calling him Johnny B. Goode, after one of his favorite songs.

Eventually, he began a life of crime. One day, a man, much older than him, called him out at a campfire for cheating in a game of cards. The man challenged him to a knife fight, and Johnny drew blood that day, winning the man's most prized, and one of very few belongings, a beautiful guitar.

He started simply by robbing passerby, farms, and train cars, but eventually moved on to bigger and better targets, namely banks. He became very well known in the deep South because of his immense skill as a bank robber and at eluding the police. He even put together his own crew, who changed sporadically. He robbed at least 20 banks between age 21 and 28, and was never caught. He also never flinched at murder, despite his charm.

When he was finally caught, betrayed by one of his crew, he was very well known, this "Johnny B. Goode," and was found carrying only the clothes on his back, a small rucksack of food and odds and ends, and his two guitar cases, one of them the prize of his first kill.

Favorite weapon: One of his guitar cases contains a guitar. The other is substantially heavier and contains two pistols and a small machine gun. Think "Desperado" but with an Irish Hobo.

Humanity: Hmmm..... I guess he can be made to be a good guy if you convince him the cause is just. He may not have much integrity, but he's got some morals. He's never killed a kid. And he avoids killing women.

Other: N/A

So, here's a quick template for the NPCs on the teams.

Alpha Team; Katherine Abbasid; Female; 31; 5'9 brown hair blue eyes nice personality, many mental disorders that make her very dangerous sometimes; Likes a nice assault weapon

Beta Team; Antonio Machiavelli; Male; 5'3 brown hair almond eyes, extremely fit, a lot of tattoos, likes Alexandra; shy; got caught killing a man after the man killed his fiance; very smart, can make a weapon out of anything

Theta Team; Deandra Edge; Female; 37; 5'6 black hair, skin, eyes, a lot of piercings, all golden; "Flaunt what you got"; ran the biggest drug cartel in New York City until caught; She likes stabbing people in the back, so anything that can do that


Upsillon Team; Robert Tuskahomma (Kudos if you know what his last name means); Male; 27; 6'1 brown hair, tan skin, brown eyes, long hair, up in ponytail; keeps to himself; killed a man for burning his mary jane field; Tomahawks, because he can.


So, this will start soon, but I am just trying to make characters for at least these NPCs listed above so I can use them in my introduction post.

Your Team members will all be mentioned in the first post, and I want half of your first post to be a flashback, written in italics, telling whenever I or another high ranking officer came.

I love ponies, but that doesn't make me a bronie.

Really?


Name: Marcus Smith.

Gender: Male.

Age: 30.

Team: Upsillon. (I'm not sure if I should blank this or what?)

Appearance: 6'3, tapered build but very well muscled, short black hair (Not a buzz), black eyes (Hard), and a face that kinda makes you think 'chiseled'. He always wears black.

Personality: He's angry, always angry. The reasons he hates humanity and wants to exterminate them have been mentioned. He used to be a nice person, friendly, kind, and practical! But now he's blunt, he doesn't talk if he can help it, and when he does he sounds like he's spitting the words at you.

Why s/he was put in prison: (Please be in depth) Three a-clock one day, Marcus returns to the gang's base in an old warehouse in San Francisco, having just finished a job. He comes inside and when he reports to the gang lord he'd told that a politician, Emmett Johnson, has started a campaign which will end up in the discovery and eradication of the gang.
Marcus is ordered to hunt down and kill Johnson as quickly as possible.
He plans carefully, as always, but when Johnson is walking down the street, with Marcus's sniper rifle trained on him from a thousand yards away, a team of cops searching the building he's in coincidentally find him. He fights, of course, and is in the end taken forcefully.
He is charged with killing two police officers, numerous enemies of the gang, and attempting to kill Chief Jacob Hawson (The man who killed his family).
He is given a life sentence and put away. And so he stays for 6 years, until now!

History: (Excluding prison) He was born and raised in North Carolina, up in the mountains. He lived outdoors for most of his childhood and teenage years. He joined the army when he was 19, and left the country just after a bad argument with his family (His father, mother, two sisters, and younger brother). They were not on good terms. It was found out in his absence that his father was trafficking it illegal firearms. When the government came to arrest him he fought back and as a result all of his family was killed (And him).
So when Marcus comes home after 3 years of not being in contact with his family, he doesn't know they are dead. When he finds out that they are, he finds that it was one particularly brutal police chief that got them killed. He attempts to kill the police chief, but fails and barely escapes. He goes to San Francisco were he joins a gang with whom he works as an assassin. Using his favored weapon, the bow, to hunt down and kill people.
But one day a job to kill a local politician who is working against the gang, goes wrong, Marcus is caught. A trial is held and he is sent to prison.

Favorite weapon: A bow like Hawk has in The Avengers.

Humanity?: (Why could s/he be dissuaded to take over the world?) Because his hatred for humanity over what they've done to him hasn't wavered a bit during his jail time.

Other: I'll try to post him regularly, but don't count on me! (I'll do my very best!).
For I who am poor have only my dreams
I spread my dreams under your feet . . .
