The Console Wars V: Sign ups

[Merc]

Alright, a bit of a slow start so far

BUT WE WILL PREVAIL

OPEN THE FLOODGATES, INVITE EVERYONE YOU CAN FIND

[DizzyZebra]

Okay, I think I'll manage to think up some shenanigans. I think it would be better if I start off helping someone out with whatever mission they they hop on to first though, since thats where most of my experience comes froms. I don't have a very egotistical character. Besides, it will be more interesting that way, and I don't know where to start. Recruit pl0x?

BASIC INFO
Name: Zeta
Age: During the TCW3 she was a victim of experimentation by Microsoft. For the typical super soldier reasons, that most armies see as a logical progression. She didn't realise it until 5 years later, but it has dramatically reduced her rate of ageing. She has physically gained 2 years since then, making her 18. It is unknown if the side effects wear off.
Faction: Nintendo
Faction Role: Elite (still using that as a rank?) specialised in unusual missions, often stealth and infiltration. Often using gadgets or new technology, but experienced in other basic firearms.

DETAILED INFO
Appearance: Plain elite suit (don't really mind what that is, just a futuristic jumpsuit for military work, jeans and hoodie for anything casual). Hardwaring clothes, but not much armour due to the athleticism needed in her role. Dark hair mostly tied up, light weight of average height.
Personality: Observant, absolutely silent when focused, snarky as a defence mechanism and knee-jerk reaction in difficult situations. Gets extremely depressed if ever backstabbed, but risks a lot for friends herslef. Slightly too emphatic for a soldier, but luckily hardly has time to mope about it. Is quite patriotic, but would prefer the war to end from some bitter experiences.

Skills/Weapons: As mentioned earlier due to her physique she isn't too strong, but very competent at forms of military technology, and has a good aim. Makes up for lack of strength in agility, but has to use powerful weapons rather than brute force. Often uses improvised weapons i.e whatever is laying about.

Bio/Backstory: She is unaware of her families status, either deported or deceased. This is not uncommon for her area of origin, a small, temperate island in the upper hemisphere (sound vaguely familiar?) which was debated territory for a while between Sony and Nintendo. She was recruited to the army across the globe to Nintendo's head quarters, then sent to one of their main bases on another large continent, near the Sony/Nintendo border. She got a promotion for her work retrieving the Macguffin in The Console Wars 3 (it was three wasn't it that we finished? Wow, my memory is bad.) And suffered from said experimentation while captured.

- Let me know if anything clashes or if their are any continuity errors.

Woot, another agent for Nintendo, and it's a veteran too!

Welcome back Dizzy, there's just one problem. It's been twenty-seven years since TCW4 xD Incase you want Zeta to still be young though, perhaps you could tie it in with gdn barely aging after over 25 years, idk.

@Merc: Invited a bunch of people, and am advertising in sig, and now in motto too.

[DizzyZebra]

Actually, that gives me a use for the experimental side effects. They were a bit of a plot hole before. 'She got better' really doesn't cut it. *edit time*

[butter-kicker]

((So this is what happens whilst I go on holiday for a couple if days))

TCW History: Blackout character Alex was a former MC agent who fought alongside Rico and many others for several pages of post in TCWB before he was left stranded by other MC agent gone rouge only known as Jordan
Writing experience: TCWB
Reason for joining: I've got some loose ends to tie up since TCWB seemed to end so quickly

Character Application

BASIC INFO
Name: Craigson Clarke
Age: 34
Faction: Sony
Faction Role: Peacekeeper

DETAILED INFO
Appearance: Around 5"10, Dark brown hair and eyes, Light full beard
Personality: Cheerful and tries to be a charming guy even though he is says really cheesy lines sometimes but when it comes to the safety of others Clarke doesn't like to play around and will kill anyone who threatens someone close to his heart.
Skills/Weapons: Glock 17 as primary weapon and is advanced in hand to hand combat
Bio/Backstory: He won't tell anyone but it is suspected that he is looking for a friend and he is just upholding this job to get around more...

DIZZY AND GENTLEMEN:

Gunna need a status report on people that we're expecting to join, cuz at the rate we're going right now, we're going to need upwards of 2 weeks for sign ups.

At least the people that we do have right now are unlikely to ditch after a week, riiiight?

[Outlaw-Jack•]

I won't ditch. And if I did, I wouldn't have a good reason (summer vacation, free time, yadda-yadda).

[Merc]

Well that's good then, but the thing is I'm not really sure we can run a console war when we've only got 3 or so people on each faction, but if we have to, THEN WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE FULL EPIC ON FOR EVERYBODY

[Dragonvarsity]

Well I've been talking to a bunch of people on joining, explaining what The Console Wars are, things like that. It's possible that a friend of mine might want to join, but I'm catching him up on Blackout right now. Still, that could take a while, and since he might not need to FULLY know before 5 starts, I'll make sure to ask him when I can. Also, abyssalassassin and TheBlackKnight22 are basically guarenteed to join imo, since I know for a fact abyssal's coming back and I know Black's been really eager for TCW5 while we were still wrapping up Blackout. I sent the both of them links to here, now we just have to wait for them to get online

....Oh, and yeah, I'm gonna be here 'till the very end.

[butter-kicker]

I know I was a bit fade-in,fade-out towards the end of Blackout but you can be certain that I am staying for this one

Also anyone who fails and leaves without reason gets a bath full of custard

[gdn001]

It would require a miracle for Zim to get back to CW... Or LBPC as a whole. So I can only grant myself.

[Merc]

Don't worry, as we speak our constant pointless posts are bringing attention towards us...

Also finished my first post and then my computer restarted, so things don't seem to be going well so far.

[SnipySev]

If I were to sign up, how much of the backstory would I need to learn? It's not very newb friendly having to read hundreds of pages and keeping track of dozens of characters in order to understand the big picture.

[Merc]

None really, you pick most of it up as you go along. I'm pretty sure that most, if not all new people in Blackout didn't even read any of it and got along fine.

Also, is that the impression we're giving to people? That they must read the whole thing to join? THIS MUST BE FIXED.

Hell, I stopped reading Blackout halfway through for two months, then when I came back I understood it all after a week.
