Sign Up Metropolis: 2038 [M- L, V, and Gore]

[CENTER][I]But Colonel, their lines stand still, even though we've used [/I]it[I].[/I][/CENTER]


July 22, 2038, Metropolis Sigma. The memories from that time still remain fresh in my mind. The world was divided among itself. Nations no longer existed. No governments existed to hold order. The world was split into metropoli. These super-cities held millions, sometimes billions, of citizens. 54% of the Earth's surface land was not fit for life. The cities were categorized by Greek letters, depending on size. The smallest was Metropolis Alpha. The largest was Metropolis Omega. This system of world division seemed efficient, however, the metropoli could only hold so many citizens.

The world population had risen over the years. It went from around 7 billion in 2006 to about 40 billion in 2038. Because order was mostly abandoned, all but the military, rape and assault were common. A census showed that 40% of the world's 40 billion people in 2038 were the result of rape and unintentional sex. Because of this, the metropoli had to expand as much as they could. Matropolis Omega stretched from Beijing to Shanghai.Even though the metropoli found ways around food and water shortages, wars were still common over supplies and land.

I was a soldier in the war between Metropolis Sigma and Metropolis Chi, over a power dispute. The final straw was when Premier (which is basically a dictator of a metropolis) Zoeggliser ordered the military of Metropolis Chi to attack the Plaerium (a newly discovered radioactive element valued for its production of energy) plant beside the Danube (the Danube served as the dividing line between Metropoli Chi & Sigma) because he didn't want Metropolis Sigma to have more power-generating plants than Metropolis Chi.

This lead to the Riot, a large violent protest in which the Metropolis Sigma military and citizens crossed the Danube and attacked a mine outside Metropolis Chi. When the military of Metropolis Chi countered, this battle was called the Battle of the Northern European Plain. Our forces were lead by Colonel Johann Sliersson and Brigadier General Robert Szcalkatszcy. I was a member of Special Ops Unit 4, a special unit that's job was to develop weaponry to use against the enemy.

All of the weapons we developed we used, except one. One we kept put away until the Colonel ordered us to use it when the Metropolis Chi forces started attacking our citizens. It was a guarded secret, and still is. At first, we didn't use it. But after a while, the Colonel was tired of enemy soldiers coming into the city and raping women and young girls and killing innocent bystanders.

But, when we did use it, it didn't work. It backfired. And so, it was locked away. The war still rages on today. I've killed many, and climbed the ranks, yet the pressure of war still seems unbearable. They say to me "Good job Lieutenant Colonel Lerring" Yet, the job I do is anything but "good..."

(sounds really fun)

Name: Ayden
Age: 16
Occupation: Military(sort of*)
Side (Metropolis): Sigma
If military, what division: covert ops
If military, what rank: No rank, No title**
Skills: Hacking, Hardware Manipulation, Sniping

*(sort of) Meaning not known to the public
**no rank, no title -- Adds to the "(sort of)" military.

If you did a people search, you wouldn't find me. I'm not even born, according to Sigma or any other authority. I don't "live' anywhere, I don't "know" anyone. A few people have seen me, but not for long. They were either convinced they were dreaming or dead. Better off for them not to know. Nobody should be involved in this. My goal is to end this fruitless conflict before anyone else gets hurt.

Name: Joseph Alter
Age: 19
Occupation: Rebel
Side: (Metropolis) Chi
Skills: Expert at persuasion and bluffing, minimal hacking knoledge, good with explosives, exceptional disguise capabilities

As far as the underground movements are concerned he isn't any sort of a noticable agent and that's exactly the way he likes it. If anyone knew what he sometimes spends his late nights planning out he would be one of the top heads on the wanted list. He wouldn't be so good if he wasn't able to slip in and out of almost anywhere without being noticed. He prides himself on not sticking out and if you're not careful he has been known to dissappear before your eyes, but that's just the rumor.

Tyler Koregaten or whatever, tell me wat the **** the mark is already jackass

[Tyler Koregaten]

You quit bothering me about that! I've already told you that was something I'm not allowed to tell you! If you've got an administrative code given to you by the IMT, PM it to me and I'll have it verified. If not, you're treading military ground, so be careful and watch your step, pal.

Name: James Sonotai
Age: 16
Occupation: Military
Side (Metropolis): Sigma
If military, what division: Special Ops 4
If military, what rank (title, too, if there is one): Sergeant, Second-in-Command
Skills: Hand-to-hand combat, knives and blades, can fire anything thats able to fire

James has grown up on the streets of Sigma, getting a good sense of what should be done to survive, he learned to make a blade out of anything, and how to go anywhere undetected.He grew up alongside Jaafrig, developing a close friendship with him. When he turned 15 he was recruited into the military and was placed in Special Ops 4 because of his ability to not be seen, it was also his luck that he was placed in the same unit as Jaafrig and ever since their first day of training they have vowed to always be there for each other. He was really born again in his time in the military and has become one of the units most dedicated leaders in no time.

Good character profile! If you could edit a few things though: Could you make James's title "Second in Command" and possibly as far as that relationship between our characters, that can be that our characters grew up together in the slums of Metorpolis Sigma (having our characters only being a year apart) and that our characters both swore to keep the friendship between them strong, and I'm often picking your character to head missions and such.

Great characters so far! Everybody so far is accepted (with the exception of that spammer's post)

Keep posting! We need 2 more characters for Sigma, and 4 more for Chi. bogger3k, please get your character's skills posted soon.


So as far as that goes: Keep posting!!!

[DragonBlood]

Name: Xavier Valentine
Age: 21
Occupation: Military
Side: Chi
If Military, what division: Aerial/Infantry
If Military, what rank: Lt. Commander, Full title "Imperator cado ex Caelum" or simply "Imperator Caelum" ("Commander of death from the heavens")
Skills: Aerial Drops into combat zones. Close combat, Fast assault, Recon.

Writing sample:

Xavier Valentine watched as the ground rushed at him, small explosions of gun fire pin pricked the fields below. He turned his head to one side, counting down slowly. He turned his head again, the ground much closer. He moved quickly, grasping the handle of his rifle with his right hand and pulling it around from his back, he yanked on the loading mechanism, tossing his body into a slight roll. The sky rotated into his view, along with the falling forms of his men, then the ground again.

He pushed the butt of the rifle against his shoulder and began to fire, computer enhanced vision aloud for precise targeting, years of training aloud for pin point accuracy. Others in his unit began to do the same, raining death on their enemy below.

A beep informed him that it was time to stop his free fall, Xavier pulled a lever and the drop jets on his pack came alive, he felt the heat rush across the back of his legs. Pulling up into a lose ball he righted himself and continued his bloody descent.
The enemy below never even realized what was happening until some poor fool looked up. The man began to call to his doomed comrades, but it was far too late for all of them.

Xavier reached back and pulled one last lever, opening his packs burners all the way up, slowing his descent down drastically. He felt no remorse for the man he torched on the final descent. When he hit the ground he rolled up to his knee, swinging left and right quickly, picking off a few more enemy soldiers. The rest of his men landed momentarily.

"Imperator Caelum, we have made land fall, casualties, none." An XO reported, "Very good, continue with operation as planned." Xavier smiled; the battle would soon be won.

[Grunt Salesman]

Name: Sage "Schicksal" Gunther
Age: 17
Occupation: Military
Side (Metropolis): Chi
If military, what division: Special Ops
If military, what rank (title, too, if there is one): Night Ops - Squad Delta Commander
Skills: Moderate, practical hacking; stealth; small arms and submachine guns; agility; command; explosives.

Sample:
Sage vaulted from the rim of the crawlspace access, landing silently in the hallway. He dropped into a low crouch as his eyes quickly swept the dark, desolate corridor for any signs of life. The coast was clear. Sage tapped his microphone twice - the signal for the rest of Delta to follow.

Five phantom shapes appeared in a silent pentagon behind Sage. Fanning out against the walls, they covered every possible angle with their silenced pistols. A hand raised; a finger twitched: "[I]Forward.[/I]" The invisible force proceeded to pad down a hallway destitute of light. Sage recalled the map of the complex; there was a door up on the right; their quarry within. He began to slice the locking mechanism --

"Schick; we're compromised," came into Sage's earpiece. He widthdrew from the keypad and sent a hand signal down the hallway. A window was opened, and six shadows lept through it. The window closed, and as far as the building was concerned, nothing had ever happened.

Very nice. Grunt Salesman, your profile is exceptional. I'm getting a mental picture of your character from your indepth description and the wonderful sample.

As far as I can say buddy, Grunt Salesman: You are [B]Accepted[/B]

We still need 1 more for Sigma and 2 for Chi, so 3 more and we'll let the "games" begin!
