The "Get Violent" Video Game RPG OOC/Sign-up Thread

I'll approve once I see a sample.
Also, what number character is this for both of you??
 
Hey BL, you aren't going to have Link just be some Pokemon Trainer now, are you? If you want Pikachu to be in there, I suggest that we have him be an independant character. Also, I don't think Link talks in old-tymey English. Make sure to keep close to the original character, dude. The last thing we need is some Pokemon trainer named Link who speaks like he's from the Bible.
He's not going to be a Pokemon Trainer. Pikachu is going to be an independnt soon enough. I'll watch the language though.:up:

Yeah, I was going to recommend the same thing. Link sounds like he's in the middle of a Shakespearean soliloquy.
 
Must resist urge to join....pulling like a tractor beam.....but can't find right character....
 
What the hell?

Application for the "Get Violent" Video Game RPG

Name of character and game that he/she/it appears in: Samuel Leo Fisher/The Splinter Cell Games

Powers/skills/inventory of the character:

Powers: None

Skills: Sam is so skilled, I can't even type how skilled he is. Here's a link to all his skills http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Fisher#Skills

Inventory: Once again, too much to type

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Fisher#Weapons
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Fisher#Other_weaponry_and_equipment

And his ever trusty goggles.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Fisher#Goggles


Will your character be bringing any other characters, items from their game with them?: Sam's going solo during this time. Plus, a bunch of his equipment can be found in this world.


Why have you chosen this character?:

I love the Splinter Cell games. Plus, with Lara Croft, Gordon Freeman and Solid Snake, we need some more human badasses in this game.

Can you provide any need-to-know information about your character for players with no knowledge of that character?

Everything you need to know about him can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Fisher

Please provide your sample "blackout" post if your character comes from a different time to the present setting:

North Korean Capital Building
Pyongyang, North Korea
3:12 A.M. Local Time

I crouch and look out into the darkness. Two guards, both with AK-47's strapped to their sides stand on both sides of the doorway. Once you get past them, it's a room full of motion detectors and lasers. Then it's home free to the North Korean databanks that hold all the nation's information.

It's impossible odds. I've faced worse.

Two quick shots from my silenced pistol find themselves buried in the guard's heads. I hurry up and move them out of light before progressing to my next target.

The room filled with lasers, I take a running start and do my best Baryshnikov impression, leaping through the air and avoiding the laser sensors. I open the door to the databank room when alarms start to go off.

"S***...."

I turn to run when my vision starts to darken, even with the night vision goggles on I can't see.

************​

The bright green of the night vision goggles blinds me as I slip them off and look around. I'm on a beach somewhere...​

"Mister...what the hell are you?"​

I pull myself up and look at the little boy looking at me.​

"Where am I?"

"You're on Coney Island."​

"New York?....What the hell?"

Name of character and game that he/she/it appears in:
Lara Croft (The Tomb Raider series)

Powers/skills/inventory of the character:
Lara is trained in multiple forms of martial arts, can ride a motorcycle, and handle herself with firearms.

She has on her possession:
  • Two Signature Pistols, holstered on her thighs
  • Several Grenades
  • Grappling Hook, attached to her belt
  • Binoculars, attached to her belt
  • Light Source, worn like an earpiece
  • Backpack to carry loose items, such as Grenades

Will your character be bringing any other characters, items from their game with them?:
She will be bringing all the aforementioned items.

Why have you chosen this character?:
Y'know, I ask myself that, actually. I just have a very strong urge to give her a shot. And with all the non-powered assassin/Black Ops type characters running around, I think a Black Ops Smash Brothers team could be in order down the road.

Can you provide any need-to-know information about your character for players with no knowledge of that character?
Well, she comes from nobility. She's British. She can kick some serious ass.

Oh, and the name of the fine lady that I will be using pictures of is KARIMA ADEBIBE.

Please provide your sample "blackout" post if your character comes from a different time to the present setting:

As I'm packing my things, Bryce comes into the room. He is clearly puzzled by my impromptu trip. He stares blankly at my backpack as I place items in it. Finally, he speaks up.

"Going somewhere?"

"The States, actually,"
I respond without taking my eyes off what I'm doing.

He continues to look puzzled, even more so now. "The States?" he repeats.

"New York City," I elaborate. "I hear it's quite lovely this time of year."

"I can't imagine that anything would be lovely about the States, to be honest," Bryce jokes.

"Be nice!" I reprimand him. I look at the items scattered across the bed as I decide what exactly to take. I grab a few handfuls of grenades, to be safe. I'm taking my pistols with me as well. You never know what could happen. And the advantage of being wealthy is that you can fly private jets...thus allowing you to pack such things in your carry-on. "I'm meeting some American archeologist that wanted to speak with me about an artifact. He sounded quite nice on the phone."

Bryce doesn't reply. Instead, he just stands with his arms folded.

"Oh, lighten up. I'll be back before you know it," I assure him. "You know me. I have a talent for taking care of myself."

[YODA] Edited in, the sample has been. [/YODA]

Oh, and if anyone is British here, I ask a small favor. Tell me if Lara's speech and word choice starts getting too stereotypical or Americanized. I want her to sound like she's British...not like she's an American trying to be British.
 
The only thing I'd change is take the "City" out of "New York City." We know what people mean when you say "New York."
 
Alright Eddie and Byrd you're both approved. But why wasn't Leon listed in the badass section of your app Byrd??
 
Just noticed that Fox and Lara have the same font, so I bolded Lara's.

No big deal. Just wanted to keep everyone up-to-date. :yay:
 
I'd like a reserve on Star Wolf please. :ninja:
 
But why wasn't Leon listed in the badass section of your app Byrd??

Eh, never really liked Resident Evil. Plus, he's been in only one game while Snake and Lara have whole franchises built around them.
