SOURCE: Origins (Signups)

[The Unwanted]

Kay, so, a few of you may have obviously noticed that a group going by the name of SOURCE has been appearing in a few of my stories, and even my newest character was a bio weapon of theirs, I have been given permission to write an RP to explain SOURCE, this is the backstory of my greatest enemy created, now you get to mold it too.

Being just the signups, I won't have much of a backstory up to the point until the RP thread itself. But a breif synopsis follows.

Synopsis
SOURCE, a strange group interfering with the School of Battle, they seem to focus on time distortions of some kind, but their existence isn't labeled anywhere, even the sudden appearance of the group makes no sense, this is their story, how they came to be here in this world.

At the time, SOURCE is a well known military organization, and they stand to rule the entire world by force, though they are heavily opposed. At the time, they are at war with a group calling themselves Karnack, basically a rebellious force determined to stop SOURCE at any cost.

Another force exists, the NEW School of Battle, a small group of people that have relatives in the original S.o.B, they wish to simply stop the entire war.

In this time and place, humans aren't the only ones involved, Bio-Hazards, Robots, those advances in technology exist.

Characters
Okay so, make some completely original characters.

GW Name: [Obvious]
Name: [Character name, in case you didn't know]
Age: [How old are they]
Race: [What are they, Human, Robot, Bio-Engineered, something else? (Explanation of certain race allegiances further down)]
Sex: [Male/Female/NEITHER]
Allegiance: [Who are you allied with, SOURCE, Karnack, Neutral, NEW School of Battle?]
Weapon(s): [Your weapon of choice]
Abilities: [This includes magic and such (Only those in the NEW School of Battle and Bio-Engineered have magic)]
Appearance: [What do ya look like?]
Personality: [How do you act?]
Bio: [The characters back story]

I will post my own shortly.

Races
Human - Simple really, these people think for themselves, it's up to them who they join, though there isn't allways something spectacular with them, they are barely ever "special", though, when they are special, they can be quite deadly, no?

Bio-Engineered - Created by SOURCE mostly, these subjects almost always have magic within themselves, and mostly work with SOURCE, though some can be persuaded to join Karnack.

Robot - A machine, created to do whatever their master desires, though, not all of them actually do as their master wants. Robot's were originally created against SOURCE, and as such, tend to lean more toward Karnack and NEW School of Battle, though, a few have been seen within the corps of SOURCE.

Mech - A Human inside a Mechanical suit, these Humans remain as Mercenaries since they started, though some of them obviously lean one way or another. They will work for anyone that pays them, unless they are one of the very rare mercenaries with a heart.

Magical - Magical Races from the days of old, they always kept hidden, but when SOURCE began to take over, they fought back, however, now there are not many left, they have only ever been seen fighting for NEW School of Battle, and never work with the other groups. (Demons, Angels, Dragons, Elves, you know, the "usual")

NPC's

A few people have to be known.

"Projekt" - (Leader of SOURCE) - He has ruled SOURCE with a strange rule, he is hiding something about where he is from, but no one has ever truly talked to him in person.

Kage Haken - (Leader of Karnack) - He is a rebellious man, believing SOURCE to be completely evil, he was originally a Hunter for SOURCE, but after seeing the evil they caused, left to begin a Revolution.

John C. Haken - Kage's son, he is still young despite what he thinks, and believe his father is wrong about having to fight SOURCE to make them stop, he is conflicted as he is a Hunter in SOURCE's ranks.

Okay, guess that's all you need to know at this point, much more info to come obviously, any questions, ask, and i'll answer.

Oh, also, first person that wants it, the Leader of NEW School of Battle is open, if you want it, post your profile and ask for it, if I think you should have it, i'll let you know.

[Torturous Flame]

I'll have leader of the school, obviously'

GW Name: Torturous Flame
Name: Mistell (Mist) Marcel
Age: 19
Race: Bioengineered three quarters elf/a quarter black angel
Sex: female
Allegiance: New School of Battle
Weapon(s): Spero, her grandmother's sword, and magic of all kinds.
Abilities: She uses the basic elemental magics.
Appearance: She stands an even five feet, her hair is black and large brown eyes. Her small, angular face and high cheekbones are sprinkled with freckles. She seems to emit a certain warmth. Her clothes are tattered, obviously been sewn back together multiple times. She's very attractive, but doesn't seem to realize that.
Personality: She's a warm, loving individual. Tends to take on a maternal position among her peers. She's overly humble and slow to anger. Although if you hurt one of her 'children' of sorts. You better run, fast.
Bio: Long ago, there was a woman, young in years (for an angel) but old in experience. Her family was small, because she was attacked many times by the SOURCE, resulting in the disappearance and presumed death of Hikoru,the death of her partner Silvio, and her sisters. Her name was Nightingale. She had a daughter, named Dove after her fallen sister. THat girls child was named Mistell. Nightingale taught her granddaughter magic and swordplay. Nightingale was the one who formed the New school of battle, gathering children and teaching them all how to fight, in hopes that this madness would end and maybe everyone could go home. When Mist was seventeen, she was kidnapped by SOURCE. Before they could get to her, the SOURCE engineered her somehow, testing a new technology that allowed them to bioengineer later in life. THey tried to make her a super solider.

They succeeded, but they did not count on her being rescued. Nightingale and Dove both died in the process of getting her out. She took command of the New School of Battle from then on.

[Zazu]

Am I correct in assuming that the mech suits are human sized actual suits, or are they like Gundam sized?

[Chainlinc3]

GW Name: Chainlinc3
Name: Ryan Nerrik
Age: 23
Race: Mech
Sex: Male
Allegiance: NEW School of Battle (For the moment at least)
Mech Suit Code: Ov3rR1d3
Weapon(s):
Telsa Burst- This device is embedded in the palms of his Mech, and allows him to blast enemys with lightning Sith-Lord style. The downside? It's only good for a few seconds of continuous lightning before it must recharge.
Gauss Rifle- Essentially, this beast uses magnets to shoot metal spikes at ludicrous speeds. It's freakishly accurate, and fills in the role of a semi-auto sniper rifle. If Ryan is cornered, he can use it at close range, but he isn't *as* accurate.

Abilities: His suit is designed for stealth operations, and as such has a stealth-field generator that masks his presence on any sensor scans, as well as allowing him to become invisable. It also has an on-board AI that he can deploy into networks, in order to shut down security systems. His suit has been designed to boost speed, agility, and strength, at the cost of some defensive benefits. His gauss rifle's sights are linked to his suit's HUD, which allows him more accurate aiming.
Appearance: Unknown-- Nobody has ever actually seen him outside of his Mech-suit.
Mech-Suit Appearance: It's a relatively form-fitting suit that is colored completely black. A few glowing green sections are present, as well as the mandatory bits in peices that are necessary for all Gundam-style mech-suits.
Personality: He is generally kind, but weighs the value of human life rather lowly, which causes him to do things that some would consider "immoral," simply for the sake of acheiving some goal.
Bio: Not much is known about Ryan except that he is a SOURCE experiment that went horribly, horribly right. He managed to escape from the facility where he was held, and avoid recapture. Eventually, he found a mech-suit, and took it as his own. Over the years, he traded up for better and better suits until he found his current model. He is hell-bent on stopping SOURCE, but doesn't agree with Karnack's extemist mentality. He sees SOURCE as doing some things right, but that in the end they must be stopped, even if some of what they do is for "good." Because of this, he prefers to side with the NEW School of Battle.

[The Unwanted]

Both are great, both are in too!

And Zazu, yes, as I said to Matt, "Master Chief sized, but like Gundam in design"

[Surgical Steel]

GW Name: Surgical Steel
Name: Codenamed Metamagic Engine Construct Ver. 3.7, call him Zech. (Ze makes the "zeh" sound, the CH makes a sound as in "cheese")
Age: Appears 17 due to sped-up aging
Race: Bio-Engineered, with Magic-fueled Cyborg elements
Sex: Male
Allegiance: Currently trying for NEW SoB, but a chip in his head makes it difficult.
Weapon(s): Magic Engine: Inside his core, Zech has a magic engine that produces vast amounts of ambient magical energy. This can take the form of fire, ice, lightning, etc, or it can just hang in clouds to increase Magical damage or if configured correctly, can reduce damage.

Spatial Compression Disc: In his left hand, between the metal-covered fingerbones, a disc lays that is pretty much space compressed. Zech can expand this disc to make a hidey-hole for people and weapons (not himself, due to that pesky fact he'd be hiding WITHIN himself, and it would negate his existence.), he can also change it's shape to make a blade-like attachment he calls the Void Blade. Anything it cuts off is stored in it. In other words, if it cuts off your hand, you can't reattach it because it's GONE.

Abilities: Spatial Compression Disc and Magic Engine abilites labeled above. Can also store magic energy in the SCD to charge it with an element for a short while.
Appearance: Dressed in the remnants of a SOURCE limiter suit, Zech looks a little downtrodden. The suit is silver, with thick blue veins running across it. Somewhere on the suit, every vein is cut somewhere. The back has a spine-like attachment on it, with more blue veins that have been disconnected. Zech stands 5'7" with gray hair and gray eyes. He's muscular. His left hand splits open when he uses his SCD, and his chest lifts up from his torso to reveal the Magic Engine when it runs
Personality: Zech, when in his own control, acts very calm, very controlled and a willing follower. When the chip in his head is activated, he's a slave to the SOURCE member who holds the controller.
Bio: Zech is part human, part machine, lots of magic. He doesn't remember if he was dead before they made him, or if he was made into this as a child. His first memory was killing another Metamagic Engine, this one Version 3.6. He couldn't control himself, a chip in his brain controlled his actions. Years later, as he grew in power and had the Spatial Compression Disc added to his left hand, Zech found a way to stop the controlling long enough to escape. He created a vast cloud of electricity with the Engine, and the currents deflected the signals. He broke loose, and ran. He joined up with the NEW School of Battle, swearing to end the upcoming war.

[Grimm]

GW Name: Grimmjow

Name: Retru "Jackal" Vendata

Age: 19

Race: Mech

Sex: Male

Allegiance: SOURCE

Mech Suit Code: J4CK41

Weapons: Energized Electro-Weaponry (EEW)

Abilities: Extreme movement capabilities as well as being able to use electric energy inside his suit to create weapons out of tiny craters in each mech-hand.

Personality: A sharp tounge with a sharp mind, he's only nice once you get to know him.

Mech-Suit Appearance: A black suit that's loaded to the teeth with energy, it is somewhat large, and the helm looks not entirely unlike a samurai's helmet. Basically, it is like a fusion between a samurai and a mech, except that it has small jets of flame that come out of many holes in the suit, usually for adding a flame attribute to a punch or a kick, though it is also very intimidating.

Bio: He swears allegiance to SOURCE, but the main reason he does is to find out their secrets, add them to his personal arsenal, and then sell the info to NEW SoB. Also, he steals their proto-weaponry and uses it for his own, that's the main reason he can use the electro-weapons. He's a loose cannon, and there is a likely chance he will change from SOURCE to New SoB after he gets all the information he wants...

[Crazy Hobo]

GW Name: Crazy Hobo
Name: Kavar
Age: Unknown. First appeared about 20 years ago
Race: Bio-Engineered
Sex: Male
Allegiance: SOURCE
Weapons: Kavar only uses on weapon, a specially designed pistol. The pistol looks highly fantasy like, and has four barrels. The pistol, named Devastation, uses a special way of shooting. Devastation utilizes Kavar's power to create planes of force(no not like a jedi, like physics.). A small plane of force collapses in on itself creating explosive energy that propels a slug out at incredible speeds. Also since it doesn't use combustion Kavar can fire almost anything that will fit in one of the barrels.
Abilities: As metioned before Kavar was engineered to create and manipulate planes of force . This power can be used with a lot of versatility. Kavar can create shields, use it offensively as well as float on a plane. On top of that Kavar was created with one more augmentation in his left eye. His left eye is almost like a scope and tageting system. It can zoom in on targets, as well as act basically like a HUD. It also has an infrared setting. Along with the augmentation to his eye SOURCE decided to make a general augmentation in both his eyes to give him 20/1o vision.
Appearance: Kavar is an odd looking fellow, standing at an even six feet. His skin is incredibly pale as if he were dead. His hair is very disheveled and long, reaching down to about his shoulders. His hair is also pure white. His right eye is a normal looking green, but the augment to his left eye looks very odd. His left eye is solid black with twisting rings of red. The red rings tend to glow in combat. Another strange thing is that there are black tendrils extending from his left eye, and stretch across most of the left side of his face. As for his normal clothing Kavar tends to wear SOURCE Assassination suits. The suit is made of a strong alloy that is incredibly flexible as to not hinder movement. The plates of allow cover most vital areas and look very dark blue. On the left shoulder is a decorative design that looks a lot like the tendrils on Kavar's face, but is silver. For the most part the rest of the suit is form fitted fabric designed for freedom of movement.
Personality: Kavar practically doesn't have a personality. He seems like a robot instead of any kind of living thing. This is simply because emotion clouds judgment in battle situations. Though the experiment to remove all Kavar's emotions wasn't 100% effective. At times Kavar shows almost youthful innocence, and naive tendencies. Other than that Kavar is a dedicated, emotionless weapon.
Bio: Kavar was part of a SOURCE experiment on dead corpses. SOURCE was trying not only to reanimate dead tissue, but engineer super soldiers at the same time. Kavar's experiment was a great success. He became nothing more than a weapon, and only fleeting glimpses of his old self shined through. Kavar was almost instantly put into combat nearly 20 years ago. For the most part he was designed to be an assassin, but has frequently been used in large battles as a trump card. Kavar was one of the high points of SOURCE experiments, and was almost always successful in his missions. Currently Kavar is on a mission to infiltrate the New School of Battle. He has been given back his old personality, and has already gotten into the school with a story about finally breaking free of SOURCE. So far the assassination on the leader of the School is going according to plan.
----
I thought that would be fun.

EDIT: I changed the wording on a few things

[Zazu]

GW Name: Zazu
Name: Blake Stryker
Age: 24
Race: Cyborg
Sex: Male
Allegiance: NSoB
Weapon(s): His eyes.
Abilities: His eyes allow him to see incredibly far and he can even switch between the ways he visualizes the world (X-ray vision, infrared, etc). His eyes are also incredibly manipulative, even to the point of driving people to suicide. The eyes transmit images to those who look into his eyes, and depending on Blake's feelings, they will either see horrifying images or lovely images.
Appearance: Blake is like any other 24 year old man: short brown hair, a sharp looking face, and an athletic body type. He keeps a thin layer of stubble most of the time, and very rarely allows a full beard. The only aesthetic thing different about him are his eyes. The entirety of his eyes is pitch black and has very little depth and roundness.
Personality: Blake is very pacifistic, only really fighting when it is necessary for survival. He is logical and very rarely emotional.
Bio: Blake's origins and family were fairly decent and average. Regular school, regular friends, nothing out-of-the-ordinary. One late night when he was about 18, he was hit by a speeding drunk driver. Rushed to the hospital by ambulance, it was discovered that he only had about 3 bones unbroken in his body. With no other option, the doctors asked his parents' permission to use Blake as an experimental trial to replace various bones and organs with machinery, and seeing as his brain and heart were intact (barely), his parents gave the OK. Several strenuous days later, all of Blake's new pieces were fit into place. The unrepairable bones (both femurs, all of the bones in his arms, and multiple ribs, as well as his entire spinal column) were replaced by metallic parts. Unfortunately, the accident also left him blind, and as a result, his eyes were replaced by small cameras fitted with multiple types of visions.

Years after the near-full body replacement, he stumbled across a man who offered to "improve" Blake's body. The man strengthened his eyes, allowing for them to project images into those who looked into them. He soon found his eyes a curse as a man angered him and made the mistake of looking into his eyes. The man began a fit of binge drinking to nullify what he had seen. Unsuccessfully preventing the man from drinking so much, Blake watched as the man passed away from excessive alcohol consumption. Since that event, Blake attempted to avoid people in general, failing, and eventually making his home in the New School of Battle.

[The Unwanted]

All good, all in.

I'll put mine up tomorrow, and just a Minor Note for reference, SOURCE was created and has been operating for 26 Years.

[WillThereBeCake]

GW Name: WillThereBeCake

Name: Ramuel 'Sparks' Harrald

Age: 19

Race: Mech

Sex: Male

Allegiance: Neutral, however, Sparks enjoys in laying a very subtle subliminal meaning to the contractors he is talking with. If they pass, he agrees to be hired. If not, he siply leaves, often leaving the contractors mind as empty as a magnetized disc.

Mech Suit Code: 3V3RGR4ND3

Weapon(s): (Note: As he's a techaholic, these are the only constants.)

Automatic Diamagnetized Displacer (AKA Jackhammer) - This weapon works by harnessing the natural magnetism in the material it is using to fire, superheating it, and shunting it from the barrel at incredible speeds.
Quote: "You ever need any firepower, this'll do ya. It goes through any amount o' metal and rock like a hot knife through butter."
It's normal ammunition is rods of tungsten, which the gun is optimized for.
Quote: "These little babies here... They work much better than an error message to any o' these future scrapheaps out there."

Rechargable Combustion Packs (AKA Crackbang) - This weapons shoots small containers, containing a refined form of Ununhexium. When opened, the Ununhexium decays itself at a speed so fast it collapses a giant space around it, causing an irradiated, incredibly messy explosion.
Quote: "When this thing goes off, it gives a heat gentle enough to lull you to sleep. After burning off the multiple body parts that it mutated in a screaming fury."

Mag-Charged Energy Staff (AKA The Reaper) - This thick steel pole has inside of it a thin pole of Magnanium, which is a newfound material which exudes specific radiation, causing it to react to electricity and causes the radiation to create an aura of high energy, much like... Magic. Hence, Magnanium.
Quote: "This seemingly harmless pole here? It's the Reaper. Don't get the letters mixed around, though. It'll make ya sound perverted."


Abilities: 3V3RGR4ND3 is a mech, customized by Sparks himself. He added limiter removals to all of the joints, which, in dire situations, can be released (By pressing a big red button), increasing his mech's speed and power to the point of tearing itself apart. It also is created with metal plates, with a special element which allows it to take different forms when subjected to magnetic frequencies.

Appearance: As 3V3RGR4ND3 can change forms and colors, I will list Spark's appearance.
Spark has a pale complexion, and long, brown hair, which, to keep out of his eyes, is done up in a ponytail. He wears a thin set of glasses, and a white t-shirt, stained with grease and smelling like smoke, and simple, blue pants, and black heavy duty boots to finish.

Personality: Sparks is very nonchalant and eccentric, usually thinking a lot different to other people. One of the things he DOES share with the other mercs, however, is disregard to human life. He is also a nerd, opting to stay on the computer, play video games, etc, in his spare time that is not spent creating new things for his mech.

Bio: Sparks is simply another mercenary in the area. As he never knew his parents, and was raised in an orphanage, he really never developed any bonds with anyone, which directed him towards the lifestyle he has today. In reality, his life has no purpose. But he is happy simply surviving, playing games, eating, upgrading his mech, going out and killing people to get more money to play more games, eat, upgrade his mech, ad infinitum.

[Grimm]

Why do I sense that there'll be a pal-and-pal relationship with Sparks and Jackal?

[WillThereBeCake]

Hmm?

[Grimm]

I dunno. It just seems that since they're both mercs, and they have somewhat the same mindset, selling info and weapons so they can go about their daily lives.

[WillThereBeCake]

I see your point. However, It seems that your character has a plan set out, while Sparks does not.

[Grimm]

Aye. Who knows what time'll tell...

[FlySkyHigh]

GW Name: FlySkyHigh
Name: Hikoru
Age: 119
Race: Human
Sex: Male
Allegiance: Neutral
Weapon(s): Metal Staff
Abilities: Master Psychic
Appearance: Hikoru has aged far beyond the years of a normal human, and to many it is unclear as to how it is that he is still alive. He takes on the image if the wizened wise man. He is stooped over, usually using his staff as a walking stick. His hair has turned a pure platinum white, and he indeed reveals his age in his face, covered with deep scars and wrinkles. He gives off a frail appearance, but any who can sense his power know that he is far from weak.
Personality: Hikoru has come far from the days of his youth. He has grown past his pervertedness with the help of his faithful wife, Gale. He is a kindly old man, caring for his friends and allies.
Bio: Hikoru had been married to Gale for only a few years, when the incident happened. In an attempt to further expand his powers, he broke the barrier between dimensions, and was flung far from his home. He did everything in his power to return to his wife, and never gave up. However, time passed. He aged. He grew stronger. He still did not give up. He fought countless enemies. Fought many wars. Saved many people. But now, now he has finally returned to his home. But what awaits him there will shock him beyond belief.
