character app Name: Frankie Fry Age: 25+ Nationality: Born Canadian but UK citizen now Personality: Frankie is your typical risk taking action junkie, who loves to be doing something crazy as fast as humanly possible when he is off the clock. When not working or tweaking some project vehicle or another, he spends a great deal of time doing something outdoorsy such as sky diving, para gliding, scuba diving or the like and less likely to be inside watching a show. He works well with others, and typically one of the first to volunteer to go take care of something, which others often attributed to his need to be doing something. He has some trouble forming long term relationships largely because he was used to moving around regularly in his youth, but the type that has a lot of friends that he easily integrates with when he is with them. Family: No biological family that he knows of, as he grew up in foster care he does have a few "brothers" or "sisters" that he maintains contact with over the years but never really felt any real parental connections at any of the homes he grew up in. History: He was born in Toronto, Canada but was surrendered shortly after birth and then spent his youth bouncing around the foster care system, rarely lasting more than two or three years in the families he wound up being placed with. When he turned nineteen he was done with that chapter of his life and was ready to see the world and do the things that he wanted to do, and with his limited options in the way of money or family support chose to apply to and join the United Kingdom military forces. He spent the majority of that time with the Army Air Corps, flying Apache and Wildcats, but also took every opportunity to learn the mechanics of and getting certified on numerous military vehicles during the same period. It wasn't long after his sixth year of service with the army that he was scouted by MI6 as a potential agent, liking what they saw he was formally invited to attend a boot camp style session of training with a small pool of some other candidates. In the end he was offered a spot in their formal training program, where he exceled in a variety of fields meeting many of the requirements to become a rookie field agent. Profession: Military Speciality: Field mechanical engineering, military science, with skills for boating, driving, piloting etcTransportation / Gear Head, sure he has some of the basic hand to hand, fire combat, and such but his real talents lie pretty much on being able to drive or pilot just about any vehicle you can think of.

For any clarification: The current setting is modern era, so within the last 5 years or so, which means we have access to some really next level gear (some existing, some I'll create, etc).

Sullivan Conray Name: Sullivan Conray Age: 29 Nationality: English Personality: Sullivan is a bookish man with some martial aspirations, who excitedly recounts minor historical facts or religious oddities when he deems the situation appropriate. He’s polite and softspoken, but not above using violence when nescessary. For him this position is a chance to see the gears of history from a more active perspective. Not that he doesn’t fancy himself an upholder of the old British noble traditions, but Sullivan does have a few… eccentric… opinions on the monarchy. It’s a confusing mix of respect and distaste, fueled by too many years of theological and historical nitpicking. Family: A father and mother, two older sisters and an older brother, an assortment of extended family of varying importance and closeness. History: Born the second son and youngest child of an impoverished Earl of with a minor estate in northern England, Sullivan was given a good bit of leeway with his life. While his older siblings had to focus more on certain things, Sullivan was able to dedicate himself more to his passions, such as history, religion, and traditional European martial arts. While his siblings went into politics, joined the military, or made some other high status life choice to improve the family’s connections and fortunes, Sullivan quietly spent his time acquiring his degree working in his field. He mostly focused on interpretations of old texts and connecting the dots in a few minor studies to come to some fresh conclusions on historical events or perceptions. When he wasn’t working in his field, Sullivan took classes and seriously dedicated himself to his hobby of traditional European martial arts, and was actually quite notable in that niche group with a collection of eccentric and passionate friends. Maybe his work had been more impressive than he had personally realized, maybe one of his family members had more sway than they were willing to talk about (which Sullivan thinks is most likely), or maybe a mix of his hobby and his background made him desirable as an agent. Whatever the reason, he was approached, and gladly accepted a chance to combine his fields in a more active role. Profession: Professional (History 3 years, Religion 1) Speciality: Solid Hand-to-hand combat with a good bit of knowledge. Sort of a bookish guy with too much interest in historical fighting styles and enough free time to sink into the training for them.

- -- [ EYES ONLY - MI6 TRAINING STATUS: PENDING ... ] -- -

The Interim Colonel Graham Harding MI6 Offsite Testing Grounds Each of you return to the MI6 offsite training barracks, after what feels like another long and exhaustive day of testing, education and assessment. It has been a grueling six months, filled with all kinds of exercises and drills. By the far the worst has been applied resistance to enhanced interrogation, but to be fair, the whole process has been incredibly taxing - mentally and physically - and has pushed each of you to the absolute limit. And just when you thought training couldn't get any harder, the instructors managed to surprise you, and found new ways to test your resolve. Of the thirty starting recruits, only you remain. Yet, despite the pressure, the militaristic method to training, and the absorbent amount of information you have had to take in, all of you can admit that something has changed. You feel different, something instinctual has shifted within each one of you; now you find yourself more aware of the smallest details, able to recognize a masked instructor by his gait alone, able to discern distant weapon caliber types by sound, and able to systematically devise a plan for taking down every opponent in a room with whatever is on hand... For all intents and purposes, you are ready. You feel it. You've been honed into a weapon, your previous knowledge and characteristics altered and adjusted, so you can be the most prepared and dangerous you that is possible. But on top of that, today is different: "Congratulations, recruits," A British officer says, Colonel Harding - one of the MI6 instructors at the training site - enters the barracks. He is holding a small, palm-sized PDA with a glowing screen. He is dressed like every other instructor, including yourselves, in standard military fatigues. "Today is your day, it seems. Each of you has been approved for active duty, pending final assignments and paperwork." Colonel Harding smirks, as he stares at each of you in turn, blue eyes cold. "But remember, just because you know more, doesn't mean you know everything. You are still rookies - granted, fully trained and capable agents of MI6, now - but you have a lot to learn... so don't go aiming for that double-O position too quickly. You are all dangerous, but those agents are deadly. Got it?" With a few flicks of the PDA, some final buttons are pressed, and Harding nods to himself.

In the meantime, I suggest you settle your affairs, sort out your wills, and have a next of kin ready for the pencil-pushers in the office..." From outside the barracks, the distinct sound of several vehicles approaching is heard. Harding turns and motions outside: "It's always nice seeing the kids grow up. But now it's time to move out of home, so pack your bags, you're secret agents now... for Queen and country." Each of you is then taken to the induction area of MI6, for final preparations...

OOC Welcome to the game. I've decided that each of your characters has something I'd like to see, as a GM. And with my recent focus on solely GMing this game, I feel confident in being able to bring on the full applicant roster, as it was only two more than the planned five. For now, please make your way to the game forum. Use the OOC general discussion thread to get acquainted, or ask questions. Also be on the look out for private comm threads, where we will spend the next 7 days refining and organizing any questions with character creation or personal stories. Welcome, agents. It's time to save the world.
