SCP- The O5-Cult (OOC)

[arinot]

The SCP Foundation. Secure Contain Protect. A group that is made to protect against artifacts which threaten the world at large.
Then again, you already know this right? It was why you were selected in the first place. You also probably know you don't really have the ability to refuse us either. It's more or less a choice if you want to do a job you're qualified for such as being an agent (or for some of you, researchers) or one you're overqualified for... being a test subject.

Anyway, here's your sign up sheet. Get it done quick we have an orientation to get done.


Name-

Age-

Gender (can end up changing)-

Job (Agent, Researcher)-

[Agents work on the secure and protect side of the equation. Many of you come from backgrounds in special-ops, with a few exceptions of course. Expect to be primarily hunting down SCP artifacts, helping to contain SCP atrifacts as needed, and... doing occasional "clean up"...

Researchers primarily will be working in the labs. You all probably need even less encouragement than the agents. You probably get off to figuring out how these artifacts fit into the frame work at large. Between reality benders and machines that do the impossible, we'll leave you to your fun]



Appearance (there is a given chance that things may happen to change your appearance. A description, and maybe even a picture, may be of use if you want your face back)
-

Skills (your three best characteristics in order of ability. Best on top, worst of your strengths at the bottom)
-
-
-
Background (What makes you an asset to the program in your own mind. We've seen your qualifications, but it helps to see how you view yourself)
-

-------------------------------------------------------------------

(Note: Agents will start off as Level 1 clearance. Researchers will be at Level 3.

There are 5 levels, though don't expect to become level 5... an O5.)


The sheet is barebones as I plan the main events so sit tight. this is gonna take a little while, but I decided having your characters ready and open enough to make minor adjustments would give y'all a good start.


--------------------------------------------
Edit 1: first of all, can't let you fur up for this RP... well not off the bat . Just saying that just in case

second, realize you'll be dealing with the supernatural. guns won't necessarily save you. Just saying that cause of the fact firearms has been listed twice already

third: Very simple. Agents will be better at non-research related tasks. Researchers will be better at research related tasks.

fourth: Research WILL be important. Basic outline of how it works as of now is you ask questions about SCPs, and answering those questions has a time cost (considering implementing a D-Class cost also. Screw having cash to spend, you're gonna be spending human lives. heheh). If it falls under your skill set the cost will be significantly reduced. (If you can't tell time is valuable. Usually the amount of research time available will be given, but there can be... surprises)
This is pretty much the only "technical" thing I'm gonna put in this RP. Other things will be determined by how evil I'm feeling when I write up the next sequence of events.

fifth: Almost got the skeletal structure of RP events done. Probably will ask Shade or Buzz for some constructive criticism when I think it's good enough.

sixth: Expect SCPs you haven't seen yet. That said don't expect SCP-001.

More as it comes, tell me thoughts.

Name: Alex Brightling

Age: 26

Gender: Male

Job: Researcher

Appearance: Caucasian male, 5'11'', short-medium messy black hair, blue eyes. Wears a simple white lab coat with black pants get-up.

Background: I became interested in space and space travel in high school, doing extremely well in the subjects it was taught in. Through a national program, I was selected to be an intern at NASA. They accepted me into work as an engineer within a year. After that, I got to work directly on space ship design. Finally, I was promoted to researching and experimenting with specimens found on and brought back from space missions. When I was 23, I was sent to work in NASA's Classified Findings division. I was assigned with researching dangerous organisms that have been found on the Moon, Mars, Venus, and several other planets. I was also tasked with investigating human contact incidents with these unknown spacial organisms. I was contacted by the Foundation a short while ago, and became very interested. I was allowed to transfer over to the Foundation to work as a researcher.

update to info

[aires163]

Good sir you just made this RP 20% cooler!

[JoshCF1]

Any tips for a first time forum role player (i.e. me), with regards to generalities and being the role of a researcher?

[Buzzwolf]

No furs?! you...are an evil person...XP

I'm in, I'll work on building another agent so it's not just solo missions later on this evening after I get off work, shouldn't take terribly long, just have to do a rework to account for the human factor and go from there

and Josh, be descriptive, that's the biggest part of Forum style RPs, don't use five word sentences to describe an entire situation, put some emotion into it, describe the actions and reactions rather than something as simple as 'It exploded immediately' and leave it at that ((sorry, perfect example I'm kinda using from another forum RP that I'm doing)), we know it's going to explode, so lead us through the experience to make it interesting ^^ ...not that I'm saying somethings going to explode, it just is a perfect example...<<

[arinot]

Lol, I'm sorry about no furs. If I implemented furs from the start, certain SCPs would suddenly have different veiws on them.

That said, I am trying to tie furdom in somewhere. I mean, the SCP foundation would be ecstatic if they could give agents the best characteristics of animals, amiright?

hint hint nudge nudge spoil of minor plot

Okay, thank you!

[aires163]

Im actually excited to see an RP other than my own get off the ground so to speak.

[aires163]

We have more than enough people! Why has the IC not been created!?

[arinot]

cause every time I write up a scenario, I see things that can cause it to derp up.

That's the main problem I'm having with the SCPs... cause they're all game breakers...

[aires163]

Oh...well...that makes sense, thank you for telling me that.

[arinot]

I can promise a definite start BEFORE July is over. I'll also give weekly updates from now on so you all know I'm actually working on this...
