Plot;
An invitation was sent out the most notable and accomplished fighters in the galaxy as a way of recruiting agents for a project known as Project Titans, which is an examination project that will combine the strengths and skills of the best fighters in order pave a path for a successful mercenary team. It was practically impossible not to accept. Either eager to prove themselves or seeking to make a quick buck, many candidates arrived and enlisted into the project. Almost immediately, they were put to the test; given assignment after assignment, each one growing in difficulty, candidates were pitted against each other in training rooms, specialized weapons and armor were granted. It didn’t take long to create a team of immeasurable strength and skill. Of course, something so seemingly perfect is never bound to last.
An enmity is driven between the agents as the million-dollar question is raised; is Project Titans really all it claims to be?
The agents have come to question the morals of the project itself and of the Board that runs it, having recently attained the inkling that there is something more underlying the purpose of this bold venture. As new assignments roll in, the agents are kept in the dark of what exactly the true intention behind these tasks are, triggering doubt and questions amongst those participating in it. How much do they really know of their directors? Of each other? Can they trust that the project isn’t actually paving a path to a world of destruction? Either way, the Board isn’t too keen on sharing every detail but nor are they eager to let their prized agents leave so easily. Whether they want these questions to be answered is left to the agents as a striking civil war of sorts erupts between those who want a better answers and those who have a still standing belief in the promise of the project.
Rules & Info This is a small group roleplay so I’ll be willing to take on 3-4 others just to keep things from getting too cluttered.
- General Roleplay Etiquette. Be as active as possible, no godmodding/powerplaying, no spamming, be as realistic as possible, be courteous and keep others involved, as well.
- Literacy. As stated in the title, this is an advanced rp. Of course, I understand low muse so I’ll be willing to overlook any shorter replies but try to maintain at least a few paragraphs or anything that’ll include detail and enough action for others to work with. I typically write novel length posts (sorry in advance) but that’s just a personal preference and by no means are you expected to keep up with that ridiculous length but hey, you’re welcome to do so, anyway.
- Characters. To showcase my lack of self-control and proper judgment of myself, I’ll have around four main characters (might add more along the way, anyway). You’re welcome to have about as many as many as you’d like, as well, and open to adding any others down the road if you happen to feel like.
- I have set a main plot, but by no means are you restricted to only follow that one plot. It’s a very flexible idea and can be stretched any which way, mostly just there to have a base to work with. You’re more than welcome to branch off from it and create subplots of your own.
- If you have any questions on the roleplay in general or need clarification on any of rules, do not hesitate to ask :^)

.:CHARACTERS:.
Agent Bermuda; 33; roleplayed by paradox
Bermuda has a lot to live up to; his mother a war hero, his father a renowned scientist, and older brother once a military captain. While those three have long since passed on, their distinguished lives have left him with a crippling burden on his shoulders and a competitive streak that borders aggressive. Ambition runs in his blood and he’ll push himself – physically and mentally – to break any limits he feels is holding him back from achieving his full potential. It has long since grown into a nasty habit to the point where Bermuda will outright leave his teammates behind and disregard orders if faced with a competitive scenario. He’s a strong willed person, although most would argue that “stubborn” is a better fitting term, and often finds difficulty in admitting he is wrong. Confidence is a prominent trait of his and Bermuda can be somewhat cocky at times, occasionally even playful. Despite all this, he makes for a good leader, capable of maintaining a serious and commanding demeanor and with a knack for resourcefulness.
Bermuda is of fairly average height with a slender yet muscular build, preserving lean muscle over bulk. He has an angular shaped face, clean shaven and porcelain skin without a bump or scar, which allows for his bottle green eyes to stand out brightly. His ruffled, slightly wavy hair is reddish brown color, closer to brown than it is red and the bangs have grown enough to reach just shy of his long eyelashes. To tailor to his physique and fighting style, Bermuda owns a bermuda blue armor suit, which is sleeker than most to allow for smooth and fluid movement. He chooses finesse and agility over brute force, best proficient with martial art and great reflexes. Bermuda heavily relies on his armor and its capabilities over actual weapons, the full body suit equipped with an AI that allows for particular enhancements.
Agent Canary; 31; roleplayed by paradox
Canary is a soldier, through and through, but sometimes it’s difficult for him to figure out when he is and isn’t at war. He is a coldly professional person, mind on the current objective at all times and everything else blurring in comparison. The emotions and occasionally even the jokes of others continue to elude his mind’s grasp, innocently oblivious to social tells almost to the point where it could be laughable. Canary has low tolerance for the smallest act of disloyalty, making it easy for one would wonder what sort of trauma he went through to attain such a paranoia for betrayal from comrades, but he’s far from an open book so it’s best to leave it to the imagination. His mind is plagued with self-doubt, insecure in his own image and decisions, so these traits often lead into perfectionist territory. Overall, Canary is a jaded and high strung person with a lot of hidden demons riding on his back.
Canary’s face is marked up with scars, the most notable ones running vertically up his left eye and another stretched across the right side of his face, jagged but appearing shallow. His appearance is a disheveled, worried one with short cropped haircut (slowly growing out of its initial military cut), constantly ruffled and in blond and black color mix. His clear ocean eyes are the only real lively color of his appearance, everything dimmed down to a worn out and tired vibe. With a basic armored suit that’s built with minimal enhancements, Canary’s skills lie in excellent hand-to-hand combat and exceptional ability where knives and daggers are concerned, though his ability with firearms leave much to be desired. He’s a quick thinker, capable of using his environment to his advantage and knows how to improvise and adapt, which makes his wit about as much of a weapon as any other firearm or specialized gadget. Without a doubt, Canary’s greatest asset is his resilience. While the stability of his mindset may be questionable as best, he displays indomitable will when it comes to surviving whether it be through combat or circumstances. Combine this with his high pain threshold, Canary is practically impossible to keep down, especially without putting up a good fight.
Agent Bronco; 34 (WIP); roleplayed by paradox
Agent Eon; 35; roleplayed by paradox
Patience runs deep in Eon’s veins, stable and rooted in his personality. His temperance and empathy is such a driving force for him that it can easily be mistook as insincere or sarcastic since a such a kind hearted spirit is rare to find in such a choice of career. A bit of a pushover, constantly calm and a laidback, subtle jokester, there is almost “big brother” demeanor that surrounds him. Perhaps because he really once was a sibling, a twin to be exact but he so often felt the more responsible and level headed one of the pair that it was easy to think himself as “older”. It’s in his instincts to spare as many lives as he can, but it provides an easy soft spot for others to take advantage of his altruism; a bleeding heart has always been a death warrant.
With the majority of his life spent fighting through hardships, it didn’t take long for Eon to adopt a permanently disheveled appearance. While his patience and optimism may be stable, his sandy blond hair is rarely anything but unkempt, ruffled and tangled, with patches of stubble growing around an uneven jawline. His eyes are cornflower blue but the skin underneath is darkened as an open display of his lack of proper sleep or his consistent worries due to taking on responsibility for others. He is of a tall and almost gangly shape, standing at 6’0” with long legs and lean muscle. There is a particularly nasty scar on the left side of his neck, though Eon takes careful care to cover this up. Eon’s strategy is very much stealth based. Expert sharpshooter is his main mode of combat, stationing himself in the highest perches to provide cover for his comrades. Diligent and ever patient, he makes for a reliable partner and is always prepared to sweep up or fix any mistakes that his colleagues might’ve made along the way. Eon rarely resorts to close combat, prefers keeping a safe distance where he can keep a bird’s eye view, but his fighting style consists of quick and calculated actions to get the job done as soon as possible. Typically armed with a grappling hook and a scoped rifle, Eon’s most notable gadget is a specialized recon helmet with eight eyelets that allows for multiple views of his surroundings.
Agent Folie; Basile Durand; 49; roleplayed by Xiahou Dun
Basile Durand, formerly Commandant Durand, now better known to most others as Agent Folie, is a man of friendly demanor. Despite his many years in military service, Basile has never allowed time and hardships to destroy his optimism and love for the world and life. Instead, he worked harder to be kinder in a world where kindness was weakness. That is not to say that Basile is an easy man to take advantage of. He might not be the sharpest tool in the box, but Basile can tell when he's being used. Specialized armor/weapons & skillset
Agent Impavid; Vincent Jianhong Gagnon; 47; roleplayed by Xiahou Dun
Brief Bio (personality & appearance, whatever else you deem necessary); Specialized armor/weapons & skillset
Agent Swift; Hadrian G. Alswell; 29; roleplayed by Stead.Zero
Hadrian's family life was practically nonexistent growing up, his father and mother were rarely, if ever, around. Even when they were they'd only be home for a few hours at a time. This caused Hadrian to have to learn to live life without depending on anything, growing up with no parents Hadrian fell into a life of crime. He became very quick on his feet and silent, he also learned how to hide with essentially nothing around him. He grew cocky and ended up stealing from a large crime lord, after narrowly escaping death, he promised to never go back to his life of crime. He signed up for Project Titan hoping to right the wrongs he performed in the past.
Hadrian's eyes have a shifty, yet playful, look to them, people usually tend to distrust him. Standing at 5'6" Hadrian's short but stocky frame usually causes any opponents who see him to underestimate him. He has short reddish brown hair, with a light beard on his jawline. Hadrian's preferred weapon of choice are two custom made shotguns. He uses the shadows to ambush his opponents while they aren't suspecting anything, if he feels overwhelmed in combat Hadrian will disappear and try to pick off his opponents one by one. He uses a light cloaking field to help blend in with his surroundings. what is most likely his favorite piece of equipment is a pair of gloves and boots that allow him to stick to walls.
Agent Valkyrie; Hawkins Day; 30; roleplayed by Ninja
Intelligent, creative, intuitive, none of Hawkins’ family members anticipated her acceptance into the Titan program. Her parents expected her to follow their suit, to become the next award winning innovator in the medical field. Her father, a biomedical engineer who pioneered research in biological weapons had guided her in the way of medical science for as long as she could remember. Her mother, a trauma surgeon, taught her lifesaving skills that could dictate the survival of a patient, so it was inevitable for her to follow in their footsteps and become a professional of her own. Much to her family’s disappointment, she dropped out of medical school to “find herself” and in doing so, she applied to the program on a whim. She serves as the medic for the Titan team, using her knowledge in the medical for support in the field. While she may not be as physically sound or tough as her team mates, she has continually proven her ability to defend herself and do her duty. As of late she has spent tireless hours honing on her skills, often asking her team mates for assistance. Luckily for her, she is strangely adept in learning martial arts and other forms of offensive attack, and continually strives to get better for the sake of her team.
With the ability to think clearly in hectic situations, Hawkins is a rebellious and curious soul. Otherwise kindhearted and level-headed, Hawkins remains an emotional outlet for the team, keen to interact and learn about the other agents. Hawkins is admittedly odd looking; her appearance comes as a blessing and a curse to her. She stands at a height a little below average, about five feet and three inches. She is slim and otherwise athletic, with average curves revealing her femininity. Her dark tan skin retains a warm glow, which contrasts against her ashy platinum colored hair. It used to be long, but for the sake of efficiency and the work she is currently employed in, Hawkins has cut it to reach just past her shoulders. A dark gunmetal hue resides in the pools of her irises. Prior to joining the program, Hawkins had been a practitioner of self-defense, boxing and other physical activities, leaving her able to easily fend for herself in missions. She specializes in the use of a Tricorder, a device that can adequately scan a patient, and determine the treatment needed, and a mini light saber of sorts that she can tweak to use for her advantage.

I really want to join because I have been craving a quality advanced role-play but then again, I remember my life makes me incredibly busy and I wouldn't want to be a burden, but then again I really could work on replies after work. Also this is reminiscent of my current obsession, so I am really tempted to accept. Please excuse this rambling, I would like to join.
Before I start a post, I do have a question or two before I complete the form.

I made it just in time then, here's my form: Agent Swift; Hadrian G. Alswell; 29; Hadrian's family life was practically nonexistent growing up, his father and mother were rarely, if ever, around.

[okay so for the devices, the tricorder is something from Star Trek, and with the other, it’s almost like a thing that she can alter to be a scalpel or like, a probe, etc. Is that alright? I was going for futuristic but not like, impossible. If you have any ideas do share.

oh, that sounds really lovely, actually! water parks are so fun <3 i'm glad that you're enjoying it!!
ehh, this is disgustingly late, but here's my character. let me know if there's anything that needs to be changed about her.
Agent Brink; Dominika M. G. Rosario
Physically, Rosario is a pretty conventional definition of intimidating--standing at the above-average height of 6-foot-even, with her black hair kept permanently cropped, and arms always crossed, she cuts a severe figure. And, personality-wise, she isn't much different. Extraordinary strict, Rosario is the type of person who will follow rules almost without question, and follow them as exactly as possible. Though she tries to keep an even temperament while amongst teammates, she can be snarky and irritable, and gets angered easily--especially by anyone who steps out of line. Unsurprising, really, when considering her family--her mother, much like herself, was a mixed martial-artist, and her father was a military officer, and so most of her life has been one of discipline and self-control--though she often fails in the latter, when her temper is triggered. She sought Project Titans as a way to better herself, hoping only to improve on her training and become a better fighter than she is.
In regards to skills, Rosario doesn't favor technology. She would much rather use her fists, or knees, or feet, as she has been kickboxing from a young age, and now specializes in Muay Thai fighting. She takes her fighting very seriously, growing up with cage matches and championships, until now, when she could seek out a higher level of work that would let her do more than take a title for yet another year in a row. She is ok with a few weapons, especially ones that she can tie to her fighting--"It's not a 'sport,'" she would retort if you were to call it by any other name than a fight--but would much rather let her own body do the work--something that she knows and can trust better than any of the flimsy, unreliable technology of the age.
