Heist - A Criminal RP

So, after watching Reservoir Dogs, I decided to give this concept a try. Your characters have been invited/volunteered to participate in a bank heist planned by a shadowy figure known only as Mr. E. You all will meet in a warehouse where Mr. E will give you the bank blueprints and then the rest of the time will be devoted to planning the bank robbery.

Your characters can be specialists in any area (criminal or otherwise) you choose or you can just be a typical criminal. Either way, I'd like you to include the following on your signup sheet.

• Name:
• Age:
• Gender:
• Equipment/Weapons (if any):
• Appearance:
• Skills (if any)
• Personality:
• Backstory:

If there's any questions, shoot 'em here. Let's hope this is fun.

Hm, I may indeed be interested, will see how things go

Save me a seat, buddy

You got it. Good to have some interest!

No problem man, I've wanted a good criminal RP for a while

Spread the word via PM to your friends and stuff if you haven't already, sometimes people overlook signup threads

I will thanks. You do the same.

I might join, seeing as the RP I tried to start may be dead in the water. I'll keep you posted.

Kay, we got two players so far

A third has expressed interest.

Awesome

I just might do this. Maybe. We shall see.

I confess I'm a bit curious.

Great. Make sure to PM your friends.

I'm thinking I'll make the/a driver.

Cool. Remote control or automobile

Gonna make character sheet sometime tomorrow

Hmm... tech guy or not...

I'll be the sly lady's man of the group, maybe

You were going to be the tech guy? Darn it. Tell me if you choose something else, but otherwise I can't think of anything.

Hey - there's no reservations here. Post up a signup and we'll see.

Name: Alan Hecker

Age: 22

Gender: Male

Equipment/Weapons (if any): Laptop, Remote Control Camera Drone

Skills (if any): Camera Override/Footage Loop, Hijacking Infrastructure (like fire alarms or traffic lights; actions are limited to relevant options, namely whether the target is mobile or not)

Personality: Playful Hacker meets Starving Student. Tends to only learn not to mess with something AFTER his first failure. Will always attempt to get any money left unsecured, but not so much greedy as desperate to pay off his debts and get on with making a name for himself. Believes without any doubt that someday he will do something important, even if nobody will ever know it. Holds a grudge against an ex; though she was a shallow B- who dumped him for a college football star, he wasn't without fault either for having a bad tendency to not show up for pre-arranged events like romantic (as if there was ever any substance to the relationship) dinners, and for liking her mainly for her body.

Backstory: Despite his brilliance and university degree in computer science, Alan was unable to get a job anywhere and turned to a life of crime to pay back his student loans. Starting with hacking credit card companies, major banks and the RIAA's finances, he got caught in the act and ended up deeper in the financial hole after paying the bail. Erasing his record in the law enforcement database but otherwise having learned his lesson, he took a job at a fast food place out of desperation. That is, until he was contacted by Mr. E...

Is this any good?

EDIT: Personality greatly expanded upon.

Good start but you could stand to add in a personality section.

Noted and revised.

Dammit.

In this case, I'm gonna be the hardass boss who gambles with pretty much anything

Like I said, character sheet going up today

Oooh~

Finally, an outlet to let out my inner con artist.

Will be makin' a character sheet.

Name: Justin Zoon

Age: 27

Gender: Male

Appearance: Pretty much this◊

Equipment/Weapons: Silenced P99. Swiss Army Knife. Voice changer. An assortment of coins.

Skills: Womanizer. Talented marksman. Good runner. Limited free-running ability. Amazing liar. Good gambler.

Personality: Justin is as sly as a fox. Almost no woman to date has been able to resist his charms, and his skills as a liar are legendary. However, on the flip-side, this also means he has trust issues, is quite selfish, and believes above all he should look after Numero Uno. Nice enough guy to work with, but craves money.

Backstory: Justin grew up as one of the few poor people in Switzerland, and lived on the streets of Burn, his mother having abandoned him and his father as a drunk who took most of the food they had for himself. However, Justin seemed to have a natural knack for dealing with people, and charmed many rich people of the city out of their money, and their food. But not enough.

When he was 15, Justin learnt how to play Poker, and found out he was damn good of it. This, in his lifetime, is where he charmed his way in to the highest staking games in Switzerland, became rich, and where the foundations would be set in his mind about how things worked in the world. And how money was the only real key to life.

At the age of 18, he moved to America, got himself a nice mansion with his bountiful poker winnings, sent his father some money to help him survive at least, and set about making himself an even larger fortune. He did jobs that many rich people would never do themselves, such as assassination and petty theft-as Justin liked getting his hands dirty-and got quite handy with a pistol and a knife. Mr. E seemed to take an interest in his skills, and more importantly his hunger for money, and dropped him a letter.

Where is this taking place?

The revised Alan Hecker and Justin Zoon are accepted. And the setting will be taking place in New York City but the bank will, of course, be fictional and up to me. Also, the bank is one of the most secure banks in the world; which is why we'll need a lot of specialists.

Speaking of specialists, don't feel that your skillsets just have to be crime-related. If you want a skilled ice fisherman as a character, I can find a way to utilize the skill in the heist.

Gotcha
