Pursuit Force: Authority Unstained - Signup and Interest Check

Capital State has seen better times.

Although the emergence of Pursuit Force six years ago had managed to contain and root out state's most dangerous gangs and prevent what would be a nuclear catastrophe, criminals never are eliminated for good. Old gangs reform, new gangs appear. Pantha rhei.

It is high time we get back into action. The Convicts blew up the prison and are out in the public, again. Worse, somehow our old friend Don Capelli slipped out from law's hand and is plotting something underground with his renewed mafia.

Something tells me there's a big player behind the two groups, pulling at the strings... like it was four years ago. But no matter: our tech is better, our cars are faster and our recruits are hardier than they were back then.

Pursuit Force: starting today, we are taking back the streets for the third time. Chief out.

I had this idea running in my head for a while now and it's about time we put it into motion. This is an RP based on Pursuit Force: high-octane, cheese-as-hell super-high-speed-action game which by some has been described as "anti-GTA". That's pretty much it: you're a cop whose main argument in dealing with criminals is a 9mm round and a swanky police car. Operations include carchases, carfights, on-foot-gunfights, helicopter rampages, tailing unsuspecting criminals, goading them into spilling info by strapping them to the carmask and going full-speed through the traffic... it's not a boring life, lemme tell you.

Before I put up the character sheet, I'd like to see if there's interest in participating. If you peeps have any questions, do not hesitate to ask 'em. :)

Sounds interesting

Ok sure interest and can I be a criminal? If not, can I be a vigilante?

What is the tone?

@WAG: I'd prefer that players are strictly restricted to PF itself. Doesn't stop you from making one whose backstory was that of a vigilante or even an ex-con. :)

As the time comes, we might change that.

@Emperor: I think it will be a fine mix between light and dark. There will be character death if people aren't careful and we might touch some more disturbing topics, but at the end of the day it's a cheesy action-movie with slow-mo jumps from car to car, helicopters flying in car tunnels and what have you.

And now, a char sheet:

• Name: How should we call your guy? Codenames are encouraged alongside them.
• Age: Since being in this formation requires one to have done some things... I'd say 25 is the minimum age of entry. If your snowflake is exceptionally exceptional, an exception can be made if it's well-explained.
• Physical Appearance: Just body. Every PF is usually provided with a suit or any derivatives of thereof. Deviations from the standard code are ok, as long as they're something small like goggles or a muffler.
• Personality: Just what makes 'em tick.
• Expertise: Generally speaking, such a cop excels in one or two areas. Are they a driver? A sniper? Heavy weapons' user? Make sure to provide a secondary expertise in case an actual expert is not around for whatever reason.
• Equipment: Every PF member is issued with a Pursuit Force Suit of their design and, depending on preferences, an Equalizer(three-burst-round, big and bulky)/Defender(semi-auto, small and easy to conceal) pistol. Other than that however? Customization and swanky ideas are encouraged, so long as they fit within the low-key sci-fi at best, and even then it might require an explanation as to why a recruit runs around with a laser rifle.
• Vehicle: Assuming you're not using one of the classic models provided by Capital State, feel free to bring your own machines repurposed for dealing justice. Just... stay clear of Super Pursuit Car, the one in the corner. That one's off-limits.
• Bio: Who was your cop before joining Pursuit Force? Were they just a normal policeman? Served in army? A merc? Combat experience is generally encouraged, but not necessary to join. What made them join in the first place?
• Misc: Anything you think has been omitted but you'd like to point out.

Name: David Paramore (Codename: Heartbreaker)

Age: 29

Physical Appearance: Tall, Dark, and Handsome. David tries to be as suave as humanly possible. Typically is clean shaven and neatly combs his hair. When he isn’t not wearing his Pursuit Force Suit, he is almost always wearing a tuxedo or similarly suave outfit. He alway tries to look handsome to the point of obsession. He has developed so much skill with this that he can make anything, even the unstylish Pursuit Force Suit, look classy.

Personality: David Paramore has a natural charisma that can melt even the coldest ice queen. Armed with his wits and a classy British accent, he is comfortable in any situation: Be it anything from a Presidential reception to a cave full of insurgents. He is the Casanova of the team. The quickest way to make him angry is to call him boorish, unrefined, a pleb, or anything else that would suggest that he isn’t the classiest member of the Pursuit Force. While a skilled agent, he can be a bit of an idiot sometimes.

Expertise: Primary: Gadgets, infiltration, and infiltration using gadgets. Secondary: Handguns.

Equipment: A Pursuit Force Suit that he designed to be as classy possible. He also wears a bulletproof tuxedo with a built in radio, micro camera, audio bugs, and tracker. He carries a Defender with a silencer and sleek black finish. He still managed to keep many of his old spy gadgets from MI 6 including a poison pen, classy shoes with retractable knives, a case of cigars capable of firing one 9mm bullet each as well as a blowgun disguised as a blowgun, smoke pellets, a grapple hook and launcher, a tactical turtleneck for more clandestine operations, a laser watch (because why not?), aand a bowtie that works in a similar manner to a clown’s flower and can spray or dispense virtually anything he puts into it.

Vehicle: A black and red convertible Aston Martin that he totally didn’t “borrow” from MI 6. It comes equipped with bulletproof windows, nitro, champagne bottle dispenser, rocket ejection seats, and CD and cassette player for playing soundtracks that make even the most brutal car chase classy.

Bio: [CLASSIFIED]

Imputing Credentials…

Accessing MI 6 Database…

• Accessing Employee Records…
  • Agent David Paramore…

David Paramore started off in MI 6. From there he became one of their most accomplished agents, accomplishing missions all over the world. This went on until one mission where there an “accident” arranged for a foreign dictator went horribly wrong resulting in [EXPUNGED]. After the dust settled, the embassy fire was extinguished, and all the chlorine gas was cleaned up, David Paramore was fired. To this day he claims that the KGB was entirely to blame but no one listens to him. David eventually decided to move to Capital City to join the police force (but not before “borrowing” a few things from MI 6) where he was eventually chosen for the Pursuit Force.

(Please tell me if this is too silly)

Is it okay if I base mine off of Axe Cop?

It seems alright to me, just mind you: the action is in 21st century, so KGB might not operate any longer. ^_^;

Sure thing, as long as he doesn't carry an axe as his only weapon. ^_^;

That's the reason no one believes him. The KGB part was entirely made up.

By the way, how silly are we allowed to get?

So shooting at the dark, this is Kamen Rider Drive, Axe Cop with a salting of Judge Dredd?

...

I instantly had the idea of a riot cop with shield, baton and that huge bore pistol. Uno momento.

If possible, not too silly. It's a pastiche of action movies a'la Michael Bay, but I'd rather not make it a comedy.

Admiteddly my knowledge on the two first is null and void, but I suppose it might be something like this.

Interest, if only for you Ferg.
