Seemed like that might be something i should throw out there.

And my characters not going to have much of a problem with communication, i thought that through already.

Also, how customized can the cars be? I have a general idea of what i'll do, and it wont break the in game 'customization,' but i was curious all the same.

Well, Hot Pursuit has no customisation beyond the colour, and I think it's least confusing that way, to be perfectly honest.

By the way, Paragon is a Racer

Yeah, i realized that wasn't exactly the best worded question after, but my internet decided to bork on me for a minute or two. You'll see what i mean by customization in a bit:

  • Name: 'Ghost' Alex Waymond- Yes, i suck at thinking of names.
  • Affiliation: Racer
  • Rank/Wanted Level: Fugitive Cop rank: Undercover
  • History/Backstory: Not much is known about Ghost. Nobody has ever seen the driver through the tinted windows , and its become a rumor that nobody is actually driving the car, its driving itself, hence the name Ghost.
  • Cars: All cars have tinted windows as well as a black with opaque silver paintjob.
  • Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X
  • BMW M3 E92
  • Nissan GT-R SpecV (R35)
  • Pagani Zonda Cinque
  • Mclaren F1
  • Custom Weapon: Smokescreen Trail: As a replacement for the Spike Strips, Ghosts cars are equipped with a Smokescreen generator that can limit the drivers sight as well as force their car to emit a darker exhaust that can linger even after their long gone.

Let me know if i need to edit anything.

Enigmatic bastard.

Dude's going to have an issue with Stallion uniting the Racers if he won't be seen outside his car. Going to be hell getting the guys to trust him.

And since you linked to the general pages, does your character ever drive the SCPD versions of the car on a normal beat? Other than that quick question, you're fine.


Our car choices are epic though, 2 Scubis and 2 Evos. And I was going to have an Evo.

May go back to the Charger for my Sports Series, and replace the admittedly epic McLaren with a Viper/'Vette depending on what's available.

I already took a 'vette in that class, although I might switch the Jaaaaag out for something else.

All cars i have listed can be used by both Racers and Cops, but Ghost isn't exactly a normal cop. The idea here is, and this is a response to the Stallion question as well, i will be posting from the perspective of the car. There will hardly be any mention of Ghosts actual identity unless hes at the SCPD HQ in Seacrest, in which case he won't be Ghost. He'll be Alex.

[up][up] Thanks for reminding me, took the Viper anyway. Muscle all the way, now.

If i need to have a face to face meeting as Ghost, though, i'll give him an appearance and such for it. I'm not against that. Or... actually, tell you what: If someone needs to talk to Ghost, they'll be speaking to the car and getting texts as responses.

This sounds fun. Two more signups, one Racer and one Cop and we shall begin after due election of a Cop leader.

Hmm... You've got me interested. Sadly, I haven't played the new Hot Pursuit, but I have played the old Hot Pursuit II. I trust that doesn't matter too much? If I get something wrong in the upcoming, please correct me.

Ah heck, I get dragged away for a while and somebody else beats me to enigmatic person. Crud.

  • Name: "Omega" I'm sorry about that, but I'm absolutely horrible at making up real names. Maybe I'll brainstorm something up later, but till then...
  • Affiliation: Cop
  • Rank: Rank 9: Trooper II
  • History: Not much is known about this man. He never even says anything at meetings, but he always follows orders. Well, almost always. If a criminal is confirmed as a racer, he will try his hardest to crush their car into dust, even if such actions aren't warranted. His reasons for this are unknown.
  • Cars:
  • Custom Weapon: SUV Slam: Omega radios in a personal friend higher up in the force, who gets ahead of the race and charges the racers head-on with an extremely durable SUV. This kind of thing could be expensive to the force, though, and he is only able to do it sparingly. To avoid suspicion, he also does not radio in for regular blockades.

There. I tried to avoid copies all throughout, but in tier 5, you just gotta pick what looks best. Also, curse you Paragon for pulling off an enigmatic character better than me!

[up]Sorry about that.

Quick Question: Ghost would have the abilities of a Cop, correct? Even during races?

I've still got a copy of the original Hot Pursuit game.

Or at least the Sold Out re-release for the PC.

@Oblivion: I don't see any issues with your profile, and don't fret about dupes; Everyone flocked to the Lancers/Imprezas and your dupe is across the Racer/Cop divide.

@Paragon: That's basically kicking yourself in the nuts, but OK

@Ominae: Don't worry, all you have to familiarise yourself with is the weapon systems and the updated car list.

OK, so having dug out my copy of the game, I've decided to swap out the Corvette for the very simple reason that it handles like a three-legged brick.

The thing is i'll need to settle on one or the other, because while i may be an undercover cop i cannot use both. And i know a mixed weapon set isn't allowed, so...

Well, since the only differences are Heli instead of turbo and Roadblock instead of Jammer.
