Felix Culpa Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 You look at the small shack in front of you and then back down to the flier in your hand. "Congratulations," it says in bold print, followed by the words "You have been selected from hundreds of applicants to be a part of the Facility's science initiative. Please report to our main offices at 1200 Baker Street on 3 July if you want to confirm your employment." This small shack can't be the headquarters of the Facility that's been on everyone's minds since the announcements that blared at you from the TV screens for the past three months until you sent in a job application.

Qu@ke Posted June 2, 2011 Report Share Posted June 2, 2011 Name: Jon Nash Age: 27 Gender: Male Weight: 260 Height: 6'0 Other Physical Attributes: Has a rough beard and mustache combination for his facial hair and has shaggy brown hair that he has topped with a black bowler hat. He has a good and above moderately muscled physique that goes with his age and he has a fairly good skin complexion for being a guy. He wears a long grey t-shirt with blue overalls and black work boots on his feet. Personality: Jon Nash is a gruff individual who doesn't really take to kind to strangers; not to say he isn't friendly when he gets to know you but, he has to get to know you first. Jon is a proud man and wants to do right in life buy keeping himself straight and flying right. Jon is a courageous person but he's not stupid, he'll be able to help you with anything you need but he's not exactly gonna put his life on the line to do it. Biography: Jon Nash was born just like any other country boy, on a farm and butt naked. Round his tenth birthday his parents decided it was time for him to start working on the farm and starting school at the same time; he would have four hours of study and then work on the farm for the rest of the day. Jon loved working hard and studying hard, and when he wasn't doing that he was playing hard; he loved his life with his parents and wouldn't to help them forever. Jon Nash had just turned eighteen not a day before when his father passed of an illness that had been slowly progressing through his body without Jon knowing, his mother said there wasn't a cure and that's why they decided it would be best for Jon not to know until it happened. His father left Jon a note saying: "I had to make sure your mother was in the hands of a capable man, and now, that I was always proud of you." Jon knew he had a job to do now, he knew it was up to him to keep the farm going and to keep his mother happy and safe. Jon worked on that farm all hours of the day for his mom, he made sure he did everything for her and even cooked the daily meals on occasion when she wasn't feeling well enough to do it herself. Jon lived this life for a long time, a good, long, hell of a time and it was perfect for him because he knew he was helping the ones he loved but he also knew his mom was getting old, to old to carry on the struggle of life any longer. Jon was twenty six when the fowl stench of death brushed it's life changing stench on the bedroom of Jon's mother; he wasn't sad as much as he was confused. What was there to do now, his mother was mother was dead; the house and land were paid off completely and life was good for him. Jon now needed to never work a day in his life, discovering that his mother had taken his father's insurance money for his death and hers and placed it into an account for him upon her death that he had free access to; he had nothing to do in life anymore but wait for the sun to go down so he'd know what time he knew to go to sleep. A few months back Jon had seen a commercial on his television set for scientific testing and he thought he even heard the mention of the disease that killed his father. Jon thought, that if he could help in anyway to help humanity cure the disease that killed his father he could die a right happy man. So he packed a sack of stuff to take with him and then he was off to go and help change the world; he was hoping anyway...

Kyng's Old Account Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Thanks Qu@ke! This is a good RP! [b]Name:[/b] Carl Anderson [b]Age:[/b] 28 [b]Gender:[/b] Male [b]Weight:[/b] 180 [b]Height:[/b] 6' 3" [b]Other Physical Attributes:[/b] He has brown hair, which is well kept, and blue eyes. He also has a clear complextion and a nicely shaven stubble. He has an average build, not too fat or thin, not too muscley or weak, just the average, with the exception of his arms due to being a golfer in his free time. He wears a white shirt and jeans as his casual wear and occasionally he wears a golfer's cap. [b]Personality:[/b] Carl is an average, run off the mill guy; friendly and accepting to anyone and always willing to give out a helping hand to those in need. Being n average guy he also can be harsh at times. He is very ambitious and believes that if you keep trying and take out obstacles, your bound to get where you want to be. He is quite logical and always when argueing maintains calm and uses this logic. He enjoys debates, but not as much as he enjoys golf. He uses it as a stress relief and despite being the best at it he always gives it 100 %. [b]Biography:[/b] Carl Anderson, son of Jeffrey Anderson and Alicia Anderson (Maiden Name: Foxtrott), was born on a sunny day in West Virginia at 12:00pm. His parents nicknamed him Sunny or Sunshine because wherever he went people would smile by his charm. His father told him that: 'You are a very talented boy and you've never let anyone down without giving it your all son.' which followed by his mother saying 'Anyone will be lucky just to meet you.' He did very well at school, and he moved onwards to high school excellently. He aced high school and receive a scholarship to attend one of the finest universities in the country, which he accepted. In university he did decent, not amazing nor terrible. He has a degree in Law, Psycology, English Language & Literature and also Mathematics. Despite being a very bright induvidual he didn't reap in money because all he wanted was an average life, away from the harditude of poverty and the corruption of wealthiness. Carl Anderson has worked in many different firms with the aim of lawership. His last job, a lawer for a lingerie manufacturing company, had taken a hard turn when some of the products had resulted in causing the wearer harm. Despite not being his fault at all, because he didn't work on the production line, he lost his job as the company shut down. But he part-timed in many other places. He hopes this job will give him a stable finance income for his family. His family (excluding Grandparents, uncles/aunties, etc.) include a loving wife, Lisa Anderson (Maiden Name: Jones), also his high school flame, whom he married at the age of 23. He also has a 4 year old son called Anthony and they, Carl and Lisa, are expecting a little girl soon, who they have decided to call Sally. He has always been protective of his wife and children; he tries to reduce the risk of harm coming to any of them. Carl Anderson has always been described as an average guy. He has a large number of friends, but his best friends, which are also his neighbours, would do anything for him and hisfamily because they know he'd do the same and they trust him. Placing trust in this man is always a good idea. Sometimes he cannot deliver, but even if he can't he'll try his best to acheive his goal. [b]Other Information:[/b] Despite being an average man, he does enjoy a drink once in a while (but never in the same week). He is also allergic to pennuts and his own tears. Unfortunately his allergic reaction is to cry more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Organized Chaos Posted June 3, 2011 Report Share Posted June 3, 2011 Name: Robert Zeppley Age: 22 Gender: Male Weight: 120 Height: 5' 2" Other Physical attributes: He has long dark blonde hair, which is useually quite tidy, and grey eyes. He is quite thin but not weak and is actually quite strong despite his small stature. Personality: Robert is quite cold and severe. He rarley helps people and isn't really a people person : When his sister and him went cycling, she accidentally cycled into a ditch and broke her arm. Robert simply cycled on, somewhat leaving her for dead, with not a care in the world. Luckily, a passing couple found her and dialled 911. His family never looked at Robert the same way again. Robert doesn't trust many people and is very quick to accuse someone. His only ambition is to be powerful, to have the power to kill a man with a simple snap of his fingers.Underneath all of his spite and coldness, Robert is actually quite timid and sensitive. He uses his intelligence and ruthlessness to hide this but he can quickly break into hysterics when under pressure. Biography: Robert Graham Zeppley, son of Henry Zeppley and Michelle Zeppley (Maiden name : Simmons), was born on the 12th of July 1989, London Hospital in England. Raised in a family of rich buisnessman, wine-sellers, celebrities and entrepeneurs, Robert quickly grew fond of his luxurious lifestle and became spoilt. Unfortunatley, at the age of 9, his family fell into the abyss of bankruptcy. All of Robert's beloved possesions were taken away and he was soon abandoned on the streets by his parents with no money and nothing of personal value. Luckily, with Robert being privately tutored during the past, he was able to find a job very quickly and became a household servant. It is shown that it was this period in Robert's life that started to turn him into the cold-hearted person he is today. He was forced to do manual labour very day (among a number of other things) with hardly any salary and had to live in the basement with the giant-spiders and hyper-beetles. He then left this grueling job at the age of 14 to become a banker but had to do 5 years of training in which he slowly became more cold and more hateful of the world around him. He soon came accustomed to his job and earned a very good salary but had to move to the U.S.A when England's economy went bust. Alone and scared of the world around him, he decided to go back into banking to start earning money again. But the American people were much more annoying then Robert hoped and he eventually lost it and shot 2 people. The trial was long and severe with Robert bursting into tears, for the 3rd time in his whole life, halfway through over what he had done. The sentance was 3 years in the clink and it was Hell for the Englishman. All day, every day, Robert would have to do excruciating manual labour and the reward for his services would be a meal from the prison cafeteria in which the food was so disgusting, if you ate 1 square meal of it, you would have to get your stomach pumped shortly after. Not to mention the horrible showers, which really turned Robert. Even to this day, Robert has a small fear of showers and convicts. Once he got out of prison, Robert made a promise to himself - he would crush everyone in his way and never, NEVER again would he end up in prison. and that briings us up to present day Other Information: Robert interestingly has a strong love for animals. He cares deeply for them and calls them "the superior to humans, with an adaptability that man could never create". Robert also leads a group called the Animal Rights Society (ARS for short) which fights for the rights of animals and against animal cruelty and animal testing.
