This is a science-fiction RP with a slight supernatural twist.

This is the premise:

There exists a large installation known as Pelvanida Complex out in the middle of the Nevada desert. This installation focuses on creating the next generation of soldiers as well as weapons research. The experiments run the gamut from cybernetics to biological enhancement and even psionics. But there has been a disaster, a radical anti-technology terrorist group has attacked the facility and cut it off from the outside world. The experiments and scientists are attempting to resist but they are being systematically killed by the terrorists. An elite group of soldiers have been sent in to deal with the threat, but they underestimate the resources of the terrorists.

----------------------

Gameplay info:

You can play as the soldiers, experiments, scientists or terrorists.

Scientists - have access to all areas of the base and thus access to the advanced weaponry but they are physically weak and have no combat related skills.

Soldiers - have access to small weaponry (small arms, grenades and the like) from the onset and have access to many combat related skills but have limited access to areas in the base.

Psi-Experiments - have psionic powers but have almost no access to areas in the base and are not too good with technology. They also have no combat related skills.

Cyber-Experiments - masters of technology and have a cybernetic enhancement. But have almost no access to various areas. No combat related skills.

Terrorists - play similar to the soldiers except they have access to heavier weaponry from the onset and don't have access to as much combat related skills.

NOTE: Hybridization is not allowed. IE, you can't play as a combination of a Cyber and Psi Experiment.
NOTE: Scientists do not have access to heavier weapons from the onset. They have be armed with a pistol or an improvised weapon from the onset.
NOTE: Experiments have to be either unarmed or at most, armed with an improvised weapon from the onset.
NOTE: Experiments can side with the terrorists (resentment over being created, perhaps?)
NOTE: Soldiers and scientists are on the same side.
NOTE: All factions may use small arms (scientists and experiments included).
NOTE: Only soldiers and terrorists may use heavier weaponry (RPGs, missile launchers, etc.)
NOTE: Humans and Furries can be any faction.

Other notes:

This is a mixed human and anthro world.

You may have as many characters as you can control

An sample character profile:

Name:
Age:
Species:
Faction:
Specializations: If playing as a scientist replace with knowledge
Powers/Cybernetic enhancement: If not playing as experiment, put N/A or omit this category. Only 1 cybernetic enhancement OR 2 psionic powers are allowed.
Personality:

And please, join only if you are going to be dedicated to this RP.

Finally, PM me if you have questions and have fun!

Discussion is here.

Okay!  Count me in!

Name: PX-0715-91  
Alias: Neku
Age: 6 Since Creation (Physically and mentally 17)
Species: Anthro Reptile
Faction: Scientists
Specializations: Psi-Powers
Powers:  Kinesis (Can move most anything with his mind.  Limited to approx. 600 lbs)
ElectroKinesis (Can generate and control electricity from his body, as well as "charge" objects)
Innate ability: Regenerative Factor (Can regrow lost limbs, albeit slowly)
Empath (Can sense strong feelings from others)
Psi-Pin-Lock (Using pins with certain markings, can use unique powers, but requires considerable time to recharge, and is limited to six pin types

Personality: Neku is a kind, though somewhat sarcastic young reptilian psi-experiment.  He can usually be found rocking out to his headphones that he got from a researcher, and when he's not wearing them, keeps them around his neck.  When the terrorists attacked, he revealed a second, darker persona that is reserved solely for those who have hurt him, and as such is utterly devoid of mercy. He has a basic knowledge of martial arts, which he can use to defend himself as a last resort.

I've never been one to RP, but this one sounds really interesting, so I'm going to give it a shot!

Name: Dr. Rudyard "Rudy" Shelton
Age: 40
Species: Human
Faction: Scientists
Specializations: Great understanding of physics, technology, and (to a limited extent) temporal mechanics. He often uses analogy and historical references in his dialogue.
Powers/Cybernetic enhancement: none
Personality: Marginally sarcastic, but usually doesn't talk unless he sees a reason to. Attempts to solve any problem with logic, almost to a fault. Has no intention whatsoever of risking his life for anyone or anything, thank you very much.
Equipment: Other than standard lab equipment (and no weaponry), also carries a chargeable flashlight that doubles as a radio.

This image show the flashlight in retracted form, and being opened into talkie mode. The crank doubles as a mouthpiece.

I have an idea. What if the the leader of the base, Commander John Shelton, has left for a hearing with the UN? That means the base is vulnerable, with nobody in official command, which is why the terrorists are attacking now.

That seems like a good idea.

(OOC - I'm starting now)

James Zanasiu heard shouting and gunfire outside his lab. He ran to the office, opened a drawer and retrieved his pistol.

His assistant, an Anthro Clydesdale simply seized a large pipe from the utility closet and crouched behind a lab table.

He heard pounding on the door, after a few seconds a Human terrorist armed with a 9 mm Beretta kicked the door down and started shooting. James immediately shot the man in the chest and killed him. Another man, also armed with a Beretta entered and saw only the body oh his companion. As he turned to leave, the Clydesdale swung his pipe at the back of the man's head and killed him.

"Let's go!" James shouted.

The Clydesdale grabbed the man's pistol and went through the dead terrorists' equipment. He came away with 3 15 round magazines for the Beretta.

"Ready?" James asked. The gunfire had ceased

The Clydesdale nodded and he followed James into the hallway.

(OOC - A physically weak Clydesdale is still extremely strong by human standards)

Werner was in the office when he heard gun fire he grabbed his Walter PP9 and pointed it at the door he ran out side to come face to face with james. He lowered his gun "James what is going on here,' Werner asked.

"Werner, there has been a terrorist attack. We need to find as many experiments and scientists as possible and hold out until the military arrives. As long as you can shoot a gun you are fine." James replied.

"Yeah I can still shoot,' Werner replied. As soon as he did bullets began wissing by. "Running time,' he said out loud.

In the control room, Dr. Shelton frowned as he saw hundreds of red dots converging on the radar. Checking the security cameras, he saw the first of the attackers converge on Dr. Zanasiu's office, where he and a young scientist were under fire.

Shelton hit the intercom hurriedly. "Security Team B, this is Rudy Shelton. Report to Zanasiu's office. This is not a drill."

"I agree!" James said.

Both he and the Anthro Clydesdale fired back at their attackers as they ran.

"In here!" James said, hurridly opening a steel door.

Shelton frowned.

"Security Team B?"

He clicked the button again. The radio wasn't crackling. He suddenly realized what that means.

The terrorists were still firing when the recived a message from one of their commanders "Fall back,' they commander said. "Are you nuts we're fighting to the end,' the terrorist replied. "Fall back now we can deal with that experiement later there are others we can get to,' the commander replied. "Fall back to the rally posistion,' the terrorist yelled to the others as they ran from the area under fire from the security teams.

"We've got them on the run,' Werner said as he shot a fleeing terrorist.

James got in one last shot to a fleeing terrorist.

"Well. The terrorists are gone but there is no security team." the Clydesdale said with a sigh.

"We'll have to make our own security team." James said.

James grabbed a M-16 and handed it to the Clydesdale, he grabbed a Remington 870 shotgun for himself and he took an AK-47 for Werner.

James and the Clydesdale went through all the bodies and came away with two extra 30 round magazines for each of the rifles and 10 shotgun shells.

"I guess if we are gonna hole up for a siege, then the Advanced Weapons Testing Lab is the place to go." James said.
