NSWRPF Archive The Dark - an 'Alias' style RP

So, I dropped off the face of the earth for a year, but I'm back with a new idea.

---

[color=darkblue][i]This game is based on the idea of the TV show Alias, its [b]NOT[/b] Alias, there is no Sydney Bristow or Rambaldi, though something of similar ideas may come into it. That means there is no need of having knowledge of the show, though it would help. That being said, I realise Alias was not a realistic reflection of the real CIA, but we are using their vision of it, because well, I'm not American, nor a member of the CIA or any secret service organisiation, and I doubt any of you are either. Therefore I reserve the right to do whatever I want. :) [/color][/i]

[u]Plot Outline[/u]
The CIA is putting together a black-ops team, to be called [b]The Dark[/b], in order to face the threat of a new Terrorist organisation known only as[b] Thor[/b]. The size of the organisation is unknown but the current leader is thought to be [b]Jeff Gonzales[/b], an ex assassin-for-hire, who has long been on the CIA's most wanted list and responsible for the deaths of at least 5 American agents, possibly more.

The CIA have asked long serving agent [b]Jacob Manwell[/b] to direct the operation and recruit team members.

Players will form the taskforce designed to track down the members of and ultimately put a stop to Thor. Their agenda is as yet unknown, but it will unfold as the story plays out. As GM, I will post new missions as they arise, and you will play them out.

[u][b]RULES[/b][/u]
1. Obey the TOS at all times.
2. Please keep all seperate conversations to PM, minimum OOC.
3. Please try and keep a general eye on grammar, spelling and punctuation.
4. No god-moding. There will be times when you have to fight off other characters, if you get shot, your not gonna just shake it off. Make this as realistic as possible please.
5. The GM's word is law. Period.
6. PM all character profiles to me before posting.

[b][color=red]This is a number limited game, the taskforce will consist of 6 members, not including Jacob - who I will be playing - and my character. Each will have specialties and their talents will be taken into account when tasking the missions. Because of this, please think carefully before joining this game, it's important you can commit to it.[/color][/b]

My characters profile. Anyone else interested?

Agent Profile:
Name: Eryn Wellington
Call Sign: Moonflower
DOB: 5/14/81
Place of Birth: Los Angeles, California USA

Physical Appearance: Eryn is shorter than average, but thin and her long limbs give her a slightly lanky look. Her hair is naturally brown, but she dyes it different colours, its currently black with a bright blue streak through the left hand side. Her hair is shoulder length and straight. Her eyes are a vibrant blue, and she has soft facial features. People often think her mind has wandered, because of the slighlty vague look her face gets when she's concentrating. But her mind is sharp. She has a small scar on her right knee from a child-hood accident and a small birth mark on her lower back.

Family: Father: George Wellington (deceased)
Mother: Emily Wellington
Brother: Jordan Wellington
Sister-in-Law: Sarah Wellington
Nephew: Caleb-Jordan (CJ) Wellington
Mother's Maiden Name: Sim

Languages: English, Spanish

Special abilities: Eryn has always had an uncanny ability with maths and can do complicated calculus in her head. She has extensive experience with computer systems and likes to brag she can hack anything anywhere. She has a PhD in Engineering.

History with the CIA: Eryn was recruited into the CIA straight out of college and quickly rose through the ranks to assisstant to Operation Technician at Langley. She has always impressed her superiors with her quick-thinking ability and cool head in pressure situations.
Family History: Her father was a mathematical genius, who wrote several controversial articles in his life regarding the space-time continuum. He taught his daughter about maths and his radical ideas from a young age. Her mother was a kindergarten teacher, who contributed greatly to making her such a caring and loving person, that her father lacked. Her father's death, while mourned by his family, was something of a relief to mainstream society. Eryn also has an older brother, Jordan, who is married to a nurse, Sarah. They have a four year old son, CJ.
Personal History/Traits: While her mother has impressed her kind and loving nature on Eryn, she understands the gruff and often down-right-rude nature her father showed to others. He, in his own way, loved her, though it took his death fior her to realise it. She is hardworking and determined, and worked most her life to earn her father's love. She is fiercely loyal, but not exactly trusting. She is not naive and knows everyone is not what they seem. She has only ever been in one serious relationship in her life, a fellow student in college - Derek Gelding - but he cheated on her after she moved back to L.A and she ended it with a broken heart. She has a very strong work ethic, and would never do anything to compromise her position within the CIA.
