Hazmat: The Delta Contagion, Sign-Up and Discussion

WELCOME TO HAZMAT

This will be my retake on the original RP that started it all five years ago...

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

You are the best of the best, you are United States Marines, part of the Hazardous Materials Division. As a Hazmat member your job is simple, you go in and clean up any potential hazards by any and all means. You have been under-fire before, you have been in hot zones before.

This mission was a little different.

The location was different. Kept in the dark, the Hazard teams were shipped to the location via truck and kept under guard. They were escorted into the facility via freight lift from the interior of what appeared to be a large military motor pool, apparently devoid of any vehicles except for the truck.

The mission a secret, the facility officially did not exist. One of the many black operations being run by the US government and or military.

You are a member of Delta and Echo teams.

You are the Hazmats.

Here we will discuss aspects of the coming game, and ask questions ect.

Please feel free to chip in and chat, but please abide by the forum rules when posting if possible.

Character creation will be initially done here and then likely moved to a separate thread. Please speak with me first via PM as you are making your character so I can help out, you will also need to talk to me about your rank.

My very first thought--

"It was supposed to be a routine mission... aren't they always?"

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

I'm thinking of character creation now. My idea is going be sorted around a merging of my FPS type character and my friend Reina's. That should be able to cover a seemingly rounded character. I only say this because it seems like we might need a character like that. How many specialties can we have JR?

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

Why didn't you add the other important stuff to that page?

Didn't I sign up for this in the Idea Thread? I think I did but I don't remember.

Biography: N/A at this time. (I didn't agree with the previous bio I thought of and Jedi didn't like it.)

I am authorizing two primary specialties and one secondary. for instance marksman and explosives primary engineering secondary. you can dabble by default in all skill areas as unskilled. I will be busy most of today but will be back before tonight.

I think I'll try this out. It's been awhile since I've role played so I may be rusty.

Thanks dude and no problem. Will get to everybody sometime duringthe weekend. If you think you have a good idea of what kind of character you want just make it, won't take a minute to accept or disprove it.

ATTENTION

You may pick One effective primary (all equipment) and one secondary (partly equipped) specialities, and a third tertiary (no equip) speciality to say oh you can do things like it, you just aren't very skilled so more chance of things going wrong.

For instance, if you chose Marksman as your Primary; you would get more attachments for your guys when you get them and the ability to use almost any weapon skilled.

If you then took Recon afterwards, you would be better at Stealth, and silenced weapons, and can specifically use a Sniper rifle with deadly accuracy. Unlike Marksman, which is generalised you get specific training. It being secondary however, you may not have the equipment and weapons all or partly but you can use it fully trained.

Then if you took computers as third, then you would be able to use computersn and have knowledge of hacking but the skill will be untrained, so you aren't going to insta hack a door it could take ten minutes or so, and you will have to do more guessing. (if you get me)

If you forego the third option, you may make the first two both primary and have all the equipment you would think you would have in the field.

Please however I do not recommend dropping the third thing you will likely pick stuff up as you go equipment wise.

Don't worry about being totally realistic, this is a game we are going to have fun. Don't kill it with stats and stuff.

I'll drop the third and go with Recon and Comps. That way my character is effective as a Sniper and SMG, useful at stealth, and doesn't lose her advantage in hacking ability. Engineer was only a bonus thing I thought that might be useful.

Name: Christine "Chris" Waller

Age: 23

Nationality: Irish

Team: Delta

Weaponry: M9 Beretta with flashlight attachment, Smoke Grenade, Flashbang

Speciality: Medic, Tactical Communications (Tac-Com), Transport

Appearance: Chris stands at five feet, six inches. His hair is buzzed, with brown stubble growing in. He has a thin frame, with the firm muscles built during Basic and after. His face is somewhat gaunt, with a permanent shadow from the contrast of is dark hair and his pale complexion.

Home Country: United States of America

Motivation: Delta

Equipment: First Aid Kit (fully stocked), Portable Defibrillator, Stim "cocktails" (emergency use only), Radio Beacon with Transmitters (allows long distance communication with squad), Frequency Jammer

Special Item: Tactical Hazmat Suit

Location: Facility Freight Area before second freight lift down into the facility proper.

Biography: Christine entered the U.S. military the moment he turned eighteen to get out of his broken home. His father was a stereotypical Irish alcoholic that thought christening his only son with as female name would be hilarious. Chris didn't agree. The last straw came when his studies to enter a career in medicine ended in failure. With debts from school loans and the drain from his drunkard father, he couldn't afford to try again, and the man who sired him laughed in his face, saying he would never amount to anything. That night Chris broke his father's beer bottle over his head. The next morning he was off to Basic. He surived boot and found his studies paid off after all; he had a talent for mid-conflict medical assistance which made him top in his class, along with jury rigging communication lines. Combined with a small talent behind the wheel, arguably the only good thing his father ever gave him, he was assessed and transferred to the Hazmat division, where his medical and communication skills could prove to be invaluable.

Approved and that (discounting me) is two of four.

All present and correct. I have taken the Lieutenant rank, but feel free to pick any rank you want. Just don't be stupid about it. For the purpose of the mission, the Lt is in charge (for now).

Then what was the point of having us go to you for ranks as you said in the original CS descrip. Aghh!

Scenario, thank you for being smart enough to ensure one person on the squad will actually have some bio-chem expertise. 👆 You are my hero.

Chris will have the rank of Corporal. His skill set got him onto Delta, but he's never shown outstanding service to really get promoted.

I don't know rankings so I'll fill what we need or give me one I don't mind.

Sarah's Military Family history would suggest her rank her in the lines of a Sergeant but her lack of desire and passion about it would rank her lower. I'd personally call her a Private. Good thing I don't decide ranks 😛

Just because she rather be doing something else doesn't mean she can't excel at it. 😄
