    Corporate Domination
    Gamma-Lambda IX is an 'independent colony' near the borders of USMC territory. It is inhabited by citizens of all races. It is currently dominated by powerful mega-corporations, which have heavily bribed and manipulated the colony's original government. Now, every aspect of life on this world is under their control. Some groups resist this dominion, but these revolts are often put down with great force. This corporate alliance has, effectively, established total autocracy.
    And for one reason or another, you are living under its reign.


    1. I am in charge. I am in charge. In fact, if I wanted to, I could make fluffy purple burritos fall from the sky, and you would have to react accordingly.
    2. Don't go overboard with profanity or content. Just don't.
    3. Don't godmod. Seriously. Don't godmod.
    4. If you really wanna have romance in this thread, fine. Just keep it PG-13.
    5. Don't kill people in incredibly brutal ways that create disturbing, graphic imagery.
    6. Don't be meta.
    7. Keep OOC in the OOC thread.
    8. Don't kill players without their permission.
    9. Don't put an entire killing spree into a single post- Actually, you probably shouldn't go on a killing spree anyway.
    10. Depending on the offense and whether or not I am in a good mood, I may or may not give you a second chance. If I don't, I either kick you out or kill your character. Or both.


    Me. Ask to be a GM, and I kick you out.

    Vinestab Huntwilds (Vinny as a nickname)
    Race and Gender: Floran, Male
    Age: 16 human years
    Picture/Physical Desc: see profile, however usually has on an overcoat, and glasses
    Personality: He is a very bookish individual who often looses himself in a vague thought - his mind drifts often - and as opposed to the rest of his race is incredibly pacifistic and calm. He is also a free spirit and wants to crush the shackles that bind him, and no degree of pacifism will stop him from taking that freedom back from the mega corporations.
    Traits: He is a tinkerer by nature and is resourceful with machines. He doesn't like to use weapons, and instead relies on his drones and uncanny ability for diplomacy for protection. Although he is a very shelled person, if you can get his trust it will never fail you. He is a prodigy for his age and a quick study.
    Flaws: not particularly strong, refuses to use weapons, and will completely loose focus sometimes. He can also be annoyingly immature and naive at times, due to his age.
    Items/Weapons: He keeps several assorted books in a bag, with a soldering iron and bits of scrap metal in his pockets.
    Backstory: At a young age, Vinestab was adopted by a glitch professor visiting his village. He learned many things from his new glitch father, and it became clear he had a gift with machines. At 15, he moved to Chimera seeking a job with Paramount R&D to help his father with the recent economic recession that had occurred, but quickly found that things were not what they seemed in this new city. He pledged to undo the corruption within the broken system.

    Sounds pretty good. It might be a while before we can start. This thread seems to be growing slowly.
    Edit: Alright, I put it in the OP.

    Then there is a much higher chance that I kick you out than that I make burritos of any kind fall from the sky.[DOUBLEPOST=1448307854][/DOUBLEPOST]Oh. Zetta, I left two fairly important things out of the character app. Can you add age and physical desc to your app?
