Civil War 2020 Welcome to what may be the end of the United States of America, it's sad to see that the once prosperous and powerful nation has now deteriorated into chaos. The year, 2020, ironic considering how unclear the future may be. The "good" guys: America The "bad" guys: America Am I talking in riddles, yea, admittadly, but it really is hard to explain. However, as all stories go, this one too has a beginning, and I'll try to start from there. The Whole Story The Condensed Story Rules: Basic RP rules apply No God-mode No Power-play Play Nice Common Sense Have fun Uncommon Rules: Up to two characters Not limited to revolutionaries, can be loyalists. Don't care what format you write in, I'll be writing in novel format. Be reasonable with powers pleeeeease, I do not want to lay down the GM hammer on this Don't try to claim Michael Lane or John Thompson, I control, but not writing up for secrecy issues. and, in case you missed it, Have Fun Character Sheet: Name: Age: Gender: Faction: (UCA, USA, independant, rank here too) Birthplace: Enhanced: (yes or no, if yes, state where [Either New Mexico, or Mexico]) Powers: (only applicable if your an Enhanced, short description of your powers) Equipment: (important gear, specialty items, weapons, armor, etc. but keep the list short, not every item btw, unless your destitute, you can have cell phone etc. without listing.[lenient on non-Enhanced]) Appearance: (Description or Pic, you decide) Bio: (Description of character, backstory, and the place to fully describe powers if you need to.) My Character Name: Nathan Thompson Age: 22 Gender: Male Faction: UCA (2nd-in-command) Birthplace: New Mexico Enhanced: Yes (New Mexico) Powers: Enhanced senses. Sensory Illusions, creates an illusion inside target's mind of my choosing. Equipment: Standard Pistol, UCA uniform Appearance: Bio: John was visiting his family for Thanksgiving holiday when the outbreak occured. As it rolled into town, we started to hear screams, worried, we stepped outside, and as we crossed the threshold, it hit all of us. Each one of our family dropped and screamed in agony, myself included. I could feel as my brain was ablaze, I have no idea why I survived, nor does John, but we did. We both awoke only 6 hours after the pain, both our parents and everyone in town was screaming it seemed. Our heads were still burning, but it felt more like friction... or something, our brains were changing. We could stand though, we tried to help our parents, and we would have stayed there until they came if it weren't for our mother in a small window of clarity, pleaded for us to leave this place. Even then, we would have stayed if there were anything we could do, anyone nearby who could possibly help, but noone nearby seemed to be in any condition to help. Throw in the fact that phone lines were down, internet, cell service, dead, no contact whatsoever. We got in John's car and ran, and we would have gotten caught like every other running survivor if it wasn't for me, though I didn't realize it at the time. When we saw the scary guys with guns blocking our exits, all I could think of was "don't see us, don't see us, don't see us," and though John had to drive around the roadblock, we weren't noticed at all. Nowadays, I realize just how lucky we were that day, but now a danger looms over all America that we must face head-on, there's no running this time. |

This looks worth a try.. ^^ Name: Colin Roberts Age: 24 Gender: Male Faction: UCA (Top Officer) Birthplace: New Mexico Enhanced: Yes (New Mexico) Powers: Analyze - Enhanced sight and visual brain processing. Stat Boost - Enhanced strength and speed. Kinetic Drain - Adsorb kinetic energy, reducing force of impacts. Also can release the energy stored in body. Equipment: Two Standard Pistols, UCA uniform Bio: Colin was returning to New Mexico after a holiday to Texas when the outbreak occurred. As he arrived into the outer region of town he heard screams, wondering what was going on, he stepped outside, and was suddenly hit by something. He held his head and screamed in agony as he dropped to the ground. He could feel a burning sensation in his brain, he passed out as people ran past him. He awoke 5 hours later, everyone in town was still screaming it seemed. His head was still in pain, but he felt a different sensation... which made him feel weird. He managed to stand up and saw someone who needed help, it turned out to be his friend, realizing this he tried to help him but failed. He then pleaded for someone to help. But anyone nearby didn't seem to be in any condition to help. Colin took out his cell phone to call for help but there wasn't any signal. So Colin brought his friend into his car and drove off, and they would have been caught if we stayed there any longer, though he didn't think about it at the time. When he saw the men with guns blocking the paved roads, all he could think of was "Damn, need to find a way out of here" and Colin had to find a way around the roadblock. Now as a member of UCA, he still thought of what could have happened, but he could never have expected how complex the situation was. But he decided to go against President Lane and join the Thompson brothers. |

Name: Enzo Kane Age: 24 Faction: USA (covert officer) Birthplace: California Origin: Italy Enhanced: no Powers: N/A Equipment: experimental nano machines, Dragunov (forget how to spell...) sniper rifle, .45 Colt, and experimental "hot" wire. Appearance: Not much to note really, he is average in height and seemingly so in build. He wears covert troop gear and always has a mask on. Not many have seen his face... Bio: During the year 2012, Enzo was among those that were being examined to become a new breed of Secret Service. These officers now protected the head of state with the utmost of ease, using technology and amassed skills to watch over the President at all times. Enzo was chosen without a doubt. His military skills were apparent the day he went in for examination. He was psychologically tough and had acute senses due to diet and training. He soon became Lane's closest bodyguard and had grown tactically even more. The incident at New Mexico and Mexico didn't affect his resolve at all. He proved to be the most loyal soldier Lane could ever find. Enzo was sent to be tested with two new weapons, a brand of nano machines that could be released into an opponent could either render them incapacitated or could be used as a tracking device. The nano-machines could also be injected in the user, creating a metabolic rate that is 4 times the normal human rate. The other weapon is the "hot" wire. It is a length of wire that runs through two gauntlet-looking handles and could withstand the heat up to six hundred thousand degrees, above the thermite that ignites it. Once ignited, the thermite wire could easily cut through flesh and bone, and various construction materials too. With a military issued Colt and his own Dragunov, he was sent out as a covert officer to scout the UCA, in hopes to bring down the insurrection. |

[(OOC: Thank you all for your bios, and thank you century for editing your powers, but could you PM me the power of the choir thing.)] "Sir, the latest reports have come in, seven more reported enhancees have joined the UCA." Nathan said to the leader and figurehead of the UCA. "Nathan," John said with a sigh, "you know you can drop the 'sir' stuff, we're brothers first and UCA members second." "Hehe, well, I like the fact that you and I have started this, you especially. You deserve all the respect you get, plus it's official business afterall. Might as well keep up protocol I guess." Nathan explained. "Whatever, anything else?" "Yes, Arizona has declared their support for the UCA, and California has expressed interest in joining with us as well. They say that Michael Lane has stepped on their rights once too often, they haven't expressly made a declaration yet though, the governor would like to meet you... in person." Nathan explained. John contemplated for a moment, "Tell him yes, I am not gonna squirrel my way in some grand mansion while everyone else does my work. As to where we are to meet, tell him Flagstaff, Arizona in two days, tell the Arizona and New Mexican governors to come as well, fairly neutral ground, and not too elitest." Nathan spoke freely, "but John, you might become a target-" "I will not be afraid to leave just because we are now at war, but, Nathan, I do hope you'll come along as well, free to choose though, also, pick two other soldiers to join us if your worried." John declared. "Yes of course I will. In the meantime, I will check over the Texan border defenses. Excuse me." Nathan let himself out. ********************************************* [Fort Worth, Texas] "Sir, our intel has recived word of Arizona's succession, and possibly California, it seems that they are to meet somewhere in Arizona." reported a soldier. "Yes, I expected as much unfortunately, but I have called together a strike force of 5 soldiers to try and end this terroristic movement quickly," touted off an importan looking man, waving him off. He turned to face a group of soldiers, each with a mission briefing in their hands. "Soldiers, you all have different backgrounds, but you all have extraordinary skills, each and every one of them will be needed in this mission. As you just heard, they are going to meet. Your mission is to locate and neutralize the leader of this terrorist group, and any of his top officers you find, you all have a picture of him and of his 2nd in command. Those are to be your primary targets, you have free reign to kill anyone opposing you in your mission." "Now, we have a man scouting out the UCA, his name is Enzo Kane, you are to contact him as soon as possible, here is a picture of him, memorize it, you won't be seeing it again. To confirm his identity, ask him 'Is New Mexico supposed to be this weird?' odd yes, but common enough to not be suspicious. His reply will be, 'yes, it's a time of change, change is weird', again, meant to be specific and inconspicous." The mission commander strutted up to a pair of figures, one a girl, about 17ish, and of a sullen looking man. "These two are your leaders, Stella reports directly to the general, but Jack's experience is to lead the mission. Any questions?" |

Enzo used the scope of his Dragunov and scanned the surroundings in Flagstaff. His position on a building roof proved to be good cover; nobody had spotted him. He checked his watch. He thought, *If the strike team doesn't come soon... this open space... as if it's too open... Hmph. Thompson is out to prove something. If this deal goes off, we'll have formally split the country in half.* Enzo puts the gun back in his suitcase and and calmly walked out of the building. His garments makes him look extremely secretive and intimidating, but they are actually an excellent cover; no one expects a USA high-ranking officer to dress like this. Enzo noticed the guards around *Probably the guards for the meeting* and saw that they checked all the normal-looking people extra carefully. *Hmph. Almost time...* |

Name: Maximillian Maxwell Age: 21 Gender: Male Faction: Independant Birthplace: USA (California) Enhanced: Yes (He was on a trip on New Mexico by the tima of the "accident") Powers: Enhanced human habilities plus eletromagnectic control Equipment: His eyepatch with the kanji "tiger" on it, two katana (Shigure and Harusame), two tonfa (Natsu and Fuyu), a chain, his bass and some iron boots Appearance: Bio: He have grown up quite normal way, even though he's a punk rock guy, bassis of a not known band of his own, he was quite sociable with other music groups. When he was 5, his mother got him to train on martial arts, she kept him training almost everything she could, since his grandfather was a quite known matial artist, but died on a accident before he could go world wide. So his mother wanted him to fullfill his granfathers' dream. The scars on his face, that he got by the age of 12, were made when he was interfering on a group fight. On both sides there were people he knew and he was trying to stop the fight, but in the midst of the confusion, he was cut on the right side of his face. After that, he dismembered his band and since he was the head, the rest didn't try to continue without him. After that, he spent a year studying sciences (just because he did like it)and music, but he didn't feel quite suited to the school. He was always arguing with his teatchers and, because of his style, they really looked down on him, even though his grades were ok, not the number one of the school, but he had good grades. By the year of 2013, he got on his fathers' motorbike and started to trip around the USA. Just to clear up his mind. After some months of road trippin', he stopped by New Mexico. Since it was the frontier, he was thinking wether he should go to the south or not, when it happened.

To forget the painful memory and the death of her beloved mother, Aisha and her father, migrated to the US to start a new life. 7 years has passed and Aisha managed to live a normal life until one day she met an accident at New Mexico during her trip. Unknown to her, her life was about to change dramatically. At the beginning, she didn't manifest any signs and symptoms of the so called "disease". But a few days after, she suddenly conjured a fire ball out of no where. At first, she was of course frightened, but later on she managed to control her power. The President of the US, Mr. Michael Lane, realized of the existence of Aisha and ordered for her capture and her execution along with her father if in case they too would rebel against him. Aisha's home was seized by the military and during the siege, Aisha's father, was shot in the chest causing severe internal hemorrhage in his lungs. Seeing the death of her beloved father with her own eyes, Aisha lost control of her power and unleashed a massive explosion. The President requested the US investigators to retrieve Aisha's body for analysis but they couldn't find her body. And now, Aisha's quest for vengeance and freedom begins... |

[Well, it's just that no one reported I could gather in hahah I was awaiting some response before hehe] Max was wandering in his bike when some old lady seemed worried, so he stopped by and asked the old lady. "Any problems ma'am?" "Oh, it's just... I can't get my refrigerator up to my place. The guys just delivered here and left." "Hm, that's not a problem... Wich floor do you live, again?" "Tenth and I can't find anyone who can help me here" "Oh, I was wondering if I could help" "Oh, I don't want to trouble you, stranger" "So... you could lend me a bottle of milk after it's done, so it sounds like a little job" "Well... If that's so, ok then, but the elevator is off, you see? The building is old and they're installing a new one." "Oh, that's no problem, I'd rather go by stairs anyway." "If I had a daughter I'd like her to marry someone like you, you know?" "Hah, the road's my only girlfend! At least by now" After doing his job, Max got his bottle of milk, put it in the bag then left in his bike. As he was wandering around, he got stuck by Thompson, kinda important, passing in the avenue. So he asked a security in a bike. "Hey, dude, who's in?" "Sod off, punk!" "That's me, but if you wanna be rude, bet be more careful with who you talk to" "Are you threating me?" "No, but I could." The glare Max gave to the guard made him shake, so he started being more cooperative. "It's the Thompson guy here." "Oh, I see... But, for him walking in public like that, there must be something important. Nah, I don't care. These guys are just trying to break the 'United' of our country name" "It may be dangerous for common people to stay near, so, you may better clear the area" "Hm. If you want me to clear, you should let me pass. The milk's gonna rotten before I can get home"

Colin was standing outside the room in a laid back posture, waiting for atleast the younger of the Thompson brothers to exit. He was one of top UCA officers, and John's most trusted people directly after Nathan of course. He was also one of the first to join the UCA, adding to reasons of his high position. He was looking at ceiling but noticed at a corner of his eye, that the door beginning to open and turned towards it. The door opened fully to reveal none other than Nathan Thompson himself. "Hey again Nathan, did you tell him all the latest reports i assume? Anyway, I'd like to come along to see the governor of California, you know i'm the best for the job." |

[(OOC: Shinsei, we haven't gotten there yet, we're going "tomorrow".)] Nathan considered it for just a moment, "yea, I was already planning on asking you anyway, how'd you know he was gonna go see him," Nathan joked, he knew as well as anyone that John woulda gone to see him one way or the other. "Well, yea, we're meeting up in Flagstaff, Arizona. I'm coming with him, and now, so are you apparantly. Now, I just have to pick another Citizen to join us." |

Ooc: hey guys, one quick question. Can you see my pic in my character profile? if not i'll edit it.. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Days have passed since that wicked incident... A lone girl with teary eyes walked in the dark ally. Full of bruises and pain, she fell face down without anything but despair for she lost her only family. Struggling to stand up again, she gather her remaining strength but failed to do so. "Dad.." the girl said in despair And then, everything went dark. |
