Right, troops, listen up...<br/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Ha-tennnnn-SHUN!</strong></span><br/><br/>That's better. All right, at ease. Yes, if you haven't already looked, you might notice that my character is Ex-British Army, Ex-SAS, and Ex-Officer. (The term "Rupert" is a derogatory term used by experienced grunts for an inexperienced officer just graduated out of Sandhurst Royal Military Academy. Anne Laughton is anything but that, however the grunts under her command call her the nick-name with some affection, partly in recognition that she is not a "Rupert" but also because she makes no secret of her sexuality. However she reacts very badly to people using the term in her presence!)<br/><br/>Okay, that aside, the first mission brief is almost ready. I am going to need your character sheets very soon.<br/><br/>To help you choose what characteristics to give your characters, I'm posting here a list of skills that will be required for the mission. Please feel free to pick as few as you like. Anyone picking none will not get on the team! Anyone picking all of them will also not get on the team, because I hate god-modders!<br/><br/>In other words, be sensible, don't be greedy, pick your favourite skills,  pick a back-up set in case someone else gets that role.<br/><br/>Remember, you can always PM myself or the other players, or better yet, post something here to say what you are choosing. I know some of you have expressed preferences already, but I'm seriously thinking that the actual team roles may not be as strictly defined as you might think.<br/><br/>So, here are the skills required:<br/><br/><strong>Hacker </strong>- The ability to penetrate a secure computer system, extract information and feed false information in. This person is going to be the team's 2IC.<br/><strong>Explosives expert</strong>- "You're only supposed to blow the bloody doors off!" Expert means<em>expert</em>. I want someone who can set a charge that will remove a feather from a sparrow's wing and leave the sparrow flying, and at the same time can totally demolish a tower block in one go.<br/><strong>Infiltrator/seducer</strong>- The pretty face to gain the required information that isn't stored on any computer. As already pointed out, this person needs to be an expert in disguises, and needs to be bi-sexual.<br/><strong>Locksmith/electronics/alarms specialist</strong>- probably won't be needed, but I would like one along, just in case the intel gatherers fail to gather the right intel, and the explosives expert would create too much of a bang!<br/><strong>Sniper/weapons specialist</strong>- Again, hopefully won't be needed, but I want some heavy artillery along just in case<br/><br/>EVERYONE, regardless of their other skills, is required to be a crack shot with a weapon of their choice, be it through natural ability or electronic enhancement.<br/><br/>Character sheets can be edited right up until I start the mission briefing, which won't be until everyone is happy with their character and everyone else's characters.<br/>
