				Story: The year is 3024 and the Earth has been pushed to the brink. The surface is polluted and practically unsafe to live in so mankind has retreated inwards. Great spanning cities and tunnels mark the underground as the poor and helpless huddle. The rich and powerful live in space governing the cities from giant colonies and their elite troops. <br><br>Those who can work barely scrape by and the criminals take what little they gain. Those who get caught are banished to the surface where the pollution mutates them into grotesque creatures. Scavanging parties aren't safe from these dangers either as they are forced to used second hand enviromental suits.<br><br>There are some who envision a better life for all however.... They are a resistance group that call themselves The Hellknights. Having scavanged enough suits and power armor a small group has made their way towards where an old base is supposed to be. Untouched by the New Earth Government this base is supposed to house enough weapons and armor to finally give those that live underground a chance to free themselves. Although as this small group draws nearer to this place will what they hope to find actually exist? Or is this just another false hope?<br><br>Chars: All player chars are resistance members, but secondary chars can be ordinary people or even members of The New Earth. In this future augmentations are commonplace as people are able to have biotic parts even if they don't want them. For those that live underground the augs and biotic parts are older and usually are from before they went undergroud.&nbsp; Biosuits and power armor are often pieced together and no two suits look the same. <br><br>Fighting in space often take place between ships and to lesser extent giant huminoid suits called Mobile Suits or MS's for short.

				Name: Scott Kendall<br>Age: Unknown (appears 23)<br>Sex: Male<br>Appearance: Scott stands at 5'11" and weighs in at 150 pounds. He has brown hair that sits at shoulder length and blue eyes. Never having been a weightlifter Scott doesn't have large muscles but he has always preferred agility to strength anyways. He prefers to wears jeans and a t-shirt with regular boots, but around the base he usually gets stuck with leftover coveralls... His father grafted several ports into Scott's body to link with his biosuit and mobile suit.<br><br>History: Scott's father is noted inventor Jacob Kendall and was stationed at the old base. Jacob invented several things the more popular being the biosuits and mobile suits. He was distributing them to those less fortunate underground for nothing when he was taken by the NEG to develop for their army. Having seen this Jacob had sealed the base and moved to a new location awhile back leaving the rumor behind. The NEG is unaware of the base....<br><br>His son Scott was left behind in the base. Jacob had developed some experimental technology that he used on his son in desperation. Scott had several ports grafted to his body that are used to link with his biosuit and from there the suit links with his MS and lets him control it with his impulses rather then traditional cockpit controls.<br><br>The links also supply him with information about the base and computer passcodes. Lastly Scott was put into stasis to ensure his survival til the base could be found. The stasis was untested so it's effects on his body could not be predicted. The biggest being that his aging was retarded to the point where it's effects couldn't be seen. Being asleep Scott can't remember what his age is and is unaware that to be in the pod he had to be unclothed.<br><br>Biosuit: It color shifts as needed, but it's default color is black. It also doubles as a form of power armor powered from Scott's electrical impulses.<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/lestat69_99/Rp%20char%20pics/Guyver1.jpg)</div></div><br>Mobile Suit:<br><br><div class="spoiler_container"><div onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button" class="spoiler_header">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v398/lestat69_99/Rp%20char%20pics/amx-011ZakuIII.jpg)</div></div>

				I like both characters... I leave the decision on where to start up to you, we could go from the main resistance base or start in a community closer to the base. I'll use a NPC until the base is found...<br>

				The rank structure goes for the resistance like this (lowest first)<br><br>Private<br>Private First Class<br>Lance Corporal<br>Corporal<br>Seargent<br>Staff Seargent<br>Gunnery Seargent<br>First Seargent<br>Master Seargent<br>Officers<br><br>Right now you would be Seargent or lower. Normally the squad would be structured with a Seargent leading then a Corporal and the other two would be any combination of the three lowest ranks. <br><br>For the roleplay though they are all either seargents, corporals and lance corporals. Also the best out of those three ranks at what they do, since they trying to stay under the radar they won't send any boots or PFC's. After the base is found though all of you will probably be promoted.
