Open Cryptids RP Discussion

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

This discussion is going to be for a series of RPs in which everyone who signs up for them has to be involved with the RP in each episode. The first episode will be created when I believe enough people have joined. The story follows:
On Earth, there exists strange creatures which have not been documented very well, for most people believe they are false-the Cryptids. However, these Cryptids are monitored by a group of the secret forces known as SCS-Secret Cryptid Society. It was originally based in London, but it is now expanded to hundreds of these secret bases over the world, with the other largest main bases in Washington and New York in the USA. The people from this group are from groups such as the CIA and the SAS. This group is so secret, that, only certain members within the actual government foreign policy groups are allowed to know them-often only one or two at most. The SCS hunts down potential Cryptids which could be of harm to civillians, and they either lock them up, or kill them on site if they are too dangerous. Many attacks by Cryptids have been stopped because of this group. However, although there are many rogue Cryptids, a large group of them have started to band together with their actual goal to destroy humanity.

You control a character that has just joined the SCS. To join the SCS, you need to have either been from one of the secret spy government groups e.g. SAS or CIA or you need to have had a special encounter with a Cryptid. Basically, if a civillian encountered a Cryptid and the SCS knew, they would invite you to join the group. If you decline, it would be most likely they wipe your memory.

Maybe put up the age a bit but apart from that, this is accepted.
For people who don't know what examples of Cryptids are, here is a list of them https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cryptids (List of cryptids - Wikipedia), Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster are good well known examples. I will put the first episode up when a few more people join (maybe 2 more?). More information coming soon.

 

[Yaspen]

Okay, I thought they were like weird people or something like that. As far as the age goes, I was thinking that maybe she got some sort of government-funded special program or something like that for school. Like instead of having Social Studies, maybe she takes some sort of combat class(separate from phys ed). That's also the reason behind her not being higher in ranking.

Okay, so there's a secret academy as well which trains people who they believe have hidden talents for finding and getting rid of the actual Cryptids.

Pretty much. I guess she's somewhat of a survivalist and, for the sake of reasons for why she's in it, she did put up somewhat of a fight.

Would it be possible to add a more practical weapon, like a gun, or some explosive into the mix of weapons?

Alright, let's do this! How about she has a taser for situations where things probably shouldn't be killed and a pistol for when they should? And, of course, she has a swiss army knife that can be used in close combat.

[Ariados twice]

Name: Saturday "Blade" Montgomery
Age: 17
Appearance: Saturday is of medium height and average build. He has tan skin, green eyes, and black hair with red dyed streaks in it. He wears dark gray goggles, a black t-shirt, a crimson trench coat, and a shark tooth necklace.
Personality: Saturday is quite intelligent, though not exactly genius level intelligence. Most times he seems serious though sometimes it is only an act, occasionally including when he is internally ecstatic. He knows when to be serious for real though. Saturday is also quite loyal to those he trusts. He usually kills a cryptids, or any other creature only when there is no other choice. Saturday can be quite sensitive, but hides his sensitivity relatively well when in public.
Role in SCS (Is your character a fighter, medic etc): Saturday is a fighter, though he occasionally creates weapons for his own use.
Backstory (How they joined e.g. from a secret intelligence group or encouter): Cows and horses went missing and Saturday had decided to look into it. He found what turned out to be two Cryptid dens. One that he went into had the bones of horses and cows in a corner of the cave. The Cryptid that that den belonged to attacked Saturday. The fight went outside of the den. The other Cryptid spotted the fight and inadvertently saved Saturday with jumping onto the rival Cryptid. The second undocumented Cryptid severely injured the second undocumented cryptid. The second Cryptid then turned on Saturday, then backed down once he realized that the boy was not a threat. Saturday visited the den of the second Cryptid later that day. Twelve days later Saturday ended up befriending the undocumented Cryptid, whom he has dubbed "Milo". SCS tracked Saturday around and it was eventually worked out that Saturday could "keep" Milo and Milo would not be threatened by the SCS if Saturday joined the SCS. He agreed to their terms.
Weapons: Collapsible bo-staff with a retractable blade on both ends, which he designed and created himself. (He doesn't like guns and I don't know guns that well anyways) He also carries a taser.
Country of origin: U.S.A
Which Headquarters are they are normally positioned: Washington D.C

Hey, you're not the only one who doesn't get guns. Hence why Ava doesn't have some fancy-pantsy supergun or something like that.

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

What would happen if the non modern weapon characters were given guns as an order by the leader of the SCS?

 

[Steven quarts universe]

Are we gonna start

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

Are we gonna start

Yes- Here is the link for episode 1 http://pokecharms.com/threads/cryptids-episode-1-the-curse-of-bigfoot.14664/
You can join so long as you posted a form.

 

[Yaspen]

So, are our characters going up to NY, or is yours coming down? I'm a little confused...

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

So, are our characters going up to NY, or is yours coming down? I'm a little confused...

The majority of members are going to the NY base to recieve orders directly from the director.

 

[Yaspen]

So, are our characters in the New York base already, or what? Sorry, it's a little confusing...

 

[What Did You Do To Snoke?]

So, are our characters in the New York base already, or what? Sorry, it's a little confusing...

They are stationed at whatever base they said they were in the form you posted. If you are not at the New York base, then you probably need to have your character take a helicopter to the base. They are going to recieve orders directly from the Director (get the joke?) and so yeah, that should clear some stuff up.

 

[Yaspen]

Alright!

 

[Anchiale]

Name: Sakiya Sabishi Nor

Age: 16

Appearance: Human Form

• Long Loose Green Hair
• Bright Blue Eyes
• Cloak- Black Outside Marron Inside
• Pale Skin

Personality: Can I just roleplay this out? It's hard to describe it without roleplaying to it's demands...

Role in SCS (Is your character a fighter, medic etc): Fighter and Research-ment

Backstory: Sakiya had always that her father was dead, living with her mother on her own. One day, she left to the woods during a trip to Germany and was attacked by the Cryptid, who was found by the SCS and identified to be of the same genetic code as Sakiya, who was horrified and shocked to find that her father was a wild Cryptid that her mother thought was 'attractive'. Said Cryptid was a special Nokken from Germany called Tharos who was rumored to live there. While her mother was killed under the charges of bestiality between herself and a lion, Sakiya was pushed into the SCS after they found that she did have Nokken qualities. She still has problems keeping them under control.

Weapons: Aside from her own self, she carries a large wooden whacking stick and everything inside of her cloak.

Country of origin: She lived in Japan, her father lived in Germany.

Which Headquarters are they are normally positioned: She's constantly moving from headquarter to headquarter due to scientific research purposes, having gone from Sydney to Washington to New York in one week before.

Is this ok?

This is great! Accepted! What I would say though is, maybe change the weapon to a stronger one e.g. a gun.

 

[Anchiale]

@JohnsonAce

I understand this is modern times and Sakiya should really have a gun, but she isn't really a modern-oriented character and will only have a gun if given to her. She can have used one before, but she wouldn't want to, being partially animal in her genetic code. So sorry!

But thanks alot for letting me join and excusing my rant!
