If you had tried to join before the OverCast fiasco I wouldn't be so hesitant to let in new people, but I refuse to repeat my mistakes. If you don't know what I'm talking about just read through the past couple pages of the OOC. His character was Redwire. Part of the problem was that even though the bio looked OK the posts that followed tried to get everyone killed at every single turn. It would be like playing the section of MGS2 with Emma or the part of MGS3 with EVA if that escort character constantly yelled out your position and ran TOWARD the enemy.
Due to that problem I had made an entire bio for an NPC character named Dirty Skunk. He was going to be a member of the unit everyone could control. That way it was one less person to wait on posts from. I would be willing to put him aside if your character's bio measured up to what I want to see from someone joining this late in the RP. I really would like to see another actual MGS fan join. Especially since MAYBE THEN some of these other guys would realize you can't just remove a CODEC from your ear like a common ear-bud. Since it is equipment
IMPLANTED INTO THE SMALL BONES OF YOUR EAR. It cannot be simply 'turned off'. Just pointing that out to certain other RPers that have been in this RP in case they are still keeping up with the OOC.
ANYWAY. xD
So, I'm going to point out everything I have a problem with in your bio in the hopes it reaches an acceptable state. I hate to act like this toward another MGS fan but I really cannot afford to take the risk of this RP getting any more messed up than it already is at this point. Mostly due to some of my own GMing mistakes whenit came to letting people join that perhaps should not have.
IT IS NOTHING PERSONAL AGAINST YOU KILLERCLOVER. JUST AN OBSERVATIONAL CRITIQUE.
Bio Issues
-The Role. There is already a sniper in BLOODHOUND right now. So take a look at the bio for Zen's character Frostbite. Technically snipers do work in pairs, so maybe she would be okay with that. I can guess you are a Sniper Wolf fan and I hate denying people a chance to live out their MGS wishes in this RP. But I would need to hear from Zen, since her bio has already been accepted, cause I don't feel like upsetting someone whose bio I've already accepted long ago. Just so you understand what I'm talking about here is a link to the accepted character bios all grouped together:
http://www.iwakuroleplay.com/group.php?discussionid=1545&do=discuss
- The nanomachines. Other than apparently being hack-proof, I need a bit more clarification before I would allow those. On one hand it seems like they only help her in the realm of sniping, but on the other you say that it turns her into a super soldier. Beyond a super soldier in fact. Does that mean she has advanced strength and speed as well? What is the extent of their abilities? How did she get them? US government? A guy in an alleyway with a trenchcoat full of them? Just flesh them out more since they are her special ability. If you intend to keep them anyway.
-The Suit. I don't have a problem with someone wanting to use octo-camo. Honestly I'm surprised at the lack of it in this RP really. But the twin blades to sound a lot like the ones The Widow has in her possession. On top of that your EMP bomb also sounds a lot like the EMP weapon The Widow has in the sense that it is part of the suit. If it were a type of grenade or perhaps some sort of short range gun it might be a different story. But right now it is not explained in much detail and sounds similar to another character's piece of technology. It does not mean only Ampoule's character can have EMP weaponry but I am trying to preserve uniqueness among members of the unit. Plus I'm pretty sure you are trying to be unique as well. Go look at her bio in the link above along with Frostbite's to see what I mean.
-The Knives. It says she has "a series of different knives in her possesion" but that hardly tells me anything. Asmo's character has 4 different pistols but he detailed each of them. My point is that if each knife is special I need to know each type. If she has multiple knives of the same type just say what the one type of knife is in her possession. Otherwise for all I know she has a laserknife and a butterknife.
-The Ghost Squad Organisation. What are they? Military black ops in the not-too-distant-future? A group that actually exists this very day & into the future? They are only mentioned once and not elaborated on at all. It would not matter too much to me except that you make a rather big deal out of the fact her wisdom & talent on the battlefield results in her getting accepted into them. Were they American even? I really feel like I know nothing about them. And I'm the guy running the RP. If you want to keep it a secret or something that's fine. Just PM me something about them. What I'm trying to avoid is accepting this bio & then having members of this GSO suddenly chasing after members of the BLOODHOUND unit. That puts the unit in danger and isn't part of the plot I had in mind.
-The History. This goes beyond just the whole GSO thing. I really feel like it is a bit too short for my liking. As an MGS fan I'm sure you understand what I mean. Take Sniper Wolf for instance, she has a long tragic past that shaped her entire life before ever joining the military.
"I was born on a battlefield. Raised on a battlefield. Gunfire, sirens and screams... They were my lullabies..." Even a simple sentence like that says a lot about someone. I just want to know why. I want to feel some sort of attachment to Vulture so that when her life is in danger that I actually want her to survive. Why did Vulture join the military? Why did she LET them put the emotion draining nanomachines inside of her? What was she like BEFORE the nanomachines? Did she WANT to join BLOODHOUND or was she asked to join? Again, if you want to keep SOME things secret [Just PM the secret stuff to me.] so that it surprises others I can appreciate that. It's why no one really knows where the members of the Hellraiser Brigade came from. I intend to surprise everyone with their backstories & whatnot.
-The Codename. This is a major part of MGS characters. We both know that. Which is why when I saw you chose the name Vulture and then read the bio I felt sort of. . . let down. Right here is a quote from just Wikipedia on Vultures:
Vultures seldom attack healthy animals, but may kill the wounded or sick. When a carcass has too thick a hide for its beak to open, it waits for a larger scavenger to eat first. Vast numbers have been seen upon battlefields. They gorge themselves when prey is abundant, until their crop bulges, and sit, sleepy or half torpid, to digest their food. They do not carry food to their young in their claws, but disgorge it from the crop. These birds are of great value as scavengers, especially in hot regions. Vulture stomach acid is exceptionally corrosive, allowing them to safely digest putrid carcasses infected with Botulinum toxin, hog cholera, and anthrax bacteria that would be lethal to other scavengers. New World vultures have the ability to use their corrosive vomit as a defensive projectile when threatened. New World vultures also urinate straight down their legs; the uric acid kills bacteria accumulated from walking through carcasses, and also acts as evaporative cooling.
To me, personally, your character emulates hardly anything of the animal she is codenamed after. Not in her appearance, her weaponry, her history, her special ability, and only even potentially in her personality. If there were a sniper named Vulture in MGS, I think of a sharpshooter who picks off what the others do not kill right away. Or even 'steals kills' from others by shooting those already wounded and finishing them off. Plus there's the whole enhanced sense of smell angle. Maybe she can 'smell the battlefield' before getting any sort of intel way before anyone else in the unit would smell it? Anything to do with an enhanced sense of smell. This would make her an interesting total opposite of Dirty Skunk. Even more interesting is the whole corrosive stomach acid angle. I mean. . . a sniper who fires acid rounds? Now that's a living NIGHTMARE. Not only are you wounded, but your flesh is getting dissolved. Anything like that would make me more than happy to let your character into this RP.
