D.C: Body Politic OOC/ Signup

[DemonArchangel]

This is one kooky little rp. The time is well, now. Currently, congress is in session, the president is hiding some dark secret and of course there's the espionage. This rp takes place in America's capital city and many other places around the. D.C also has people from many (obviously) secret government agencies. Sorry if this seems disjointed. It's my first try at a writer's corner rp thread.

[DemonArchangel]

someone help me here, pm on how this works and how to get people to sign up for this/.

[*Kain*]

Demon, try adding a little more to the story. Give more depth to it. Also what types of characters are you looking for, what is the ultimate goal. Stuff like that. Hope this helped a little

[DemonArchangel]

ok, here's the story.

Congress is currently in session. They're debating on a variety of their standard issues, such as taxes and defense and of course how the president has been getting some on the side with his sexy young intern. Meanwhile, a young, cash-strapped research professor at NIH laboratory takes a job killing people for the government to make ends meet. And of course, there's a nosy journalist prying into the government classified files.... Also, there are foreign powers looking for U.S military secrets. This coupled with the recent murder of the president's son, well, let's just say things will get intresting. More of the story will unfold later, Those who aren't killed, will learn the ultimate truth about the inner workings of the semi-elected government of America. I'm looking for people to play...

* THe president

*majority and minority leaders, any party will do

* fellow NIH scientists

* A Hong Kong drug lord

* some more chinese people

* Somebody on the Nobel Prize panel

* An Iraqi spy

* A terrorist, (or 2)

* A chinese spy

* The president's son

* the slutty intern

*and of course any other person that may be deemed valuable. Anyone viewing this should PM me on what kind of character they want to play.

Dropped out of high school because it was to easy and became boring. Dad gave him a Mitsubishi 3000GT for getting his GED. He studies modern government in his spare time.

[DemonArchangel]

Name: Yixin Li
Race: Asian
National Origin: Chinese

Iq: 244
Codename: Satanicer
Occupation: Head of genetics department at NIH, kills people for the American government.
Appearance: 5'9, 150 pounds. Has unkempt black hair. Wears lab coat, t-shirt and jeans.
Description: A genius research professor and a child prodigy, Yixin; as a child tagged along with his father to where he worked. Yixin's father, Minglin currently works at Georgetown University, but Yixin himself stayed at NIH where "big brother" offered him a job after realizing his genius. Is a very, very unbalanced person, who will kill people on the slightest provocation. His mom hates/ignores him, but he usually doesn't spend the night in his Howard County home anyway. Also, has a second job as a government assassin, but of course, whoever pays him more money gets his loyalty....
Weaknesses: About as mentally stable as a rickety rope bridge somewhere in the Andes. Also, is not white/aryan, being white kinda helps in where the government comes from.
Abilities: Is the ultimate government agent. Fast, strong, responsive and stealthy. Also can play piano. His scientific skills are going to net him a nobel prize.

[Mordraken]

All right, you asked for the best, and you get me. Wait...

Name: Seth Gaueko
Occupation: Criminoligist/Forensic Expert
Appearence: 6'3"1/2 195lb Fairly gaunt, pale face, straight, perfectly ordered black hair in a bowl cut, copper eyes, wears glasses for close-up, replaces with Oakley shades most of the rest of the time, often wears black, olive green, or a shirt with some fanciful design on it, and always black pants, a cargo vest, and boots.
Past: A good student overall, Seth was always an outcast. He held a certain amount of contempt for people in general, even the people he considered his friends. He prefered the solace of his room, shut off by his music and his crime novles. Even though he had loving parents who never laid a hand on him, he insisted that he go out of state to college. He tested very well, and became accepted to Georgetown before his Junior year of high school. For the first time in his life, he was ecstatic. He immediately graduated early, and left the Suburbs of Chicago for the Georgetown campus. Seth graduated with honors with a double major in Criminology and English Literature, a hobby of his at the time being short story writing. He had a Masters in Criminology before his twentieth birthday, also from Georgetown. Seth caught the eye of the DCPD's Homicide Division, and was hired. That was 6 years ago, as he is 28 now. His most recent case has been rather prestiegous; investigating the murder of the president's son comes with plenty of perks. He doesn't care for attention, and is devoted only to finding the perpatrator before they inevitably cross state lines and he loses jurisdiction to the FBI.
Strengths: Single minded, excellent analyst of the human mind
Weaknesses: Single minded, sometimes misses obvious things at the behest of minutae, seen as unfriendly to some, tends to be abrasive at best
Other: Studies conspiracies and Aikido; when not working copious amounts of overtime, moonlights as the drummer and songwriter of alternative band The Wretched

This looks interesting. I would like to join in but I should say first that I know little of the american political system and all the intrigue. I know it isn't on the list of requested characters but I would like a crack at the presidents wife?

[DemonArchangel]

I'm starting the IC. But people can still sign up along the way if they want to.

[Mordraken]

I'm desperately sorry, but I'm no longer allowed to write in this thread, because of it's political bends. There is no arguing with my dad once he gets something up his ass that scares him, so sorry, but no political intrigue for me.

SETH GAUEKO IS NO MORE!!!

[*Kain*]

what? Your father said no? It's just an RP

[Nell]

Name: Celeste Stone (can change the name if you had a president's name in mind)
Nationality: English
Age: 33
Occupation: The First Lady
Appearance: 5'6, 130 pounds, slender frame and a typical english rose beauty. Wears her long red hair usually up in a french pleat and is mostly seen in designer suits - she favours italian designers. Very smart appearance, elegant with an edge.
Description: Known as the Royal Bitch by those who dislike her, this young and ambitious wife of the president hails from England, but was educated in Law at Harvard. She met and married the president 8 years ago and put her burgeoning career as a lawyer on hold to help his campaign. She tends to court public favour with her charity work and appears to have little involvement with the presidency, although those in the inner circle know she holds some sway over her husband. She does not get on with her step children who resent her marriage to their father, seeing her as not good enough to replace their mother who died 10 years ago in a car crash. She is seen by the media as an ambassador for the US, and she took up citizenship when she married. Relationships with the President have been cold lately as gossip and rumour over his affairs are beginning to leak.

This sort of thing okay? Can add more later.

[DemonArchangel]

make her 5 pounds lighter and about 5 years older.

[Nell]

Why?

[DemonArchangel]

the answer to your question is that the president is about in his 40's-50's and he is in his second term, that means he married your character within his presidency. The american public wouldn't have accepted that and then they would not have elected the president unless the other candidate was truly a major league @!@$%!

[Nell]

Fair enough on the the age thing then. But it would be helpful to have this kind of information earlier. Anything else you haven't mentioned that might have a bearing on my character? I don't want to start posting to have to edit it later on in light of new information.

Why the five pounds lighter?

[Nell]

For example, it's unclear as to whether the president's son is already murdered or not. You are wanting someone to RP him, but the plot summary implies he is already dead. Which is it?

[DemonArchangel]

ok, the president's son is already dead, and you're a suspect but you didn't do it. About the 5 pounds lighter thing; you're constantly under public scrutiny, Nell, you're not the queen, people won't automatically like you and i'm making you 5 pounds lighter because 130 pounds is a bit too heavy for someone that is constantly scrutinized.

[Nell]

LMAO....

okay if you say so ... but reality check here, 130 pounds is absolutely fine for a woman of 38, who is 5'6" and has a toned body... *shakes head and goes back to thinking about first post, muttering stuff about how the media screws with people's perception of women*

Also if I am a suspect, any clue at all regarding the circumstances of my step son's death? Or do I have free rein to make that up? The more infor the better, is what I am saying, as you seem to have the set up pretty much in your head right now, rather than on the page ...

[DemonArchangel]

you and Dakar are suspects. I haven't figured out who did it yet. after christmas break a few more people are coming. The circumstances were that he was found dead at a nightclub; apparently, someone drowned him in a urinal. You hate your step-kids and don't really care. If i get the president's daughter, i'm going to have her hire me to put you on ice.

[*Kain*]

ack I'm suspect eh? Ok that is good to know, anything else we should know demon?

[DemonArchangel]

here's what you should know. Someone thinks you are a suspect but the cops haven't indicted you yet.

[*Kain*]

I can see where this is going. Might get interesting, to bad there isn't very many ppl

[DemonArchangel]

kain, go get some of your friends to look at this thinggy. I sure did, but they're gonna go for it after christmas break. to Nell, post as soon someone asks for the job as president

[Nell]

Um, okay. I was going to construct an introductory post this weekend and make the pres a NPC... but I can wait. No probs...
