The girl sat at the top of the tower with her pistol in hand, she didn't know what was left on the ground, but she didn't want to take any chances that they were just waiting for her. Her rifle laid on the floor next to her, just a few rounds left; she couldn't take any chances. Most of her team had been taken out, and she had no idea if any of them were still there or not. She peeked over her cover to see 2 enemies on the other side of the field, followed by the weapons fire cutting across the battlegrounds and striking one of her teammates; She felt more alone than ever.

-------------------------------------

27 Years after the 4th war and things have changed dramatically. After Joe destroyed the media's good views of Microsoft, and Sony crippling MS' army aswell as their own in Sao Paulo and New Natal, all 3 factions are at peace, trying to rebuild their corporate empires, From this, certain groups from each formed terrorist organization known as The Blackout and tagged on with the remnants of the Ascension group. The factions are currently working together to stop them, but for how long? New soldiers, new technology, and new enemies, this won't be a chapter of TCW that will be forgotten.

Now, to any new applicants welcome to the Console Wars, if you don't know how this is to be played than you should check out the previous wars. Basically all you have to do is write what is happening in your character's timeline (or others' for that matter) and interaction with others.

To sign up all you have to do is say "Sup bro i wanna take part in this." and fill out this application which just describes your experience and defines your character: (You don't need to fill out every section if there are things you don't want to reveal about your character just yet)

Alright now just one last thing, the rules. If you are to take part then you must follow these rules. (As copied from TCW IV; Will update them later)
- Keep all outside commentary inside (( and )) brackets.
If you need to give notes about your post, say something to another poster, or give any message outside of the game, surround your message with these. It helps us keep the story separate, which can be important as the story gets more intense.
Example: Blue laughed at GDN and Zim's awkward romance. ((Problem?))

- Use good grammar and proper English in your posts.
Alrighty. I'm toning down the Grammar Nazi in me for this, but I still expect readable posts. This means capitalization, punctuation, and mostly well-spelled posts. If you have trouble with spelling, I suggest downloading Google Chrome or Firefox, both of which have built-in spellcheck. An alternative is to type your posts in Microsoft Word and copy/paste them over. I WILL kick players if they consistently make unreadable posts.

- All players start as affiliated with Nintendo, Sony, or Microsoft.
Once gameplay begins, you can form your own faction, but for organization's sake, please start as one of the three central divisions.

- No use of story twisting powers.
Because this is a story being told by multiple people, it's important to keep players from using powers which would limit other's involvement. As such, mind-control, warping, and automatic kills are prohibited. Powers that affect the continuity of the story (time travel) should be used sparingly. You should also avoid changing other's stories in your posts.

- It needs to make sense.
I like randomness as much as the next guy, but try to keep your posts within the realm of logic and on topic. No giant mudkipz smashing down bases or ponies discovering friendship. Examples of this include "Don't worry, I still have the rebuild a base switch!" or "Yeah, everyone died, but I have 99 Phoenix Downs!" Don't do that.

- Be creative!
You have an epic story to tell - so do it! Weave tales of action, revenge, tragedy, comedy, even romance! (Keep it clean, you crazy kids.) Make your character come to life. Don't just react to what others post, but give the story its next step! Just be sure to abide by all the above rules - they're not there to limit your creativity, but to protect the creativity of others.

- If this signup ends and you wish to play, PM me or any other mod and we'll see if we can fit you in.
This is needed, as newcomers may be confused and might need caught up on the story thus far.

- I reserve the right to refuse any user entry or continued participation if any of the above rules are violated or other trouble making ensues.
I hope to not have to do this, but I will if needed. Just follow the rules and you'll be fine!

Thanks to Jack for writing TCW3's rules! I took much inspiration from them.

Alright, that's all from me for now, so get those sign ups posted and let's get this trainwreck rolling!

Current Applicants:

Name: Isaac Knowles

Age: 26

Description: Well, for position, let's go with Sony, and maybe he can be the #2, ya know, organizes stuff for the dude mainly in charge. Making calls, organizing files, helping to start and cancel events, etc. As for looks, nothing flashy obviously, he works at a big company, so he dresses well, and hair might be a bit long, furthest down it would be in the back would be shoulder length though, probably not that much, but somewhat close, not that it really matters. Outside of Sony, casual clothes, no perms for him though! Trustworthy, not a lot of friends, but that's fine.

Weapons: Average pistol, and a few skills picked up on escaping and bombs. Oh, and some old gardening tools given when he was very little, out in his shed to rust

Bio/Backstory: I'll make sure to go MUCH further into detail when the game starts up, but in a nutshell, Isaac had a father, working for big busines, started gaining ranks, and joined others. He'd been faithful, but found out about things being transported, codes, all these things meant to be kept secret, and they noticed his odd behavior more and more, and couldn't let things be told. Isaac, the son, kidnapped, the father also kidnapped, and to be shot in the head right infront of Isaac, and the mother to be slipped something and go mentally ill, and then, completely crazy. They didn't know what to do with Isaac, maybe ship him away, something, but the boss left for the others to deal with him. Isaac was able to escape, and left, trying to wipe all identity, only to now get caught up in his father's same line of work, only with better expirience.

NAME: Rico Martinez

AGE: 32

DESCRIPTION: Rico is your usual tough guy. With his black, short hair, his semi-intimidating appearance and his surprising logic, with no doubt he got into the SSO (Sony Secret Operations). Martinez takes care of everything that needs to be done undercover, but he is also prepared to give a helping hand or go all guns blazing in some ocasions.

WEAPONS/EQUIPMENT: Rico is a weapon specialist, however, his guns of choice are 9mm pistols, that he likes to fire dual-wielded. He is also equipped with a grappling hook, which he can attach to almost any surface and use to pull himself towards the target, or vice versa. The hook is equipped with a high-power magnet for iron surfaces, and four claws for softer surfaces. It can reach up to 100 meters away and pull objects with speeds of 50 km/h. Martinez also likes to carry a parachute in missions, just in case. He also owns a notable bullet-proof Hummer H3, for road missions and quick getaways.

BACKSTORY: Rico was born in Rio de Janeiro and lived with his parents until the age of 20, when he got invited to join the SSO. He then received the proper training and began to show both physical and intellectual skills when doing so. Outside the SSO, things broke apart. GDN, felling guilty for his past sins and the war that just had been over, abandoned the army and dissapeared with no clue. Zim was invited to be the new commander, but she wasn't interested at all. The commander position eventually got filled by another notable soldier. Sony managed to rebuild S?o Paulo, which now looks as cleaner and modern as ever. Rico had climbed the SSO ranks, becoming squad leader. He had always preffered to work alone however. The Ascension had misteriously dissapeared, and a new faction is on the scene. Rico is going to have a lot of work in the next few months...

Name: Michael
Age: 19
Faction: Nintendo
Description: Rarely speaks, and speaks in a monotone voice when he does. Never shows any emotion. Wears a blindfold at all times, seemingly blind but aware of surroundings, enhanced senses, capable of controlling a living thing's mental state to some degree (I won't be doing this to other people's characters without permission of course). Tends to keep to himself unless someone is in danger.
Weapons: Whatever is available to him, though avoids fighting when possible.
Bio/Backstory: Was a normal kid until one day he was kidnapped and tested on for the 'Genesis Project'. Something went wrong, causing his mental state to break and completely change who he was, and ridding him of most of his memories. Wandered the world until one day he decided to do something with his life and signed up as an engineer for Nintendo. His fellow co-workers are quite confused on how he got hired, seeing as how he wears a blindfold at all times, but he somehow gets the job done.

Name: Johnny "Bob-omb" Williams
Age: 27
Description: Well-built, short black hair and blue eyes. Scar across his left eye (Will be explained later).
Weapons: RPG, shotgun, dual 9mm pistols and some explosives.
Bio: A member of one of Nintendo's Elite Special Force Units, Captain Williams is a heavy weapons specialist and a master of making just about anything he wants disappear into a large explosion, earning him the nickname Bob-omb among his comrades. Williams grew up alone in the mean streats of London after the last Console War. The effects were still being felt in London and a Microsoft extremist killed Johnny's family. He swore vengeance against Microsoft and joined a small Sony street gang. The crimes he commited in the gang still haunt him today and eventually he left the gang and joined Nintendo. They noticed the potential that he had, but due to his past with Sony, he was under close surveilance. He quickly rose to Captain and became leader of a small elite unit known "The Hyrulers", completing many successful missions as their leader.

Name: Topher Gooms
Age: 21
Faction: Nintendo
Description: Is a cyborg. Has one real arm, everything else below the neck is augmented. Wavy black hair, parted to one side. Hawaiian.
Weapons: EMP Pistol(Augmented), Dual Blades(Augmented), Hook-shot(Augmented)
Bio/Backstory: Topher once worked for Sony. Until they changed him. Toph was in a tough corner. He owed debt to loan sharks, his girlfriend left him, and he was a slave under Sony to test their weapons in alpha stage. You could say he was a human test dummy. He didnt get paid, and the experiments that he was involved in costed Sony no money. One day, when he was testing for Sony, Nintendo raided the facility. Firefights broke out. Toph was caught in the crossfire. Sony managed to push Nintendo back, and found Toph on the verge of dying. As he was one of their vital test subjects, they couldn't let him die. They operated on him. Augmented him into a cyborg. And put him back on the job. Topher rebelled. He grabbed as many parts he could get and made off with them. He later brought them to Nintendo, where he gave them intel on the weapons Sony was going to use. Nintendo fabricated weapons for him, and thats where Topher stayed until this day. Sony is still on a manhunt for Topher, but under Nintendo, he was untouchable.

Name: Edin
Age: 25
Weapons: Doesn't own any "weapons" per say because he doesn't believe in violence. What he lacks in weapons he makes up for with his intelligence.
Bio/Backstory: Edin was born into a very wealthy family. He was often alone and isolated because he was different from his family. His parents wanted him to do something with his life. Something big. However, Edin didn't have any interest in becoming a doctor or a lawyer or a CEO. He wanted to give to others. But this all changed in the last few months. He has changed his perspective towards the people he once wanted to help. He now has a taste of revenge.

Name: Jack (last name unknown)

Age: unknown (though it's rumored to be well over 150)

Faction: Microsoft

Description: Being the president of Microsoft, one must look the part. Jack is a tall, fit man who looks to be in his 40's, though is much older in reality. His eyes are primarily green, though can flash colors when experiencing different emotional fits. He sports a goatee and slicked hair, and prefers fitted suits (usually white, gray or black), matching homburg hats, and leather shoes. After many wars, he has begun to hint at his true age, as traces of grey can be seen in his facial and head hair.

Weapons: Although Jack appears as a gentleman, he does not fight fair. Due to his digitalized powers, he never carries weapons but "respawns" them when needed, but has limited abilities to how often he can deploy such powers. His primary weaponry is the Kinect, the Lancer, and the Spartan Laser.

Bio/Backstory: Dragged into every war since the original Console Wars (and even causing some), Jack is one of the only remaining veterans known to have survive since then. Throughout his long career, he has fought Sony and Nintendo countless times, fended off multiple sieges, has been taken over by lethal viruses, and has gone to the lengths of even annihilating the planet the first time around. After experimenting with a top-secret "elixir", Jack gained "digitalized" powers, and has basically become a living, digital program. Though wielding incredible power, he has fallen victim to malware and viruses, as evidenced by the third Console Wars when he was plagued by the YLOD virus. Though usually sane, his temperament has been known to boil over and cause fits of insanity, creating catastrophes that have launched whole wars in the first place.
Jack has lost many friends and allies during these wars, among them being the former Brazilian governor Horatio Castillo, ace photographer Frank West, former Microsoftian general Arbiter, former accountant Natalie 386, former Elite rseah, and long-time friend, successor and second-in-command Kernel. Along with many friends gone, enemies have also come to pass, primarily the evil dictator "Joe" Comstock, who took over Microsoft due to discovering unused "elixirs", after Jack's brief exile. These 6 wars and counting have caused much physical and emotional hardships for the weathered man, but have also matured him from a ruthless and malevolent tyrant to a cautious and weary leader. Though, with his age becoming more and more apparent by each passing day, and with great danger looming again on the horizon, the long-standing guardian of Microsoft might finally succumb to the several decades of war...

Name: Dek
Age: 16
Faction: Unknown as of yet

Description: Dark long hair, with an unhappy, sunken looking face. Very strong, allowing him to parkour much better than an average person. Dek survive long falls, heal at a faster rate, and posses tougher skin. This allows him to withstand bangs and scratches, such as banging into brick walls or scraping is hands along them, though certainly not stop bullets. Always wears gloves and dark clothes, and usually covered in scrapes. Also hates microsoft with a passion.

Weapons: Carries a combat knife at all times, but no guns. His best weapon is his durability and ability to parkour extremely well, run fast, and jump high.

Bio/Backstory: Dek was born to a lower class mother, who was under the employment of a rather large and powerful Microsoft office building. His father had long since abandoned them and Dek, knowing him only by his mothers rather distasteful account, has never and will never ever have a desire to see or know him. This is quite the opposite with his mother; Dek cares for and loves her very much, for she has always done the same for him. For the first 15 years of his life, Dek lived a not-so-great life; he went to school, but he was unpopular and uninterested in making friends anyway. His only comforts were his loving mom and the ability to free run.
One unfortunate night, a man came to his house and told him his mother had been killed in a car accident, and that Dek needed to come with him. Dek noticed, however, that the man was not a police officer, but that he was wearing a Microsoft agent suit. What was even stranger, however, was that [i]his mother hadnt even taken the car that day[/]. Knowing something was wrong, Dek grabbed a knife from his drawer and jumpd on the mans back when his back was turned, tackling him, the knife to his throat. Dek demanded the truth, and after much yelling, Dek learned that his mother had actually been killed by a her drunken boss, both of them working late in an empty office, apart from eachother. The murderer would be payed off to stay quiet, should the need arise, and the whole story would be covered up to avoid all economic problems the story would create. Absolutely furious, Dek killed the man who had brought him this news and ran off into the city, vowing to stop at nothing to avenge his mother, and hating microsoft with a burning passion.

Only the future will tell

name: Ivan McChow
age: Unknown
faction: sony
description: tired and worn out. looks of regret and shame because of his past. short, average height and unfit.

bio/back story: lived life in a fat camp because his mixed-up family insisted that he was fat. ran away from fat camp at 14 and spent his teenage years in a small village, where he invented a chimney cap. and object that stops smoke from coming out of chimneys. he applied these to every chimney, thinking he was doing good, when it actually led to a massive explosion and swamped the village in black smoke. he then ran away again and tried to seek redemption by signing up to the war. soon after he fell into a deep pit on the front line. he lived in the pit for a day until someone found him....

Codename: "Ziggy"
Real Name: Unknown
Age: 21
Faction: Sony
Description: Long chocolate brown hair, wiry but strong, tall, intelligent, pessimistic, hardened expression, almost unnaturally dark blue/verging on black eyes, pale skin tone.
Weapons: M4, med kit, combat knife, Desert 5.
Bio/Backstory: Ziggy was quite frankly the best medic in Sony’s arsenal, she just didn’t know it yet. Born in London, to a patriotic father and an overprotective mother, she was a pacifist at heart but of course, her dad never took that for an answer. Soon afterwards, Ziggy found herself enrolled in Sandhurst, training for a job she didn’t even want in the first place. No-one ever asked if she had wanted to be a soldier in later life, they just assumed. In reality, she had expressed a desire to go to university and eventually become a Game Designer. It certainly didn’t help when every time she went into town with her squad mates, the bus passed by MM Towers. Ziggy reasoned with the fact that if she couldn’t fulfil a lifelong dream, that didn’t mean she couldn’t end up doing something different to what they wanted her to do, or more accurately he. And what was the polar opposite of killing people? Ziggy talked to her commanding officer about transferring to a Field Medic course, but the places were all taken. Later in the week, she had gone out on an exercise with the squad, the first time everyone was using live ammunition, and it had backfired horribly, a soldier with the codename of Wolf had been hit by sniper fire. With only minutes to save his life and sparse medical supplies, somehow Ziggy had prevailed in the face of insurmountable odds. And after that, the sergeant had somehow “made” a place for her. The next day that same soldier who nearly died at the hands of an ally’s gun, came up to her, defying protocol and saying his first name was Jak, yet mysteriously Ziggy had discarded her first name and only uses her codename now. After graduation she was exported to America, in a peacekeeping team based on the outskirts of Texas, near Microsoft’s HQ, seeing as the city was in a state of virtual collapse, due to the aftermath of the worst war the world had ever seen. ((Think Console Wars IV)) And like every peacekeeping force in English history, it had failed drastically, everyone splitting up to a different faction, only Ziggy and Jak going to Sony, everyone knowing deep down that one day, if they ever had each other in their sights, they would have to pull the trigger. After an endless stretch of mind-numbing war, and seeing comrades all around her die unnecessarily, Ziggy came to the conclusion that she just wanted to run as far away from her camp, run away from her life, but was now too deep in this pointless little battle to back out now. Her squeaky clean black and white morals had morphed into twisted, indistinguishable shades of grey. Ziggy’s eyes were originally a beautifully crystal clear sapphire, but now were a deep whirlpool of midnight blue, almost an abyssal black. Some people had even been calling her Abyssal and she hated the name, it reminded her of the fact that she had changed in ways she had never wanted to or could possibly stop. But every day she pushed herself out of bed, hastily grabbed the M4 assault rifle on the side table and spent another day running through war torn battlefields; healing soldiers just so they could get killed again when she was tied up with another casualty. If there was a place called hell, Ziggy was convinced she was living through it.

Name: Rhym Veir (My usual RPG character name... :3)

Age: 17

Faction: Unaffiliated

Discription: Young Rhym wasn't around for the previous wars. ((Just like me, the writer! )) But now, he has found his way into one. Rhym had had a rough childhood. Raised in poverty and never escaping it's clutches. He was finally fed up with it. After making a hard decision, Rhym decided to leave his hometown, his family, and all he knew about life. After about 2 weeks on the road, living off anything he could steal or scavenge, Rhym was mistaken for an Xbox faction revivalist and taken into custody by the Sony faction. After escaping by tricking the guards into thinking there was a distraction behind them, Rhym ran to the mountains and hid. That was when he met Them.

Weapons: Anything he can get his hands on. After being raised in poverty, you learn to fight with what you have.
Bio/Backstory: ((I did a little of this in the description... Oh well...)) Rhym is a very quiet person. When he talks, it's not to say much. But it is important. He is cunning, smart, and will turn on you in a snap. Avoids killing as much as he can (meaning he goes for the knockout instead) but will do whatever is necessary when need be.

Sup bro i wanna take part in this.

Name: Edin
Age: 25
Weapons: Doesn't own any "weapons" per say because he doesn't believe in violence. What he lacks in weapons he makes up for with his intelligence.
Bio/Backstory: Edin was born into a very wealthy family. He was often alone and isolated because he was different from his family. His parents wanted him to do something with his life. Something big. However, Edin didn't have any interest in becoming a doctor or a lawyer or a CEO. He wanted to give to others. But this all changed in the last few months. He has changed his perspective towards the people he once wanted to help. He now has a taste of revenge.

My character is kind of mysterious right now. I'll slowly unveil everything through my story including the faction he is with.

Well... I've yet to not dip my hand into one, so let's do this. And let's hope this one lasts.

Name: Jack (last name unknown)

Age: unknown (though it's rumored to be well over 150)

Faction: Microsoft

Description: Being the president of Microsoft, one must look the part. Jack is a tall, fit man who looks to be in his 40's, though is much older in reality. His eyes are primarily green, though can flash colors when experiencing different emotional fits. He sports a goatee and slicked hair, and prefers fitted suits (usually white, gray or black), matching homburg hats, and leather shoes. After many wars, he has begun to hint at his true age, as traces of grey can be seen in his facial and head hair.

Weapons: Although Jack appears as a gentleman, he does not fight fair. Due to his digitalized powers, he never carries weapons but "respawns" them when needed, but has limited abilities to how often he can deploy such powers. His primary weaponry is the Kinect, the Lancer, and the Spartan Laser.

Bio/Backstory: Dragged into every war since the original Console Wars (and even causing some), Jack is one of the only remaining veterans known to have survive since then. Throughout his long career, he has fought Sony and Nintendo countless times, fended off multiple sieges, has been taken over by lethal viruses, and has gone to the lengths of even annihilating the planet the first time around. After experimenting with a top-secret "elixir", Jack gained "digitalized" powers, and has basically become a living, digital program. Though wielding incredible power, he has fallen victim to malware and viruses, as evidenced by the third Console Wars when he was plagued by the YLOD virus. Though usually sane, his temperament has been known to boil over and cause fits of insanity, creating catastrophes that have launched whole wars in the first place.
Jack has lost many friends and allies during these wars, among them being the former Brazilian governor Horatio Castillo, ace photographer Frank West, former Microsoftian general Arbiter, former accountant Natalie 386, former Elite rseah, and long-time friend, successor and second-in-command Kernel. Along with many friends gone, enemies have also come to pass, primarily the evil dictator "Joe" Comstock, who took over Microsoft due to discovering unused "elixirs", after Jack's brief exile. These 6 wars and counting have caused much physical and emotional hardships for the weathered man, but have also matured him from a ruthless and malevolent tyrant to a cautious and weary leader. Though, with his age becoming more and more apparent by each passing day, and with great danger looming again on the horizon, the long-standing guardian of Microsoft might finally succumb to the several decades of war...

Ah, and what would we be without the mighty Jack to join in on the fun?

Also, we're getting much more creative and in-depth character descriptions than last time, good work guys, i've even noticed GDN moving onto Just Cause instead of the usual CoD references!

CoD is sooo last gen...

My character is based on Just Cause, but the main plotline won't be based on a specific game or movie. There will be some references there and that, but what would be CW without them?
Also, GDN is not dead.

Here we go, sure was fun to write this up.

Name: Dek
Age: 16
Faction: Unknown as of yet

Description: Dark long hair, with an unhappy, sunken looking face. Very strong, allowing him to parkour much better than an average person. Dek survive long falls, heal at a faster rate, and posses tougher skin. This allows him to withstand bangs and scratches, such as banging into brick walls or scraping is hands along them, though certainly not stop bullets. Always wears gloves and dark clothes, and usually covered in scrapes. Also hates microsoft with a passion.

Weapons: Carries a combat knife at all times, but no guns. His best weapon is his durability and ability to parkour extremely well, run fast, and jump high.

Bio/Backstory: Dek was born to a lower class mother, who was under the employment of a rather large and powerful Microsoft office building. His father had long since abandoned them and Dek, knowing him only by his mothers rather distasteful account, has never and will never ever have a desire to see or know him. This is quite the opposite with his mother; Dek cares for and loves her very much, for she has always done the same for him. For the first 15 years of his life, Dek lived a not-so-great life; he went to school, but he was unpopular and uninterested in making friends anyway. His only comforts were his loving mom and the ability to free run.
One unfortunate night, a man came to his house and told him his mother had been killed in a car accident, and that Dek needed to come with him. Dek noticed, however, that the man was not a police officer, but that he was wearing a Microsoft agent suit. What was even stranger, however, was that [i]his mother hadnt even taken the car that day[/]. Knowing something was wrong, Dek grabbed a knife from his drawer and jumpd on the mans back when his back was turned, tackling him, the knife to his throat. Dek demanded the truth, and after much yelling, Dek learned that his mother had actually been killed by a her drunken boss, both of them working late in an empty office, apart from eachother. The murderer would be payed off to stay quiet, should the need arise, and the whole story would be covered up to avoid all economic problems the story would create. Absolutely furious, Dek killed the man who had brought him this news and ran off into the city, vowing to stop at nothing to avenge his mother, and hating microsoft with a burning passion.

Codename: "Ziggy"
Real Name: Unknown
Age: 21
Faction: Sony
Description: Long chocolate brown hair, wiry but strong, tall, intelligent, pessimistic, hardened expression, almost unnaturally dark blue/verging on black eyes, pale skin tone.
Weapons: M4, med kit, combat knife, Desert 5.
Bio/Backstory: Ziggy was quite frankly the best medic in Sony’s arsenal, she just didn’t know it yet. Born in London, to a patriotic father and an overprotective mother, she was a pacifist at heart but of course, her dad never took that for an answer. Soon afterwards, Ziggy found herself enrolled in Sandhurst, training for a job she didn’t even want in the first place. No-one ever asked if she had wanted to be a soldier in later life, they just assumed. In reality, she had expressed a desire to go to university and eventually become a Game Designer. It certainly didn’t help when every time she went into town with her squad mates, the bus passed by MM Towers. Ziggy reasoned with the fact that if she couldn’t fulfil a lifelong dream, that didn’t mean she couldn’t end up doing something different to what they wanted her to do, or more accurately he. And what was the polar opposite of killing people? Ziggy talked to her commanding officer about transferring to a Field Medic course, but the places were all taken. Later in the week, she had gone out on an exercise with the squad, the first time everyone was using live ammunition, and it had backfired horribly, a soldier with the codename of Wolf had been hit by sniper fire. With only minutes to save his life and sparse medical supplies, somehow Ziggy had prevailed in the face of insurmountable odds. And after that, the sergeant had somehow “made” a place for her. The next day that same soldier who nearly died at the hands of an ally’s gun, came up to her, defying protocol and saying his first name was Jak, yet mysteriously Ziggy had discarded her first name and only uses her codename now. After graduation she was exported to America, in a peacekeeping team based on the outskirts of Texas, near Microsoft’s HQ, seeing as the city was in a state of virtual collapse, due to the aftermath of the worst war the world had ever seen. ((Think Console Wars IV)) And like every peacekeeping force in English history, it had failed drastically, everyone splitting up to a different faction, only Ziggy and Jak going to Sony, everyone knowing deep down that one day, if they ever had each other in their sights, they would have to pull the trigger. After an endless stretch of mind-numbing war, and seeing comrades all around her die unnecessarily, Ziggy came to the conclusion that she just wanted to run as far away from her camp, run away from her life, but was now too deep in this pointless little battle to back out now. Her squeaky clean black and white morals had morphed into twisted, indistinguishable shades of grey. Ziggy’s eyes were originally a beautifully crystal clear sapphire, but now were a deep whirlpool of midnight blue, almost an abyssal black. Some people had even been calling her Abyssal and she hated the name, it reminded her of the fact that she had changed in ways she had never wanted to or could possibly stop. But every day she pushed herself out of bed, hastily grabbed the M4 assault rifle on the side table and spent another day running through war torn battlefields; healing soldiers just so they could get killed again when she was tied up with another casualty. If there was a place called hell, Ziggy was convinced she was living through it.

Well, I can switch over to Microsoft if you'd like, although not like I've ever really played on Xbox, maybe once at friend's place, but I spose that doesn't matter in the end. Good idea to tell others to subscribe, definitely dont want it ending up where a third of the people forget to post again, although, just because I never check something like that, and just check Forum Games a lot of times each day, hope you don't mind if I just continue on like this, works better for me. ^^ Oh, and good idea starting on Saturday

Okay, but if it gets to where there are too many Sony members, maybe you should put in O.P. or title saying that Sony slots are filled.

I'm ok with Saturday, just finishing up my first post.

Yeah, I should really get started on my first post aswell...

Hope it's alright if I have sort of a flashback with it, just to build on some to the Bio to make things clearer.

1st of all, the MS capital is New Natal, second if you don't intertwine with other characters than you're basically not participating in the FRPG.

@DV, Please do include flashbacks, I quite enjoy them, infact, i've got like 3 in my first post.

2nd of all, I'm thinking of blowing New Natal up. A lot of people seem to want a new capital, but I'm still unsure whether this is a good idea. :/ Then some people on the M$ team can rebuild it to their requirements. I think that it'd make more sense that way, but it'd be good to know if anyone strongly opposes this... And in my current drafts the bomb is shaped like a Bob-Omb, (the idea is Sony is trying to make Nintendo the scapegoat for the attack) so, yet again, I'd like to know if all you people on the Nintendo faction are okay with this?

That's a big decision. And Sony needs a reason to blow up New Natal and blame Nintendo. However, that is not going to happen to soon (no need to rush the uber destruction), and I can come up with a reason for that attack if you don't have one already.

No, and no.

I am aiming for a more peaceful approach between the factions this time, there will be no major assaults on eachother in the first little while, we can work out reasoning for attacks a little later, but for now, remain peaceful with the other factions and don't go in too heavy with assaults. (except for being attacked by non player squads which i will explain later.)

While I'm not in this war, maybe you can base this around Sony's new Vita. It is a new device, and the door for many "plans, backstabs, and conspiracies" is wide open.

I'm thinking that the commanding officer is a traitor, telling Ziggy to blow up the place for his own means, then exploiting her and her squad-mate Jak for his own needs. I think I'll kill Jak off pretty early due to the fact that I really want to make her a darker, less trusting person.

SPOILER:
Imagine someone blew up another person's city and said that you did it. But the person's city which was attacked examined the bomb's casing and found that it still had fingerprints on it, tracing it back to the real person who did it. The person who was falsely accused is then grateful to the people who were attacked and found out the truth. Imagine that the "victim" then made a huge deal about the attack, creating huge media attention about the matter, making out that this horrible person who blew up a small portion of the city was shameless enough to try and pass it off as someone else's fault. People from the both the "victim" and the falsely accused start feeling intense hatred for the person who really did it (but was tricked into doing it by the "victim") and send donations and buy products to/from the "victim", so that the profits can go towards building the place destroyed. But then all the money goes to fund the "victim's" arsenal. The person who was fooled into blowing up the city is then given an extremely unfair trial, and is allowed to walk out of there with no punishment due to the fact that the lawyers suddenly unearth some human rights legislation which mean that the bomber's entitled to live. The bomber walks out of there and is handed a gun by the "victim" and told that he can defend himself if he wished. The bomber refuses to fire the gun due to a sudden feeling of guilt even though he was tricked, is getting mauled to death by the crowd when the "victim" fires off his own gun, creating panic and everyone tries to flee, but tramples over everyone else. This causes numerous casualties and another frenzy of media activity. This results in even more anger among the "victim" and the falsely accused and they set off to destroy the bomber and their supporters at their headquarters, bringing down a huge chunk of the bomber's supporters/army and market share, almost destroying the company. Read again but replace "victim" with Microsoft, falsely accused with Nintendo and bomber with Sony. This a good enough reason for you?

Ascension people are just like normal people. Despite having their bases around the Asian deserts, they look like and speak like americans. However, when nobody's looking, they start talking in an unknown language. Most of their intellingence is written that way. They possess extremely advanced technology, which might explain how one of them managed to disguise as the Commander.
Basically, their objective is to create a tension between the nations so they can proceed with their plans in peace. Plans which stand to be revealed.
They sabotaged Sony before, and are willing to do it again if it helps them.

Blackout group is with Merc, but I think that Ascension fits it better.

Interesting, I think I could try and shape the situation so that Blackout have some sort of hold over Ziggy, can manipulate her and turn her into virtually a puppet in their control and use her as an assassin. A free lancer with out the freedom.

@abyssalassassin - I'll consider the blowing up of the city, later you're not destroying it close to the beggining if at all, it holds a key piece to my story, and Jack's aswell, The Blackout manipulation thing sounds solid though, as long as you're not straight up working for the enemy.

@GDN - I don't want to reveal too much about Blackout just yet, but i can say that it's a lot like Ascension, but just working in a much more direct manner, if you catch my drift.

Hmm... I'll give this a go...

- TCW Character -

Name: Rhym Veir (My usual RPG character name... :3)

Age: 17

Faction: Unaffiliated

Discription: Young Rhym wasn't around for the previous wars. ((Just like me, the writer!

)) But now, he has found his way into one. Rhym had had a rough childhood. Raised in poverty and never escaping it's clutches. He was finally fed up with it. After making a hard decision, Rhym decided to leave his hometown, his family, and all he knew about life. After about 2 weeks on the road, living off anything he could steal or scavenge, Rhym was mistaken for an Xbox faction revivalist and taken into custody by the Sony faction. After escaping by tricking the guards into thinking there was a distraction behind them, Rhym ran to the mountains and hid. That was when he met Them.

Weapons: Anything he can get his hands on. After being raised in poverty, you learn to fight with what you have.
Bio/Backstory: ((I did a little of this in the description... Oh well...)) Rhym is a very quiet person. When he talks, it's not to say much. But it is important. He is cunning, smart, and will turn on you in a snap. Avoids killing as much as he can (meaning he goes for the knockout instead) but will do whatever is necessary when need be.

Previous Forum RPG experience? Nope... And doubt I'll be any good at it... xD

Been in TCW? Nope... Wasn't here for the previous ones... D: ((I mean in this forum... I was a member during IV I think...))

Story writing experience? Ye... N... Kind of... I can come up with a great story in my head but I have issues writing it down...

Question!

If we're accepted, are we supposed to work out story here? Or is it spur of the moment kind of stuff...? Because I see some debates going on up there... >.>

Mind if the Microsoft oldie throws in his two cents about the Microsoft thing?

I'm in favor of having a new capitol entirely. Although I never did finish my story in the last wars, it was inevitable that Jack and Joe were gonna fight, which would've been a chaotic, power-surging battle that probably would've left New Natal in ruins anyways. I think that, after at least 5 wars, with that same capitol, it wouldn't hurt to change locations. Besides, Old/New Natal always had that tendency to be, oh, I dunno- ATTACKED FIRST. EVERY. FREAKIN'. TIME. I mean, I know I'm usually portrayed as the bad guy- since everyone hates Microsoft- but COME ON!! It's been happening ever since the first war! (Seriously, you can go look up all 6 wars and at least 5 will have Microsoft being attacked first.)

Also, I think that at this point in history, due to Jack and/or others being blamed/responsible for the last 6 wars, Microsoft would be quite diminished from its empirical days of the first wars. Though I do like the idea of Microsoft being the big, looming power that everyone wants to take down, the reality for Microsoft at this point would mean that its armies would have been greatly diminished. After paying off war debts, debts to Nintendo and Sony, debts to allies, damages, fines and lawsuits against human rights, and an assortment of different crimes committed in wars past, I think it's safe to say that Microsoft would be a shell of its former self. But that's my opinion on the matter.

And since I always write my story on the spot (though I do have plans...), I'm quite flexible with whatever you guys have planned.

My idea for this one is to focus on the battle against Ascension/Blackout. They had what they wanted last war, and now it's going to backfire. Sure, there will be some tension between the factions, but in the end, is everyone against them. You'll see.

Having something planned might help, but writing everything in the moment is cool too. At least you can adapt to the other stories.

Depends. Talking with the others would be helpful, especially if you're not that experienced in writing. Judging from what you wrote down in your -Writer- section of the form, I'd recommend PM'ing and VM'ing other central guys so you can get a grasp on what you'll write next.

Yeah, what GDN said.

@Jack, Indeed. I was hoping for Nintendo to be more of the powerhouse this time around, since they always seem to be neglected. Also, if you guys want to make a new capital city it's cool with me, just let me know what it is before hand.

You'll get to, but not right at the start.

Darn it. I seem to be quite obsessed with blowing stuff up. I'm wondering if there's a cure which doesn't involve blowing more stuff up. I don't think there is...

Anyway, started from scratch and going to be leading up to that. And Ziggy's already managed to nearly kill herself already.

I hope it's alright if I have this sort of partner I can use through the story, not as a main person, my posts would still go with Isaac, but having her in and out and whatnot.

Once again, I encourage it. In fact there will be points where i'll be controlling 6 characters at once.

And knowing that statistic, I'll probably be controlling twelve at one point.

is the official thread up yet? and does anyone want to intertwine my story with theirs? im fairly useless character, so i would be the comedic part and then my partner would most likely be another idiot or a hard-case. this will help me as well, seeing as how i have never been in the console wars before.

Na, the thread isn't up just yet, and by intertwine, do you mean like, you handle your character's story, and then someone helps have it work with their posts too by having them as a side dude in their posts? If so, I can try helping some, although this is my first time in TCW aswell. We are in the same faction though. (By the way, just curious if anyone for Sony has signed up to be "the boss". I just wanna know since I entered my character as the #2, I guess it doens't matter but just curious as it would help me work through the story)

i mean sort of involve the other person. you basically write your story with them in it with you and you write dialogue for them and stuff and they do the same back to you when they write their story. i would love to intertwine our stories, seeing as how your new as well, it will be a rite ol laugh. with your gardening tools and my stick, we could own.
