For fun, I tried to write an espionage character for Extermination, with the mission of halting Adam production in the city and snuffing out promenant figures. But then I wondered - am I writing the bio for the alias, or the spy themselves? Is there a fun way to present both?

I was going to use the excuse, "this kid is a terrorist because Russians in the middle east", but would Russia and America be fighting in the middle east durring the 90's if WW1, WW2 and the cold war never happened? Surely if there was a shortage of resources, it would take less than 100 years for them to trade blows.

Also, if it is Y2K, how could anyone be a veteran of the Second Boar War or the Boxer Rebellion? Those were over 100 years ago in-universe!

West,
Such a character would work by me, why not? I suppose you could write the bio out for the alias and the spy, or indeed... create two sides of the same face. That’s kinda what Frank Fontain does in Bioshock, and I have similar ideas planned for the RP.

Eh, I didn’t want to worry about the history too much. We can consider that all empires and kingdoms are brewing with turmoil, one way or another, so minor conflict, crime and spying all fit in this case.

‘’Also, if it is Y2K, how could anyone be a veteran of the Second Boar War or the Boxer Rebellion? Those were over 100 years ago in-universe!’’
lol, I never even thought of that, actually. This was a continuity error on my part. I will have to edit the intro and provide a better backstory regarding the ‘pre-mechanized warfare’ aspect.


NotFishing,
Thanks for the pics, I already quoted your post and put the pics in.


Also, as a heads up, users can quote any of the image-containing posts to use the images for their own characters. Here are some unused images that users may find workable. Anyone is allowed to use them for their own character, if they wish,

mechanical-looking guy,


ironclad gunslinger,


dieselpunk Boba Fett,



canvas guy,


simple Ironmans,




Booker with Murder of Crows,


Asian-looking girl with colored goggles,





In other news, I have reworked the intro. It is now more sensical and foreshadows story.
