Freedom to Die: A 2nd Euro AC

As of July 31st 2012 THIS GAME IS DEAD.

"Well Gentlemen, we begin tommorrow. For too long now has the empire ruled over this land, and tommorrow we will finally end it. We are not the first to take this step, and you all know that the Imperials are fighting across the world against people such as us. Fighting, and losing. It is past time that we join the fight, lest we find our liberators as bad as our oppressors. I will not say the coming days will be easy, or that they will be bloodless, or any other such self-deception. Victory will take our all. And so that is what we will give it. I know I can count on every man and women to do what we must. I hope to see you here again in a few days, but for now lets get moving."

-Nikolai Cavlandros; the night before the Gibralter Uprisings

Welcome all, to my latest AC. Here you get to be freedom fighters against the tyranical empire which has ruled the world effectively unopposed for the last few hundred years. But don't worry, you arent the only ones! There's a whole bunch of different rebellions going on since the emperor was assassinated died tragically a few years back, so you wont suffer the fate of poor Bermuda Island in a hurry. (Protip: fighting the entire world alone is a bad move)

Now that I think about it, I should probably mention that this is set in a Soft-Sci-Fi Alternate Future, and that you sart in Gibralter. And yes, the place names are the same. Why? Why Not!

Basic Rules:

[Generic anti-troll rules with loopholes in them]
As GM, I reserve the right to do anything in the game, up to and including kick players out for breathing at the wrong time. So to be safe, try not breathing at all.

This is an Action Chatroom Game. Most of you whole will join probably know what that is, but for those who don't I will explain now. You will create a character, using the Character creation stuff below. You will then come on the Chatroom at certain times and play as that character in missions, in which you are, usually, given an objective and let loose to acomplish it. Other times I will fail to tell you what your goal, situation, ect are, and just chuck you in at the deep end and hope you either swim, or at least drown in an amusing way.

Character Creation:

Pretty much the standerd spiel; name and gender are the only real neccessities, but backstory, description and all that are apprieciated. You dont have to worry about traits/perks/abilities or anything, just spend your starting money on any of the good good good stuff in the upcoming lists! Dont worry about a language barrier this time either, that got standerdised centuries ago.

You start with 300$ 100$.

Equipment:

Headgear: You put it on your head. Needless to say you can only have one. But feel free to have none if you subscribe to certain philosophies.



Armour: You wear one set of this. It protects you. Probably. Hopefully. Possibly.



Primary Weapons: Now we get to the really fun stuff! Most of the time you can have 2 of these, except for a couple of the big 'uns.



Secondary Weapons: A sidearm is always handy. Particularly if you're too cheap to get anything bigger. You only get one though, no guns akimbo for you!



Grenades: EXPLOSIONS! You can only have 1 type of grenade at a time, and whilst buying them gets you an unlimited stock, you can only have 4 on any one mission.



Miscellanious: For when you need to do something other than kill people. You can have an unlimited number of these items in your pack.



You get a knife too. So feel free to go without any guns at all, you'll still have a 'weapon'...

(Originally I was gonna link to tropes all through those lists, but I gave up on that plan after finding 35 different links I could use. Shame I didn't give up a few hours earlier though. )

And now for Levels! Thats right, this game has a level system! But rather than traditional things such as extra HP, leveling up in this game TURNS YOU INTO A ROBOT!!! Okay, not really, but adding tech to your body is pretty much the advantage of half these levels. I know nobody is ever gonna reach level 10 before the game dies tragically, but if by some miracle we make it that far more levels will be added.



The Chatroom is Here.

Rule Addendum: Equipment can be sold for half it's base price, but this doesnt include the price of add-ons.

Warning: Team-Killing will lead to XP penalties. Repeated team-killing will lead to XP and monetary Penalties.
Addendum: Killing Allied NPCs counts as team-killing for this purpose.

[Anything I missed will be added here when I remember it.]

NPCs:

Nikolai Cavlandros, Rebel Leader

The Leader of the Gibralter Rebellion, Cavlandros is a tall man with black hair and brown eyes. He is the primary force involved in the planning of the rebellion, and serves as its charismatic public 'face'.

Captain B, Imperial Officer

'Captain B' was encountered during the assault on the Gibralter Garrison, and appears to be responsible for the survival of the rebels wounded there.

Nathaniel O.T. Crumpet, Rebel Sniper

Nathaniel is a rebel soldier of average height, with auburn hair and brown eyes. He was encountered in Malaga, fighting to defend the captured garrison and passing on the intelligence gathered from the databanks there. Nathaniel also took part in the destuction of the Malaga Monorail, during which he became quite attracted to Victoria Haulsee. He was also involved in the rescue of Polski and Blackspire.

L. Jenkins, Rebel Soldier

Jenkins is an over-enthusiastic rebel with green eyes and blonde hair. He was encountered in the fight at the Malaga Garrison, where his poor molotov-throwing skills almost burned the team alive. Twice.

Polski McPolish, Polish Spy

A polish rebel with blue eyes and brown hair, Polski has been acting as a spy for the FPA. His aquisition of Imperial Guard documents indicate he is likely very skilled.

You added that secondary weapon rule AFTER I posted my char

Fine, though. And I assumed people would infer that I actually had clothing automatically, since it's FREE.

From: Salt Lake City, America
Inventory: Clothing, Battlefield Medicine Pack, Military Grade Helmet w/ Visual Camo
Money: $0
Bio: Harry Young, much like most people born in Utah, was raised a Mormon. Since the evil empire started controlling the world, the Mormon church started to unofficially oppose the Empire, finding it to be an abomination to god. They also disliked all the cybernetic implants going around, as they claimed it was selling your soul.

Harry joined the Red Cross after he finished medical school. He was hoping that he could save those in need. However, he left the organization due to the ongoing debate about cybernetics. As he was in Africa at the time, he slowly went upwards to Europe, where he planned to take a plane back to Utah. Harry eventually made it to Gibraltar, and it just so happened to be on a very important day...

I forgot to put a few things in when I made the original post, sorry. And the clothing thing was supposed to be a joke.

Also, by my calculations you actually have 10$ left.

There's a mission right now, BTW

If people can be on in about 2 hours, I'm up for finishing yesterdays mission then.
DT

I might be there if you hold to 2 hours, or in other words 5PM EST.

Following the Mission, LH, Omega, Red, and Sniped all receive 250$ and 1000XP! I will write a write up sometime later. Write up is as follows:

Gibralter Uprisings: Day 1

The rebel group attacked the imperial cargo ship Red Star. The guards outside were killed in a firefight, and rebel forces entered the ship and split up. Harry Young cleared the Crew Quarters of minor resistance, whilst Moe Queshire launched an attack on the bridge. Having interrogated one of the guards, Fa Ping and Jonathan Hayes searched the cargo hold, uncovering classified crates bound for Imperial Guard Units somewhere in Italy.* Attempts to open these failed, and were later discovered to have activated an automated security system flooding the room with knockout gas, and causing the surviving guards to lockdown the engines. However, both rebels left before the gas affected them.

Whilst Fa Ping investigated the engines, the remaining rebels joined the attack on the bridge. Eventually all resistance was overcome, and the ship, along with its vital cargo, fell into rebel hands. Later, more successfull attempts would reveal that the special crates held only a number of unusual components, the purpose of which rebel investigators were unable to determine. Two prisoners were taken during this operation, the first was shot on the scene, and the second escaped during the bridge attack.

*This fact is of particular note, as Italy is far from the uprisings in both Poland and Ireland. Rebel leadership is unable to fathom why Guard units would be deployed to this area. The matter may be investigated further if it is deemed neccesary.
