@Ghaz: While it's a cool idea and I would love to run it sometime, I don't think there will be any supernatural elements in this game. I do have a soft spot for supernatural secret agencies, so, err, very nice app regardless.

[Ghazkull]

Ok...then I'll change it

[Dragor23]

Name: Robert Graufreund
Gender: male
Character Type: Dagger Op
Description:Robert is a merciless pursuer of the goals of a mission. Oppurtunistic, uninterested about the lifes of the personnel and human life, then only rule he has is "Get the job done without wasting too much resources". Feelings like compassion or loyality are alien for him. He is only working with people if it benefits the mission.
 His look is strict, with a stern face with hard contures and short trimmed hair, which has a light red tint. He is beardless, with a round chin and a small nose, his body build is average and slender.
Background: Robert comes from the german minority of Namibia, in one of the few pure german communities there. He grew up as a perfectly normal boy, until he was introduced into the SWAPO, the south west african guerilla army, dreaming of independence from south africa. Avid members and a malleable mind made him into a ruthless fighter for the ideals of SWAPO... Until they won and formed Namibia. Now his efficient and ghastly operations were not needed anymore, so he was secretly dispelled from the new country. Wandering aimlessly, he had no goal, no organization to fight for... Until he found the Taskforce #11... The rogue organization appealed him, so he joined.

Robert is quite adapted in sabotage the enemy, disguise, stealth, decryption/encryption and as well in demolition.  He is in his element when his mission is to sabotage and to eavesdrop the enemies unobtrusively.

Spoiler: Doppleganger, Dagger Op. (click to show/hide)

Name: Unknown, Codename Doppleganger.
Gender: Male?
Character Type: Dagger Op.
Description: Who the hell knows?! Any attempt to create a basic profile of Doppleganger have failed outright. The current revision is of a man who stands six feet even, is roughly 200 lbs, and has close cropped sandy blonde hair. His eyes are always covered and his speech is perfectly without trace of accent, in no less than 6 languages.

Background. As for his arrival, he was simply there one day. One day there was just another person in the base roster, and he was sitting at an unused desk, doing research and making contacts. Attempts to remove him by force have failed, as he always finds a way back into the base. Usually with a new, perfectly valid ID. In time the rest of the Agency learned to just accept this strange boon, and began to work with him. Doppleganger has been instrumental in infiltration missions. If the Agency doesn't even know who he is, what hope do the villains have of finding him out?
Doppleganger also cheerfully attends any and all training opportunities, and frequently uses his own funds for personal training. Once when he was asked about it, he said the Body is the only weapon required.

So, this is a master infiltrator, with reasonable hacking. Possibly some other skills in simple breaking and entering.

..I was gonna make a Hammer app too..

Spoiler: OVERSEER CLEARANCE REQUIRED (click to show/hide)

CLEARANCE APPROVED. WELCOME <REDACTED>. CURRENTLY VIEWING: AGENT DOSSIER 2.1
Name: Mikail Bisharid
Gender: Male
Character Type: Dagger Operative
Description: Mikail is commonly described as "average-looking". He is around 1.7m tall and is neither lanky or muscled. His hair is worn short and he maintains a short, narrow beard. His eyes are naturally brown, but he often wears several different coloured contacts for reasons of secrecy. He has a deep gash on his left thigh from a previous assignment. Personality-wise, this operative is reserved and quiet. However, that does not at all mean that he is unfriendly or cold; that would be the farthest from the truth. Mikail, while quiet and needing time to know a person to even appear friendly, will happily help strangers and try to complete objectives in the least-fatal ways possible.
Background: Mikail was one of the '9030er's', a slang term within the Taskforce who had gotten into the taskforce without several years worth of experience in other intelligence services. He had been rushed through the selection process by the UAE, due to Mikail's status as a noble, and so that the UAE had some kind of representation in the Taskforce. Mikail was not at all willing to even be part of the group, wanting to focus on his botany. His father, a very hard man to disagree with, forced him to join the group and learn the skills neccessary. This often meant several hours of sparring and learning the art of intelligence, which he found quite boring. Mikail was left to work on menial jobs such as small-time administration, data organisation and editing reports for grammatical mistakes. The higher-ups didn't expect someone like him to be worth much. The working with other cultures also gave the young noble quite a bit of culture shock as well, which took years to extinguish.

 In 1975, Mikail came upon something that didn't look exactly right. He found that funding that was supposed to be used in Operation Desert Bear (which the young Mikail knew little about) was being redirected to several small islands on the fringes of Alaska. Curious, he followed up on it. He eventually found that this embezzlement of funds had been happening since last year, and for reasons that were not explained in any document he looked through. His boss and co-workers found it interesting but assured him that it wasn't any of his business. Even being told that, Mikail resumed his search. Using connections in the UAE, he found that several cargo vessels docking in the Persian Gulf had been carrying large amounts of plutonium and through several swtiches between several modes of transport, had been transported to the Alaskan coast. The threat dawned on him: someone or something was building a nuclear silo right in between the world superpowers. It would be 1962 all over again, but worse. What left Mikail perplexed was why were members of the Taskforce supporting another incident that could lead to WWIII? It was something insane and against the whole purpose of the Taskforce. Mikail decided to alert the Director directly, in case anyone else along the chain-of-command was in on the plan. The Director was surprised and shocked at the accusations, especially by the vast amount of snooping through files Mikail had done. The Director immediately sent agents to shutdown whoever was behind the plutonium shipping, as well as disable US and USSR surveillance in the area while NAM soldiers eliminated any forces on site. For his quick-thinking, Mikail was promoted and given command of a segment of the intelligence network in the Middle East. He soon found himself coming to appreciate his job and learning new skills. His new position meant that he now had the responsiblity of maintaining a spy network throughout the Arabian Peninsula, a daunting task, but Mikail soon loved it as much as he loved his botany. Of course, then Operation Desert Bear happened, and as he was actively working in the Middle East, soon found himself among the most disgraced of the Taskforce. The man, seeing his purpose in life gone, decided to go into a life of small-time botany. It was a farcry from controlling and managing a spy network, and he was always reminded of his shame every day

When his old contacts hinted that the Taskforce was back in action, the botanist quickly opened up channels with the Taskforce and soon enough once again became an operative. He is extremely dedicated to the Taskforce and has already done a re-organisation of Taskforce assets, contacts and funding.

Sheet for later. And yes DH, all of my characters in your games WILL have Turkish backgrounds!

[Digital Hellhound]

So, your character from Hammer of the Emperor also had distant, distant Turkish ancestry? Interesting.

We have a lot of support for your Taskforce (and some for changing the name) but I'll wait till tomorrow before I'll put the suggestions together (into a poll, maybe?).

Voting for Taskforce 11

Spoiler: Sledge, Hammer Operative (click to show/hide)

Name: Laura Williams
Gender: Female
Character Type: Hammer Operative
Description: A Stocky, heavy set woman whose height reaches about 190cms. Her skin is of a light tone, accenuating her black hair well. Laura is known amongst the other members of the taskforce as being particularly gung-ho in her tactics, preferring to kick down a door and gun down a foe rather than avoid confrontation.
Background: Laura was a former australian SAS officer before joining the taskforce (Most information prior to her joinng the SAS is lost or hidden, and the SAS operations are still classified.) Laura's tactics imply that her specialties lie in assault tactics and heavy weapons, although she's capable of wielding just about any weapon capably, and can acquit herself admirably with her driving skills.

[Riccto]

Welp. Taskforce 11 seems to be winning out.

Spoiler: El Cid, Hammer Operative (click to show/hide)

Name: Alfonso Adafuns
Gender: Male
Character Type: Hammer
Description: A strong sinewy man who stands solidly at 6'1. His skin is well tanned from years in the sun with matching dark hair. His notable facial feature are his brightly colored hazel eyes drawn from his moorish blood. A surprisingly friendly man at first encounter it would be suprising the juxposition between this persona and the nom de guerra that he adopts on the field, drawing a connection to "The Lord of War". He makes light in the face of death and levity has carried him up and over the flames of war to where he is today.

Background: Born in the south of Spain to a wealthy family Alfonso has always had adventure in his veins. As a younger man he tried his hand at boxing, savate and many other martial arts, He enjoyed them greatly and proved to be a very successful fighter, easily able to go pro to the world stage but that simply wasnt enough for him. He then he went to various other adventure sports but that simply wasnt enough. So he up and went and joined the French Foreign Legion where he had a real blast. Most fun he ever had, especially in a combat zone, tromping over mountains and working as a guerrilla element. When he was discharged for wandering off into the mountains with his squad as they hunted and traded blows with warlords in the area. But this was the springboard into his career. Without the fetters of the chain of command Alfonso was free to trot the world, serving on occasion as the driving spear of developing world warlords and on more than one occasion tearing them down. But its not all fun and no think. Alfonso had also picked up some soldiery, a deep understanding of the business he has decided to ply his trade in and all the wheelings and dealings of the underworld. More than once he has served as simply a teacher to a backwoods militia that could scrounge up his fee. Other times he trained the oppressive palace guard of a despot.  All throughout his career he has realized, that there must be power shifting, he make's sure the power never lies stagnate or else he would soon find himself out of work.

[micelus]

Yep, Taskforce 11 is the Agency of this game. Guess I better start finishing my character....who needs a lot of editing after I noticed that my character is somewhat similar to others.

[Digital Hellhound]

Taskforce #11 wins, indeed. If you have not yet posted your character app but intend to, now's the time. If you need to change your backstory to fit this Agency, that's also now.

From the submitted characters, Alex Graves, Mikail Seljunid, Laura Williams and Alfonso Adafuns all come from NATO countries, and Graves and Williams have even served in elite teams of their nations. I can see Taskforce #11 recruiting solely based on ideology (balance of power yeah!) nowadays, but, looking this over, none of our characters with submitted backgrounds actually come from Non-Aligned Movement member nations.

It's not that bad, just weird, buuuuut... I would like Delta Team Graves and SAS Williams (and others, but especially them) to look at their backgrounds and give a motivation for quitting their native militaries and joining an organization aimed to keep the balance of power at all costs.

[micelus]

Fine, fine, I'll change the grand tradition of Turks only in DH games.

[Digital Hellhound]

That's not reeeeeeeeally necessary. He has no background yet and the Agency could be recruiting from all over the world nowadays (though probably not that many Americans, to be honest. They are the only real superpower left, I mean).

[Dragor23]

Namibia!

[micelus]

Nah, I have an idea here.

[Dragor23]

Well, I'm not from the NATO.
