Greetings, superspy.

Intel has gathered evidence that international supervillain, Mr. Evil, is planning to win Global Presidency and rule the world. This cannot come to pass. Mr. Evil is guilty of many crimes, including but not limited to: Destruction of the Moon, Extinction of Bunnies, and Removing the Color Blue from the human spectrum. Only his vast network of contacts has saved him from justice.

But if we allow him to become Global President, he is free to turn the world into his personal sandbox, and all the good and right humanity has stood and strived for will be for nothing.

A crack-team of five superspies, the best the world has ever seen, will be launched deep into the fray. First mission is to destroy Mr. Evil's chemical factories in the Amazon Rainforest.

If you accept this highly-dangerous mission, fill out your form below. Message will self-destruct in ten (10) seconds.


Form:

Codename:
Gender:
Disguise: (Your appearance)
Gadgets: (Pick three from below)
Talent: (One thing you do extremely well. ie, hacking, sharpshooting or sweet-talking)

Armory:

'Shadow X' shades (tactical relay and threat detector.)
'Shadow X' hairdo (functional helmet and radio, but much more stylish.)
'Shadow X' suit (bulletproof, stylish, and formfitting.)
'Icarus' rocket-shoes (allows temporary flight and hovering for 15 minutes.)
'Daedalus' jetpack (allows hour-long flight; overt and exposed.)

'Shadow X' handgun (comes with configurable ammo.)
'Quill' pen (taser, syringe, and laser.)
'Chronos' watch (EMP emitter, with built-in GPS and contains nano-tracking devices.)
'Rainy-Day 2.0' umbrella (even better than tank plating: force field projector!)

'Pointdexter' laptop (access to every system in the world, excluding the Service server and Mr. Evil's Evilcorp.)
'Forget-a-face' makeup kit (3D printer that creates realistic faces, with a databank of more than 80% of humanity's faces.)
'Lucky-day' coin (flip a coin to get another Absurdity point. On a heads, you gain a point. Tails, you lose a point. You must have at least one point to flip the coin.)

'Shadow XI' (experimental nanotech allows your shadow to be controlled by the user's brain, connecting eyes and ears to allow the spy be somewhere he isn't supposed to be; Shadow XI can also manipulate things slightly. Counts as taking two gadgets.)

Not first-come, first-served. I'll pick spies to create a balanced team who's gadgets and talents would work well. You should discuss with other players about what role you want to take. Spy deaths will be common, so hopefully the waitlist won't have a long waiting time.

Aside from basic d6 RTD mechanics, there are two more things: Absurdity points is the first, and allows a spy to do something incredible and fantastic, well beyond even their limits. Hitting a bulls-eye from five hundred meters away, with a pistol. Making a deus-ex-machina deduction and correctly get the password. And such. You start a mission with three.

The second thing is the double-agent. Someone in the team, randomly chosen, is working for Mr. Evil. His or her job is to reveal themselves in the most timely way possible; not too early, else the impact isn't as strong; not too late, or the spies will have achieved their objective. When the double-agent succeeds, he gets to make a new character with a special, tailor made gadget just for him. If he fails, he gets put on the waitlist like other dead spies.

Example play:

Spoiler: Admiral Admirable's underwater base, Titanic (click to show/hide)

Mr. 1: We've made it to the Admiral's headquarters. I kick down the door.
Mr. GM: Rolled 5. Door kicked down with a smash. Three pirates ready their hand-cannons. The Admiral is getting on his sub.
Mr. 2: I splash water into their cannons!
Mr. GM: *impressed with logical reasoning* The water renders their gunpowder, and their cannons, useless. They surrender quickly.
Ms. 4: Hit him with my pen laser! Use absurdity point!
Mr. GM: The laser hits the hatch of the submarine at just the right spot, and water begins gushing into the HQ. The Admiral is sent flying by the water.
1,2 and 4: Put on our diving gear. Arrest him.
Mr. GM: You do so, preparing to cuff him and bring him in. Just before you do, a man in a diving suit appears from behind you. He reveals himself. It's Mr. 3...
Mr. 1: Y-you were the double-agent!
Mr. 3: Excellent deduction, but I'm afraid you're too late! Grab the Admiral and get into my escape craft.
Ms. 4: Oh no!

Mr. GM: Well done. The base is sunk, the files destroyed, and the cloned megalodon drowned. Mr. 3 and Admiral Admirable got away though. Good job nonetheless. Mr. Evil's plot to flood the world and have his pet shark eat them has been foiled!

How does the rainy day umbrella even work?

Just cause it's resistant to missiles doesn't mean the person behind it is. The force, heat wraparound, and concussive force should kill anyone nearby.

[Cheesecake]

It's a really big umbrella. And it's shock absorbent. And has an air-conditioner on the inside to counteract the heat.

[~Neri]

Unless it completely encloses the person, it's not plausible.

Air conditioning would do jack shit. It's a lot harder to cool something then it is to heat something. Cold is the absence of heat.

Shock resistant does not mean concussion resistant. It isn't a Perfectly Stationary Pole. It's gonna move. And it's gonna hit the agent. And it's gonna shred the agent.

Personally I recommend just having it project a forcefield. Since that's actually plausible within the laws of thermodynamics. We actually have a few forcefields irl being designed to deflect mircometeor impacts.

[Cheesecake]

Alright then. I mean, it's not like implausible gadgets and stunts aren't part of the game or anything. Umbrella will be changed.

Don't listen to Kevak. You're running a game where the moon's been blown up and blue doesn't exist. Don't bother with realistic gadgets.

Operation: Boa

• Infiltrate hidden jungle-complex.
• Destroy and disrupt chem factories.
• Steal files from chem lab.
• Apprehend the notorious Anna Conda.

You have been deployed straight into the Amazon rainforest, having posed as biologists studying the flora and fauna, giving the perfect excuse to traverse the entirety of the area under the pretense of looking for new species, meanwhile locating Anna Conda's jungle complex: the Snake Den.

Your Shadow X items have been remodeled to take on the attire of exploring biologists, though Thruster still lacks sleeves. All weaponry and gadgets were concealed in the raft.

Fourteen days of fruitless searching and eternal bug bites has proven successful; you have located the Snake Den. The entrance is hidden behind a waterfall. How one would scale the slippery stone-face of the fall is unknown to you. The entrance, as scans would indicate, is exactly at the middle of the hundred feet fall. Trees surround the fall from all directions.

There seem to be no patrols in the area. Henchmen seem to stay in the complex, as you have not seen anyone come out nor in. Only wild animals such as leopards and pumas are rife here.

Operation: B.iologically-manipulated O.perative A.nna start.

[Execute/Dumbo.exe]

((Question, what how does the Nano-Tracking device work? Can I shoot it out or do I have to plant it on someone up close and personal?))
"Deary me, how will we get up there?"
She starts to stare at the end of the waterfall.
"There must be some way people can enter easily."
If the umbrella can take a tank shell, it should be able to hold up under a waterfall, first try seeing if it can keep up against the waterfall by slowly pushing it into the waterfall, if it can hold up, crouch down holding the umbrella so that the handle is touching the ground if I can't hold it up under the strain and crouch walk through.

((Up-close. More or less melee range.))
