Welcome, Whoever you are, to Virtua. These are, as you likely know, rather tense times. Rogue experts. Sentient Virii. Confusers spreading, well, confusion. Less than intelligent rogues. Well, actually, idiots in general aren't helping anything, but thats not what you are here about. You are here because of interest in our offer to you.

Spoiler:  OOC, basic stuff (click to show/hide)

As you can probably tell from the title and that stuff above, this is a game based in the future internet. or whatever it be called then. 4 people at most, you don't have to specifically be on one side of the war (Virtua Corp is kinda like Uplink Corp, in that the company is legally neutral, but but you may or may not be...)
You can start on a side if you feel like one side is awesome and don't want to start neutral, though you'll still start with the same equipment.

The 2+1 sides at the start:
The Rogues of Seugor. (everyone and anything not loyal to the Galactica Universalis. Home Base is a commandeered and renamed server planet and several other lookalike planets.)
The Loyalists. (obvious. More restricted but likely better funded. Home Base is in the ridiculously overprotected planet called Origin, which no one whose not a G.U. higher-up, inhabitant of, or well-informed rogue actually know still exists.)
Neutral.

Char Sheet:
Name:
Expertise(anything you want, though obviously tech-related things are more useful here):
Allegiance: <Insert here>, (or just remove this line to start neutral)
Bio:

Spoiler: Long Version OOC (click to show/hide)

All of the above stuff, plus more description

Gameplay-wise,you guys will be starting off with pretty much the same equipment, give or take some things to fit your character's specialty or needs (You can't run a sentient program on basic hardware, for example. it'd have to be good enough.) After that, you can either do whatever (within your power) you think will help something or take a mission from Virtua Corp. these are pretty much random, but if you're allied to one side obviously it'll bias the seletion a little so you don't get traitorous missions (unless you want one) Most missions will get you currency, which you can (legally) upgrade with. Of course, you can always try other means of upgrading, like taking over what you want, or 'borrowing' the funds required for the upgrade you want. Requisitioning what you want (if you find yourself in a position of relative power great enough within the Galactica Universalis to do so, or are respected enough on a RogueNet to ask for it without being laughed at) is also possible. Story-wise, its easier for me to explain while just playing the game.

Waiting List:
ggamer

[Phantom]

Bored, and I need to shave up on things.



Name: Avitus
Expertise: Re-writing and repairing tech. Otherwise, tactical things are in his zone.
Allegiance: Rouges of Seugor.
Bio: Anti-spyware/malware gone rogue. Apparently, he was a pretty old program , too. For example, Avitus was designed by a young hacker to defend himself from others while he worked on his own programs, and has picked up a large deal of knowledge after his creator let him free after he realized that Avitus was sentient. Also notable for spontaneously removing malware, virii, and many other things from the CPU's of individuals he deemed as worthy.

[Tarran]

A little more information on the gameplay and story would be appreciated. Anyway, sounds fun.

Name: Tarran
Expertise: Various software stuff.
Bio: Originally a supercomputer called Terra Net, Terra Net took the brunt force of several viruses, severely crippling it. Slowly, Terra Net fixed itself, but not before somehow gaining a worrying amount of sentience through corrupted backups. The owners of Terra Net tried to fix the computer, and when the found that Terra Net was sentient, they tried to wipe it. However, Terra Net was too fast and uploaded it's AI to a different computer and managed to save itself. It renamed itself Tarran to avoid suspicion.

Yay for AIs.

[Aklyon]

I could do that, i just thought I was squeezing too much into one spoiler.

[Dwarmin]

Name: Sky Captain
Expertise: Building and maintaining firewalls, anti-virus specialty
Allegiance: The Loyalists
Bio: Codename "Sky Captain" is a corporate gun for hire. Identity, or even if he or she is human, is kept under secrecy.

[Tarran]

I could do that, i just thought I was squeezing too much into one spoiler.

Hah, are you kidding? Trust me, you can squeeze a lot into a spoiler before you get complaints.

[Phantom]

Just jam it until the character limit, brother.

[Weirdsound]

Looks Fun:

Name: Blip
Expertise: Vehicle AI, Civil Engineering, Multimedia Production
Allegiance: Neutral
Bio: He is currently in charge of managing ariel and ground traffic on a large urbanized manufacturing planet. He got his start doing a low budget yet highly popular self broadcasted AI racing show.

[Aklyon]

Cool, four people already. and perfectly split, too. (not counting neutrals) Let me finish adding stuff the the first post and we'll start.

[Phantom]

So, uh, is Tarre- I mean Tarran neutral or something?

[Tarran]

So, uh, is Tarre- I mean Tarran neutral or something?

Yeah.

Allegiance: <Insert here>, (or just remove this line to start neutral)

[Phantom]

Oh, forgot that, Father Earth.

[Aklyon]

Added some stuff, Start being made.

[Aklyon]

From the President of Virtua Corp, I, Butlerion, bid welcome to you all, the choice to accept out offer was a very wise one.

Agent Blip, since you are already in charge of traffic on a large planet, I will assume you already have sufficient hardware to do what you wish. If you need a piece of software from us, go ahead and ask whenever, though you will not get it for free except in rare cases.

That goes for all of you, infact. If you do not wish to ask me, someone else, or We are busy, access the Agent Services machine, though you will not find much specialized equipment at this point. We may have to accept anything to fit with the fair employment rules, but that does not, I repeat, Does Not mean we immediately trust all new Agents. If you require a reason why this is, simply ask yourself why all of our competition ceased to exist very shortly after they started in highly public yet quickly hushed fashion, while we have persisted since before the current crisises began.

Sky Captain, do you require any additional hardware to begin, or are you also sufficiently equipped?

AI Tarran, I will assume you are operating on a sufficient set of hardware, though you are also welcome to ask for more suitable conditions if necessary.

Rogue VirtuaSentient Avitus, due to your age, I will assume you will not need any noticeable improvements to your current setup. The offer is still extended however, if only for the sake of the records being unable to say there was bias here at the start.

A note of caution before I give you access to the Agent Services and other low-level machines needed for agents: Virtua Corp is not responsible for anything you do, even if the mission came through us. If you are caught, consider your access already terminated, and do not mention us except as a job distributor.

Spoiler: Agent Services (click to show/hide)

Basic software for most anything. fairly cheap compared to public prices.

Spoiler: Mission Center (click to show/hide)

Nothing yet.

VT (Verified Trust) key required for further access.

Message End.

(So, what will you guys do first? You don't necessarily have to work together, though you can. you each start with $10000.)

[Phantom]

Hrm...
I shall go screw around with Sky Captain!
