Style: Espionage, Supernatural, Spy-Thriller
Story: There is a reason that you've never heard of us. Its because we don't exist, as far as you're concerned. We are invisible to the naked eye. Some people claim that they know who we are but all they can present is theories, no proof. We are the lost souls of the Earth, that protect it from the danger of forces that you once believed never existed. It's our job and for it, we have sacrificed our own lives. We were once normal people like you, but now we are nothing but shadows. Ghosts of our former selves. We can't live the lives that you so often take for granted. Because its our job to make sure you continue to live that life. Its the sacrifice we've made and we embrace it humbly. We have dedicated our lives to fighting a secret underground war against the forces of evil that are aided by the occult. How about you take a trip into our world.
Our legacy began in 1910, when the organization known as G.U.A.R.D.I.A.N.S.(Global Undercover Administration for Radical and Dangerous Individuals and Affairs of Necessary Secrecy) was secretly formed by the League of Nations. The GUARDIANS fought to keep the world safe from cults and organizations with more “firepower” than could be handled by an average espionage team. It wasn't until the team faced a critical failure in one of their missions, which resulted in several casualties, that the GUARDIANS was finally decommissioned, just before World War II.
Years after the war, the newly established United Nations found themselves in another predicament, forcing them to recommission the GUARDIANS with a brand new team to continue their efforts against supernaturally-aided forces. The team faced many roster changes over the years and by the early 2000's, a young former C.I.A. Agent named Adrian Graham joined the team.
In 2005, however, the team suffered another major attack that resulted in casualties but the mission that was being attempted succeeded. Unfortunately, one of the GUARDIANS turned against the team and became an enemy of the State. There was a debate at the U.N. about whether or not to decommission the team for good and over time, the entire team disbanded, which left the future of the GUARDIANS very grim.
In 2012, however, the former C.I.A. Agent, Adrian Graham, who was horrifically scarred in the betrayal of the GUARDIAN Operative, was eventually promoted to the rank of Colonel, giving him leeway to reform the GUARDIANS under his leadership. Approved by the U.N. 3 years later, Colonel Graham has proceeded to recruit the 3rd team of GUARDIANS that will dedicate their lives to fighting the supernatural forces invisible to the public eye.
We are a collection of government agents sent to go up against every dark force that plagues our great Earth. Its a classic story of David vs. Goliath. Our secretive tactics of taking down these evil forces has therefore, been dubbed by the U.N., Goliath Warfare. Are you ready to take down the giants?
-----------------------------------
Hello people. Goliath Warfare is the latest RPG by GPR/Onlyne Productions. In the game, you will be apart of an elite team of covert operatives that have left their lives behind in order to continue the battle against the occult forces that has been raging on for over 100 years. We will be facing countless enemies that have the potential to destroy all that we cherish in this world. With a collection of weapons at our disposal and the genius planning of Colonel Graham on our side, we have all that we need to bring these tyrants down. In the words of a wise man, Do what you're getting paid for. In this game, there is an element that allows the Operatives to record their thoughts on certain matters as they continue through their career, including their relationships with their fellow GUARDIANS and their thoughts on particular missions. Within each recorded journal, the Operatives will give a final farewell, on the off chance that they don't live to record the next journal. This is only a short interlude in your actual posts and will be explained in greater detail later, but the purpose of these journals is to document the activities of the GUARDIANS in order for it to be heard by future generations and effectively teach how to deal with enemies the way that the GUARDIANS did. It is also used to warn them not to repeat the mistakes made by the GUARDIANS that would lead to a failed mission. Its a learning process for everyone because no one knows what the future will hold. The only way that we can manage is by moving on and staying faithful to the only thing that counts in this world of espionage, violence, and war: the Mission.
This is the Discussion thread for Goliath Warfare. Ideas for the story will be posted here by me and GPR and you can contribute your own ideas as well.

GekiViper - When I first found out that your character was immortal, I was a little skeptical at first. But when I actually read your bio, it seems like it would be perfect for this group. It stands out from others being country and all and I think you would make a great pilot for the group. The only thing is that you have to be vulnerable in someway so I hope you know that. Maybe you could create a story arc for yourself where you come close to dying for good or something of that nature. Anyways your bio is really well done and you are definitely in.
I was actually shooting for Bluegrass from the SilverHawks, it's an older, late 70's cartoon. Anyhow..
The immortal thing, think of it like Captain Jack Harkness (Torchwood). Clayton is shot in the head. Right between the eyes. He dies on the spot, three days later, he wakes up, the wounds are healed.
If he is electrocuted, he dies, but 10 minutes later he wakes up again.
If a limb is removed, as long as the limb is placed against the limb it was severed from the limb will reattach itself. The same with his insides, like intestines, brains, eyeballs, that sort'a thing.
Apply the same physics to the situation that Wolverine deals with, if every living cell is gone, then Clayton is dead, for good.
But if say, a fingernail survives, in a few months that could grow back into Clayton's full form.
He does have a weakness, he can be killed in a nuclear fall out, microwaves, poison, bathed in acid until nothing's left but bones..

I'll have a bio ready sometime before the end of the day.
Onlyne

GekiViper - Okay that sounds really creative dude. I think it'll work fine in the RPG.
Chameleon Ranger - Sorry dude but I'm about to fill up the last roster. If something happens and one of our members has to drop out, I'll contact you ASAP to fill in their spot though. Thanx for the consideration though.

I am so excited that I made myself fill out a bio. I wanted to be in this game so bad. It looks so awesome and is set up awesomely. Thank you for letting me be apart of it. Although I am the only infantry trooper lol. That kinda stinks but who cares lol.
GoldPhoenixRanger
08-15-2009, 10:30 PM
Well, thing is there were 6 specialties and 7 slots so there was only going to be one duplicate and that is currently Covert. However I have no doubt you will do well as an Infantry Trooper! Welcome to the game!
All existing members are welcome to suggest storylines for their characters and you can use the villans listed in the CC is you choose or come up with original ones.

ok, I made the change. All the changes are in bold so you can see it right away.
GoldPhoenixRanger
08-16-2009, 12:47 AM
Ok, here's the thing Chameleon. The way the letter is supposed to work is that it is simply supposed to state that the author is impressed with your skills, and wants you to come to a large ship (the MS Valkeryie shown in the CC) for whatever reason you can come up with. None of us find out about the GUARDIANS organization until after we are on the ship. Just fix that up and your in!
Way to break the character limit with a great profile!

Question
08-16-2009, 01:10 AM
Hey, so, people playing chicks?
Yeah, Stone's probably going to try and get into your pants at some point.
It doesn't mean he has to succeed, mind you; just because he can charm most women doesn't mean you are necessarily in that category. Food for thought.
Also, Scarlet needs to come back at some point. I was going to have Stone's nemesis be Drew Ryan, actually, but I didn't know if a British spy could conceivably infiltrate an American government facility. Maybe Scarlet could be working for him or something?
Onlyne
08-16-2009, 01:22 AM
That sounds like it could work Question. I figured that Scarlet would come back and Timothy would have to get his revenge against him. You can take whatever liberties you would like as far as that character goes, just make sure you let us know about changes you might make and stuff.

Well, when one has motivation, great things can happen.
anyways thanks for giving a spot. It's great to be in another one of your RPGs.

I made the changes to my bio. Thanks for giving me the chance to do that. If there's anything else you need me to do let me know.
QueenPink
08-16-2009, 06:13 PM
I so can't wait to get this started. Do we know when that might be?
GoldPhoenixRanger
08-16-2009, 08:09 PM
That might be today, or so Onlyne tells me. As soon as he gets on the board tonight, the story thread should be open!

Saweet! lol I am so happy now.

kool, can't wait. I know i can expect great things from this RPG.

08-17-2009, 05:24 AM
Alright guys the game is now up guys.
[Game] Goliath Warfare - Otaku Hero Access
Your first posts should start out with you arriving at the docks to board the MS Valkyrie. You can have whatever fun you want before hand but ultimately, we'll all be meeting in the lounge. This is what it will look like.

If things go to plan, the very next post that we have to do is going to be something you won't forget. *laughs maniacly*
Chameleon_ranger
08-17-2009, 05:30 AM
quick question, do our characters get our powers afterwards? or do we start off with them already?
Onlyne
08-17-2009, 05:42 AM
Well we're supposed to have them already but if you want to get yours afterwords, you can. Since it wasn't explained in the bio, it looks like you should go that way.
Chameleon_ranger
08-17-2009, 05:56 AM
Ok, well since that'll be the case, Kaito won't be able to understand a single thing the others are saying since all he can speak and understand is Japanese.
We'll keep that going until he gets his ability.
And also, I was assuming that GUARDIANS would give us all our abilities, but I guess I missed that.
GoldPhoenixRanger
08-17-2009, 06:02 AM
No, if you look at the profiles you'll see that most of us already had our abillities before we joined Guardians. So if you want to say he already has his powers thats fine.
-GPR
Chameleon_ranger
08-17-2009, 06:07 AM
oh, well ok then. That'll be fine.
Onlyne
08-17-2009, 08:48 PM
Concerning your post Chameleon, we're not supposed to know about the GUARDIANS at all because its top secret. You're supposed to go on the ship, not knowing anything about whats going on. If you read my post, you'll see a clear example of what your mind state should be. If you meet anyone on the ship, they should be as clueless as you.
To QueenPink, same goes for your post. You should be heading onto the ship at this point and then make your way to the lounge somehow.

Oops, sorry about that. I'll have ti fixed up right away.

08-17-2009, 11:39 PM
Its okay man. I read your revised version and its much better. Good job.
BTW, I laughed at that blind comment lol.
Question
08-17-2009, 11:42 PM
I'm going to ask a stupid question now, just because that's how I roll.
We don't have our codenames yet, right?
Onlyne
08-17-2009, 11:52 PM
No not at the moment. The Colonel will assign them to us but if yours was a nickname before hand, he'll most likely assign that to you since you're already accustomed to it.
GekiViper
08-17-2009, 11:56 PM
Okay, just to get things straight in my head.
We show up on the boat..
Everyone we meet act clueless, or is clueless, whichever we prefer.. Correct?
We somehow find our way to the lounge, and await the others to arrive.. Correct?
Is that what we're supposed to do? Forgive me, I just don't want to get it wrong..
GoldPhoenixRanger
08-17-2009, 11:58 PM
That's correct Geki. Then the fun begins....*laughs manically*
-GPR
Onlyne
08-18-2009, 07:06 AM
Okay guys, once Geki makes his post, things are going to get a little interesting but I don't want you to involve yourselves in the festivities automatically. I want you to finish up whatever activity you were undergoing beforehand. Once you've wrapped that up, then you can dive into the pool with the rest of us, so to speak.
Onlyne
08-20-2009, 03:27 AM
I just needed to mention to you guys. The plasma television doesnt appear above the bar, it appears on a wall opposite the bar. It is a glass wall that lets you see out on the deck of the ship and stuff. Where they were, nobody could see the bartender shoot until they heard the cocking and the actual shot.
Chameleon_ranger
08-20-2009, 03:33 AM
oohh...well that definitely would make it more unexpected to know the bartender had a shotgun. But since people have already posted the events after the bartender shot a round, would it really matter now?
Question
08-20-2009, 03:41 AM
Even if the television was in the wrong place, we can just figure that people with our level of skill would have picked up on it fairly quickly. The three of us at the bar, for instance, probably would have recognized the sound of a cocking rifle that sounded right behind us.
But I'll try to pay better attention in the future. Sorry.
Onlyne
08-20-2009, 03:51 AM
Yeah its really not that big of a deal. I was just mentioning it because part of my next post was going to involve the glass wall and I wanted to make sure you guys knew where that was. But don't fret it guys, its nothing that caused great confusion or anything.
Question
08-21-2009, 10:15 PM
Hey, so...
Since everyone but Stone has a power of some sort, can he get one later somehow?
Onlyne
08-21-2009, 10:50 PM
Well not everyone has a power. My character just has an ailment and something to make up for it. But if you want one later, that would be cool. A suggestion from my end could be that you get bitten by a vampire or something. That's one of the easiest ways IMO, unless you want a chemical spill or experimentation or something within that nature.
GekiViper
08-21-2009, 10:57 PM
One of the villains captures Stone, after watching him since the beginning.. The villains operates on Stone, merging his DNA with _____ and _____ creating the ultimate predator. All in the name of reigning in humanity from completely destroying the planet.
It's up to our team to stop the villain, save Stone, the animals, and the other experiments within the villain's lab.
Sound.. Sexy? Hm? Just a little bit?
Question
08-21-2009, 11:02 PM
A little sexy, yes!
I was just thinking something simple, like, at some point, Stone steals a mystical artifact from Drew/Scarlet/Whoever that gives him a "spider-sense", danger sense, something like that. Nothing huge, just something so he isn't just a normal human.
Well not everyone has a power. My character just has an ailment and something to make up for it.
He picked up both my character's nationality and the fact that he recently had intercourse with a boat employee from across the room. I'd call that a bit more than making up for an ailment. :p
(Although, while I'm thinking of it... Stone's an accomplished spy. Is everyone going to be able to tell he's a bit of a womanizer upon meeting him for the first time? Because a spy should be able to hide that a little better...)
Chameleon_ranger
08-21-2009, 11:04 PM
My thoughts would be that he manifests his abilities at some point. Since most of our characters have, it shouldn't be impossible for Stone.

Hey everyone. Just wanted to give y'all a heads up that my posting is going to be limited until this weekend. I am moving back to college tomorrow and then have three days full of leadership training. So I will post when I can, but don't expect too much until Saturday.
GoldPhoenixRanger
08-25-2009, 01:50 AM
Understood BK! College comes first...we'll keep things maintained while your gone.

08-26-2009, 03:33 AM
Alright guys we're reaching the next chapter of the story and at this point, everyone has done excellent. Very good job guys. Just one thing though, so you don't accuse me of taking you guys too far and not letting you do certain things for yourselves. It'd be alot better if you guys would recap in your posts recent things that have happened involving you, instead of just diving into the situation as soon as it starts. Some of you have already done this, but this helps us analyze what your character thinks about the situation and what they are going through. For example, some of you went straight into the action as soon as the chaos insued, while others wrapped up what went on before it, then let their character react to the power outage and the message, THEN get into the action. That's the kind of recapping that I was referring to. It helps us get your character's perspective on the situation. Just a suggestion for you guys as we start the next part.
I want you guys to have one more post before we move on to react to the defeat of the final behemoth and their last seconds of conciousness before being subdued by the Colonel.

Hey guys, sorry for my lack of posting lately. School has been VERY hectic as of late. Hopefully, I will have time to put up a post sometime tomorrow or Wednesday.
GoldPhoenixRanger
09-08-2009, 03:52 AM
My post will be up by the end of the night. I have been busy with RPG staff stuff and so havent had the chance to post.

09-14-2009, 03:38 AM
I'm kinda worried about this rpg, can somebody post?
Onlyne
09-14-2009, 03:49 AM
I made my post and I'll get everyone going when I can. Don't worry Chameleon, I'm still very interested in this game and I won't let this one go down as easily as the others. In the meantime, you can go ahead and make a post in response to mine if you want.
GoldPhoenixRanger
09-14-2009, 04:34 AM
Yes, so far everyone is posting, just slowly. Butterfly Kisses is the only one who's a bit behind. Now we're in the new section of the game so everyone can post again.
-GPR
QueenPink
09-14-2009, 09:54 PM
Okay I'm sorry guys. I have been meaning to post. I am in school and working now so It's going to be slow. But I am going to be making a post real soon I promise. I'm sorry again.
Onlyne
09-17-2009, 12:39 AM
Here's an update guys. I'm afraid Butterfly_Kisses was forced to drop from the game due to scheduling conflicts. In the meantime, I will be controlling her character until I'm able to open up the spot for another character if possible. In the meantime, I need you guys to start posting because the game's not dying just yet. If you'd like to drop out as well, let me know, but don't just let the game die because then there's nothing I can do about it and you'll ruin it for everyone else.
Onlyne
09-20-2009, 08:51 PM
Sorry to double post, but I'm afraid we've lost another member, GekiViper. We will be going through the same routine with his character once things get started again. If anyone else is thinking of leaving, let me know now so I can proceed to get your part recasted later. If not, someone needs to get us started again.
Question
09-26-2009, 04:21 PM
We still in this, guys?
