SCB: Skill Control Bureau​

The world has changed, four hundred years after a huge event that changed the earth people have adapted to a new way of life and a new world. People with powers, monsters with special abilities and the like, magic and things that would’ve been thought impossible in the past are now part of everyday life and the same applies to the people who go around this world and the adventures it offers.


Skill Users are people with special abilities following three dogmas. Life Energy, which connects people to the world and living beings around them, this allows them to use the energy of the world for their gain. PSI, which gives people full control of the power of their mind along with the abilities it can offer and finally Magic, that relies on magical energy in order to create even the impossible.


These people are an important part of this world and have influenced it in many ways; a lot of them in turn have created groups known as Bounty Hunter Guilds which go around the world on different missions.


These aren’t those people.


In the West Continent there is a special government division founded under the guise of public protection against criminal Skill Users. These group of people are known as the SCB or Skill Control Bureau, composed of both normal humans and skill users and fitted with special government issued weapons called Triggers to counter other Skill Users.


You will be playing as an aspiring new member of this division.


***


Welcome to SCB, a spin off RP of my currently running RP Bounty Hunters: Brand New Journey. Now, no knowledge from that RP is necessary in order to join this one aside from a few basic stuff that I will be explaining.


First of all, this RP takes place in the future after our world has been changed, continents have combined and moved and new cities have been created and now there are even monsters and monster/human hybrids in the world too.


But the biggest thing that stands out is that a part of the world’s population was blessed with Skills. Skills are special abilities that a person can be born with and essentially gives them superpowers.

Spoiler

Skills are divided into three factions:


Life Energy: Allows people to control the energy of the world and living things around them and relies on more physical abilities


PSI: Uses the power of the mind to allow people to use abilities such as telekinesis, teleportation and such.


Magic: Uses magical energy to cast different types of spells or even summon magical beings.


Every Skill User has one Skill and an ability that comes with it, like how a user can have the skill of PSI and the ability to use telekinesis or others. There are some abilities that come inherent with a specific skill as well.


As a member of the SCB your characters will be taking on missions to deal with skill related crimes and will receive a special weapon called a Trigger. Triggers have been made with different functions, each suited to what its user wants with the purpose of giving its users a chance to fight on even footing with Skill Users.

RULES:

Spoiler

1. BMGf rules always apply.
2. No godmodding of any kind; this includes auto-hitting.
3. If you choose to have a character with special abilities please make sure that it doesn’t clash with the abilities of other characters.
4. If your sign-up is blatantly horrible, you will be rejected. Otherwise, you will simply be asked to edit it.
5. The GM's word is law, and the Moderator's law is even higher. If one of these two tell you to do something, please don't make a fuss.
6. For this RP it'll be require for characters to be at least 18 years old.

Name: Jonathan “Jon” Aguilar

Gender: Male

Age: 28


Appearance: Jonathan stands at 6’3 in height with short black hair, brown eyes and dark skin. Jonathan has broad shoulders with a defined large build thanks to his years of training. He also usually wears a cross on a necklace around his neck and has multiple scars across his body from past scuffles.


Personality: Jon is quiet and mindful, usually preferring to keep to himself and survey things before making his opinion. He’s very calculative though and pays attention to anything going on around him, this matching well with his sense of responsibility and duty to accomplish whatever he sets his mind to. He can come off as cold to others though and he does put the good of his goals above anything else, sometimes even forgetting about others or even himself.


Backstory: to be revealed in the RP


Trigger: Jon’s Trigger takes the form of a black pulse pistol, the pistol comes with different modes from stunning to outright killing a subject in the most extreme cases. He also wears a secondary support trigger that takes the form of shoe soles which can slide through any surface at great speeds.


Talents: Jon is both a boxer and muay thai fighter, having trained from a young age, this has allowed his body to gain a lot of endurance and reach a high physical level. He’s a good cook from having to learn to fend for himself and he also has developed himself as an artist and photographer.

[Prez]

Name: Yasmin Beautel

Spoiler

Gender: Female

Age: 37

Appearance: Standing at 5'5", Yasmin has tanned skin, long brown hair (normally tied into a half ponytail), and dark brown eyes. She tends to wear makeup in order to accent her sharp features. She's fairly fit from her years in the SCB, and her appearance clearly shows that. She normally wears light clothing that she can move in, but during every day activities, she tends to dress nice. Such as wearing slacks, fashionable jackets, etc.

Personality: Yasmin is incredibly friendly. As leader, she takes all new members under her wing, and makes sure to treat them on an equal level. She is also stern, however, and leads her division with an iron fist.

Backstory: Yasmin grew up with two older sisters; one passed away at a young age, and the other she doesn't talk to anymore. She joined the SCB when she was 18, and takes great pride in her skills and ability.

Skill: Life Energy

Abilities: Electron Manipulation (with a concentration in electricity)

Talents: Good with electronic hardware. Also trained in self defense.

Other: [taps plays]

Name: Dante Choi

Spoiler

Gender: Male

Age: 28

Appearance: Dante stands at 5'8", with short, styled hair and dark brown eyes; he is somewhat tan. Also, it is worth noting that Dante is viewed as incredibly handsome. He normally wears form fitting t-shirts and basic cargo pants. On colder days, he tends to dress more formal. He is fit from working out and fighting.

Personality: Dante is fairly reserved, but he has great confidence in his abilities and skills. There's a lot to him if you do more than scrape the surface.

Backstory: To be announced.

Trigger: Gauntlets that can change shape and size. They can also fire small projectiles, such as bullets. They cover both short and long range attacks.

Talents: An expert in various fighting techniques, especially close range; the gauntlets also give him an edge there.

Other: He's a good singer, surprisingly.

 

[Hector]

Name: Amber Winchester

Gender: Female

Age: 44


Appearance:

Amber possesses the blonde hair and blue eyes that are passed throughout her family. She has an elegance about her, with high cheekbones, a thin frame and a bright cheerful smile that never seems to leave her face. Amber dresses like a socialite when she's at HQ or off the job, but when she's out in the field she wears thin white body armor.

Personality: Amber is kind, earnest and generous. She believes in the best of everyone and will do whatever she can to protect life.

Backstory: Amber grew up as an orphan, her older brother taking care of her as best he could. She went to medical school, becoming a doctor in her 20s. As she aged, her brother was one of the principal scientists that invented the triggers, and her path was clear. She works most of the time as the primary medic for the SCB, but she also finds herself in the field once in awhile.

Skill: PSI

Abilities:

While Amber's PSI is capable of horrendous things offensively (illusions, mindwarping, mind destruction, implanting fake memories), she refuses to give into the darkness. Instead she focuses on helping others through using it as healing energy and to create strong psychic barriers to shield her fellow agents.

Talents:

Besides her job as the lead medical officer for the SCB, she is also a skilled card player. Incredibly well educated, she holds a number of doctorate degrees besides medical in electrical engineering and mathematics. She and her brother have built a number of gadgets to help her treat wounded agents in the field.

Other: Beep boop.

[Yun]

Name: Sombra
Gender: Female
Age: 38

Appearance
Light armor and a mask - those are Sombra's typical clothing. When people see her, it's often during sufficient downtime or when she's not working. Her mask is a decorated, almost cartoonish skull. One the field, she wears a tattered cloak.

Underneath, she's a 5'6" woman with long, jet black hair typically tied back in a ponytail when on downtime.

Personality
You would expect a shadowy hacker to be somber, quiet and completely detached from the world. Well, that's only half-correct. During work, she's far more like the archetype - never speaking until things are done, wanting silence and the ability to concentrate.

No, Sombra's true personality is far more open and, by most accounts, goofy. She smiles often, plays pranks, participates in parties, gets the food for the group, does hair, and just all around doesn't care much for the bleakness of the world. No, she isn't ignorant - far from it. She just knows how to manage herself.

Work hard, play harder, after all.

Backstory
To be revealed. Sp00ky secrets.

Skill: PSI

Abilities: Her skill lies in an intrinsic ability to psychically analyze any system and understand its intricacies, given enough variables and correlating factors within a given complex assessment.

Essentially, she's a nerd who can tell how things tick with extreme ease.

Talents
A near omnidisciplinary engineer - software and hardware: she's dipped her fingers into nearly everything. As per the necessary militant training, Sombra has a lot of skill with weaponry. Of course, there are better hand to hand fighters, but she's no slouch.

[Alolan Ninetales]

Name: Leah Bedingfield
Age: 83 (but looks to be 28 years of age)
Sex: Female
Appearance:

Spoiler

Personality: Leah is rather friendly and talkative when you first meet her. She isn't one to fully open up about her past, and she puts up many emotional walls if you try to get close to her. If there's anything she doesn't want you to know, she won't tell you. She won't hesitate to get aggressive if you try and push it anyways. If that is the case, she'll just become cold and push herself away. She tries not to let people get the best of her, and she won't let you see her cry. Sometimes when she is annoyed, she can come off as a jerk or rude. She doesn't have the best temper out there, and gets frustrated easily.

Skill: PSI

Abilities: Her ability is one of the mind. She can use telepathy to read minds, or manipulate thoughts. However, her mind reading is limited as not everyone allows her access to do so. She can also use telepathy to speak by only using her mind. It also expands into her communicating through emotions, but she won't use that unless it is absolutely necessary. She also is a vampire, so she gains most advantages of heightened senses, faster speed, and stronger than a regular human. She does have her weaknesses in silver, being out in sunlight drains her vampiric powers greatly, being without blood can send her into a frenzy (losing control of herself, and unable to tell friend or foe), stakes, decapitation (would obviously kill her),

Talents: She is a good person to talk to if you want your secrets kept. She is a decent writer, at least in her mind. She was taught to sing, as her sisters were. It isn't exactly a talent, but she can make an amazing cup of coffee.

Other: She is also the youngest of the Bedingfield sisters; her older siblings being Rose and Kari. She lives alone in an apartment with her 3 year old Siberian Husky named Nutmeg.

[Taengoo]

Name: Sendou

Gender: Female

Age: 19


Appearance: Sendou is of a lithe stature; her build is lean and wiry. She stands at a diminutive 4'08", but don't let her height fool you - she's more than capable of subduing combatants twice her size. She has dark black hair that she tends to keep short, with her bangs shoulder-length, various clips keeping it out of her eyes. Her eyes are a dilute teal color with an intricate ring of markings in place of pupils. Her eyes glow a much brighter shade of teal when she's using her Skill.

As for clothing, she wears a dark gray muscle shirt, overlapped by a slate-colored leather bolero jacket outfitted with several compartments for ammo, faded olive green cargo pants, and combat boots. She also wears a scarf that she usually uses to hide the lower half of her face. She is more often than not seen with a sniper rifle of some variety slung over her back.


Personality: Sendou is known for her sharp wit and almost pragmatic way of thinking; to say she's cynical would be a bit of an understatement. She's notably tough-skinned, and has an unshakable poker face. Because of this, Sendou is often seen as lacking the emotions that would make one truly "human". She also notably has an extreme lack of the ability to care about many things, such as what others think of her, or whether or not somethings considered "taboo" or "wrong". She may or may not have an extremely warped moral compass. Contrary to popular belief, however, she does have a sense of humor.

Backstory: Considering the Bureau doesn't even have records of Sendou ever having a last name, it's safe to say most know practically next to nothing about her.


Skill: PSI

Abilities: Sendou has vision that exceeds the realm of human possibility. From just a glance, she is able to see each individual hair on someone's skin from a distance of more than 1000 kilometers. Up close, she can see particles and other things that one wouldn't be able to see without the help of a microscope. She can also gauge seeming impossible distances with her enhanced sight.

However, her eyes are also extremely sensitive to light; the flash from a camera can make her nauseous at a moment's notice - the more sudden or powerful a change in lighting is, the effects on her can be extremely devastating.


Talents: As the token sniper of the group, her skills with sniper rifles are unmatched. Provided her cover doesn't get blown, she is perfectly capable of making formidable opponents drop like flies. As per military training, she is well-versed in self defense on the substantial level, and is by no means helpless if ambushed in a sniper's nest.

Other: A decent cook in most aspects. Her homemade curry is killer. Happens to be a closet gamer in her off-time.

Never touch her wide collection of sniper rifles if you want to live.

[Lone_Garurumon]

Name: Elliot Jax

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Appearance: Elliot's got a fairly muscular build, nothing extreme, but you could tell he can fight by looking at him. He's a couple of inches taller than average. He's got somewhat long blonde hair, roughly down to the middle of his ears-ish. He tends to wear cargo pants and a t-shirt. He generally wears a blue pair of sneakers, but he has been seen to wear others at times.

Personality: Elliot is a fairly social guy, he's happy to have a casual chat with someone, and likes to get to know people. He tends to be slow to actually call anyone a "friend" though. Once he truly considers someone a friend however, he becomes firmly protective of them, perfectly willing to place his own life on the line to protect them. He's is capable of being a bit arrogant sometimes.

Backstory: Elliot had a fairly normal life up until he reached 16, when his parents were murdered by a Skill User. He never knew who the attacker was, they seemed to have some sort of speed Skill that stopped him from getting a good look at them. He was able to beat them off with his own Skill, but not before he lost his parents. He'd heard that there was a government division dedicated to hunting down these sorts of rogue Skill Users, and dedicated himself to being able to join them in the hopes of finding whomever killed his parents and getting revenge.

Skill: Life Energy

Abilities: Elliot can channel ambient energy and focus it within himself. He can then release the energy as he wishes over time, be it to empower physical strikes or a sort of blast attack. The energy he releases in this way manifests as a sort of flaming aura. He can't just generate this energy from nowhere - that would defy physics - he needs to take the ambient energy from his surroundings. If he exhausts that, then he's pulling from his own reserves, and if he were to pull too much from his own energy, it could kill him. He is able to take energy from someone else, but only if they let him. He also runs the risk of killing someone who's letting him use their energy like he would if he was pulling from his own.

Talents: He's a proficient martial artist, having taken several classes due to being his primary system of combat. He's also a great swimmer.

Other: He's a fan of various anime, particularly Dragonball. Heck it's where he gets half of his attacks from. The scary thing is it works! He can't do anything planet busting like Frieza, but he's pulled off more than one Kame-Hame-Ha in his life.

[Naoto]

Name: Senri Flourite

Gender: Male

Age: 18


Appearance: Senri stands at 5,8 and weighs 140 lbs. He's fairly slender but slightly toned in terms of muscle. He has softer features, and can easily be described as a pretty boy. He has chin length messy white hair, and pale blue eyes. He typically wears White long sleeved shirt with a pair of cargo shorts and brown leather loafers.


Personality: Senri is a fairly free spirited individual who comes across as slightly naive to the workings of the world. He's polite and kind hearted, and fiercely loyal. He doesn't like violence, and only uses force as a last resort. He can be a bit of an idealist, and tries to understand both sides of an argument before making a decision on what to believe in. Despite his kind hearted nature, god help you if you hurt his friends. This is one of the things that will anger him in an instant.


Backstory: Will be revealed in the RP.

Skill: Magic

Few mages have an innate talent for White Magic, and even fewer on the level Senri is at. White Magic comes relatively to Senri, and he's rather skilled at it. This essentially allows Senri to cast spells to heal his allies, barriers to shield people, and even some offensive spells that are holy in nature. However, Senri has some limitations. Senri's healing isn't very effective on internal injuries or the dead. Depending on the severity of the wound, Senri will have to focus more on healing his ally then the actual battle at hand. His barriers, while durable, can be shattered if they sustain too much force or if Senri exerts too much mana to keep it up. Senri's offensive abilies mainly consist of holy like spells, such as conjuring orbs and beams of light to attack enemies. However, Senri's physical abilities are fairly standard for a human, and in a close range fight, he is more then likely to lose.

Talents: Because of his home situation, Senri's actually really good at cooking and housework.

Other: N/A
