Gunslinger Girls [[still accepting characters]]*

[Ima box]

The girl has a mechanical body. However, she is still an adolescent girl.
GUNSLINGER GIRL

Note: This is loosly based of the anime/manga. You don't need to know the series to roleplay here.
I'm also in need of a web site listing gun models/makes. Any help will be appreciated.

History
In the year 2000 A.D. the Italian government has started up a new social welfare agency to help disabled childred. Most of the children have suffered incurable wounds and injury's or were born with such things. This group takes them into their agency and outfit them with special protesis to help give them a lease on life.

Now at the same time their have been several reports of small girls not older than 15 killing known terrorists.

This is the darker side of this 'social welfare agency' is seen here. Section 2 of the Italian government has started a new program inwhich they find damaged girls- because they adapt the best to the pretesis and 'conditioning'- and equip them with prostesis's to fix their injury's and continue on to perfect them and make the perfect soldier. With the prostetics they are given they also have to go through a regime of brainwashing or conditioning. The downside to the process is that they forget all of their past, which most of the time isn't that bad, but they can become addicted to the medicine or suffer even more memory and brain damage. The midicine administered to them is the same they are given when they go through their 'conditioning' and it is also needed for when they go to get fixed or upgraded. It is also used to help the girls handlers give them better training.

The detials of these cyborg girls is difficult both in theory and process. The cyborg girls often become overly attachted to their handlers and their medicine causes them to have a strong sense of loyatly which can mimic the emotion 'love'. Handlers take care of their girls in many different ways, each with their own ideals of how they should be treated and how much meditacationg they recieve. This can cause problems both between the cyborgs and how they feel each other are being treated and how the Brother-Sister relation is affected also making the cyborg more loyal and willing to do anything for their handler or give them a sort of indifference feeling to them.

The main Italian faction that participates in terrorists activities are the Padania Republic Faction. This was said about them somewhere, the source unknown-

Quote:

The Padania Republic Faction (PRF) is a covert radical group dedicated to the independence of northern Italy, as well as the opposition of globalization in Italy. Named after a valley in northern Italy, the PRF engages in terrorist activities throughout Italy. This group is secretly supported by allies that are highly placed within the Italian society, such as government officials and businessmen, who discreetly provide the PRF with equipment, funds, and information. The PRF also has some influence with the local Italian police forces, resulting in the police overlooking some of the crimes of the PRF.

The girls are trained to take out people who take part in such horrid activities that the PRF takes part in, also thoughs of just random terrorists activies and lesser known terrorists groups. The girls could be said to be the best S.W.A.T. type group.

Contorversy has flaired up internally in Section 2 people arguing over the treatment of the girls. Some of the handlers choose lax reserved positions using minamal conditioning while others seem to depend on it. The fact that the girls are killing machines with little or no remorse the fact that they still remain about 20% living flesh and blood they still have feelings and a soul, they're really only little girls.

Because most girls come from accendents adapting to the prostetics can be difficult becasue of simply not being used to them. Some practice penmenship to gain greater control of hand and arm movements, while others learn to play the instruments inwhich their weapons hide in the very same cases.

SWA (Social Welfare Agency) has two sections to it. Section 1 handles the formalities and major paperwork and social apperiances while Section 2 takes care of killing the terrorists and has finally become the major attacking unit it was said to become.

Setting
This is set in modern Italy in the year 2000.

About half a kilometer (approximatly 1 1/2 mile) away from the city of Rome lies the Facilities of the Social Welfare Agency. Section 2 resides here with all the things that they could ever need- a hospital to take care of the girls, and lab to continue of developing the medicine and other things that the girls could ever need. A cyborg wearhouse also resided on the premisice, which is about 3 stories tall and has about 30 rooms. The cyborgs like to call this their dormatory and often they share rooms to keep each other company- Most of this building is still empty. They share showers and bathrooms on each floor, a bit like a highschool gym though the showers are more private.

The handlers, doctors, and scientists share a building that closly resembles the cyborg werehouse though it is only 2 stories tall and has about 20 rooms all of which are mostly filled though the top floor about half of the rooms are still empty. Their are two seperate shower/bathrooms for male and female doctors which the handlers share with them. They closly resemble the cyborgs bathrooms.

Section 1 resides in Rome in a actual government facility for Italian government.

Weapons
Mainly rifles and pistols, equiped with silencers and scopes. The girls are trained to take people out quick and simple and as clean as possible. The girls often can have a quick trigger finger if their handler is in trouble. But remember if your in knife range its to late to pull your gun out- thats when the cyborgs use their superior stenght to snap some necks.

Weapons are often carried concealed or in Armati instrument cases.

Check out the Gunslinger Girl link and in that page their are links to weapon models and things like that that will be used in the roleplay.

NPC

Their are several different characters in Section 2 that play a major minor role. These people will the be the roleplays NPCs. These people make a rare apperiance here and their but are not important enough to the roleplay to require someone to play them.

How To Play The NPCs
1: you can only make the person speak
2: you can only describe their major movements. The girls might be able to catch the twitches and small movements that they make.

Note: Most people who work for Section 2 are forgeiners who are the best in their fields.

Doctors
Sameul Fertnel- cerbale expert - He works hard at his job and likes what he does. He doesn't agree with somethings that go on around Section II, but he doesn't say anything about it and just goes along with his job.
Diana Bernhart- organ expert - She's light hearted and doesn't really care for the pressures of the real world. At parties she tends to drink too much.
Naitle Davins- overall expert - She can be air-headed at times and ignore things around her that she doesn't want to deal with. She also handles the non-cyborg children helping them get fitted with prostesis and takes pride in her work.

Scientists
Keinth Campbell- Artifical muscle expert - A goof kind of guy and likes to be everyone's friend
Jacob Reinth- Artifical bone structure expert - Straight laced and doesn't like big changes. He's not what you'd call the life of the party
Jenna Marths- Artifical fluid and organ/overall expert - She's somewhat pessimistic though seing the girls in action makes her love the job she's in.

Conditioning Doctors/Scientists
Mario Pietro- Head of Conditioning research and also administers it - He has a bit of a cold outlook on life, and doesn't care for the concerns the brothers might have, or the welfare of the girls.
Amalia Filomena- Administers the Conditioning to the girls and is Mario's assitant - She has a brighter outlook on life than Mario. She cares about the girls and the relationship they have with their handlers.

Weapons
Heather Edison- Rifle expert -
George Carlson- Pistol expert -
Faith Lonthers- overall gun/ammo expert -

Others
Jonathan McDawls- Part of the clean up crew/extra agent
Mary Lowels- Part of the Clean up Crew/extra agent
Randi Othros- Part of the clean up crew/extra agent

Head of Department 2
Thomas Paulson - He takes his job very seriously and does allow some lee-way with the brothers and sisters but trying to figure when you've crossed the line can be somewhat difficult with him at times. Leonard has unofficially become his replacement if he was ever to die or leave Section II. He tends to stay out of sight so finding him can be difficult sometimes.

"Don't worry you'll be fine," a reassuring voice said from the darkness of Maries pictureless dream.

"Ugh," Marie said quietly bolting up right. Feeling the wet tears around her eyes she sat up wiping them away. Her crisp clean creamy sheets were a mess now tangled all around her body. I wonder who that was in my dream, Marie thought to herself as she streatched and yawned.

Her artificial joints loosened as she streatched. Marie climbed down from the top bunk she slept on soundlessly. Shuffling across the room she grabbed her comb and a small mirror that sat atop of her dresser.

Leo got this for me when I got my hair cut the first time, Marie thought to herself randomly a smile coming to her face which gave her an eerie look for how empty of emotion her eyes were. Holding the mirror in her left hand Marie continued on to comb her short rich dark hair.

------

Leonard groaned leaning over to slap the sleep button on his alarm clock. Rubbing his eyes he yawned and forced himself to get up onto his feet in order to not fall alseep again. Running a hand through his messy hair he walked over to his large wardrobe pulling out a pair of black dress slacks and a slightly wrinkled white button up dress shirt.

I think were doing field training today, Leonard thought to himself as he adjusted the wife beater he was wearing along with navy blue wool sleeping pants. Walking out of his room we wandered into the bathroom that he shares with some of the other handlers and people who worked in Section 2. "Its great being the first one up," Leo said to himself tiredly as he took a shower and got ready for the activities that would be going on that day.  

[ieatwood]

Columbine's eyes fluttered open slowly, a flash of rich chocolate eyes in the dim light broken up by the venisian blinds, slashes of light across the bed. Her crisp white sheets were tangled around her legs, falling half off the bed. With a soft sigh, she pulled herself upright, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes. Yawning wide, flashing bright white teeth, she slid herself to the edge of the bed touching her feet down on the cold floor. Standing, she stretched her arms up over her head, her arms easily reaching upright; she leaned backwards, stretching out her back.

The room was small, big enough for a bed, a dresser, a small desk and enough room in the middle for Columbine to stretch her arms out wide easily. Moving over to the dresser, she pulled open the first drawer; mostly underwear and socks, changing into a white undershirt and simple white underwear and socks. Over that she pulled on a pair of black pants and a white mens button up. Buttoning the wrists tight, she finnished dressing and pushed her feet into her boots.

------->

Antony woke with a start, slamming his hand down on the buzzing alarm clock. He sat up, brushing a curly lock out of his face, sighing softly, rubbing his hand into his face. He lay on his stomach, his arms tangled around the pillow. Climbing out of bed, he pulled on a pair of black jeans from the floor, buttoning them up and grabbing his towel as he headed for the handler's washroom.

Padding down the hall in his barefeet, he stepped into the bathroom, the door shutting itself behind him. He heard someone using one of the showers and picked one of the others, laying his towel and pants on the small bench in the middle of the floor. He stepped into the shower, turning on the hot water, shaking his head as the water fell into his face.
 

[Ima box]

Marie finished brushing her hair to her satisfaction tucking a lock of it behind her left ear. Getting up again she walked back over to her dresser depositing the comb and mirror. Opening different drawers each one revealing more of her clothes she choose a pletted black skirt and a simple white blouse to go with it. Changing into her clothes for the day she also grabbed a pair of knee high black stockings and slipped her feet into suede shoes that most school issued for their uniforms.

A small little breath of air was released from her lips as she stood up and smiled a wide toothy grin. Lets go find Leonard now, Marie thought to herself as she left her room and headed for the dining area that was located in the building adjacent to her dormitory.

---

Leo spun around his wet hair nearly slapping his eyes as he heard one of the showers start. Washing up quickly he turned off the water a soft smile on his face as he relized that he had probably used up a greater deal of the hot water. Lucky were not in America with those stupid water heaters, Leonard thought to himself as he dryed his body and got dressed, otherwise it would really be good to be the first one up.

Buttoning the second to last button Leo opened up the door to the shower stall he was using and left dirty clothes in his arms and his towel sitting on his head. Pulling the door open that lead to the hallway he walked back down to his room where he put on white socks with his usual pair of black nikes on over them.

Putting his hands on his legs he pushed himself back up and wandered out of his room heading towards the mess hall, gaving one of the doctors a wave as he left the housing unit.  

[ieatwood]

Antony finnished up in the shower, brushing the excess water off of his skin before stepping out of the stall and grabbing his towel. Quickly, he dried himself off and pulled back on his boxers and pants, rubbing his towel into his unruly hair as he made his way barefoot back to his room. Stepping into his room, he quickly finnished getting dressed, pulling on a fitted black teeshirt under his white button up, socks and sneakers. He added a red tie, and was good to go. He ran his fingers through his unruly hair as he walked out of his room.

Heading straight out of the housing unit, he caught up with Leo, shortly after the other man reached the mess hall. He dug his hands into his pockets, his emerald eyes immedietly finding the breakfast menu; French toast, sausage, bacon, toast, fruit salad. He grinned, his stomach grumbling.

--------------->

Stepping out of her room, Columbine shut the door behind her softly. Heading down towards the mess hall, where she assumed Antony would be, she swung her arms freely as she walked. Brushing a hand across the inch or two of dark stubble on the top of her head, she sighed softly as she left the housing unit. Her chocolate brown eyes glinted in the morning sunlight, taking a moment, she turned her dark eyes up towards the sky. It was bright, and only a little cloudy, a perfect day. They'd be doing field training today, she thought.

With a soft kick, she continued on her way, her hands digging deep into her shirt pockets. She kicked open the mess hall door, seeing Antony and Leo standing before the counter, reading the menues.

Marie rushed down the stairs her face growing slightly red around her cheeks. How did Columbine manage to get over their before me, Marie gritted her teeth and slowed down to a neat little walk. Taking a deep breath in she exhaled slowly letting the artifical blood leave her cheeks.

"Its so pretty outside," She said happily a gentle smile coming across her face as she reached to door to the dining hall. The smile remained on her face as she walked over to Leo who was standing with Antony and Columbine.

"Hello Leo," Marie said happily giving him a smile, "Do you know what your going to get for breakfast?"

----------

"Hey Antony," Leo said scratching his head as he looked up at the breakfast menu. Ugh, Leo thought sticking his tounge out a little, nothing sounds all that great to eat today. Deciding on what he was going to get he heard the door open and saw Marie enter. Noticing Columbine standing next to Antony sent a shiver up Leo's spine. I didn't even notice her come in, Leonard thought giving Columbine a grin.

"Hmmm, oh hey Marie," Leonard siad messing up Maries perfectly combed hair, "I dunno what I'm gonna get yet. Probably just some bacon and fruit salad. I don't really like French toast they're too thick for me. What're you gonna get I'll grab it for you 'kay?" Leo said smiling down at Marie.

Alexi crouched on the rooftop, an eye to the sight of his rifle. In the cross hairs was a pretty blonde, the target. Someone had a grudge, because all he could find out from an database site was that she was an unknown civillian. But he didnt ask the questions. Not he, not when there was half a million US dollars residing in a swiss bank account - that was for one hit. He needed the money. A new rifle had cost him the earth, and he needed to restock up on paying for his access to the American satellites.
"No" he breathed, a plume of white smoke escaping his lips. During his internal monologue, the blonde had moved through the apartment and out of sight of the window. He stood and jumped across the roof gap. He kept moving, cursing his stupidity by not being focused. He caught sight of her, and knelt down, finger resting on the trigger. The blonde moved into focus, laughing at something the person was saying to her over the phone. Alexi breathed in and pulled the trigger. The recoil thumped into his shoulder, almost congratulatory about a perfect shot.
Then the horror started. The blonde was still walking to the window. She turned the corner from behind a wall and stared at the hole in the glass. Behind her was a shattered mirror. Alexi flattened himself to the roof, trying not to be seen. When he risked a glance above the parapet, he choked in horror. She had hung up and pointing in his direction, talking animatedly on the phone, obviously contacting the Italian police. He risked cover, and snapped the rifle into pieces, slamming them into his rucksack, then running across the roof to the fire escape. Police sirens blazed in the night air, and he paniced. Running across the road, he dodged traffic, hearing the angry blaze of horns at his presence. A couple of blocks along, he could hear the sirens getting dimmer. Turning right, he entered onto the Via Toledo and slowed to a walk, forcing his breathing to calm down.
"Mother of God" he yelled inside his head. He was a dead man - literally. He had to get back to his appartment, pack his laptop away and tidy his life away. Sucide seemed a good way to drop the identiy of Jack McGaskil, British student studing in Naples. He knew where he could stash his bags, to then collect them later. He turned the corner onto his street, having planned the way he was going to dissappear - from the police, and from the men who would be demanding their money back.  

[Ima box]

"No," Marie said curtly, "I'll get the food for you, plus I don't want you to drop it. You should talk to Mr. Antony and Columbine about our mission today. I heard there's been an increase in attacks."

Marie finished talking staring into Leonards wide grinning face like he had known she would say what she said. "You better get a good seat," she added teasingly which she only seemed to talk like this around Leo. Seeing the small nod Leo gave her she trotted off to a small one foot wide stainless steel countertop inwhich several trays were stacked at one end where the line was supposed to start if there had been enough people in the mess hall. Grabbing two trays Marie moved down the line grabbing all of Leonards food first before getting her own.

----------

Leo grinned widely as he listened to Marie before looking into her face trying hard not to laugh. Giving her a small nod relization on how this was one of the few moments of happiness his happy go lucky attitude seemed to evaporate away.

"I wish I could do more for her at times," he said frowning in a near monotone sort of voice, "Oh well, I had better fill you two into before Marie gets back and gets mad at me." Placing his hands on the back of his head Leo turned around and walked slowly over to the usual table he and Marie shared along with whoever else felt like sitting with them that day, which was usually Faith who at times seemed obsessed with making sure Marie had the correct amount of ammo and her armery was correct.
