[INTEREST CHECK] [QUEST] The Last Regret

[Die Shize 2,845]

Class C: Free inoculations are being handed out at the offices of the Civil Defense Force. There is a scientist that claims to know the truth behind these health initiatives. Escort her to the offices of the Public Defender news agency (note: quest ends with delivering the scientist and so should focus on challenges getting her there)

Quest Rules

Spoiler

Here, a quest is defined as any plot with a defined end and which incorporates the writing prompt, or "plot seed", from among the index in some manner. Whether the outcome is good or bad, what the exact problem is other than what's contained in the prompt, and how this is resolved are details all left up to the player unless otherwise specified. This makes quests very flexible and not strictly for the adventuring or combat oriented character. 

• PM supernal before undertaking a quest to check for and update availability
• Include a [quest] bracket in your thread title
• Threads should follow the canon process requirements  
• If a quest goes 30 days or more without a post, the quest will be considered idle and made available
  • If no one has claimed the quest during its availability period you are able to continue your quest from where you left off, just contact me
• Rewards include: canonization into the lore, player determined IC spoils, post-credits (see table below) to use in the Terran market, and your thread will be Featured Depending on the impact and rewards, if the quest is too easily accomplished your canonization may be denied or modified
  • Players should keep in mind that injury and even death aren't permanent in a magical setting like Valucre
• At the end of every quest, follow the Canonization Process. The Opportunities and Notable Consequences section are your chance to really explain to future players the significance of the events of the thread, and how they can interact with the event or its aftermath

If you pick up a quest and are by yourself at the start, you can use the Water Cooler to both players for your team and/or cast a net out for anyone that might want to GM. Class S quests require a third-party storyteller. 

• Class C (Easy): 1.25x post-credit value. 1 player (or more). 1+ page (16 posts or more).
• Class B (Medium): 1.5x post-credit value. 1 player (or more). 2+ page.
• Class A (Hard): 2x post-credit value. 1+ players. 3+ pages.
• Class S (Crazy): 3x post-credit value. 2+ players. 5+ pages.

Hey all, I've just been approved to undertake a Class C quest (above) for Last Chance, and I'm reaching out to 2 other roleplayers to help me with it.
Quest is titled "Last Regret" because "Last Chance" lol

Some bullet points on key features and amenities:

• 1-3 days before skippage
• Looking for characters who are mercenaries, in the military or, preferably, in the Civil Defense Force (CDF) of Last Chance (follow link to city page or read along little donkey)
• No character sheets required (doubleplusplus because if you don't already have a 'militant' char, like me, then you can make one up for this rp!)
• Although this quest only requires a minimum of 16 posts to complete it, I'm aiming to go at least a little over, especially if I get two pardners (more postage overall)
• If CDF, our characters can already know each other or be new faces. I'm game for either.
• I'll run our crew OOC and IC as a PC who is a lieutenant and likes TV, with 5 CDF members (3 will be NPCs, 2 will be PCs, keyword "will" so sign up darn it) or a mix of CDF members and outside contractors.
• Combat will be collaborative, so go gunho and watpoh and wangfo on das enemies as we will certainly face them in our heroic zinger of a journey
• Fun is a requirement and if you can't have fun then you can't have cookies and I'll likely stab myself in the eye with one of those inoculation needles

As bullet-pointed, I'm looking for Playable Characters of the militant capacity and preferably who are in the Civil Defense Force (CDF). From what I'm reading, though, this is a Last Chance guard unit, not a 'Terrenus proper' military force, so I don't believe that OOC signups or rankups are required.

10,000 person Civil Defense Force (CDF) - this force is very well equipped, trained by the military and assigned for five-year terms from bases from across Terrenus. Permanent assignments and ranks above 3rd are provided with enhanced training and equipment provided by the Civic Safety & Defense Academy (CSDA). Training often consists of enhanced crowd control, elementalism, with some specific members trained in unspecified psionics. 
—From the Last Chance lore page

Finally, I plan on expanding the quest's overall story into follow-up quests or simply follow-up roleplays that will continue the storyline to really see my plans through. So even sweeter if those who stick with me unto the end of this quest...stick with me unto the end of any next quest-rp-thing.

I LIED DANG IT this is the final part here's my char:

Lieutenant Hayden Jansuela

Dang... I don't want to be greedy but...  It would be good experience for Levi if Justice is in the habit of lending out its people.

They are! Or rather it’s something I can see justice getting involved in and helping out with / “consulting” (if you will). I don’t know about “lend” and it’s mercenary implications which I wouldn’t normally concern myself with clarifying but you’re a comms person so that’s what you get

I put your char in the OP with a char linkage Shize special

You will be in the role of reconnaissance.

You will give me ten rubber duckies for every shoelace that you can spot from 500 feet away blindfolded.

Or........something...

Excellent! I shall be watching... and waiting...

Excellent. The thread will move fairly quickly as long as Lilium, Ace and I can keep to the posting timeframe, and it shouldn’t exceed two pages.

Already have the bulk of the journey planned out, and also the next roleplay-quest or just roleplay.

SO you will be among first candidates I appeal to! 

I’d put yer John Hancock on this first roleplay, but given the basis IC/OOC I probably should limit to just three participants. Really excited that you have expressed interest though. That makes me want to dance on chocolate watermelons because chicolate watermelons YAYYYYYY!!

[danzilla3 2,763]

ARGH!

The wait will suck, but I will persist!
