Not even overused and unfunny internet memes are enough to portray how much madness is going to take place in this RP.

Premise & Gameplay

The idea is simple: The saints have lost control of stilwater yet again, and this time, it's going to take more then one badass motherfucker to kick the new gangs out and put our purple wearing heroes back on the streets. This time, the few remaining saints will have to really work together, with everybody pulling an equal load, if they ever want a chance to be the top dogs in the city again.

The gangs

The Arbiters of Death: These guys get most of their recruits from the Stilwater insane asylum. If they see something that amuses them, they don't hesitate to act out on it, causing widespread devastation and destruction to rival gangs for no other reason then because they thought it would be funny. They are led by Abram Keller, a man rumored to have been kicked out of a nightclub because of his beard... That nightclub would later be caught in a very unfortunate and violent explosion, killing everybody inside.

The Shepherds: This gang came over from Italy to get a slice of American soil when they saw it up for grabs. Though they seem professional and businesslike on the surface, in the undergrounds, they are ruthless killers, who don't hesitate to step on anybody who stands between them and their money. They are led by Luigi Bonipi, who stole the gang from his brother at gunpoint after spending too much time in the shadows, not getting his fair share of recognition.

The Shadow Lions: A mysterious gang that seems to operate off vigilante justice. Of the three gangs that currently own Stilwater, the Shadow Lions are the ones that have the least information exposed about them. Their leader, motives, and actions remain a complete mystery to anybody on the outside.

As you can likely imagine, the premise is really only something to go in the background in order to give your characters an excuse to run around with rocket launchers, blasting apart city districts in order to cause collateral damage for money. The entire purpose of Saint's Row is to do one thing, and one thing only: have fun, and have a lot of it. Do you want to drive around on an ATV, racing through the city while you're on fire? We can accommodate. Do you want to just run through the missions with a cast of colorful and memorable characters, chronicling the resurrection of everybody's favorite street gang? We can accommodate. However, we (and by we I mean me) do highly suggest that you maintain a healthy balance of both activities and missions. After all, having too much of one without the other spoils either the fun of watching the plot unfold, or the fun of being able to cut loose and just blast shit apart for a little while. Both of these are critical pieces of the puzzle that makes Saint's Row as fun and memorable as it is, and I want the RP to encapsulate that as much as possible.

So, here's a little bit of a breakdown on how both game modes are going to operate. Keep in mind that if your character is in the middle of a mission, s/he cannot perform an activity until after it's been completed.

Missions: Whenever you feel that it's time to take the fight to an opposing gang, all you got to do is get into contact with the point man that's leading the attack on that particular gang (there will be one for each gang, all controlled by me). From there, you will receive a time and place to meet the point man, and they will put together a plan of attack, something that would cause harm to the gang in question. However, keep in mind that if it's been too long since a move has been made, one of the lieutenants can contact you, in order to get things going again. When missions involve more then just the lieutenant and one other player, they will act on a rotational basis, with each poster posting once before waiting for his/her turn in the cycle again. However, if one person starts taking too long to reply (24 hours after the last reply), his/her turn will be skipped, and I will account for their actions... if this is the case, you can fully expect your character to grab hold of the idiot ball, as a pseudo punishment for taking too long, as well as a way to keep things spicy, and other players thinking on their feet to react to a situation that just got worse.

Activities: Simple enough. I am going to provide a list of possible activities, as well as a little bit of a backstory for each one, as well as the objective of the activity. Your job, as the one performing it, is to write a story about how your character goes about completing the objective. The more creative, entertaining, off the wall, and effective, your story is at doing what I ask you to do, the better rewards you can get. For instance, you can get more money, with which you can buy better guns, or if you do a good enough job, just like in the games, you can get all new badass weapons, and unlimited ammo to go right along with it. Don't ask what the logic behind your character actually having unlimited ammo for his handgun is, this is Saint's Row, bitch! Activities will include, but are not limited to, the following few examples. If any of you have an idea for an activity, please don't hesitate to let me know.
-Snatch
-Destruction Derby
-Trail Blazing
-Mayhem
-Fuzz
-Hit & Run (original minigame, requires 2 players, one to drive the ATV, one to sit on the back with the rocket launcher)

Characters

An RP is only as good as it's characters, so I'm going to lay down some ground rules to ensure that we get some of the best characters that the world has ever seen. So, starting with the top, I'm going to lay out a character sheet, and tell you exactly what I expect from all of you in each category. Every player is allowed a maximum of 6 characters.

Name: (Derp)
Gender: (Double Derp)
Age: (Derp to the third degree)
Sexual orientation: (Derp cubed)
Height & Weight: (Every Derp needs a #5)

Appearance: (to save ourselves monumental ass pain, just stick to written description unless you have a screenshot of your character on hand)

History: (What is it that inspired your character to join the Saint's? Where did they come from? Where did they grow up? What's their story before the story?)

Personality: (doesn't need to be ultra in depth, just a little blurb about your character's personality)

Skills: (Anything from the list below, pick 3, no more, no less. This will impact how your character is used in missions, as well as what activities they'll be best at. One of the biggest things I have to ask of my players is that you guys stick to your skills. If you're playing as a stealth oriented character, I don't ever, ever, want to see him having a Rambo moment, it ruins the fun for everybody. If you want a commando, make another character who, you know is a commando. Having you guys play to your strengths and avoid your weaknesses keeps you all on your toes, and writing solutions to problems both creative to write and fun to read for the rest of us. Also, here's a big thing: skills can be rewards for completing activities multiple times over)
- Strong Arming (You can handle melee weapons more skillfully, and deal more damage with them, then a normal guy)
- Bullet Spraying (You can handle automatic weapons more skillfully then a normal guy. IE: machine guns and SMGs)
- Sharp Shooting (You can handle Semi-automatic weapons more skillfully then a normal guy. IE: Sniper Rifles, shotguns, handguns)
- Chaos Starting (You can handle heavy weapons and explosives more skillfully then a normal guy/ IE: Gatling Guns, flamethrowers, C4, and rocket launchers)
- Bullet Biting (You can take more damage then a normal guy. What? You're pulling out the logic argument again? I repeat myself, this is Saint's Row, bitch! If you get shot, just go get yourself some fast food and get back in the fight!)
- Sprinting (You can run faster then a normal guy, and longer, too)
- Sneaking (you can sneak better then a normal guy, able to slip behind enemy lines and sabotage things
- Driving (you can drive cars more skillfully then a normal guy, it'll come in handy more often then you'd think)
- Heavy Thinking (You can plan out strategies and adapt to bad situations better then a normal guy)
- Supply Packing (You can carry more supplies and gear then a normal guy)

Equipment: (the weapons and items that your character starts with. Obviously, you're not going to start out with very much, since it would totally ruin the point of going through the activities to get better stuff if everybody already starts out with the best stuff. As such, I'm allowing everybody to start out with 2 pieces of food (4 if you have Supply Packing as a skill), a knive (unless you chose Strong Arming as a skill, at which point you can choose between a baseball bat and a crowbar), and a firearm that specializes in a skill you chose (the lowest possible weapon of the tier). If you have no gun skills, you start with a Vice 9, the weakest handgun in the Saint's Row universe. If you don't know what kinds of weapons you can choose from, refer to this page for a comprehensive list of every gun featured in the RP.)

Vehicle: (again, nobody's starting with flashy sport's cars or fine tuned racecars. Pick a ride from this page and stick with it until you do something to unlock a better vehicle.)

FAQs

Q: Is this RP going to be freeform? Or System based?
A: Freeform. I know I just asked you to pick out 3 skills for your character, but this is to ensure that you rely on your teammates to cover for what you can't do, and helps to make the writing more spicy. Besides, it gives me more rewards to dish out for activities, and everybody likes rewards, right?

Q: Activities and Missions are nice and all, but I'll still be able to cut loose and do what I want to do outside of those, right?
A: Absolutely! If you want to write seven paragraphs about how your character sat on the couch all day and watched TV, more power to you. Saint's Row is a game where nothing is scripted, and anything can happen, so go ahead and write out whatever you feel that you want to.

Q: Help! The guy I've been posting with hasn't replied in 3 weeks!
A: Setting aside the fact that you didn't actually asked a question, just finish up the scene yourself and dip out.

Q: Is it cool if I send my 500 pound sumo wrestler character out streaking?
A: nothing is scripted for a reason, if you feel like doing that, then go on out there and traumatize you some pedestrians.

Q: Why does this question exist?
A: Because my OCD wouldn't allow for me to have a Q&A list of only four questions.

In Summary

First off, if you read through all that and you're still here, you're a badass.

We're all here for one reason, to have a tun of fun! Rest assured that if you put a little bit of time, effort, and responsibility into your character and into this RP, you will get a payoff beyond your wildest dreams. So, what do you say? Are you ready to get your hands dirty and watch the madness unfold? If so, express your interest and submit your characters today. There is no roof to how many players we can accept, so please, don't feel that we'll ever be too full for newcomers.

Holy...GAWD...I think I love you. COLOR ME INTERESTED! Maybe. I find myself just a smidge intimidated by the amount of posts you've made, which in my humble mind dubs thee Master Awesome. 

Let alone the majorness of the game concept....

Is it ok if I just raise my hand from the back of the class for now, and watch and see what sorta characters pop up, to see if I'm worthy?

Revenent

Name: Simon Bain
Gender: Male
Age: 31
Sexual orientation: Heterosexual
Height & Weight: 6'1", Over

Appearance: Dressed smartly in a dark blue matching set of sweatshirt and sweatpants, with red stripes on the arms and legs for that added flair, Simon is most recognized for his quite ironic choice of mime make-up on his face, with a black triangle above and below each of his eyes pointing away from them, as well as a small black rectangle at the middle of his bottom lip. Probably an ICP fan. His hair is died crimson red and tied back into a ponytail, and his figure suggests he packs quite a punch, if only because of the added momentum of his obesity. He appears to be of Asian descent, yet speaks with a distinctly British accent.

History: Simon was a problem child from the moment he spoke his first word ("fuck") and forced his parents to travel through quite a few different cities in order to find a school system that would accept such a delinquent, crime-driven child. Los Angeles, Detroit, Chicago, none of them would handle him for more than a few months. They tried to take him to a nicer area to see if it settled him down, but not even Bel Air could make this young man into an acceptable human being. Finally, Simon's parents decided there was only one place where their uncontrollable son would fit in, the last place they ever wanted to live: Stillwater.

Thankfully, once they arrived and enrolled Simon in his seventeenth school district, the boy seemed right at home and even became slightly more of a contained issue back at home, if only because the cops around there didn't even seem to flinch at the kinds of crimes a bunch of young teens could commit. Simon grew to love Stillwater and cemented it as his one and true home as he "matured" into "adulthood," and it didn't take him long to decide that he wanted to fulfill his lifelong dream right there in the city: form his own gang and make the city that much more miserable!

Of course, people who lived in Stillwater knew what kind of man Simon was and were at least smart enough not to join in anything that had him in the lead, so his plans quickly fell through. So began the process of Simon getting kicked around even more gangs than he had been schools, either because he shot the wrong person, or because he shot the right person but was wearing the wrong color when he did, or because he screwed the gang lord's girlfriend, or because he mistook the gang lord's girlfriend's chihuahua for a rat and stomped its ass. Now he's with the Saints, because they were next down on the list.

Personality: Loud, crude, offensive, confrontational, mean-spirited, all of which he would describe as passion. To be fair, he would never be the type of guy to betray his own gang, and he's actually extremely reliable for getting a job done as long as you check to make sure he's sober when you give it to him. Very sensitive about his weight.

Skills: Strong Arming
Heavy Thinking (Not so good at on-the-spot decision-making, but he can lay down a nice plan. It's just that during part that usually leads to him doing something stupid.)
Supply Packing

Equipment: -Wooden baseball bat.
-2 Strange Egg Rolls.
-2 Gin N' Juices.

Vehicle: Knoxville, painted black

Mmm!   I have never played the game before but a lot of the skills reminds me of a long time gone by!  I'll be just like Bubby and sit in the back of the class for now.
Can you capture this fiery Angel and make her yours?!  Try before she slips away into the night... If you wish.

Holy shit! Now this brightens my day. I played the first and second. And I have the third one fully preordered. So without the need to actually state it. I love you and I'm interested lol. So without further ado here comes a profile!

Name: Michael Mcknight
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Sexual Orientation: Heterosexual
Height and Weight: Five foot elven, 140 pounds.

Appearence: Michael wears stylish eyeglasses, straight black hair with a tanned complexion. His eyes are a light blue making him stand out. Despite his weight he is toned, but decaying. At times he looks pale due to a serious illness.

Hisotry: At the age of 10 his parents died in a car accident, automatically making him a orphen. Sending him through multiple foster homes. At the age of 17 he applied for his own custody. Ever since he has been on his own making a living doing odd jobs. Eventually he ran into a few thugs in the alleyway. Being held up at gun point he decided to make a stand, ripping the gun from the mans hand and with three bullets the men were down. Bleeding upon the cold night alleyway. Standing over the men he had a wicked grin, the taste of blood excited him. The feeling of fight or flight over took him, he was a killer.
From the age of 17 til now he had become a killer for hire, just recently joining up with the saints prior to the fall. However something else plagues young michael, an illness. Tuburcious an illness that causes you to cough up blood repeatedly until it eventually bedriddens you and kills the host.

Personality: He is quiet and reserved half the time, however when riled up he can become a complete asshole. Thus making it apparent why he joined the saints in the first place, he felt at home with these men. They valued his skills highly, he is loyal to them. He can be a flirt at times aswell.


Skills:
Sharp Shooting
Strong arming
Sneaking

Equipment:
AR-40
Knife

Vech: Anchor van for those sneaky type of missions

I think she's asking if she can use a real-life picture or something to that effect.

Also, for the benefit of those of us who have played very little of Saints Row, or even none at all, could you put at least very brief descriptions next to those Activity names so we can know what the heck they are?

Carlissa

Never played Saints Row before, but I've always fancied the series for it's insanity. Color me interested.

May take a while for me to set up a profile, though...

I am very interested. I have yet to play Saint's Row 2, but with any luck that will change soon.

I will be making a character shortly.
Experiments 68469, 68470, and 68472 were perfect successes.
I am Experiment 68471, the catastrophic failure!

I have horribly unreliable Internet. If I am on and suddenly am not, that is the most likely reason. Sorry! :D

SargentToughie

Alright, awesome sauce. I'll kick up an OOC and a character sheet thread tomorrow, with the IC to start on Friday.

Still open to any and all, don't hesitate to speak up.

I shall not disappoint,

Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide

assuming this is set a little after the events of the second game? I just want to make sure what to make of Aisha's death and maybe the disappearance of the "protagonist" which will put Gat on a crusade to find him and fuck shit up in the process.

SargentToughie

*Shh!* Spoilers! Some people here haven't played the second one yet!

But yes, to answer your question, it takes place after SR2

Awesome, will work up a sheet within a day or so...might end up playing saints row 2 now since it was just a bad ass game!

Can't wait for the third one.

Aiden

The disappearance of the "protagonist" does not actually happen, It was something I want to use in this setting to make Gat come out and be a little more active for my sake.

Demon- Keep him a LT? Or just a "veteran"- I don't know if you want to keep all the Lt's NPCs

SargentToughie

Actually, if you want to make a few OCs, we can have Johnny come back guns a blazing in one of the earlier missions, once the Saints already have a chain of command established.

Yeah, so, I'm going to have to back out. Just a smidge intimidated, don't think I can live up to the obvious awesomeness of this concept.

Revenent

If we're including canon characters, should I be thinking it's wise to go and finish the game now in case there are references to its plot? Or does it not really matter since it's not the most story-driven game ever? I doubt I'll have enough time to finish it by Friday or whenever Demo gets the IC up, anyway, and my main focuses right now are Deus Ex and Crysis 2.

SargentToughie

We won't be referring to the plot, like you pointed out, this RP won't exactly be story driven.

@bubby: sad to see you go. If you change your mind, I'm sure all of us would be more then happy to help you get up to speed.

(WIP)

Name: Vincent M. Varia
Gender: Male
Age: 28
Sexual orientation: Straight
Height & Weight: 5'11 175lbs

Appearance: Medium length hair he tends to over saturate in hair products, fit and muscled body. (Picture enclosed)

History: Some kids want to be firemen and cowboys at a young age, Vincent always wanted to be a gangster. Growing up in the poor streets of Stillwater, the kid grew up street smart and tough. At age thirteen he was hot wiring cars and selling them to chop shops, by age twenty-three he operated his own shop while holding off a legitimate enough face to run off as a "credible" business a few blocks away from the Saint's Base of Operations.

When not in his shop, Vincent can be found burning rubber and winning pink slips but street racing has its double edge and he had lost a car or five over the past few years. Loyal to the gang to the end, Vincent hooks up anyone with what he can leaving his books barely black but knows that all he does is for the Saints and no one can take that from him.

Vincent does not participate in "thug" activity, he does not consider himself a street solider but in times of need he is more then willing to camp on a building for a week if needed to take out anyone the higher ups make a hit on. It is obvious Vincent wants to move up in the gang and is not shy to admit it.

Personality: Calm, collected and efficient



Skills:
- Sharp Shooting (You can handle Semi-automatic weapons more skillfully then a normal guy. IE: Sniper Rifles, shotguns, handguns)
- Driving (you can drive cars more skillfully then a normal guy, it'll come in handy more often then you'd think)
- Heavy Thinking (You can plan out strategies and adapt to bad situations better then a normal guy)


Equipment:

"Big Swallow" and "The Fist" (Soda and Burger)
Knife
K6 Krukov


Vehicle:
Stock Raycaster Vincent acquired after losing his last car in an incident that involved a late night street race involving two angry hookers and the Stillwater PD.

Ex68471

Name: Jason Butcher

Gender: Male

Age: 26

Sexual orientation: Bi-Curious

Height & Weight: 5' 11", 230 lbs

Appearance: Short blonde hair, green eyes, muscular build. Burn scar on his left arm, scar on his left cheek and crossing the bridge of his nose. Normally wearing black tennis shoes, black jeans, black tshirt with a sarcastic saying in white letters, and a purple hoodie.

History: Jason's dad was a mechanic and his brother was a boxer with a drinking problem. His father taught him everything there was to know about fixing up cars, while his brother taught him everything there was to know about taking a hit. Despite his brother constantly beating him up, they loved each other and their dad.

They started up a garage with money won from betting on boxing matches. Unfortunately, the local gangs were having a bit of a spat, and barely a year after it was opened for business, it was burned down. Jason's father perished in the blaze, and Jason walked away with a scar on his left arm.

His brother did some investigating and found that it was the fault of the Aribiters of Death and the Shepherds that their father had died. So his brother began tracking down the other gangs of Stilwater, the Saints and the Shadow Lions.

Finding that the Saints lacked any real influence or power, his brother turned to the Shadow Lions. He joined up, and after a few months he brought Jason to one of the meetings. When they arrived, the Shadow Lions turned on them, gunning them down. Jason once again escaped, this time with a bullet grazing his cheek and nose, but his brother died.

His heart brimming with rage at the gangs who took everything from him, Jason turned to the Saints, who welcomed him with open arms, recognizing that his anger could be put to good use.

Personality: Only at peace when working on cars. His prize possession is his Bootlegger, which was next on his dad's list of pet projects. He will do anything to keep this car, and is eager to juice it up. When out and about, is generally a friendly kind of guy, until it comes to rival gang members. He is willing to start a fight over anything, and is fiercely loyal to the Saints.

Skills: Strong Arming
Bullet Biting
Driving

Equipment: 2 "The Fist" burgers,  a crowbar, and a Vice 9

Vehicle: Stock Bootlegger, painted black

Age: 22
Sexual orientation: Bi
Height & Weight: 5ft 2in, 115lbs

Appearance:


History: Mona grew up in Saints Row during the final days of the gang war between the Saints, Brotherhood, Sons, and Ronin. The constant conflicts left her neighborhood ruined - especially the fighting between The Brotherhood and the Saints. Then after all the fighting was over, Ultor came in and started knocking down houses. The 'revitalization project' didn't last long, thanks to the Boss. With the gangs knocked out and Ultor more or less pacified, the Saints were primed and ready to take over the city. Again. But when you scatter cockroaches some always come back the second the lights go back off. Three new gangs appeared. This time, Mona was determined to not let those freaks run roughshod over her home so she joined up with the Saints in hopes of ending these conflicts quickly.

Personality: Quick to crack a joke and smile. A tad lazy, but almost always friendly and outgoing. While she doesn't like crimes against innocent civilians, she has no problem sabotaging other gangs and finds the excitement quite exhilarating.

Waiting on more people. Since my standards are so lenient, you're all accepted characters, and welcome to post your guys in the Character Thread.

When I've got 4 or 5 players with posted characters, I'll get the IC up. Sound good?

Primarch

Colour me interested. I've bookmarked this, might get a app up later tonight.

Primarch

Name: Chase Brannigan
Gender: Male
Age: 30
Sexual orientation: Straight
Height & Weight: 5'8 & 190 lbs

Appearance:

*Image may change after I fish out my copy of SR2 and get a screnshot*

History:
Chase has been rolling with gangs for far longer then he likes to admit, and started right at the bottom running pick ups and delivers as a kid. As he started to get a bit older and established himself a little bedrock of confidence it became apparent that when pushed, little Chase could push back hard. He was a member of the Vice Kings for a long time and later on jumped crew to the Brotherhood. Although able to think on his feet and set things up when given time, he was never a mastermind. Chase was at his best when he was sneaking into somewhere and "disabling" the guards, his talents opened up a lot of store hits. No warehouse nor car dealership was safe. Not to mention, when it was time for gang war Chase was already ready to crack some heads. Few people can swing a fist or a baseball bat like Chase Brannigan, and even less can get up after the kicking he can take.

However, after spending most of his life rolling with gangs that were out for profit and murder he started to feel the weight of innocent blood on his back and it was getting too heavy for him to bare, the very fact that Jessica went to him for the real "dirty work" was evidence enough of how bad things had gotten. Brannigan ducked out of the Brotherhood just before they were functionally disbanded by the Saints then leader. Although he was content to stay with his head down for a while, when he saw what the Saints were doing to genuinely clean up the streets, he knew he had to get in on it. Chase was canonised, and hasn't turned back yet.   

Personality: Chase is confident and resourceful, but he knows his limits and will be the first one to point out when he thinks an idea is more dangerous then its worth. But that won't stop him from playing his part. Although charming when he wants to be and ready to do whats needed to help the Saints, he also wears guilt like a coat. He's got innocent blood on his hands but he's under no false illusion of his possibility for personal redemption. He's burned down too much. But that doesn't mean he can't use his talents to make life better for the people of Stilwater with the Saints.

Skills:
- Strong Arming (You can handle melee weapons more skillfully, and deal more damage with them, then a normal guy)
- Bullet Biting (You can take more damage then a normal guy. What? You're pulling out the logic argument again? I repeat myself, this is Saint's Row, bitch! If you get shot, just go get yourself some fast food and get back in the fight!)
- Sneaking (you can sneak better then a normal guy, able to slip behind enemy lines and sabotage things)

Equipment:
Nightstick
Vice 9
Soda

Vehicle:
Alaskan

Okay, one little nitpick: nerf the pistol. I said in the opening thread that if you didn't have a gun specialty skill, you started with a default Vice 9.

It won't be hard to upgrade though, so just deal with the inferior gear for now. I would also ask that you nerf the vehicle, but since your character has a history with the brotherhood I'm just going to wave it off. You'll find that I'm extremely lenient on the rules that I've set once I've learned that I can trust you to not abuse them.

I'm starting to feel kind of cheated that everyone has these awesome weapons and vehicles, while I properly gave my guy a baseball bat and a luggage cart. I suppose I'll have to make up for that with my next character.

Hehe. To be fair, my character's specialty IS driving. Plus, the Hammerhead is not classified as a sports car, nor even that rare.

Waiting on 1 or 2 more profiles/players . If you could, Primarch, transfer your profile over to the 'Character Sheet' thread.

Height & Weight: 5' 6" 180lbs

Appearance:  
                     think color's in Saint's Row purple and gold and white

History:Joe was born in Saint's Row on 3rd street about four blocks from the old church. from his home he saw the Saint's as they kept their territory safe. he remembered Julius before the current trouble. at 16 Joe even ran with the Saint's when the Brotherhood and Ronin came through taking Stillwater from the Saint's. afterward he had left because of a wound he got when the Saint's hit the brotherhood. Joe's shoulder was hit by an AK round cleanly through. hurt like hell.

for 6 years he recouperated. it was a long hard road but he beat it. during that time he saw Stillwater get invaded again by other gangs. at first Joe thought the Saint's could recover but..well this bullsh** wasn't going to happen... Joe got out of the hospital..but things were not well he learned his mom and sister were raped and killed by members of the arbiters of death.. those crazy sh**s.. he would make them pay big time first thing was getting back with the Saint's and finding out what the F*CK! happened?         

Personality: mostly a nice guy when he is relaxing but if you piss him off..well let's say Gat wouldn't help you ( he help Joe ) he is nice to girls won't even hit em unless they hit first... he does hate it when when someone talks about his family..which he doesn't speak about it...

Sure thing. Put your character in the Character Thread, say something in the OOC, and dip your feet into the IC, you should be able to find all those links relatively easily.
