The Glam Squad: Sexy Spies and Soldiers [On Pause]

[Foxy DeVille]

In these troubled times everyone could use some help. For the upper echelons of international society only the best will do. A team of highly specialized operatives that can go anywhere, do anything, and look fantastic while doing it. They are…

T H E

Glamor International is a worldwide modeling agency whose diverse clientele are in demand throughout the fashion world. The company also employs photographers, stylists, make-up artists, social media directors, web designers, and more. The one thing they all have in common… everyone is a skilled black ops agent. Glamour International was started by Pippa Royce, an MI6 operative whose cover was a fashion model. Dismayed by the restrictive mindsets of both her occupations, she started her own agency of clients whose looks span an array of genres. Oh, and who also form an elite paramilitary/espionage unit. The Glam Squad: their assignments span the globe and never lack in sex or violence.

This is an interest check for a game of international action and intrigue. Inspirations include Charlie’s Angels, Danger Girl, She-Spies, VIP, and The Doll Squad. Definitely a certain degree of camp. Characters can be models or any other occupation associated with the agency. Glamour International prides itself on its diversity so all backgrounds are welcome. Operatives should have specialized skills so they have their own niche and everyone comes together as a team, no awesome-at-everything characters. Players can come and go, we can just say their characters are on another assignment. If people want to do their own side adventures that’s cool too. Lots of chances for smut because, well, these are sexy spies and soldiers. So let me know if you want to join The Glam Squad and show that your looks do kill!

LADY PANDORA GREY
Also Known As: Box (to her friends)
Cover Occupation: daredevil socialite, model for accessories and swimwear
Specialty: climbing

Origin and Background:

Lady Pandora Grey ('Box' to her friends) was not originally either a model or a black ops agent. Her background includes several years in the army, where she had a reputation for seeking out anything that sounded dangerous and interesting. Once she left the army, things didn't change. BASE jumping, free climbing, exploring caves... she did it all. She'd take any odd job that promised to be exciting and fun: she might be doing stunts for a movie one week, and parachuting into the South American jungle to investigate rumours of El Dorado the next. It was almost a running gag in the British media to joke "Lady Pandora Grey is in the news again, and amazingly it's not an obituary".

Which was how she attracted the attention of Glamor International.

The challenging part was teaching her how to be a model.

Abilities/Skills/Gadgets:

She's beautiful, athletic, and fearless, but what really stands out is her climbing skill - especially free-climbing - and corresponding grip strength. She can hang from the fingertips of one hand if she has to. Which also means that anyone trying to exert their dominance with a crushing handshake is liable to get a painful surprise. Her jujitsu holds are similarly painful.

Beyond that, she's got military training from the army, and is accomplished at jujitsu and kick-boxing. And skydiving, and spelunking, and many other potentially dangerous leisure activities.

Appearance:

Box is 5'5", with a slim, wirey build. She's built like a keen athlete, with a modest bust and an impressive six-pack. Her skin is light olive, and she has brown eyes and dark brown hair (usually worn in a braid or a ponytail). She normally dresses in comfortable, practical clothes, but still with a touch of style.

Personality:

Risks are there to be taken - it's called an 'adrenaline rush' for a reason. She won't deliberately endanger herself without reason... but 'fun' is a valid reason. Still, she prefers to have some reason for her risk-taking.

As much as she enjoys roughing it and risk-taking, she also enjoys relaxing from time to time. Her secret sin is sleeping nude under silk sheets.

Flaws:

She'll never turn down a dare.

She's not as socially adept as she might be. While she's hardly shy, her lifestyle has left little time for ordinary socialising.

Her light build can work against her in a fight: some opponents can simply lift her off the ground and throw her aside.

Ons/Offs:

Extras:

Possibly a photographer, who's also a Q-type. A specialist in camouflaged weapons.

Would a touch of Fast and the Furious be out of line with a driver/brawler type?

You Are Curious, Blue?

[Vanetias]

I'm interested! But how does this game work?

Boss lady gives you mission.
Your characters carry out mission.
Gratuitous sex and violence ensues.

It'll be freeform with a light-hearted action movie vibe so I'm not gonna micromanage what your characters can or can't do just as along as everyone gets a chance to shine.

[Levi]

Ohhh this looks fun

[Cerevan]

I am. Definitely interested.

Sounds fun. Will I am able to do the sexual and violent fun with your chars or only with other players?

[Elizabeth Ecsed]

Ok, but why male models?

I'm in! (With a female character of course) Perhaps a sexy librarian type, more support and Lockpicking than combat. But I certainly know which wires to cut on bomb disposal

There will probably be chances for some NPC nookie. And your character could have people in their personal lives that they're making the beast with two backs with. In general there can be casual smuttiness in the main adventure thread but any extended back-and-forth will have a separate thread so things don't get bogged down.

Just remember that's M as in Mancy and not N as in Nancy (I'm really excited about Archer coming back).

Aaaaaand on that note I think there's enough interest to flip the switch to recruiting. Here's a sheet, I'll be adding it to the original post too...

A few things...

1) Don't worry about rushing. I got a first adventure in mind and some background characters figured but still gotta cross some i's and dot some t's.

2) The Glam Squad has been in operation for about two and a half years. So yer char can have joined at anytime in that window. Be a veteran agent or a n00b.

3) 'member to have a niche for your character, kinda like Fox Force Five.

4) Agents can come and go so if you're lurking and think "I don't have the time/Can't think of someone right now/Whatever" you can always hop in later.

5) If you got questions, keep asking.

So I could play as a male agent and have him mingle with both a female agent and his wife-partner together?

I don't see why I'd be the one deciding who gets involved with who so as long so that floats your boat and all parties involved consent then yes.

Coolio. Just wanted to make sure, mostly as I have bad luck getting consistent partners myself. _(:3c

Re-formatted Pandora (oo-err!)

[AndyZ]

So, this may not fit the original idea, but it's what my inspiration came up with.

Rather than some sort of agent, I had the idea of a character who was rescued by Glam Squad at a very young age, maybe because his father was rich and successful, and villains wanted him taken hostage.  Having now taken over for his father, he's set up his luxurious private estate so that the newer agents of Glam Squad are free to come by, participate in relaxing and getting a chance to be their true selves (I imagine sporting areas, boxing rings, a private pool, various guest quarters, but am open to further suggestions).  Where possible, his business corporation also provides cover for various agents.

Most likely, my character would never actually go on the missions, but might have a private thread for where some members of the Glam Squad come to hang out and relax between missions.

Would this kind of thing work, or be better to just scrap?

Tali Gleason
Also Known As: Ms. Claus. (As in 'Go see Ms. Claus for your presents before you head out'); Skux.
Cover Occupation: Photographer
Specialty: Gadgeteer, focusing on improvised/concealable weapons and booby traps.

Origin and Background:

Tali built her first camera, a classic pinhole model, at age 8 from plans in an old magazine, and soon after was tinkering with her dad's farm machinery, with often surprising (to him) and painful (for her, when he caught up with her) results.

By the time she was 16, her landscape shots and pictures from the agricultural shows around her native New Zealand had attracted some attention, and she was already being asked to do the occasional portrait and event shoots. She was making enough by the time she was 19 to move to Auckland and set up a small studio, while setting about getting a diploma in Mechanical Engineering from Open Polytechnic.  Her final project, involving sequentially-triggered high-speed digital camera arrays for sporting events, gained her a patent, a bit of an income, and some modest fame in the photography world.

Drifting into fashion was a natural evolution- she likes taking pictures of pretty girls (and the occasional bloke, too) in various stages of dress and un-, and it pays a lot better than landscapes. From there to espionage was a bigger jump, and only the Boss knows the whole story of how she was recruited into Glamor International.  There's a bet going 'round though that it had something to do with a girlfriend, and is a story that doesn't have a Happily Ever After anywhere in sight. Now in her early 30s, she's been with the group long enough to be pretty firmly identified with them, though she does still take freelance photography gigs to maintain her cover.

Abilities/Skills/Gadgets:
-Highly detailed visual memory; can do a rough sketch of a Person of Interest with surprising accuracy after only a brief inspection. Likewise maps of places she's had a chance to walk through once.
-Ability to improvise effective weapons and traps out of nearly any materials.  Given time to prepare, can outfit agents with highly specialized and concealed Implements Of Destruction.
-Her work (her legitimate work) across Europe has given her the basics of conversational French, German, and Spanish. She can't pass for a native speaker in any of them, but her French is rather good.
(she can also swear a bit in Maori, which is especially useful when you don't want someone to know you've insulted them)
-Carries a pocket EMP device of her own design, made to look like an older-model iPhone, that's excellent for wiping out alarm systems and other non-hardened electrical gear. It takes a long time to recharge, though.
-When she has to fight, uses a collapsible police baton, in which she's installed a modified Taser.

Appearance: Severe, tall (5'11"/180cm barefoot) and slender (132#/60kg), with long legs, she could pass for one of the models herself, almost. Tali favors the bedhead look (and spends quite a bit of time on it, rehiglighting and rearranging it at least weekly), and usually dresses in jeans and flannels or some sort of leather, even for dressy occasions like runway shows and awards ceremonies. And boots. Always boots. Her left ear and her nose are pierced, along with her l. nipple, and after one drunken party, she  got a tattoo- but only her lovers get to see it.

Personality:   While she's kind of shy in social settings, and takes a back seat during operations, Tali is an absolute dictator on the set of a shoot, bossy and demanding. It's almost funny to watch her drive the dangerous people she works with to fulfill her vision for a layout. When she speaks, it tends to be rapid-fire bullets of words, data or orders coming at your head at roughly Mach 2.

Get her liquored up some, and she gets looser and silly, and there's also a certain childlike, sadistic glee that shines through when one of her traps performs its deadly function well.

She's got a passion for classic rock, and likes to dance, though she's not very graceful when she goes about it. She might look like a model, but she doesn't move like one.

Flaws:
-While she's had basic Femme Nikita training, she's not much of a combatant, able to hold her own against your average thug, but no more. She'd much rather lead attackers into a ball
bearing trap that dumps them on their butts into a bed of caltrops covered with pufferfish venom...
-Oddly for someone who takes pictures for a living, she's pathologically afraid of having her own likeness recorded. She's been known to EMP complete strangers, destroying their phones or
cameras, because she's suspected they've taken a shot with her in it.
-When she's had a few, tends to hit on nearly any pretty girl in range.  On the plus side, she takes 'no's gracefully, and just moves on to the next target of opportunity.

Ons/Offs: Mostly pretty vanilla, but she adores watching stripteases or giving them herself. Primarily gay, she's selectively bi, and has no trouble flirting
with guys for an assignment, or just for the fun of it.

I like the general idea. It gives me flashbacks to Magnum PI where Magnum was broke but conveniently friends with a guy taking care of a mansion and with access to a cool sports car. And I've been mulling over headquarter ideas so that sounds cool. One thing though, the Glam Squad has existed for about two and a half years so I dunno if they could have saved him at too young of an age. So either he was rescued more recently or maybe Pippa Royce saved him when she was still with MI6 (her career there lasted about fifteen years). Heck, maybe yer boi provided her with the start-up cash to create her agency out of gratitude (that has since been paid back).

And to NWW 'n' Athem, really liking what I see from y'all.
