 || AN INCEPTION RP ||This is a role playing group taking place within the world of Christopher Nolan's 2010 film Inception. Our RP will be based on, but not limited strictly to, the science and ideas found in the film. We want to expand on the world of Inception, with our own creations, silliness, and story telling. || ABOUT ||This RP is all about fun. The film Inception is rather serious and action packed, and certainly our RP will have actiony moments and serious moments - but we're not looking for all drama all the time. Ultimately the goal of this RP is to conduct "jobs" (successfully or other wise) with our original characters and use our imaaaaaaaaaginations to have fun. We're a light RP, meaning there is no need to type out page long responses or even paragraph long responses so if that is what you're worried about - don't be. || CHARACTER CLASSES || * = Class TakenOverseer/Tourist: This is the person who finds jobs for the team and funds the team with money; the team's employer. Target: The person (or persons) the team is trying to extract information from. Extractor: The individual who is the primary thief within a job. The other team members help locate the information, but it is the extractor who does the actual, literal, stealing. * Pointman: The team member who is responsible for researching the team's targets. * Architect: The person who constructs the worlds in which the dreams take place. Forger: Takes the form of others within the dream space to help gather/plant information and ideas. * Chemist: The person who creates the compounds needed to sustain the team members' dream states. || RULES ||- READ EVERYTHING EVERYONE WRITES. Seems like a "duuuuh" statement, but you have to read to respond, to interact, and thus to Role Play. - Play nice. Don't be a god-modding whiny b***h and we should be A-OK. - We're a light RP. Full pages of description are not needed or really even wanted. If we all want to kick it up a notch later, we can. For now we're aiming to stay in the realm of casual RPing. What is casual RPing? Casual is code for lazy. An example of a literate RP is as follows: Literate Example Vera walked into the dusty warehouse, her eyes adjusting to the lack of light slowly. Eager to get to her makeshift lab she chooses to venture forward into the murky dimness in search of the light switch. In the search, her feet find a stray brick before the switch. Inhaling quickly in pain, she quickly lets out frustration. "Bloody hell!" Giving a grimace she continues her search blahblah four more paragraphs of whatever. A example of a light RP is as follows: Light Example *Enters warehouse and blinks, her eyes adjusting to the light. Heads towards her makeshift lab, stubbing her toe on the way* Bloody Hell! *Continues to search for a light.* Of course we want everyone to bring their own style to the table and if your style is wordy, so be it! But don't expect everyone to be like you. - Although we are not a literate style RP we are still literate people; please be thoughtful of your posts in style, tone, and overall readability. This means maybe you wanna spell check and we ain't taken' no 1337. - When in doubt about the RP, or of you just wanna make a comment please clarify that you are OOC (Out Of Character), or we'll all be really confused really fast. - No pr0n. Duh. (LOL BROKE MY NO 1337 RULE ALREADY) - Please, Please, PLEASE have fun. Be creative, be willing to divulge in dramas and sillinesses, be flexible.

When Oly awoken she found $5000 cash and an address to join the team in their secret warehouse hangout. It's been magic ever since. PERSONALITY: Has A.D.D. so it's hard to get her focused on projects, but once in the zone she is able to build pretty mazes and elaborate pictures. Though no longer a starving artist, she does have random jobs from time to time that somehow get included in her architecture. (example: once she was a dog walker as a part-time gig so in one of her landscapes she had designed dogs into ever street corner. It got kinda ridiculous but the foreground was beautiful nonetheless) USER NOTES: A cross between Edward (Cowboy Bepop), Bubbles (Power Puff Girls) and Dee Dee (Dexters Lab). She may be ditzy at times, but as an artist she is pushing boundaries everyday. Also, don't tell her to not push a button/break a rule, it just makes her more curious and intrigued and she WILL go overboard. TOTEM: A small black elephant figurine HANDLER: Oly Cook!

|| ABOUT THE TEAM ||
So far our extraction team consists of:
1 Pointman
1 Chemist
1 Architect
With no extractor at the moment that means the entire team has to pitch in when it comes to literally getting a hold of the information we've been hired to get. This means that during the RP we have to recognize that we don't have all team members and that some of us will be doing "double the work".
As we don't yet have a person to play the various targets within the dreams we will be creating, we are all also going to have to be sharing that duty - based on the information our pointman Jeff gives us on said targets.
And last but not least: Because we don't have a Tourist yet I, Red Scully, will be coming up with the missions for the time being - unless you have a idea! In which case, pleasepleaseplease share!
All in all: We gotta roll with the punches guys! RPing is basically improvised story telling and it is all about spontaneous adventure - we just gotta stick with it to get the kinks worked out.
|| THE SETTING ||
Our extraction team is located in middle-of-no-where Yalobusha county, Mississippi. There ain't much there, but the little town works great for planing jet setting brain-heists and dream scheming.
The warehouse where the team works is musty and dusty, worn and used, and on the outskirts of the town. There isn't a lot of space, but there is a small lab, several old couches and chairs, a full bathroom, a small kitchenette, and desks.
What your characters due in their spare time/as a job around the town is all up to you.

*Struggles with the warehouse door, jiggling the key in the lock and pushing with her shoulder. Finally gets it open and turns on the lights. Walks over to her desk and puts her purse down. Pulls a file out of the purse and dials Jeff on her cell phone - leaves a message when he doesn't pick up.*
Hey Jeff, Vera here; seems we've got a job and I need you to get on acquiring information on our target as soon as possible - we've got a pretty short deadline on this one. Alright, call me back or just show up. I'm at the warehouse. -- OH! If you see Oly let her know, I'd call her but she probably has no idea where her phone is... OK bye.
*Hangs up and puts her lab coat on. Starts organizing several powder compounds*

*A little while after the message had been sent and listened to by the send-ee, While whistling "Oh My Darling, Clementine", Jeff tries to lift a cinderblock to prop the warehouse door open as he balances a box of Cripsy Cream donuts under his arm. The first time, unsuccessful about removing it from the ground, he drops it in midair and stumbles. The second time, he giggles at his success and walks through the door, approaching Vera's desk .*
Lovely Lost wife, where have you been all my terrible, teen angst filled life? I've been waiting, and waiting...and waiting and waiting...and waiting and waiting and waiting for your call-so I brought you some donuts; they're to be shared at your disposal.
*Sets down the box of deep fried death rings after scattering folders and organized paper to make room, and opens the top. Presenting them like an infomercial host while holding a manilla folder under his chin he grabbed from the laptop bag resting on his hip*
We have Jelly, raspberry glazed, lemon glazed, regular crullers, and my personal favorite...chocolate with sprinkles.

*Looks up from her work, giving a little grin as Jeff proudly displays his box of donuts.*
Jeff, darling, we've worked together for how long? I do not partake in the eating of such sugary delights. Unless you have a carrot glazed donut made of whole-wheat bread that is. And dear God - don't let Oly near those! She'll go ballistic.
*Finishes up taking stock of her inventory. Washes her hands quickly and hands Jeff the folder with a job information. Leans on her desk and folds her arms.*
Doesn't seem too hard a job, although kind of a weird one...

*Takes a bite of a jelly donut as he sits in a swivel chair with his khaki shorts clad knees and pays rapt attention as Vera talks. When she finishes, he nods and wipes his jam dripped chin on his wrist*
Oh yeah, High Comander? It can't that weird... not like the time we found Oly-oxen-free, anysway.
*with a grin, and his donut resting between his teeth, he claps his hands so as not to get powder on the file sitting on the edge of the desk.*

Well, it isn't super weird - just kinda weird. I understand that Mr. James would like to make sure his son's internet empire is safe; but why is he willing to put down so much money for our services? You might be able to find out any of this type of information just form the background check alone - seems kinda weird. Like something else is going on here. But - whatever! We need to do a job, I don't know about you but I am getting low on funds. Private school is not cheap. stressed

Ah, yes. How is our little Vera-Spawn?
*Jeff replied without looking up from the file, but had a small grin as he looked over the information. Slowly, as he read through it, the smile gradually went away, and in its place, confusion. With eyebrows furrowed, he turned the page of a thick packet, and scratched the back of his neck*
Not getting into any...trouble, i hope?
*With his emotions regarding the file plainly displayed on his face, he looked back up to face Vera*
