What's your characters traits; Their flaws, their strengths?
Xenia was trained as high class assassin since her childhood by Russian government (in continuation of project "Purity" started back in Soviet Union). She was used to "handle" all kinds of problems from taking out terrorist leaders to making diversion during conflicts Russian government was interested in. Known to be KIA in 2008 she emerges in Millennium city 2 years after that. Having perfect physical state and being amazingly agile she dont posses any "paranormal" abilities, dealing with her enemies with old fashion "bullets and neck snaps" way. Nobody knows what her motivation is, but she already showed herself as determined fighter with villains forces.

Hi there, Marchuk. Thanks for visiting and submitting an application.

How does Xenia go about her crime fighting now that she is an ex(?)-assassin? What are her methods?

[Valkyrie]

Just making sure, being Russian does give her bonus pts, right?

Hello.
Xenia... well maybe "fighting" crime is not the best word you use. As a simple human she cant go crushing skulls at the front door of villains HQ. Just like before, she peeks her target (gang leader, crazy scientist or whoever important) and gets as close to it as possible without being noticed to eliminate. She dont spare anyone who gets on her way to the target, and even if there is a choice to knock out the guard or break his neck - she woulnt hesitate killing him. But she is not just cold blood murderer, every single life she takes is justified by her own philosophy.

[Lexi]

Heya Marchuk and thanks for your app. Though I am concerned about how your character currently goes about doing things.

Super Hero, Hero, Costumed Crime Fighter, whatever, this is what we are. We aren't Assassins (Granted we have some Ex-Killer/Assassins), Mercenaries, Anti-Heroes or any of that stuff.

The highlighted text just isn't what were about. Were Heroic and by definition a Hero-style character would try to avoid killing at all costs - Think Police officer, just with a cape and a black rubber bodysuit! The group goes to great lengths to abide by the law, even if sometimes it may get in the way of our fun. (The laws in Club Fetish Fuel being one good example of this.)

[Marchuk]

Well... thats Xenia's old habits that might change after she joins ToH. How she does things is just... her way, she dont know any other one, but if someone will show her, than maybe...

[Lexi]

The question turns to;

Would the House recruit an active killer?


I know Xenia means to do good, but the violent way she does it would - In reality - Be a very slippery slope for the House, but i'm sure theres ways of ironing out the creases, I've just no clue how right now.

[Angelica]

Welcome and thanks for the application.
Lexi has a valid point about our current recruiting. That being said we do have some members who have turned away from villainous paths before joining us. If someone were to show you the light before you joined, and there were signs of your commitment to cleaning up the violence, and preferably honest remorse for your previous methods something could be arranged, or at least it would go smoother.

Feel free to poke me or one of my alts for some RP
(Although Daughter of Destruction wont be any help with the 'not do violence' thing)

Yes, the House would not take in a 'crime-fighter" who is a willful killer. I call it "crime-fighting", because I presume your character is engaging in such. If not, then how are you RPing missions (if at all?)

We also can have a lengthy "development" period, if you will, before someone is accepted. Some of our applicants have RPed and associated with us for some time before being admitted. If you wish, this is something we may pursue.

Sounds like a good way to start! When and who should i contact (besides Angelica who already kindly offered to RP)?

You can contact any of us. Of course, you can always contact Puck(@Dark_Sol) and myself (@Seleos) to discuss things OOCly. The Thorns, though, are generally open for RP. If you wish to take the angle that you have heard of us are interested in knowing more of the House, then that opens many doors for RP and further development.

[Lexi]

Can always give Lexi a poke too (Lexi@iSlinky) usually up for some Roleplay and your character does sound interesting.

[Valkyrie]

Feel free to contact the bubbly happy gun-slinging martial artists who could kill people SO easily but doesn't because, you know, it's bad and makes you a villain, Nightingale! (@Crimson_Valkyrie)

[Marchuk]

Great!
One last question: at what lvl you do missions RP?

[Headcase]

Great!
One last question: at what lvl you do missions RP?

Level? Why would we not do it whenever possible? We've got occasions where we don't RP -- quipping's not good when you're in a boss fight in Therakiel's Chapel -- but if we're on a mission together, we're probably RPing at least some of it.

[Angelica]

Great!

Whenever possible, but it depends. I don't usually on a PUG group (Or I am IC, just quiet ) but HoT groups are generally IC. Don't worry if you have to break character to say something mission related. Go with the groups mood. sometimes we'd all be in character.. but if for some reason everyones chatting about the latest Dev post or something, don't sweat it.

[Luna]

quipping's not good when you're in a boss fight in Therakiel's Chapel

I so disagree!

[Valkyrie]

I usually ask around Champions RP if HoT buddies are busy, so when I PUG, I'm always with RPers. I do it and happily RP for 5-man missions and for Nemesis missions (those can add so much to storylines... just need to ignore the corny generic stuff and add your own ^^ )
