Moon Base Missions are over this way! Until we come back to Exsilium, please consider using the short form first. Click on this link for more information!

Small Group Missions
Mission Request form last updated 08/19/13.
These are missions for groups of two to eight characters (though there may be some flexibility on that character limit).
Do you want some unexpected forced bonding time? A group training exercise? Here's the place to get that! By requesting a Small Group Mission, you will be given an opportunity for your group of characters to be sent on a mission by the Initiative. These missions will be small in scale compared to the game-wide missions -- a game-wide mission could change the tide of an entire war; these missions will often be seemingly inconsequential, but could potentially have long-reaching effects.

Perhaps your characters will be sent to the French countryside in 1723 with the instructions to raid a carriage and steal a small wooden box inside of it, or to the Reconstruction-Era United States with the instructions to find a certain man and invite him to a bar with the purpose of getting him so drunk that he passes out, or to simply walk into a library in Egypt and collect several scrolls. But perhaps that small wooden box contains an important treaty that is being transported to be signed. Perhaps that man is, in fact, a US senator who will now be late and miss out on voting on a new law. Perhaps those scrolls were housed in the Library of Alexandria and only days away from being destroyed in the fire.

When assigning missions, we will be taking factors such as the size of the group and the particulars of the kind of mission you, as players, want to see your characters on. The more specific you are, the better we can meet your needs!

Solo Missions
Solo Missions are much the same as Small Group Missions, but are undertaken by a single character. You have the option of writing out a solo log about the mission, or simply handwaving it. These missions can be used for character development purposes and/or as a way to explain your character's absence when you go on a hiatus. Please state exactly what you want your character doing for this mission.

MISSION REQUEST FORM

Character(s) involved:
Preferred Location: This field is optional. Do you have a country, biome, or otherwise specific setting in mind for this mission?
Preferred Time Period: Again, this field is optional, but if you have one, please state it here! Double check that your time period is not in conflict with your preferred objective.
Preferred Mission Objective: Specific detail is highly suggested. What do you want your characters doing, and why? What objective would they have? What can you see the Initiative wanting? (You don't need to know this so much!) Having a clear idea of the sort of mission you want and what you hope to achieve from it helps us get back to you sooner! General statements like "I'd love murder, please" are not so much helpful; "I'd love to go on a murderous rampage during the Civil War in the United States, on the side of the Rebels" is better, and we can help find the importance of it to the Initiative.
Expected Mission Duration: If you have an idea, or would like the mission tailored for something that takes a longer or shorter period of time. Played out mission times don't need to match the actual duration of the mission. That is to say, you may have your characters go on a mission for three months in the past, while only one week to a month passes in the present game time. 
Additional Notes: Anything else you'd like to add.

Character(s) involved:
Character skillset: What is your character good at, and what is their weapon geared toward? What type of abilities would they like to hone?
Preferred Location: This field is optional. Do you have a country, biome, or otherwise specific setting in mind for this mission?
Preferred Time Period: Again, this field is optional, but if you have one, please state it here! 
Preferred Mission Objective: This is the important part! What kind of mission would you like? An assassination, a political debate, stealing supplies from a futuristic outpost, roughing up a 1930s mob boss? The more specific you can be, the better!
Expected Mission Duration: If you have an idea, or would like the mission tailored for something that takes a longer or shorter period of time.

Character(s) involved: Margulis and Lee Chaolan
Character skillset:
-Margulis:
Hand to hand
Use of just about any kind of bladed weapon

Mecha piloting
Field first aid
Espionage
Sabotage
Subterfuge
Infiltration
Leadership
Battlefield control
Diplomacy
Super strength

Weapons (operation, repair and construction)
Field first aid
Business
Seduction
Espionage
Sabotage

What needs honing: Lee lost a few friends over the course of his stay and his self-esteem has taken a blow.

Both men need building up again and with the stagnation of the Hold lately, a move from Lee's original base of operations and a few hits to their pride, they need something to shake them from their funk.

Preferred Location: Tokyo and Okinawa, Japan.
Preferred Time Period: 1980's just before the big Japanese technology boom takes place.
Preferred Mission Objective: They're going there to stop a counterfeit market from selling American products and pirating imported goods for profit.
Expected Mission Duration: About two to three weeks for the mission while on the present time stream in Exsi they could be gone about a 2 days.
Additional Notes: They'll probably try to bring back a few changes of clothes if they can manage it.

THE MISSION:

Tokyo and Okinama, Japan. The big technology boom is lurking around the corner, but not quite hitting the country head on. It's an opportune time for those with an idea of the future potential of the industry to make a killing pirating the work of others not yet seen on the Japanese Market. Preventing this early undercutting of outside market sales is hoped to reflect back on jumpstarting the Japanese technilogical boom more quickly, and as a more direct response... Make the Atari sell. Man, it's that simple. Make the Atari sell.

THE FALLOUT:

Boosts in Atari sales lead to more of a compettion in the early video game market, consequently changing the interface of how video game systems took off in the Japanese marketplace. This allows for some unusual avenues of exploration in order to gain the leading edge back from the United States, creating an overall more innovative landscape during the 80's and following decades in the technology industry. The motto, "There is no such thing as impossible, only the yet to be invented" is born out of the twenty year period following.

THE NOTES:

Dress those boys snazzy, and have fun bringing them back home in their new digs!
