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
<b>Character(s) involved:</b> <b>Preferred Location:</b> This field is optional. Do you have a country, biome, or otherwise specific setting in mind for this mission? <b>Preferred Time Period:</b> 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. <b>Preferred Mission Objective:</b> 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. <b>Expected Mission Duration:</b> 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. <b>Additional Notes:</b> Anything else you'd like to add.

[pilot]

Character(s) involved: Han Solo and Jim Kirk
Preferred Location: Geneva, Switzerland.
Preferred Time Period: Definitely modern. We want to play with CERN's cool toys.
Preferred Mission Objective: Whatever they get sent back for should be straightforward. Get into CERN, secure an item or information and get out.

But since this is Jim "fuck the prime directive" Kirk and Han "fuck you I do what I want" Solo they a) take their lovely time doing it, b) probably decide to try and smuggle a few things back and c) proceed to go entirely off the rails when they find out about an unethical experiment/conspiracy to cover it up taking place in the organization.

A weapon is secretly being developed, thanks in parts to advancements in physics due to the particle accelerators that are CERN's reason for existing. With the risk of these being used (the area of devastation would make a hydrogen bomb look like a firecracker), they take it upon themselves to decommission it and destroy all information pertaining to it.

Obviously, shit will go bad and they might even be frustrating Initiative goals with their little side trip but dammit they're idiots and this is what they do.

Expected Mission Duration: They would probably be in the past a month or two. Because they will go skiing the first two weeks and Han will fall on his face and Jim will laugh, I wish I was joking.

Additional Notes: S'up.
