Unless the search feature isn’t working for some reason this is something that’s never been tried before (although maybe that’s a good thing....) Anyway this RP is based around that (in?)famous world belonging to the men and woman who for the most part are responsible for making sure that new gadget or whatever is in the store when you go get it.

Enough yappin’ ‘cept for one thing. I’ve layed out some basic ground rules but (storyline aside) I’m hoping you guys would be able to fill it out more. Any ideas, potential flaws or items that might create issues later on are more than welcome. Y’all know how to reach me.


In 2004 the federal governments of both Canada and the United States announced the introduction of a program designed to counter a rising number of street racing incidents. Aware of a large number of independent truckers roaming the major highways, the governments elected to enlist help from these ‘big-rig bosses’ and form a joint intelligence/law enforcement organization. Special passports and weapons authorization cards were issued to applicants and several arms and vehicle manufacturers donated their products to aid as armed chase vehicles.
Within a year of the first applications being approved hundreds of truckers all over North America had joined the program. Fluent in 10-code, NATO phonetic and their own unique ‘trucker code’ the new organization was launched. (I have a list of 10-code, NATO phonetic (AKA ‘pilot code’) and two sets of common ‘CB slang’ with definitions if anyone wants it for reference)
However, just as government worked together to defeat racing, so to did racers begins working together to stay on the roads. Some began smuggling drugs and weapons to pay bail money, others turned to truckers to help hide them when things got hot.

Name:
Handle: (what you’re known as over the CB radio and by the law enforcement. Intended for racer and truckers but I’m not picky. So have fun with it)
Nationality:
Preferred Operations area: (a slight description would be helpful)
Affiliation: Racer, Agency, Cops, Crooked Trucker, or make up your own group
Truck: (your main transport- naturally if you’re not a trucker it won’t apply to you)
Gender:
Height:
Weight:
Age:
Physical Description:
Hair Style:
Colour:
Length:
Eye style/colour:
Tattoos/distinctive markings:
Clothing description:
Vehicle: (a more detailed description of your race vehicle/cruiser or your chase vehicle)
Weapons/offensive items: (um......yeah. I’m a weapons geek.)
Armour/defensive items:
Other Modifications: (what the thing about it that make it ‘yours’?)
Driver Skills:
Driver Weaknesses:

Notes: These are guidelines that made sense to me, feel free to use them however.

Some Agency truckers works as a team with one or more other drivers.
1: Driver operated both Rig and Chase vehicle (car or motorcycle)
2: One Rig driver (operated as a base camp) one chase driver (car or motorcycle)
3: One Rig driver, two chase drivers (one car, one motorcycle)
4: One rig driver, two motorcycle drivers, one car

Agency code: I couldn’t resist figuring out something unique from the ‘trucker’ lingo....
18-Wheeler: Rig, driven by a ‘Rigger’
Chase Vehicle (motorcycle): Booker, driven by a Bookie (also, Scout)
Chase Vehicle (Car or small truck): Gunboat, driven by a Gunman/Gunner
Racer: Peeler (‘peeling rubber’)
Cop: Bear (taken from the actual slang)
Crooked Trucker: Bugger (drives a Bug)

So that's about it. Not exactly sure how we're gonna end up in somewhat of a general area (North America's a big place, right?) but maybe a truck stop close to the border?

Blue62 going 10-7.

It would be awesome if you'd be the driver. Whatever you wanna do with this, I'm good. Quiet driver, obnoxious driver, whatever. And could you post or PM the code if you have it handy? Thanks.

Let'see.....18-wheeler transport trucks or something built to race on the streets.

An 'agency' trucker would be hunting for street racers in thier rigs, pursing and disabling the race vehicle in thier own custom built 'race-type vehicle' in order for cop to move in or make arrest themselves. Racers are avoiding the cops and Agency trucks either by out racing them or using other truckers (a 'Bugger') to hide.

Buggers would likely be running a smuggling operation (think the Bandit out of Smokey and the Bandit) or perhaps even doubling as a racer much the same as a agency trucker (18-wheeler races even?)

Clear as mud?

Seems good. Just one question, are the weapons on the truck or the car?

The car. The truck is primarily used as....well, a truck with a higher range gear shift and a more powerful engine.

Right. Just wanted to check. I figure that after we chase down the Racers, and they start running (outta gas/car shot up badly) I'll chase 'em down on foot or whatever.
