[This RP is based off the mobile game Ingress.]

The world around you is not what it seems. Our future is at stake and you must choose a side.

[User Posted Image]

PLOT
Earth has been seeded with “Exotic Matter,” or XM, associated with the Shapers, a mysterious phenomenon or alien race which is neither described nor seen. A mysterious force contacts you on your mobile one day, and asks you to choose a side: Enlightened or Resistance. Once you have chosen a side, you are expected to help your team to neutralize and capture portals the around the area you live.

CHOOSE A SIDE
There are two factions (teams) to choose from. The Enlightened fight believing their actions will uplift humanity, and bring about the next chapter in human evolution, while the Resistance believes in preserving what freedom humanity has left. The Resistance are represented by blue and the Enlightened are represented by green.

THE AIM OF INGRESS/PORTALS
Earth has a large number of “portals”, made visible by the "scanner" on your mobile/device. They are colored green, blue, or grey, depending on whether they are controlled by the Enlightened, the Resistance, or currently unclaimed, respectively. A portal with no resonators is unclaimed. You can acquire game items (resonators, weapons, etc.) by maneuvering yourselves into proximity to a portal and "hacking" it. Anyone can hack any portal and receive items, subject to limits on frequency. When you hack an enemy portal, you earn action points, at the risk of being attacked by the portal.
-
To claim a portal for a faction, you must deploy at least one resonator on it. If a portal is claimed by the enemy, you must first neutralize it by destroying the opponent's resonators and mods by firing "weapons" called XMP ("eXotic Matter Pulse") bursters.
Up to eight players working together can create a far higher-level portal than any one player can create individually. Also, resonators decay spontaneously over time, and must be recharged in order to maintain control of the portal. This can either be done on site, or remotely through the use of a portal key and XM reserves.
-
Two portals that have all eight resonators deployed and are controlled by the same faction can be linked by a player from that faction who stands within range of one and has the portal key for the other. When three portals are linked in a triangle, they create a control field that claims the Mind Units within that field for their faction. Portals within a field cannot originate links, but can be linked from the portals on the perimeter. The opposing faction can destroy a control field by destroying one or more of the links that compose it.

ToM's character

Real name: Steven
Agent name: GogoatX
Gender: Male
Age: 17
Faction: Enlightened
Level: L6
Mobile Device/Scanner: Motorola Droid Maxx, Android 4.4.4
Personality: Very competitive, quick to make decisions. The very actions of others dictate my own both positively and negatively. With uprising power, I slow down for nobody.
History: I managed to come across the application in October 2013 while innocently toying with a /system dump of a phone I was curious about... The opportunity arrived for me while I was in class, so I set up shop and didn't quite know what to do from there. I lay dormant in the game for almost 11 months until last month where I decided to open the application again. Messing with mechanics while taking a friend home with me in the bus, I managed to become a L2 agent, and thus, the rush began. Addicted ever since. The object of this "game" quickly became a daily factor of my life.
Appearance: (Coming soon)

OOC: Oh yeah, that might be a good idea, for people who actually own the game. How do I get a picture of mine?

OOC: You would screenshot and crop the badge out with the gallery application. It would have to be the badge on your agent page because it has a higher resolution.

Here you go, I did it for you.
