RISE - Info & Sign-Up Post

What is RISE?
The Rogue ImPort Suppression Enforcement (RISE) is a government-sponsored team of imPorts that work with the military and local law enforcement to bring dangerous imPorts to justice. ImPort criminals are apprehended by joint forces of imPort volunteers and native law enforcement, tried in front of an imPort tribunal, and sentenced to an appropriate probation period. RISE also responds to non-imPort threats such as Soviet aggression and terrorist attacks, and conducts community outreach to both imPorts and natives to ensure a healthy and trusting relationship.
Where is RISE based?
RISE is based in the Helix Station, located in downtown Maurtia Falls. Constructed by the former Maurtia Falls Ambassador Revan![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
exsithstential, Helix is a kind of fortified community center for imPorts that is now run directly by RISE. It was originally heavily armed, but its weapons turrets and energy shields have since been removed at government insistence. However, Helix remains the center of RISE activities and an armoured refuge in times of crisis.
What jobs are available in RISE?
RISE's operation is threefold: Track down, defeat and arrest dangerous imPorts in the field, hold them legally accountable for their actions, and maintain a supportive relationship with the people it protects through community outreach. RISE personnel are generally divided between field agents to confront threats, legal experts who participate in the imPort tribunals, and experts in public relations and citizen engagement who ensure the team maintains a good image.
How does RISE operate?
RISE has a defined chain of command. The founder and leader remains Major General Olivier Armstrongdarwinatrix. Barnaby Brooks attainment is responsible for PR affairs. Legal and Public Relations experts will be consulted prior to any large-scale operations by RISE, excepting missions explicitly ordered by the government. RISE members are expected to have defined specializations and assigned areas of responsibility, and will be held accountable for any abuse of power by the team's leaders. Members who persistently prove problematic may be assigned attitude training, or even ejected from the organization.
Who can join?
Much to Olivier's great displeasure, the government insists that RISE membership is only open to Registered imPorts. Any character who Unregisters will be ejected from the organization. Moreover, RISE does not recruit imPorts who have been convicted of serious crimes, such as murder. Any RISE member who commits such a crime will likewise be ejected from the organization.
How can my character join?
Sign up here! Commenting on Olivier's post / IC Inbox and threading a recruitment scene out isn't necessary if you'd rather handwave it. Applicants will be asked to run an obstacle course and then face off with trained native combat instructors in a spar to test their combat abilities, powered or otherwise. (Don't hurt or kill the instructors, guys. That's bad form.)
While Olivier would greatly prefer that characters complete the obstacle course, if your character couldn't make it all the way, don't worry! You can still join, she'll just look down on you a bit ;)
Is there anything else to do?
Yes! Applicants will be required to pass a psychiatric evaluation. This will largely be handwaved unless you want to play this out with an imPort PC! lease include what issues might come up in the evaluation, in the signup sheet below.
Okay, so where's the signup sheet?
Here it is!
