Task 3 - Character Profile

Jen Bullitt IV

A student by day and a British Secret Service agent by night, responsible for active operations within Europe, Jen Bullitt IV is the fourth Jen Bullitt in a line of MI6 agents, with the first Jen Bullitt sprouting up during MI6’s founding in the early 20th Century.  She is a young aristocrat, a fierce Royalist and patriot, determined to serve the Crown to the best of her ability.
At university she is studying for a History degree, which serves as a useful cover for her work with MI6.
An expert in martial arts (having studied dance from a early age), unarmed combat, weaponry, ballistics and explosives, she also has a good command of electronics and telecommunications. Jen Bullitt IV speaks French, German, Spanish, Italian and Mandarin Chinese in addition to English. Slight in stature and of average height, she is highly skilled in misdirection and disguise.

Task 2 - Game Genre, Setting, and Synopsis Research

Jen Bullitt IV

The game is set in the present day and is based in London and the capital cities of Europe. It mixes elements of several game genres, such as adventure, puzzle solving (point and click) and third person shooting. The game follows Jen Bullitt IV’s dual life as an MI6 agent and university student, living in the suburbs of North London, but studying and working within Central London.

The gameplay is split into two; her missions as an agent and her daily life and the lengths she goes to hide it from others. The game requires an online subscription as the missions are released as the game is launched by a player. The more successful a player is over time, the higher they rise within the service.

Mission Mode

Each mission has a very clear objective; to obtain intelligence, identify and rescue/assassinate people or to pick up/steal items critical to British intelligence. Jen Bullitt IV has to use a combination of physical skills and intelligence to achieve her objective. She works alone and if discovered or caught, she is disowned.

Daily Life Mode

In order for Jen Bullitt IV to carry out her duties as an agent, she has to live a normal and healthy life. The role of the player, when not in mission mode, is to monitor her everyday activities as one would a Tamagotchi pet. Via a smartphone, tablet or computer, the player keeps a god-like eye on the university student, making sure she eats properly, sleeps well, gets plenty of exercise and keeps up with her studies. All this has to be balanced with a social life. Failure to do this properly affects her performance on missions (less stamina, slower reaction time, confusion etc.).
