I currently do not plan to attempt to start the RP without the Head Admin, the Assistant Admin, and two Leading Agents. I would also like to see more bad guys and maybe two more good guys. =]
UPDATE:
I've updated the current members list, and I plan to update the layout of the first page to make it less messy and less confusing.
So that means at least 6 more characters before we start the show. I've already got ideas for one and that branched off to another so ill see what comes of it.
Name: Zanis Summers
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Personality: Zanis is a very quiet/calm individual. He has his wits about him and seems to think a few steps ahead of everyone else. He is quite intelligent. He almost seems devoid of emotion (a bit like Cloud Strife) but actually really cares about things. He has a selfish side to him, he wants to get things done as quickly as possible almost like he has an agenda.
Duplicate Personality: Self-centered in a sense that he will only do what will benefit himself. Intelligent, and thinks a few steps ahead of everyone else. Is not as reserved but knows when to listen, even though he could care less about what he is listening to. Likes to smile a lot, like he has everyone playing his little game.
Appearance: Zanis Summers has black spiky hair, slightly pointed nose, brilliant
blue
eyes, and is quite tall in stature (around '6'4'' and weighs around 185lbs) He is thin but well-built (slightly muscular) He wears all black. A long black trenchcoat-like coat with pointed popped collar, a plain black shirt underneath, black dress like pants, and high black military like boots that are strapped on with buckles. (A very Sepheroth like outfit)
Duplicate Appearance: Wears the same exact attire, has the same black spiky hair, the same slightly pointed nose, same skinny slightly muscular body (including height and weight), but his eyes are a deep bright
red
, almost like they glow.
History: Zanis Summers was born 5 months after an accident his parents had while working on a project in a chemical lab, an accident which left them with radiation poisoning. Upon Zanis' birth he showed no sign of being sick as his parents were, he was quite healthy. His mother died a few hours after his birth and his father died a few weeks later, all from the effects of the radiation. Zanis was then looked after by his uncle, Elias Summers.
At the age of 4 Zanis could preform small amounts of dark magic, VERY rare for someone at such a young age. At the age of 6 Zanis already knew how to read and write as well as an adult. He learned things remarkably quickly and was able to solve advanced math problems by the age of 9. Elias taught Zanis how to fight at the age of 15 and practiced his ability to use dark magic. At the age of 18 Elias was accidentally killed during a training session by Zanis from the use of his dark magic, from that point on he to fend for himself. He has since then stopped using his dark magic. He was able to obtain a job at the lab where his parents once worked, but is unaware that his parents had worked there. He now owns a home on Delmont Ave. 2, with two floors, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, living room, dining room, game room, and a clothes room (laundry)
Abilities: An abnormal amount of strength, very strong bones almost as if they were carved from diamonds, Immune to radiation, and possesses the ability of dark magic
His duplicate has the same abilities as he does.
Weapons: Only carries a large scythe (as tall as he is)
Other: (Anything else you wanna add?)
I hope you like this and I can change some things if need be.
EDIT: If I could be a bad guy too, that would be awesome!

Also, how advanced technology wise are we looking at here?

You can safely assume that they're the "leaders" of the bad guys, and, like every group of bad guys, there's an overlord (In this case, it will be the Head Admin of Macabre Inc). The Assistant Admin and the Leading Agents are... Well... Minions, you can say, the higher-ups of Macabre Inc. Their personalities and such will be left to the imagination of whoever decides to sign up for those roles. =]
This sign up looks so wonkey on my iPad, just thought I would throw that out there.
I'm going to throw out there that I really like the History and how you pointed out every single detail =] I see no problem with it. I do have some questions, which I will not post here, since I'm sure most, if not all, will be answered as the RP goes on.
The technology will be very similar to our technology today with some advancements, how advanced the technology will be will depend on your starting area, as mentioned before. Most of the technology will be based upon nature (as in, most of it will be "green" technology that's mostly solar powered. Cars, computers, and many others will be powered through "green" technology.
I apologize if my responses are somewhat slow this week. It's Thanksgiving week, so I'm helping out my family with preparations and such, so I may be a bit busy =] I will try to update as much as I can, however, and answer any questions.
So then would it be possible for the existance of unauthourized human testing for genetic coding/splicing, failed or otherwise (probably failed)?
Hope it's okay to use another character in this. If not, then maybe Ahri could find some use for him. Let me know if anything needs changing. There wasn't much information on Macabre Inc. so I had to think of a lot of stuff myself. So yeah, if it's not what you had in mind for the company, then I'll change it.
Name: Robert Howard
Age: 53
Gender: Male
Personality: Robert is very reclusive. He doesn’t like to spend time with idle chit-chat, and he is very formal. He is cold and uncaring, as he thinks such “petty emotions” would get in the way of his research.
Duplicate Personality: He is more cold and calculating, and unafraid of using anyone to achieve his goals, by any means he deems necessary.
Appearance: He has short, brown hair and his face is rather bland and featureless. He shows no emotion, and everything about him is just basic. His attire consists of rather plain and cheap shirts, trousers and a tie.
Duplicate Appearance: Exactly the same as his counterpart.
History: Ever since he was young, Robert had always been interested in inventing things. He made his own solar panel by the age of ten, and since then his creations had grown far more ambitious and original. By the time he had finished college, he landed himself an apprenticeship in a firm called Macabre Inc. It only took a year for the company to realise how much of an asset he became, and offered him a full time job as Hardware Designer.
When he was twenty seven, he and his wife had a son, whom they also named Robert Howard, but it was not meant to be. His wife fell into a state of depression, and over the following year it drove her insane. After an attempt at killing their son, his wife was put into mental care and their son sent to an orphanage. (Their son was later adopted and his name changed to Dai Tywyll.)
Of course, Robert didn’t really care much for any of this, as he was too focused on his career. He had revolutionised the use of green energy, and he was advancing quickly in the company. The technology he had invented already made every day living far more energy efficient. He eventually got in on the inner workings of the company and advanced to the position of Leading Agent.
Macabre Inc. was already aware of some sort of “parallel world”. For years, they had been trying to find a way to create a bridge between them. Those who are currently in on this now don’t really know the company’s true intention. That has only ever been clear to the Head Admin. However, everyone else has their own reasons for wanting to be in on it. Should they manage to exploit this “other world”, they would be able to make a lot of money. Robert was the one who discovered how to open the gate to the other world.
Abilities: Robert doesn’t possess any magical abilities. His capabilities come from his ability to use his technology to accomplish almost anything. He has reached a point where he can invent a gadget to do almost anything, provided he can make the time to do so.
His counterpart does have magical abilities, though. Rather than study technology, the duplicate delved in magic. But a balance had been struck between the two. Robert’s inventions equally match his duplicate’s magic.
Weapons: Robert is usually armed with a small handgun, which he has customised for use with a huge variety of ammunition that he had developed himself. However, he needs to take several moments to adjust his side-arm to be able to use each variety of ammunition.
His duplicate is armed with an enchanted stone, which he uses to channel his magic energy in the form of “bullets”. This requires tremendous amounts of focus, and wears him out quite rapidly, but it can be used to devastating effect.

I was actually considering doing something like this, as far as the monsters that came from Morke go anyway. I was thinking that they are comparable to most zombies; they are failed experiments that, due to the harsh conditions in Morke, went feral.
In other words, I fail to see why it's not possible in this RP.
I'm sure I mentioned this in the Shoutbox, but yes, you are allowed to play around with more than one character. I imagine that it will be somewhat more difficult to pull off, but I don't see why you can't =]
The personality feels a little bit... Bland compared to Dai, to be honest. Does he have any good qualities other than the fact that he's polite?
Also, I love the twist that you made there; Making this man Dai's son. He can't be as uncaring as you make him out to be from what I see, unless he decides at some point he doesn't love his son anymore, even after saving him from being killed by his mother.
I hate to be a burden, but I will reserve this spot for now =]
Well, Dai had been adopted at a very young age, so any resemblance between him and his real father will be purely genetical. 
Dai's personality would mostly be inherited from his adoptive parents, as they're the only parents he knows.
I understand that Robert's personality is very bland, but that doesn't mean he is entirely emotional. I mean, he would experience anger and frustration due to failed experiments, or his staff failing him (as an example). He's just extremely reserved and controlled about it. Though he generally doesn't care about the human population. He'd be the type who would happily expend lives in the sake of science, and may possibly have had such intentions in regards to Dai.
As stated in Dai's bio (probably should have mentioned it in Robert's also), it was actually a friend of the family who had saved him as a baby. Robert was never around to see his son, as he was too absorbed in his work. I mean heck, god knows why he even had a wife and child in the first place. Even I don't know.
But I plan on all these things being developed as the story develops. I don't really plan on him having any "good qualities" as such, but his character will become a lot more three dimensional and there definitely will be a side to him that is very much human. But it will be the sort of thing that will become apparent through his actions.

I understand that as the RP goes on, characters will start to show their "true colors", if you will. I thank you for this explanation, however, and though this message will be a bit brief, I'd like to let you know that... I'm going to assume that Robert is going to be a bad guy? If this is the case, when I get the chance, I will add him to his respective category. =]

Name: Maple
Age: 14
Gender: Female
Personality: Maple is a very.. strange child. She's been known to have a rather loud and happy personality, but others have stated otherwise. She is well known as a "twisted" child; her interests were quite different from the rest of the juveniles her age. Maple normally starts off as a very verbose and easily amused little girl, but when placed on the spot, her personality suddenly turns dark and angry; it emits a gray aura that terrifies anyone within her range. Her smiley personality fades and is replaced with a different smile, a cocky smile that reflects her apathy for any emotion outside of her own.
Duplicate Personality: Maple's duplicate is very similar in many aspects, only she one thing is different; rather than placing empty threats like the real Maple does, she has been known to commit murder and draw blood.
Appearance: Maple is quite small for her age, just barely scaling over 5 feet, 3 inches. She loves to dye her hair, so her natural hair color is undetermined. Due to rough times, she was unable to dye it recently, so her current hair color is a light pink with golden tips, and her hair is usually curled near the ends. Her skin is rather pale, it was almost clear because it is so pale, but I believe the most interesting part of her appearence are her eyes; her eyes are a bright yellow, and she absolutely hates it, but has slowly grown to accept it.
Her clothes are rather odd too; She usually wears pink and yellow clothes, and sometimes wears insect-like wings and something fuzzy around her nect, much like a boa.
Duplicate Appearance: Everything about her appearence is pretty much the same as the real Maple, however, she usually wears blue and green rather than pink and yellow, though she enjoys wearing both. Her hair color is dyed as well; it's the same hair style as Maple's, only blue with green tips.
History: The strange girl has lived in Porsuele for as long as she can remember. Like most children at the time, she lived in a large house and was pampered most of her life. Life was easy for her; She had her college already paid for, she received everything she could ever want without even asking. But when Maple grew to be twelve years old, she noticed a drastic change in her parents' behavior.
They began to fight more, and they began to spend less time with her and more time at a strange place... Her parents said that they went to a person to help them keep them together, but she knew the truth; because six months later, her father walked out on both her and her mother. He didn't leave a note, he didn't explain why he left; he left without a single trace. Because of this, her mother slipped heavily into debt, and they eventually lost the house, and eventually, the girl was on her own. She was unhappy with the new lifestyle she was forced to live in, she was tired of being cooped up in her room and sheltered away from everything outside. She shook her head as she looked back at her mother. The girl remembered how close she was to her father and how little attention her mother gave her anyway.
She also remembered when she used to sneak outside to play; there were these strange yellow and pink insects that were prosperous around the place, which, for come reason, her mother hated them and called them gross. She was always fascinated with them, and because her mother never called her by her real name, she named herself after these bugs; She named herself Maple, after the Rosy Maple moths.
While she was away, Maple gained much amusement by watching some of the Tournaments within Porsuele and Beridwen. Most of the tournaments included an old sport that was around during Medieval times; Jousting. She also saw her favorite; sword fighting. Hearing the clanging of the swords and the grunts of the men as they swung these heavy, sharp objects... It fascinated her, and she eventually learned to sword fight herself. However, because she became quite skilled at this, she accidentally killed her master during practice. Her master was the closest she had to what she was missing for almost one year; a father. She mourned his death and moved on. One day, while walking down the street, she felt a mild Earthquake. She shrugged it off, but the next day, she had a rather rude awakening by.. What appeared to be a mirror.
She rubbed her eyes and screamed when she realized; This was NOT a dream. Who stood before her was... herself! The duplicate of Maple drew a sword and held it upright, gesturing her for a duel. After a long and hard duel, the duplicate knocked the sword out of her hand and held it to her neck, in which Maple gulped and expected to be killed. However, instead of killing Maple, the duplicate just jumped out the window and ran off. Maple braced herself for the day that she would encounter her again.
Maple traveled all over to hone her skills as a swordsmaster. She chose to isolate herself from everyone else; The only thing that she cares about is searching for the duplicate and killing her.
Abilities: The only ability she is aware of is her skill in sword fighting.
Weapons: A shiny, silver sword caked in blood. She stole this while she was attending a tournament in Beridwen.
I may go back and edit this later, but this is my sign up so far. It's a bit weak, but I'll fix it.

Hmm, I hope this isn't dying. 
Might I suggest maybe establishing a story with a smaller cast of characters? I mean, there's already a bit of momentum going for this. It would be a shame for it to lose pace because we're waiting for more participants who may not even join.

Honestly, the only thing I'm really waiting for are people that are interested in the Lead Agent and the others, as they are the most important aspects of the story.

Just let me think up of another bad guy and I will see what I can do!
Could always boost Robert up to Assistant Admin as well if you want. Why not just make a bunch of short bios for the Leading Agents and use them in the RP as NPCs?
