Okay, I've been stuck in the stagnation of II for far too long, and want to get back into the NS forum. To do this, I am hosting a character roleplay. For those that don't know me, you are new in my eyes. Hello new people. And if it seems that my stuff isn't very good right now, it's cause I gotta get back into the swing of things around here. I shall improve to my former level of Rping abilities.

The pitch

My government is putting out a call for freelance soldiers to come do some dirty work for them. A black op that is being outsourced. A cult calling themselves the Hand of Barakel. More on the cult shall be unveiled through the RP. Suspense!

This will also end up as a PR move by the government to promote international cooperation in the nation.

The cult is located in the mountains, in a small town comprised entirely of members of the cult. Roughly three thousand members. The primary objective of the mission is to take out the leader of the cult, a woman named Bethany Red or “Sister Red” to the cultists. The secondary objective is to locate and destroy the ancient underground church that the village has been built atop.

Looking for around 5-8 people for this. If you're interested, post a character . And do try to be creative. I don't want a squad of people with katanas running around. There are tons of bladed weapons on earth, be more creative than just going with a katana. Well, if you have a good reason for having the katana, I'll let it slide. The whole katana thing is just a bit of a pet peeve of mine. Also, a trenchcoat isn't exactly mountain friendly attire.

Creativity will play a substantial role in character acceptance.

The setup of the terrain is that this is the eastern mountain ranges of my nation. My nation is a giant desert, and is very dry, so this will be a dry and sandy environment, much like Afghanistan or something.

My guy:

Name: General Garfer Mcpossums
Age:45
Rank: General (der)

Distinguishing features: he's short, bald, is missing his left leg, and drinks....alot:p

He has been the general of Possumslavia's military force for several years and is a master tactician. He hails from the northerner region of Possumslavia where he was once a humble possum breeder making only a very small amount of monies to support his family. He started his career in military training his beloved possums to fight and attack predators.

So far looking good. Possumslavia, no.

Name: Frederick Talbert
Age: 27
Height: 5'11"
Weight: 185lbs
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown
Weapons: USP45 with silencer and detachable laser/flashlight sight, C8 carbine with suppressor, top-mounted scope, attachable M203 grenade launcher and multiple extended magazines for light support, extendable and reloadable LAW, combat knife, steel wire.
Equipment: Smoke, fragmentation and high explosive grenades, dense kevlar underarmour, survival kit, multi-vision goggles, plastic explosives.
Martial arts: Four years of Kung Fu as a teenager, CEF close combat training.

Originally a corporal in the Harakian infantry, he volunteered for Combined Expeditionary Force (Special Forces) training and was one of the three accepted out of a class of eighty, at the age of twenty-one. He spent three years before being wounded and captured in a covert operation aiding rebels, from which he was freed after two months when the rebels overran his prison. However, the CEF could not take him back, partially due to his addiction to painkillers following the combat wound and partly due to his compromised cover. Since then he spent a year 'finding himself' before settling into work as a mercenary.

Since he found his new occupation, he's settled into it quite well. He is a good marksman, enjoys destroying things with explosives, and was very adaptable to many roles during his time with the Harakian CEF. However, one of his primary roles is and always has been stealth and infiltration. He has supposedly ditched his addiction to painkillers, or at least that's what he tells his clients, who hold him in high esteem as a rare commodity: A good freelancer.

*Bump on Sigma's behalf!*

Name: Staff Sergeant Smantha Laran (Imperial Commando 21)
Age: 25
Height: 5 foot 9
Weight: 160lbs(nude)
Eyes: gray
Hair: n/a(shaven head)
Weapons: MTAR-21(5.56mm), FALCON sniper rifle(12.7x108mm), combat knife, CZ-TT(.45)
Equipment: Tybe-B Combat Armor(normaly silver, will be camo for this op), Fatigues, Rations, satellite phone
Martial arts: Dirty fighting(mix of drunken boxing, brawling and using anything that could possibly be a weapon)
Physical characteristics: Shaven head, a veritable latticework of faint scars cover her body in a very orderly patern, muscular.

Physical Augmentations: Surgically altered to have larger and more powerful muscles, metal grafted to bones for added strength, several implants added for intigration between armor and user and brain alterations made for enhancement of reflexes, eyesight and hearing.

[OOC note: This means she can kick in just about any door, fall from about three stories up, react to a noise(by turning and raising her rifle) faster than a human should be able to and can see small print at three times the range of a normal human. Think a poor man's super soldier...]

Armor: Full cover. Allows for almost complete protection against side arms, enough against assault rilfes to remove herself from the battle, enough to take glancing hits from a machine gun and enough to survive an HE/Shrapnel grenade hit within four feet(requiring immediate medical attention). Normally silver colored. Reason is that there is a big difference in being able to see a commando and being able to stop one(Crim and notouriously arrogant). Will be camouflaged for the safety of others on the operation.

Crimmond...just a bit too supersoldier for this. If you sorta dumb it down, you're accepted. As is everyone else. I'm writing up the first post right now. The only one rejected is possum.

And this sucker is started. http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=481488

Crimm, just update the character as less supersoldiery and you'll be good.

OOC: This is just the sort of thing I've been looking for. (We share the same 'peeves' as it were), but unfortunately, it looks full.

In the event someone doesn't show, perhaps you'll consider the following character...

Name: Matthews, Dominic 'Shadow-Walker'
Rank: Special Agent
Prior Service: US Government Drug Enforcement Agency (Special Agent), US Army (Airborne Ranger)
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Brown
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 238 lbs
Race: Samoan / Native American (Cherokee)
Gender: Male
Nationality: American
Age: 29

Matthews spent roughly eight years in the Army as a Ranger before leaving the service to be part of the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), running covert operations and drug stings for the better part of three years. Despite some successful busts and a few worthwhile shootouts, Matthews began to miss the adrenaline buzz of actual combat, like the kind he'd seen in Iraq and Afganistan as a Ranger. As of five months ago, Matthews enlisted with Red Dawn International, one of the largest freelance hiring firms worldwide.

Matthews was raised in poverty from a young age, his lifestyle slowing getting better as his single mother moved up the corporate ladder. Because of this, he has become extremely self-reliant and has developed a taste for the finer things in life. His hefty paycheck he recieves for each deployment allows him to aquire those things, and keeps him in the mercenary game.

Dominic has been involved with boxing since he was very young, which transferred over to kick-boxing fairly easily in his early teens. Muay-Thai was the next step in his early twenties. The Army Combatives provided him with a fairly strong background in grappling and ground-work, allowing Matthews to develop an effective mixed martial arts fighting style for close-range and unarmed encounters.

Weapon-wise, Matthews is very familiar with small-caliber rifles, mostly M16/M4 style weapons, and has an extreme talent for handguns which would most likely come from his constant contact with such weapons during his time in the DEA, with the weapon either on his hip or in his hand at all times.

Psycologically, Matthews is a calm and controlled person with something of a mean-streak when his racial background is concerned. While somewhat culturally torn between the Samoan culture and the 'Old Ways' of the Cherokee, he tries his best to honor the ways of both his mother and father, his beliefs have evolved into a combination of the two.

Yeah, I'll accept you Mercenary, cause I know you'll be a good addition. And now this RP is full. We've go room to drop anyone that stops posting.

NO MORE APPLICANTS

OOC: Many thanks. I'll get to posting.

I also enjoy the super-fast turnaround, with a response in less than five minutes...

Well, due to my school schedule, barring when I sleep, I'll be sitting in front of a computer until thursday at 6:00pm mountain time.

My character is allready established... I have that level of soldier, I have a standard marine, I have a geneticially created species that wouldn't fit and... I have Otto Skorzeny III. Who is a very hard character to write for as it is.

So I'm going to drop out of this as I have no appropriate characters premade and I have too many to make one more.

Why not use your basic marine then?

OOC: I'd just start from scratch and make a new character, then ditch it after the RP ends, or keep it for a later, similar roleplay.

Hey, I've been pretty absent minded lately. If there are anymore questions on things that i neglected to mention, put them up now.

And if you're wondering about the layout and setup of the village, Team B will have that information when we land.

Just stuff about terrain. Distance from drop to village/rondezvous with Team B, over what terrain - are there any good vantage points over the approaches to the village and the village itself, and how far outside the village sentries are expected.

Also, what state of readiness are the cultists in?

Team B will meet Team A at the drop point and move to a secure location to get up to date.

Yeah, I haven't forgot about the RP, just life stuffs happening, keeping me from postinating. Gotta drop out of college (with more forms than you could possibly imagine) and arrange my move back home, etc, etc. Those are my reasons. Important reasons.

"How does that stuff keep me from posting?" you may ask.

Well, its sucking all creativity out of me, halting the story.
