Hello all,

I was watching Dallas S.W.A.T one night and was thinking...why not create a SWAT Rp here on NS?. I was thinking, together, we could come up with some situations where the group of players SWAT players eliminate the threat in each situation against other players Rping as the bad guys......

So....

1. Everyone wishing to take part creates a charactor for SWAT or the other side of the law.

2. Together we decide on the situation SWAT will be given to take care of...mission details ect...

3. Team work is essential to completing the mission at hand.

I was thinking the SWAT team would be made up of 6-8 players while the terrorist/bad guy's would be given a number of NPC's to work under them...

I am open to suggestions and thoughts, please lets have some feedback.

If you like the idea and have suggestions on how to make it better for our Rp'ing pleasure please toss some idea's out there and lets do it!

This got a whole wack of potential...we can make up the senario's in the OOC: and have them called in by som1 ICily..

After that we can head over to the situation putting the plan we made together into action!

Don't it sound kinda cool?

I think the problem your not foreseeing, and this is comming from someone who has attempted this style of RP numerous times (HRT/R6/SWAT/etc.), is the general problem of having 6-8 people, most of whom may have absolutely zero concept of CQB/CQC operations, attempting to RP dynamic entry and operations. A good team should be able to enter and clear an average sized room in ten-fifteen seconds max. Trying to RP that ten to fifteen seconds over the frame of three-four posts by five or six different posters, not including response posts by bad guys, usually leads to confusion and problems. You have people who want to do things one way, people RPing bad guys who don't want to get killed but most likely will...

The idea is good, but its hard to pull off by numerous posters. What you would need is a group of people to do the character asspect of the RP, with one of them ahead of time designated to take care of all assault RPs. The bad guys that will be engaged are all NPCs, with absolutely no connection to one or two players acting as handlers for the bad guys. Thats how I would do it.

I wouldn't mind flexing my muscles on this one either. I've done some SpecOps style RPs before (both host and participant), and Imi is absolutely correct. The biggest problem is people who have no more knowledge of the subject than TV and action movies. Not that that's a bad thing, so long as it doesn't impede progress.

That said, as much as I enjoy playing the bad guy, I'd be a willing team member. I'll come up with a bio for you in the next day or so, when all the excitement on base dies down.

Ok, thank you Imitora!...your comments are always valued here or on any of my threads,

thank you..


Kulikovia-

Good to see you again mate, i could allow you..maybe 1 other, to control some of the bad guys...

i know you would play it out fair given your experiance, and i'll take some one else with general knowlage...other than that! EVERYONES SWAT!

The S.W.A.T team the good guys will be playing is APD (Apollo Police Department), Apollo is my capital city and we have avalible all equipment used by the RL LAPD.

Crime is heavy on my "Southside", housing projects, the westside faces many problems too, along with...the suberbs, down town....the list goes on...

Im going to take Imitora's advice and ask anyone who wants to be a SWAT team member to please sign up with a charactor, bad guys will be controlled by Kulikovia/myself......possibly 1 other...

any takers?

Oh also i am taking a SWAT slot in the rp, therefore there are five left....

Well, if you need one, I'll take the sniper. Everyone loves a sniper. My knowledge of real steal dynamic operations? Absolutely zilch real expierience. However, my stack of books written by former US Special Forces, 1SFOD-D, DEVGRU/SEALs, SWAT, SAS, and Air Force Special Operations...yeah. I do have a little CQB shooting time, but it was done as part as an FBI HRT themed airsoft team, nothing serious. Also, talking about Dallas SWAT...I used to live in Dallas before I moved to Ft. Worth, and one of the guys on the show used to be my next door neighbor.

Chill with the bumps, ace. 'Top of the forum' antics don't cut it with very many people. I've found that I've something in the way of too much free-time these days, so...I guess I could throw something together. I know the theory, if not the mechanics..

Character...character...character...hmm, maybe a little bit of furriner blood? Not Revenian -- that would be ridiculous (You don't need battering rams or lockbuster slugs when you've got a Revenian -- they can GLARE doors down. Or shoulder-bash them. That two-gee stuff...) So, something from the past...

I'll take an entry chap, I suppose...something like (this is still rough)

Name: (Sir) Jandry Steelheart, Captain (ret.), Derallian High Guard.
Rank in APD: Undecided (Lt? Sgt? Whatever)
Age: 29
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 160 lbs
Birthplace: Steelheart Cavern, Derallia.

Physical Desc: Jandry is a short, but very muscular individual. He has pale skin and blond hair, blue eyes. Usual Derallian characteristics (Derallia was a tiny island nation, much of the population lives underground in massive bunker complexes called 'caverns.') He has a noticeable scar that splits his right eyebrow and the High Guard's winged skull insignia tattooed upon his right bicep.

Short Bio: Jandry Steelheart was the youngest of six children of a relatively minor branch of the Steelheart clan, one of Derallia's most prominent families. When Derallia finally cut all ties (easy, because it never had ties) with the outside world (Derallia is an unextant nation...meh,) he left...finding work as he went. Thus bringing us to present-day locales...

'Combat' stats -- kit & etc.

Jandry, as a High Guard Officer, was highly and expertly trained to function as a leader of men engaging in two roles -- elite light infantry and special operations. (The High Guard was a defensive formation, thusly 'special operations' meant 'counter-terrorism stuff.' Take the US Army Rangers and combine them with Delta Force, or something like that...they weren't expected to engage in projective force engagements...)

His speed, athleticism, and small target profile (considering that most Derallians are six foot +) made him a natural entry specialist, and his choice of career as an expatriate has reflected this.

He has 'money' simply through being a Steelheart -- his choice of career is purely because he enjoys it, and because he feels it makes a difference, no matter where he is. For this reason (provided you have something equating to a US Law Enforcement firearms permit) he tends to prefer to purchase his own equipment independent of general issue.

Kit:
Primary - Magpul Masada weapon system configured as necessary -- for entry/close-quarters work, the 11.5 in compact with a trijicon reflex sight and a foregrip. (GrumbleGrumble -- yes, it's still a prototype, and -yes- it's not exactly 'LAPD standard,' but the difference in-character between the Masada and a stock M4 are nil, unless we're going to make the people with the M4 use an RNG to see if it jams every time they shoot. This presumes a Masada with the bugs worked out -- lowered charging handle and the 6 o'clock picatinny moved back for proper location of a foregrip.)
Secondary - Customized Colt Delta Elite (10mm Norma Auto. Heh-heh-heh...wouldn't be a Rev-type MT char without a 10mm...)

Apparel - black six-pocket cargo trousers (propper, CombatCloth, etc,) black 'shirt' (generic. T-shirt or long-sleeved, depending on, y'know, the temperature.) Boots -- various types.

Other Apparel & Notes - Jandry dislikes wearing a balaclava except when it actually serves a purpose. He believes (likely rightfully) that any benefit from 'anonymity' is far outweighed by the intimidation factor for innocent civilians and/or hostages. He usually wears a ReconWrap convertible doohickey in some configuration, so if he needs a face-cover, he has that.

Armor - Helmet: RBR Mach IV, which is a copy of the US Army's ACH with an increased neck cut-out and various other modifications. Vest: RBR L-Tac 203 vest (IIIA plus plate carrier) + a variety of RBR ballistic plates. Elbow and knee guards.

I could go on, but I'm getting lazy. Assume Blackhawk gloves, vest, etc. Jandry would be a proponent of zip-tie cuffs...and carry something along the lines of a Bob Loveless integral-hilt hunter (Did I mention he was independently wealthy? Good.) 'n an expandable baton of some sort. Probably a Monadnock. Thus ends kit.
--

Stuff -
Jandry is rather highly trained in demo and a 'minimal force' kind of guy -- comes from using demo in an environment where you're underground or 'in a building' almost the entire time. His preferred entry method is chasing a shaped charge, but that is understandably not going to work with most civvie agencies.

He's capable of range-of-weapon encounters -- that is, quite competent throughout his weapon's range (and beyond. Derallia favored 7.62mm firearms...,( though he specializes in close-in reflexive shooting.)

He dislikes using taclights because he dislikes being an obvious target. If forced to use one, he 'flashes' it only when necessary, so as to preserve the 'blinding' advantage and not give away his position. He has a pair of Derallian LEODs (Lightless Environment Observation Device -- something along the lines of Sam Fisher's goggles with their 'vision modes.' Combines Gen4 NVG functionality with thermal imaging and digital enhancements) that he will use in low-light situations.

I can lead the entry team (or, rather, Jandry can.) I kinda-sorta know what I'm talking about (I know the theory, anyways, as I said...,) and, of course, we aren't really trying to be utterly realistic here, are we? Otherwise, Jandry is just a shooter with extras.

Now, further notage and thoughts --

If Imi plays the sniper, then I'd suggest the entry team have a layout like this --

Team One:
Team One - One: Sgt. Jeff Clayton, Shooter, SMG/Carbine
Team One - Two: (___), Breacher, Shotgun/Ram/etc
Team One - Three: (____), Second Shooter, SMG/Carbine + Assists w/ Ram

Team Two:
Team Two - One: (Lt./Sgt./?) Jandry Steelheart, Shooter, Carbine. Also, Demo.
Team Two - Two: (_____), Breacher, Shotgun/SMG.

Team Three:
Team Three - One: Imitora's Sniper
(If Imi wants a spotter, methinks he can handle playing that chappy himself)

That includes the three 'stated' characters, I think. Also, that presumes that Osteia wants to lead a team. If that isn't the case, swap it around. Jandry can deal with the 'smaller' team because he can multi-task more effectively than the average police officer -- and because he's better trained and more experienced, to boot.

Now, if I could make a few suggestions...

Osteia -- your character...

Aight, Glock 20. Awesome! That is, in my opinion, one of the best fightin' guns on the planet. 15+1 rounds of 10mm Auto! 's almost like cheating!

Now, the subgun. MP5 - fine. Classic. great. Expected. K. What? Let's rethink this.

Okay, the MP5 is, in effect, a miniaturized G3 battle rifle chambered for the 9mm round. Fine. The G3 is an awesome rifle, and the MP5 is probably THE world-standard subgun. There are a number of variants, including the excellent MP5/10 series, which fires the 10mm Auto round, and the MP5SD series, which are very nice if you're, oh, say, a SEAL.

Then there's the MP5K. K == 'Kurz,' which is German for 'short.' So we're taking a shrunk weapon and shrinking it more. What the MP5K is, is a 'machine pistol.' It doesn't have a stock, it does have a foregrip...it wasn't very popular. 's basically only useful for high-firepower in a concealed package. Can't take a suppressor.

There is also the MP5 PDW, which is an MP5K with a shoulder stock and an MP5-style three-lug barrel that -can- accept a suppressor.

Personally, I'd suggest a UMP45 or something of that sort. If you want the PDW, though, go for it, man.

I think thats it for now.

End Note - This post was written before Krytenia's post. Conventiently enough...I don't have to change it. Good man!

If allowed, I could play a second sniper.

and I don't know if it's available yet, but it has been written up - the H& K MP 7 (http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg49-e.htm) looks nasty in the extreme.

also the Dragon Skin body armor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon_Skin_body_armor) is just awesome!

Bah, I just had a great post ready to go, and my IE froze and I lost it. So I'll try it again later tonight.

Jandry dislikes wearing a balaclava except when it actually serves a purpose.

They do. SWAT guys don't wear them for anonimity, they wear them because, well, when the flashbangs/DDs start going off and guns get shot, all within the possible close proxemity of cocaine/methlab/other possibly flamable device that some gang banger and wanna be hard ass might has, well...I don't plan on having massive burns all over my face. Nomex balaclavas tend to help prevent those.

unless we're going to make the people with the M4 use an RNG to see if it jams every time they shoot
I swear to God...I've never had a single problem with any Armalite varient I've ever shot? Niether have any of the authors of any of the books I've read either, and most of them have spent considerable portions of their respective lives in some form of US special operations or HR style units. Meh, maybe it's just me, but I've never had a misfire or jam on any of my ARs.

Anyways, I'll be working on something here shortly, see what I can get out. If we are going based on do your own guns, I'll be working with a bolt action, or maybe the new Super SASS .308, an MP5 or AR for back up, and a Sig for a side shooter. Elsewise, kit would just be department issue.

Imi: It was a -joke.- For the purposes of this RP, even stoner's fundamentally flawed gas system wouldn't have enough time to effect anything. ARs are fine, given good cleaning. But Jandry is Derallian, with a Derallian's prejudices.

There are a lot of very good AR-15 variants out there -- I hear good things about bushmaster, armalite is pretty nice, HK's 416 is an HK, and thus beyond reproach, and etc.

The MP7 is very much available, as far as I know (I still have difficulties not calling it the PDW, though,) and it is nasty...in the same way the P90 is nasty, just without being a rectangle. Excellent for what its meant for -- as a gun for non-front-line combat personnel who need something to shoot with but don't need/can't handle a rifle. Very compact, which is -very- nice if your main weapon is, say, the 120mm cannon on an Abrams.

Which means that it is also awesome if you're a sniper, because it's small, light, and vicious close-in. Of course, 's a PDW, not a real gun...

Dragon Skin is too controversial for me to touch -- I don't know enough about it to make a judgement. Still, I'd be more willing to believe it than I would be willing to believe that there will ever be a useful Metal Storm small arm...

The balaclava thing - I'm a headshrinker by preference (and by profession, one of these days,) so I tend to go for the 'mental' effects over the physical effects. (So did Napoleon...) I am, of course, just repeating what I've read -- I could have just as easily said 'Jandry doesn't dig balaclavas because he's not used to them.' The effect would be the same. The fact that his do-rag can become a neck-gaiter or a balaclava if he needs it that way is also useful.

Add-on Note: just took a look at that new Armalite DMR (I don't know that I'll ever call an AR-15 format weapon a 'sniper rifle.' An AMP DSR-1 is a sniper rifle.) and...I approve! The components list are like a who's-who of the very best - Magpul, Leupold, Harris...

Just felt I'd throw in my 1/5 dime on that subject.

Sorry then. I'm kinda defensive about AR rifles and Stoner's design...I'm spending much dinero building me own...

Dragon Skin is too controversial for me to touch -- I don't know enough about it to make a judgement.
Seeing it stop a frag grenade dead in its tracks on futureweapons...I dunno. Lotta controversy comes from the politics and prejudice in the military. Its happening all across the board, just read Hunting Al-Queda by Annon. It's almost scary how the war on terror is being butcherd by a desire to further a career instead of catch badguys. If only John Clark and Jack Ryan were real.

Oh, character comming shortly.

Name: Slevin Wickwire
Age: 35
Weight: 210lbs
Height: 6’0”
Hair: Brown
Eyes: Green
File Photo: Click (http://www.theunit-hq.net/gallery/albums/userpics/10001/scott-foley-the-unit17.jpg) (OOC: Ignore the wedding ring)

Bio: Slevin “Slev” Wickwire is Imitoran, born and raised. He served with the RIA (Republic of Imitora Army) for a required two years in active duty before taking his general discharge and returning to school for his criminal psychology degree. In the RIA, he served as his platoon’s designated marksman, showing excellent long range skills. Oddly enough or quite possibly expected with is two year service term, he has an aversion to killing, preferring instead for most situations to solve themselves without violence, making him an excellent candidate for police sharp shooter work.

However, the Imitoran police forces wanted more than just a two year term for any specialized position, such as SWAT, ARU, Metro, or Narcotics, and his criminal psychology degree did nothing for him. He was finally hired, at his mother’s urging, by the Director of Employment at Reflex International, the Imitoran based Private Military and Security Contractor. It is of note that Reflex is owned by his older brother and twenty five year veteran of the Imitoran RIA 1st Special Forces Group. Slev did well with Reflex as a site security guard for contract high risk durable locations, but the more direct emphasis Reflex placed on operations strained him. He hopped around in a number of PMCs, including serving a five year term with Blackwater USA. He left Blackwater, accepting an opening position offer with the Apollo Police SWAT Unit as a sniper.

Slev is quiet spoken, and like most Imitorans, a romantic in the classical sense of the term, believing in chivalry and honor above all. His aversion to killing makes him a perfect asset for a SWAT team, as he is not quick to shoot, but a damned good shot when called upon. That is not to say he cannot make the proverbial “hip shot” in a sticky situation, having taken a number of bad guys on an instant cold barrel shot. However, his demeanor would rather see a negotiator talk the shooter out of the house before calling upon him or his team to engage in shoot outs.

He is qualified on the department’s fifty caliber and Barrett .416 rifles used for barricade penetration, extreme range shooting, and vehicle immobilization, but his weapon of choice is the Armalite SASS .308. The weapon is on its stock configuration from the factory, using a prototype Leupold Mark 4 12-40x60 with a Horus Vision H25 reticle. He has spent a number of days at the range perfecting the exact play of the stock to his exact size specifications. He uses hand load rounds, utilizing a Remington 168 grain Boat Tailed Hollow Point. With these custom rounds, he is capable of standard half inch groups at 200 yards, and capable of hitting farther targets with the scope as his only limitation. He can also mount an AN/PVS-22 for night time shooting. He stabilizes the rifle with an adjustable Harris bipod.

His chosen side arm is a Sig Sauer P226 chambered in .357 SIG, shooting Speer 125grain Gold Dot Hollow Points. He has mounted an Insight M3 Tactical light, Sig Pro night sights, and a Hogue wrap around grip. He also keeps an Heckler and Koch MP5A4 and Surefire integrated foregrip light, for moments when he must engage targets at close range, or is teamed up with the entry team.

Like all Imitorans, he is fiercely loyal, and not one to cross. He is soft spoken, and would rather let his own actions do the talking for him. He has no regrets regarding his military career, he simply felt that, unlike his brother, that IMSPECWAR or an Imitoran Armed Forces life career was just not his life style, and prefers the saving life mentality of SWAT teams. Equipment wise, he will use whatever is assigned to him for clothing, radio, and load bearing gear, and prefers SOG and Emerson knives.


OOC: Yeah, I know I stole both names (Slevin and Wickwire), but I think together, they sound cool. So pttbt.

Bio: A retired Captain in the Gaelic Special Forces, it was more or less expected that Walsh enter civil service in some capacity. He served four years on the force in Gaeltach's capital city of Kilasser, before selection for foreign service. He was sent with letters of merit to various foreign departments until finally being accepted by Apollo. His whole life has been spent living and breathing law enforcement, and so accepted this new challenge gratefully.

Walsh is a hard man, prone to anger and violence. He can be bull-headed and difficult to control, but a skillful team leader can keep him in check. He has a strong sense of morality, which usually helps keep him on the right track. Patience and self-control are still somewhat works in progress.

Age: 35
Height: 6ft
Weight: 190lbs
Hair: Dark
Eyes: Hazel
History: Santos grew up in a poor neighborhood in Bogota, Colombia. His father was an alcoholic foreman and mother a seamstress. Often, his father would come hom drunk and take his frustrations out on Santos and his mother. So, as a boy he would roam the streets, staying out late and falling into the arms of a street gang. As a teenager he was arrested several time for assault and other small charges, but they never stuck. In school, suprisingly, he did quite well. His mother always pushed for him to improve his life and get out of the city. He caught the attention of Juan Ramirez, a local cartel dealer who used the young man as a driver and bagman in coke deals. Santos rose through the ranks. After a few years Ramirez was finally arrested by the officals. Fearing that his boss would sell him out, Santos had him killed by people loyal to him. Now, he runs Ramirez's old operations and vastly increased productivity and made the organization more powerful. He nows owns a legit business as a cover for his drug trafficking. He is smart, methodical, and ruthless. He is also married with two children.

Second Sniper / Sniper - Spotter & team medic ( gotta love the guy who keeps ya alive )

Name: Jason "Cargo" Ironknife
Age: 35
Ht: 6'2"
Wt: 205#
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown
Click for file photo (http://www.atddm.com/Tomo1.jpg)
Scars/ Tattoos: Numerous faded/well healed knife scars on his torso. His upper back - just below and somewhat between his shoulder blades - bears a tattoo- a stylized phoenix (http:// www.atddm.com/Firebird.gif) within a greek omega symbol, below which is a banner/scroll bearing the words 'The Living End'

Physical description- Cargo looks shorter and lighter than he really is - lean solid muscle - he moves with the agility of a gymnast and the power of a tiger. ( Think Hugh Jackman in the X Men movies ) He has extensive hand to hand combat training in both a 'native' Tanaaran style that closely resembles Krav Maga and Aikido.

Bio: Not much is known about Cargo's background - he doesn't talk about it much. He is an expat Tanaaran. The fact that he saw action in Tanaaran's recent near coup is signified only by the heavy, deeply incised signet ring he wears - blackened titanium inset with five blue and ten yellow 'life diamonds'. The Monarch's Thanks, as it is known, is only awarded under circumstances for actions that are equivallent to those that earn the United State's Congressional Medal of Honor. And the tattoo. Omega is the elite Tanaaran protective services division, though those who know ( However those are very few ) know that Omega is also the Tanaaran governments 'preventive medical assisstance' division ( read precission removal of potential threats). Normally such a position is for life. He left Tanaara five years ago - shortly after the 'unrest' - with substancial financial security - he doesn't need to work- and glowing recommendations.

He is highly skilled with all of the popular sniper weapons, regularly making x ring shots at 2500 yards. His favored sniper rifles are the Accuracy International AS50 in 50 BMG, the Barrett M2 A3 also in 50 BMG or the Barrett99 in .416.

He carries a FN P90 (http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg13-e.htm) and it's 'partner' pistol the FN Five-sevenN (http://world.guns.ru/handguns/hg18-e.htm). He likes the fact that both use the same ammo.

Cargo is also extensively cross trained as a trauma/ combat medic, and seems to prefer this aspect of the job most.

Personality wise - outwardly Cargo is very laid back, easy going man who doesn't ever seem to get tense or frustrated. A listener rather than a talker, but when he does he seldom repeats himself. He has his own set of ethics and honor that he will not compromise. He enjoys people watching, reading, cooking, and taking weapons to the range. Precise and carefull, thinking things out before acting - but if the need is there he acts instantly, unhesitatingly. Cargo is loyal, but not blind and little of the evil that man is capable of surprizes him.

I think Shal has the Medic portion covered, unless we need two medics. But then again, I'm just the sniper.

Towering Flames - I'd be glad to play the back up medic if you'd like to take on the main position.
