The world demands that the nations of the world have a strong and solid leadership in their armed forces. The Scandinvan Empire has known this for generations and to fill this need the Imperial Military College has easily filled this need. The officers trained at the Imperial Military College have been amongst the finest and most well trained that the Empire has ever known, but recently the College has been enlarged so much so that the Empire cannot supply enough youths to fill it’s vast halls and classrooms.

To fill the empty slots the Emperor, for the first time ever, has opened the Military College to foreign students. The students would be assigned to army, navy, or air force depending on what they apply for. These students would be trained in strategy, leadership, repair, unit formation, hand to hand combat, marksmanship, and a number of different classes of their choice. Their time at the college will be between three to five years, their choice.

Requirements to Apply;
1. At least 17 years old and no more then 25 years old.
2. Score highly on entrance exams.
3. Have a high school education.
4. Posses a strong will.
5. Be willing to follow directions for the college’s staff.

Name: (2nd Lieutenant) Mitchell "Rusty" Barnes
Age: 21
Height: 5'10"
Weight: 84 kgs (185 lbs)
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Green
Home Country: Haraki
Background Info:
Mitch was born into a poor family in the ghettos of the city of Arkia, the major port city of Haraki. As the second-youngest of a family with five children and no disposable income, he never had anything but hand-me-downs and small portions of food. Despite academic success, he was forced to drop out of school at age fifteen to support his parents. Two of his older brothers had joined the military and been sent off, one on a frigate and one in the infantry, to fight in a war for NATO in North Korea (Long story from years ago). The brother in the infantry was captured and never recovered, while the frigate his other brother was on was sunk with no survivors by a cruise missile.

With no more support from these two brothers with stable jobs, he and his older sister dropped out of school to get jobs and support their parents and younger sister, who all the hopes of the family were riding on. She was brilliant in school and seemed like the future now. Mitch managed to get jobs working on the docks and made good money for hard manual labour. This way he was fed well, although food for the rest of the family was scarce. His older sister could never find work and ended up a prositute on the streets of Arkia, giving herself to merchant sailors in town for the weekend for pitiful sums of money which went into her little sister, while Mitch built himself up into a strong young man. On Christmas Eve when Mitch was sixteen, his father shot himself in front of their tree in a fit of drunken rage over what their family had become, after destroying the presents Mitch and his older sister had worked so hard to buy. Moxing Day Mitch lost his job, and in early January his mother died of alcohol poisoning.

Mitch had had enough. On his seventeenth birthday he took his younger sister and moved to Kiros, the second-largest city in Haraki. His older sister refused to go with them, refusing to admit there was anything wrong with her life. Mitch joined the military and got his sister into boarding school with the money he made from it. He excelled there due to his excellent physique and intelligence, and sent all his money home to his sister. After two years in the infantry, he joined the recently-created Combined Expeditionary Force, Haraki's special forces, where he has spent two years. He financed his sister into university, and she has been doing better, although he continues to send her money.

I don't really want to be here, but the SCAF promised me that if I came to this school, when I get back I can attend DB Special Forces Training. I'm not sure there's a lot you could teach me that I don't already know, and if any of your instructors pisses me off, I'll have no problem in pissing him off in return. I graduated from Planter High School in Planter, Sniper Country, attended the University of Southern Sniper Country, where I gained a B.S. in Forensics with an emphasis in Ballistics in two and a half years. I joined the SCAF immediately afterward, and here I am. So, yeah, that's pretty much it about me.

Background Info: Alison grew up in a patriotic family, as most Tocrowkian children did. Her older brothers and sisters were in the Tocrowkian army, so it was no suprise to her parents when she joined the army her self. How ever, her siblings were killed in the Malgerian war shortly after she passed Basic, which has jaded her and given her a rather cynical personality. And since the Tocrowkian Military has some of the most totalitarian standards in the world, she is expecting a rather easy term at the Imperial Military College.

You should introduce them by having your character arriving on campus, NO out of the question entrances like by coming in through a smoke screen just to tell some of the newer rpers, and I will rp an response or another member of this rp will if they want.

Canadstein: Friendly advice (don't take this the wrong way, I am only trying to help), you might want to work on your grammar and sentence structuring. A lot of the verbs don't agree with the subjects or tenses and your sentences are very choppy and short (throw in a comma or two).

Done.

Alright, the rp will involve a number of graduates from the academy who are mostly of non-Valgardian descent and the foreign students of the academy. While, you are having a meeting one of the group turns out to be a spy from the imperial government or it could be after a failed assassination attempt, your choice. After, the Scandinvan military takes action only your characters and a few others were left not captured and while you are still free the military is hot on your heels. You have to escape from their grasps and have to try escape the grasp of the emperor. To do this you will have to flee across the city with the military having soldiers everywhere looking for you and also you will link up with members of the group or sympathizers.
DMG
18-05-2006, 03:54
This still begs the question where Blane comes in (if at all - I have no problem with bowing out) as I have already stated that I have no interest in having him in on the plot to assassinate your emperor.
The Scandinvans
18-05-2006, 04:19
Well, since he was part of the graduating class of that year and also he was a foreign student the military have jumped to the conclusion he was also involved in the plan to kill the emperor.

Hm. Interesting plot.

Hunter would most definitely be a part of the whole deal. It'd be a good chance to show off SCAF resourcefulness and cunning. However, if Hunter so escapes the grasp of your nation, I would probably send in a team of troops by helicopter to extract him from a designated point, and if your troops are hot on his heels, there may be an exchange of fire.
