Hell Diver's: Into the Fray

"For as long as we are human, there will be war..."

- Introduction: Into the Fray


"E.T.A. 4 Minutes! Everybody lock and load, initiate your pods I.S.S., pull down those visor's and wait for my command once we strike the hot zone!"

The trooper was strapped tight into his pod as he heard commands relay to him through his helmet's head piece. He slipped his hand to the right of the helmet and engaged the visor switch which caused the visor to slide down over his face and initiate his HUD. He slapped the magazine to make sure it was in place, pulled the charging handle, and slapped the upper receiver after checking to make sure a round was in place. He took a deep breath as the sound of air escaped his mouth and creeped through the ventilating system of the helmet. Noises began sounding off in the pod as the lighting system shut off and nothing but a red blinking light in the top right hand corner operated. It was warning the occupant that they were to hit planet side in mere seconds. The trooper looked to his left and punched a blue button that initiated the I.S.S. which was a Impact Surface Shield. It protected the pod and the occupant from becoming completely obliterated by the free fall. Once it hit the ground the shield would implode and exert force outward from the pod throwing any hostiles in the zone to their backs, it gave the trooper inside time to exit and collect his/herself.

"I jump into the fray, to fight on this day, choosing to die my own way, I am a Hell Diver, this is my creed."

The trooper said these words under his breath as his pod smashed into the surface of the planet. It created his entire body to be rattled around in his suit and containment device that held him strapped tightly in the pod. The lights in the pod shut off on impact and the containment device (seat belt device) automatically released after two seconds after contact. A big red button above the door was lit as everything else was off and the trooper took another breath and slapped it. This popped the door off, firing it from its frame and into the battle the trooper went. He rushed to the first sign of cover he managed to spot. The trooper slammed up against the side of a building as he witnessed 16 other pods falling from the sky all over the city. His orders were very simple, reinforce the lines within the city and regroup with the rest of the Hell Diver's.

- Summary

Hi! Wanted to see if this story would appeal to anyone, there is a plot by the way, it will not be free for all, it will be a linear story obviously your character and characters actions are all free for you to decide. Just the main direction of the story will be driven by me.

Background: The individuals we will be playing are Hell Diver's, they are soldiers who are dropped behind enemy lines to engage the enemy with said mission that usually yields a 20 - 40% success rate for the average soldier. They are also dropped on the front lines in the middle of combat as reinforcements to pick up morale of said soldiers fighting on the ground. They use unconventional means to approach the completion of a mission. It is a volunteer special operations division under the Coher Military. Coher is a planet that has one unified government. Coher is in the middle of a war with another planet called Earth. Earth is as you all know, not a unified planet under one government but a planet that has several governments and nations all across the globe. Coherians and Earthlings are all humanoids and look relatively the same in the aspects of their anatomy. Except Coherians have orange, amber-like eyes. Which Earthlings immediately deemed them demons because of it, even though the rest of their anatomy is very similar.

First Contact: Coherians crashed landed years ago in New Mexico. The government retrieved remains of the crash and took into custody several crew members who after countless hours of negotiation simply just wanted to go back home. The government denied any crash, and denied the ability for the Coherians to send help back to the stars, with the technology they salvaged from the wreck. The Coherian crew members were tested on against their own will, beaten, and put into stressful situations to test psychology. During escort of a Coherian to one of the holding cells, the Coherian escaped and activated a beacon within in Coherian equipment located in a test room. This beacon was then spotted by Coherian government and found out more intel in what was happening to the crew and the situation. Earthlings were then seen as hostile due to the animalistic approach toward trying to get information out of the Coherian crew members. It is now the Coherians finally decided to spring into action, they declared war on Earth and its inhabitants and the governments that be.

In essence this story you are taking the role of a Coherian Hell Diver. Who have landed in Chicago, Coherians are also assaulting other nations all across the globe at the same time. This is the story of a alien squad who is fighting on Earth from their perspective. There is a plot as said before, I have a direction I want to take it.

Is there any interest? And suggestions are also encouraged!

An invasion by alien forces, but from the perspective of the aliens? That's a new one in my experience, usually its humans fighting off aliens. I am certainly interested, though I do have to wonder if the story will stay within the border's of the US, or if it will go international?

Let me first start by saying, thank you for taking the time to read! Yes it is a different approach, I have not seen a thread take this direction so i wanted to give it a shot. It will start off with a team deployed in the US, right now the majority of the world is fending off the Aliens as well. Reason why the US, is because this specific team has a mission that relates to the crash landing in New Mexico. If enough interest is gathered, this in fact will have many chapters to the story, in which it will pop the team globally. I have a very big picture of what I want to do with this world, but for now this is the beginning of a long war against Humanity.

This looks pretty interesting. I'd love to see where you'd like to take this story.
