A divided South African country. Two warring factions, both alike in ideal, but both very much unable to adapt and compromise. Both willing to fight, and to die for their idea of a free country. But neither willing to give it to the other side. Both armed, both with men willing to see it through, but none of them willing to kill their neighbours.

International mercenaries. Hundreds, thousands of them. All looking for money, all of them hard, steel tough and cold hearted. They are willing to kill where the natives aren't. They can pick up the rifles and guns to kill the other side. All they want is the money they are promised. They don't care about ideals or about beliefs. Just money.

A shadowy, stealthy black marketeer. A man who seems to have his hands on every weapon in the country. He's supplied guns to both sides, and to the last remnants of the African Army that is holed up in the country. Everyone says he's the cause of the battles. Is he?

You, you are former military, or former police. It doesn't matter. You've been drifting for awhile now. But your government has found you, and offered you a deal. For any past crimes, you'll be forgiven. And for a large sum of money, atleast half a billion of your countries currency, you will be supplied with a pistol, a map, a melee weapon, and your perfered means of infiltration into the country. Your mission? Kill the black Marketeer known as the Scorpion and either destabiliize the country enough for fighting to break out and outside forces to have the reason to move in, or stop the war entirely.

Upon completion of your missions, you will be extracted, to the country of your choice, and the money wired into the account of your choosing.

Good luck.

So yes this is heavily inspired by FarCry 2, don't like that, then hit that back button.

For the rest of you, show your interest here.

I'm in. Nothing like mercenary work.

Interested, quick question, what kind of pistol?

I am also in. This is going to be interesting.

Seems fun.

You get to choose the pistol. But only a pistol, and a melee weapon. You don't have room to take any rifles or shotguns in with you. But seeing the country is in upheaval you can pick up something like that there.

The pistol can be a modern M9 or a slightly older M1911. All up to you.

And the melee weapon can be anything from the good old K-Bar knife, to a forged 2 foot short sword or even a tomahawk. Just remember, that's all you're going in with at the moment.

And it might be days, or weeks before you might get your hands on something like an AK47. If you're lucky you may find a F2000 or a SCAR.

It's all possible, though the newer guns will be very rare. The older the weapon, the more common. You are more likely to see crappy FNFALs and AK74 carbines over M16s or QBZ95s

Question, are you going to limit our military/police experience? Or are you gonna allow any group or task force as long as they don't seem massively overpowered.

Here's an example.

When I last did this RP. One of the characters had Specops training, paramilitary and mercenary background.

Another example in the game this takes alot of inspiration from, one of the characters was former IRA and a former prisoner.

I can honestly tell you, my character is going to be a former JTF2 operative who had been working paramilitary security in Rwanda up until now.

Does that answer your question?

Stupid RPGuild, did weird things to this post...

Absolutely, so a former ISA operative who worked shadow coverage in Africa and Mehico isn't going to look out of place.

Which ISA are we talking about here?

the American intelligence unit?

or the Israeli internal security force?

Intelligence Support Activity. So the American one.

Ahhh okay. Thanks for helping me clear that up.

And yeah that'd be fine.

I'll probably make a Welsh former SAS member.

Can we bring attachments for our pistol. Like a Surefire or a suppressor? Also i realize i am asking a lot of questions but i like to cover my bases.

You can find things like Surefire's and Suppressors when you reach the country.

The Scorpion has brought in alot of things into the country to fuel the fires of war. Laser sights, silencers and the likes of it are pretty prevalent there.

All you're going in with is a stock pistol, your melee weapon, enough rations for 2 days, the clothes your government gives you. And that's it.

This isn't Call of Duty, you are not an active member of the military. You're decommissioned, you are living on private sector wages. This is not a fully sanctioned operation. The governments sending our characters in agree something needs to be done. But they cannot let it show up on the official books. Yet.

I think this is gonna be my last question. Are you gonna want us to work as teams or can we do the mission at our own digression.

I would like us all to meet up at the beginning. If working as a team doesn't pique your fancy, fine. But just remember, you are not Rambo, nor are you Master Chief. A solitary soldier, just may be a dead soldier. A group on the other hand can do more, be able to use more tactics to defeat larger groups.

I'm not going to force anyone to work in a group.

But seeing I am both a player, and the GM, I have the power to be...evil if I like.

Hmm, I was thinking of going back with my SBS character. So that will compliment the Welsh character, I suppose. I did have my character get a P226 with a Surefire silencer at the start, but I'll have it this time without.

So then, Role call.

We have kingkonrad, who I have been in contact with outside of the thread and he has kind of agreed to act as a co-gm in a limited capacity.

I will hold final veto over anything that happens. But if I am unable to reply in a timely fashion his word can also be thought of as gospel.

We have Enalais. As well as Napoleon, we'll make sure not to get near Waterloo sir. Also Mr. GamingOwl. I like that name for some reason.

I will put the OOC up here within the next few hours. as well as a CS that we can think over.
