War isn't just about the soldiers fighting the front. They do most of the dirty work, for sure, but you need people in the rear to make sure things don't go to shit once the front moves on. This RP won't have us playing the role of special forces working in the enemy rear, or even regular troops fighting on the frontlines. Rather, we'll all be rear-line troops working to keep the peace. Or to find a way to get out of doing work. Or just to avoid dying of boredom.

I won't be looking for too much seriousness in this RP. There won't be an overarching story, and rather this RP would focus on our characters interacting with one another and dealing with the problems that come with an extended deployment with minimal action. There will be the occasional military operation, but I'll do my best to keep this from becoming a bog-standard military RP.

Given the scale of this RP, I can theoretically have any number of people in on this, but for starters I'd like to fill up one section (one squad) of infantry, and then we can probably work from there. One section would include:

- Section Commander
- Section 2IC
- Support Gunner X2
- Grenadier
- Anti-Vehicular Gunner
- Rifleman X2

I'm open to having civilian characters as well, but for now I'd be happy having the above slots filled up.

I'm still not sure how big of a group I'm looking for, though my current plan would allow for no small number of people. Heck, with my current plan, I could have one person roleplaying every important member on base. So far this is my list for the available slots:



Of course, if you have any suggestions, feel free to voice them. As it stands, this RP could potentially have as many characters as there can be, so in the long run I'll probably need some help running it. ><''

Updated the OP. Made it sound less wishy-washy.

I'll bite. Any idea about the setting (where, who and when?)?

I'm still drafting out the background and everything, but I've got a pretty solid idea for the time and setting.

It'll be set in the near future, somewhere in Central Africa. Our characters will be part of a UN-sanctioned peacemaking mission, which came to be after a disastrous peacekeeping attempt. As rear-echelon troops, our characters will be soldiers drawn from the military police formations of the contributing nations.

As for who, that I'm still deciding on. On one hand, I feel like giving everyone free reign to choose the nationalities of their characters, but that would make our characters a little too different in terms of kit for them to be in the same squad. I could limit us to a specific nation, but that feels a little bit restrictive to me. Nonetheless, I'll see what I can think of.
