Troy Military Academy



An Excerpt from the Troy Military Academy information letter.

Troy Military Academy is an institute created to prepare patriotic individuals to join the United Conglomerate Sectors (UCS) Military. Equipped to train approximately 300 soldiers at a time, the facility usually averages around 250 students, allowing a smaller atmosphere and better personal training from the instructors to the trainees.

The academy trains students, age seventeen through and up, over the course of 18 months, to perform advanced firearms procedures, first through third level hand-to-hand combat training, urban and wilderness survival techniques, and other skills of priceless use in the service of their country.

The trainees are divided into squadrons. There are 26 squadrons, each with a maximum of 12 trainees. The squadrons are named after a letter in the NATO Phonetic Alphabet, AKA, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. Throughout the course, the squads will compete against each other in training exercises called "War Games."

Over the length of the training, students will be instructed through three sections of learning, each divided into the six months. The first section includes basic skills that are taught by standard military training, while expanding on it as well. The second and third section of training teach advanced techniques and procedures, while touching back on the previous section(s). At the end of the year, a final exam of sorts will be given to fully test every skill learned over the 18 months spent in the program, and will not be easy in any way. Students will fail if not properly ready for the exam.


This Roleplay will be set in the early future, specifically in the year 2115. Almost thirty-five years prior to the events of the game, The United States (now the United Conglomerate Sectors), Russia, and the United Kingdom, declared victory after a nearly eight year continuous conflict with Communist China, North Korea, and the Empire of Japan.

The UCS began to emphasize a stronger, more institutionalized military. This brought about the rise of High-End Military Training Academies (MTA’s).
Our game takes place in one of the top MTA’s in the world, Troy Military Academy. Located outside of New Boston, in Sector 4 (What used to be the Massachusetts area).

OOC Things

Rules

*ALL GUILD RULES APPLY*
1. There is a minimum of 2 Paragraphs per post. One-Liners are NOT ACCEPTED. Lengthy posts are more than welcome, but quality is far valued over quantity.
2. While this is a mature RP with mature characters, I ask you to keep your posts classy. I don't mind swearing or cursing but if it guess ridiculous, I'll have to asks you to tone it down. The same rule applies to romance. General affection is fine, but if we get a little frisky, it needs to stop or go to PM's if it really means that much to you.
3. Please be respectful to other players. Conflict is often unavoidable, but please conduct yourself with some manner of decency. Slander, hate-speech, racism, and discrimination of any kind is never tolerated and I will not hesitate to respectfully ask you to leave. I do hope this won't be necessary cause this can be a really fun game.
4. Along with the previous rule, no character will directly take action on another character with mutual consent. Your character can't go killing someone just because. There really shouldn't be death in this game (YET! MUAHAHAHA!)
5. I reserved the right to add rules if I see fit.
6. Please PM me your character sheet. Do not post it in this thread until I approve it.




I will be taking 9 total players, allowing one space for myself in the game. First dibs comes from those in the interest check. They know who they are.

May I take the last slot? Considering that I saw how many people there was in the interest check and that you are only accepting 9 players.

@Icepick Well that depends on your CS. If you want, go ahead and make one and pm it to me. If we have more people that weren't in the interest check, I'll have to pick between sheets, but I don't anticipate that being an issue.

Short answer: Have at it!

I'll offer my spot up for him. Sorry, but I've kinda over-extended myself with school and writing, so I don't think I'll be able to play. Best of luck to everyone who's joining up though! Looks like you're in for a treat :)

Yeah, I think I also need to concede my spot. My RP I've dreamed of running for quite a while is actually getting players, and I need to focus on that. I'd really love to join this, but I just don't think I can work it in.

I'll have a CS up when I get back from work tonight.

Update: I had planned to get my CS up tonight but I got back spectacularly late. I've got the majority done so I'll post up the finished product tomorrow.

Name: Rhiannon Jones
Age: 24
Sex: Female


Personality:
  • Chipper - cheerful and upbeat about most things. While perhaps not inspirational she can relieve some gloom with her optimistic attitude.
  • Personable - while not necessarily a socialite, Rhiannon is someone who has the knack of getting on with others. This may not be a buddy-buddy type relationship but, at the very least, means that working alongside her is never a problem.
  • Inoffensive - she goes to great efforts not to step on anyone's toes without being completely passive. Rather than taking sides she becomes an arbiter, mediating between disputing groups thanks to her apparently empathetic nature.
  • A bit slow on the uptake - she can be slow to grasp a tense situation and this can become an issue when she enters a standoff with her cheerful mood.
  • Weak nerves - while not a coward, Rhiannon is reluctant to step out of her comfort zone which is largely limited to things she knows she is proficient at. In a combat situation this could cause her to hesitate to take on a role she has little to no experience with.
  • Slow to master - Rhiannon is not a quick learner. Once she has something down, she knows it like no one else. Getting to that point, however, can take her quick a while longer than others. She's a hard worker which goes some way to compensating for this flaw but nevertheless she may lag behind others to begin with.


Skills:
  • A good singer - being from Wales, Rhiannon has been well schooled in the art of singing through school choirs. As an added bonus, her lyrical accent makes nearly anything she says sound musical. She can't play any musical instruments, however.
  • Stamina - alongside her flaw of being a slow learner, Rhiannon has developed considerable stamina. She is by no means a slow runner but it is in the endurance challenges where she will shine.
  • Chess genius - no one has won against her in years and she enjoys crushing those who challenge her.

Background:

Rhiannon was born in central Wales, in the shadows of the Brecon Beacons. Both her parents hailed from the area, as had their parents, such is the nature of those born in the Valleys to settle where they were born. As the only child she was showered with love and gifts and so found it easy to venture out of the constricting and traditional daily Welsh Valley life, visiting the larger towns and cities just across the border into England. Later, after school, she moved out entirely and studied Chemistry at Cardiff University, staying in the halls of residence there.

That is not to say that she found it easy to adjust to city life, with the thousands upon thousands many more people living and working there compared to the slow and quiet days in the Valleys. Still, she enjoyed the bustling nature of the city while still being surrounded by her fellow Welsh for comfort. Gaining her degree she was reluctant to return to the Valleys, the expectation that she would abandon her adventure and settle down with one of the local boys (there were, according to her mother, several interested parties). Instead she took up another family tradition, one that could not be argued with, and enrolled in the military. Thus, she was posted across the Atlantic to America to begin her training.

Anyone still interested in this?


I think so? It's been a couple of months though and been busy because of holidays and the like. I see that most others have not added anything.

Unfortunately, I created this game at a time when I was ill prepared to GM a new story. Also unfortunately, I still don't have the time I thought I would to be the GM. Thanks a lot for you guys' interest. If you'd like, I wouldn't mind if you one of you guys wanted to take this on and actually play it. If one of you feels up to it, you have my full permission.
