War...War Never Changes. The atomic hell fires of man's own hubris razed the planet nearly 200 years ago. Since then, mankind has risen shakily from the ashes, coated in radiation and blood. Its been an unsteady climb to the return of civilization and man still has so far to go. The world is dangerous now, much more dangerous than before. Mutants, Slavers, Raiders, Whatever remains of the Enclave's bitter forces. The New California Republic tries hard as it can to protect its citizens but sometimes it is simply not enough. And sometimes the NCR's more...prolific citizens think the same way. That's where you come in. You are a member of the Ace of Spades Mercenary Company, a group of professional warriors and protectors with one common goal. Caps. The AoS is a new player in the nuclear wasteland and its up to the first members of this new band of soldiers of fortune to make a foothold in the west...



Greetings and welcome to the Ace of Spades! This is a roleplay heavily inspired by the fallout games, specifically Fallout 2. The year is 2270 and you are a member of the Ace of Spades Mercenary Company, a new and upcoming faction lead by a young but experienced warrior. This RP will operate by mission with brief passive sections in between for any development we want to do. For the most part, missions will be pretty balls to the wall action packed. It is my privilege and burden as the GM to create interesting missions and characters for the player characters to interact with. That being said, I have some rules and announcements of positions that need to be addressed.

IC and OOC Positions

IC

Company Logistics Mercenary: Another must have position with some authority. Having this rank will allow me to coordinate with you on the company's resources.

Rules

I'm pretty chill as a GM, but there are things I won't let slide and I might as well set them out in the interest check.

1. No characters under 17. This should go without saying, but this is gonna be a serious and dark RP and even having a character at 17 you'd better have a damn good sheet to go with it. Its not very plausible to be at the level of a professional warrior at only 17 years old.

2. Keep all sexual stuff in PMs. Fluff is fine, but if you want to get funky take it to PM. And if you want to include things like rape in the story, PM me and we'll see if we can do it tactfully and respectfully. But word of warning: I probably won't allow it.

3. Keep any drama out of OOC. We're all buds here, so keep any of your bullshit out of my thread.

4. Ranks Below Company Logistics Mercenary will be based on your sheet and the experience of your character. You may add an Authority Section to display your knowledge of tactics if you want a higher ranked character.

5. Post at least once a week.

That's pretty much it for rules, character stuff will be more case by case since each character is unique.

@DrunkasaurusRex As far as individuals go, you bring your own gear and experience, you try out, you are accepted, you get paid. There might be some minor team tactics training but there's an agreement that you follow orders from your superiors in the code.

As the company does more jobs and gains more individuals with diverse skills, they're resources, such as vehicles, will increase. Right now, the company has a couple brahmin to move gear. I should put that in, good idea.

Company resources have been added, these will change as missions are completed.

The position of Company Logistics Mercenary has been added, PM if interested. We'll need one before we start RP.

Updated the rules to account for the ranks that you don't have to apply for.

@The Survivor Do you have stipulations on post length and frequency?

@BurningCold At least once a week. Post length not so much, but this IS advanced.

@The Survivor I know that it's advanced, but everyone seems to have very different ideas of what that means, and you also have a casual tag on it. I'm wondering if my 2-5 paragraphs per post average is going to be considered unsatisfactory or not, really.

@BurningCold That's fine, I'm not gonna make a big deal out of it lol.

And the results are in! Congratulations to our Co-GM @DrunkasaurusRex for making Executive Mercenary and thank you to @Vilhelm and @bluetommy2 for participating. You two have impressed me still, so I am awarding Senior Staff Mercenary to Vilhelm and Senior Mercenary to Bluetommy! You two are allowed these ranks once you make your character sheet. Vilhelm you are accepted and you may post your character in the character tab. I still have to talk with Rex about his character.

I should get my sheet up sometime this week.

Alright, updated Isaac's sheet to include the rank and adapted history- He's in the sheets tab now. ^^ Looking forward to this getting rolling. :3

Actually, I think I'm going to have to drop out of this, sorry guys.

@bluetommy2 Sorry to hear that, have a good one.

We still going ahead with this? Small groups aren't bad for starting out- and if be willing to make another character or two to fill some slots, or just handle some NPCs until we get more people

Name: Tom "The Hammer" Hartmann

DOB: 1st June, 2242

Description: A solidly built man with black hair and a greying beard, Hartmann wears a battered suit of combat armour under a long grey coat. He often wears a black forage cap.

Hartmann is an experienced combat veteran. In combat he is calm, controlled, and decisive. Out of it he is a level headed man with an often dry wit and acerbic sense of humour.  

Bio: Tom Hartmann was born the son of two members of the shadowy remnants of the US government in the post apocalyptic world, the Enclave. He grew up in a succession of Enclave bases, seeing action in many combat missions against raiders, Super Mutants, and the NCR. In 2269 he joined the Department of the Army's Covert Operations Executive, where he was assigned to infiltrate and destroy an NCR outpost in the Mojave. 

Following the success of the mission, he was assigned to Operation BLACKJACK, tasked with infiltrating the Ace of Spades Mercenary company. Under the codename "CARDSHARK" he serves as a mercenary, fighting under their flag while all the time serving the true masters of America; the Enclave.

Equipment:

AK74 assault rifle
M2019 Detective Special 
Walther PPK (holdout)
