Hey fellas, glad you stopped by. Having played through some vidya games recently (CoDMW, Max Payne, Escape from Tarkov, and a few others) I have had my mind oversaturated with certain ideas, themes, thoughts, etc. mainly regarding Private Military Companies, colloquially known simply as Mercenaries and after a few weeks of thought I decided to make this.
Contrary to the small blurb at the top, you won’t necessarily be formerly a former government employee of sorts for your military experience. You’ll be any sort of former badass, probably as mentioned above a former soldier, police officer, or something else, but just as easily you might have been a nutjob in some political paramilitary, a gang thug, or perhaps a rebel of some sort; so long as you have relevant experience to PMCs you will be suitable.
Officially you are employees working for Ares Solutions, a company officially based in Switzerland doing simple security contracts: protecting celebrities from kidnappings, oil refineries from terrorists, and small nations from revolutions. Officially. In reality, you're another version of Blackwater or Wagner group; you just have a lot better PR. Journalists from all countries have mysteriously disappeared often never to reemerge after starting investigations on Ares Solutions, but before they do they have many allegations. Some claim they are an accountability-free strongarm for nations around the world from America to Russia to China, these conflicting claims all apparently having some credible proofs. Ares Solutions has been in warzones and other armed hotspots from the Middle East, to South-East Asia, Latin America, and even South-Eastern Europe and Africa. All sorts of specialists are required for the company’s clandestine work: cyberwarfare experts, medic, private investigators, snipers, squad machines gunners, trackers, and others. Whether it was because you were to be court-martialled for a crime you didn’t commit, because you just wanted the great money, or because you didn’t pass the psych evaluation for the army there is a reason you were sent an offer from A.S. Inc. which you accepted.
Now, some housekeeping. This RP is advanced. That means any post requires at least three paragraphs, with quality & detail. It is largely going to be action oriented, although this will vary on your character being from about 50% to as high as 95%. There will be intense violence and darker themes so obviously be 18+. This is an action oriented neo-noir movie, where you're not the main character but definitely important ones. Not everything will add up perfectly add up and be accurate to the t. But! There'll be internal consistency with strong realism and you'll be punished for trying to leeroy-jenkins an MG nest. This is set in the real world in the year 2020 albeit with a few fictional locations thrown in here and there — with that said, though current events will be somewhat impactful I ask everyone to be impartial and separate RP and their character from themselves and their opinions/poltiics. I need three people to express interest for it to get off the ground, and without someone signing up to be a co-GM(s) I can support an absolute maximum of eight players. I will be expecting posts once every week, wherein you must warn me if you can’t keep up “or else.”
With that, I hope to see interest!
