Name: full legal name
Sex: what it says on the tin can
Date of Birth: Ditto.
Aliases & Pseudonyms: what else has your character gone by?
Callsign: leave this blank, I will assign it to you upon your character being accepted
Physical Description: Only describe the physical. Be very detailed, I want height, weight, eye colour, skin colour, hair colour, an ethnic descriptor, signs of age or absence thereof, birthmarks, tattoos, piercings, scars & other blemishes, build, and any other features, particularly distinctive ones. Depending on why you chose to join up A.S. Inc. may have given cosmetic surgeries to you and you should separately describe what your character would look like without it; furthermore any other cosmetics surgeries should also be described (including things like laser tattoo removals). You can attach a picture photographic or art but plz no anime or other "intentionally unrealistic" art styles.
Psych Evaluation: when being hired you'd be forced to sit for a few hours with a shrink, maybe a whole day if uncooperative. You could be a pristine calm individual just looking for a good job, or you could be a nutter that enjoys hurting people. Again try to be detailed, include any conditions you may be diagnosed with mentally, phobias, religion, signs of lingering trauma, addictions, obsessions, etc. At some point describe what made your character decide to become a PMC.
Physical Evaluation: your vision, any physical defects or abnormalities (asthma, diabetes, chronic injuries [i.e. a missing eye or finger, damaged knee, metal hip, hearing aids, etc.])
Medical history & Miscellaneous: any prescriptions you might have and medicines you might take, allergies, illnesses you might have had, blood type, surgeries, and anything else potentially important.
History: Ares would scour the internet along with all public records (and even some private/secret ones) for a mention of you. Social media, news stories, jail/police websites, university records, even potentially interviews with people who know you; with all these things in mind try to reconstruct a history of your character up to the modern day.
Experience: basically a snip from your character's resume. What have they done that makes them a good asset for Ares to hire. If they don't have a lot of formal relevant experience working military and similar jobs, make this a sort of sales pitch your character would write about themselves, i.e. If they fought for some cartel you can say "Shot twenty cops for his boss, then stabbed seven people in prison. Worked with low resources to achieve high results, would achieve more working with sophisticated PMC resources."
Languages: what it says on the tin can. Don't pile them on just because, the average between all characters should be about 2, English being the sole mandatory one. Describe the level of fluency, if there is an accent, etc.
Nationality: list every passport your character holds. If for some reason important (i.e. Your character is a Sri-Lankan passport holder but is a Tamil separatist) list their ethnicity
Position: Field Operator - {choose a role here like canine expert, demolitionist, B&E specialist, interpreter etc. Your character will obviously have many valuable talents, but use the most important things here, try to only put one and at the very most three (unless you are a co-GM, in which case your position will be “Field Manager” and that’s it)}
Kit: For now leave this blank, this’ll only become relevant as time goes on and the company lets you pick and choose what gear you bring. Still, what you receive (ammo, guns, medicine, batteries and equipment that uses them) will be kept track of.
Misc: Anything important but not previously mentioned.
Name: Yekaterina Fedorovna Belyayeva
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: 04/03/1990
Aliases & Pseudonyms: N/A
Callsign: ———
Physical Description: A light-skinned, brown eyed ethnic Russian sporting short brown hair, measuring just under 176 cm and weighing 68 kilograms, Belyayeva is of a slender build, somewhat compensated by muscle, but still noticeably thinner than many others. Has the word “Спарта” (Sparta) tattooed on her left forearm. No piercings or other jewellery. Small scars on the left side of her face from early childhood injury.
Psych Evaluation: Non-confrontational, though prone to pessimism, and prefers to resolve personal conflicts with words and wit, a trait that’s served her well as a platoon sergeant. Confident in her abilities in combat, but not enthusiastic about taking a command position despite experience with leading troops. Adept at improvising. Atheist, smoker, avid reader. Maintains regular contact with her family. Joined Ares Solutions to continue working in the field after a dishonorable discharge from Russian armed forces.
Physical Evaluation:
Despite putting on a few kilos during almost a year out of the force, she would still pass most Spetsnaz requirements (with the exception of maximum age) due to keeping many exercise habits from the service. Her small stature can be an advantage in confined quarters. No sight or hearing correction required.
Medical history & Miscellaneous:
AB+ blood type. Wisdom teeth removed in 2012. Suffered a transverse fracture of her left humerus in 2017 (healed without complications). No allergies, mild ophidiophobia (Reported symptoms: anxiety, increased heart rate).
History:
Born and raised in Saratov. Conscripted at the age of 18 (2008) just in time for the Russo-Georgian War, assigned to 58th Combined Arms Army. Took part in the battle of Tskhinvali. Following the war, she enrolled in the Moscow State Linguistic University faculty of translation and interpretation and graduated in 2013. She remained in the Russian armed forces as a career soldier, voluntarily undergoing breacher training. Accepted for spetsnaz training in 2013 (breaching, language and driving qualifications, recommendation from former company commander, university education).
Assigned to 3rd Guards Spetsnaz Brigade (501st Special Purpose Detachment) based in Tolyatti. Served multiple tours in Syria and Ukraine, including the annexation of Crimea. Promoted to Senior Sergeant in late 2016, serving as platoon sergeant. In 2018, a controlled detonation of a hostile munitions cache went awry and swept away a not-insignificant portion of a close by village, leading to casualties among a different Spetsnaz team. Although she avoided a negligent manslaughter charge, as her squad didn't have an explosive ordnance specialist and therefore shouldn’t have been ordered to carry out such a task, media quickly learned of the incident and Belyayeva was dishonorably discharged in January 2019 so the Kremlin could claim something had been done about the mess. Spent several months tutoring english before being approached by Ares Solutions.

Callsign:
Physical Description: Dark skinned, stood tall at a height of six foot and four inches with a solid physicality of generally undefined but evidently trained and maintained muscularity. Marred by a perpetually pensive visage, sporting dark muddy brown eyes and a head sprouting healthy black hair typically kept in check: cut to compliance, sporting a beard shaven down to a few millimetres with their hair formed back and squared away in some form of faded cut. A tattoo of an Orthodox Church connected to a spider's web covers their left pectoral.
- Though Afro-Eurasian of Yoruba, Kazakh and Ukrainian descent, their apparent ethnicity is very much African barely taking on their mother's mixed, bordering Asian centric features.
Psych Evaluation: Overwhelmingly mundane in many regards, as a former government worker they've retained much of their personal integrity and ability in regards to the necessary compartmentalisation of information. With an evaluation that simply manages to expose how calm their daily life typically is in comparison to what he described as an unnecessarily action packed youth. Despite having a solid militant background has expressed a preference for quieter assignments though with a willingness and ability to perform in hazardous environments.
Physical Evaluation: Maintained strength and overall physicality from first joining the company though marginally slower than younger contractors. No longer as young as they once were, chooses to wear glasses, typically when reading or writing.
Medical history & Miscellaneous: Nominal doctor appointments with exception of one hospital trip after being struck by a chair during a bar fight at 25. Four documented surgeries as a result of combat related injuries all of which have healed - minute inflexibility in upper left shoulder. O+ blood type
History: Born in then-Soviet Ukraine to Kiev based university students - a Kazakh-Ukrainian mother and a Nigerian father, moving to Saint Petersburg shortly before the Soviet Union's collapse -- settling shakily as citizens of the newly established Federation. Frequently carted to grandparents in both Nigeria and Kazakhstan from a young age. Maintained satisfactory grading through multiple tiers of education. Conscripted into service, experiencing regular racial abuse and prejudice, despite this went on to sign for permanent service and eventually attend selection for special purpose forces. Attended a myriad of language proficiency classes prior to deploying to an array of theatres - both foreign and internal. After a lengthy tenure in an operational capacity, retired from service at the rank of Senior Lieutenant, briefly working at the Russian Embassy in Nigeria before taking up contracting with Ares Solutions.
Experience: Served in special purpose forces under the direction of the Russian Government deployed to multiple zones of crisis throughout the EMEA regions either embedded with foreign forces or independently (with team) on protracted surveillance assignment. Participating in direct action/reconnaissance or advising local Russia aligned militant groups.
- Five years Russian Airborne Troops.
- Undisclosed period Main Intelligence Directorate.
- Six years Foreign Intelligence Service.
- One year employed by Ares Solutions.

Name: Connor Karmyle
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: 22/2/1982
Aliases & Pseudonyms: N/A
Callsign:
Physical Description: Average of height and with a good, standard build and endurance, Connor is a dark skinned male with a light complexion and prominent facial bone structures. His eyes are hazel and subtly almond shaped with a slight tilt to his left eye in comparsion to his right. Like men of his background, he has flared nostrils and full lips. His hair is standard with a faded style along the temporal flanks, and a lightly maintained shaved beard around his face. There are several surgical scars over his body. There is a birthmark on the inside of his left arm roughly resembling an apple. He has several tattoos throughout his body. The hippocratic oath in stylized script on his right flank and a number of converging tattoos on his right arm making a half sleeve. Which includes what appears to be a crowned dove with a letter in its beak, a pair of hands in prayer, a skull with a rose in one eye, and a Rod of Asclepius over an angel carying a dead woman.
Psych Evaluation: Egotistical tendencies compensating for what is assumed to be multiple traumas from medical school and surgical residency. There are signs of pathological stress in the form of anxiety, depression, and possible deep-seeded PTSD from career choice. Otherwise, subject is no different from any other surgeon. The subject has shown signs of aggressive tendencies, perhaps due to the stress, but should be noted it is most likely self-limited. He has shown no other remarkable qualities other than his distinct acumen for anatomy and surgery in particular. Part of his reasons for joining Ares is suspected to be due to ego, as there is no other discernible to go back in armed forces considering his current income. It may also be suspected it is due to thrill seeking, not dissimilar to an adrenaline junkie, or even a combination with his ego.
Physical Evaluation: Endurance is perhaps the greatest quality in terms of physical fitness. Physical strength is slightly above average and maintains a great physicality. Though he has poor eyesight and requires corrective lenses in order to see adequately.
Medical history & Miscellaneous: A+ blood type. Has had a total knee replacement due to a gym-related injury. Has had an appendectomy done at the age of 24, but otherwise has an unremarkable medical history.
History: Was born in Toronto, Ontario to two doctors. A family medicine physician and an orthopedic surgeon. Early school reports show consistently high marks throughout his school life. Several interviews with friends and family have indicated he was pushed into many extra-curricular activies by his parents, including sports, charity groups, and was part of the student council in his high school. He joined the Canadian Forces after high school where they paid for his tuition in college and medical school, and afterwards trained him as a Medical Officer. After serving a number of years he retired to become a trauma surgeon in a newly built hospital owned by his parents. After working several years as a surgeon, he joined up with Ares.
Experience: Has served five years as a Medical Officer in the Canadian Forces and was deployed to various active zones throughout the world. Most of his deployments were relegated to staying on base and keeping injured soldiers alive, along with a number of extraction missions.

@Starboard Watch hey man, do I still got your interest in this?
Name: Frederik van der Westhuizen
Sex: Male
Date of Birth: March 7th, 1987
Aliases & Pseudonyms: The Boer
Callsign: Cronus
Physical Description: Male of Afrikaner origin. Stands at 6'1" (185cm) in height and weighs roughly 220lbs (99kg). Short regulation-cutblonde hair with blue eyes. No scars upon his body, but his hands show signs of toil and work throughout his life. He has a tattoo on his right shoulder of the flag of the Orange Free State (Oranje-Vrystaat). He also has a tattoo across his breast that says Eendragt maakt magt, which in English means 'Unity makes Strength' and was the motto of the Union of South Africa
Psych Evaluation: Frederik v.d. Westhuizen is a man out of time. In an older age, he would've joined the Boer insurgents against the British Empire or would've gone to the neighboring Rhodesia to fight the Communists crossing the Zambezi, or perhaps he would've joined his countrymen in fighting in South-West Africa. Instead, he is a foreigner in the country of his birth and lacks purpose in life that doesn't involve fighting. While he will never openly admit it, he has an extreme distaste for those who he sees as "destroying his homeland." While born and baptized in the Afrikaner Calvinist tradition, he is an open Pagan and professes belief in the old Gods. He is an academic, an intellectual, and a ruthless killer. He embodies the Byronic 'cultured thug.'
Physical Evaluation: Frederik v.d. Westhuizen is, for his age, in top physical condition. His knees are showing the signs of strain from years of carrying heavy packs and carrying a rifle, but he bears through the dull pain with a smile. It can be assessed, however, the he only has a few more years of fighting-service left in him before he will have to hang up his rifle for good.
Medical history & Miscellaneous: O-Negative blood type. No allergies. No medication taken. Possibly suffering from the beginning stages of arthritis.
History: Frederik v.d. Westhuizen was born on a farm somewhere outside Bloemfontein in the Orange Free State of the Union of South Africa in the height of the Apartheid-era. His youth is shrouded in mystery but it can be assumed that he spent most of it assisting his family on the farm, tending to their livestock and learning the habit of hard work that would follow him throughout his life.
When he was less than ten years old, the Afrikaner regime fell away and gave way to the ANC-dominated South Africa, and his family soon found themselves open to attack from roving gangs of thieves and raiders. His father taught him in the ways of the rifle, repelling many attacks on the family farm by these raiders with no assistance from the police force, which had so abandoned the Afrikaners in favor of the new regime's attitudes. His family considered selling the farm and leaving, but they decided to stay in South Africa.
As a teenager, he eagerly joined the Afrikaner Weerstandsbeweging (AWB, or the Afrikaner Resistance Movement) and took part in gang fighting against the Xhosa and Khosians who were opposed to the Afrikaners. His father disapproved of this violent group that he had fallen in with, but not much could convince Frederik of his conviction of Afrikaner nationalism. The Government had not only failed them, not only abandoned them, but outright hated them. There was no other choice.
His final push came when his family farm was finally set ablaze in the early 2000s, nearly killing his entire family and forcing them to leave South Africa altogether. As they packed their bags and set a course for Australia, he remained in South Africa to wage an inner-and-outer war for the liberation of his people.
He appears next when he moved to the city of Orania in 2013, amidst the controversy surrounding the city after the South African Government criticized it for being the last bastion of Afrikaner culture. It appears he left the service of the armed-wing of the AWB and took up a job as a farmhand. This did not last for long, however, as in 2017 he quit his job and disappeared into the Northern Cape with friends who were associates in the AWB.
It is assumed that he and these men were responsible for terror attacks against South African police stations in the Northern Cape, but nothing can be proven for certain. He next appears in Switzerland in mid-2019, after being contracted by Ares Solutions to join their company, which he eagerly signed up with to gain more money to continue the fight in South Africa.
Experience: He is an experienced terror fighter, having grown experienced in guerilla warfare tactics during his time with the AWB. Living off of the woods in the Northern Cape, and being trained to build IEDs and other devices, he is a skilled warfighter.

Name: Tess Coghlan
Sex: Female
Date of Birth: October 8th 1990
Aliases & Pseudonyms: Cora O'Beirne, Ava Horan & Fia Muckley (all prior aliases, no longer used).
Callsign: Blank-o
Physical Description: Subject naturally very fair skinned, described as ‘pale’. Height 5ft9in. Weight 129lbs. Slight yet athletic build. Eyes green, hair red – lengthy with shaved lower right side, numerous freckles – Irish ethnic decent very clear. Extremely noticeable facial scarring covering left cheek, descends down over chin to left shoulder. Several old and faded tattoos covering both arms and upper back, most noticeably featuring the words ‘Tiocfaidh ár lá’ across a large cláirseach(harp) – a tattoo heavily associated with the Irish nationalist movement. Several more deep scars covering shoulders and back, slightly obscuring cláirseach and motto.
Psych Evaluation: Subject clearly ‘anti-establishment’ with little regard for authority and oversight. She has abandoned practically all prior beliefs and affiliations due to ‘disillusionment’ which has left her a rather sarcastic and pessimistic temperament and a reluctance to form deeper or lasting relationships. Subject continues to carry resentment over her ‘recruitment’ into Ares Solutions, though financial incentive seems sufficient to keep her ‘in line’ (more so than the threat of incarceration should she refuse). Subject has noteworthy phobias involving constriction following violent interrogation methods endured (cause of substantial facial and body scarring). Subject has no real ‘personal life’ to speak of and maintains no known connections outside of Ares. Despite the above subject thus far is an ideal asset, following instructions in the field to the letter and having little issue dealing with the less tasteful elements of some jobs. Further psychiatric evaluation recommended.
Physical Evaluation: Subject has exceptional endurance, an experienced long distance runner. Though lacking in physical strength due to slight build, is proficient in several martial arts styles (Boxing, Krav Maga & Jiu-Jitsu). Weak left wrist due to repeated breaks & fractures.
Medical history & Miscellaneous: B+ blood type. Subject has several allergies (pollen, animal hair, latex & aspirin) and regularly takes powerful antihistamines to prevent reactions. Subject has broken left wrist twice and suffered repeated fractures causing occasional pain and discomfort.
History: Born in Cork, Ireland, she began interacting with groups associated with elements of the Irish Republican Army(IRA) sometime in Early 2005 and became involved in several criminal enterprises linked to fund raising activities. Became affiliated with an extremist splinter group in 2007 following refusals to ‘stand down’. The group later claimed responsibility for several covered up bombings and killings, most notably of the former military figure [redacted] in April 2008. Several years later the group was eliminated in a classified SAS operation, however she was not present at the time and had not thus far been sufficiently linked by UK intelligence operations to warrant further pursuit.
This survival led her to become the target of her former associates and in December 2009 she was ‘interrogated’ extensively – leading to the knife scarring covering her face and parts of her body. Leaving behind all prior affiliations sometime in 2010 she became a member of a purely criminal enterprise based in Malta with international scope. She spent time as a ‘contractor’ mostly in Latin America and Africa and gained actual combat experience over several years. In 2016 her team suffered extensive losses during a ‘job’ in Mali, Africa – resulting in her capture by French Special Forces. It was quickly established that the small European group were not militants and she spent an unpleasant two and a half years behind bars as a prisoner that didn’t officially exist as various governmental elements negotiated over her status. Ares Solutions determined at this time that she could be an asset. Following substantial evaluation and negotiations she was transferred into their care and her prior records disappeared (with the clear proviso that they would return should she be less than a model employee).
Experience:Though lacking in direct traditional military training she has worked alongside many ex-military individuals and has sufficient field combat experience most notably gained from 2010-2016. Subject has notable skills in:
• Firearms proficiency. Very skilled marksman, initially received training from ‘retired’ Irish Paramilitaries. Training continued notably by former US Marine amongst others.
• Resourcefulness. Subject’s unconventional past has provided her with varied and thorough skills outside of the normal ‘military’ scope. Despite lack of traditional support frequently achieves objectives with determination.
• Guerrilla Warfare. Initially trained by members of the ‘Real IRA’ she has not forgotten the techniques and methodology taught to her. Also skilled in the creation of many types of IEDs. She may lack the more modern and up to date skills of a ‘demolitions’ role. Her skills could be called crude but effective.
• Intimidation. Through her experience in criminal enterprises she has become quite effective at being an intimidating or downright terrifying force when she needs to be (despite her more slight and feminine build). With little more than a weapon she can cross language barriers and convince most that they need to do as they are told or face a very unpleasant consequences.

@Sam Quint a great sheet, which is why I kind of feel terrible having to tell you this: the continuation of this RP is somewhat dubious, however if it does continue it'll be a while before your character can jump in since we're in the middle of an operation
however if I do close this I'll very soon follow it up with two slightly more focused and rigorous RPs about PMCs, one focusing on Blackwater Inc. you can likely cash in on with a slight rework of that dude if its any consolation.
