We're up and running.
Foxtrot Oscar (FO) is a mysterious task force, working against the forces of international anarchist terrorist groups in the near future, often who are armed with quite fantastical and advanced technology- or nefarious political aims. Al-Qaeda it isn't, so in come our operatives. In a world where mechs are prototypes, exoskeletons, jump-packs, optical cloaking and various other technologies are around the corner, the tide is coming in....and FO stands in its path.
Where an SF team cannot penetrate, they come in. When a politician needs to go, they come in. When you have eight foot mechanized armored soldiers trying to breach a high-security Gulag and you need those fuckers removed, they come in. Foxtrot Oscar views the world as a little too conventional, and when things are beyond the sanity of any force on the planet, they exist just to keep things from spilling over. They're the people that stop the world ending as we know it. Problem is, they're a little dysfunctional- and well, they're not all the most....professional of soldiers. Or spies, or agents, or well, anyone who is capable of getting involved.
So, they are beyond what you would normally call a sane bunch of men and women, but are what little stands between some of the most technologically advanced and well armed forces of natures nobody even hears about on the news from making the world a miserable place. Not just "terrorists". Far more sinister forces are at work, and sending Delta Force or the SAS is no longer the solution. For an asymmetrical and superior force, you need your own mirror. But you're gonna have a band of entertaining misfits if you want the best of the best. A lot of people who don't play to the rules, or make their own. This fractuous team is Foxtrot Oscar- and you're invited for the ride.
Sometime in the near future, your character was ex-Special Forces, ex-Mercenary, ex-whatever. But they were picked, selected even, and thrown into Foxtrot Oscar for a very good reason. They were more than just a regular operator, soldier, asset, mercenary. They were far beyond that. Picked into a unit that defends from the threats that cannot even be taken by the world's most secure security agencies on as a sane solution, to make sure that the world sleeps tight and doesn't turn into a violent fireball. Without it even coming on the nightly news. Oh, and of course, being a little less than conventional. To keep evil bastards away from innocent people, look no further than to Foxtrot Oscar. And there is a bigger threat than they've ever faced before coming.

Character Sheet and Intro:
Remember, your character fits in a certain class of elite operator- while eccentric, there's a little rooting to make them at least somewhat human, right? Your character didn't volunteer for FO- they got picked, likely drugged and dragged in through the door. A Special Forces soldier, a Mercenary, an elite assasin, a master spy, even a gangster, hell, Raven Squad seems to draw a variety of people in but they're the best at that thing they do, and that is stopping a threat to the globe.
Threatened with the option of having the memory removed of even being pulled in and left on the street or joining the team, plus going through a gruelling five days of preliminary selection called the "The Devil's Cooker" (that breaks almost 90% of the people that have ever been selected to join), your character is very, very capable. Something on the level of an double-length triathlon in a physical test, coupled to intense mental, psychological and technical tests and training, from firearm use to hand to hand potency that really defines your character as next level, truly unbreakable and unfailling under pressure. The drug dose usually knocks any that fail back to their usual reality, but for those who make it, they are selected to join.
Consider that a high bar for your character's entry. If they made it that far, they joined the very insignificantly small number of individuals capable of having the most advanced technology and equipment known to the world's intelligence agencies at their disposal, and the responsibility of saving the world....rather too frequently.
--------------
Background:
Not much is known about Foxtrot Oscar as an organisation- only that it has shadowy links to the previous "Team Scimitar", a prior semi-independent mercenary group that similarly fought against a range of terrorist threats and organisations.
Though since those days, plenty has evolved in terms of technology and equipment used- and the organisation appears to silently select those who it wants through a contact named "Oracle", who recruits operators on a selective basis. FO after all, is the boogeyman that spies, special forces and various government agencies can't even confirm exists.
Based out of a formerly abandoned mining facility high in the Swiss Alps, FO has access to a short runway, as well as a bunker complex built into the side of the mountain- housing a firing range, armoury, R&R facilities (including a pool, of all things!), training rooms and brefing facilities that allow it to be a home away from home- out of sight and visuals from prying eyes.
