[OOC] StarCraft 2: Insurrection

[WardenCelestine]

Music to set the mood.

Liberation Day has begun upon Mar Sara. While part of Raynor's Raiders are planning a major blow against the Terran Dominion by taking the logistics headquarters at Backwater Station, a squad of elite Raynor's Raiders are preparing to assault a command center that is used by the Terran Dominion to relay important information to all units and stations upon the planet. Capturing this command center will not only severely cripple the Terran Dominion upon the planet but also give the rebels access to valuable information. The command center is located many miles away from Backwater station in an area known as Hellslake, a hazardous area of land that use to be a massive lake. If the squad plays their cards right, all communications will be shut down and a large amount of information about the Dominion, will be acquired.

The Story so far.

The Koprulu sector has had a troublesome and bloody past, filled with strife and worry that spread through all who live within its boundaries. To this day, many of these hardships remain with the oppressive Terran Dominion and the fear of the merciless Zerg threat that lingers in the stars. Many years have passed since the last sighting of Raynor's Raiders in the Koprulu sector, but soon they will be at the forefront once more with Raynor leading them, helping to fan the fires of rebellion.

[Location]: Aboard the Behemoth-class battlecruiser Hyperion.

[Date]: October - 2504 - 13:31

[Planet]: In orbit above Mar Sara.

"Five minutes untill dropship departure, assigned crewmembers are to gather their equipment and report to the hanger immediately." The Hyperions Adjutant was currently giving orders over the ship's com's rather than Matt. Word had come a few days ago from Raynor to kick the revolution into overdrive with a number of other more specific orders regarding Mar Sara and the Dominion forces upon it. The ship was alive with movement as each crewmember carried out these orders swiftly and to the letter. There would be no mistakes and everything would run smoothly, if Raynor's Raiders had anything to say about it. The feeling of excitement and anxiousness filled every corridor and room of the Hyperion, they had been waiting for this moment for many years, and now their plans were about to be carried out in full.

Inside of the hanger, a small squad of elite Raynor's Raiders had gathered alongside normal Terran Marines that were prepping for departure. Each of the elite soldiers had unique gear compared to the next, showing off their rank and importance as well as their specialty. One of these elite soldiers was inspecting the interior of the Quantradyne APOD-33 dropship they would be taking to the planet's surface, separate from the one that Raynor and the other Terran Marines would be taking. She wore a more slim version of the Terran Marine armor that she had customized to help with her advanced combat role. It had been painted a digital camo that was black and grey with custom skeletal figure decals across it.

"Additional equipment is secure and ready for departure, once we get the all clear, we will be on our way." The other elite soldiers nodded at Solares before moving onto the dropship and finishing checking over their gear for the last time. A few moments passed before Matt H. could be heard over the ship's coms, telling everyone that the dropships were now cleared to launch. Making a circle motion with her hand, Solares motioned for the dropship pilot to close the back door and departed. Everything happened in a moments notice, both of the ships were now flying beside each other while their occupants went over their orders once more.

Raynor was on the first shuttle with the normal Terran Marines, while Solares and her crew were alone with the pilots who flew them. In a quick but smooth movement, both ships broke off and went their own way. The voice of Raynor wishing all of them the best of luck and that they would meet up for drinks and a meal once they had completed their missions upon Mar Sara. In a few seconds, neither of the ships could see each other with the naked eye. "We will arrive shortly, prepare to departe, follow my orders and this will go smoothly." said Solares before she took her own seat and strapped herself in. In a few short moments, the dropship would arrive at its destination, using the cover of a violent sandstorm to hide their dropoff.

"Alright, back door is opening, good luck down there raiders! Let me know when pick up is required." said the main pilot as she pressed a button upon the control panel in front of her. As soon as the door opened, the back of the shuttle was filled with a fine dark red sand that swirled around Solares and her squad violently. Each of the members of Solares's squad would jump out of the back of the shuttle, taking turns, gracefully landing upon the hard dirt ground below them. Solares was the last to depart from the shuttle, grabbing onto her C-15 Gauss rifle as soon as she hit the ground. The shuttle quickly left them and ascended into the sky, vanishing from sight and leaving them on their own for now. At long last, it was time to bring vengeance upon the Dominion.

GM Welcome

Hello and welcome to StarCraft 2: Insurrection! This RP takes place at the same time frame of StarCraft 2 Wings of Liberty. The RP will start at the same time that Raynor and his raiders are on the mission known as Liberation Day. There will be little canon interaction, I like to avoid messing around with characters of the such, when I can help it. As the small introduction to the story above says, a Terran Marine known as Solares is currently leading an elite team of Raynors Raiders on an important side mission while Raynor and a number of other normal Terran Marines work to destroy and Dominion Logistics center. Your character will be one of these elite Raynors Riaders that have been dropped off by a Quantradyne APOD-33 dropship at Hellslake, not far from where their objective, a large Dominion Command center, is waiting to be infiltrated. My main character Solares is leading this elite Raynors Raiders team for the moment and will be giving out orders shortly. As a side note, if there are any questions, constructive criticism, or concerns, please let me know.

"Go to war, then start training an army, there's some sound logic." - Solares

EDIT #3: Fixed some grammar and spelling errors.

[Andreyich]

1) Can my hardskin and gauss rifle be of UED model so it would be more or less of Warpig or higher quality?

2) Can my sidearms be SC1 style deagle/python thingies?

[WardenCelestine]

@Andreyich Yes and yes.

[NecroKnight]

@Andromedai

So. As long as it can be a ground unit, we can make it as a character?

[WardenCelestine]

Non-vehicle Terran ground unit, yes. (An example would be a Terran Marine, Medic, Ghost, and so on.)

Firebug

Name: Nick Knack

Age: 45

Sex: All the time. 45

Class: Firebug

Equipment: CMC-660 Heavy Combat Suit (modified to withstand extreme temperatures and damage)
C-140 Epyon, a standard issue flamethrower from during the brood war. It has been custom made to be on par with the current double-barreled flamethrower in terms of power but it largely more reliable. A benefit of not exploding when the fuel line is severed or impacted violently. Two mode fire. One is a standard flame from gas, the other is a plasma fuel source. The secondary fire is more effective on armored zerg but Nick does not have a large amount of ammunition on him so it is used sparingly.

Tell us a little bit about your character: Nick did piss poor in school and never bothered completing anything but his highschool diploma. Became a volunteer fire fighter in his twenties, became a soldier in his thirties, and became an accredited Firebug 2 years later.
Despite being a complete idiot when it came to practical math, literature, even his speech suffers from poor education sometimes, the mans last name was given for his peculiar expertise with incendiary type weapons. Nick was given a newer suit and discarded it as trash before downgrading to an outdated model, from there he created the suit he uses today through salvage and expensive sellers. He was soundly absorbed into Raynor's Raiders somewhere in the last 5 years

But he gets the job done in half the time. If you need something burned down, blown up, scorched and scrapped, you need only ask someone in charge. They've got a Knack for that kind of thing.

Well, look at that, the OOC is up. Groovy, its CS time.

Ansgar Staudinger

Name:
Ansgar Staudinger

Appearance:


Age:
41

Sex:
Male

Class:
Colonial Marshall

Equipment
C10 Canister Rifle
Custom Slugthrower Sidearm
Balisong

Personality:
Ansgar is a strange man, by all accounts, doubly so considering his status as a Marshall. He is one to waive the rules and regulations if it means getting a job done properly, often times sweeping things under the rug or otherwise overlooking things that, while by all accounts illegal, certainly are better than the alternative. This makes him quite the target for hard liners, which lead to his colonial posting to get him farther away from anywhere he could make progress. Ansgar is never perturbed by this at all, rather, as long as he can keep getting things done, that is all he is concerned about. The perfect definition of a pragmatic soul, if its something he can do, and it will accomplish his goal, he will do it without a second thought. Nor will he feel bad about it later, after all, he is doing what he has to, and that is all there is to it. Even though this puts him at odds with hard line soldiers who follow orders to the letter, and idealists who would follow the rules and expect things to still work out well.

[WardenCelestine]

@Eisenhorn Approved, please post your CS in the CS section.

[Ollumhammersong]

Name: Sebastian Vosk

Appearance:

Age: 26

Sex: Male

Class: Marine

Equipment CMC-400 power armour, C-14 Gauss rifle, Frag Grenadesx 3, Flash Grenade, EMP Grenade

Tell us a little bit about your character: Sebastian is the definition of a Prime young buck. Eager and seemingly invincible(at least in his mind) and clad in the impenetrable armour of youth and confidence. He joined the rebellion very young age, motivated primarily by youthful zeal and the idea of 'the cause' of the underdog standing up to the tyrant and giving him a bloody nose and a black eye.

For the first years of serving with the Raiders Sebastian displayed an over-eagerness that was sometimes detrimental to his superiors carefully laid out plans. He is always raring to go with a burst of energy, a smile on his lips and a deep laugh always ready to spill up from his belly. In short he is a hothead, a risk taker and as the last few years on board the hyperion have proven, a reasonably successful ladies man.

Some of his fellows have likened his seemingly endless well of energy and stamina to him being on a permanent stimpak of some kind. He almost never seems to run out of juice, always having that extra burst needed to push himself through when its needed. Another gift of youth many believe.

A few years experience with the Raider's (and getting chewed out weekly) have tempered his more rambunctious nature from what he was when he first joined. Oh he is still that prime, eager young lad capable of trying anything and everything that even remotely resembles a challenge. But He is more controllable and predictable than he used to be six years ago. Hard earned experience in combat and hard times have given him fewer reasons to laugh his deep rumbling laugh lately. It made him more considering of his actions and how they can endanger or effect those around him and as a result, tempered him somewhat. And his lady-killer ways have toned down to the delight (and dissapointment) of some on board the Hyperion. More specifically they have honed onto one pretty lady in particular. Someone who has kept his attentions for an uncharacteristically long period of time.

But he still tries to make a quip here or a joke there to keep things light in the face of batshit crazy reality he lives in. Refusing to let go of the brevity that has become his reputation, And he still is prone to taking risks and rushing headlong into danger with little provocation and not nearly as much consideration as he should be giving.

@Ollumhammersong Approved, please post your CS in the CS section.

[Ollumhammersong]

I shall do so after work! And after D&d.....

[WardenCelestine]

@Ollumhammersong Sounds good, thank you.

[NecroKnight]

Name: Janek Morrison

Appearance:

Age: 42

Sex: Female

Class: Wrangler

Equipment C-10 Rifle Model Mk. V-Custom/Laser-sight, 20x scope, Muzzle Silencer. Two P30 pistols, Flak Armor Vest (5 Lockdown rounds, 2 explosive rounds, 1 gas round)

Tell us a little bit about your character: Janek Morrison had been the textbook definition of a cynical worker. Due to her psi-rating, she had been recruited into the Ghost Program from childhood - yet her rating was too weak to be turned, trained and later mind-wiped into a true Ghost.

Instead she was delegated to handling, locating and if need be, capturing children for the Ghost program. For fifteen years she had served first under the Terran Confederancy. She didn't like her job anymore than her life - since in essence, she was paid to kidnap children, or that was what she told her future drinking buddies. When the Confederancy fell - she took the opportunity to flee, while setting any children still left in the facility free. And the lobotomized zerglings loose on the guards.

Janek once contemplated joining the Terran Dominion - yet soon was disgusted, when they proved no better than the nation they had burned to the ground. Instead she joined up with Raynor' Raiders and for five years had been the main-girl to keep any Dominion Ghost from messing or trying to assassinate anyone amongst the Raiders.

Badass Earth Edgelord

Name: First Lieutenant Richard Fleikhoff

Appearance:



Age: 61

Sex: Man

Class: Smith (Marine)

Equipment: UED model advanced Combat Suit (kept in near-perfect condition with his Lieutenant's barn on one shoulder and the shield of the Directorate on the other), C-150 Ronin Pistol and C-141 AC Gauss Rifle (basically the standard issue things a UED Marine would get) along with seven frag grenades.

Tell us a little bit about your character:
He was born in the UPL, the predecessor to the United Earth Directorate in one of the few countries that was still not in the fold of it's nations where he was a career soldier and had happily married and had children. Eventually with the discovery of Protoss, Zerg and the revelation of the experiment to send all sorts of prisoners long ago and their arrival to Koprulu the UED was made, and the last few independent nations on Earth joined it. Richard joined the expeditionary force to Koprulu where he fought for earth and glory like the idealist he was.

However, the war got bad for the original Terrans and they fled. Richard did not make the evacuation to the battlecruisers but instead made it to some dropships which instead of going to earth went as far from the zerg as possible. Eventually he dropped off in Umoja where he ambled around as a bouncer and sat depressed that he would never see his comrades or friends again.

After a few years he got up and after some drunken flying left and right landed on Mar Sara, drifting about the deserts waiting to turn himself in to the first group that saw him be it the Raiders or Dominion. By chance it was the Raider's who took the man in and interrogated him as to why he came. He explained that there was nothing left for him, and he simply gave up on everything. Eventually, after much internal deliberation he agreed and grudgingly became one of the Raiders.

Now, he fights along the people he only a few years ago killed en-masse, although the Dominion is the same old enemy it was before. He doesn't have a single bit of the fanaticism and ideology of the other raiders, but in battle maintains a steady professionalism that got him to be a Lieutenant on Earth.

With the Purification Project on Earth there were no cybernetic nor genetic enhancements to be had, so he is in essence a "pure" human. However he does not lag behind the stimm saturated Marines of Koprulu, him being a career soldier, having a great and rich diet on Earth, so on and so forth. He has bouts of near suicidal depression and crying as his new home is "this God-fucked shithole they call Koprulu."
