LT. SAMANTHA 'Scorch' HAMMOND

Making this audio log for the record, Legs fucked. Captain says it's just a 'flesh wound'. What a fucking understatement considering he just pulled a burning piece of jet fuselage out of it and it looks like a charred turkey dinner, the pains unbearable and he's already stabbed it with about two separate morphine injectors... Yet here he is making some sort of joke about our current situation, then again I don't blame him, all you can do is nervously laugh off the imminent possibility of death. Don't know when I'll be able to walk out of here, pretty sure he's going to have to carry me. I can already see on his face that he's taking that thought pretty badly, especially since we are being hunted by the Vasps since the moment they shot down Icarus and us with her. We weren't expecting any resistance, especially since we were flying under the radar. I don't know what the Captain thinks about our current situation but I'm sure someone tipped them off and now they either want to interrogate us or shoot us both in the head as an example to our superiors back in Amira. It's so cold here in Vaspikova this time of year that I can feel my toes freeze up, we need to move soon before it's too late."
"Lisa, sweetheart if I don't make it home, remember that your mom loves you."
This role-play takes place in a fictional world which closely resembles our own. The year is 2018 and two of the planets largest superpowers, Amira an incredibly powerful militaristic union of independent democratic states and Vaspikova an aged frozen wasteland basing themselves on communist ideals to the north find themselves in a cold war, a frozen conflict that has endured 2 years of failed diplomacy and unconfirmed combat skirmishes leaving them in a stalemate, yet the risk of all-out war is imminent as tensions grow high.
You play as the male captain character in a duo of Amiran B1B Lancer Bomber Pilots. You will work alongside lieutenant Samantha Hammond, your weapon systems officer and co-pilot played by yours truly to survive in a hazardous winter environment after your reconnaissance and tactical bombing operation goes horribly wrong and you are forced to eject directly into enemy territory.
In this role-play our characters will work together to survive both the wilderness and the Vaspikovan forces hunting them, growing a bond with each-other and learning more about each-other as time progresses which in part will prepare them for a point in the RP where they are both captured and put into a POW camp, this is where the gradual bond they had built throughout the role-play will test their true trust in each-other as they uncover a deeper plot to the war and a few twists along the way.
Included in this roleplay will be several AI side characters, some of them may be included from the start yet others later on in the roleplay. I'm also a creative roleplayer so reference pictures and music will be placed accordingly to each scene. The roleplay will also be at a casual to advanced level and I'd hope that you could match your word count with my own!
I only have a few requirements of you!
Please understand that this Roleplay will have mature themes such as Violence, Swearing and the horrors of war among others.
Please be realistic with your character, you are not a super soldier and you are susceptible to fear and pain like any other human.
If you intend on using art which is greatly welcome! :) Please only use realistic art, no Anime or anything similar.
If you plan on leaving or taking a break that's no problem! Just let me know before you do :)
The larger plot and character introductions/sheets will all be explained and revealed when we pair up!
Please PM me if you are interested and feel free to ask me any questions you wish! Also if you have any suggestions or idea's, please bounce them off me! This is 'our' RP and I want it to be enjoyable for us both.
