I will not waste much time with chewing trough basic RP rules with and for you. Though this is marked as a casual RP please be detailed. Your character should be legit and with a comprehensible background. As you probably guessed from the IC post already you got three grand options; be a member of the military in Bangkok, a member of Spectre or a member of any intelligence service that was operating there. That is pretty much it, I will update this with new factions and missions as the RP goes.
Like mentioned this will be a plot loosely based on the events of Call of Duty´s Modern Warfare series and Battlefield´s part 3 and 4. I will desist from creating large battles, as there is little room for our character to act and interact. Instead I will put the focus on smaller units and their skirmishes, struggles and orders behind the scenes.(A little nuance of and tribute to the Strike Back series.) This will put the emphasis on character interaction and its influence on the story, while enabling me to add depth to the lore.
PS: To make it a little harder there will also be gear lists which state the objects your carry and their amount/amount of ammunition

Bio: Vadim Tokarev was born on 1 July 1981 in Sverdlovsk, Russian SFSR, Soviet Union (now Yekaterinburg). When Vadim was 5, his father, a well respected VDV officer, died during the Soviet-Afghan War, forcing Vadim to grow up with just his mother.
His fathers death and the growing amount of terrorist attacks in the new Russian country during the 90s gave Vadim the desire to devote his life to the path of a soldier.
This path began with the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School which Vadim entered in 1999, and graduated in 2004.
He applied to join the Spetsnaz GRU the same year, where his determination and perservance allowed him to complete the selection course and within six months he was assigned to his unit.
In his unit, Vadim was involved with the clearing of insurgent positions in the untamed mountains of Chechnya and Dagestan during the Second Chechen War and, a few years later, the seizure and destruction of bases that supplied the Georgian troops in South Ossetia during the Russo-Georgian War.
After the Georgian conflict, Vadim was sometimes sent back to the North Caucasus during anti-terror operations. The modernization of the Russian military brought Vadim’s unit access to better gear and higher-end equipment, such as UAVs that gave his side a bigger advantage over the Caucasus Emirate militants than during the Second Chechen War.
In 2013, Vadim accepted an offer to be transferred to the Special Operations Forces (SSO), a brand-new unit under direct control of the Armed Forces.
The unit’s first deployment was in 2014, during the Crimean Crisis, where it blockaded Ukrainian bases and seized the Crimean parliament building. As the key to the peaceful annexation of the Crimean Peninsula, the unit cemented its status as the most elite special purpose unit in the Russian Federation.
Because of this, Vadim has frequently found himself on deployments of both covert and overt nature, ranging from coordinating air strikes against ISIS in Syria, to assassinating warlords in Libya.

Personal Information
Hobbies: Drawing, reading, swimming, cooking, collecting pocket watches Injuries(old and new): Scar on her left thigh. Mental Health Issues(such as PTSD): None Preferred Hand to Hand Style(Krav Maga or others): Boxing Bio/CV: Being an only child, Isabela had a rather comfortable upbringing. She was born and raised in a middle-class home and was never particularly deprived of any essential childhood experiences. When she was younger, she picked up a passion for drawing after taking an art class. She continued on that path well into her late teens. Isabela’s parents were expecting for her to make a career out of art, but she surprised them when she confessed to them what her intentions were. Even though they were not the least bit pleased with her decision, they nonetheless respected and supported her choice.
Upon finishing secondary school, Isabela didn’t waste any time starting her university career. She went into the language program to get her degree in English and after a semester, also pursued a joint education in police studies. She finished in three and a half years given that she refrained from working throughout that time and was able to take advantage of the free time she had. After she graduated, she joined the Civil Guard. The training phase was somewhat of a wake-up call, but prior to her arrival she had been training for months. Going out on jogs, taking boxing classes, strength training, etc. She was then taken into phase two where she’d receive the rest of her training to become an officer. The training was tougher, but she welcomed the challenge and in the end, graduated second in class.
Given that she had successfully completed all formal training, Isabela had to pick a field. She knew what she wanted from the beginning and she chose to join the Special Intervention Unit where she'd lead a small team of men and women. At first, it seemed like she was unstoppable, but she soon found out the hard way that life isn't without struggles. During a live fire exercise training, her thigh was grazed by a bullet after one of her subordinates failed to safely handle his weapon during a misfire. The individual responsible was heavily reprimanded, and Isabela was given a desk job for a couple of months both for medical reasons and as punishment for failing to properly execute a training exercise. She returned to full duty after some time, where not only did she become a better leader, but a better person as well. Initially, she was judged as being more strict by those she'd work with for years, but the payoff was clearly evident as she slowly gained rank and one day, pulled into her superior's office to be offered a new position. If she agreed, she'd be getting deployed to be alongside intelligence officers working in their nation's best interest. She'd never gone overseas, but she saw it as an opportunity to get further ahead in her career. Isabela understood how dangerous her job would be given that she'd be in hostile territory and out on the field much more than before, but she believed she was ready for this new chapter of her life.
@Sifter Alright, if you got 18 years there will be something before the GRU right? @Xandrya As for you, colonel after 13 years? In army regulations you are eligible to be promoted to colonel 14 1/2 years after you were promoted to Lieutenant. I will wait for the bio but I already sense there could be a problem with a 30 year old having a OF-5 rank. @SifterIn case you want a customized design

Personal Information
Hobbies:Reading, Gym, Cooking, Range, FMA (Filipino Martial Arts), Motorcycles Injuries(old and new): several scars, a few broken bones Mental Health Issues(such as PTSD): Insomnia Preferred Hand to Hand Style(Krav Maga or others):Sambo, Pencak Silat Bio/CV:Boris lived most of his childhood in Russian under rough circumstances. He was stealing food when being hungry, getting into brawls with neighborhood kids and running from the police. A normal kid of his town so to say.His mother immigrated towards the west ,later she met Boris´s new stepfather there.While attending school he forged friendships with many kids like him and quickly came to an understanding that as a minority some doors were open to him, which led to contact with drugs and firerarms in early youth. He knew too good what came from drugs since he experienced a lot of misery and violence caused by them but the hunger for money and status made him roll with it and hustle. Up until he finished school Boris kept in touch with with shady friends and bad company . The reason he maintained a good physical form trough lifting, running and martial arts was that he always had an affinity towards the military. But he wasn´t taken into the academy,even though he was in good physical shape and spoke 4 languages at that time, and started studying psychology.After finishing his psychology degree Bo decided that it wasn´t his way, he left the university with 21 and enlisted into the BKA where earned a degree in public administration and a certificate in Arabic. After that he decided give into the urge to go back to his homeland, where he served first in the Airborne Troops Mountain Division, where he learned mountaineering, to earn his citizenship back which he lost after the German naturalization, until he was 26.Then the GRU Spetsnaz where he became a Staff Sergeant with 28 and 5 tours, there he was put into the position of a Pointman/Marksman due to his past MOS in the VDV.The GRU (Spetsnaz) transferred him to Vympel(Recon,Sabotage,HVT Operations), where Boris learned everything a military spook needs(emphasis on Vympel´s jurisdiction) and also attended OCS which was mandatory, due to his cultural and language knowledge, he became a person of interest for European and middle eastern operations. Boris was married to Katja Melnikov which was killed by separatists as a retaliation for Bo´s operations Chechnya, Africa and South America. Ever since he is a single father, taking care of his 15 year old daughter Natasha. It is hard for him to handle the life of a single parent while also being on constant stand by in case a deployment comes up. .
@AlShayatin I guess I was a bit ambitious. I'm not entirely sure how their ranking works but I'll knock myself down a couple. And I'm glad you're pointing stuff out, it makes the game that much more realistic.
@XandryaAlright, if you want an officer make sure she finished at least a Bachelors degree and officer candidate school.(That is mandatory in the armies I know)
All good, take your time. Just finished mine so I am good to go when you are.
As my RAF Camp has bagged me a place in the National Band, so I cannot put anymore effort or time into another RP, however I bid you the best of luck, my good friends!
