[OOC] A New Dawn Shall Rise (Red Dawn RP)

[Jangel13]

If freedom is taken away then we must fight to get it back!

The United States of America has been taken over by a foreign army. The North Koreans started with an EMP attack that crippled all of our communications. We hadn't realized that it was an attack before it was too late and all of America saw paratroopers dropping into each of the American cities. It has been months since the attack started and unfortunately because all of our technology was crippled in the first attack we didn't have the forces needed to mount a proper offensive. We hadn't realized it yet but the North Koreans were already 2 steps ahead of us, they had installed spies into every political and major military outpost and as a result, each was destroyed and taken over from the inside out. Now each major state is on its own at least for the time being, each state has been subdued and the North Koreans have gotten comfortable making patrols, bases, strike zones, you name it. They have all the power and they know it if anyone is suspected of being a terrorist or defying a North Korean soldier's orders even if they were just recruits then they could have the victim killed if they were lucky.

Now though people have started to realize that if they want this nightmare to end, if they want to bring America back to its former glory, if they want their families and children to come back home, then they need to stand up and say "No More!" A revolution has started and people have started to rise up. The only question is, will you rise with us and take back America or will you lie down and beg for what little scraps they give you?


Now first off, I want to say I have NOTHING against North Koreans in any way shape or form. This if you haven't realized by now is a Red Dawn/homefront rp. Both basically deal with the same thing with a revolution starting up against a foreign power which in this case is the North Koreans. This is a rebellion rp where we will start with very little yet work our way to liberating all of America! We have roles which you can fill and if you don't feel like following those roles you can be an underling or a civilian that is helping out the resistance. You want to be the North Korean suppressor... play it at your own risk because you will die.

We have 8 roles, if you can think of a role that I haven't thought of yet then, by all means, tell me and let me know so I can add it to the list.

• Leader (taken)
• tech expert (taken)
• recon Specialist/Assassin (yours truly)
• quartermaster (In charge of weaponry and equipment)
• communications officer (In charge of distributing information to all soldiers in the field)
• voice of Freedom (radio operator talking to the people to keep them up to date and recruit) taken
• double agent (Someone who joins the North Koreans as a double agent to send valuable intel)
• Medic (taken)

Bullseye

Name: Markus "Bullseye" Moreno

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Previous Occupation: Professional Gamer

Current role: recon specalist/assassin

Weapon of choice: Remington 700 police issued sniper rifle

How did you come to this role?: Back when things were peaceful my father used to be in the swat team and was trained as a rifleman. He was used to fighting in situations where you had limited space and needed to move into position quietly without being seen. As a kid I always admired him for that and we played hide and seek a lot in a sense he trained me in sneaking around without being seen and I didn't even realize it. I didn't have the courage to be a leader or the brains to work with the communications or figure out how to work with guns other then the basic point and shoot.

However, what I had been able to do was learn how to shoot from over 300 yards away thanks to my father taking me out to the shooting range from time to time. Since I wanted to be like him he taught me how to use his favorite gun when in the field. Since I was one of the few with training albeit unoffically I knew how to work as a marksman and sneak around without being seen.

Personal History: I was born and raised in North Carolina and was brought up right by my parents. My father was a swat rifleman and my mother was always worried about him. From what I remember my mother was actually a stay at home mom. I wasnt an only child because my mother soon gave birth to my little sister who was only two years younger then me. It was a nice life until I was 13 and my mother while shopping at a convenience store became a hostage in a robbery. Of course everyone panicked and my father requested to be sent but he wasn't allowed to since this was to personal for him. Our mother died that day when the robber panicked and shot his hostage. Since then I have been taking care of my sister and my father worked even harder to make sure it never happned to anyone else again.

My gaming career happened after I turned 17 and I became involved with the E3 competitions I was even able to earn some prize money. My most notible games were ones where i played as a soldier. Ironic given the sitaion.

Personality: call it stubborness or having an iron will but Markus gave up on anyone or anything. He worked hard and did whatever he had to even if it meant putting himself at risk. He would always put the good of others before himself and would normally not engage in combat himself he found his drive after what happened. He is fiercly loyal to those he calls his friends and would fight tooth and nail for the wolverines till he couldn't fight anymore.

How did you join up with the Wolverines?: When the invasion happened we tried to run and make a break for it however they killed his father when they made the attempt. Thankfully he and his sister survived and by then he was 18 and his sister was 16. They were forced into a camp and were only able to escape thanks to the help of a wolverine that came in disguise. Thanks to the wolf and sheeps clothing he and his sister were able to get away however after they got out the alarm sounded and his sister was hit with shrapnel from a grenade. She ended up loosing her arm as a result. He was able to find his way back to his house to grab his fathers weapon and supplies. He then took her to the wolverines where she still helps however she can even with one less arm.

Why did you choose to fight?: After his father died and his sister lost an Arm Markus was filled with rage and needed to channel it. He decided to fight and make them all pay for what they did to him and hundreds, thousands of other families.

Other: "I Am a Woverine!"

@Jangel13 Updated CS

Doc

Name: John "Doc" Johnson
Age: 38
Previous Occupation: High School Teacher and Adviser
Current role: Medic
Weapon of Choice: AK-74

How did you come to this role: Doc has 10 years of professional schooling, and is a licensed medical practitioner who spent a couple years aiding doctors without borders. High stress environments such as this have always been a part of his life.

Personal History:

John Johnson knew he wanted to be a doctor from a young age. His father was a doctor, his uncle was a doctor... one could say it ran through his blood. So John spent most of his life buckling down and getting his work done. He took the time to be averagely social, playing baseball in the spring for his school's team from Middle School through High School. He stopped participating in competitive sports when he left high school, much to the dismay of his couch and fellow players.

Once in college, he hit the books hard. He went out of state to go to Duke University. His life changed drastically. Despite being set on becoming a doctor and staying in the pre-med program, John fell in love with history and literature. He ended up double majoring in History and Biology, with a minor in Global Health. He also managed to get swept up in a young romance with a fellow history major, Jenna Rainsby. Unfortunately, they parted ways as they graduated to pursue post-graduate education.

After four years of Medical School, John got caught up in the desire to do something with his life. Now a licensed medical practitioner, he went to serve with Doctors without Borders for two years. He served in rural parts of Southeast Asia for a few months before being sent to the Middle East for the rest of his time there, aiding victims of the violent conflicts in the region. He had seen the brutality of conflict and had been up to his elbows in viscera more than a few times. When he returned to the states, he gave up on medicine for the time being.

John ended up going to grad school to attain his Masters in History and meet the requirements to become a high school teacher. He then moved back to his hometown to teach at his high school. He was brought on as a member of the History Department, where he happened to run in to his college sweetheart. The two rekindled their relationship, and got married a year and a half later. At the point of the Invasion, John was an assistant coach for the baseball team, an adviser for students looking to pursue a career in medicine, a history teacher who taught the general World History freshman required course and an honors class on Western Civilization, a loving husband, and the father to a boy and a girl.

Personality:

Without a doubt, he is an academic and a father to the very core. He has a tendency to lecture his friends and allies, mostly a byproduct of his role as an educator, adviser, and coach. That being said, Doc is always there for those in need. He manages to make the medicinal supplies he has access to last. He always helps himself last, instead always doing what he can to put the needs or desires of others first. When not fixing up injured Wolverines, he's often reading through what's left of his library collection. The book he keeps going back to, for some reason, is his version of the Complete Works of Shakespeare.

How did you join up with the Wolverines?:

Doc was well known throughout his community. He received an award for his outstanding service to his community before the invasion. Afterwards, he reached out to everyone he possibly could to offer his services as a doctor. It was only a matter of time before the Wolverines reached out to him. The first time he was asked to join, Doc declined to join officially out of fear for his family. He did reach out after the abduction of his family, and was brought into the fold.

Why did you choose to fight?:

One of the biggest consequences to an invasion like the one the Americans are experiencing? People end up imprisoned. Among those who were taken from their homes were Doc's wife and his two children, 7 year-old twins (a boy and a girl). Doc was out on a "house call" after the invasion, trying to check in on some family friends. Losing his family to the North Koreans drove Doc to the brink, willing to aid any efforts to try and get them back. Needless to say, a doctor would be useful in such an effort.

Other: I am a Wolverine!
FC: Noah Wyle (playing Tom Mason from Falling Skies)

@webboysurf

Hey sorry but I added a few things to the character sheet that you need to add. Sorry I didn't think to add those when I first posted

[webboysurf]

@Jangel13

I’m guessing weapon of choice is just what they are known for using, not the only weapon they have on hand?

[Jangel13]

@webboysurf

Yeah it's just the weapon you are most familiar with or have been seen using the most

[Dusty]

What year is it? Also, are the North Koreans allied with any other stronger power, maybe a coalition of China and Russia and the DPRK?

[Jangel13]

@Dusty

The year will be 2035 but I would rather not get into those kinds of details cause that's meant to be a surprise later down the line. For now with our limited resources we only know the enemy in front of us

[webboysurf]

@Jangel13

Updated the CS in the initial post with the newly added question. I don't believe I'm missing anything else then.
