There have always been two sides. The United Front, and the Faithful.

The United Front made up of all the nations and countries that valued an open approach to government and to people's rights. A man could opt to pursue a political career no matter where he came from. A woman could climb her way up from the dregs of society to become a powerful media mogul, and a any child could work to become the CEO of the biggest multi-national company in the Front. Freedom, liberty, and the ability to become whatever you wanted. Free healthcare and education to all that might want it. The United Front didn't control, they helped everyone and anyone under their flag.

The Faithful. Made up dozens of nations, where freedom is something that comes only to a rare few. No man, woman or child is totally free to take charge of their own destiny. All are subject to the will of the Temple and the Clergy. Only the Clergy is truly free. Money, food, water, fuel and even energy is strictly controlled by the Temple. Sent out to only those that are believed to need it the most. All the rest must earn these things. Only Shelter is free to the people, in Temple owned barracks. And all are subject to the word of the Clergy. Entire families can be ripped apart if the Clergy believes the man power of family is better used in differant places. A son can be sent to the farthest reaches of the Faithful nations if it is believed he can do better good there, and he has no say in the matter.

The United Front gave freely, while the people of the Faith were kept under an iron thumb. Is it no surprise that both sides believed themselves to be superior to the other? Is it still no surprise that they would confront each other over it?

Where the United Front could raise armies with modern weapons and the most modern equipment, the Faithful could raise Hordes, with any weapon that their disposal. It was modern power against the weight of numbers. And somehow this kept both sides at a stalemate.

For years, decades, centuries, this is how the war between the two sides went. Neither side able to keep the other on the back foot for long.

And then the Faith found a new way. A Temple scientist produced, "The Word" a powerful weapon that literally took the free will of entire cities away from them and converted them right then and their to the Faith. The United Front was soon on the back foot. As the people they meant to protect would suddenly attack them from behind. They started to retreat, escaping the farthest reaches of their land to keep ahead of the rising tide of the Faithful's Word powered mobs.

In answer, the United Front created "The Nightmare Protocol".

Cybernetically enhanced soldiers, loyal and deadly, surgically and physically enhanced, and unable to be turned against the Front. These men and women became the deep forward line of the Front to push back the hordes of common and brainwashed Faithful. To the Faithful, these deadly, shadowy and physically enhanced soldiers were known as a simple word, "Nightmares". To learn there is a squad of them in their cities is to know fear, and to dread the night.


Nightmares are all cybernetically and physically enhanced. Entire arms, legs have been removed and fitted with superior steel and circuitry. Most Nightmares get standard enhancements. Legs that can allow them to run in excess of 100 kilometers per hour. And to jump heights maxing out at 15 to 18 feet. Arms capable of punching through 6 feet of reinforced concrete, lifting upwards of 30 tons, and with the capabilty to dig fingers into hardened steel.

But some Nightmares will opt for more customized enhancements as well. Replacing lungs, eyes and parts of their mind to make them snipers unparralelled. Able to see at distances upto 10 kilometers with crystal clear clarity. Auto-zoom features in the eyes up too 50x the norm. Able to hold their breath to steady their rifle for 45 minutes at a time.

Others might opt for integral close combat enhancements. Arms, legs and feet with hidden blades or integrated close range firearms. High calibre pistols that can be drawn right out of their arms in a flash. Or high strength, mono-filament edge combat blades that sheath or unsheath out of their forearms.

Still others might go for experimental thermo-optic-audio camouflage enhancements that can render them almost completely invisible to the human and mechanical eye and ear. Literally bending light, and sound around them, and able to appear almost everywhere.

Every Nightmare is given a basic kit of a high calibre, selective fire combat rifle that can be used mid to long range. Many can opt for close to mid range assault kits that have an automatic shotgun and dual high rate of fire PDWs. The marksmen can swap their kit out for super power prototype rail gun kits, single shot weapons, that are accurate upto 1000 meters, and can still hit a human sized target out to 5 kilometers.

The Nightmares have the capability, but they are still human in a sense. A spray of bullets can still kill them, and a mob can still bare them down under numbers and rip them to pieces. But the Nightmares have all the things they need to succeed, IF they can utilize their team and their equipment to do so.

Name: Halavahn Jaack (Kassandra 'Jaque')
Age: 23
Gender: Female Model (male Mind)

Former Occupation: Combat Medic.
Mode of Operation: The Muscle, adapt with CQC and 'disassembling the human anatomy'. Proficient with advanced medical aid.
History: I was a doctor...yes, its one of those stories. I worked with what I could in the back alleys to make life that much more for those caught in the crossfire. I was tired of war before being exposed to all of this; assuming there was a gray area, I took refugees in. The faith is a powerful idiocy that won't rest until all sensible reason is...*subject sighs after taking a long drag from a cigarette*.
Heh...geez. I thought super heroes were all silliness and banned comics. What I mean is...hmm......years. If superheroes knew they had to undergo years of physical therapy just to get this...
Where to begin, where to begin...I didn't think I had to answer this one. 'Why' is a messy term and you can ask anyone under the sun to get a grip of answers. I guess, what value is mine? I'm here to make sure the word 'reason' follows my name...our name, and that's...*pff* Gosh...Why?
I'm already dead, that's why! All I have left is to stand against that which undid me! I'd never fold, my cards are already on the table.
Loadout: A prototype M249-M60 crossbreed chambering 101 7.62 explosive shells at 650rpm. The free arm wields a carbon-steel
The model is designed to lift tons of freight, given the right leverage. Toting their armaments is a laughable task, and Jack remains fairly agile in spite of the encumbrance.

Name: Kincaid 'Cade' Washington

Age: 30

Gender: Male

Appearance:


Former Occupation: Formerly a bodyguard of the Sundowner organization.

Mode of Operation: Gunslinger

History: Before entering the Nightmare Protocol, Kincaid Washington functioned as a regular member of society in the United Front. Though not directly a soldier or security officer, he served as part of a powerful and well-known bodyguard and bounty hunter organization known only as Sundowner. The organization was famously known for frequently assisting with the local government/law enforcement, even occasionally branching off towards vigilantism. As such, being a member was by no means shameful, and Cade was considered an honorary officer for his work there. Despite the reputation his job was given, Cade tried to keep a low-profile, and simply did the jobs he was paid for; only occasionally going out of his way. This career gave Cade a semi-prosperous, if slightly unstable life to enjoy. However, when the Faithful began using "The Word" against United Front cities, drastic measures had to be taken. Sundowner was temporarily integrated into the military, and the Nightmare Protocol was enacted as a countermeasure to the Faithful's immense power. Now without a job, running out of money, and the fear that his entire nation would be destroyed: Cade signed up, undergoing surgery to become something better.

Loadout: Cade carries a light loadout to minimize weight while maximizing effectiveness. His typical mission loadout consists of four high-grade pistols that come with detachable silencers for discreet killings, hairpin triggers, and extra ammo hidden on his person. Along with these are a large amount of throwing knives, a grappling gun, and a combat knife.

Name: John Victor Faceur

Age: 34

Gender: Male

Appearance:

Used to stand a measly 5 foot 6 inches tall. But since augmentation, enhancement and training, has put on a extra foot. Under the helmet and around the removed parts of his skull and flesh are strands of dark red hair. The starting of a beard are in evidence as his time in training and augmentation has made it very hard to catch the time to shave. Very little of his lighter frame remains. Skin and cybernetics clearly show in some places, where his limbs were removed and replaced with the powerful steel and circuitry and wiring that makes him a Nightmare. Biological circuits wind their way up his body from his limbs, connecting them to the central node at the back of his neck, and leading into the central control unit inside his head. Despite all of his cunning brown eyes look out at everything around him, he has lost none of his intelligence despite everything he's been through.

Former Occupation: Politician, Holds distinction as the man who was the deciding vote to pass the Nightmare Protocol

Mode of Operation: Riflemen focus, with a Close Combat secondary role

History:

Dear fucking god what have I done to myself?

Used to sit on the United Front government council. I was at the forefront of the movement within the governing body to help us in this war. Not win it, the Faithful and the United Front have been at each others throats for centuries. At this point, just stopping the march of The Word is our biggest goal. Forget fucking winning the war. We just need to stop The Word. And the Nightmares are the way we're going to do that.

When the idea of the Nightmare Protocol was first brought forth, lots of people thought it was just a pipe dream. The idea of the Nightmares, cybernetic, physical cyborgs, loyal to the Front, unable to be turned by The Word. It sounded like fairy tales. The technology wasn't even there yet. Sure we could provide robot like prosthetics to wounded soldiers, but we didn't have the ability to remove limbs and replace them with usable limbs that were lights years stronger then the originals. But as time went on, and we saw we could do these things. I began to see the need for this to happen. It's our saving grace. This could help us get a foot forward.

So when we won the vote. I was one of the many to volunteer. I handed in my resignation as a councilor, and volunteered to the Nightmare Protocol. It was hard, damn it was hard. I did things I never figured I could do. But soon, boom, they had made a soldier out of me. Then, they made a Nightmare out of me. They took my arms, part of my brain, my legs, my eyes, ears and nose. And soon I could see, hear, smell things like never before. I could jump three stories with ease, climb sheer surfaces, and race aloing the grounds at speeds that should be impossible for a normal person. But I wasn't a normal person anymore. Going out on leave, I could see it in the eyes of the people. I was beyond human now. I truly am a Nightmare.

Loadout:

Battle rifle: .50 calibre selective fire rifle with a 3x power integrated scope, that can be wired to his eyes to reach 50x power scope. Full auto, burst, and semi-auto fire selections. 50 round magazine, 7 carried

Sidearm: burst fire combat pistol, firing .45 calibre pistol rounds. Integrated red dot collimator sight, with under barrel combat blade. 30 round bar magazines, 4 carried.

Arm sheathed 15 inch combat blades.
And here is my character.

And double post wooo.

I posted right over you both my apologies.

Looking good Hawlin. Very nice. As it stands I'd say that looks pretty good.

Ghost, the only thing I have a problem is that he's based off of Adam Jensen by the looks of it, kinda. That's just me though, I'm a big Dues Ex fan, and that game wrecked the franchise. But otherwise the character looks good.

Yes, I did use screenshots of Adam's outfit/prosthetics/weapons as a basis for mine. I oftentimes find that pictures help to convey what I'm thinking more than words can sometimes. If it's a problem, I'd be more than happy to change it. :)

No no, no big problem, don't worry about it. I'm just an opinionated gamer, who feels that DE:Rev was a crappy game. And everything connected to it needs to burn.

I am going to rightly admit that I am tired as all hell right now. I don't think I can put together a good opening post. Not that we're going directly into battle. So I will put the opening post tomorrow morning.

But I want to run something by you guys. Base wise, where shall we be located? Metropolitian area? On a UF forward base? Or in a secret base somewhere deep behind friendly lines?

This is mostly cosmetic, as time spent on base will be limited. Still I want some input for when I start the post.

Personally, I think a secret base behind friendly lines would be best. Considering the Nightmares are kinda like an elite force, it would be advisable to keep them at a secure, unidentified location in case the Faithful has any double-crossers or spies in the metropolitan areas. That's just my two cents lol.

So, I hear you prefer descriptions.
I suppose I'll just shirk my sense of shame for having what I had.


Doot doot doot...*scans CSs*

Another edit: Oh geez, thoughts thoughts.
Is this a solid combat RP? I'm K if it is, but it doesn't seem like one, at least.

No it's not going to be a solid combat RP. There will be recon, defense and other elements. No one wanted to take a less offensive role. That's fine.

And why are you expressing shame? Dude your CS is fine.

Very good thoughts there Ghost.

When I post up the first post we'll see what happens. For now though I'm going to bed. Night you two.

Alright I apologize it took so long. I got held up with RL stuff.

I ask a favor of you, have your characters just arriving, or having arrived just a short time ago and getting into the base much like mine.

We can all meet up in the open before the barracks or at the barracks themselves.

We;re going to have a few posts of meeting up, getting briefed before being kitted out and sent out on our first mission.

I'll hopefully have a post up come the morning.

I've had a very long day, and am fairly tired.

Nice opening posts so far.

Once we've all met up, we'll get into the meat and potatoes of this RP.

I apologize to you both.

I hate when people are unable to post, and I hate it even more when I myself am unable to post. I'm horribly hard on myself.

So yesterday when I started writing the post and realized I wasn't going to be able to post I felt horrible. So I apologize. I promise it won't be like this the whole RP. I just didn't expect to get dragged along on a sudden outing with family.

Really throws things for a loop when sudden things like this happen.

But anyway, to make up for it, I thought this would be an interesting exercise to get us all together.
