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.

Appearance: (Would perfer a written appearance over a picture)
Former Occupation(Were you military before you joined? Civilian Specialist? Civilian volunteer?)
Mode of Operation: (Standard Riflemen? Marksman? Covert Ops? What role are you playing in the squad. I will not allow there to be two covert ops, or two Muscle etc. If the role has been taken you are SOL)
History: (Atleast 2 paragraphs of what you did before entering the Nightmare Protocol)
Loadout: (What weapons are you bringing into the field?)
Yes it's just a rehash of what I put down in the IntChk, but why try and recreate the wheel?
I'll have my own character up soon. Still hammering out my own deal.
