This would be a military specialist group consisting of a few archetypes. Each archetype would be irreplaceable and extremely valuable to be able to carry out the mission. Each specialist will have been taken from some branch of the military (going to stick with current US military unless we figure out a better system). Sometimes stealth will be needed, other times we'll need to go in guns (strategically) blazing. This will also be set in the far future, around 2070, and each specialist will have a Personal Enhancement Suit (PES) which can give minor augmentations to help further specialize our specialists. The overarching plot is still in the making, but I have enough of the beginning plot to start us off. So, the archetypes:

Scout - Recon specialist; well versed in stealth and CQC. Carrying usually no more than a small pistol and a combat knife.

Sniper - Eyes from above. Usually pairs with the Scout, but keeps eyes on all enemies possible. Only shoots when necessary.

Comms = HQ's mouth and ears. Reports directly to the higher-ups for briefing and debriefing and any time necessary during a mission. May also carry medium firearms for protection during the mission.

Techie = Technical coordinator. This specialist develops, implements, and distributes additions to weapons and armor, gadgets, etc.

Boomer - Explosives expert. Creates, sets, and (when forced to) distributes explosive devices to destroy buildings, distract enemy groups, or whatever else might be needed.

The group size will have to be small (because there's only so many archetypes for futuristic army types). So it'll be myself and 4 others. Who's interested?

Interested, but I'd like to know a bit more about the plot first before committing to anything.

Alright, the plot I have made concrete so far is that each of us stand out in a specific aspect, so we've been chosen by the government to take out a threat of domination (still am working on the worldbuilding and deciding whether to host this on Earth, space colony, etc). Reguardless of the threat, our government needs us to push them back. The best idea they have is to insert us deep into enemy territory and thin the enemy's hold on our taken land while not being captured or killed. No pressure.

*slow clap* Not bad. So long as this doesn't turn into something of a soap opera, I'm in. Just a quick question: where's/who's the strategist?

That's the interesting part: depends on the mission. The specialist whose... specialty dictates the mission takes point on strategy (i.e. stealth mission: Scout/Sniper; stopping missile launch: techie/comms). If there's no clear-cut strategy leader, Comms takes point.

Well, all of these kiddies know what they're doing and, unless you specify otherwise in a CS, they wouldn't compromise a mission over petty "leadership for a day" position.

Interested. If I can, I wanna place dibs on the techie. Also, the techie should be able to hack into/use computers (as that's what a techie would usually do). Ultimately GM's choice. ^_^

If placing reservations is permitted then I'd like to be the Sniper, please.
