Well if we're going to consider it I will give it some thought and run a overview of the idea by everyone before we get in any critical firefights.

I will say now. Don't get too attached to anything you pick up before our first chapter actually gets into full swing. Your chosen pistol is golden. But any major primary might be iffy for abit.

@Starlance

Capitol is northern I will say

The Conflict

Alright, first post up.

General time of day, which I will try and make apparent to give us a time reference in some posts, is up.

Make your insertions. Once we're all inserted, we can begin the fun.

Extra

I want to ask you all about an idea I had, I came up with it mostly because I remembered how cool I thought it was in the source material.

what do you think of a "wear and tear" mechanic. That I would try and keep track of for this.

Meaning the more you use your equipment the more likely it is to degrade, malfunction and eventually potentially break.

Wanted to run it by my currently active players.

The Conflict

Location: Third Class Car, Blue Line, Matanbai Rail lines
Time: Just a little past Four AM.

The train carriage bumped and shifted as it clattered down the rails. Various people within and without shifting. Some in their sleep some, night owls most like, try to resume doing whatever they were doing before the train shifted.

Up in the First Class car most of the people are in their bunks. Happily sleeping away the night. Tourists and sight seers, rich dentists and doctors out for a peek into the slums of the world. And along down the line it goes as people have more realistic reasons for travelling these rails.

Reporters, journalists, members of the press. Well funded support and relief workers coming into the company. Not for Profit organizations that want to help out in a soon to be war torn country. And people who want to look good but can't claim to any fame...yet. That's up in the middle class cars.

It's back in the lower class cars where those people who aren't highly funded or are humble enough to admit they don't need money and can offer their services properly perhaps.

And usually someone like this man would stick out. He's obviously been through something. Something that has left a stain on his soul and outlook. Even while sleeping he seems to be ready to go at the drop of a hat. And he does indeed rock and roll at the drop of a hat as a train worker stupidly fumbles his way through the car. The man slips abit and tries to catch himself, in doing so putting a hand on the broken man's shoulder. The man in question, with all the speed of a viper lashes out, grabs the hand pulls the train worker even further off his feet and to one knee...all in a few moments. The broken man's fist cocked back. Until he finds himself again and he smiles, "Sorry...was...um yeah..." He helps the train worker to his feet and lets him move on. The Worker looking a little shocked, enough so that he quickly runs off, somehow having better footing then a moment ago.

The broken man sniffles and looks around, to make sure no one saw what just happened. He corrects the placement of the redcross badge on his lapel, part of his cover. He's close...just a little longer.

The man has a passing moment when he thinks, just how many others there are like him inserting or infiltrating this little country. And where they are right now, and if he'd recognize them when he found them.

He briefly recalls his mission pack. And the words, "All Operatives are tasked to arrive in the capitol of Tangayi before beginning their mission."

The broken man, one Hayden Moses swallows thickly and leans back in his seat. Only a matter of time now.

The Conflict

Hayden

Name: Hayden Moses

Age: 37

Nationality: Canadian, born in Vancouver BC, moved to and grew up in Calgary Alberta

Training: Canadian Armed Forces , Picked for CSOR training

MO: Rifleman, with CSOR Autogunner training

Infiltration Method: Train ride in undercover as a relief worker with the Red Cross Organization

Kit: Browning Hi-Power pistol firing the 9mm parabellum round, and a Spontoon Hawk hatchet

History:
Strange things happen in life.

That's one thing you can damn well bet on.

A family can raise a son. Lose them, then gain them back. A woman can find a love, cheat on them and then regain the first love.

People win and lose daily. People live and then die, daily.

These can almost be called facts of life. In a case or two, they are.

For Hayden, it started when he was in the Army. For all that he is now, Hayden was a good soldier. He had a healthy respect for authority, and did what he was told, within the limits of morality at any rate. He served mostly in minor peace-keeping situations and served well. Nothing really of note. He did his duty and did his best at it. He fired his weapon only once maybe thrice in the heat of the moment in his entire 3 years as an army grunt. But something during that time. Perhaps his strict adherence to following orders. Could have been that anyway.

But out of the blue an offer was made. An offer from the Canadian Special Operations Regiment, CSOR.

Next to the JTF-2, CSOR is the best military unit that the Canadian Military could field. And they wanted him to join up and take part. He’d be a fool not to take them up on the offer. So he joined CSOR, and began his training. And this was a whole other ball game. CSOR had a more clandestine style to them. Their work wasn’t usually broadcast, and the things they did wasn’t always above board.

So Hayden quickly lost his normal morality. One of his first missions after finishing his training was a black ops assassination mission. A team of seven sent into a backwoods Surinamese community, and tasked to kill four high profile members of the community. Believed to be Cartel adminstration.

These would be the similar missions that Hayden would be sent into during his eight year stint with the CSOR. He quickly lost his naivete. Feeling jaded and angry about the things he needed to do. So when he got the chance he took a walking ticket. He left the service. But didn’t want to stop. He’d grown a taste for doing things the hard way.

He went on to travel, it was in Egypt he hired on with an oil company. Providing armed security on site. Fending off robbers during the night, and frightening off protesters during the day. Then served in Israel for a time as a consultant with a honest to god mercenary company. Then joined said company and was assigned to various operations around the middle east and eastern Europe.

Up until a year ago anyway when he was in Rwanda. Serving with a COGS run silver mine as one of seventeen ex-pat mercenaries working security. He was already in Africa when the call came for him to serve once again. At first he told the Canadian government to go have sexual intercourse with their mothers. But after several repeated calls and negotiations and bargaining, he finally shifted. And agreed to help. An advance of ten thousand dollars got him a beaten up Browning Hi Power, and a spear bladed tomahawk at a Rwandan weapons marketplace. His cover set as a Red Cross relief worker. And he boarded a train heading West.

My little crazy guy.

@Starlance@FourtyTwo

Alright then I will give both cses approval put them in the characters thread.

We will give @Skwint another day or so

The Conflict

Oof...okay people are gonna hate me.

@FourtyTwo

Good CSes. Well done on them both. The only question I want to ask is if you are positive you can manage both characters in game? If the answer is yes I'll give you the benefit.

But all information I can find says the P320 entered use in 2014. Which is atleast 10 years ahead of our time line. So I suggest finding something a little older.

The Glock 17 as long as it's no newer then say the 17MB model can pass. Just without the Silencer. If you still want that silencer, then hey you might be able to find it in the field.

@Starlance

Good CS. Well done.

again Oof, that GSH just barely edges in. It's a brand new gun basically in this time line. So you're gonna hate me for this. But brand new guns...are very very scarce in Matanbai. VERY scarce. I'm sure you get my drift. And you're going to have to do without the loader. Might be out in the field. And if it is, it's going to come at a premium. Because again the gun is BRAND spanking NEW at this point.

And by Brand new, I mean the Hyena doesn't deal in it. It's that new. He can shift Cold War and 80s and 90s guns into the country easily enough. But something that just came out of development and is starting use? Yeah it's hard to get a hold of those.

I ought to have my own CS up in abit. And if you guys like you can grill is and let me know. I'm up for criticism.

Please make those changes the both of you.

We can give Skwint a little time. If he doesn't show up within a day or so. Then we start without and I put out the word there is an open spot.

The Conflict

Okay let's see...that work?

@FourtyTwo

Given Co-GM status. Mostly because he knows my schtick and because we have differing schedules. So there will be someone around when I'm not to answer questions.

@Starlance

Yes, tons of room, but still limiting it to four people in the RP for now.

So hopefully @Skwint will show up.

I don't mind starting this with three people though.

The Conflict

@Theyra

Good so far, give me somemore detail on his Training, and fix up the MO section abit. Designated Marksman tells me nothing. Almost every member of an army can be a marksman. What makes him stand out?

I guess that is partially my fault. I should go back into the CS and buff it up abit.

Forgot to add a history section too.

EDIT:

I've changed the CS around abit, added some fleshy bits. Theyra, I'd like to ask you to add the missing bits to your CS as well.

Oh and, your pistol is good. But there is a caveat. But you'll find that out later.

The Conflict

OOC thread is up for those still in.
