Karl stood with his hands behind his back, listening to Andrew's question. The question was obviously not a fully serious one, but Karl answered it regardless, patting the PzF 3 Bunkerfaust on his back.
"Then we make it wish it was. Anything else, Keller?"
He could tell Keller had another question to follow it up.
"Sir, I know we are no science group, but will we be collecting samples? Since we aren't wearing Has-Mat suits, it would suck to have touched some sort of Poison Ivy and not know about it until we are an hour away from the point of contact...Sir."
"Our job is to recon and secure the immediate area. Once we do that a research group will join up with Team 4 and set up at the operating base and conduct research on the local flora and creatures from there with Team 4's help. Until then do your best to avoid direct contact with any of the fauna. If anyone does come up with anything, your team's medic will treat them to the best of their abilities and then will report back here ASAP."
Karl looked over the rest of the group, bringing his attention to Jack, giving him a nod when he asked to speak.
"What do you expect to find in these mountains?"
"Rocks. Other then that your guess is as good as mine. We could find more of those green creatures or we could find something completely different. If we do come across something living, remember the ROE. Do not fire upon it unless you deem it hostile or a danger to you and your team."
Lucas' turn to ask his question was next.
"Sir! If we find natives in this world, will we approach them or just observe them?"
"Current orders regarding local natives that are capable of thought and reasoning are up to team leaders. As I said earlier each team will be operating autonomously. If we do discover a local native then the team's leader will first figure out if the native is hostile or not then continue from there."
He directed the next part to the leaders of the other three teams, but it also applied to the rest of the group.
"Remember, if we do discover and local natives, the chances of them speaking one of our languages will be slim. If you plan on making contact with them keep that in mind."
He spend a few more moments answering questions from the member's of other teams. Soon everyone quieted down and no more questions were asked.
"Is that everyone? Good. Alright, everyone gather into your teams and move out towards your objective point. Team 1, follow me."
He moved back towards the group as everyone went into their assigned teams before heading off in their own directions. Team 1 heading off towards the closer mountains to the west. The mountains looked to only be a few hours hike from their current location. Luckily, the area they were heading too was a more shallow spot in the mountain range, thus the team didn't need to carry climbing gear with them. The team was about halfway to the mountains when they came across a wooden fence. The fence was old and falling apart, it hadn't been maintained in a very long time. The fence ran down up a nearby hill, disappearing on the other side then re-merging farther down, boxing in the area in front of them.
"Looks like a pasture of some sort."
Karl stepped forward, lightly kicking one of the fence's posts.
"I reckon wherever this fence leads isn't too far off. We can probably follow it then still make it to the mountains today. What do you guys think?"

OK first post is up so we can start posting IC. Also posted my character's CS in the CS tab so go take a look if you want an idea who is leading you guys.

Remember the team has been training with each other and sharing a bunkhouse for about two weeks as Team 1. So while this isn't a first meeting of everyone it doesn't have to be "we are all buddy buddies". You all just know each other at least by name and stuff.

A Realm Beyond Our Own

Expedition Into the New Realm
Day One

The small group of 20 men and women which formed the N.W.R.T.F sttod at the mouth of the cave. Before them laid the New Realm, a mysterious world that had opened up just a little more then a month ago. The land was vast and seemingly untouched by man, save for the small guard post set up at the entrance which consisted of a small tower and a wired radio, the wire running back into the cave. The group was divided into 4 teams, with Team 4 being the largest. Once all the troops were through the portal and lined up outside the cave, some rubbing their asses from a rough landing, the leader of Team 1 stepped forward, removing his red helmet before turning to face the group.

"Alright, ladies! Welcome to the New Realm! You all know your orders, at least I goddamn well hope so, so I won't be giving a big speech. Just remember, we don't know what's out here. Don't fire at anything that doesn't look hostile and don't die. Those are currently your two orders. Since radios don't seem to work here unless they are wired, each team will be operating autonomously."
Karl looked around at the group. Different faces all from different countries. Their job was to simply recon to land while the real world decided what they wanted to do.
"Now. Team 2, you are heading to the East, Towards the forest."
He pointed towards the right of the cave opening, meaning the cave was to the south of their position.
"Team 3 has the North, you'll be escorting Team 4 until they get to the middle of the field here. Team 4, you're job is too start setting up a base of operations."
He pointed his thumb behind him.
"And finally, Team 1. You're with me. We are heading to the West over that small mountain range."
Once again, he pointed towards their destination.
"We are all to do a short one-day recon then return here. By then Team 4 will have some tents set up and we'll have some vehicles for longer missions. Today is just to get a feel of the land and recon the immediate area. We don't know what other kind of monsters this land has and we want to make sure there isn't anything invincible before we start sending expensive hardware through. Now, any questions?"
He looked out towards the group, waiting for their response.

Name: Karl Schultz
Age: 37
Nationality: German
Gear/Weapons:
WAlther P38
HK MP7
PzF 3 Bunkerfaust

Apperance:


Bio:
Karl Schultz was born out in West Germany, near the great wall that used to separate the country. He never met his mother, but his father was an officer in the German army, and so was his father before and his before him so it was only natural that Karl enlisted as soon as he came of age. Because of his family's history of being officers, Karl was pushed to follow them. At the start, Karl was a slow learner, unable to follow even the simplest procedures of an officer. But he persisted, slowly climbing ranks and learning. After a few years he was finally given command of a small squad, and though they never saw any action. After that it was an easy journey for him, a better grasp of what was expected of him and better understanding of his troops and how to lead them. While he is still considered one of the lower skilled officers in the Bundeswehr, many still recognize him for his persistence and his ability to adapt to his squad.

While he wasn't the first choice to lead Team 1 into the New Realm, he was given the position as a chance to prove himself, something he had been asking for for a very long time. He oversaw the training of all four teams over the course of the two weeks they spent and took time to understand each of the soldiers partaking in the expedition.

Personality:
Neutral. Neutral is the best word to describe Karl's personality. You are either on his good side and get treated with respect, or you are on his bad side and get treated with a punch to the face. Despite this he likes to put up a tough front while on duty, often yelling when not needed or just quoting lines he's heard in American war movies, though even when yelling at them he still respects those that serve under him providing they listen and act like soldiers. He is a very patriotic man and would gladly charge headfirst into battle if his country asked it of him, even though he has never been given the chance until now. The same goes for his men, he would put himself into the line of fire to protect those serving under him.

Other:
Originally was not slated to be on the N.W.R.T.F, let alone the one leading it. However Team 1's leader was in a car accident two days before training began and Karl was selected to go in his place.

Despite how he acts, he has never seen action other then training drills.

Surprisingly, he apparently has a good sense of humour though rarely shows it.

Modern meets Fantasy RP

Still looking for people

A Realm Beyond Our Own

Before I begin a character sheet, I have a few questions:
1) I love the backstory and I'm intrigued about how the portal even opened up. Would it be far-fetched that my character be from a neighboring planet? I have a whole story set up and she happens to be one of the characters.
2) Speaking of the character, she's an alien. Humanoid looking but once you see them fight, you'll understand the differences. I also have some information regarding their anatomy and physiology.

@Din

A bit yea, the RP's story is going to be focused around modern human reaction towards a sudden appearance of other sentient races and their reaction to the sudden appearance of a race that is much much MUCH more advanced then theirs. Throwing in an alien from another planet would kinda kill that mood.

Also I plan to try and keep combat realistic (as realistic as a group of people fighting against a fantasy novel can get) so having a character be able to outperform the others would kinda upset that and throw off the purpose of the RP.

Not that I want to dash your dreams just I feel like it wouldn't fit at all, sorry.
