Metal Gear, Foxhound Reborn
Theme”There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.”
-Ernest HemingwayThe year is 2032, and as usual war is ravaging the world. The weak are defenseless in the face of those with power. They raise their hands up to the sky and scream, “Save us!” but it falls upon deaf ears. The superpowers in the world with all their military might, stand with their hands tied to help those in need, so it falls upon those willing to do the most dangerous of missions to fight on their behalf. They do not do this out of the kindness of their hearts, but for the money that will fill their bank accounts with so many zeros. No matter your past, or your reason for leaving it behind, the path of war always calls back it’s faithful.

You wake up to the sound of a phone ringing, a old jingling type ring. You see it is not a call, but rather a long text message suggesting you retrieve the laptop on the nearby counter. Upon opening the laptop a message reads. “Good morning, you are probably wondering who broke into your room, and deposited a cellphone, and laptop among your personal possessions. Well wonder no more.You have been picked for a once in a lifetime opportunity, an opportunity to join Foxhound, the most elite of all prviate military forces.

A single paper envelope lays on the counter next to your computer, inside a note reads. “Good luck Soldier of Fortune. Maybe one day we can be equals.” Signed, Big Boss

Welcome to the world of Metal Gear Solid, a world of tactical espionage. Where amazing, and horrible things can happen. You will be taking on the role of a Mercenary freshly being inducted into a Special Mercenary Company called Foxhound, to be sent on the most dangerous and specialized missions that they get hired to perform. Are you prepared to become part of Foxhound?
In this RP we will be playing with a serious nature, there may be times where you put yourself in a situation where you cannot escape, if this becomes the case, you may very well be killed. If this were to happen, while creating another character to replace that one we will reward your perseverance to continue in this story with us in some way. We have created a powerful and stunning plot for everyone to enjoy and develop their characters in, that is why I would request that anyone looking to post interest in this to be able to post regularly. Also depending on how well this goes it may or may not lead to a sequel in which characters from this RP that survive will take on new amazing roles in the next.
Every decision will affect what is to come, everything from completing a mission stealthily, completing it in a aggressive way, or even failing the mission completely will affect future events. There will be main missions with side objectives, side missions with side objectives, and even solo missions. Main and side missions can have between 2 and 6 players involved, while solo missions will be a single character in an extremely dangerous situation, but with a high reward payoff. All missions even side and solo missions will affect the story and outcomes. Your character’s performance in their first few missions will determine your character’s unique codename, while before this you are given the codename you will simply go by a color.
We will be utilizing an ally system which we are creatively dubbing “The Buddy” system which will feature a variety of NPCs that can be taken along in missions, or give advice via comm systems. Utilizing, and communicating with these NPCs can affect relationships, future missions, and can even affect if a character survives a mission.
We will be using a squad based RP so everyone will have to take on differentiating roles to extents, for example if everyone was a sniper then the RP would be moot. We will also be applying quite a few game mechanics to the roleplay, though I have only gone slightly into detail about a few here in the Interest check, so there’s a nice bit of meat to chew on in the OOC while you wait for the RP to begin.
And let’s not forget the bees.
