"Excitement continues to build up across the planet in anticipation of the 13th anniversary of Unity Day!" A reporter was live on TV by a monument to the Emergence Entity. Unity Day was the holiday designated by the Emergence Entity government to celebrate the transition of its precursor, the Articles of Alliance, into the form Griffin knew and hated. The monument was at least a dozen meters/yards tall, a gold-colored statue representative of a human and a humanoid being holding hands together and side to side. "Thousands line up at the site of the Ebony and Ivory Concordat, celebrating the formation of the Emergence Entity!"

Another reporter was doing his job on the other side of the city. "Keeping their promises, the Emergence Entity built dozens of new Miracle Clinics in select cities despite attacks from fringe elements. Operations are thankfully remaining unaffected." The massive crowd cheered the arrival of Secretary Scarlett Sable, who acted as the voice of the Emergence Entity and thus the representative. She appeared as a youthfully gorgeous green-eyed redhead who used her features and charisma to charm the spectators. The male reporter announced her arrival, beaming with excitement. "Now here she comes, Secretary of the Emergence Entity...Scarlett Sable!"

She spoke in a smooth and clear manner, addressing the crowd. "A number of dissidents and malcontents repeat the mistakes of the old world. Striking our friends from the other side of existence, who only bring friendship and cooperation. Yet these tiny actions cannot break the bond between us and the Al'San. Your quality of life and safety matters to us the most! Not even I can understand why these malcontents keep attacking. Thus...I humbly ask that if you see something, say something!"

Applauds rang as a response to the last sentence. She blushed as she curtsied. The popularity wasn't without nuisance; her mailboxes, both electronic and physical, received floods of letters from adoring fans. After she left the audience, Sable wrote a note to herself on how to handle it. The note read: "Arrange a raffle by next month."

Mission 1: Operation Red Plunder

February 27th, 2035, approximately 9 PM local time

Onboard the Nemesis, flying across Asia, Commander John Doe got a report from his interface. The head of a resistance cell quickly informed him that there is a convoy just waiting to be plundered. With the intel received, John Doe announced the new mission, hoping it would draw the operatives like a moth to a flame.

"Alright people, we acquired a prime target to fill up our supplies and fuel our war effort! Now that we got the coordinates, we're deep striking right beside a supply convoy. Our friends in the resistance sabotaged, so a good majority of the forces have been neutralized. The rest we just have to clean up. This opportunity won't last forever. So let's hit them before the double-E bastards rescue the suckers!"

The grizzled commander quickly briefed the Griffin volunteers on the mission with useful details whenever they needed to know. Since the Emergence Entity favored subterfuge over brute force, the hidden convoy was exposed by the rebels and promptly sabotaged. As the convoy was caught in the woods, they were lost and trapped. While this moment was only fish in a barrel, this was also a test to see if the new recruits were up to snuff.

Ronan oversaw the new recruits. Differing backgrounds meant a calculated risk. Ronan quickly typed up a memo for the commander, "Since we're dealing with a ragtag bunch of misfits, we gotta adjust our cohesion. The ones that lack in training, they compensate with grit." He, Shahab, and Laleh boarded a transport that would take them there. The Nemesis was fortunately big enough to house a few VTOL transports for a quick strike. All three were ready to raid, waiting on others to arrive.

Are you all ready? Going to set up the first mission within some hours. Once it's up, feel free to jump in!

Project Griffin

@AzenExile A much better application. This one is approved.

Project Griffin

Name: Santiago Matthias
Country of origin: Spain
Class (AKA Specialty): Machine gunner / Bombardier
Appearance: storage1.censor.net.ua/images/0/6/9/2…
Bio: Santiago was once a Spanish soldier. Once. Now that this mess happened, he wondered what he should do. He didn't want to fight for people who might not actually be people. He also didn't want to fight for the wrong army against the wrong enemy. And most of all, he had to find a better world for his sister, who was also a soldier like him. She, though, has lost her legs. Now, he is forced to take care of her alone. With no family left, he entrusted her to a few friends from the army and went on to join Griffin.

Skills: Using a machine gun, first aid, weapons repair and defense.

@AzenExile

I winced when I was reading this. With such a bare-bones and half-hearted application compared to the rest of the previous ones, I'm not sure if I have the stomach to accept it.

Project Griffin

I too approve! @FlappyTheSpybot

You got the green light to port it over.

Project Griffin

Name: Ronan Stark

Country of origin: United States of America

Class (AKA Specialty): Commando, reconnaissance.

Appearance: Without his armor, he has red hair and hazel eyes.

Ronan under armor

Bio: Originally raised by adopted parents, his life turned upside down after the Emergence Entity took over. He was put into a facility to indoctrinate him into the peace-keepers and trigger-happy puppets for the alien occupation of the planet; a generic goon for a one-world dictatorship! However, he refused to be their slave. Giving them the slip, he survived on the fringes and criminal underworld. During his time since escape, he formed valuable connections that helped him out more than once. This eventually led him to meet the upstart resistance movement, Project Griffin.

Shooting first and asking questions later helped him survive on the streets. A man of few words, he knew actions spoke louder. Over the years, he developed a doctrine against the aliens: Ronan prefers stealth first, then attacking with a barrage of buckshot.

Personality: As the first one in and the last one out, brash, brave, and bold are the three "B's" when on the field. Out of the field, he doesn't speak unless spoken to. He is selective in speech to reflect being a man of few words. Generally is no-nonsense in the fight for Griffin. However, he may have his moments...

Skills:
- Stealth
- Close Quarters Battle
- Reconnaissance

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Shahab Eftekhari

Country of origin: United States of America

Class (AKA Specialty): Bombardier, demolitions expert

Appearance: Under the armor is brownish-to-rusty hair, and green eyes. He often shaves, leaving a stubble under the gas mask.

Armor itself

Bio: Born to Iranian-American immigrants, he was raised with two other siblings. They were all well off by the time the Xenos arrived. When his little brother was taken by the Emergence Entity, he stopped what he was doing and banded together with his sister to find him. He didn't think the Xenos were malicious until they came for the little brother. Working under the table with his sister, they eventually discovered Griffin and joined up.

Personality: Tactful and refined, Shahab is well-mannered and diplomatic like most of his race. His goody two-shoes demeanor may be irritating to the jaded, but he merely wishes to prevent his organization (Griffin) from stooping down to the Xenos' levels. The Iranian-blooded bombardier believes that if they act barbaric, they'll be just like the Xenos they hate. He also advocates a logical and open-minded approach, believing that "if you are too close to the elephant, you won't see the whole elephant." The big picture must be reviewed before taking action. His engineering background provides him with the mentality and the aptitude for being a bombardier and with repairs if needed.

Skills:
- Bomb making
- Demolitions
- Machinegun use

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Laleh "Lily" Eftekhari

Country of origin: United States of America

Class (AKA Specialty): Apothecary, specializing in healing (Mender)

Appearance: Dyed dirty blonde hair typically in a bun, alabaster skin tone from avoiding the sun and copious amounts of sunscreen, brownish eyes typically concealed with sunglasses, and the overall size of a typical Persian woman. Her body is well sculpted and toned.

Bio: Like her brother Shahab, she was raised in by the same Iranian immigrant family within the United States. She was studying medicine and graduated from medical school before the Emergence Entity was founded. Lily briefly worked at the Miracle Centers the Xenos set up until she left and fled the city. Disgusted by what happened, especially as their youngest and little brother was kidnapped, she joined Griffin along with her older brother Shahab.

Personality: Persian princess on outside, humble on the inside. Lily prefers to get the job done rather than rely on others, with that mentality being shaped by her position as the middle sibling. She also has a habit of not trusting others outside of her family, as her brother was kidnapped by the Xenos. Alongside her brother, Lily brings everything she has to Griffin’s table.

Skills:
- Marksmanship with a dart gun and assault rifle
- Combat medic
- First aid response

((Just in case they weren’t visible.))
