THIS RP IS CLOSED- IF YOU WANT TO INQUIRE ABOUT A VACANCY, PM ME AND I WILL BE IN CONTACT, WITHIN 48 HOURS. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED IF YOU POST A CS. (or seriously, you'll be very lucky to live afterwards) --------------- Within the cellars of the MI6 building in London, England, there is a lift shaft that takes you about 20 meters underground. To get to that lift, you'll need to go through at least two retina scans, two pinpricks analyzing your blood, a dozen armed agents at their posts, and two very large steel doors. By this point, you are potentially the most extravagant and avant-garde of any operator working at MI5. You have Black Clearance, allowing you to piss off the roof if you so wished. Nobody knows what is on the other side of the lift doors, when you reach the bottom, apart from a small, select few. That select few is the section known as "Sierra Vanguard". Sierra Vanguard was set up a SIS task force to ward off the face of international terrorism, in the face of increasingly ballsy terror attacks. It was an organization that could trace it's routes back to the post Second World War era, combating Nazi Partisans and Communist Guerrillas in the wake of Germany's partition in 1945. It is a secret service working at the highest level of discretion, not actually affiliated entirely with the British government. The only people that acknowledge and know of it's existence, is the Head of MI6, and the Secretary General of the United Nations. The force is mostly British, though other intelligence agencies transfer their most exceptional talent to the section to augment it's power in either information warfare or boots on the ground. The task force was always small, but the pinnacle of a wider effort by the intelligence services. Always lavishly provided for, it's agents as competent in a casino dealing with huge sums of money as they were sneaking into complicated military installations. A needle-precise force that could deal with threats worldwide, using methods not available to any force in the world. Within 24 hours, it's agents can be deployed, and no threat is too large for them to take on. In today's world, Sierra Vanguard still operate as a force for good, against security threats worldwide, making sure that the wrong people don't make the wrong moves. Their operators have adopted to the modern world, and are armed with the latest spy gadgets, devices and weaponry to get the job done, and their digital support is as good as the physical agents. They are multilingual, and are as confident playing high stakes poker as they would be strangling guards. Witty, charming, a unique taste that an agent needs, even in 2015. On many an occasion in the past, a Communist nuclear plot has been foiled by the brave men and women of Sierra Vanguard. Other times, the plans by rogue warlords in Columbia to sell drugs with dangerous, society-destroying hallucinogenics. Other times, it's been assassination plots on world leaders, from Thatcher to Bush, Ban-Ki-Moon to different groups of Popes. Sometimes, lives have been lost. But the world has no idea how much it owes to this tiny group. There is only one problem. It's operators, as stated by section head, codename "Kingmaker", are "a colorful group". And while the job always gets done....it's operators are one of a kind. Welcome to Sierra Vanguard. --- There we have it. An RP conjured up from the inspirations of many Spy fictions, Sierra Vanguard is as bespoke as a Saville Row suit. You need to be made of the right stuff. Inspiration for the RP includes Kingsman: The Secret Service, James Bond films (old and new), Splinter Cells (various), The Man from UNCLE, Spooks (UK series) along with references to previous RPs that I have ran with the three. So, your operator. Bugcatcher. Liberty. Lancaster. Kingmaker. Cavalier. All very capable, in their own regards. And very interesting professionals indeed.... ----------- CS SHEET: Name: Codename (Radio Call): Age: Nationality: Role: (Field Agent? Hacker? Section Leader? For now, one of the first two.)
