I WAS writing up an app, but power went out and we lost internet for several days.

I'm still in, though. I was doing a chararacter that was a Private-Military-Contractor, a PMC, hired by the United States Army to do foreign combat aid. He was sent in to Russia to assist with the crisis. If he comes out alive and the situation is resolved, the US can say "We did it!" If it goes south, then they can say that they tried, but failed, while also telling the public that it's a remote incident that they had nothing to do with.

Cause yeah. Politics

Chernarus ;) not Russia. It's a fictional ex-Soviet state, like Ukraine or Belarus. Thought I'd better point that out before you made any errors.

To save you all time, Arma 2 was based around the Chernarussian civil war. The democratic government got overthrown by communist rebels, the US intervened, some terrorists bombed Moscow's Red Square, which then caused the Russians to step in. The Americans withdrew to avoid confrontation, but an American team that was left behind in the evacuation went on a hunt for evidence, to convince the Russians that the terrorist bombings were perpetrated by the Communists -- who the Russians were supporting. 

Long story short, 'Merica, fuck yeah!

This RP starts six years after the conclusion of the civil war, where a bitter old man takes out his vengeance on Chernarus and the whole world, using a biological weapon he helped create in the 40's, 50's and 60's. So that's what the intro is all about, in any case. 

Naturally, the Russians know from the reports that RAGE is a likely suspect, and as they made it, they know full well its effects. That's why the Spetsnaz are moving in, to confirm that it's RAGE they're dealing with. The Americans meanwhile have caught on to the Kremlin's panic, and want to know themselves what's occurring. 

Meanwhile the CDF (Chernarussian Defence Forces) are moving in, going for a kind of all out war against the infected, which they may well lose.

Welcome aboard in any case. I think we have enough to start with, so I'll go and get the OOC up.
