OOC is up Here



Premise


Life is hard, it is harder when you get older. Doesn't seem to matter which profession you may have chosen in life, eventually you hear those immortal words; "It's a young persons game." Then you are out the door and wondering what to do with your life. That is hard enough if you are in the world of business or medicine; it is even harder when you were trained to kill. What in the hell are you supposed to put on your resume?

Skills:
  • Knife Throwing
  • IED's
  • Stomaching MRE's without my ass blowing out


I mean if you aren't applying for a position as a local NRA weapons cache gaurd, you don't have a lot of options left in the civilian section. It isn't like you can go up to the local Wal-Mart and become a greeter. I mean, seriously, can you imagine the reaction if you were to walk into the door and were greeted with this?



Yeah, unless you have a few screws loose you would probably turn around and walk away as quickly as possible; grabbing your child's hand, telling them not to stare at the strange man, and praying he keeps downing whatever firewater he has in that flask instead of turning his attention towards you.

Only real option is to keep doing what you have always done; and done very well! You need to kill people; not that you like killing, okay maybe you do a little, but you aren't just going out and killing some ass that cut you off in traffic. You are actually going after bad people; really bad people. You need to blow shit up; because most problems can be solved with the proper use of C4. You need to be behind the wheels of 5 tons of hard core steal and titanium, barreling balls to the wall right into the center of hostile territory and popping out the top like a damn stripper out of a birthday cake; unleashing your wrath at anyone and anything in your path.



So grab your guns, your knives, your explosives. Pack up your MRE's and lucky charms. Ready yourself and climb aboard. You are who they call when they need a job done but want it off the books. The ones when they think they have no other options left. Sure you are older, your joints hurt, you're checking the status of your 401k and AARP keeps sending you mail but damn it, you still function! You might be expendable in their books but you ain't going down without a fight because when the shit hits the fan the most dangerous person out in the battlefield is the one with nothing left to loose. That my friend, is you.

Not that it's a heavy priority, given the source material, but do you have any plot elements you could elaborate on? I love me some explosive action, but I'd like to have a solid driving force behind everything.

I have several missions and dossier's worked up for the group as a whole - as far as what they contain I won't elaborate on. I will say that each mission interconnects with another in some form or fashion. (I like to reveal as little possible about missions until the entire group is briefed.) More will be added to the missions and such as Cs's are created and story lines for individual characters come into play so that each member will eventually have a personal stake because of one reason or another in at least one mission if not more.

Is this like Expendables, where we will be encouraged to base our characters off of the 80's/90's action stars, because I think it'd be fun to make a John Cena character.

@mattmanganon Don't have to base your characters off an 80-90's star but you are welcome to. Long as the character age fits and they could pass for that age you should be fine.

@Charnobylisk Caesar and Alicia will most likely be charactering it up - I mean fuck, Caesar is already a walking Expendable with his resume. LMAO
