[hr] This will be focused on being able to operate from either the perspective of counter terrorist or terrorist units. It is possible to delve into playing as both, although we will pick one to begin and either side will be capable of offense and defense. It is advisable to create two operators although the same operator can be used for either. I would also like to say that it could be possible to use existing operators but whether or not they will be used permanently is up in the air. As it would be preferable to upkeep your own unique operators. Anime style or realistic is allowed for profiles although I would prefer it if your character age is 22+ with the exception of 18+ for recruits of either Rainbow or Octopus. I would rather this be the exception than the norm but if you can make it work then it may just be allowed. [hr] [hider=Rainbow Seven] https://youtu.be/kij6YBbU2jI Chaos erupts in the street as news reporters give their daily warnings and plead for citizens to take refuge in their homes. The operations commenced by terrorist groups and counter operations conducted by various specialist units are at an all time high. Your task force is assembled from all over the world. You bring your own talents, strengths, and experience. Some of you are as fresh as they come but with potential. Hand picked by various commanders and trusted under a new name. Rainbow Seven. Together, you will find the means necessary to eliminate the White Masks. Although fledgling, we believe you will be one of many units which will be capable of handing these merciless fiends. I will be your director. Codename: Seven. [/hider] [hr] [hider=Silver Octopus Legion] https://youtu.be/WQJxqXo8_cY Comrades, the time is now. Although our efforts have been recognized by our superiors, we have yet to gather the necessary materials to forward our plans for the future. With special operators on our heels we have found struggle in our cause. The government rallies the people against us, but our own friends speak highly of us in our efforts against the corrupt regimes. As you know, we have been selected to prevent the collapse of crucial holdings and to ensure the capture of vital resources. To avenge our fallen, to prevent the total control by the governments of the world, and to provide a better future for those to come we must strike with undying strength. We fight for true liberty and to end these needless assaults against our people. The end of censorship, the end of systematic oppression, the rebirth of an age of truth forged from the flames of war! I have been assigned to be your director. Call me Legion. My specialists, you are the finest we have. We award you for your bravery. We salute you for your merits. Be proud to wear the title of Silver Octopus. I worked my way to my position and in time may it be so that you too are a part of this grant movement. And for those of you among us who have recently adopted your white masks, be proud. You are the bright future of our growing cause. It is because of you specialists that we can afford to direct funding to the poor who have been neglected. We can give to those who have nothing. We are the bright new future for those who have been oppressed by the elites of the so called democracies of the world. It is because of you that I can rest easy knowing my daughter will get the education and supplies she deserves. I know that not all that we have done has been ethical, and even now you may have doubt, but trust in the White Masks. You have seen how we help those in need. You know how the media keeps our good deeds in the dark. Let us free those prisoners stuck in their daily jobs being worked to the bone for less than enough to feed themselves, let alone their families, and may it be that together… we can calmly put an end to our unethical deeds. Brothers, sisters, children of the cause… we will put an end to this chaos… once and for all! [/hider] [hr] SIEGE is a series of campaigns designed to lead up to major conflicts in a sort of end game. You will play as Operators who will improve with time. You will have your own unique codenames and gadgets with allowance to borrow concepts from existing operators or brand new ones. What the limit for gadgets would then be is a question of your creativity guided by the possibility presented by Rainbow Six. Weapons may be preexisting although custom weapons may be reviewed for approval. Should your operator be downed they can be extracted based on circumstance or can be killed. Romance might be touched on more off objective but it is likely that I will take time to prep maps and objects with objectives and stories. The introduction of counter operators who will exist with their own gadgets, borrowed from other operators or completely new, are to challenge your own. This will be an RP of planning and execution meaning there will be periods of planning allotted both IC and OOC to give a more realistic feel to the knowledge of the operators you play as as well as the expertise given by Seven and Legion. At the moment I will consider Intelligence/Supply Points as a way to support operators on offense and defense which will reveal things about the map before or during engagement. This would come in the form of dropping in care packages, calling in support units based on the map which could include back up units, smoke mortars, sniper support, and other benefits such as active scanning rooms or installing new cameras. NPCs will be controlled both by myself and you as players. As mentioned before, I will be taking time to plan maps so in the meantime one of two things can happen. 1: Wait and discuss things while I work on the map [Which could very well be a month or so to produce depending on scale.] 2: Participate with each other on smaller scale operations or general roleplay in downtime to get to know each other better as allies IC while awaiting for deployment. I know this sounds like a rather ambitious roleplay, but I’ve had the itching to at least get this idea out there. I’d like a minimum of 5 to fulfill the R6 Quota It could be possible that with co-Dms we could set up sub-directors who assist Legion and Seven with managing their collective groups and if the numbers aren’t high enough to commit a full 5 team to the sub groups then they can be enabled to work with adjustment to difficulty so to speak. If we so desire and if we have the appropriate number of co-dms we could probably just make siege attempts with lower numbers in mind. This RP will include a grey morality for both organizations so if you're not a fan of the bad guys having redeemable qualities or the good guys having shady history then this is not the RP for you. The pace of this RP will be slower than others and will operate in rotations (first, second, third, etc) and hybrid (order of posting and collaboration of posted based on the circumstances)
