"What will it take to save what remains?"


Character Sheet

Roleplay


Plot

In 2001, an operation known as "Dark Winter" was launched, which was a real-world exercise that tested the emergency response to a bioterror attack or a outbreak in the United States. The operation was done on a large populated town in Oklahoma and it spiraled out of control within a few days and the operation predicted that a "breakdown in essential institutions," civil disorder, and massive civilian casualties would happen. It revealed how vulnerable the United States became and how the people have became depended on their lifestyle, security, safety, and a delicate and unstable economy. In 2007, a new Presidential directive was secretly signed that was put into law by President Bush. This executive order, known as Directive 51, was created to respond to a national crisis such as "Dark Winter." Rumors of sleeper cells, shadow agencies, and covert operations relating to the directive were spread within the President's Cabinet. Seven years later, on November 23rd, the day known as "Black Friday", a virus spread through banknotes and then spread through human skin, food, and toys; it caused millions of people in America to become infected. Within five days, the virus causes the United States to break down and fall apart: After the fifth day, President Obama activated Directive 51 and the classified units of highly trained, self-supported tactical agents known as “The Division” were sent all over America to prevent society from falling and restore hope.

How the United States fell in five days

November 23rd (Day Zero): Black Friday happened and the unknown virus spreads around the United States.
November 24th (Day One): Hospitals all over America reached full capacity and the panic had begun.
November 25th (Day Two): Quarantine zones were established all over America, resources became rationed as people began to take, transports had gone into complete lockdown, and protests began all over America.
November 26th (Day Three): The President stopped International trade, the oil dried up as people used it to get out of the cities or the countries and gas stations became wastelands, stock market collapsed due to the stop of international trade , the borders of Mexico and Canada closed it's gates, and the protests turned into riots.
November 27th (Day Four): The power shut down in America, shelves at stores became empty, water pipes ran dry, and riots became more violate
November 28th (Day Five): Hunger and despair took hold of the people and they are willing to do anything for those things and everyone became a potential threat.
If you have any questions, just ask me.

I might be possibly interested. Of course, we both know the most important question a person can ask.

Will there be call signs?

Oh, and I'll be a little busy between the 2nd and the 10th as I'll be on vacation with little to not computer access. Just warning you, mostly.

Ironicaly, Executive Directive 51 (more on the Continuity of Operations initiative side) exists to prevent Day Four from happening. Directive 51 and COOP requires to ensure that agencies are able to continue performance of essential functions under a broad range of circumstances (In this case: Virus). If they fail to work, Directive 51 shall fail in a chaos theory and The Division and it's agents will fall apart. Think of Directive 51 as a House of Cards, one is removed and the whole thing falls apart...

Byeeeoooooooop.

I love that noise. Sifter, if you get Sonar Goggles, I want something too. Maybe a chain-saw machine gun. I want myself some drones. A techie who can build ones ranging from little ball-sized ones to dog-sized. Of course, since the time is set during 2007, I'm assuming it'll be a little far fetched. I probably could just go for a sniper rifle, if that's the case.

Nope. It's not set in 2007, president Bush just wrote the Directive that year. I guess it's set somewhere in winter 2014-2015.

Such, but now that I think since you want Sonar Goggles and SirBeowulf wants a drone. I think that each person shall a unique thing with them (only one thing is allowed).

Well, there is still power, but in form of generators and solar panels. Yet, I got one more thing with you...


..a House of Cards, one is removed and the whole thing falls apart...


You sooo took that from the E3 2013 trailer (well almost and if you knew that you did). Go to 58 seconds and see what I mean.

Well, you can have a drone, but I'm not such of one that goes from little ball-sized ones to dog-sized. I'll have to do some thinking on that :p
Also, we need ONE MORE PERSON so I can make the OOC and the CS.

Oh, I guess I had just gotten a bit confused where it came to time setting. Anyway, by dog sized drones, I was thinking of something like this. Of course, it would probably be easier to go with something small and light, and aerial too.

Oh, the Big Dog. Such, if you want something loud and big, that the bandits/gangs can either hear or see it. I'd say go for something small, light and goes fast when enemies spot it. But, if you want it, by I means go ahead.

Oh, I was just showing it off. Preferably, I'd rather have something small and light. Would you be against something like this?

It would probably be roughly the size of a cubic foot overall, and would be rather fragile. Plus, it has a bit of a lack of mobility, so it couldn't go through ruined areas. Still, it would have decent firepower, yet not attract unwanted attention.

Mmm, very tempted. What would be the RP's focus? Spec ops or more of a survival theme.

Well, I really want the RP's focus to show both the Spec Ops and a survival theme. Like, we walk through a New York that is affected by this virus and try to rebuild society; yet, we also get to know each other (within the group of course). There will be bandits/gangs that will try to stop us so they could loot our gear, which means that we have to work together as a team in order to survival and save society from falling. Yet, we try to help either rebuild or improve the quarantine zones and get to know the citizens and learn their story. So there is going to be lots of NPCs, since New York City is the largest populated city in America.

In short, I want the RP's focus to show both Spec Ops and the survival theme; yet, I also want characters that change their feelings about their teammates and get to know them more.
Well, if you are going to join us, then we have our third person. Which means that none else can join until one of the three drops out.

Well, I was going to see about reprising my character from the last round, as well as see about bringing a good friend along, but I suppose I'll have to wait. Good luck, hopefully this one takes off better than the last one :D

Yeah, sorry about that. You and your friend will be on the waiting list. If someone leaves or drops out, I'll make such to tell you as soon as I can.

So its only a three-man squad? I wouldn't exactly call that a squad. Its more akin to a fire team than a squad.
