Backstory for newer people:
December 31st, Year 2020 was the start of the war between the normal and the paranormal. Just as the western world was celebrating the eve of the new year, they attacked. During Times Square's annual ball drop and while shouts of “Happy New Year” echoed the area, the attacks commenced! The civilians of New York City were absolutely in shock and awe, due to the holiday letting the guard down. Unbeknownst to the supernatural forces, humanity would retaliate after a reeling assault. The armed forces across the world defended their nations from the attacks happening across the globe. However, despite dealing some damage to the enemy forces, they kept coming. Not even nuclear weapons stopped the otherworldly enemies in their tracks.
After grueling defeats in the name of species preservation, the UN realized that alone the nations cannot stop the threat. On August 1st, 2021, humanity formed a new line of defense. The elite, multinational, paramilitary team known as ParaCom was formed to act as the specialized line of defense against this threat. Thanks to heavy investments from the UN and all monetary sources, ParaCom has access to the top notch technology, science, engineers, and soldiers. The fate of mankind rests in their hands.
Adversary Inside's Prologue:
The war still continues. During the spring of 2022, the humans and the paranormal fought to what seemed to be a standstill. However, the enemy leadership was resorting to using underhanded tactics. Rumors of human sleeper agents have arisen and formed a group codenamed "Extol." Whether they are brainwashed, bribed, or bullied into paranormal service, they would be seen as traitors to humanity and fought tantamount to the paranormal forces.
As for playing hardball, two can play at that game. Science and technology has came up with solutions to combat the new threats. The former has proposed gene splicing from the fallen paranormals to enhance the troops. Technology offered cybernetic augmentations as well as robotic support. Either way, ParaCom would accept the solutions equally, as both have their perks and quirks.
TLDR: The expansion to the RP, ParaCom: Adversary Uncertain and follows with new enemies and features. The previous RP involved a supernatural/paranormal invasion, humanity fighting back, and reverse engineering their technologies and abilities.
Here will be our OOC posts. Feel free to post up to three characters per player using the sheet as a template.
Name:
Country of origin:
Specialty: Assault (Close Quarters Battle, with shotguns, assault rifles, submachine guns, etc.), Sniper (Long Distance Fighting), Support (Combat Medic, using assault rifles, PDWs--Personal Defense Weapons, etc.), Heavy (Large Weapons such as machine guns as well as Explosives) for normal classes. Splice Soldiers (genetically augmented troopers) and WREC (Weaponized Robotic Exoskeleton Chassis---cybernetic soldiers) Troopers are now available. I will also give one character slot for all players for non-human allies.

USEFUL RP NEWS AND NOTES:
*Those who sign up before the official RP posts are automatically promoted to Squaddie until further notice. Any questions? Give me a shout.
*Derpestein is our co-GM. Confirmation is Here. His roles are being ported to the expansion RP from the old one.
*Those who resign during the RP will have their characters at the mercy of the GM and co-GM(s). Consider yourself warned.
*Each player can create up to three operatives. I recommend that every player create three in case one operative dies off in battle.
*Keep in mind that the RP will still be open for new sign ups after the official posts are deployed.
Before we start, I'll post official rules so we can all enjoy the RP.
1.) No power gaming or "god modding" because we want a modicum of logic.
2.) Game play and story will be integrated, so let's not try to break either one.
3.) No auto-hitting or called hits so we can be fair. This describes a fighting action whereby a character is attacking another character and ASSUMES to have hit them without the other characters response being considered.
4.) Have fun during the RP!
5.) Combat will also be similar to the XCOM games with also a dice system. As a GM, I will use tons of mathematics to decide outcomes.
