Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

@Andromedai

Please contact KingKonrad, Andromedai.

This RP is only taking people who pass an interview, and have the commitment and drive to stick through this.

Your chance of getting in will depend on the interview. This is the only way you're getting in, besides the iron core inner circle, everyone here went through the same interview process. No exceptions.

You guys are all adorable.

By "max rank" I meant the rank we were all allowed to give our characters at sign up. I just find it a little amusing.

I decided to pick a relatively low rank, just for varieties sake.

Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

Done bloody done! I'm good and ready all prepped and good to go.

I don't find it at all surprising that everyone made their characters pretty much max rank. Besides myself.

Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

I just need to finish the bloody background and bio for my character and I'm almost done. Keen!

Just that one last bloody step.

@WilsonTurnerThat's comedy gold right there.

I spent an hour refamilarizing myself with Wildcat ammo the other day. And it was only today when I was told, "Try it out." Seems it's all good.

Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

Made some huge strides with my character sheet. Doing quite well so far.

Anyone sees something wrong let me know.

Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP)

CS Complete! Fuckin' A plus!

Name: Tyler "Blacktail" Crowstep

Gender: Male

Nationality+Special Forces Origin: Canadian, CSOR/CJIRU (Canadian Special Operations Regiment/Canadian Joint Incident Response Unit)

Age: 31

Appearance

On the ground somewhere in Colombia. *Information blacked out* Seen here without CBRN Kit.

A good old Canuck. Full blooded Algonquin, out of Southern Ontario. Standing a decent 6 foot even. Dark Brown eyes, with the iconic "redskin" of the First Nations people. Weighing in at a solid 210 pounds of Canadian muscle. One of the very rare First Nations people who can grow a full beard. He's a powerful guy. With a great deal of upper body strength, and a powerful set of legs. Endurance is not a problem for him. during combat he wears the CADPAT fatigues under his tactical assault vest with combat harness.

A pair of black wrap-around tactical glasses shade his eyes when faced with glare, otherwise he's bare faced for the most part. He's almost always wearing a pair of treated combat gloves, so he doesn't have to throw on those big clunky gloves that many CBRN operators wear. He'll always have a black treated and rubberized face mask with a high grade filter with atleast two more filters in reserve on him. Witht he way chemical, biological and radiological hazard can be used it's never a bad thing to be prepared.

Personality

"Fuckin' eh!" Tends to be the words you hear from him. Off turf as it were he's quite laid back, friendly even, Canucks are like that. They are the world's peacekeepers, taking over after the conquering force leaves. So they all take it like a kiss to the cheek. If he's not playing cards somewhere on his own, waiting for a polite opponent, he's tooling up a weapon for someone for the small fee of a cigarette or a roach to puff on in his spare time.

He likes to tell stories. Like the time he went hunting with his father, and shot a hole in the visor of his father's baseball cap. Or popping a grizzly with a .22 at 10 feet. A joker and a story teller. He's not afraid to talk.

On the Turf he's terse. Being a master corporal he's used to being on the receiving end of taking orders, and knows he doesn't have the clout yet to be the one yelling at a senior officer unless he's the one who's got the experience. He's not afraid to chew out a captain if the captain is doing something stupid with something that could be a package of weaponized ebola.

Background

"I remember the Smallpox blankets. I remember the influenza outbreaks. I know what sickness and chemicals can do, my great grandson. Do not fear, medicine, the white man's kind, has come far. They can cure smallpox and halt the flu. But they can also turn it into a weapon. Remember that my child." Those were some of the last words Tyler's great grandfather told him, he died 2 months later, quietly, peacefully in his sleep. But those words struck a cord in Tyler Crowstep. And set him on a path that would take him to a place few people willingly go. He'd been your normal Rez Hooligan, a member of a Rez gang, always getting into fights. He hadn't cared even a small bit about tradition and his culture. But something about those words from his great grand father turned him around. He started paying way more attention in school, took to math and the sciences. His marks soared, his "rep" with the gangs fell, but his rep with the ladies who at first saw just some shithead, but who now saw a young man who is going places hit the roof. He had his fair amount of girlfriends, but nothing serious.

He had places to go and things to do obviously.

He graduated his highschool, and went into university, getting into Bio-sciences. But after a year in university, he felt the call. And joined the Canadian Military. He didn't excel, but he did do pretty good atleast at first. Until he found something he loved. He began CBRN training, and caught the eye of CJIRU. He was phased into the unit. Joining a special operations branch of the military. And by extension he needed to have the skills of that branch. So he also began training with the CSOR. Something clicked. And he learned what it's like to be a true bad ass.

By then he'd been in the military for a decade, maybe a little more.

He was co-opted by the Echo Force, when it became known they might need CBRN operators. By now Tyler was very well experienced. Having gone out on several missions where his expertise had been vital. Saving a division of Canadian soldiers from a trap with several mister nozzles that would have burned theri skin off in seconds. An entire base was saved when a JTF2 team had brought a canister onto the base and had broken it, releasing an extremely virulent form of doctored virus into the populace. Tracking down what it was and where it was coming from had lead to a successful stop of something that could have caused an even bigger problem.

When Echo co-opted him he was fully ready and prepared to do what he has too. No longer just a simple soldier. Ready and willing to do what it takes to keep the people who shouldn't have certain types of power from using it.

Equipment

-Wildcat Heavy hitter rounds for the Colt and the AR-10T. Enhanced rounds with a higher powder count, and retooled casing to allow for a harder impact and more lethal punch. With the downside of the rounds being very expensive to produce and in relatively short supply when available.

-LCD 3.2E chemical detector that he calls, "Milly" and a Type CDV-717 geiger counter that he likes to call "Delia".

-AirBoss C4 CBRN Gas Mask with adjustable filter placement locations for the use of a weapon.

-For full CBRN operations. A full treated and rubberized NBC suit, with sealable arm and leg cuffs, rubber boots, rubber gloves, rebreather and visor.

-His common fatigues are also treated for CBRN usage but at a much lower success rate then the full CBRN/NBC suit he has.

-A Leathermen folding multi-tool, P-SARK with jury rigged quick open release.

Task Force Echo (A Special Forces RP) Interest Check

@kingkonrad How I'm coming across after 2 sentences of inquires in an interest check? Have we RP'd before together or something? Because if we haven't I think its really irrational to start making inane assumptions about what kind of roleplayer I am or what my kind of character is before I've even created one.

So let me put your worries to rest, you don't sound like a dickhead at all, just presumptuous and a little paranoid.

Best of luck with this RP though, regardless of your tone, its a very good concept.

@Dynamo Frokane

Okay. Wow. This could have been taken better couldn't it have been?

Let's try and look at this.

We are not looking for "generic" operatives. Mercenaries, Roughnecks and Contractors, which was your major choice, are not what we are looking for here. This is a slightly more serious RP then that. As it's far, far too easy to just pin that role in and let it roll. A serious idea calls for a little more serious thought into what a character should be.

Let's face it a "private-hired ops marksman" is horribly generic and just wouldn't fit into a team of highly trained and specifically kitted soldiers that are going to be in this RP. It doesn't mesh.

We thank you for your interest, but we just don't think you have the drive and serious imagination to succeed in this RP.
