@FrozenEcstasy XD The best ideas are often the stolen ones ;)
ALSO,
If you guys are bored and want some reading material regarding the RP, Pundii and I did a 1x1 RP that explains a little bit of a backstory of Marcus "The Iron Hand" (pre-augmentation) and the 32nd Unit, when they were part of a shit-tier militia in the Syrian Civil War. The RP is here, please don't post anything there. Ask me in this thread for all related questions. K? :)
I also moved the NPCs to the Characters tab so they'll be much easier to find, and list updates to.
@Din @Framing A Moose @Rainbow It's fine anyway, I probably won't be posting until like a day or two afterwards. Gotta let everyone introduce themselves. XD
Well there's no order. Someone posts first, and people post with details regarding the first post, and then someone posts with details to the post above, and so on and so forth. There's no post order, though you shouldn't post until like 3 other people have/until the person you're solely interacting with replies. If we're waiting for someone, or if the RP is held up for some reason, we can always to a timeskip or a flashback post, or skip the person we're waiting for if the person hasn't replied in 2-3 days (or more depending on speed of RP).
Also, it's been years since I've roleplayed, let alone group roleplayed. Is there an order to the posting? How does it work?

@Rainbow Kinda helps when you have done shit tons of research on such topics. ^_^ #ihavenolife
@Framing A Moose I don't know. Probably around 12PM-1PM because I gotta work in the morning.

@Rainbow Well most third-world countries are still using AK-47s, though some of the more better-funded countries, like those of Turkey, Iraq, Iran and (now) Kurdistan are using some of the new tech that most industrialized/post-industrialized countries have, which is that of goggles with HUDs, new ballistic armor, arm-bound computer tools and other stuff like that.
Soldiers look a bit like this in the Western nations and soldiers look a bit like this in Eastern nations. However in countries like Colombia, Kurdistan and Turkey, they have a whole lot of armory and tech that we see in IRL today.
The 32nd Peshmerga Unit will look like this (for both men and women) and carry weapons like these (VHS-2 rifles purchased from Croatia). While they are leftovers from 2010s development, they still work very well, even against 2020s tech demonstrations. The Turkish Army looks a bit like this, and carries these weapons (MPT-76 rifles developed in Turkey). The Colombian Army (as of now) remains relatively the same, with a few upgrades, but no new developments... yet.
Drones, jets, tanks, APCs and all of that are still in use, but some countries (especially Kurdistan) are adopting South African MRAPs to replace their humvees, as they are very effective in defense against IEDs and other explosives (which is very useful when fighting ISIS and other jihadi holdouts).

Daran nodded, chuckling a little bit himself at Marcus' statement. "Well, keep it that way." He said. After all was said and done, he nodded. "Damn straight. Let's send Daesh to hell!" He shouted, to which Tara nodded, moving in with the ten other soldiers. As they moved in, Daran looked to Marcus after the jihadi was downed. "Good shot." He said casually as he moved in with them. Approaching the gates with Marcus, they all stacked up at the walls. Before they moved in, Daran spoke quietly on the radio. "Bütün takımlar taşıyın. Biz köy alıyor." He said. "Hareket et! Move!" He signalled, and immediately, the small group of 10 fighters moved into the village.
It was a scene of destruction. Many dead bodies covered in dust and sand were strewn out all over the place, some killed by the predator missiles, some others killed by the bullets fired at them. The buildings were nearly destroyed, but the ones that were safe to house anyone were the ones being cleared by the YPG. As Marcus skipped a few of the houses, a few teams of three went into some of the houses, clearing them out. Daran ordered Tara to follow Marcus, to which she complied, following him.
Tara nodded to Marcus, and when he performed Open and Clear, she ran in with him, checking the corners. While they were clearing out the building, Tara stopped as she checked a room. "Captain!" She called out.
Shakeel Zahra
Shakeel groaned as he lay down on the ground. It wasn't until later that he felt the shrapnel from the explosion all through his back and belly. Was God going to take him today? He couldn't tell, but if he wasn't gonna make it, he hoped to go out knowing that he did something to the enemy... to those heathens, to those Kurds, and to those damned Americans.
Shakeel opened his eyes once he heard the voice of a tough woman calling out "Captain!". He looked up. Standing in the doorway was a YPG fighter, carrying an assault rifle, aiming it straight at him. The look on her eyes was seething with rage and hatred. This was definitely one of those heathen Kurds... those who are destined for hell. A woman, nonetheless!
Shakeel coughed. "You think you've won?" He asked, in Arabic, which Marcus is most likely to understand. "The Caliphate will make you all burn in... *cough* ...hell!" He groaned. "This is the only true way, this is God's way... you are working with the devil! You are working with the Westerners... the Americans! They will... *cough* use you... until they can no longer make money from you! These... *cough* techno demons... they'll stop.. at nothing... they will destroy you! The world belongs to the Muslims! The only true... word of God!"
Tara Sunwar
Tara stood there, rifle aimed at the terrorist across from her, laying against the wall. She listened to what he had to say, and she chuckled. "Is that all you got?" She asked in Arabic. "You're as cliche as the rest of them! You and your... big bad Caliphate." She said. "You have caused an untold amount of pain to who knows how many innocent people. And all for what, so you can teach them a religion that they already follow? I understand your hatred towards the West, trust me, I hate them too... but it's their damned politicians that do this, not the people!" She shouted. "No true believer of God will murder his followers in cold blood, let alone in his name! This is our land... for the Kurds, for us all! You should've kept your so-called 'Islamic State' inside your damn house!" She spat at him.
"What?" The woman asked. "Wait, no! Come back!" She called out after him, trying to cover his movement, shooting after the jihadis that posed a threat to him. She continued to fire, shooting down a few jihadis.
Daran saw Marcus run out onto the crater. "No! Marcus! Come back!" He called out after him, popping out and shooting his M16 at a few more jihadis, keeping them into cover.
"Target confirmed! We are engaging in free fire now, get to cover!" The UAV pilots said over the radio.
Tara immediately stepped out of cover, walking slowly as she casually at the gate. "Onun kaçış kapsayan ediyorum!" Tara shouted, letting loose a few rounds before looking to Marcus. "C'mon, Marcus! Over here!" She shouted, gesturing to him. Once he ran up to them, Tara stood back behind the truck, and looked to him. Seeing that he got hit in the shoulder, she looked a little concerned before looking back to the gate. "You alright, Captain?" She asked, reloading her assault rifle. "Too dangerous!"
"Yeah... that was too dangerous!" Daran scolded Marcus, though Marcus would know it was more of the type of scolding that a worried parent would have rather than a pissed-off boss. "Over here, behind me. Safe here." He said, pointing to the area behind him while Tara fired again.
"Rifle, rifle... three, two, one..." A missile flew overhead, and went straight down into the village, causing a massive explosion that threw up lots of dust.
Islamic State Detachment
*BOOOOMMM!!!!* Shakeel fell down towards the ground, a mighty gust of wind and pure force pushing him to the ground as shrapnel and dust flew all around him. He coughed, barely able to stand up, looking to his side. His aide was killed, and so were a few jihadis that were behind him. It took a while for the dust to settle, and in the meantime, the ringleader got up, and moved to the nearest building to take shelter in while the jihadis continued to attempt to hold off the YPG forces. He coughed again, resting up against the wall and sitting down.
A few jihadis within the village were running outside, realizing that the village was no longer safe, before they were gunned down by the Kurds' bullets. A few of the others were trapped, and with another hellish missile from those damned American Drones, another cloud of dust flew up.
After the second strike, a few of the YPG members stood up. They saw that the jihadi activity has seriously died down... now was the time to move in for the attack. Daran immediately made a hand signal to move in, and at least eight of the fourteen soldiers moved out from cover, while the others remained behind to cover their flank and tend to the wounded. It was time to move in and take the village.
@Rainbow There's some minor civil conflicts in some third world nations such as that of Chad, Sudan and a few other countries. The war in Syria and Iraq against ISIS was over in 2018 when Kurdistan was granted independence, though. Tensions are building up in between Kurdistan and Turkey (due to the Kurdish government under the control of a quasi-communist party with ties to a separatist movement in Turkey), and Iran is somewhat pissed about Turkey as well. There's been a fascist government takeover in Venezuela, and some rumors are spreading that something like that's gonna happen to Colombia too...
Though Kurdistan is still destroying the remnants of ISIS and other jihadist groups remaining in Syria and Iraq.
@Gilgex Somewhat, cars are still on wheels, and planes still use jet fuel and whatnot. Most of the modes of transportation are running on much more efficient energy, have massive cosmetic upgrades, have projected displays on the windshields, all kinds of safety and comfort features and are using all LEDS for their lights and stuff, but in the grand scheme of things, it's really the same (except for the fact that some of the more expensive vehicles can now drive themselves) The first 50 seconds of this video has some of the tech demonstrated. Small inexpensive desalinization plants, speedy magnetic monorails and other stuff like that are making strides in the Western World, though, but in places like Colombia, they got the leftovers of the modern tech that we see today (as in IRL today), with some small tech (like wrist-bound computers, transparent and small cell phones, and other stuff like that) seeing some prevalence among middle-class Colombians.
Also, alternative energy is making huge strides all around the world.
