Task Force Zero: A Special Forces RP

@ONL Excellent, accepted!

@kingkonrad All good on my end!

@Gunther Accepted, though out of respect for your service, I feel I should tell you that the vast majority my military knowledge comes from movies and video games, and the story we'll be telling will trend towards that rather than realism. Grounded in realism, yes, but at times, blown into full-on action movie proportions.

@Banana From what you have so far, seems all good!

@BigPapaBelial Yeah, that should be fine, there's a few slight differences between this and what I've read of Echo, but go ahead!

@Grey Rain Few small issues with your CS. I would prefer a real name to go with the nickname. Rank is higher than the limit of Staff Sergeant. And 'lone wolf' is not a role that would work well within the confines of this, seeing as we'll be very team-oriented.

That reminds me, I forgot a section of the CS- the Callsign AKA what we'll be referring to each other as on-mission, seeing as we're a unit that technically doesn't exist, we can't risk the possibility of names being known by the enemy force.

@Banana kingkonrad is correct, 18 would be the bare minimum for enlistment in most countries, though I'm sure that varies in some nations.

@Proxi CS is all good, though most people on here prefer if you post it in the OOC section first for approval. I'm not a stickler for that protocol personally (if I have an issue with a CS, I just get them to edit), but just a heads up for any future RP's you join :)

Task Force Zero: A Special Forces RP

@Proxi Depends on what nationality your character is because I believe there's some variation. I'm Canadian myself, yet the character I'm using is american, so this is the list I used http://www.militaryfactory.com/ranks/army_ranks.asp

@Banana Great! Hope to see a CS from you soon!

Cpt. Upton

Name: James Bradley "J.B." Upton

Callsign: Eagle

Age/Gender: 38 / Male

Nationality: American

Appearance:

Rank: Captain

Preferred Role: Squad Leader/Commando

Brief Background: J.B. grew up near Arlington, Virginia. His family's military roots could be traced back almost to the Civil War. Wanting to keep up the tradition, he enlisted at 18 and spent the next several years climbing up through the ranks of the Marines. He was Command's first choice for the lead operator of Task Force 0, and accepted the posting immediately.

Notes:

-------------------------------------------------------

Sgt. Delgado

Name: Adam Delgado

Callsign: Joker

Age/Gender: 29 / Male

Nationality: Canadian

Appearance:

Rank: Sergeant

Preferred Role: Rifleman

Brief Background: Hailing from Atlantic Canada, Adam never would have imagined his life to go quite like this. Having no idea of what path to follow as he headed out into the world, he followed a friend of his into the armed forces. 5 years ago he was removed from his unit for reasons unknown, and the next time he was heard from was when he arrived at the briefing for Task Force Zero.

Task Force Zero: A Special Forces RP

The newest threat of a mysterious, nation-less terrorist group prompts NATO to authorize the creation of a specialized, completely deniable task force of the best operators the allied nations have to offer. The candidates for this squad are currently being independently shipped to an undisclosed location for introductions and initial briefing.

Mass Effect: The Word of Icarus

"No worries bud, everyone has their first sometime" Hawke laughed at the bad joke and clapped the turian on the shoulder "Ah, trust me, by the time we're all done you'll be sick of lookin' at the place. Not as bad as everyone says if you know your way around He flashed the datapad at Arlus.

"I gotta get all this stuff for the crew anyway, so I can point ya in the right direction. In exchange, I'm gonna need a hand bringin some of this stuff back, sound like a deal? Come on"

About an hour later, the crew was back on board, Hawke was hard at work in the storage bay, checking all the crates and making sure he hadn't missed anything.
"That container there are the supplies requested by the quarian.... Sena, not Reezan. Have someone bring it up to her quarters. he told Carrick, the chief of the dock boys "Those 8 are weapons, should be 2 full of rifles, assault and semi-auto, 2 for assorted pistols and SMGs, 1 for shotguns, 1 of sniper rifles, and the last one should have our launchers. The 4 smaller crates on the end are thermal clips, explosive charges, and grenades. See that they're all unpacked and placed in the armory. Anything we haven't gone through are personal requisitions from the crewmen, they can claim them at their own convenience, list is right here" He handed over the datapad and walked off towards the elevator. As it started to ascend he heard the beep of the P.A. system going live.

"We're arriving at the planet Xerkanos. Strike Team, gather up your gear and meet at the shuttle"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The shuttle rocked and rattled as it descended through the atmosphere. The team all sat around as Tarrin examined a datapad. He tossed it down on the floor and a hologram projected up.
"Ok, initial scans show a spike in electron waves coming from this region. We're dropping in on this ridge overlooking what used to be an Alliance Exploratory Station. We'll survey it from above, then move down and breach. Clear out anyone left then explore for further leads"
They landed and set out, scanning the building below for outward threats.
"Seems clear out here, no cameras in sight except for the one right over the door" Fisher noted "Old Alliance buildings like this were designed with an unfortunate flaw. I can see it from here. There's a control board for internal systems on the right side of it, around the corner from the door. It's meant as a link-in point for exterior security checkpoints or transport stations, but this one has no such structure, but it's there, hidden beneath an off-color silver wall panel. Easy to hack"
Tarrin took charge once more "Ok Fisher, take Sena and Reezan down there, watch their back while they hack in. Arlus and Varok, you'll breach from the rear of the facility. Hang back out of sight until the hack is complete and the door opens itself. Hawke, you're with me. We're goin in the front"

Special Forces RP- Task Force Zero

Now that we have our minimum, I'll get to work on the OOC!

Special Forces RP- Task Force Zero

The newest threat of a mysterious, nationless terrorist group prompts the creation of a specialized, completely deniable task force of the best operators the allied nations have to offer.

There is a greater plot in the works, but that's a basic outline of it.
