Yay! so we are just waiting for Ulster right?

Tin Soldiers: Long Mercy

@Rae Zer
So like a exostructures embedded in the alveoli of the lungs to convert CO2 to O2? I don't see why not, if they are crafting babies to be war gods I don't think they are going to pull any punches.

@Athinar
We don't reserve spots here but I assure you I will give ample notice for when the application process is ending.

I'm going to go into GRAM suit once they get them but yes while their inner working are mostly the same they come in different variants for different field operations like exposed vacuum operations. Though these specialized variants are rare and used on a need to use bases as the standard variant can handle almost all field operations by itself as that was its intended purpose.

Tin Soldiers: Long Mercy

Genetic modification reminds me of GMO's, which as you know can possess traits from other species such as the secretion of natural pesticide and antifreeze from insects.

Could this perhaps be incorporated with the genetic modification of these soldiers?

@Sublimation

That is an interesting idea and I will think about it but I'm going to go into genetic modification more specifically later since genetically they all receive the same modifications since it happens when they are embryos . I have a list somewhere of all the ones that they received I just need to find it later. The tertiary augmentations biological that come before the power armor come later and are basically super steroids used to harden the bone structure and prepare it to hold the weight of the GRAM. Their cyberaugs vary from soldier to soldier but genetically they recive the same augmentations because human augmentation procedures at this level of basically shaping the DNA as they see fit as a dangerous game that has terrible side effects if the body can't handle it. As shown through a large portion of the embryos not even making it through the modification.

Tin Soldiers: Long Mercy

are there any limitations on cybernetic augs? for example... what about a robotic eye? :OOO

@baskets

Augmentations are only limited to their usefulness in their role if it makes sense for what they do sure. Mind you they already are genetically engineered to have eye sight better than any other human in the galaxy beyond 20/20 perfect. But if you wanted to be able to have like switch to thermal vision or some kind of target suite built into your eye which sounds kind of cool now that I think of it sure.

Tin Soldiers: Long Mercy

Hm, curious.
Can a character be made who's more of the comtech? Basically anything related to EW, along with driving whatever the team needs to be used?
Granted, she's probably not the best at any sort of combat outside a vehicle :P

@Kimiyosis

I don't see why not, actually sounds like a good idea. Granted she would be able to defend herself and do anything the other can having gone through all the training and genetic augmentations the others have but after basic they all go into more specialized training to developed their specialized roles. So yeah as long as the character is a good character I don't care what they could be. They could be the team water boy if they really wanted to.

Tin Soldiers: Long Mercy

@Ryu@Blubaron45
Yes there is a lot more people than I anticipated. As a result we are setting a solid count at Eight players counting myself. Eight players make a solid squad for deep interaction among them which I find works fairly well with this and can be split into two four man squads which is even better. Some people don't like when a GM sets a cap like this but I feel competition only helps bring out the best in people. This is not a first come and first serve bases. You can not reserve a spot you must earn your spot. You must show me through a Character Sheet and a PM'd writing sample in the style of your character. This may scare some people but I feel it is the best way to make sure I only get the best of the best. Because our writing effects the TS universe and I want good writers to effect thus universe because it is something I'm heavily invested in as you may have seen.

@FiroIV
One post every two to three days would be ideal but as long as you get a post up once a week I can't complain. :)

Anyway the OCC IS UP!

Also since this is going to be bigger than the four man squad I intend essentially doubling it, I ask if any of you want to serve as my CO-HM please inform me through PM why you feel you would do a good job.

Character Sheets

Appearance:
What they look like as grown soldiers at the age of eighteen not as children. Mind you due to their genetic engineering a Daedalus child at the age of thirteen will have a comparative physique and size of an Olympic athlete so they don't look young. By the age of eighteen they are towering giants almost seven feet tall and can kill a man with ease. a written description can go under it if you want.
Name:
(All the children were given normal first and last names to give a sense of normalcy)
Call sign:
ID TAG:
(A Six digit number unique to each and every member of Daedalus)
Gender:

Psychological Record:(What makes them tick?)
The First Ten Years:
(The RP starts with the children about at the age of ten when their training really kicks into high gear. So I'm going to need you to tell me about their first ten years of training on Haoma. What classes did they like, what did they excel at, what were they bad at. Anything life altering happen like witnessing a fellow child die or something? You can keep this brief or make it long it is really up to you. I just need to have a good feeling of your characters.)
Cybernetic Augmentations:
(All of the soldiers are genetically augmented to be better, faster and stronger as Daft Punk might say but some are also cybernetically augmented with robot parts to help in their designated roles

Combat Role:
(What do they specialize in?)
Loadout:
(What weapons and equipemnt do they usually carry with them to complete their job. All soldiers are equipped with two smoke and two fragmentation grenades, a combat knife and a medical gel injector.)

The Year is 3711. The advances of human society has plung us into the settlement of the stars. The Consolidated Earth Union have lead humanity into an era of unprecedented technological development. FTL travel was only the tip of the iceberg backed by intelligent AI, human augmentation able to allow the crippled to become supermen and the blind to see further than any normal man. They all backed a massive new age of exploration by the first colony ships sent out all those years ago in the late 21st century. These first ships acted as the seed the germinated into the great plant that stretched its roots all across the galaxy hungrily eating up planets and planting their mark upon them. Starships the sizes of moons, floating colonies and lush verdant utopias created on cold dead moons without any chances of life. This brand new galaxy was not as dead as some may have thought and was filled with life on planets such as ours and others vastly alien new fauna and flora opening up entire new studies and redefining the classical sciences with their foundings and the ruins found on some of these planets suggest that their was those that came before and yet there was no signs of intelligent life as if all of humanity was alone in its own little sandbox called the Milky Way Galaxy. We were the Apex predator, we were the top dogs it seemed the ones left to make our mark as we saw fit.

Yet left to our own devices it seemed that conflict was inevitable. The CEU was founded in war, war between the Saturnian colonies and Earth known simply as the Sol War. It was this time when the rebels with their experimental technologies attacked Earth and forced its peoples and nations to unify to protect themselves and to restore order in their system. That was in the year 2123 in the one thousand five hundred and eighty eight years that followed not much had really changed except on the scope of scale. They were not just talking about angry rebels on the moons of Saturn in one contained system, they were talking about entire span of the outer colonies thousands of light years wide and filled with enough people to fill up the entire Sol System hundreds of times later. Citizens angry with the CEU which seemed only concerned with the affairs of government security meaning only those within the inner colonies. These angry citizens began to make appeals, when the appeals did not work they began to protest, when the CEU dismissed these protests they began to riot, and when the CEU cracked down to give a sense of peace a security to those trying to live their lives in the outer colonies it became war.

The first known insurgent action against the CEU was in the year 3626 on the small aquatict farming colony of Miodon IV, a gentleman by the name of Charles Liztkvek opened fire with a military grade assault rifle upon the CEU rally post in the area designed to regulate the smooth process of Communications Nodes that allow for quick interstellar communications between the citizens with the CEU. Charles Liztkvek killed two civilians, one security personnel and four CEU communications officers before he was killed by security officers. When his apartment was later raided they found many pamphlets of insurrectionist propaganda for the group known as Humanity's Axe. Humanity's Axe was not the only group of such to form in these times and in the thirty five years following the attack these attacks became more and more frequent. These attacks only served to worsen CEU relations with the outer colonies as the CEU pushed them into what would effectively become an entire military justractied sector as the entire area was put under military control by order of the Department of Colonial Affairs and Relations. Communication Node traffic was restricted as citizens could only view pre approved government sites, calls were monitored and increased raids by CEU Military Police marked the period as the end of any normal relations with the outer colonies. Neither side had the strict moral advantage and so they could not win the battle by public opion but instead it became a long war of attrition as insurrectionist forces attacked primarily from the shadows as Military Police stormed hideouts and took entire cells with brutal efficiency. Though some would later wish for a return to this period of almost peace compared to what would come in the following years.

It all came to a head in the year 3661. In early January following the Earth Standard Calendar things began to heat up rapidly after several months of limited insurrectionist activity in the outer rim. What was originally thought as a simple dwindling of resolve was actually the backdrop for a series of very important delegations and meetings between the various insurrectionist cells in the outer colonies and among other influential Anti-CEU players. Following a massive leak of military information on the exact suppressive techniques used by the CEU to battle the insurrectionists and that they were secretly using upon their own people a significant portion of the outer and middle colonies declared a state of rebellion from the CEU and the formation of what they called the Allied Galactic States or AGS for short. The AGS was a new parliamentary republic formed in defiance to the old galactic senate and CEU policy makers. Immediate action was taken place as soon after as AGS spies destroyed the Earth Union's Main Military Base on Mars with a controlled nuclear detonation. This was no longer an insurgency, it was a full blown civil war.

It has been almost fifty years since Declaration Day as it has been called by the media. The Consolidated Earth Union is fighting a battle to retain supremacy and keep order and structure to the Galaxy and prevent it from falling to ruin. They are losing. The Allied Galactic States are fighting for freedom, the right to choose and not be looked down by the CEU and its biased policies. They are not winning. In the decades followed Declaration Day pushes have been made by both sides but they are stuck in a constant ebb and flow as they fight to gain one more system only to lose it within the month. Hundreds of thousands of lives have been lost on both sides and more come each day. At the same time scientist on far flung observation posts have detected something in Deep Space, the points are beginning to flash as something, something very big is occurring, something that will change the course of humanity as we know it. This is where our story begins, in the middle of a seemingly endless war as humanity slides from the pinnacle of greatness into depravity once more. This is our story. The story of those fighting in these desperate times

WARNING CLASS V SECURITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED

_{__> Warning Accessing Restricted Files.....
__> Daedalus Initiative.}

The Daedalus Initiative is refereed by those with enough security clearance to actually be able to view the files as the CEU's ace in the hole. The original plans for Daedalus began in 3635 when the idea was originally purposed to make the next line of soldiers able to effectively exterminate the insurrectionists cells with a brutal level of efficiency. Yet the proposed methods of creating such soldiers seemed too barbaric, and too inhumane at the time. But the war changed all of that, Daedalus went from the crazed gene therapy project of Special Opreations Command and became one of many new projects ushered into existence to fight against the AGS. In early 3700 at a project meeting with the extended research having finally been put to the test Daedalus with greenlight to go live.

Daedalus was an experimental program of the first of its kind. Gene therapy has been performed before but usually it was to prevent any major birth defects that could hamper that child's way of life. Nobody had ever tried it on the scale that Special Operations Command was suggesting. They were speaking of creating human life to design to make the perfect war machine. Sperm and Egg donors went through rigorous testing and examination picking from the best of the crops, high class athletes, award winning scientists, soldiers of the fineist make, and all of the like. The creation of a good base for them to build upon was of vital importance. From there they began to tweak the embryo in its still young forming state and begin to alter the DNA, make the bones stronger, the eyes better, make unset puberty happen quicker, allow for greater muscle mass without hampering the body. They were playing God and creating something that while resembling a human was much, much different.

They would age and grow like any normal human but there lives would be much different. They would spent most of their formative years upon Haoma located within the Epsilon Eridani system about as close as you can get to Earth without being in Sol. Haoma was one of the CEU's opreating bases within the inner colonies serving as a buffer between Earth and the rest of the galaxy. Home to several military bases and research institutes separated by huge swaths of untamed wilderness it was the perfect place to rise a batch of super soldiers without anyone rising an eye. Here they would learn military history, science and mathematics cramming an upper level education into their small minds created for just such an occasion. But beside that starting at the age of four they would begin training military training so that by the time they were of age they had spent most of their lives training to be warriors.

The first batch would be known as Alpha Company. Alpha Company at its start was made up of six Hundred fertilized eggs, only four hundred made it through the gene therapy and another one hundred and fifty were expected to fail out of the program before it was done. That was what all of it was for really a giant strainer taking out the impurities and the weak and leaving only those who strive for excellence. Some would say throwing children into live fire exercise and running them through obstacle crosses meant for special forces was cruel. SOC didn't think so, the children were military property, they were weapons and weapons had to be fine tuned and sharpened to be effective. After physical training was complete they would go through another round of augmentation therapy before being fitted for their GRAM MARK I Assault Armor the final piece that would complete their image, with weight that would crush a normal man's skeleton and designed specifically to their established traits, the armor itself cost the pay of twenty officers for fifty years. If they were the peak of biological augmentation the GRAM MARK I was the peak of mechanical augmentation fitted with the best technology money could buy.

This is the story of these children following them as they become soldiers and beyond. But first, first they had to make it through training.

Weapons

This is a list that will continue to grow as we progress but here are just some the weapons you may see in the TS universe. You are not limited to these weapons and of course you can make your own if you want.

ARR-221

The ARR Adaptive Range Rifle is the workhorse of the CEU'S Special forces. It's effectiveness is only limited to what attachments you carry for it. It utilizes a Tamago-class mass driver located within the system to propel the 5.56 mm round at high speeds to cause large amounts of death to its targets. A forty round magazine is usually depleted in 10 four round bursts as per the standard firing method of the rifle though it also has single and automatic firing modes. To underestimate the ARR is to underestimate the best.

Hawke MK III

A relialbe all purpose sidearm the Hawke is a soldier's best friend when the going gets tough and tough gets going. The design can either fire single shot or fully automatic depending on scenario and user preference. Most of the Daedalus are trained in use of both at the same time and so during active missions they have two just to be prepared. Can come with a variety of attachments from a range finder, to laser sight and combat flashlight.

Sovereign MK 77 Anti-Armor Heavy Railgun

When things really need to boom nothing is better than the Sovereign, capable of piercing heavy armor with ease and piercing through entire buildings no material is too tough for the Sovereign. Large almost 1.2 meters in length the thing is burly and takes up a lot of room and so is usually only carried by heavy weapons specialists.

BS-MKV

"Speak softly, and carry a big stick" ~ Theodore Roosevelt: Tactician, Military Commander and political leader of the 19th century.
The BS-Mk V: The Mk V as it is commonly known as the heavy assault teams best friends defined as a shotgun and more aline with that of a small cannon, the sheer sound of the beast going off has a scientifically proven demoralizing effect on enemy troops not to mention physical effects of nausea, loss of blood, lose of bodily limbs and death. Semiautomatic the MK V is used in breaches and to clear rooms quickly.

TED

The Tactical Engagement Device is an long range combat device for use when distance is required. Acting more like a small scale rail gun. TED can pierce through most heavy armor with ease and easily sever bones and muscle in half practically making flesh targets explode upon impact. Firing high explosive AP rounds the TED has an effective range of 3,000 meters and a maximum range of 4,500 meters. Recoil dispersion devices are placed into the devices but those untrained with the rifle can still easily dislocate a shoulder from the heavy recoil.

HEOD MK VI

The HEOD is your standard run of the mill rocket launcher, it makes things explode when you want things to explode in a spectacularly explosive manner use the HEOD

Vehicles

Once again this list in incomplete but here are so of the nifty machines that we may encounter.

M8 Jaguar Light Insertion Vehicle

Jaguar is its name and rapid response is its game, designed to get troops and get them out in a expedient fashion without them getting killed. Has a nifty turret mounted on the top to deal with any foes that may want to come and murder them. Roof is optional

D42-TC Tortoise

The Tortoise is the premier drop ship of the galaxy designed to get thrown into hot drops with little to no fire support the things can take a beating hence the Tortoise. They are equipped for high orbital drops with sealed airtight interiors and reentry plating designed to disperse heat. When you gotta fly not much is better than the Tortoise for getting your guys to the point.

T22-HA Kodiak

The Kodiak is the all purpose heavy assualt vechile of the CEU tough and reliable and in service for more than a decade the thing is basically an AK-47 of tanks no matter how you beat it up it can always keep on shooting.

QI-45 Assault VTOL

All purpose assault and reconnaissance aircraft capable of running a variety of roles depending on the situation.

GRAM MARK I Assault Armor

Information Redacted will be added later.

Any question about technology will be answered here and I will update it accordingly.

Tin Soldiers: Long Mercy

@moxalt
Alright that is totally fair. Thanks for the interest!

@Kimiyosis


@baskets
That makes me excited as hell.

@FancyTomato
Well then I believe you have come to the right place for this idea did come to me in the middle of reading City Come A Walkin' while playing Starcraft years ago so we have imperfect futures and all your cyberpunks needs. Also


@FiroIV
Ah well that is a good question and one I was planning on answering anyway. Well the intended structure of this roleplay is broken up into three acts as you may want to call them.

Act The First: Genesis
This is the beginning of the roleplay taking place as our characters are still within a heavily fortified and secret CEU training facility, this time will focus heavily on several time skips as they grow from small children, to teenagers, to super soldiers and focus primarily on character interaction and to ease everybody into the setting. Because of the nature of this time not a lot of free ability to roam about and will be much more linear in its story telling procedure. This will be the shortest of the Acts probably only lasting a couple of story posts on my part and depending on people's posting frequency could be finished in anywhere from a couple of days to a week or two.

Act The Second: Judges
This is much more meaty and more action pact than the previous act before it. Now full fledged super soldiers it going involve them going on a lots of suicide missions against the AGS destroying high value targets and the like. This part will be a lot more open ended as I will at the start of each mission present you with an objective and give you generally overview as per CEU intelligence reports and I will try and usher you guys along to complete the objective but how you go about that is completely up to you guys. Lots more player freedom now that the story has been firmly set up in the first act. This act will be longer than the first and these scenes of action will be intermixed with down time for more player interaction amongst one another as I feel needed. Eventually if we make it that far we will get to the third act.

Act The Third: Revelations
Revelations is where things get really interesting as the mysterious things in deep space start to act and cause quite a ruckus in the galaxy. But I'm afraid that is all I can really tell you about it without ruining too much.

And that would compose the first what I would call "season" of the RP, I have other stories that would follow close behind in the TS universe for the squad or new characters to partake in but that is for another time as getting the RP off the ground first would be good right? lol Hope that kind of answered your question.

Anyway we have enough people to get this shindig on the road. I have work soon and so I will probably not be able to get the OCC up until later but it should be today at some point so tune in to here for more updates. Though I do check up on the site when ever I have a lull at work which does happen a lot as it is a lot of twiddling my thumbs so if any of you have any questions feel free to send them to me via PM or post them here and I will try and answer them. I hope we all have a wonderful little time together.

Hello everybody! If you have made it this far then that means something right? Let me be the first to formally invite you into the world of Tin Soldiers. Tin Soldiers is the tentative name of this little science fiction world I have created. The world of Tin Soldiers is one shaped by the stories that I happen to write about it and have drastic effects on the concurrent history and movement of the galaxy. Back on the Old Guild, I created the first Tin Soldiers Roleplay in which we took part in the shaping events of the war that will be the focal point of this roleplay. Our characters were journalists, scientists, activists and soldiers whose actions helped push the world towards the current state it is in. I feel that is now high time for the New Guild to have its own taste of the world of Tin Soldiers.

In short this story will be about the members of the Consolidated Earth Union's Daedalus Initiative. The Daedalus Initiative is the CEU's Super Soldier program designed to create the best soldiers the galaxy have ever seen from the genetic level up. These "super humans" that we will be playing are tank bred born and raised inside a lab with their DNA meticulously altered and perfected to make them the best soldiers ever seen by this side of humanity. They are shunned by every day society as freaks not even human but without them the CEU would never be able to get anything done. They are inserted deep within enemy territory taking out valuable enemy outposts, performing assassinations and whatever else CEU High Command needs done. But this is just not a story about the war this is an extensive character study of this team tracing their lives. We will begin at the start when they are still children barely thirteen years old still going through active conditioning and training, leading up to their first deployment and beyond. This will give what I intended to allow for us to craft this characters and watch them evolve over time as their relations with one another shape their own views and perspectives. At the same time hints of the greatest story will fall through as reports of activity in Deep Space continue to increase even as they fight AGS forces trying to turn the tide of the war.

This is intended to be more than just a science fiction war story it will deal with heavy themes and actions. I'm looking for people that would be interested in such a roleplay with high casual standards, to tell the story of this squad and to continue shaping this world. So anybody want in?
