Soviet Amerika - Red Dawn-Inspired Alternate History

"We have plastic explosives too. Different kinds of detonators. Might come in handy, were gonna make 'em into IED AP devices," Dan explained. Everyone knew what this particular cell had going on by way of business. They were willing to deal with criminals and risk double cross securing the drugs for what medical units they had and they'd also already pulled the trigger. Reliable unit. In a lot of cases, they might trade the C4 for something, but here it was being offered up freely.

Joe's inquiry about football brought on a chuckle and he added, "We oughta make some "Go Cowboys" signs in Russian. That'll drive recruitment for the guerrillas. But you two don't have to step out. We signed on for this." The two sergeants mentioned the LeBeau killing, so he didn't give them the details -- they didn't need to know and the job was done. If they did know, then they weren't mentioning it for a reason.

He didn't even want to know what the Soviets were doing to hockey.

"But if we can grab a homebrew kit, we'd be mighty appreciative." The guys wanted TV, internet and the rest, but Dan figured if they were brewing the best beer on the Mountain, they could trade for everything else.

Soviet Amerika - Red Dawn-Inspired Alternate History

I changed SFC Park's primary weapon from an HK416 to an FN SCAR-L since according to HeySeuss' timeline in this RP, Heckler & Koch are now producing firearms for the Warsaw Pact rather than NATO.

@Gunther

Yeah, pretty sure Heckler and Koch weaponry show up in the GDR arsenal. Odds are, so does the MG3. The 416 was designed with input by Larry Vickers, so I think that it's possible that another company worked up the concept. There's a bunch of them producing M4 type weapons with pistons or rotating bolts rather than direct impingement, so such a thing is possible.

Roleplay Retention -- Keeping it alive

@HeySeuss Saw the post before the edit - I wasn't trying to shut down a conversation by having people refer to a guide. I was simply placing it out there so I didn't have to repost the entire section of the guide since I am going to be ~running back and forth from the computer~ for the next several hours and wouldn't be able to sit down and type up a more full response for discussion is all.

@Lady Amalthea

Hah! Ninja'd and not fast enough (on my end.) That response was badly done due to not reading carefully enough and I apologize for it.

The current response was a little more nuanced in response to my subsequent reading and a brief, 'shit, foot in mouth.'

Roleplay Retention -- Keeping it alive

Going to simply refer to my Gming 101 guide on reasons why they die and how to help keep that from happening - Gming 101

@Lady Amalthea

I'll check it out!

Edit: However, while there's a guide, I think that's an evolving conversation and wanted input on how people are trying to tackle the issue.

Roleplay Retention -- Keeping it alive

Since we have a lot of RP's that don't last, I'd love to hear some feedback on why RP's die and possible solutions to these problems. I don't see a similar topic on here, so I thought I'd broach it, since I definitely have a track record of dead RP's behind me. I've been trying to fix the situation.

I've learned that a 'three paragraph to keep it moving' minimum rule helps to reduce the pressure to post -- in advanced, at least, there's sometimes a worry that if you don't post a certain amount, posts are looked down upon. I feel differently, since the post that never comes is more lethal than a post that at least moves the plot somewhat forward.

Soviet Amerika - Red Dawn-Inspired Alternate History

They had established positions to take in an emergency...or when a visitor was coming around and they weren't sure. That was all visitors.

That meant Dan was on the ground, with his rifle and equipment now. Jeans seemed to be the uniform of choice up here, until winter, and they had winter supplies cached, because they all knew, like the guy in the train hat wrote, winter was coming. He had one of those plaid lined field coats for upland hunting that could layer when it got really bad. But so far, they were in the early stages of autumn, in September. Things would get intense over the winter, in a number of ways. Some guys were having the time of their lives running around in camouflage and dressing up, but Dan preferred the comfort. They also had been doing a lot of work where it didn't pay to look like they were trying to fight the Soviets.

Dan glanced up, making sure that the brothers had the high ground and then around to see where the others positioned themselves. He, like the sergeants, wasn't expecting trouble in a meeting of friendlies, but he knew that careful guerrillas had longer careers than carefree ones. He didn't like the life expectancy of of either type, but he also knew that he'd signed up for this.

The brothers were perfect in their camouflage, but that was to be expected. Joe and Nari might be less than confident, but they still had some training from the people that knew what they were doing before they even got there, and everyone else provided them with pointers even as they exchanged information. A guerrilla band had to know how to do a lot of jobs and they knew that, given the rumors of the situation down South. They knew that guys like Park and Morse were it around here, along with a number of other small bands that they ran. If a lot of guerrillas didn't know what Special Forces actually did before the invasion, they were getting an intensive exposure to it now.

The 86th brigade was behind the mountains. It was easy to wonder what the hell the US Army was doing sometimes, and why the guerrillas were being held back. Some of the guerrillas were grumbling that the war was passing them by, but that wasn't Dan's stance. Things would get hot and then they'd probably be too hot. Suddenly, with their killing of one guy and the other activity, it was going to get hot. This was not a coincidence.

"Hold, identify yourselves!" Morse and Park weren't coming stealth and so it was easy to identify them, but he wanted to give the Giguere brothers a moment to check to make sure no one else was close by -- he knew that they had good eyes and could move around real careful like. It was protocol, but it was necessary. When he got a signal back from the brothers and after Morse and Park identified themselves, he called out, "Alright, come on in!"

Once in, there was the exchange of handshakes, hospitality and people moving into the cabin to pow-wow. Once there was beer and food to be had, that's when the question was popped. The room was a little more full of military gear than before, even if they tried to keep it organized for living space.

"So, what do we owe the pleasure of this meeting to? What have you fellas cooked up for us?"

Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi - The Orcish Mercenary Saga

Ho-lee shit. It's a pretty nice surprise to see this starting up again. Part of me wishes I'd been checking out the website two weeks ago, so I could throw Sparla back into the ring.

But Hank has the role covered nicely. And I wouldn't want to throw a wrench into your plans now that you've begun planning for the battle.

Also, it's three in the morning, so I'm not exactly in the best shape for thinking up a character anyways.

@Zendrelax

Welcome back, can always use more folks and we have collabs set up for the battle this time. We're trying to make it so characters can place themselves in the situation they like best and work together on the battle.

Collaboration

Now seeking: Partner in Crime/Collaborator.

---

Bear in mind that what I have written below is mutable and essentially that I am willing to adapt. If you have an interest and you pitch it, I will consider it. I'm open-minded.


_{Why a pic of Keef and Mick? Because some of the best music out there came from active collaboration. Which is sort of the point for what follows.}

My Proposition

---

Longtime user looking for some chat, a little collaboration and some fun writing with new faces.

Let's face it, I've been here a long time, I know a bunch of people here but a lot of them seem to be not RPing, which means that I have to run into some new people.

I'm mostly marketing this to the odd random and interesting person that might be checking these interest checks the way I sometimes do without posting an actual check. Some of you are old hands, some of you are brand new. Creative? Come on over. Looking to collaborate and take an active hand in creating content? Slllliiiiide right on over. Ideal partner wants to brainstorm a lot.

Hi, you, drop a line! If interested, please PM or hit me at HeySeuss #6650 on Discord so I get a notification. Otherwise, I'll check the page, see if I have notifications and perhaps not get back to you as quickly as if you pop a flare.

Schedule

---

After years of slogging it out in kitchens and doing things not really related to having a college (university to the non-Americans) degree, I finally have one of those cushy desk jobs. I have weekends free. Weekdays can get busy.

Right now, I'm keeping up with 1x1's and a couple group RP's just fine. I believe, every couple days, in posting a few paragraphs here and there to keep the RP going. If I build up a head of steam, I can write a whole lot more, but I hold to a three paragraph rule to keep advancing the plot and it does wonders -- no pressure to write thousands of words.

Interests

---

Honestly, I'm versatile. For amusement, I often like to cross genres and find ways to blend elements of a given genre into something else. I think a plot is more important than a genre in a lot of ways to me. I enjoy the thrill of collaboration and combining perspectives. For example, I've done plots that cross William Gibson themes of cyber-augmentation with the ole Dracula bit, and that's the tip of the iceberg.

I'm not very good at fandoms for the most part, though I draw liberally from inspirations and try to make something out of that. Sometimes I'll venture into something off the beaten path (including high school) though I like RP's that try out different perspectives and unusual twists. I'm into self-improvement as a writer, so I like to constantly shift my gears. I love a good conversation about where we are channeling our muse from on a given piece of writing, because I think inspirations are important, but they can also come from all sorts of places.

I also have a guilty pleasure and that's high school-themed RP's. Haven't done one in forever.

Immensely Long List of Rules

_{(OBEY OBEY OBEY)}

The Quite Long List of Hard and Fast Rules

I adhere to the site rules that are posted and we can negotiate and converse about the rest. I'm sure you're breathing easy, because I can't count the number of times I say, "okay, looks good" and then WHAM -- a huge long list of rules.

Oh, and when PM'ing, please post a writing sample, list of references, your favorite doughnut flavor and what you put in your coffee so that I know you have read everything, entirely, thoroughly, completely, so on and so forth. You will be judged harshly upon this basis. No, seriously, don't do that.

But if you want to talk about your ideas, please do drop a line.

Plot ideas, not to be taken as the only things I will do(I can't get on board with the term 'pairings')

---

_{(This is a list of some of what I've done. It's not exhaustive but it actually exists, unlike the "Immensely Long List of Rules")}

Actual list this time

These are samples of some RP ideas I have had, and sometimes they link to actual RP's. I am also linking to active RP's.

Current RP's:
- [Fantasy] The saga of the much reviled and often-underrated Orcish mercenary company Nar Mat Kordh-Ishi as they struggle with the enemies they're hired to fight as well as the scumbags that hire them and try to stiff them afterward. It ain't easy being green. (Source)
- [Modern Alternate History] In 2013 (or thereabouts, maybe later?) the Soviet Union invades the United States. The US military is set back on its heels, but the Soviets face a new problem -- the American guerrilla resistance. Based heavily on the first Red Dawn rather than that remake. (source)

Past ideas:
- [Sci-Fi, Parody] It's Douglas Adams + the Rolling Stones 1972 tour. Aliens fake a rock band's death in order to put them on tour in space. They get probed, but it's probably consensual. They experiment with space drugs. There's a crowd of aliens waving lighters in their tentacles and throwing panties with way too many holes up on stage. The humans are forced to adapt. (Source)
- [1960's Bikers, Werewolves]This is the saga of the Wild Hunt, the Werewolf biker gang, and its fight against the cabals and conspiracies of the world arrayed against them. (Source)
- [Modern Fantasy] Magic returns to the world after a long slumber, and an unprepared world freaks out. Two magic users have to make their way through an altered social landscape while keeping their secrets. (Source)
- [Science Fiction] Military contractors wake up to find themselves far from Uzbekistan, where they thought they were going, and fighting as mercenaries for aliens that think Humanity's propensity for violence and creativity will make them a force to be reckoned with on insterstellar battlefields.(Source)
- [Modern/Horror] A tropical island turns into a hellish landscape of war between natives and a rapacious corporation with the characters caught in the middle. And then they discover the horror manipulating it all to its own foul ends. (Source)
- [Historical] 1943/44: Two teenagers are part of the Resistance against the German occupation of France in World War II. _{This sort of thing actually happened; kids as young as 14-15 were actually fighting the Germans in 1944, and prior to that even younger kids were assisting the Resistance. So yes, this is realistic.}(Source)
- [Post-Apocalyptic/Sci-Fi] The world was destroyed in the fire of nuclear weaponry, and the survivors live in a world lit only by fire. However, that changes when invaders from space arrive, supporting some kingdoms against others. (Source)
- [Vampire Horror/Cyberpunk] With their power uncontested for thousands of years, vampires rule humanity from the shadows, using them as pawns and cattle in their sadistic game. Many organizations have tried, and failed, to fight the vampires effectively, until one organization, after centuries of planning, information gathering and investment in research and development, makes breakthroughs in cybernetics that allow a human to have a fair chance of fighting individual vampires. The organization's first operation with this technology is the revenge killing against a specific vampire... If you can't stand Twilight, you'll enjoy this. (Source)
- [Fantasy] Two adventurers promoted to the governing council of their city-state must now investigate the assassination of their predecessors while unravelling mysteries of their past that have come back to haunt them. (Source)
- [Modern/Slice of Life]Two childhood friends that shared the sandbox together grew apart in high school and further in adult life; one is getting serious about settling down with someone her parents approve of but that she has doubts about, the other is a dedicated musician that is about to make it beyond his wildest dreams. They're both about to get what they wish for and find it wanting. (Source)
- [Historical] A Jewish man hunts one of the SS officers responsible for the death of his family during the Holocaust and follows the trail into the French Foreign Legion, fighting a guerrilla war in Indochina (Vietnam). When wounded, he meets the German man's wife, a nurse that has no idea about her husband's past. (Source)
- [Sci-Fi] A colony of humanity's is lost but eventually finds itself at its destination centuries late. The colonists, accomplished scientists and researchers at the top of their field, establish a high tech colony that is capable of self sufficiency and far more, thanks to the experimental artificial intelligence and support systems it brings along. It is not aware how much time has passed or how much has changed since they departed Earth.
- [Post-Apocalyptic/Fantasy] The world is not destroyed in a nuclear fire, but by a magical one as dragons and other beasts of myth return, sweeping the world and leaving devastation in its wake. In the former US State of Minnesota, facing an invasion of goblinkind, two enemies, products of two different communities, unite to try and face down the oncoming horde, putting their antipathies behind in order to survive.
- [Sci Fi or Fantasy] A maimed, disgraced warrior (either long dead or imprisoned/executed) is brought back by the heir of a monarchy from either another plane (fantasy) or galaxy (sci-fi) to provide the natural talent only he has while earning his redemption and rehabilitation in the process.
- [Modern Fantasy] The city of Camden faces the rise of the dread Lord Nemsemet, an ancient sorcerer who rallies much of the supernatural community to his standard to overpower the hereditary nobility of the courts and establish his own rule of terror in the city. Meanwhile, the supernatural beings of Camden against Nemsemet are unable to call for help or leave, due to some fell enchantment... (Source)
- [Star Wars] During the Mandalorian Wars, the Jedi knight Revan sets out with followers to fight for the Republic's survival against the warriors of Mandalore's neo-crusader movement. This is their tale, with a tragic ending... (Source)

These plots are distilled from larger plots for RP's that I have done (or have never done but would like to do.) I have a wide range of interests and if you want me to try a different plot, I will certainly consider the plot. If it strikes a chord of creativity for me, I'll be happy to work with you on it. So pitch it, because I am adaptable.

Soviet Amerika - Red Dawn-Inspired Alternate History

"We oughta take all the ones we're gonna use apart, Preston, and help yourself" Dan replied with a grin and a shrug. He was a believer in checking weapons and the entire group knew it, but he also knew that Preston knew his way around guns and would figure out what he liked "and then we gotta sight in any of the ones we're gonna put scopes on. Good thing your buddy threw in the laser."

Dan was stripped down to his short sleeves and a pair of jeans in the cabin, and while there were only ten cans left, he wanted at least one while he did the work. He had the oil, the cloth and the other tools handy, including the screws, tape and so forth to work with the weapons. Dan had tattoos up and down his arms, starting at wrist and going all the way up, notably a vivid one of an angel with a sword on the right arm. He'd never explained how the son of a Vermont senator got all that ink, and he didn't say much about the past. But he knew the weapons, the explosives, the heavier stuff. Until now, Dan had been one of the less utilized guys, backing up Joe or Gigger in their dealings, learning and watching as those guys took the lead and worked their relatiionships. Now, it was shifting...

The M4A1. This one still was brand new, finish intact and came out of a case that a guy out in the Northeast Highlands, a friend of the Gigueres knew. A national guard type that needed some morphine for whatever reason -- no one asked questions. The gun nut buddy was fine with letting them zero on the range and Dan insisted on doing it. Unzeroed weapons were far less effective. He selected a couple more for Nari and Joe. The Special Forces guys provided familiarization with the weaponry and other items, along with interesting courses on the handlng of explosives.

Other horse trades got them some optics and other accessories, magazines and load bearing equipment. He'd also grabbed some ski masks, because those were going to be necessary.

"There's a pump action in there, Joe." Dan lit his own cigarette, even as he went to work on adding accessories. Mostly, he was concerned with the scope, paracord and a sling, and other things. The way the rifles were today, there was no sense not putting one of these new sights on gun...

A couple hours later, the decision to start breaking out the weaponry ahead of any concrete orders was vindicated. Their burner rang just as Dan was making sure things were being put away in places where they could get to the equipment as necessary, stored after being broken out from the sort of deep storage they had all the gear in before.

It was Morse and Park, green berets, the guys running the Green Mountain Boys. Training, command, control, intelligence, orders. They were calling to make sure they wouldn't get shot at as they came in, and if they were coming in person, it meant they wanted to talk about something important.

Though they'd probably want some of the beer too. The Giguere boys were starting to get antsy about their supply, they might have to devote resources to homebrewing for morale and trading.

Tyus Morse

Hider

Name: Tyus Morse

Age/Gender: 35 or 36/Male (DOB: 15 AUG 80)
Nationality: American
Rank: Master Sergeant
Preferred Role: Light Weapons Operator "Gun Guy"

Background

Brief Background: Tyus Morse is of African descent growing up in Central Falls, RI; one of the Ocean State's high crime/economically deprived neighborhoods. Tyus' father was heavily into Martial arts, enrolling his son at an early age. Tyus received a Junior Black Belt at age 11 after four years of training and then his first degree black belt in Kempo Karate at age 14. As a teen, Tyus was able to move into the Teen Krav Maga program where he trained on the Israeli Self-Defense form, borrowing techniques from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-jitsu and Taekwondo. By age 17, Tyus had his second degree black belt with training in both Kempo Karate and Krav Maga. Since, his father was seriously interested in Martial arts as well, the father and son worked out frequently together, helping to hone Tyus' skills.

Tyus was not an exceptional student in school receiving average grades, but also learning how to speak German in the process. He spent most of his High School years playing soccer in the fall and running with the track team in the spring. He excelled in athletic pursuits.

After High School, Tyus enlisted in the United States Army attending Basic Combat & Infantry Training at Ft. Benning, GA. Upon completion of the 14-week Infantry Course, he proceeded to Airborne and Ranger Schools, both at Ft. Benning. In 1999, after successfully completing training requirements as an Airborne Ranger, Private (E2) Morse was assigned to the 2nd Ranger Battalion at Joint Base Lewis-McChord about five miles south of Tacoma, WA.

By October, 2001, Private First Class (E3) Tyus Morse was reassigned to A Company, First Battalion, 27th Infantry (1-27 IN), 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks, HI. On 1 January 2002, Tyus Morse was promoted to Sergeant (E5) and assigned as an Infantry Team Leader with C Co., 1-27 IN. By August, he re-enlisted for another four years and submitted a request for Special Forces Training.

In January 2003, Sergeant Morse arrived at the John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center (JFK-SWC) in order to enter the selection process for the Special Forces Qualification Course. The course lasted one year and three months for Sergeant Morse. At its conclusion, he received the 18B Special Operations Weapons Sergeant MOS. He also received classroom instruction in the Arabic language.

In April 2004, Sergeant Morse was assigned to Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) 5235, C Co., 2nd Battalion 5th Special Forces Group (2-5 SFG), Ft. Campbell, KY. While with 5th Group, Sergeant Morse deployed to the Middle East at least a dozen times between 2004 and 2008. During this time, he was promoted to Staff Sergeant (SSG) and engaged the enemy no fewer than forty-three separate engagements. During this time, he received several minor injuries and was hospitalized for a brief stint in 2006 for a gunshot wound (GSW) to the right thigh. Also as a member of the Special Forces community, Tyus was able to continue training in Krav Maga. This is the martial art/self defense form used by all US Special Operations units.

In 2008, after ten years in the US Army, Staff Sergeant Morse requested training and assignment to the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta. He was recruited and indoctrinated into the dark underworld of a unit that is informally referred to as Delta Force. As a Delta operator, SSG Morse was deployed to many locations around the world. He received training in speaking Russian, Farsi and Polish while serving with Delta. He has engaged the enemy in numerous hostile actions and received additional wounds forcing him to receive hospital care.

In 2014, Tyus Morse retired from the Army as a Sergeant First Class (E7) with sixteen years time in service in order to pursue a career as a Private Military Contractor. He applied for and was accepted to Task Force ZERO.

@Gunther

It's up to you, but I can't see such a character being embedded with such a small cell. Providing support, however? Absolutely.
