@Pirouette I really don't want to do spot reservations, but it is NOT first come first serve. I'm basing it off whoever gives me the best CS. If your CS is as good as your writing is (based on the one RP I've been in with you), you should have no issue getting the spot. I RETRACT MY STATEMENT. I'll go ahead and reserve the spot. I trust in your abilites.

The Dark Side of War (CLOSED)

@DJAtomikaTerribly sorry, but there is no calling dibs on anything. I've uploaded the OOC so throw your character sheet on up over there. @pirouette plans on making a medic as well. I'll accept what I believe to be the better CS.

Here's the OOC

@agentmanateego ahead an post it here, unless you want to PM it.

The Dark Side of War (Closed)

@agentmanateeGo ahead and apply here. We've only got one spot technically filled, but we've got a few CS's on the way. (Note that we have one person who wants to make a medic. I'm not reserving the spot but please do keep that in mind.)

Children of Light and Darkness at War: Can Love Bloom on a Battle Field? (Still unsure of the title) (no longer active)

@Nevix I'm not the boss (That title goes to the lovely @Ace of flames01) but I'm 99.9% sure she's still accepting! ^.^

And Ace, it would be an interesting relationship, wouldn't it? She could lock him in the cellar on full moons so he won't kill anyone else. <3

I'm open to it, but I also really like the idea of Naya x Ra'Mane, not gonna lie. It would be so cute, they just hang out all the time and one day Naya realizes she's in love with him, but she can't ever touch him and she'll never see his face (plus, I'm not sure he's capable of loving someone at this point). All the sad, unrequited love feels.

@Narcotic Dollie

I'm terribly sorry, but I'm afraid that I'm too busy to commit to this. Hope you guys have a great time though.

Ladies and gentlemen, will you please welcome THE OOC!!!

The Dark Side of War (Closed)

“There are perhaps many causes worth dying for, but to me, certainly, there are none worth killing for.” - Albert Dietrich

Theme:

---

The year is 2027 and the world is in Turmoil. The nation of Interum is the Hegemon of the world. Their power has made them a target for the other nations of the world. Constantly at war, fighting and battle are are part of life for most Interians. Many children aspire to become soldiers, and the military is glorified through pro-war media.

To the north of Interum lies its only ally, a small nation called Tellosia. The truce is shaky at best, so Interum has a series of smaller border guard outposts (BGO’s) on its Tellosian border. One such BGO is NO-36. A small, four-room concrete construct built in an isolated mountain pass. The six soldiers stationed there are either unskilled rookies or veterans sent there for punishment.

For two years, the most pressing issue facing these six soldiers was boredom. That was, until Tellosia declared war. Taking advantage of the weak border, Tellosia invaded. Fortunately for our six, no forces trudged through their mountain path. Interum high-command realises the relative uselessness of NO-36 and elects to disband it. As our six prepare to be scattered throughout the other BGO’s, they get a call from HQ. There is a large invasion force heading their way. Reinforcements from the Capital are heading their way via dropship. Just as the invasion force closes in, the dropship crashes. This leaves only one survivor, who has already regrouped with the six. Together, they will endure the horrors of war.

The Seven.

weaponry

Firearms are still the most common form of weaponry. They remain mostly unchanged, with the exception of becoming generally more powerful. There are many, many kinds of firearms with the Interian military being lenient when it comes to custom weapons and modification. The following is the standard issue loadout for infantry.

Standard Issue

• M3 Abrams Carbine (has three round burst, automatic, and semi-auto firing modes)
  
  M3 Abrams

  Mid range rifle, useful in many combat scenarios.
• Archimedes PDP Mark II (semi-auto)
  
  PDP Mark II

  The PDP (Personal Defense Pistol) is a simple sidearm used by Police and Millitary alike. It has high accuracy, an integrated silencer, and decent stopping power. Its light weight and low recoil have led some soldiers to forego their rifles and dual-wield PDP’s instead
• Archimedes “Serpent” Combat Knife Mark III
  
  Serpent Mark III

  The Serpent is the perfection of the vibro-blade technology. The edge of the blade vibrates at incredible speed, allowing it to cut through harder materials. This can be done for up to five minutes at a time, and it must be given two minutes to recharge for every minute active. Even when not in vibro-mode, the Serpent is still a solid, dependable knife.
• Albrecht Ubergrenades
  
  Ubergrenades

  The Albrecht Ubergrenade design has remained unchanged for decades. The reason being that the design is near-perfect. A dial on the top of the grenade switches between an incendiary mode, a fragmentation mode, and a concussion mode. Some models have a smoke function in the place of the incendiary function.
• Abrams Environmental Hazard and Combat Suit (EHCS)
  
  EHCS

  The standard issue EHCS is a model disdainfully reffered to by soldiers as the “Clunker”. The suit is heavy and noisy. Most soldiers have either modified the suit or have purchased their own ECHS’s from different companies. Every suit has an internal climate regulator, keeping the wearer safe from extreme heat or cold. They also have jumpjets in the heels allowing for enhanced mobility. While some models don’t have it, the Clunker has a deployable vibroblade in the forearm.
• Standard Uniform
  
  Standard uniform

  While almost all fighting is done while wearing ECHS’s, the Interum Army issues every soldier a uniform that is typically worn in non combat situations or scenarios where ECHS’s are unusable. The above is the special version of the uniform issued to northern BGO soldiers who operate in a constantly cold climate.

While that is the standard issue gear, almost every soldier uses something different. Be it adopting a unique uniform to fit their own style, purchasing exotic firearms, or using entirely different ECHS’s, the Interum Army gives its soldiers much freedom in the equipment that they use.

It is as of yet unknown what gear the Tellosian invaders will be using.

countries

• The Western Commonwealth: An industrious nation famous for its complex mechanical warmachines. Currently skirmishing with Interum on their border. Borders Interum to the West.
• Evoria: A socialist republic to the southeast. Famous for its philosophers and thinkers, it is a mostly peaceful nation. It is currently on the losing side of a brutal war with Ganaria. Borders Interum in the southeast.
• Ganaria: A fascist nation to the northeast. It has little natural resources and has generated most of its wealth through conquest. Famous for its highly trained soldiers. Currently at war with Interum and Evoria.
• The Isari Empire: Large Empire to the south of Interum, has rich natural resources. Famous for the guerrilla nature of its fighting. Currently at war with Interum because of border disputes. Borders Interum to the south.
• Tellosia: Smaller nation to the north of Interum. Makes most of its money through trade and the minerals present in its many mountains. Was an ally of Interum until only recently, when it sent a large invasion force into Interum’s borders. Borders Interum to the north.
• Interum: The most powerful of the known nations. An economic powerhouse with many natural resources, it has conscripted a massive and well-equipped army to defend its borders. Currently engaged in war or conflict with all but one of its bordering nations.
