I do have a preference for smaller groups myself, though we'll have to see. In any case, the OOC is being worked on (slowly) as I write this and I'm already starting to formulate the opening mission. Anyone like Africa?
I'll have to admit I've actually never had the chance to see The Losers, though I'm certainly interested now. Well, anyway, good to have the interest! I'll get started on creating the OOC soon. Do any of you have any particular preferences when it comes to group size?
Glad to have both of you! Yes, some action-comedy influence should definitely be expected, it always makes things quite enjoyable. Hopefully, we should get some more interest soon, so we can get the not so conventional operating on the road.
That's totally within the realm of possibility, considering I'm thinking of taking some (read; a ton) of influence from the Metal Gear franchise.
This looks interesting. Count me in.


Good to hear, I'll note you down. Out of curiosity are there any particular things you'd want or expect out of this?
Today, conflict is a regularity and in the near future, this remains the case. To be brutally honest, it always has been, being a part of the dominant, most intelligent and most successful species of the planet. From ethnic wars, to insurgencies, to civil wars, to the grand battles between the greatest nations of the world, fighting is nothing new. For many, it's the most horrible thing imaginable, for others, it's a means to and end, for quite a few, it's a business...

For some, it's a life.

These men and women fight all over the globe, but also no where at all, they fight loud and they don't fight at all (or do they?), they are from all walks of life and yet the same.

They take the AFU out of SNAFU's. Most of the time.

This is their story. And Hell, it might end up being quite the tale.




Introducing Non-Standard Operators, a RP that is unfortunately not about telephone operators. As you might have guessed so far, this is in fact a RP telling the exploits of an as of yet unnamed group of soldiers and so far, it probably sounds pretty generic. The catch is that I, as someone with no military service to speak of, only know about warfighting and soldiery from what I've seen in games and read fanatically on internet sites and articles. These soldiers will reflect that, as their name suggests and all the normal rules will be thrown out the window, almost as if they were unknown to them. Not to say it won't be realistic, in fact, realism will be a primary goal and be very appreciated, but you can expect anything and everything that gets in the way of the missions of these characters to be completely disregarded, along with anything else that they just don't like, from the small things like saluting superiors and ranks, to Rules of Engagement and, fittingly, Standard Operating Procedures. They may be crazy, not all of them, but no one can really be sure, since most are too afraid to ask.

And honestly, I'd love to hear ideas from anyone else hoping to get involved in this. This may still seem quite generic, but I want to make this interesting yet fun, realistic, yet laid-back in character and perhaps atmosphere from time to time.

There's also a lot of decisions I have yet to make for this that I'd be happy to share with everyone in this. Things like the unit's name, whether it'll be combined arms or just infantry, types of missions... Any ideas are definitely welcome. I want to be clear that I don't want this to be Call of Duty RP #782, there's still going to be realism, but I want not only the RP to be as open and free as possible as the actions the characters can take in it.
On te souhaite tous la bienvenue, alors! Fais comme chez-toi! c;
...just don't actually post too much in French. It doesn't tend to end well. Again, warm welcomes and have a great time!
Hey Raevyn, where are you from~? Metropolitan Frenchman right here! Welcome, by the way! I really hope you enjoy the Guild, it really is quite the wonderful place!
Name
Kauko
Age
16 years old.
Gender
Male
Orientation
Heterosexual
Appearance
Standing at a modest height for his age and gender of 168 centimeters, Kauko is a slim, modestly formed specimen of a teenage boy, lacking much muscle but at the same time, not being too fat either. Possessing little body hair despite his age, though, Kauko has a rather innocent, almost childish look to him, causing many to assume him much younger than his actual age, to his complete and utter apparent indifference. The only real contrast to his particularly juvenile appearance are his hands, well-built and strong, with a good grip, while being quite contrastingly nimble. His typical posture isn't excellent, however, despite his build, usually slumping over somewhat, though not out of fragility or laziness, but instead out of being a bit too zoned out at times, when he holds a serious, cold expression. He has a rather feminine hair length, his light brown hair descending in light, soft but smooth bangs onto his face, covering his ears and descending past his neck in certain positions and postures. In particular, it has an unfortunate habit of falling in front of his eye, even below his glasses, though the teen doesn't seem to mind much, his monocular depth perception being deceptively good for his pitiful eyesight. On the subject of his eyes, he has very light hazel eyes, with typically small pupils. He usually has a rather cold stare, blinking less than most other people do and his long eyelashes giving him a somewhat feminine look, to the point of some wondering if he wears makeup. His skin is atypically pale, though fortunately not especially vampiric and we return to his childish, even feminine appearance in the very smoothness of his skin, soft, smooth and especially warm. In effect, a grand contrast is found in Kauko's appearance as many parts of his physique give off a cold impression, whereas, at the same time, warmth can be found in his skin, this idea reinforced by his typical attire of a sweater with, usually, a dress shirt underneath along with warm corduroy pants, never jeans or khakis...
Personality
Kauko
It was once said that Kauko is a person as cute as he is irreproachable... or was it inapproachable? Nevertheless, much in the same line as his appearance, Kauko has the outward appearance of a cold, calculating and uncaring person, even being considered emotionless at times. However, in reality, this particular facet of the impression he gives others from his actions is, in reality, not due to him being indifferent to those around him, but instead a difficulty in expressing his true emotions, stemming from his condition. In reality, Kauko feels a whole range of emotions, especially a true kindness within him and a caring for others, an affection for those dear to him and a desire to protect and fight against those who threaten his close kin and cherished friends. Indeed, due to his near inability to do so much as smile when he is happy, Kauko has a deep appreciation for those who give him their friendship and philia, wanting to guard and keep their trust for as long as he possibly can, subconsciously considering it the greatest of gifts he could ever receive. Even in his very personality, the contrast observed in his appearance of a cold visual aspect and his warm internal representation by the feeling of his very skin, Kauko may, as mentioned before, seem cold and especially apathetic by his actions, but his feelings are of genuine admiration for any love given to him by others. His cold actions are unfortunately, despite his greater intentions, accentuated by a monotone way to speak, once again due to his condition. His greatest desire and objective is to one day be able to show his caring for the well-being of others and overcome his difficulties of expression, but there is no doubt that he has a long way to go and many, many challenges to overcome in the future. In regards to the violence he must face, a deep horror stirs in a part of him, but due to an opinion etched within him that he must do anything to protect those at his side, friends or allies, his state of spirit when it comes to causing pain and even death upon others is one of acceptance, not taking joy nor finding despise of himself in the consequences of his acts.
