War! - The New Order

lynksys · **War!** 06-05-2011

This is a Modern Day RPG that involves the lives of Soldiers in Afghanistan. All soldiers will be males and in their prime years. Some have several experience in Combat, others are "Cherries", or "Virgins" to the realities of war.

*******************************RULES********************************
1. No killing in this RPG without my say so. This includes friendlies and enemies alike. Most combat occurs at from 300 meters outward. The maximum effective range of the M16A4 is about 500 meters, and enemies will be barely larger than the iron sights on your weapons. Hitting them will be extremely difficult without optics.

2. No females. You are Combat Infantrymen, and Females are not allowed to serve in this field. Other jobs may open up later, which will allow females to be rped (such as cooks) possibilities depend on the number of people in the RPG.

3. Stick to the weapons offered. You are soldiers, and WILL use what is issued to you. Use of enemy weapons in combat is not permitted, as this will result in friendly fire. Enemy weapons may be used at ranges in the base.

4. This is a mountainous terrain. Expect casualties, either from ambushes, the elements, or sheer bad luck. I will make admin posts that will influence major events that take place in this RPG.

5. No controlling other member's characters unless their absence causes a stall in the story. Minute things like "he nodded" or "grunted" or whatever are acceptable.

6. Weapons and Attachments. Stick to 2 attachments per a weapon. The attachments are lasers, suppressors, Red Dot sights, ACOG sights, Grenade Launchers, or Bipods.

7. Jobs. The main jobs available for now will be Grenadier (M16A4 w/ M320 Grenade Launcher +1 attachment), Rifleman (M16A4 +2 attachments), Advanced Rifleman (M4A1 +2 attachments), and Automatic Rifleman (M249 SAW or Mk48 + 2 attachments). No Designated Marksmen at the moment.

8. Be realistic. This relates to rule 1. Obviously, the M16A4 will be less prone to jamming and have longer range than the M4A1, but it will not have Automatic firepower. The M249 is going to have a higher rate of fire and less recoil than the Mk48 but at the cost of reliability, Stopping Power, and range.

9. Have fun. This is an attempt to get you the closest to experiencing war as you can while still being safe.

Back Story: (Keep it simple if you want. Not required)

You are soldier in Afghanistan. The year is 2006, and fighting is intense in the Korengal Valley. This valley is the Farthest the Soviets ever pushed back in the 1980s. Now, us American Soldiers are here to keep the enemy at bay, while turning the Civilian Population in our favor.

We are Battle Company, the most respected company in our Battalion. We're the ones on the front lines at the Forward Operating Base. Slowly, we're pushing deeper into the valley, and timing, luck, and skill will determine the outcome.
***********************************************
At our current FOB, there are M2HB Machine guns inside armored platforms. The Base is elevated, giving us a good view over the valley while providing excellent defense. The barracks are nothing too special, as Command recently cut off extra supplies for a while. However, they do provide pretty good protection against the elements, and there is a feeling of security while in them. Outside the barracks is a burn pit where trash is burned and meals are cooked.

The temperature is slightly chilly since it is nearing winter, and people prefer to remain in the full ACU set to keep warm. Inside the barracks is a stove that is used for personal use, and it also acts as a heater.

Gender: Male
Age: 21
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Years of Service: 1
Rank: Corporal
Job: Automatic Rifleman
Weapons: MK48 - Beretta M9
Attachments: ACOG & Bipod
Back Story: Born in Ireland, O'rian lived with his mother and father until the age of 7. His father, a diagnosed alcoholic was increasingly becoming more, and more hostile towards his family. Garrison witnessed beatings of his mother, fists clenched knowing there was nothing he could do. With tears running down his cheeks, Garrison ran to his mother, grasping her, begging his father to stop. Without saying a word, his father slapped Garrison across the face. His mother, in even more pain than her son found the strength to dive on top of Garrison, using herself to shield him from the blows. Satisfied with his feat, the father walked to bed, leaving his family, huddled in a ball to lay in pain. One night his mother abruptly woke Garrison during his rest, trying to remain calm, she urged him to follow her into her vehicle. Half asleep Garrison made his way to the car, oblivious to what was happening. He noticed his mom looked anxious, shaking as she slowly turned the keys in the ignition. The second the car starts, Garrison and his mom quickly made their way away from their home, to a safer place. Garrison asked his mom what was happening as he returned to consciousness, but all she would answer is that they were going on a small vacation, and that daddy needed some time alone. Arriving at a familiar house, Garrison quickly realized that he was going to be saying with his Uncle. After several days spent at his Uncle's house, he and his Uncle made their way to a local airport, to be flown to the U.S. where Garrison can continue life without any threats, or worries. In the U.S. Garrison experienced a new side of life, life without hate, fear, and grief. Living with his uncle in a small apartment located in Albany, NY, Garrison decides to give back to the country that privileged him with freedom. At the age of 20, O'rian joins the Army, with the zeal of patriotism, the guilt for his mother, and the enveloping hatred towards his father, staining his conscience.
