This is obviously the OOC and signup for the roleplay I'm trying to start named checkmate. The story will take place during the present day, so feel free to reference some of the events in the chat or other roleplays. Use any character or make up a new one for this roleplay.

Here is the background:

4 months prior to the current date, Saudi general Kroger Haggai was appointed as acting president of the country while the president was incapcitated due to injuries sustained after an attempt on his life. Kroger then proceeded to occupy areas of Japan, Russia. and China, controversy already surrounded him being appointed president, but now he was on the verge of starting a few wars. The other countries and many organizations of the multiverse were opposed to Kroger and began investigating. With Kroger's power growing by the day, he was able to find out who was investigating him and killed them all. This weakened the United States, Japan, China, England, and Germany, these countries and others declared war on Saudi Arabia and Kroger's reign of tyranny.

Many organizations were formed for and against Kroger. Some legal and some not so.

These are the Factions so far:

Kroger's Regime: Made up of members of many different races and using some very advance technology. How he aquired this technology is unknown at this point.

The Allies: Made up of a collection of countries. They oppose Kroger and his ways, they've been doing their best against him. But they are steadily losing the war.

The Syndicate: A seemingly criminal organization opposed to Kroger, but they aren't on the side of the Allies either. They are independent and are currently funding terrorist group opposing Kroger.

Mercenaries and Independents: The ones the other organizations hire to do the dirtiest of work. And those that have a personal score to settle with another faction.
