More Than Courage

More Than Courage

0 INK

As tensions in the Middle East and the rest of the world escelate, a new wet-works team is founded to perform the deadliest black-ops missions in recent history.

1,423 readers have visited More Than Courage since Eli the Walker created it.

Introduction

Welcome to your new home, soldier.

Officially: you are now a member of the 1st JSRD. That's the "1st Joint Services Research Division" in case you're curious. However, as you may have guessed: you weren't selected for this unit just to work on testing out the military's latest toys. As you should full-well know, tensions in the world have been on the rise ever since the first US soldiers went in to Iraq and Afghanistan, and so far they're only get worse with each passing day. So far North Korea seems to be getting ready to storm in to their southern neighbors, Iran is starting to cause trouble on the border (but according to all the news reporters it's just "Al-Queda resistance cells"), and the world is in a huge mess.

Whatever unit in this fine nation's military you came from: you did good enough to get here.

You have ceased to exist.

I don't know if any of you have heard this kind of speech before, but I'd be surprised if you had. You are black-ops people. You are going to engage in operations so secretive that discovery of the United States' involvement could seriously compromise our nation's position.

The odds are always against you.

You are always outnumbered.

However, you will never fail in your mission.

We call ourselves "The Trust". Well, that's what the pin-heads in the Pentagon call us. So take pride: your the first Trustees in American history . . . and nobody will ever know that you exist.

Toggle Rules

1.) Don't god-mod.
2.) No meta-gaming.
3.) Be realistic. We aren't going to have any teenage super-soldiers.
4.) I'm the GM. Therefore, I am always right.
5.) If I am not right, then refer to rule number 4 for guidance.
6.) Please have fun!


Character Skeleton
Name: (This is an American unit. It's okay to have non-American names, but then you would need to cover that in your bio, such as with your parents being 1st or 2nd generation immigrants to the US, or just very traditional.)
Call-Sign: (If I see people adopting names like "Viper" or "Cobra" without a good reason, I'll beat somebody. These names aren't given to sound cool. They're given to the person as a representation of something about them, or their personality.)
Rank: (Use US Army ranks, and be realistic. You're not going to be some young buck-private. Corporal or higher, but don't go too extreme, like making your character a Major.)
Age: (You're not a teenage super-soldier, and you're sure as hell not becoming an experienced special operations soldier before the age of 20, at least.)
Gender: (Since females aren't allowed in special operations teams in the US, you'll need to think of a good reason to be female.)
Former Unit: (Green Berets, US Rangers, Air Force Pararescue, Marine Force Recon, Navy SEALs, etc. None of the SAS and other units. This is an American-founded unit.)
Speciality: (Don't put "knives" just because you think it seems cool, or something like that. By this I mean things like "Demolitionist" or "Medic" or even "Communications". Things like that.)
Appearance: (Try to find a realistic image. Descriptions are acceptable.)

Other: (Any information that doesn't fit in the skeleton, or any of the other sections.)


Also: don't fill out the equipment section. As a skilled operator, your equipment may need to change with the mission.

"What about equipment and what not. Is it our choice of load out or are we going with the lest amount of equipment possible. Also I thought we were the only trusties. Now we are rescuing another bunch. Oh and am I on gunner because I'm the best shot in this outfit?" Sergeant Cause said with a little chuckle.

More than anything he was just wondering about why everyone was where they were. There was method to the madness, once he can figure out what was going through the head of the Captain, or at lest reasoning behind his decisions he could operate better under the Captain. The others were going to be easy, he didn't have to understand them he already knew how they thought in the field because they had all had the same basic combat training. They were all trained under the same principles for the most part. That and the units like this would spend together outside of combat would allow them to read each others minds.

"This group was founded back before JFK was assassinated, Sergeant." Captain Deshazo had his arms clasped behind his back in a resting position, "You are most certainly not the first ever Trustees. Not by far."

He then shrugged rather casually.

"As far as equipment: I'm not you. Keep in mind that we need to move quick and fast, in an urban scenario, but outside of that I know that you are very highly trained individuals. I know you are all more than capable of knowing what you are and aren't good with. You wouldn't have made it in to this unit if you weren't. Also, the reason you were chosen as gunner was quite simple: chance. I wanted to make sure that there was one officer in each vehicle, which meant it definitely couldn't be our team's designated sniper, and when I was reading through the team roster my finger just happened to stop on your name."

Most recent OOC posts in More Than Courage

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

I guess so, unfortunately.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Sooo, this is completely dead right?

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

I say go for it. Something is better than nothing.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

I would like to post, though I was hoping Talisman or Mr. Raines would post first. Though I can go ahead if ya'll like.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

The only thing I can think to ask is numbers and strength. I just don't think its worth a post on it,

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Same-sies.

BTW: Feel free to post multiple posts containing questions as you think of them. Keep in mind that you're characters are trained soldiers. They're probably not fans of risking their lives with minimal info to back them up.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Fair enough.

I really wish someone would post here. I really want to see where this story goes.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

I had just figured that with the amount of people who would join, it wouldn't be very believable that they were the only field operatives of the group. Thought I had changed it. Sorry.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Haha, its cool dude, evaluations of the story line. It happens to me all the time.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

I did? Crap. I meant to edit that out, sorry.

From when I was first writing this story.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Anyone else notice that the intro page said we were the first trusties in american history?

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Wait, crap! I missed everything in the IC... I wait a long while before I check the IC on this one... I don't know why... I'll try to catch up tomorrow, my grammar is suck right now.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Its nice to know I am not the only one that is happy about this. Now I don't feel so bad drinking the night away over it.

Now go post!

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Bin Laden is dead! I know it might be of little relevance to the actual thread, but I just wanted to express my celebration. I would never celebrate the death of a human being yet this is one I can honestly said I am thankful is over. Amen!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Thats what we call them. If you live in a place with a decent amount of light poles. Run to one, sprint to the next, then run to the next, sprint to the next, so forth and so on. You just keep going till you can;t do it any more. You do it hard enough you can run a mile in a couple weeks.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Dude you have no idea how much your going to run. I think we did a few miles everyday. That and push up got me. (My arm is all jacked up and what not.)

Best I know to build up your running is Indian sprints.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Nah. I just need to work (a lot) on my running time.

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

You worried about it yet?

Re: [OOC] More Than Courage

Seeing as it's the Army National Guard . . . :P



Seriously, though: yes. I'll be training right along side active and Reserve boys, with the same equipment, and to the same standards.
