_____________________________________________________
The Invictus' history goes back to the crusades. During the 1600s, they were officially formed by a man called the Oro in order to combat the forces of the Christians across the holy land. Because of the Invictus' appeal and the numbers they were able to gain in a short amount of time, they were able reclaim the holy land for the Muslims. As the years passed, their influence and numbers increased, expanding Islam to other planets and even realms. Today they masquerade under the guise of a business and name brand that idolizes the first Invictus and as a mercenary company, despite them being the real thing.
Many members of the Invictus are not stock Humans, most of them being some form of demon or other paranormal beings. This makes them far more dangerous in battle, even without their guns and swords. Primarily they are made up of Humans and Strigoi Viu, though different races and species join their ranks. They usually wear light Invictus chest body armor and are usually armed with various weapons. The most common among the Invictus are Glock-17 .45s and FNP 90s. The armor was made from an unknown alloy that made it more than capable to withstand all types of damage, and the weapons were made of the same alloy, as were the bullets. Though the bullets also had clear tips, within the tips of the bullets was this lightly glowing highly acidic and highly toxic teal liquid. When the bullets come into contact with a person the tips of the bullets explode in a sense, sending the teal liquid out to burn the flesh and bone completely, also infecting the wound with it's toxic properties within minutes.
The Invictus's Story

The Invictus make their way into the bar numbering in at twelve, they were dressed in their identifying colours of red and black, were armed with Automatic Kalishnikov fourty-sevens, and wore flak jackets made of an unknown and unusually strong alloy. They would proceed to an empty table and sit, conversating about whatever.
The Invictus would stand up at the sound of a vehicle approaching the bar, once it stopped they looked to each other and then to the door. Soon the sounds of the vehicle's doors opening and closing followed by footsteps could be heard, many footsteps at that.
The Invictus would make their way into the bar, they numbered in at thirteen and were dressed in red and black biker-style clothing which bore the Invictus logo more than three times on some on all of their clothing. The head of the pack was a woman with a mohawk, a Beretta .45 on her hip, and a baseball slung so that it rested on her back. Needless to say, she was tough, though the her body size was average at most. People would be able to tell that she was far stronger than she looked, and the depth of her strength went beyond human nature. "Let's go." She said, her and the Inivctus soon heading to some tables, the other Invictus had been armed with Glocks, Desert Eagles, and UZI 9mms. Small arms, nothing big, they didn't need to attract too much attention.
The Invictus did what they usually did in the bar, sat around gossiping, making fun of other bar patrons, stroking their egos, stroking their guns, stroking their egos by talking about their guns. Though, not all of them were like that, some were more laidback and calm.
The Invictus enter the bar, 400 deep, all texting on cellphones and sidekicks.
The Invictus also brought in 73 boomboxs, 40 people were using laptops.
The Invictus leave the bar.
The Invictus springs a trap, an inter-dimensional portal, courtesy of the PLA. It would open up as soon as The Tormented stepped outside, sucking him with it's intense force.
The Invictus would power down the portal, which would send The Tormented to some forsaken hell filled with an infinite amount of electronic devices.
The Invictus raised an eyebrow at Ilse, "No, you learn to live by doing what you want, then fixing what you can as a result." Kazen told Ilse, "Affect those people." Kazen said to Ilse, "Eh... pay me no nevermind." He said to her, shrugging a shoulder. "Forget I said anything. Ain't me place to try, aye?" The Irishman said to Ilse.
The Invictus peered out of the booth quickly to see where everyone was, the pain in his arms was going to be hard to work with. But, he had worst. The Irishman fired off his last three shots at one of the men that had entered with Viktor, intending to take one out before working on getting rid of anyone else that came with that man.
Several vans, sedans, trucks, motorcycles, and other types of vehicles would ride down the main street, coming to a stop near Gambit's bar. They didn't get too close to the ruined bar and tent beside it, obviously because there were guns going off. The vehicles all had the Invictus logo on them, making it obvious who they belonged too. Stryfe, Anodyne, and Phinx climbed out the back of a van, the rest of the Invictus getting out of their respective vehicles. They numbered in at about forty altogether, their intentions were known only to them for now.
"Let's go." Stryfe said, leading the large group of mercenaries down the street. Her optimistic way of walking confusing those she came with. Stryfe had finished smoking a large amount of cannabis, is all.

The Invictus mercenaries all looked to Padma, but soon a blond female soldier spoke up. "We aren't just guards." The woman said, an evident French accent coating her words. "We protect our own, this is a time of... war." She said, "Those three men are some of the most important to our organization. They stay alive, all is well."
"We have." The French mercenary told Padma. "We always do." She said, "Several of us are assassins by definition. We research, we have eyes everywhere." She said, "Jade Emile, of the Invictus, at your service." Jade told Padma, "And we are Human, mostly. Kind."
Jade shook her head. "We are not all women. The Invictus are made up of men and women. We do what we're good at." Jade said, "Despite our genders."
Jade shook her head, but then she nodded once. "Well, yes." She told Padma. "But, I do not hold the authority to hire, and we'll need to see what you're about. Background checks, well, as far back as we can check. The last thing we need are traitors."
Jade pointed to Kazen, and then to Izumi. "Those two are the ones that you should see since they're here." The woman said, "But, they are busy... you can try back some other time." She told Padma, "Just look for anyone with our patch and you should be able to find someone." Jade said, pointing to the Invictus logo on the bicep of her black shirt.
Jade smiled, "There are hundreds of thousands of us." She said, referring to the overall membership of the Invictus. "That is including our members that can be considered inactive." The woman told Padma, "What we do is what we're hired to do. Kill, protect, burn, transport, train. What I do? I mostly do security and investigate for clients. I used to be a police officer."
The Invictus came out of their positions, "Excuse us." Jade said to Padma. "Who brought their things?" She asked the mercenaries. "It's day, just open a window." A mercenary responded, "How the fuck are we supposed to find the windows?"
