Black

0 INK

In the 21st century, the greatest threat mankind faces is itself. Even those fighting 'for' us, have their own hidden agendas. Step into the boots of a trained operative, fighting in the shadows.

706 readers have visited Black since Tiqeh created it.

Introduction

The following is a work of fiction, and any resemblence to real events or characters (living or dead) is purely coincidental. Viewer discretion is advised, as this RP contains mature themes.


"War. General Lee once said, it is an unnecessary condition of affairs, and can be prevented by application of wisdom on both sides... but sometimes, there are no clear-cut sides - just those who wish to do harm in the world. There are people who will stop at nothing to see the world burn, so that their ideals will rise from the ashes. That is something that I can not... we can not allow to happen. This world is ours to protect - we must fight, to preserve the peace.

The conflicts in the East are just the beginning - they are not the efforts of unorganized men. Soon, the fighting will be on our doorstep. Our countries back minimal intervention... at least, on the books... We've been given clearance to send in Shadow Company, but first, I need to find more men. We will end this war, one way or another."

~~ General James Carter, US Army, Commander of Shadow Company.


Players take on the role of members (new or veteran) of Shadow Company, a military company operating outside of laws and regulations, with an international team of highly trained soldiers, anti-terrorism operatives, and intelligence officers. Only recalled in the event of impending global conflict, Shadow Company is considered a rumour amongst regular soldiers, and can only be reinstated by NATO. Operators are recruited based on their level of experience in the field, and ability to act under pressure. Some will be put into the field undercover, and others will make up a task force sent in to deal with imminent threats.

Roles and character formats to follow:



Roles

In order to better understand the names of squads, Echo and Zulu are field operations squads, Spectre and Watchdog are sniper/recon teams, X-Ray refers to Inteligence faculties, and Overlord refers to High Command.

Existing members of Shadow Company have been recruited from the cream of the crop, including, but not limited to, international armed forces, private military companies, anti-terrorism organizations (GIGN, GSG-9, etc.), police (FBI, SWAT, etc.), and intelligence authorities (CIA, MI6).

Civilian members are almost non-existent in the ranks of Shadow Company, with the exception of scientists brought in to evaluate scenes of possible chemical/biological weaponization, who will have received firearms training, and military survival training.

If you have any questions or queries about the RP, you may ask them here, and I will respond as soon as possible. Please note that if you wish to play as a 'new recruit' to Shadow Company, you will start the RP in your previous military unit.
