Burning Point

Burning Point

0 INK

The U.S. Government has its secrets, and this one is catastrophic enough to set the world asunder. But only information crudely learned can bring an end to this well-kept secret, and topple the corruption once and for all.

636 readers have visited Burning Point since The Afterman created it.

Introduction

May 11, 2012. 10:00 P.M.
London, England.

Mission Briefing:
We have reason to suspect that the international terrorist known as Raito is holed up somewhere in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. This will be a dangerous mission, as I am sure you're all aware, but we can't afford to let this bastard slip through our fingers again. Our intel suggests that he is housed in a night market area in southwestern Kaohsiung. You have approximately three hours after arrival before Raito's boat arrives. Once he's gone, the whole mission will be compromised and we'll be in a world of shit. We want him alive so he can tell us everything we need to know, and possibly put an end to this Chinese/Japanese conflict.
Do not let him escape.

May 11, 2012. 12:30 A.M.
Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

"Eyes on visual.......standby."

"What do we have here, Captain?"

"Not sure yet. Lance, you got eyes on our boy?"

"Sure do, Captain."

"Alright, we'll worry about that later. Kane, you and Lance keep a look out and bug me if something goes wrong. Bones, Wraith, on me. Let's go boys, stay close. We've only got one shot."

2:10 A.M.

"Goddammit! Bones, get outta there! Bones!"

"Shit, he's down Captain!"

"Damn! Alright, on me, fall back! We'll take the emergency stairs and meet Raito on the rooftops!"

Later.....

"It's over Raito! Stop right there!"

"You're already too late, my friend.

"American?"

"There's my boat."

"Goddammit, sir. What do we do?"

"Nothing. There's nothing you can do. Just di-HUAH!

"Shit! They've opened fire! Fall back! Fall back!"

2:55 A.M.

"You're going away for a long time, son. Your teammates........not so lucky. But you understand: We can't let this get out to the public."

Summary
After a falling out with China, Japan has declared war on the vast nation, starting the first fires of battle with kamikaze strikes in the cities of Shanghai, Bei'jing, and Hong Kong. America, torn between their alliance with Japan and their massive debt to China, as well as their already initiated conflict in Libya, concocted a plan that may end their place in the conflict: they invented an international terrorist, Raito, and began funding Chinese military operations to combat the Japanese. This plan, set into motion, was furthered by the U.S. CIA tipping off the British SAS about Raito's whereabouts in Taiwan. Sending the Task Force Zero in to capture Raito, the British government thought to use Raito as a means to end the conflict. However, discovering that Raito was only a ruse, the Task Force was executed by a U.S. Army Special Ops division, Red Guard, and took the only surviving member prisoner so they could access information on the SAS as well, and seize control of the British military operations in Libya when China declared war on the United Kingdom for assassinating their primary funder, and declare a neutral stance on the situation.
This truth only leads to more questions, more lies, and more secrets to be uprooted. However, there is no one who knows of the government corruption outside St. Washington Military Prison.....

Toggle Rules

* These rules are, for all intents and purposes, going to make me sound like roleplay Hitler. These rules are going to sound harsh because, and I cannot say this enough, I am tired of mediocrity. I am not like this all the time, and if you actually are a great roleplayer, we will hav no problems and we can be best friends. Now, READ ALL OF THESE RULES:
0. Committment. Join if you're going to stay only. I've worked too hard and put too much thought into this for you to up and quit. Don't waste my time if you aren't going to stay.
1. No godmoding. You should know what this means.
2. Be literate. This roleplay is meant for advanced players, who actually know how to use their grammar and punctuation skills. If I don't like your grammar, you might as well kiss your chances here goodbye.
3. Be detailed. Again, a roleplay for advanced players means I want visualization. Don't be cheap.
4. Make your characters interesting and memorable. If you have a character in mind from a previous roleplay you were involved in, leave them there. I want you to make something all new, original, and memorable. No generic characters please.
5. Check the OOC often and leave all OOC posts there, not in the roleplay section.
6. ALWAYS SPECIFY YOUR LOCATION IN THE POST!!!
7. PM me for any questions/concerns you may have.
8. Have fun.

Re: [OOC] Burning Point

Well, the thing is, characters can be soldiers, either Chinese fighting the Japanese or vice versa, or you can be a French, British, or American fighting in Libya.
You also have the choice to be a CIA agent, a U.S. Senator or other official outside of the presidency or House of Representatives (because they aren't that important), in which case, I would have to fill you in on what exactly this roleplay is going to revolve around and reveal the secrets, and I'm thinking if I do that then I will only have a select few know.

Anything else you need to know?

Re: [OOC] Burning Point

This looks really good, I like your intro. However, where are our characters starting? Are they all imprisoned or are some of them on the outside and don't know anything.

Re: [OOC] Burning Point

I look forward to your participation.

Re: [OOC] Burning Point

I shall voice my curiosity here. I've got a few things to do, but expect a CS by the end of the week. :)
