Shadow Spear - Military RP

[Silverwind Blade]

2020AD:

'Shadow Spear' is the codename of a multi-national unit, created by UN agreement as a joint military first-response unit, to evaluate combat situations and act as the 'first line' against growing international crises. Their goal is to 'stop wars before they happen', by precise application of limited force and firepower from a key roster of equipment and forces drawn from member nations.

SPEARHEAD is the codename of their primary team - a unit of operators drawn from the ranks of Special Forces units of member countries for their exemplary records, strength of skills, and outstanding psychological and personal profiles as the best of an already superior breed. Each brings with them a set of complimentary skills and equipment that have been selected for their effectiveness and reliability in proven situations.

With these elements in mind, SPEARHEAD and Shadow Spear are being tasked to hunt down the 'backbone' behind international crime, terrorism and violence, and quell growing global unrest and violence, following a series of terrifyingly and apocalyptic attacks on numerous capital cities over the last 18 months that left many dead, and others crippled and wounded, as well as striking a devastating blow against the global economy.
Following the events, a group known only as the Sons of Dawn. Claiming no firm ties to existing groups, but utilising a lot of methods and tactics of other groups, they are spread across the globe, and appear to be receiving considerable funding and equipment from numerous sources, enough to challenge even conventional military forces.
Having gathered considerable political influence in many countries, they stand ready to almost become a legitimate power in some regions, and a challenge to world peace.
SPEARHEAD's primary mission will be to stop them from destablising global security, prosperity and well-being - at all costs.

Thanks, Ben. Your character looks good.

I'll write something up to get us started tomorrow, and we can begin the actual game then!

[Ben]

Ok sounds good

Post Merge: May 07, 2014, 08:06:04 AMThis has moved a lot more than I expected. I can't keep up

[Ben]

Sorry

[Rayleonarde]

Well, we were just put on a beach, and told "go".  I thought, personally, we were setting up a small base of operations, before the party started...I thought, besides Silver, we were all grunts, doing gruntwork.  I was wondering if he, Silver, was going to give us orders, or information, or something...

[Silverwind Blade]

I live in the UK, and I work full time as well - The IC went live pretty much before I went to sleep, and then I was at work for the day.
I was going to post this evening, and give more info. But the game's kind of stampeded on without me a bit. And it's kind of hard to give you all information when you've ran off all over the place.

I also expected more paragraphs per post, and more description, rather than two line posts, but that's just me.

I'll see what I can do to bring things back under control.

Can we restrict things, say, to everyone makes a round of posts - I.e., I post a descriptive GM post describing the current situation and what's happening, and then everyone reacts to that post, then waits for me to post again? That way, the plot keeps going in the right direction, and I get to keep up. Also, it makes things more consistent, rather than loads of random elements being introduced that I'm not planning for or including in my setting or plot. 

[Rayleonarde]

Sure, sounds like a decent way to bring it all together.  I didn't know you were in the UK, I didn't take that into consideration, my apologies.


   So, do you want us to remove posts, and start all over?
I'm sure that's taboo, but it's an option...

[Ben]

I like that plan

[Silverwind Blade]

Hi, all - I will get a post up in the IC thread tomorrow. I've been away all weekend visiting with friends and playing pen-and-paper RP.
I'll get something up to keep us moving tomorrow though. Hope you've all had a good weekend!

[Ben]

When are you going to post again
