Task Force Phoenix(MT-OOC-Open)

[Australian Antarctica]

We Ain't Makin' No Goddamned Cornflakes Here!

Co-OPs: Tayner

Intro
The modern world is one of chaos. With the rise of rogue nations and terrorist groups around the globe, a new form of warfare is found. This war is not fought in great battles with clear victors and losers. No, this war is fought in the hearts and minds of the people involved. Soldiers are targets still, but secondary. Bombings and shootings against civilians across the world is how groups spread their messages. This new form of warfare requires a new force to fight. This is where Task Force Phoenix comes in. Task Force Phoenix was formed sometime in the early 2000s to help combat the rising threat of terrorism. Formed from a joint Delta Force/SAS team that was nearly decimated in the early days of the War in Afghanistan, they are the best of the best. They stay out of the public spotlight, unknown to any but a small few of government officials around the globe. They hold allegiance to no one entity and have no rules of engagement. Where other groups can't or won't go, they can and will. They aren't just cold-blooded killers though. Task Force Phoenix can also take on the roll of humanitarians and heroes, evacuating civilians from warzones and freeing villages from the clutches of insurgents and murderers. They are the best of the best, and you will soon join their ranks.

How This RP is set up
Teams
You will be assigned to a 'Team' which is just a squad of soldiers. From there you are assigned to a fireteam. Each fireteam should have a specialty. Maybe one fireteam is good for combat support, while another may be good at undercover work. You will not always stay in the same squad or fireteam. You may be moved around for an operation.

Operations
Operations, or Ops as I call them, are going to be as realistic as possible. They will range from Assassinations to Inelegance Gathering to CSAR if needed. As stated above, you may work with different teams depending on the operation type. In some ops you may work with other Special Forces units, from SEALs to Spetsnaz. I will control these units to reduce confusion. Ops will be conducted at least once and In game week. To find if you are part of an op, check the IC or here for the ops and if you are involved. To make this realistic I will be using google maps and finding real world locations so you can get a good view of the situation. After every op, I will post results. Results will range from new intel leading to another mission to total busts. You will be given a good amount of intel before an op. From there you have to decide what to bring. For instance, you would not take an M249 SAW on an under cover op in China, on the other hand, you would not go empty handed. Use your brain, or have it blown out, your choice.

Combat
If you are signing up for this RP you should know what combat is like, it isn't taking on 500 ISIS soldiers with a machete. You will run out of ammo, you may be wounded or killed. Like I said, no worries, if you 'die' in combat you can make a new character* Also remember to use your head. Don't use something you do not have, like magically pulling a SMAW from your pants. That is a no-no

Rules
1. Don't be a Jerk. Really, you know what I mean. Be nice and polite. Anything I deem rude gets you a warning. 1 warning, 1 missed op. 2 warnings, character is wounded and misses anywhere from 5-10 ops depending on length. 3 warnings, and you're out, kaput, you've met your maker.

2. Keep active. I'm fine if you are gone for a day or two, we all get busy, but anything longer and I reserve the right to take control of your character. If you know in advance that you may be busy, just let me know and we can work something out.

3. No godmodding. Real surprise, right? I know we're an elite unit and all, but there is a difference between being an well-trained, dashing, and experienced operator and just being a damn superhero. No killing 50 guys armed with RPGs with a cornflake. You are not MacGyver or Chuck Norris.

4. Good posts are key. Description, character development, interactions, and grammar are all great things. If you are a new player try your best. If you are a veteran to this site, I'll expect more from you. I understand that everyone gets writer's block and may not have the greatest posts, but I don't want to see constant let-downs.

NO ONE LINERS!!!

Physical Description/Picture: TBD
State of Origin: Alaska

RP Experience: OP Privilege
Personal History/Bio: Born in Northern Alaska, Jack had a rough childhood. His parents had moved there a few years before Jack was born, and as such he'd never really known a normal childhood. They lived on a small homestead, barely surviving year after year. He was 'home schooled', but only barely. Instead of being taught conventional things, like Math and English, he was taught how to hunt and fish. He found himself a natural at shooting, much to his father's approval. When he was 16 a pack of wolves attacked their home. His parents were both killed and Jack only barely made it out himself. Packing his things, he headed south. He worked odd-jobs for cash on his way to Anchorage. It took him almost two years, and when he finally reached Anchorage he was just a few days older than 18. What else was a young man with no education and no official work experience to do besides join the military?

Surprising the recruiter who thought of Jack as nothing more than another dumb local, Jack passed all the tests given to him. He passed Ranger Training at the top of his class and soon went on to serve several tours in both Iraq and Afghanistan. Soon he was given a choice; Retire or join Delta. He chose the latter. A few years and a few dozen missions later, Jack was drafted into an international task force known only as Phoenix. A couple years with them and he found himself the leader of his own unit within.

Name: Greg Adams
Age: 32
Rank: Master Gunnery Sergeant
Physical Description/Picture:

Nation/State of Origin: Georgia, USA
Combat Experience: Operation Enduring Freedom: Afghanistan, Operation Strike of the Sword.
Specialties: Marksmanship with carbines, can speak Latin and French
Weapons of Choice: M4A1, M1911
RP Experience: None/All
Personal History/Bio: Born in Macon Georgia, Greg lived a normal childhood. He was raised very patriotic, and when he was seventeen, he watched the greatest terror attack on American soil unfold, and asked his parents if he could enlist in the Marine Corps. He went through training at Paris Island and was placed in infantry. He participated in the initial stages of Operation: Enduring Freedom: Afghanistan. He served many tours in Afghanistan, rising through the ranks.

In 2009, Greg, being a Sergeant, was a team leader who was reassigned the Second Marine Expeditionary Brigade. He was in Operation: Strike of the Sword. His team was tasked with clearing out a village on the Helmend River. After approaching the village, Greg was hit by a sniper round, but the bullet grazed his arm, so he continued to lead his squad. After eliminating the sniper, the team entered the village.

The six riflemen came under fire from a machine gun nest, and one of the men were hit, and was pinned down and separated from the team. Greg, under fire, sprinted to the wounded Marine, and gave first aid to the Marine before throwing a frag grenade into the MG nest, eliminating the threat, but not before the MG hit him in the shoulder. After clearing out the rest of the village, the team returned to their FOB.

Greg was awarded the Purple Heart and Medal of Honor for his actions, and was promoted to Staff Sergeant. After recovering from his wounds, he went back to serve in Operation Strike of the Sword up until 2014, when he was selected to be in the Raiders. For two years he served with the Raiders, doing Force Recon in Iran as well as doing embassy security for a breif stint, before being recruited by a Task Force Phoenix.

Yes. I'm unsure other nations though. As this is an international team you do not have to be American.

Henry Fischer was the 1st son in a military family. His grandfather had severed, and his father was currently a general overseas. From a young age Henry had grown up in a military household and was very displinded. He almost never disobayed his fathers word and caused his mother little trouble. He began his role as a leader early on as he and his three brothers would often play war games in their large yards. When young Henry wasn't fighting imaginary wars, he could be found reading the art of war by henri jombi, or a nice Tom Clancy book, red storm rising was his favorite. Between that and school was how Henry spent his time. Then around the age of 12 his father came home for a short while and presented Henry with a small hunting rilfe. From that day on when his father wasn't home to take him hunting Henry would spend time shooting cans in his backyard. The next few years of Henry's life were uneventful. That was until his second year of college school. Henry had applied for both the officers school and airforce school. He had always dreamed of flying and his natural ability as a leader made him perfect for the job of leading strike forces, and his level head thinking prepared him for high intesity mission, these, along with his sharpshooting were favored by the Army.

He was tempted to pick the airforce until the news that his younger brother had died in operation enduring freedom reached him. He then decided that he wanted to join the army and come face to face with those who killed his brother. He joined with the USA army, and completed his last two years of college and came out as an officer. We fought in operation Desert Storm under American commanders, who were very impressed with his skills, he was awarded a purple heart and 2 bronze stars. He also spent a time of 7 years in the French Foreign Legion. This say him go to the Ukraine and parts of Africa. The brutal images and experiences of those years are still with Henry today. On his 2nd Year of service in the Ukraine he was selected, in the middle of a battle, to join Task Force Phoenix.
