The Korean war. Referred to commonly as "The Forgotten War" or "The Unknown War" in the South due to the lack of coverage by the west. It was a war that left the Korean Peninsula devastated and ravaged, all the families are still unable to visit their relatives who were taken from them at the end of the War, and both sides have maintained the frosty relationship seen at the start of formal division. It was a war the likes of which had never been fought on Korean soil before: a war involving tanks and heavy bombardment, one that had never been seen to the still relatively isolationist nation.
You are members of the famous Crocodile Company, part of the 1st Infantry Division. During the start of the war the Capital of South Korea (Seoul) was overrun by DPRK troops. Fearing the loss of the entire Korean peninsula the UN and other nations decided on a last measure plan; the creation of the Crocodile Company consisting of soldiers and veterans from 30 different nations, combining their specialities and their skills it was hoped they would co-operate to defeat the North Korean troops. on the 4th August 1950 (IRL the North Koreans crossed it on the 5th) it was decided that the Company would not only help defend the Nakdong river (alongside the 24th Infantry) but also lead counter-offensives into enemy land. The Allies have great confidence in the Company and the South Koreans have been given leadership; Captain Kim was personally chosen to lead the company through his bravery and battle skills. The IC starts with the defence of a High school building on the top of some hills that is blocking the North Korean advance, the total number of troops present is the entirety of the Crocodile Company (70) and 40 students recruited from the school. There are two tanks controlled directly by the Company thanks to High command.

This is a Character RP but a few players may be given control of nations (DPRK, PRC, USA), ask and then refer me to your best RP work. You may only ever have 2 characters at any one time. Apps are below the spoiler, everything up to this point (August 1950) has been the same and apart from the initial victories of the North, anything could change. Perhaps we'll end up with a Communist Korea, or a Capitalist Korea or maybe there won't be a unification and it will end with an armistice or cease-fire like in real life.
Rules:
1. My word is the law
2. Listen to my Co-OPs
3. Try to be active, it'll be relatively fast paced seeing as we want to cover as much as possible
4. While there will be battles and skirmishes not all of you will be involved, you may either stay quiet or post a few lines on what you are doing while you are not fighting.
5. No-one is invincible, if one of your characters die then replace them.
6. While you are not currently allowed to play on the other side, once both your characters die ask me for permission and post another app.
7. Friendly fire is on.
8. Everyone has a limited amount of ammo. You can have two weapons (probably a rifle/machine gun and a pistol), a knife, grenades, and spare magazines.
