For Today there is no Tomorrow (OOC: Open)

[Altegonnia]

Could I be the leader of the platoon? Aka a seargant first class?

[Benuty]

Well I suppose it wouldn't hurt, but the reasons for this platoon being sent to the hospital are still going to be secret.

Yeah, I was thinking that he would be just sent in to assist the platoon, nothing else. Just told to keep order.

Probably have him feel like his talent is being wasted or something.

Probably will be thankful once order starts to break down in Boston. Rather be stuck in one place than left to fare out in the madness of a plague ridden city.

[Benuty]

Could I be the leader of the platoon? Aka a seargant first class?

I will allow it, but understandably being one of the leaders of a faction. I will have to hold you to higher standards. If anything comes up plot wise I suppose we can work things out over telegrams.

[Benuty]

I take it your previous roleplay was pretty intense?

I generally enjoy RP's that don't require me having to post every couple hours as I have IRL things to attend to. That, and I've had bad experiences with RP's going so fast that I was kicked because I couldn't keep up (though said RP died within days if that counts as karma).

Well the first part of the IC isn't going to be high intensity (otherwise that would mess up the order).

As someone who has RPed with Altegonnia many times I can vouch for his RP quality.

I will hold you to that then.

I fully understand and am willing to be held to a higher standard. I am on NS most of the day every day and will be able to respond to your TGs quickly

[Benuty]

I suppose the IC for now will go as follows.

1) Prologue:

The hospital, and the city of Boston are unaware thanks to the media blackout of just how bad the extent of the "Japanese Flu" pandemic is. Life despite the shortages, the rationing, and the near state of martial law go on to some sense of normalcy. Someone unknowingly infected begins to experience fatal symptoms, and thus collapses in public from the fever. Unknown to those trying to revive said person they are inhaling the plague, and thus becoming infected.

I will post the journeys of the person dying of the plague, and those recently infected showing the spread in Boston. Once Bostons patient zero dies the military will be called in once cases begin to be confirmed. Longden Memorial gearing up for the annual family day will receive a rather unwelcoming surprise as vehicles roll up to the complex with people in hazmat suits.

Could I be the leader of the platoon? Aka a seargant first class?

I thought platoons are led by 2nd Lieutenants generally? and Sergeant First Class' were Platoon Sergeants while the LT's were Platoon Leaders?

I may be wrong though, just thought I'd add my two cents

You're correct. My army character will be a master sergeant but joined the 75th Ranger Regiment, thus making him special forces.

Btw, how large is this platoon? To my knowledge they can range from 15-45. Is this one in the higher or lower end of that spectrum?

I would rather it be about 15 since the military is already stretched thin as it is.

11) Characters biography: Jackson Lambert was born in Massachusetts to a military family, his father being a master seargant in the air force. His childhood was quite average but in high school was noted for being a star athlete on the football team. However instead of going on in his promising future as an athletes, he followed in his family's footsteps by joining the national guard and going to a local university to commit an ROTC program. When not under training he worked at his now retired father's car repair shop. However after several uneverntful years of service and two tours in Afghanistan where he sustained his current scars from an IED explosion, he earned the rank of First lieutenant which was supposed to only be a stepping stone in his career. However things started to go downhill recently when he got activated by the Guard and him and his platoon have been ordered to deploy and defend a hospital in Boston. Whatever the reason for this, he lacked a high enough security clearance designation to know. But he knew his orders, deploy the hospital, keep the peace. One thing he did know was that they were being sent in with anti-biological equipment meant for disasters. He assumed it was meant to be a precautionary step due to the recent reports of disease in the city. All Jackson wants is to keep his boys alive and get them home to their families safe and sound. As of right now he has no reason to think he can't. Just another in the Army.

Dog: Rascal (German Shepard, 7 years old)

14) Character Personality, and Religious beliefs (will play important role in the IC): Jackson is off duty a carefree and sociable person. He prefers bars and concerts for social interaction. However on duty as a man from long line of military personelle, he takes it seriously. He does his job the way it's ordered and follows procedure and chain of command like a bible. Jackson is an atheist however this holds absolutely zero influence over his interaction with religous people. He neither flaunts his stance nor eagerly seeks debate on the issue.

Good. This makes you number 10, and also another atheist. This means tension points are going to be even better.

Will start working on the IC. Now that I have free time tomorrow.

[Warg the Immortal]

Was my app rejected?

[Beiarusia]

...

As someone who likes organization I have a suggestion for the Roster. Would it perhaps be more convenient to organize each person into their respective category (Staff, Patient, Military, etc.) so that, at a quick glance, you could tell who's who? It's not a major turn off but just an idea.

Forgive me. I will look back over it. I am on my phone so that complicates things.

my character as platoon leader will hopefully be able to talk down points of tension. My orders are to keep well order so Ill hopefully have my men use restraint force diplomatic solutions. Lambert doesn't want to create conflict where he can avoid it. But worst comes to worst he will maintain order even if that require an action he finds outright deplorable. One his faults for such an RP as this is that has a humanistic sense of morals

11) Characters biography: John Adams was born in Boulder, Colorado. John Adams lived a standard childhood, however his father was apart of Operation Desert Storm thus was unable to see his son. John grew up having a great respect for his father knowing that he was fighting for his country.

Thus the moment John graduated from high school he enlisted in the army. John decided he would join the army in junior high thus started preparing since his freshman year of high school. So he had an easier time getting through enlistment and training. Eventually he went on to serve in the 28th infantry division where he would serve until reaching the rank of master sergeant. After distinguishing himself in combat a recruiter from the United States Army Rangers asked him to join, and after passing the requirements, officially became a Ranger.

John was actually stationed in Japan for a few years before being recalled once the Japanese Flue struck. Thus he was sent on leave in Massachusetts. It was there that he picked up his sculpting hobby and met his current girlfriend Lucy. However, he was called in by his higher ups suddenly. They didn't say why, but he is to assist a platoon from the 26th Infantry Division which is being sent to a nearby hospital.

John thinks this is just a bunch of hogwash, who wishes he was back in service. However, things don't always seem as they appear. Which John will learn the hard way.


12) Roleplaying Sample (not too uptight about this one): See first app.

13) Does the character have any family members? (they will play a role in the IC): His mother and father are in Colorado while his girlfriend Lucy lives in Boston.

14) Character Personality, and Religious beliefs (will play important role in the IC)John is cold and patient. He prefers to get the job done and make sure it's done correctly. You could say he's a perfectionist while he's on duty. Off duty John loves to spend his time reading, he also spends his free time sculpting which is how he met his girlfriend. John is an agnostic atheist, as he believes having a religion takes time away from his service.
