Subject: Abductions and Activities by Pacific Criminal Organization

An urgent development in the Pacific. Seven days ago, Chadwin Brown (age twenty-seven), son of US Ambassador to the Philippines, Terry Brown, was abducted from his hotel suite in the Royal Palms Hotel in Wellington, New Zealand. Brown was on his honeymoon with his recently wed wife Julia Pace-Brown (age twenty-four), who was also abducted. Two days after their disappearance, Ambassador Brown received a video message via email. The video showed the ambassadors son and daughter in-law horribly beaten and held hostage by unidentifiable assailants. A voice recording demanded the ambassador to transfer two million US dollars to a verified account in a bank in Sydney Australia. The recording warned that if the ambassador did not comply, or attempted to alert American or Australian authorities, Chadwin Brown would be executed and his wife would be sold on the black market.

Four days ago (three days after the kidnapping), Langley received word from an operative in Papua New Guinea; the source of the kidnapping and the ransom demand is none other than Dominic LaTrush, second in command to the notorious Akimbe Deng, leader of the largest pirate cartel and criminal syndicate in the Pacific. Deng’s syndicate has only in recent years come to Central Intelligence’s attention, and has been at the lower end of Langley’s priority list since.
However, recent intelligence from our operative in New Guinea has revealed that Deng and his associates have begun associating and contracting with terrorist cells in the Philippines, Somalia, and unstable parts of Indonesia.

DCIA (Director of Central Intelligence) Foster and the Directorate Of Operations have ordered immediate dispatch and assignment of a team of agents to contact our New Guinea cell and begin immediate operations. The primary objective of this assignment is the liquidation of this syndicate and the elimination of Akimbe Deng and all verified associates. Rescue of Chadwin Brown and Julia Pace-Brown is to be considered a secondary objective, though DCIA Foster recommends this objective to be pursued on point of arrival. However, long run goals, advantages, and outcomes are not to be hindered or deterred in pursuit of this rescue. Publicly, no knowledge of this operation has been released, and United States’ President William Sterling has declared publicly that there is no guarantee of rescue of Ambassador Brown’s son and daughter in-law. (The initial kidnapping was hoped to be kept quiet, however news media channels quickly picked up news of Brown’s kidnapping, and have been pressuring the White House for immediate action.)

As a recipient of this letter, you, {InsertFullName}, have been specially selected as a member of the elite team assigned to Central Intelligence’s cell in Papua New Guinea. Your orders and intel on the targets have been provided. There will be a debriefing with the entire team prior to departure.

Briefing will be tomorrow at eight a.m in 4E 64.

APPROVED: DIRECTOR OF CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE ADAM FOSTER

THIS DOCUMENT IS NOT TO BE LOGGED OR ARCHIVED DIRECTLY BY RECEIVING PERSONNEL. DIPOSE IMMEDIATELY.

AGENT DIRECT ORDERS
CLASSIFIED
•You are under direct orders of our agent, designated as “Mantis”. He receives direct orders from Central Intelligence. Follow his orders precisely.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES
•Ensure the death of Akimbe Deng and all other verified syndicate leaders.
•Ensure covertness. The CIA prescence cannot be verified or even suspected. Ensure all tracks are covered and all major ops against the syndicate and related parties are mum.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES
•Ensure rescue of Chadwin Brown and Julia Pace-Brown
•Ensure complete collapsation of all syndicate branches and operations.

ABOUT THIS RP
As you’ve surely deduced [>:p] this is a sort of “covert ops” RP, revolving around a team of CIA agents who have been specially assigned to a CIA cell in the Pacific Theatre (i.e Australia, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Philippines). They have been tasked with taking down a major criminal syndicate that spans from the Philippines to Australia, as well as rescuing the son and stepdaughter of a US Ambassador who have been kidnapped and are being held for ransom by the syndicate.

This roleplay was heavily inspired by Ubisoft’s FarCry 3, Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid (Peace Walker and Ground Zeroes), and Burn Notice (2008-2013). Though it will overall remain realistic and modern based. (No walking mechs and metamorphic sniper doxies.) Players will be assigned missions of various nature; search and rescue, intel collection, coordinated assaults, sabotage, and assassination.

The team will operate from the agency’s designated CP, an abandoned fishing village that has been converted into a BOA for the CIA’s cell in the region. The ultimate goal is the assassination of the four syndicate leaders and the collapse of their operations in the Pacific.

Players will create their own character of “uniqueness” for the RP. Aside from assignments, players can also recruit local assistance, establish contacts, acquire resources for home base, and gather clues and Intel on the syndicate. Mother base (designated as Eagle’s Nest) can be expanded, fortified, and more properly fitted as a base of operations.

THE SYNDICATE

Akimbe Deng was born to an impoverished family in a small Somalian village just south of Meereg, along the coastline.
His mother passed away when he was a young boy, and his father was arrested for unknown reasons when Akimbe was on the cusp of twenty. Having lost his family and soon after his home, Akimbe found himself alone and with nothing to his name. Desperate, angry, and misguided, he got involved with a large group of Somalian pirates. For years they raided, pillaged, raped, and kidnapped along the coastal line.

At some point, Deng became the leader of the pirates. Unlike his predecessor (presumably), Deng was by far a better leader. He recruited more actively, designated more efficient raids and attacks, and the pirates seized more lucrative targets. Four years after his rise to leadership, Deng and his cartel of pirates were the most feared in Somalia.

Things unraveled however when an internal struggle erupted, combined with intensified efforts by local authorities and “militia” to stand against Deng. As well as growing competition in Yemen, Eritrea, and Kenya. Within several months Akimbe Deng’s grand cartel was liquidated, and he and those who remained loyal to him fled far to the east into the Pacific.

Despite being foreigners and having high prices on their heads, Akimbe Deng and his pirates managed to establish a foothold in Southeast Asia, setting up basic operations in the Banda Sea and Arafura Sea off the coasts of Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and Australia. Using his leadership skills, charisma, and taking a more tempered approach, Deng has rebuilt his criminal empire in the Pacific.

Deng has expanded his business into multiple fronts and markets in the underworld, and rebuilt his pirate cartel by recruiting from the local regions and nations (mostly African-Australians and Aboriginals of Australia and New Guinea, as well as Indonesians.). He has also established a network of contacts across the Pacific and Indian Ocean, and has since expanded his base pirate faction into an unirivaled criminal syndicate since forming a partnership with arms dealer Buckingham Smith and prostitution and opium mogul Aulia Wisnu.

Akimbe Deng’s syndicate has ruled the seas of the Pacific for roughly a decade now, and despite hundreds of warrants, the attention of numerous covert-ops and security agencies (not to mention bounties touching the millions), his underworld monopoly has yet to be toppled or rocked. Recently, the CIA has taken increased interest in Deng and his operation due to recent intelligence that his syndicate has began shaking hands with Indonesian, Filipino, and Somalian terrorist and guerilla cells.

THE ACE OF DIAMONDS

Born in New Orleans, Louisiana, Dominic LaTrush was a bad seed from the very beginning. At age sixteen he was involved with one of the most dangerous African American street gangs in the city. By the age of twenty-one, he was responsible for multiple shootings, killings, and drug trafficking. At the age of twenty-five, he was involved with a major scale drug ring. A massive operation of smuggling cocaine and marijuana into the southern United States by boat loads.

The organization was eventually liquidated by the DEA, and Dominic was forced to flee the US with several outstanding warrants and his face on several most wanted lists. He traveled to Haiti and spent several months there before immigrating to Jamaica. He soon became involved with a Jamaican “Yardie” gang of Rastafarians. He spent two years with this gang, but was forced to flee Jamaica after a failed bank robbery that left dozens dead. Labeled as “Public Enemy Number One”, Dominic fled across the pacific and ended up in Australia.

It was in Australia that he met Buckinghan Smith. Smith referred Dominic to Akimbe Deng, who saw great potential in him. Deng appointed Dominic as his right-hand man and gave him his own crew and private island to manage Deng’s empire from.
Dominic LaTrush specifically oversees the management of Deng’s drug production and distribution business and organizes raids on small villages and passing ships. Those captured in these raids are sold on the slave markets.

Dominic is cold hearted, brutal, and prone to fits of sub-psychotic rage. He is Deng’s eyes and ears and is fanatically loyal to his boss. LaTrush is also heavily addicted to drugs, and regularly uses marijuana and cocaine.

JACK OF SPADES

Born and raised in Chester, England, Buckingham (or “Buck” as he prefers) Smith spent eight years in the army, and two in the British SAS. However just short of a decade ago, he was discharged and soon after moved to Australia to seek a new life.

He took up private security as his profession for just over a year. However this did not suit Smith’s brutal, bloodthirsty nature. It was then that he dove into the underworld as a hitman, and for two years carried out a number of killings across Australia. Smith would go on to expand his profession, hiring a small crew of miscreants and opening an arms smuggling operation across northern Australia and into Papua New Guinea.

Through his arms dealing business, Smith met Akimbe Deng. Learning of Smith’s past and his reputation as a killer, Deng began to regularly contract Smith as his personal assassin and security specialist, though he allowed Smith’s arms dealing to remain independent. Most of the weapons Deng’s men possess were acquired and sold to them by Smith.

Currently, Smith spends more of his time in Papua New Guinea and travels the surrounding islands, his arms dealing having expanded outward from Australia. He has numerous safe houses and “bureaus” established throughout Papua New Guinea, Indonesia, and the Philippines.

THE QUEEN OF HEARTS

Despite her formal appearance and striking beauty, Aulia Wisnu is just as brutal as Deng and his associates. Much like Smith, she is not directly employed by Deng, though on occasion is contracted by him or acts as a fence for his business dealings in Indonesia. She controls the largest prostitution ring in the Indonesian capital of Jakarta, and is the owner of a large and rather notorious night club called “The Red Lily”.

Aside from prostitution, she also deals in human trafficking and the opium trade. Many of her prostitutes and sex slaves are purchased from Deng, and her club is a front for mass distribution of opium in southern Jakarta. She rarely leaves Jakarta except for business meetings or sit downs with contacts or clients. She also owns a countryside estate outside of city limits, though she very rarely goes there.

Nothing is known of Aulia’s early life or past prior to opening her club and asserting herself as a major element in Indonesia’s criminal underground. Non-verifiable information states that she grew up poor in Jarkata and worked as a prostitute in a bathhouse brothel for many years. Somehow, allegedly, she killed the owner and made off with a large sum of money, using the money to build her own carnal empire. Eventually arising to the notorious stature she holds today.

In truth no not really. If you can’t provide one I’m willing to make an exception. Not like I can afford to be picky at the moment (he said jokingly).

Five, maybe six. I’m limiting player count because this is supposed to be a small elite team of agents. Not a platoon. Agent Mantis and the team will establish a sufficient base of operations and seek to put an end to the syndicate. Agent Mantis in fact has a small personal militia force recruited from locals and escaped prisoners of Dengs’.

•Character Full Name: Jake Kirby (Shapour Mundhir el-Fares)

•Codename: Desert Fox

•Gender: M

•Age: 29

•Physical Appearance:

•Race/Ethnicity: Pashtun

•Height: 5’9”

•Short Biography: Shapour was born on the 21st of April 1990 in Khanashin, Afghanistan. His family had grown cotton before, but the economic pressure and the raging war between the warlords at the time forced them into poppy production. Despite being forced into it, the family found the poppy growth to be quite lucrative. With US aid flowing into the province, the family found the funds to send all their children to school to learn to read, write, and speak English. So it was with Shapour. His family gained contacts with local American businessmen, both those trying to enter into the regular market and those seeking to export less legal goods.

When the Taliban took over and implemented their ban on opium cultivation in 2000, the family decided to sit on their laurels for a while. They had built up quite some cash reserves, and that would last them through a few years. The hope was that the Taliban would lift the ban some day, and that would give the El-Fares family a road straight back into the trade. Instead of that, however, the Taliban was deposed in 2001 by an American invasion force. At first, the family was jubilant, and eagerly returned to the opium trade. However, they had mistaken the intention of the American invaders, who tried to stop the money supply to the Taliban by stemming the flow of opium. What followed was a campaign of destruction against opium farms, with US troops using explosives and flame throwers to burn down growing fields. On the 4th of March 2002 US troops torched the El-Fares fields and confiscated their cash reserves. Shapour’s older cousin was killed while trying to defend the farm.

This left the family destitute, with only the farmhouse to their name. Slowly but surely, more and more male family members started leaving. First cousins, then uncles. Then, his older brother went away. He was always told that they were ‘away to make some money’, and indeed, they managed to get bread on the table again. Sometimes they would enter into mourning, although Shapour didn’t quite understand why. He was fourteen when they first sat him down and told him about the ‘ten dollar Taliban’, where one could go to fight in return for some income. At first SHapour was shocked, but he was happy that at least they got some food in their mouths for the effort.

When Shapour was 17, however, hard at work in the cotton fields, he got word that his brother and one of his cousins had died during an American raid. This left him heartbroken, but also with a load of problems: suddenly, much of the income stream of the family had vanished. Against the protestations of his mother, Shapour disappeared one morning in order to sign up with the Taliban. First as a regular soldier guarding VIPs and such, but then in a more and more active role. Shapour became proficient particularly in explosives, for no other reason than that it provided him with the most income. He kind of rolled into it. At first, it was mostly about making homemade explosive material from fertiliser. Then, it was about rigging them to blow. Later, he was deployed to actually burry IEDs along roadways. And after that, he participated in rigging car bombs to get rid of high value targets. Every successful mission earned his family some more luxuries.

In 2015, however, he was captured while rigging a car to blow. He managed to lie his way through the interrogation claiming that he was only a recent conscript, and that he didn’t actually know what he was doing. With his credibility in place, Shapour was instead selected to become an interpreter for the US army, in return for protection of him and his family, and some income. It was more than the Taliban had been able to give him. Of course, it couldn’t last too long. In 2016, the Taliban managed to overrun US positions in Khanashin, torching the village and killing much of his family, displacing the few survivors. Later that year, the platoon Shapour was attached to hit an IED he didn’t manage to spot, and it was almost entirely wiped out. With his family almost entirely gone, and with his dreams haunted by the boom that killed his platoon, Shapour applied for US asylum as a former translator, under the new identity of Jake Kirby.

Once in the US, Shapour found out he barely had any marketable skills to use in a market economy. He spoke English, but most of his experience was in opium farming, cotton farming, and mostly in bomb dismantling. He tried to get a job in demolition, but he could hardly mention that his experience was with IEDs with the Taliban. So, after a while of scourging the country for work, he applied with the CIA. He admitted his past, took a polygraph to show that he was not some Taliban sleeper agent, passed a bomb disposal test with flying colours, and was admitted to the CIA as a domestic translator of documents. This, of course, until the CIA needed someone they could distance themselves from in order to operate in a covert op in the pacific. Someone with explosive knowledge, especially when dealing with IEDs and non-state actors. So, in the end, Shapour was transferred again, this time to serve for the CIA in an active combat role.

•Personality Description: Shapour has a ‘get-it-done’ attitude. When given a task, he will perform it to the best of his ability. He lives from assignment to assignment, not really having a goal in mind for his life. He knows that he one day wants to return to Afghanistan when it is safe, and look for his family there. But he also fears going back, as if being away from the country means that his family is still alive somehow. He has, however, acquired a taste for American culture. Mostly for romcoms and baseball. He is not very good at making friends, and doesn’t have many outside the American-Afghan community, mostly for fear of losing them all again. He carries with him

•Notable Skills:
[*] Bomb disposal
[*] Explosive demolition
[*] Booby trap expert
[*] Improvised Explosive Device fabricator

•Likes: Farming, working with his hands, romantic comedies, darts, small electronics

•Dislikes: The US army, road trips, US immigration services, the Taliban

•Character Full Name: Edward Piedmont

•Codename: "Sardinia"

•Gender: M

•Age: 32

•Physical Appearance:

•Race/Ethnicity: Caucasion

•Voice: John Doman

•Height: 6'1"

•Short Biography:

From an early age, Edward was not one to be turned off by a challenge. When his parents put him in a crib, he tried to escape until he could successfully and reliably climb over the fence. When he was in school, he was never a loud child. Instead, he diligently did his work and then some. When he got hit by a foul tackle in the 9th grade and broke his leg in 12 different places, he still did not give up. Piedmont carried on with his physical rehabilitation, and despite the doctors' expectations, walked out of the hospital four months later.

He volunteered for the military before he left high school, and fought in Iraq when he was 17. He was looking to go to college for free after he went home, and he wasn't looking to be in the military longer than he had to. But when he was 18, his platoon was ambushed by enemies, and their Humvee destroyed by an RPG-7 to the bottom, rolling it into a nearby ditch dug out for that exact purpose. They fought to the last man, Edward, who didn't give up. He reportedly killed around 20 of the assailants before being hit in the head by a stray friendly bullet shot by reinforcements just arriving. While in the hospital, he was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross, and, when he recovered, recruited by the Rangers. No notable events occurred during this time, until he was then recruited by the Delta Force. There, he showed his talents as a field agent by setting up and subsequently enacting an assassination against an Iraqi general, who was reported as being one of the most paranoid men in Iraq, and had a security force that proved it.

Once he finished his service to the Delta Force, at age 28, he was recruited by the CIA as a field agent. Though new to the scene, he was nevertheless prepared for their missions. Bug planting here, sabotage there, nothing he hadn't done before. Until at age 32, he got the call for another major assignment. One where he has to assassinate not one, but four different enemies. Not one to turn down a challenge, he got to work preparing himself for the task at hand. Those bastards will pay.

•Personality Description: Charismatic, if not slightly off-putting, warm to enemies, warmer to friends, doesn't know when to give up.

•Notable Skills: Hand-to-hand combat, subterfuge, survival, can talk his way out of sticky situations

•Likes: Peace and quiet, a good book, Dominican cigars

•Dislikes: Dogs, explosives, enemies of America

•Codename: "Sardinia"

•Gender: M

•Age: 32

•Physical Appearance:
(Image)

•Race/Ethnicity: Caucasion

•Voice: John Doman

•Height: 6'1"

•Short Biography:

From an early age, Edward was not one to be turned off by a challenge. When his parents put him in a crib, he tried to escape until he could successfully and reliably climb over the fence. When he was in school, he was never a loud child. Instead, he diligently did his work and then some. When he got hit by a foul tackle in the 9th grade and broke his leg in 12 different places, he still did not give up. Piedmont carried on with his physical rehabilitation, and despite the doctors' expectations, walked out of the hospital four months later.

He volunteered for the military before he left high school, and fought in Iraq when he was 17. He was looking to go to college for free after he went home, and he wasn't looking to be in the military longer than he had to. But when he was 18, his platoon was ambushed by enemies, and their Humvee destroyed by an RPG-7 to the bottom, rolling it into a nearby ditch dug out for that exact purpose. They fought to the last man, Edward, who didn't give up. He reportedly killed around 20 of the assailants before being hit in the head by a stray friendly bullet shot by reinforcements just arriving. While in the hospital, he was awarded a Distinguished Service Cross, and, when he recovered, recruited by the Rangers. No notable events occurred during this time, until he was then recruited by the Delta Force. There, he showed his talents as a field agent by setting up and subsequently enacting an assassination against an Iraqi general, who was reported as being one of the most paranoid men in Iraq, and had a security force that proved it.

Once he finished his service to the Delta Force, at age 28, he was recruited by the CIA as a field agent. Though new to the scene, he was nevertheless prepared for their missions. Bug planting here, sabotage there, nothing he hadn't done before. Until at age 32, he got the call for another major assignment. One where he has to assassinate not one, but four different enemies. Not one to turn down a challenge, he got to work preparing himself for the task at hand. Those bastards will pay.

•Personality Description: Charismatic, if not slightly off-putting, warm to enemies, warmer to friends, doesn't know when to give up.

•Notable Skills: Hand-to-hand combat, subterfuge, survival, can talk his way out of sticky situations

•Likes: Peace and quiet, a good book, Dominican cigars

•Dislikes: Dogs, explosives, enemies of America

Accepted.

•Character Full Name: cover name: John Smith, real
name: Albert Scott ( Alb for friends )

•Codename: Fire Ant

•Gender: M

•Age: 35

•Physical Appearance: https://randomuser.me/api/portraits/men/81.jpg

•Race/Ethnicity: Caucasian/Anglo

•Voice: Whoever was the voice actor of Deacon from Days Gone

•Height: 6’

•Short Biography:
Born in Edinburgh Scotland in 1984 he had a fairly normal life, one of the major points of his life was the announcement of the removal of one of the spots he and his friends considered as, better, he decided to do something about it. He protested a bit but it didn't change anything, except Albert's character, he decided that starting such a thing for a good cause is worth more than safety. After he reached his teens he started to develop a habit of excessively cleaning his room, in the same age he started to read Sci-Fi novels from around the world.

He would go on to study coding, programming, and other computer related stuff, he graduated at the age of 26. As he grew older and older he was more and more displeased with the British government and joined a local hacker group where it quite showed the range of his abilities in computer skills. Even though he hoped that the group would focus on trying to change their country, some of them focused on things that quickly made the group a target for authorities.

Just two years ago the group was disbanded, the members that were the biggest targets from the group were quickly arrested. Albert wasn't arrested and managed to travel to the US ( although he wasn't abiding by the law very strictly, he wasn't a full-blown outlaw ). He managed to get the status of immigrant and then a citizen ( very quickly for some reason... Heh... You probably already deduced what he did at the time ). After some time he was approached by some government people with an offer of him becoming a hacker for them ( believe or not, most hackers work for governments ), he accepted. After some time there he was selected to provide support in Papua New Guinea as member of the team sent to eliminate the leaders of the Syndicate.

Here’s my idea; I finish my app today, and then boot up the IC either tonight or tomorrow. I know we’re also waiting on Das Redner and Cylarn. If he hasn’t shown by tomorrow morning I’ll discount them.
