Name of Nation: The Greater Island Kingdom of New Hayesalia
Name of Organization: New Hayesalian Military
Name of Unit: BASTION (full title Battlefield Assault, Strategic, Tactical & Innovative Operations Node)
Detailed Unit Loadout: All soldiers are equipped with the full Individual Soldier Ensemble
Appearance/Description of Operator: Reference the above link, with this camouflage pattern as standard.
Biography of Unit: New Hayesalia has an extensive history of special forces utilisation. The Hayesalian Union constituted it's first special forces unit in 1896, used in an early direct action and sabotage role. Famous for their use of camouflage and stealth smocks as well as light body armour, the Pathfinders formed the cutting edge of the Union Army. In a battle overseas, a major enemy force of over 10,000 troops were set in a thick line in seige against an allied cities. The war was one stooped in religious woes. An allied force of only 1,200 soldiers was available, including a company of 100 Pathfinders. On a moonless night, the Pathfinders donned their camouflage smocks and conducted a psychological warfare operation. Three temples formed tributes to the enemy's deity had been established and were generally guarded by four soldiers standing in catafalque.
The Pathfinders were forced to crawl through no mans land, under cover of darkness, and were able to kill each of the guards silently. The enemy's religious text stated that temples in war were to be protected and could turn the tide of battle; and that if any attack was doomed to incredible failure the gods themselves would remove the headpieces of the temples. It also explained in graphic detail the injuries that would be sustained by those who watched such a divine act- which the Pathfinders replicated. The Pathfinders then exited, and made their way safely back to their lines.
Word quickly spread between the enemy troops the following morning of the so called divine intervention, and many troops refused to make advances. Eventually forced to by their officers, many lost motivation and unit cohesion and fell to the smaller allied force.
The troops live much in the same way as the rest of the troops, with regular weekend and holiday passes and with a raucous barracks life, although tough stealth training was a regular occurrence. The unit was reformed as the Commandos in 1959, although many Pathfinders became early members of the Special Reconnaissance Service, the Union Army's new Tier 1 force. A history of operations in small wars gave rise to the fame of the SRS. As more special forces units were established, such as the Army Pararescue and the RCTRG, the Commando Divisions became a way for excellent soldiers to be chosen for trainign to become elite soldiers. This multiple layered approach was critical in finding New Hayesalia's best fighters.
The New Hayesalian Army was formed as a new force from the Hayesalian Union Army in the 2009 Amalgamation. The pool of candidates was further enhanced with the Second Amalgamation with Montmaray, with the elite Royal Montmarian Guard contributing troops with expertise in CQB and close protection duties. However, at this point New Hayesalia was operating over a dozen Tier 1 units with a variety of skills. This situation was rectified with the reclassification of all special forces to the second and third tier, and creating a new Tier 1 force, recruiting only the elite of the elite. With nine combat-classified divisions of approximately 120 operators each, the new Battlefield Assault, Strategic, Tactical & Innovative Operations Node became the upper level of performance for any soldier's career. BASTION operators come from all services, and must be capable of performing the specialist duties of other SF units.
BASTION Entry Training is an eight-week course, where mind and body are tested to absolute limits. Candidates are expected to be able to learn anything and remember it well, as well as be able to apply it. In training, textbooks on subjects ranging from nuclear weapons to foreign small arms are issued, the knowledge practically applied in training perhaps hours later. This is in addition to other training, where food and sleep is little and far between, and candidates have no expectations of what will come next. Training is entirely practical in nature: candidates are expected to be fit enough to perform the training with no PT. Training takes place in locations all around New Hayesalia and Paddy O Fernature, from the alpine mountains of Piltomana to the deserts of Quepasa. OPFOR, usually made up of current BASTION soldiers, is often present.
By the end of the course and the following year long extended training, expertise will be held in all aspects of soldiering. All BASTION soldiers will possess expert knowledge in:
-hand to hand fighting, usually in Krav Magra and Judo techniques.
-service and use all New Hayesalian small arms and crew served weapons,
-tactics in all roles of soldiering,
-use and disabling of explosives,
-all insertion methods,
-medical skills comparable to regular Military medics (BASTION medics will hold skills comparable to emergency room personnel and surgeons),
-foreign equipment,
-high skills in driving light transport and all civilian vehicles,
-basic operation of mainline artillery pieces,
-basic understanding of how to fly civilian and some military aircraft,
-at least one language other than English,
-some electronic warfare,
-sabotage,
-personal health and fitness maintenance.
While the size of BASTION remains secret, it is believed to number around 1500 members at any time, split into 13 front line companies, with an additional HQ and training companies; and with support coming from outside detachments. These companies, called Divisions, have a non-standard numbering system which is not known to the general public. Having authorised a small detachment of it's forces to the Atlas program, the 14th Division of BASTION has been authorised to make it's basic information available to the coalition members.
Amongst Tier One, 14 Div BASTION are the experts.
It should be noted that while BASTION members tend to have lower ranks - the top ranked BASTION member is a Colonel - this is considered temporary, with members accepting temporary "field demotions" from ranks like Staff Sergeant, Sergeant, Senior Aircraftsman, and so on for administration purposes. They are often promoted on top of their previous rank after leaving the unit.
Operators of the Unit:
While a typical New Hayesalian infantry platoon numbers 25, BASTION's deployment of 10 operators has seen a slight shifting of the usual roles. Rank insignia can be viewed here. See next spoiler.
RP Example: Previous member of ATLAS
Tech Era: MT, but with research projects and passion projects actually followed through and synergised

Birthplace: Quaidyn Island, Itica, NH
Biographical Information: Corporal U is a BASTION veteran, with three years service in the unit's unconventional warfare specialist 8 Division. With knowledge of multiple languages and a near encyclopedic knowledge of foreign affairs and cultures, U is a smartass that can justify himself. His intuition is second to none, and his ability as a special forces grenadier is spectacular. He has taken on the additional duties of the signaller, a rite of passage for an NCO seeking the eventual command of a BASTION platoon.
Training: Standard BASTION training, with additional Junior Leaders Course and Special Forces Signals and Electronic Warfare Course training.

Birthplace: Zymque, Capital Province, NH
Biographical Information: MARP "H "is famous in Marine circles. Reputed to have swum from the city of Tagrem to Saman in one cool morning in his combat uniform for no reason other than to meet a woman he'd met the day before, and returning in the same manner by the afternoon for his duty shift aboard the Slaver's Lament, his endurance is legendary. As well as serving aboard submarines in their Marine Recon Companies- the equivalent to the Army's Commandos- his entry to the SRS is nothing short of exceptional. In one 20km pack march with 20kg additional rucksack weight, candidates must cross the finish line within 3 hours and 15 minutes. MARP H did it in 2 hours, 20 minutes, returning to find the directing staff watching Finding Nemo. His career in the SRS was immediately successful, and joining BASTION was a natural extension of his abilities.
Psychological Profile: "I'll get it done."
Training: A qualified special forces sniper, as well as a competitor in the National Skill at Arms Meeting.

Biographical Information: Not a lot of men can deal with long patrols and combat missions in MOPP 4 chemical warfare suits. Fewer still can do it in the combat load of a machine gunner. Lance Corporal R couldn't imagine doing anything else. The CBRN-U is responsible with combating serious threats in CBRN environments- this means finding and fighting the enemy, even when they use lethal gas to protect their positions. Their unique abilities mean standouts are sought-after by the BASTION staff- Lance Corporal R was one of them. In a short career at BASTION, he has proven himself an expert in all forms of warfighting.

Biographical Information: CPO F, one of the NH Navy's elite clearance divers, has over 10 years in special forces experience. Having graduated the Commando Course, like all SF operators, F went onto the Navy's frogman teams, partaking in missions such as Operation Cutthroat Snake, which involved paddling against strong river currents in the Missourian Conflict and destroying a majority of their brownwater fleet in the early stages of the war. Going onto the Recapture Tactics Team, designed to test the security measures of NH Military bases at the serious threat of injury or death, CPO F applied for and passed BASTION initial training, showing considerable leadership potential in five years in the 8th Division, focused on amphibious roles. He was selected for BASTION's 14th Division due to his exceptional performance, and promoted to command a weapons section.

Role: Sharpshooter
Age: 36
Height: 175cm
Weight: 81kg
Birthplace: Enthftai, Montmaray, NH
Biographical Information: The skills required of a sniper in the Royal Montmarian Guard are best compared to the goalkeeper in a number one football team. As a member of the Revnami Garrison of the Royal Montmarian Guard in the Counter-Assault Team, Guards Corporal K was responsible for the safety of figures such as the Deputy Prime Minister and visiting foreign dignitaries in the New Hayesalian capital city. In the CAT team he operated as a counter-sniper, requiring the highest level of precision. As a member of the historic and elite Veil Guard, RMG members are responsible only for protecting the Monarch, the Prime Minister and major visiting foreign dignitaries. Guards Corporal K history as an elite sniper gave rise to trial for the BASTION, and after two bites at the entry testing, he succeeded and became a BASTION sharpshooter.

Biographical Information: Born in the mountainous and rifle-loving nation of Paddy O Fernature to New Hayesalian paretns, this former member of the Mountain Legion is experienced in warfare more often vertical than horizontal. LCPL O is one of BASTION's experts on the subject of mountain and arctic warfare. As the squads rocketman he faces off against tanks and armoured vehicles without hesitation- a statement of fact, tested in actual combat. He is also resposible for the 60mm Commando Mortar which replaces it, if it is deemed the tactical choice.
Psychological Profile: A sniper with a one metre area for error.
Training: Special Forces Mortars and Special Forces Rocketeering
Notable Experience: Atlas Missions, Al-Khalifiyah, Zellatia II

Weight: 74kg
Birthplace: Revnami, Capital Province, NH
Biographical Information: The squad's only Air Force member, and one of BASTION's first female operators, has her own strong history in the Air Force's special operations community. While most of that community is aircrew, some specialised members occupy the ranks of the Army-administered 100th Special Operations Legion. This includes the Air Force's Combat Controller squadrons. Without the CCTs, enemy airfields are about as useful as clean highways - with CCTs, they can become hubs for effective air operations. Trained to follow and fight with Commandos, and call in air strikes to assist them, some CCTs ascend even higher to fight with units like the SRS or joint service units, like CIGU or the SRS. For LAC D, a career in EOD made sense- somehow- and she joined their unit, emerging as an unlikely star in training. After proving herself at 1 Div, BASTION, she is the squad's explosives expert charged with both clearing the way and destroying enemy equipment.
Psychological Profile: Utter focus and utter determination

In one 20km pack march with 20kg additional rucksack weight, candidates must cross the finish line within 3 hours and 15 minutes. MARP H did it in 2 hours, 20 minutes, returning to find the directing staff watching Finding Nemo. His career in the SRS was immediately successful, and joining BASTION was a natural extension of his abilities.

Role: Autorifleman
Age: 40
Height: 174cm
Weight: 82kg
Birthplace: Totedi, Retalimora, NH
Biographical Information: Not a lot of men can deal with long patrols and combat missions in MOPP 4 chemical warfare suits. Fewer still can do it in the combat load of a machine gunner. Lance Corporal R couldn't imagine doing anything else. The CBRN-U is responsible with combating serious threats in CBRN environments- this means finding and fighting the enemy, even when they use lethal gas to protect their positions. Their unique abilities mean standouts are sought-after by the BASTION staff- Lance Corporal R was one of them. In a short career at BASTION, he has proven himself an expert in all forms of warfighting.

Role: Sharpshooter
Age: 36
Height: 175cm
Weight: 81kg
Birthplace: Enthftai, Montmaray, NH
Biographical Information: The skills required of a sniper in the Royal Montmarian Guard are best compared to the goalkeeper in a number one football team. As a member of the Revnami Garrison of the Royal Montmarian Guard in the Counter-Assault Team, Guards Corporal K was responsible for the safety of figures such as the Deputy Prime Minister and visiting foreign dignitaries in the New Hayesalian capital city. In the CAT team he operated as a counter-sniper, requiring the highest level of precision. As a member of the historic and elite Veil Guard, RMG members are responsible only for protecting the Monarch, the Prime Minister and major visiting foreign dignitaries. Guards Corporal K history as an elite sniper gave rise to trial for the BASTION, and after two bites at the entry testing, he succeeded and became a BASTION sharpshooter.

Weight: 90kg
Birthplace: New Galway, Paddy O Fernature
Biographical Information: Born in the mountainous and rifle-loving nation of Paddy O Fernature to New Hayesalian paretns, this former member of the Mountain Legion is experienced in warfare more often vertical than horizontal. LCPL O is one of BASTION's experts on the subject of mountain and arctic warfare. As the squads rocketman he faces off against tanks and armoured vehicles without hesitation- a statement of fact, tested in actual combat. He is also resposible for the 60mm Commando Mortar which replaces it, if it is deemed the tactical choice.
Psychological Profile: A sniper with a one metre area for error.
Training: Special Forces Mortars and Special Forces Rocketeering
Notable Experience: Atlas Missions, Al-Khalifiyah, Zellatia II

Role: Demolitions Specialist
Age: 29
Height: 170cm
Weight: 74kg
Birthplace: Revnami, Capital Province, NH
Biographical Information: The squad's only Air Force member, and one of BASTION's first female operators, has her own strong history in the Air Force's special operations community. While most of that community is aircrew, some specialised members occupy the ranks of the Army-administered 100th Special Operations Legion. This includes the Air Force's Combat Controller squadrons. Without the CCTs, enemy airfields are about as useful as clean highways - with CCTs, they can become hubs for effective air operations. Trained to follow and fight with Commandos, and call in air strikes to assist them, some CCTs ascend even higher to fight with units like the SRS or joint service units, like CIGU or the SRS. For LAC D, a career in EOD made sense- somehow- and she joined their unit, emerging as an unlikely star in training. After proving herself at 1 Div, BASTION, she is the squad's explosives expert charged with both clearing the way and destroying enemy equipment.
Psychological Profile: Utter focus and utter determination
Training: Specialist air control and joint fires observation training
Notable Experience: Al-Khalifiyah, Zellatia I and II
Typical Loadout: Ripper Mk3 and explosives/EOD equipment.

Appearance/Description of Operator:
(SPECTRA 'Kite BDU')
(MIAHS-SAG BDU)
Biography of Unit: Created after the second Anowan Civil War of 1962 to quell 'insurrectionist' ideals before they had a chance to mothball into a credible threat. After the eventual overthrowing of King Decius II, his tools of tyranny were shelved for almost two decades, becoming less of an elite force and more of a dumping grounds for soldiers who wouldn't fit anywhere else. It wasn't until the 2006 Sarin Gas Attacks on the nation's capital of Terrenus that the unit re-distinguished itself by repelling an attack on the capital district.
Afterwards the unit no longer had the reputation of a bunch of well supervised prisoners and horrendous soldiers, instead they became an elite fighting force yet again. In recent times they have helped in accelerated hostage negotiations and embassy rescues the world over and have finally shed the dark past of dictatorial tools. The outfit recruits from all four branches of the Military (Army, Navy, Air Force, Royal Guard)
Due to MILCOM requests for modularity in the unit, general weapons and equipment will vary between squads. As well as general demeanor and tactics. Though the latter are usually shared across all teams on their downtime, teams will usually stick with what they do best.
UPDATE: Due to the disastrous loss of life following SPECTRA's participation in Task Force Atlas, both teams that participated have been merged into one -barring casualties- with an additional MIAHS-SAG Handler. In an event to prevent further deaths due to the incompetence of other operators.
UPDATE II: Following the revival of TFA, a squad of SPECTRA was deemed 'Utmost Clandestine'. They no longer exist in any official capacity. Leading to a few confusing circumstances resulting in LC Rivera's disappearance.
Operators of the Unit:
- Lieutenant Colonel Casey "The Iron Maiden" Rivera: Casey Rivera is technically eighteenth in line of succession. A collection of parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, and siblings are all that stand in her way. Despite being one of six members of the Royal Family to have actual military training, she doesn't feel like overthrowing anything. Seemingly content to protect her nation from where she's at.
She signed on to the Anowan Navy's Marine forces, commissioned as a Lieutenant. However, due to her leadership abilities and her family's political pull she rose to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel within six years. Eventually she was plopped smack dab into SPECTRA, her first words to her subordinate dubbed him 'Baby Face'. The man actually smiled instead of pulling a gun. The two would be the only rock steady members of the squad, everyone else either transferred, died or was medically discharged.
Like most other members of the Royal family, she has a mild myostatin hormone inhibition, so despite her size she weighs a sizable amount more than one would expect. At 30 her size is clinically average at 5'9 and 213 pounds. She seemingly has no fear of death, and her confidence under fire translates over into the unit she's leading. Her nickname comes from her attitude, it's one of a person who shows no real attachment to her fellow team mates, this is understandable due to the amount of losses she's experienced under her command, both by death or otherwise. It's further compounded by several incidents in her childhood in which 'friends' only used her for her status as a Royal. A patch of Iron Maiden coffin is stitched onto her BDU's left shoulder.- Captain Jeremy "Baby Face" Black: If there was ever a man you could confidently say was made of iron, it would be Jeremy Black. At the time of his arrest it was unknown that Jeremy was a Headhunter, one of the dozen or so Black Ops assassins Anowa had during the '90s, and that he was ordered to kill the Minster of Health under suspicion of corruption. His career in SPECTRA began back when it was technically a penal battalion in the armed forces. He was permanently transferred under Royal decree for shooting the previous Minister of Public Health in the center of a crowd. After that event he was nearly executed, however a sudden intervention from the Minister of Defense proved to be a Deus ex Machina to Mr. Black.
He was assigned to SPECTRA Squad A, and sent on an operation to destroy a shoddy napalm plant run by Radical Fascist revolutionaries. Not only did he drag himself to the extraction point, but he did so with second and third degree burns, and a sub-caliber bullet wound to the head. He passed out, and he woke from a three month coma to the revelation that SPECTRA was no longer a breeding ground for criminals. Though he was still stuck in his position via an irreversible decree.
Jeremy is remarkably average in size, and at 36 being 6'11/2 and 187 pounds, he's still healthy. He shows signs of emotional detachment, though not quite with his team. He remains silent in their presence, only really speaking during combat or when necessary. His uniform is distinct via the cosmetic pattern upon his helmet's visor, giving the appearance of shattered glass... coincidentally it originates over his forehead's bullet scar.- Warrant Officer Norman "Ghost" Grey: Norman is not someone with much knowledge of the word 'family', at least not in the traditional sense. Orphaned at birth, Norman was not too different from his peers like all children his military based learning began at age 12 and ran until he reached the age of 16, at which point he became a member of the military itself. Except instead of being just average he seemed to excel in marksmanship exercises as well as escape and evade techniques. So he was transferred into the 22nd Airborne Recon Division as a scout-sniper. A role that suited well to his smaller frame at 5’10 and 178 pounds.
He distinguished himself at the Royal 50 Competition, where the nation’s top 50 marksmen and women come together to see once and for all who is the best. Not only did Norman get the fancy gold threaded tab, but he also managed to break several records. It wasn’t too long after that he signed on with SPECTRA. His cold exterior melting into a somewhat amiable man around the rest of his squad. Though he’s still somewhat quiet, odd for a 30 year old man.- Holly "Pixy" Whitman Pixy, an apt name given the woman’s facial features. Holly was born in a rather affluent family, and in Anowa that meant she was an air force brat through and through. Both her mother and father were members of air force personnel, her father being a F-15E technician while her mother usually piloted the craft. As such she spent an obscene amount of time moving about as the RAAF reorganized and scuttled certain units.
Despite the obvious handicap in learning, her parents filled the gaps she was missing, and she became a member of the Anowan Forward Air Corps, acting as the director for air strikes and air traffic control in combat zones. After action in Anowa’s southern protectorates the 5’3, 142 pound woman signed on with SPECTRA hoping for a more direct route in her career.
A rampant optimist, Holly never seems to be discouraged or dissuaded from most courses of action no matter how overwhelming or stacked the odds may be, either bravery or sheer stubbornness have kept her alive thus far, putting her nearly on the same level as Schmuckatelli.
- Warrant Officer Moses "Holy Man" Lawson: One word to describe Moses is big. at 6'9 and a little over 270 pounds he just barely scraped within enlistment restrictions. His Military career started with the Anowan Air Force's D-17, and despite the unit's reputation as merciless killers, Moses is a kind worded, heavily religious, gentle giant. Given his size this can be seen as a -sometimes literal- God send by his superiors.
During a rather nasty engagement in a jungle environment, the Blackhawk his squad was in crashed due to MANPAD related damages. Moses and two others were the only ones out of nine person crew still capable of walking. Their radios couldn't transmit the distance between their crash site and a friendly firebase, and hostiles were obviously closing in. Moses took a mighty risk, he got his team to leave a bulk of their ammo behind to use in aiding their escape north, and Moses remained behind.
After three days the eight crewmen made it back. Moses' MIA form never got off the base, because he wandered out of the foliage a day after, out of ammo, bullets pocking his armor, his exoskeleton's battery failing, and mildly dehydrated. For his actions he received the Star of Athena, Anowa's third highest military decoration.
MILCOM brass decided that Moses was too good of a soldier to be stuck in a dead end unit such as D-17, and he was subsequently transferred to SPECTRA's A1 squad.
- Warrant Officer Anna “Amazon” Durand The nickname of ‘Amazon’ is not an unwarranted one. Standing at 6’5 and weighing 213 pounds, it’s not uncommon for her to either be misrecognized as a man while in uniform or as Moses’ biological sister.
Born in a coastal farm near Paradiso, Anna spent nearly her whole life watching the news and aftermath of nearby military experiments before local news did. She was among the first people to see the technology demonstrator aircraft the RAAF made, and was the first to encounter networking issues when the government started researching sentient AI. A few joke that the local groundwater had some form of chemical to grow her to such a degree, but they’re usually meant in a light hearted way.
Anna’s prior service was as average as one could get, simply an infantry grunt, she spent more time sitting around than actually fighting, as such she tried out for SPECTRA less than a year after signing on with her infantry unit.
Amiable, cheerful, and fiercely loyal to members of her squad, her attempt to get fellow soldiers out of danger has nearly ended her life several times. However a sense of bravado and her gung-ho attitude usually put her at ends with the senior members of her squad. Nevertheless, she has bonded well with the rest of the team.
- Warrant Officer Urban "Godfather" Chakwas: Urban has done more amputations and applied more tourniquets than he cares to admit. He's not a large man at 5'7 and 172 pounds, and at 41 he's far from peak condition. But his ability to stay rock solid in the most dire of situations, and still get those under his care to pull through has gotten him a fair number of decorations, and an even higher number of children named after him. So many so that he received his nickname as a wordplay on his protective nature, and the fact he probably has legal rights to receive a portion of said children's taxes.
Urban isn't one to shy away from social interaction, though once in the field the father like figure at base is replaced with an emotionless mask, focused solely on getting his people out alive whether they be under their own power or not. Back home he's managed to get a medical degree, three kids of his own and a wife, and is thinking of becoming a general surgeon once he retires from SPECTRA. He's a family man, and when his unit is on leave they basically become an extended part of his family. He can be denoted in combat by the crisp red cross on his backpack, carrying his medical supplies.
- Warrant Officer David Kowalski Jr. Stoic, unflinching and robotic are all words that describe Kowalski, the son of a rather decorated Naval Marine, David has never been one to talk much. The adage of ‘actions speak louder than words’ stick well to the man. Speaking only when needed and using simple gestures otherwise.
The 6’0, 196 pound man spent most of his life in coastal cities as his father floated to and from, eventually David too joined the Naval Marines, coincidentally in the same unit that Rivera served in, though in different sub-units. Eventually he wanted to take a more direct role in his nation’s defense and enlisted in SPECTRA.
- Warrant Officer Guillermo "G" Cortez:G is a the stereotypically silent, mustachioed, Latino usually found in blockbuster movies. The fact that he looks like an old school action star doesn't help either. G is a first generation immigrant, having grown up in Baja. Seeking to gain new opportunities and help people he traveled to Anowa, and finished it's foreign citizenship program with flying colors. While G had never been a military man prior to his move, he became enamored with tales of espirit de corps of the locally stationed soldiers. So he signed up in Anowa's 2nd Foreign Legion. He was enlisted with a group of massive Nords, his 6'0, 200 pound frame nowhere near close to that of the vikings he was fighting alongside. Having a small verbal understanding of English he didn't speak all that much, though he could listen with better attention than a native speaker.
His mettle was tested on evening as Fascist radicals assaulted the barracks he and his platoon were stationed at, the armory was seized in the first few minutes of the attack, and all they had was the Bowie Knife they were using for five finger fillet... To make a short story shorter, the attack was repelled for the most part, with only six casualties. Soon after Guillermo transferred to SPECTRA, simply because he figured there was nothing better to do.
- Warrant Officer Alexander "Lazy" Cross: Alexander was born in a very remote area of the country, as such he received no formal education outside that of his parents and a few of his neighbors. It wasn’t until he reached 12 that he was legally required to attend school, so he was sent to Terrenus Military Academy. At the academy he was a lackluster student, even to the point of dropping out at 14, before once again being legally pushed into something he didn’t want.
He became a member of a weapons squad in the 132nd Mechanized Infantry Battalion, serving as an assaultman trained with the M3 Gustaf system, his average size of 5’11 and 178 pounds making it an easy system to operate. Eventually his aversion to military life turned over, and he simply became indifferent. Simply waiting for the 5 year mandatory stint to be over and then getting a slow job somewhere in the country. That was until the civil war rolled around, and once again he was pressed into a situation he didn’t like. With numbers in certain units having dropped drastically, and a number of people dead, Alexander found a new vigor in his current career, and signed on with SPECTRA. Meeting new people and then killing them. He denotes himself by an OD green smiley face stitched to the front of his plate carrier.
- Warrant Officer Robert 'Bob' "Lucky" Shmuckatelli:Robert's life is a collection of dumb luck, blind leaps, and retarded fucking chances. For instance: He was only transferred to SPECTRA because of a typo, the only reason he's still here is because that luck seems to keep him and his team alive. His last platoon was annihilated via mortar barrage, him being the only survivor and surrounded by dud ordinance. He was picked up by a whirly bird and shipped home. The fact that he somehow managed to avoid contracting PTSD from the event is a miracle. He's not the biggest, but he is average military size at 5'11 and 181 pounds, being only 19 he's not the most experienced though.
Robert was initially going to be transferred to the 11th Shock Battalion, but due to a clerical error he was sent to SPECTRA's A1 instead. And due to protocol he was promoted from Private to Warrant Officer. Once the Ministry of Defense caught the mistake, the team was already deployed. After a brief firefight with jihadist forces in the Levant region they were recalled; and after a brief report by LtCol. Rivera and Cpt. Black depicting Robert's skill with the XM-25 as 'unparalleled', he got to stay after a brief skill assessment and reports from the rest of the team...
...Also a few favors that Rivera had in stock.
In truth, Robert only toppled that skyscraper accidentally, though he kept that secret to himself. Robert began his tenure as Tier 1 with hesitation, but over the two years he's been in the squad, he's grown to be actually competent. With the aid of his team he might actually make the cut legitimately should he ever get the chance to. Despite being absolute trash at poker he carries a deck of cards around, and he carved a shamrock on the bottom of his boots, leaving his luck wherever he wanders.
- Agent Ingrid"Lime"Hargrove:Born in Terrenus, Anowa, officially, Ingrid died in a car crash with both of her parents at the age of four, on March 22nd 2003. She was buried in Terrenus’ Child Cemetery, roughly 500 meters from Onyx Fields Military Cemetery and less than 400 meters from the Royal Palace itself. Her grave is a 3x2’ onyx headstone.
In reality however, Ingrid was kidnapped after said car crash and replaced with the mangled body of a similarly sized child. Both herself and thirty other children were kidnapped in a single night. Falsified records by the MIAHS kept her real life a secret, from 4 to 14 Ingrid was trained as a Tier One soldier, half science experiment and half child soldier, Ingrid’s life has been nothing but ‘Yes, Sir. No, Sir.’, collective punishment, and excruciating physical and mental pain. But eventually she got over it, her mind became a casing of robotic fortitude, now all she does is follow orders, kill, and occasionally relax.Any other military unit would discharge her for such psychopathic tendencies, but for the MIAHS, she’s exactly what they want. A questionless soldier. Fitting in at 5’7 and 157 pounds, hormone and protein supplements during puberty have pushed her slightly above average physical capabilities, and her eyes tell a story of unimaginable pain.

Task Force Atlas Personnel File
Name: Lieutenant Colonel Jack Rogers
Alias: Jolly
Unit: Sentinels, 1st Battalion
Role: Task Force Atlas Commanding Officer
Age: 54
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 185lbs
Birthplace: Twin Falls, URA
Biographical Information: Born to a military family, Rogers excelled in school, especially in history and English. Rogers followed in his father's footsteps after graduation by joining the Remnant Army, where he saw action through the Parkerian Wars. His actions throughout these drew attention from the then-Remnant Rangers, which he joined. As a Ranger, he saw action in both the Demmosian Civil War and the Caxan Civil War as well as several other actions before being transferred to leadership role in a Ranger Special Operations Squad and being moved to Task Force Atlas. Within Task Force Atlas, Rogers rose to a leadership position, first as a field commander for operations, and then as the commanding officer of the unit. Since the official disbanding of Task Force Atlas, Rogers went to a "chair force" position within the Remnant Operational Command, the unified command of the URA's special operation forces. In total, Rogers has more than thirty years' total in the military. Jolly even taught for a time at the Augustus Raedler Escol de Speziala Opershaftsa in Neu Engollon. Despite Jolly's official position in the Remnant Operational Command, he has an unofficial posting as a sort of caretaker for an undisclosed location that acts as sort of an info dump as well as a holding area for SALI.
Psychological Profile: Rogers has a rather sour look on life after such a long military career. His outward manner is invariably gruff and pessimistic, however this does not detract from his work ethic, in which Rogers has an almost obsessive zeal in seeing a mission completed, despite his negative comments throughout the mission. Rogers is aware of the mortal risks of combat, and has become desensitized to the potential of his death or others' deaths. Due to this, he has a willingness to make potentially life-threatening decisions for the good of the mission's success.
Training: Wolf Scouts, Remnant Army Basic Training, Remnant Army Officer Training, Remnant Ranger Training, Close-Combat Training,
Notable Experience: Deemosian Civil War, Caxan Civil War, Remnant-Korean War, Taught at a Special Forces School, Task Force Atlas Veteran
Typical Loadout: LPA2 Personnel Armor, R18 Assault Rifle, M23-45 Pistol, R3 Combat Knife, 2 Mark 5 Multi-Purpose Grenades, R1P Sensor Grenade
Theme Song: American Bad Ass - Kid Rock
Notes: There is a possibility that Lt. Col. Rogers suffers from PTSD and compensates with alcoholic binges. Psychological profile suggests that Rogers has an obsession with success. None of this has so far detracted from his exemplary service and leadership.

No extension needed, the things that I'll put would just be for flavor.

Name: Kord Wilhelm Markov
Alias: Willy (nickname)
Unit: Mosconderlin Guards
Role: Sniper, Counter-Sniper for the MG (Mosconderlin Guards)
Age: 30
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 165 pounds
Birthplace: Born in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, GER
Biographical Information: Born in Newcastle, moved to Hamburg, and then settled in Novosibirsk. He grew up listening to war stories, and aspired to become a soldier for GER. He took intro level rifle courses, and found that he was a crack shot. He was arrested, but was later released due to an error in the program used for the arrest. After the arrest, and no longer feeling safe, he moved around. He lived briefly in Siberia, before going to South Africa and Australia. After feeling rejuvenated, he moved backed to GER. He got caught up in the GER civil war,
but managed to get out, and escape to South Africa. Kord has since, moved back, and settled in Leningrad.
Psychological Profile: A good, polite man. Many are intimated by his build, but he likes to joke around. Can drink copious amounts of alcohol,
with not much effect on his body. He does however, have flash backs to the Russitainian Civil War, and slips into anger and madness occasionally.
Training: Hunting in Siberia, South Africa, and Australia. Trained by the Recces, Australian SAS, British SAS, and Russitainian Army. He qualified to join the Mosconderlin Guards (think of it like a mix between British, German, and Soviet special forces).
Notable Experience: Hunting, combat in the Russitainian Civil War.
Typical Loadout: Accuracy Internation AWM (Main armament, does have experience with Dragunov however), FN Five-Seven (Main side arm),
AK bayonet (main hand weapon). Ghillie suit for protection.
Theme Song:No theme song, but likes to listen to hardbass in his free time
Notes: Flaws-Has a tendency to wait too long to pull the trigger. Also has some reservations about killing Soviets, Brits, or Germans. Works extremely well with Richard van Beek (will most likely make a post for him later) and Murphy White (See note about van Beek) He will not reveal his face to anyone, and those who do see his face, are vowed to silence.

Task Force Atlas Personnel File
Name: Lieutenant Colonel William Lennox
Alias: Renegade 6
Unit: Special Operations Command, Special Projects Unit
Role: Task Force Atlas Commanding Officer
Age: 44
Height: 6' 4"
Weight: 210lbs
Birthplace: New Emmerian Coalition
Biographical Information: There is little information on Lennox before he joined STIGRU, the Emmerian Tier-One Operations force, where he lead a team as a captain, and then as a major. Following several disasters within the Coalition, Lennox and his team were redeployed to their homeland. Following the aftermath of the H1Z1 outbreak, Lennox and his team were redirected to combating hostile SRPA Presence following the Coalition President's executive order to shut down all SRPA assets. Suffering heavy casualties at the hands of this rogue cell of scientists and fellow special operations, Lennox and his team prevailed against the threat. After Special Operations Command was formed, Lennox was chosen as the commander of the Special Projects Unit, along with members of his old team being brought on as instructors and field-operators themselves. Lennox, to this day, still looks at Necropolis as "Emmeria's Crowning Failure in the Face of Adversity." While the Emmerian SPU team wasn't around for Atlas' ultimate deactivation, Lennox was saddened to hear about the loss of a unit that did so much good for the world. He tried to keep in contact with old friends and colleagues, mostly to no avail. However, some of his contacts did pull through, and during the chaos of Atlas' assets being scattered, his contacts were able to secure a small set of equipment and personnel he knew would come useful in the future if they were needed.
Psychological Profile: Despite still holding several emotional scars from the past, Lennox still forms a brotherly bond with his comrades, boosting their morale and pushing them through, even when they are dealt a horrible hand. His motivation, positive attitude, and leadership qualities have made Lennox a favorite among subordinates, despite experiencing events that should embitter the stalwart Lennox.
Training: STIGRU Training, SPU Training
Notable Experience: Several Classified Emmerian Operations, Operations Against SRPA, Task Force Atlas Veteran
Typical Loadout: AR-500 Body Armor, AK-103 Assault Rifle, Vicker .45 1911 Pistol, iDroid
Theme Song: New Divided - Linkin Park
Notes: N/A

So, you're applying as three separate people, but not a unit?
Also to note: This RP does not take place in the real world.

There is no way for me to a unit out of them. One's a Russitainian, another is a South African, and the last guy is an Aussie. The most logical thing I can maybe see, is them being one whole sniper team, but teams of three in the sniping world are few and far between at best. Also, just assume that that is their heritage, I will try to patch it in later.

Yeah. 3 snipers, who work together to cover each other. Not a team per say, but more like a group of snipers who cover each other's backs. If that's going to be too complicated, I can just rearrange them into a unit.
