"Well, it's still the same OP technically..." Edition It is an alternate February 2022. While tensions remain high between the rising superpowers in the East and the stalwart, reigning West, no stones have been thrown ... yet. Following the 9/11 hijackings, the use of black ops special forces had become more and more commonly used. The result was the North Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) creating a scientific task force composed of the most brilliant minds their member nations could offer in order to progress NATO's research and development. Of course, this is all nonsense, and in reality Task Force Aegis (TFA) was composed of some of the most brilliant military minds NATO had to offer. TFA is the cream of the crop. Composed of the best NATO special forces operatives, Task Force Aegis has been responsible for a number of successful operations. This was highlighted in the United States of America's 2002 Invasion of Afghanistan where TFA operatives were responsible for eliminating high value targets within the Sacred Ones' government, as well as a number of infiltration and sabotage operations. In 2009, following the aggressive expansion of the Russian Federation into the Baltics, TFA's operations shifted from assassinations, infiltrations and sabotage, to doing the work of NATO that was considered to be too dirty for even for the organization. As a result, TFA has become more and more independent of their NATO handlers, and have been known to operate with minimal contact with NATO. Today, Task Force Aegis remains a highly classified dirty secret of NATO. They are responsible for a number of destabilizations of hostile governments, inciting insurgencies in hostile nations, and even more. The task force has always risen to the challenge no matter what. They are highly-trained, highly-motivated, and well-equipped for any type of encounter. OOC STUFF Task Force Aegis is a small-scale, special operations RP based in an alternate 2022. The RP is designed to reflect modern warfare, special operations, and the moral & ethical dilemmas that face special forces operatives today. The RP requires a minimum of one character to a maximum of four characters. Unlike previous instalments of Task Force Aegis, this instalment will instead tackle small squad based tactics and the coordination of multiple special forces groups. Players will create an operator from any in-real life NATO/NATO-friendly country's special forces, and are welcomed to be as creative as they want with their application. Every operation is dynamic, but will stick to a linear story line/static goal. Each operation's outcome is dependent on whether or not if the operating group has completed various objectives and/or have been successful in their operations. This means that although the linear story line/static goal may call for the downfall of an oppressive regime, if the operators were unsuccessful, the new reigning government may be less friendly or downright hostile to NATO instead of a friendly or neutral attitude. Therefore, it is imperative that in each operation, every operator pays close attention to what they are supposed to do and not do. RULES
2. Staff members are an extension of the OP's authority, treat them as you would treat the OP. 3. No one liners, ninth grade grammar and spelling minimum. I'd like at least two paragraphs per post (flexible exceptions will be made). 4. No Godmodding or Metagaming, offenders will be punished. 5. Your political views and offensive terms (to an extent) are allowed IC, but keep it easy in the OOC, it's an RP. 6. Since all operatives have a formal military training, I expect your characters to be able to follow orders from their superiors. Punishment by operatives' superiors are permitted IC if commands are not followed. 8. Just because this is a war RP doesn't mean that people are devoid of emotion. Even the most hardened and distant veterans show emotion. Bonds will develop in the RP and will be tested whether through conflict or interactions. These can be avoided, but most of the time a character will surpass their limit and explode. Keep this in mind, we're all human after all. 9.Violence is a cornerstone of this RP. Grisly incidents will be portrayed, and it is up to you to respond to them accordingly. While all characters are to be of military/special forces backgrounds, everyone has their limit and you must decide when your character has a break. 10. No one is superhuman, characters will feel the pressure of their operations, fatigue and the stress of fighting. Remember that. 11. Realism, you can't run and gun through an entire compound without any consequences. 12. Have a good time, come on guys, this is an relaxed-ish RP Group.
