Mercenary Coup Interest-Sign up OOC

Postby Itaull » Fri Jun 01, 2018 4:28 am

The small nation of Itaull is weak and vulnerable and ruled by the 16 year old Queen Sofia Fari. The Queen exists as a symbol of power, the real government lies in the hand of the 7 provincial governors, the High Council, and the Grand Council. However, they lack control over the whole country, which is filled with ungoverned areas, often inhospitable jungle where no roads lead. Rumor has it that these areas contain enormous wealth in the form of raw materials such as gemstones.

Thus a plan was hatched, to seize the Queen, and thus power. The success would make the plotters rich, and possibly even allow them to improve the country, bringing it into the modern era.

Haggard Smith, the developer of this plan needed help, so he sought out mercenaries from different lands, promising them riches, power and women.

Geography:
Itaull is surrounded by mountains on its southern border. Frederick's Pass being the best entrance to the country from the south. It is through this pass the main road enters the land. Where the highway meets with the large Makikaw River is where Kantonsville, the largest city and administrative capital is. The population is 400,000. Farther downstream is the ceremonial capital, Palais, where the Queen lives. It has a much smaller population, and is more a palatial complex with suburbs. Between the two cities lies the plains, where most of the farms that feed the nation are. North of Palais is jungle, in which some other settlements lie, reachable by road, train or river.

Both, I think. I am not a military expert, so I won't get into technical details. Actually, the military part will be quite small, because it is maybe two dozen mercs involved.

Haggard's political orientation, a political mapmode of where our mercenaries arrive, what military hardware we can use, what pay the mercenaries get, a brief overview of your nation? Why is it necessary to overthrow the queen? Because Haggard seeks power, or because she's corrupt in some way or the other? What kind of military specialists do you need? (Demolitionists, insurgentcy operatives, marksmen, standard riflemen, medics?)

To answer some questions,

No Fantasy
No turning Itaull communist (too boring)

Weapons allowed are pretty much any mt small arms. PMT tech needs approval. All of Itaull's equipment is at least 30 years outdated.

If you want to oppose the coup, you can have one - three military advisors, but you have to make sure they are surprised, and be ready to fail.

The basic plan for the coup is to seize the Queen and a news station and then declare victory. The mercs will receive a share in the government as well as in the gemstone mines.

The Queen is not corrupt, but the government that rules in her name is. Smith is not very ideological, but he wants to develop the country more. Of course, a mercenary coup would not be accepted as legitimate, so they will describe themselves as revolutionaries that have liberated the Queen and ended the corrupt and backward government.

Good evening,
I am still very interested. Here's my app:

Name:
Background/Bio:
    Celina Amhas of the Tribe of Cork was born in 1992 in Launceston in the Free Lands of the Selkie, rising up not in the city, but in a village around four-hundred kilometres away - Launceston still being the largest town in the general vincity. From a very early age, she wanted to get out of her village, which she affectionately called 'Bumfuck-nowhere' during English Lessons, and see the world.
    As her parents were not exactly swimming in money and job-oppurtunities are not well paid in that part of the Icy Shore, the girl, who scandalised as a hobby, had two options: Move to the city and search for work there or join the SDF. She did the latter, soon being a soldier and markswoman in the III./2nd, III. Squadron, 2nd Dradan-Regiment.
    But here, too, she scandalised as a hobby and soon felt the wrath of her superior officers (a number of scars across her back attest to that), until they threw her out in 2015.
    With nowhere to go and to turn to, Celina invested her savings into a Gabha R-15 Carbine (which she was technically not allowed to posess) and a train ticket to Redruth, joining the Mercenary Guild. From there, she made her name as someone, who was difficult to work with, but very skilled in her fields.
Skills:
    Observation, marksmanship, cooking, music playing (fiddle and singing), quite well with bow and arrow, can ride a horse very well, lockpicking, navigating by the stars, first aid.
Age:
    26 Springs.
Misc:
    Scars across her back from punishments by the Army.
    Has a nice voice - she's not Aingeal, but she can sing. And she can play the fiddle.
    Very well with her old R-15 Carbine, but added a Pistol, Semi-Automatic, Model 1910 to it. She's also trained in using both different and more modern weapons. One should not challenge her to a knife-fight, though, because she will cut you into thin filets before you realize, that she drew her daggers.
    Usually wears her hair bound back.
    She is a member of the Mercenary Guild of Redruth, and NOT on the government's payroll.

Any questions?

I've edited my application to include character weaknesses as well

Name: Pyotr/Peter Gavrilov

Background: Gavrilov was born immediately following the Revolution of 1911 into a tough agrarian life in a hamlet near Kartiya. His father, a member of the ultra-nationalist Tekisti Centralist Movement, was executed for conspiracy against the state when Peter was only 6 years old. Peter grew up to despise the new regime, and following in the footsteps of his father, joined one of the illegal underground cells of the Centralist Movement.

When the Great Revolutionary Civil War broke out between the 1911 communist government and the New Socialist Vanguard, the Centralist White Army assembled and joined forces with the government to crush the New Socialists, who were directly opposed to Tekisti Centralism. Gavrilov, who was then 24, was initially hesitant to fight side-by-side with the regime he hated so much, but when he realized that the alternative was far less preferable, he reluctantly joined in the fighting. He quickly rose among the ranks of the White Army, distinguishing himself among the relatively uneducated militias that it was made up of. However, with the final victory of the New Socialists at Nizhny Vits, everything Gavrilov worked for throughout the war - rank, fame, wealth - was destroyed.

Gavrilov, however, persisted. Refusing to accept the Vanguardist government as legitimate, he continued fighting a sort-of "guerrilla war" in southern Tekistion for the next 17 years. He worked as a saboteur of Vanguardist military operations, as well as an informant and ally of foreign spies. Making a name for himself, he gained a personality cult of resistance to socialism among the crypto-centralist minorities in Tekistion when he was declared Public Enemy Number One by the authorities. In the last few years, however, Gavrilov's solo operation had fallen out of favor of foreign powers, and when one of his hideouts was raided, he realized that his lack of foreign funds was making further work impossible and he fled the country. He began work as a gun for hire in some of the less "restrictive" nations, but had longed to return to Tekistion and continue the fight against the "godless communists". An opportunity presents itself to him - the planned mercenary coup in could give him not only wealth to continue his fight, but significant sway in the politics of Itaull, something that can be indispensable for his future plans.

Skills: Sabotage, Survival Skills, Marksmanship, Espionage, Asymmetrical warfare.

Weaknesses: Can tunnel-vision on goals, stubborn, solitary (The Centralist Movement taught him to despise most other ethnicities, so he isn't too fond of working with others).

Age: 48

Misc: Gavrilov didn't survive for almost two decades in enemy territory by playing nice. He made friends and enemies through intricate backstabbing and other intrigue. His one instinct is to look out for himself, all others are secondary to his goals - if an opportunity presents itself during the operation, he will gladly switch to whatever side will give him better concessions after the whole ordeal is over.

Postby The Shrailleeni Empire » Thu Jun 07, 2018 5:22 pm

I feel almost obligated as one of the oldest RPing matriarchies to support any matrilocal/matrilineal nation whenever and however I can.

To that end I would be happy to supply a single military advisor to oppose the coup, of course bearing in mind that the outcome seems pretty set. Given that Shrailleeni recently experienced a similar anti-corruption initiative, it may also be that we would be somewhat sympathetic to Smith's ideals.

I'm attaching a character sheet, but I do have some questions moving forward: will military advisors have any control over any forces? And do you personally have an interest in exploring your own government through interaction, in other words, if the advisors are purely advisory will I have anything to do? I feel like we could work in diplomatic interaction, but only if that's something you'd like to do.

Name: Valetta Dressette'

Background: Valetta is part of a generation of common-born Shrailleeni who benefited greatly from the Enlightened Matriarchy's subsidized foreign education program. An ethnic Railti from the industrial city of Muldera on western Home Island, she chose to spend her final two years of public school abroad in the Republic of Adiron, where she received a university-level education majoring in political science and international relations. Upon her return to the Enlightened Matriarchy she enlisted in the Imperial Army for officer candidate training, and was assigned as a Commander within the 13th Armored Battlegroup. Her unit saw no combat during that time.

Due to her experience in foreign languages and living among foreigners, Valetta was targeted for recruitment into the Shrailleeni Imperial Strategic Intelligence (SISI) service. She trained for and then served as field commander for SISI operations in Ashab, where her duties were to rendezvous with and assess the native matrilocal population for supply and organization. Due to her experience in this field and military background, she was selected for assignment to Itaull to act as a military liaison with the Itaulli government.

Skills: Command experience as a military and intelligence officer, wilderness survival training in jungle environments, training in asymmetrical tactics, fluent in four non-native languages including English, Spanish, Cetan, and Latin.

Age: 28

Misc: The Enlightened Matriarchy of the Shrailleeni Empire maintains a policy of "Sisterhood of Nations" diplomacy, through which matrilocal, matrilineal, and matriarchal governments are prioritized for international relations and development. In the case of Itaulli, being a small, remote, isolated, and developing nation, the nation is typically assessed before any strong declarations are made. Valetta's assignment reflects this, and in some ways is meant to be more of an intelligence gathering/diplomatic mission than a military one.
