Bio: Arnold Sherman, codename "Flatfoot" is a relatively new and unexperienced mercenary. He's got a few years of combat under his belt, mostlt in the war torn Africa region. He eventually decided to join his own PMC. It remains to be seen if Arnolds first real mission will be his last.
Physically, for a medium height caucasian male, he's remarkable only for the fact that he likes to work in panama hats, hawaiian shirts and flip flops. Antarctica would be ironic for him...in the field, he's pretty sharply dressed though. Has a weird addiction to Mr. Pibb. Deadly in hand to hand, close up fighting.

Appearance: About 6'7, 300 pounds. Wears extremely heavy flameproof armor, armored helmet with attached gasmask, and a tactical vest to hold his fuel tanks and miscellaneous gear. His armor is gray with a green stripe down the outside of both arms and legs, and a similar stripe running vertically across the front of the helmet. When seen without the helmet, he has burn scars on his left cheek, homely features, closely-cropped black hair, and brown eyes. On the forehead of his helmet, and left shoulder plate of his armor, is a stencil in gold with the initials of the PMC he is part of.
Biography: A mercenary, 35 years old with 12 years of experience in the American military (Army, specifically) and 5 years as a private contractor. He works for a small PMC and prefers missions that require little subtlety. Despite his size and heavy gear, he can move quite swiftly (possibly due to his former status as a football player in high school)... it's pretty scary to have a huge guy with a flamethrower charging your position. Although a quiet man, he works well with others and looks out for his teammates. He has a wife and two daughters at home and keeps a family picture with him at all times; it helps keep him grounded even in tense situations. He prefers to use shock-and-awe style weapons, suppressing through intimidation.

Company: Steel Coast Security (SCS)
Region: Middle America
Started practising with rifles at a very young age with his father. Accidentally killed a pregnant woman at the age of ten with one of his father's rifles, resulting in his father being imprisoned and earning Waltz the nickname he would later use as his code name. After the incident, Waltz became cynical and emotionally detatched, but despite this he retained the ability to impress people with his reasoning and wits.
After spending his early 20's working as a junior engineer at a shipyard, he was contracted to build and maintain patrol boats for Steel Coast Security, essentially a private coastguard organization. During the first ten years of his employment there, Steel Coast prospered and became increasingly prominent in Middle America, where the cartel situation was becoming unbearable. Waltz's supervisor eventually realized that his technical and analytical skills could be used for actual operations instead of just maintaining the ships of what had become one of the largest private navies in the world, so Waltz was arranged a position in one of the command ships. Why he chose the code name "Deadeye Dick", only Waltz himself knows, although many people assume it to have something to do with the fact that no detail goes past Waltz unnoticed. So far, the upstart officer has been popular, but he has yet to prove himself in trickier situations.
Another thing known only to Waltz himself is his uncanny knack for sniper rifles. Waltz dislikes having to kill people himself, and hasn't trained with live guns much since his childhood accident, and yet he uses a rifle like a professional.
Poke me hard if I forgot something. Oh yeah, I'm at GMT +2 and I work 8 hours (or more) a day... if that's too slow for you others I'll be happy to skip this one.

Edit: Bio draft (I don't feel it's particularly good but it's hard to feel inspired at work, I'll come back to it I hope)
Gregor couldn’t really afford or be bothered to finish med school so he dropped out halfway through and signed up to join the British Army.
He excelled in his training as a combat medic, quickly got into active service, and eventually did well enough to get into the Parachute Regiment.
From there he worked towards getting into the Combat Search and Rescue teams as he figured that was the best way he would keep getting to see action.
He likes the action but he’s been smart enough to realise that there’s no point working towards getting a pension he’ll never get to spend so instead of another 15 years he’s decided to go private for a few and then get rich enough to never have to face another bullet. He’s just hoping he gets over the buzz of combat before then.
Is it ok if I properly write up a short bio a bit later? I am at work at the moment so it will have to wait for a tea break... Basically background is last post was British Army search and rescue team, is there a way for the Connected trait to reflect this better?
Apologies, this is my first proper RTD.

No. Its fine, If you want the it to be Connected (British Army Search and Rescue) But that's a very specialized connection
I guess it is, but I couldn't think of anything else in the Support that would fit with the background I wanted, and I wondered if it might one day have some kind of use re: equipment or something like that. I want him to be a combat medic but am not sure what skill for Support would fit that better.
Edit:
Also I guessed that British Army S&R would have connections to NATO S&R and be less specialised that why I put that originally.

Heck, I even checked Wikipedia that the area is called "Middle America"... :D
I've got a weird fascination with that region. There's always a cartel war or revolution going on, making it good for this sort of thing.

The War Economy, It churns onward and onward with no end in sight. Conflicts have sprung up across the World under various names and causes, Some for ideology some for sheer profit. Corperations with their own fighting forces to protect intrests and shadowy groups acting out parts their dark agenda. And now you, have decided to test your mettle against the gears of the WE, Its Showtime.
Seven Operatives land in a pleasant port town of Nicaragua, Casa De Mar, from a rusted cargo barge and set out for the Warehouse on the edge of town that they will call home for their stay. They unload crates of ammunition and computer equipment, Etching out a crude HQ for the Newborn PMC, After setting up a crude command hub and living quarters they first priority is to purchase supplies and heavy equipment, They have $50,000 between them all, Not much. But It will do for now. And they start to receive messages after Dan had spread the word that they have opened up shop.

Brian adjusted his button-down shirt, which hung open over a white tanktop. For a huge guy such as himself, the heat was smothering, and he was already sweating pretty hard. Christ, what a dump this place is. We're going to have to put in some effort if we're going to make anything out of this town. He checked his bank account: he had brought a little over 7,000 into this venture, but he figured he should keep some of it back just in case and set a limit for himself at $5000. "I'm going to go get some weaponry. I'll be back," he said, heading out.
Buying:
5 AK-47s (1,500)
5 Kevlar Vests (2,500)
1 Sneaking Suit (1,000)
Total $5,000
And I'll keep 1 Vest and 1 AK-47 for myself, you guys can decide how you want to divide the rest of it up. I also vote we do the La Frente mission. :3
Post by: Darvi on August 12, 2011, 01:34:16 pm
Aaaalso it's 15000 that remain, dunno where you lost the other 6...

And I suppose we're either going on foot or with no Support equipment, so I'll go with the majority on that [I don't know at all].
I like the look of the 3rd or 4th job offers?
I'm open to advice though and won't post an action yet...
ah - edit:
Just saw your proposal - I only want $3k at most, depending on Medical supplies cost
Post by: SeriousConcentrate on August 12, 2011, 01:41:37 pm
@lawastooshort: You can grab the stealth suit and an AK I bought, that should save some dough.
Edit: Also, at some point, I'm going to have to ask Taricus if he can make that armor+flamethrower combo I have listed in my bio. I wants it. :3

Gregor picked up one of the AKs to test how it felt in his hands and set aside a stealth suit. "I'm heading out to look for some kind of medical supplies - take this $3k for the support" he said, and left to look for medical kit and a pistol.
[sorry - bit rushed - got to put daughter to bed ;)] [thanks for the AK/suit]

I also want to take a first aid kit and surgical kit and take one of each for HQ, and will be happy to swap for the kevlar vest rather than stealth suit if anyone else wants the money.
Also I won't take the grenades perhaps if that and the first aid would be too heavy in the field (Riccto? And can you also advise if the surgical kit is appropriate for the field? If not I just want one for HQ)

I'll get the surgery kit then, seeing as how I'm Support and ain't likely to move around much.
Well I already added it to my total of $1100 to leave at HQ and don't want to spend any more, so take mine.

2 Kevlar Vests, one for him and Deadeye.
2 Sneaking Suits for Gregor and Arnold.
4 Grenades for Gregor; 2 smoke, 2 frag.
1 Surgery kit for Dan.
2 First-Aid kit for Gregor.
for a total of $5,600. He distributed them as they were requested and put on his own vest, tucking his new pistol into the holster on the side of it and shouldering his AK. "Whenever you guys are ready, we'll move out to that tower," he said.
That's everything, right? Leaves us with a good amount of cash for upgrading the base, I think.

Field.
The team gets loaded up, Each operative examining their weapon to assure to misfires in the field and quickly loads into the pick up, Deciding that having men with guns lounging in the back they all crowd into the cab of the vehicle. The windows rolled down as they bump along the rough roads of the village, heading towards the point their contractor had specified. After an hour and a half the SOCK's arrive at their destination, A cross roads where they spot a pair of old ten ton army trucks with a man briefing his troops. As you pull over the man flags the group over "
Oye!" He says "You are they...Eh..SOCK's? Si?" He spots the stencil on Sledgehammers armor and invites them to stand by them "I am Sanduce Commandante de este Compas...The man who is paying your paycheck" He laughs a bit at his own joke. Next to him you spot a heavily armored man, Obviously a PMC due to his equipment, With an RPG strapped to his back. He seems to be sizing you up. Sanduce snaps and draws your attention over to the map "Okay...So we are here." He points to a area of the map circled in red. "And we want to head. Here, To the Gobierno Radio outpost, They have been causing trouble por La Frente for ages now and we eh..Figured..That we should take them out Sabe? Marcelo here will take care of the actual demolition...We just needed some...Reliable Guns on the ground. Sabe?" With this Sanduce Climbs to the passenger window of one of the trucks and raises his fist "Por La Frente SEMPIRE!" The Frente soldiers respond with a roaring cheer in return as the pile into the trucks, Marcelo climbs in slowly and you do the same into your own pickup, How do you go about this job?

Gather some reliable intel about the area, possibly do some scouting.
Remember, my first time doing this, so feel free to correct me if I'm doing something wrong.
You're sitting in a truck right now with a very short drive to the area you are going to be attacking/ Shooting/ Getting shot at from, So this is more of a plan of attack time than anything, I mean you can get some minor info on the geography but besides that not much.

Gregor poked his hat back up and came out from under it. "Damn, Deadeye - I kinda agreed with Arnold and Dan and you got me thinking again. You could be right and my first instinct was that this dude wasn't being 100% straight. We should be careful, anyhow..."

Brian nodded. "I've been in the shit before. Did a run out in the desert, helped destabilize a different country God know where..." He shrugged. "You get used to assuming your employer isn't telling you everything." He lowered the window and rested his elbow on the opening, using that hand to activate his radio. "So anyway, we're going to hit them from the back. Dan, you got a map? We might need to find a different route."

Ah. so the others arecannonfoddera decoy.
But Sanduce's friend Marcelo will handle the detonation - his survival is top priority, for now at least.
Deadeye leaned towards the radio. "I doubt Sanduce will let us carry out any plan that features his men being at risk. Luring the rebels away from the radio shack would probably make our work a lot easier."
Post by: lawastooshort on August 14, 2011, 12:37:11 pm
Well I guess we have no reason to suspect our employer will turn on us, but if they're sending 40+ men it's got to be more than a handful of men defending it. I'd prefer the back route too, but then if we're meant to back up the unsteady troops that could be counter productive. Plus we could get friendly fired.

Deadeye: "So, it's an official radio station and we're fighting WITH the rebels? These peasants actually can afford to pay us? But this is good news, at least for the scope of this operation. They are less likely to expect anything and more likely to accept bribes if you decide to resort to that."
"Also, be REALLY nice to Sanduce - you may pick up intel valued by other... parties around here."

So can we assume that we will all stop shortly before contact, pick him up, drive / foot round the back and attack, possibly trying to be reasonably stealthy under the cover of the rebel forces attacking from the front? We could also possibly inform El Commandante that we will signal with a smoke grenade when we are inside and it is done.

The dusty convoy rattles along the dirt road, each member feeling every bump and pothole in the trucks terrible suspension as they discuss their plan of attack while the trucks infront of them chug along up the hill towards the target. The air gets stuffier as the foliage closes in on either side of the convoy with the only blue sky to be seen directly above them, only opened up by the crude farmer road. In the distance they see the Radio tower looming less than a Kilometer away as the truck engines shut off infront of them and the peasant-soldiers fan out from the back, The party does the same. Seeking out Marcelo they inform him of the plan (Cha Check: FAILURE.) But he shakes his head, he had his own plan to start with and he'll stick with it. He wont hang around with a bunch of Greenhorns and get himself killed, They hike down to road with the rest of the forces until they are Less than 500 meters away where (Int Check : Critical Success) Badger finds an old slightly overgrown gametrail wide enough for a truck to travel down that seems to run parallel to the outpost, As you start down it Sanduce has his force split in two with Marcelo following you on the game trail. The outfit hiked for a few more minutes in the heat before coming within visual and firing range of the outpost. You wait in the cover of bush but then you hear a yell "POR LA FRENTE SEMPIRE" Followed by and audible roar of Ak fire. You see Goverment soldiers pouring out of the two buildings the compound in made up of, a dozen or so stacking up on the front barricade firing at the outpost while another dozen hangs back towards the radio tower
Support
Flamethrower Development: (Int Check 5,8) You both come up with some basic sketches and prototypes for a flame thrower to be used in the field but nothing too compact, a nozzle and a large backpack, WWII style
DD: Look up Maps of the Outpost, You quickly are able to bring up a satalite image of the outpost and overlay it with topographical maps to get a detailed view of the battle field, The outpost consists of a large radio tower in the center of the outpost with a building to the north west and north east of it. The North West building seems to be a type of command building and barracks withe the NE building seems to be some type of garage of hanger, The entire compound is surrounded with a moderate sized wall, Not too difficult to climb with Barricades and tank traps at the North and south entrance

Avoid fire, try to remain undetected, attack from the back
Yeah I would go with this. Say advancing in pairs, covering and moving, and (if I have understood correctly) Marcelo should stay bodyguarded by the rearmost pair, with the front pair on the lookout for traps / ambushes of some kind.
Close with the enemy as quickly and silently as safety allows, staying with Brian and Marcelo slightly behind Daniel and Arnold, covering as they move forward and then moving forward when they can cover.
Because I figured you two seem slightly more light and short rangy and me and Brian slightly more long rangy, but that was just my thought.

Flatfoot attempts to hop the wall (Easy Agi Check: Pass) and makes it over without too much of a disturbance. Trickster heads to the rear entrance where four guards stand facing the front entrance as a makeshift last line of defence against the roaring battle as the Revolutionaries push into the defenders, their massed fire proving effective. The team arrives in a location where they can see the rear entrance but Badger disturbs the bushes loudly, causing one of the more nervous soldiers to fire into the bushes but luckily missing everyone, In return the four open fire on the guards from the bushes. Sledgehammer's gun jams before he fire off a single shot but it can be repaired with a little work. Badger blows away a pair of the guards with a sharp retort from his rifle and Trickster's weapon jam also leaving Flatfoot to blast the last pair with a well prepared spray of fire as he then rushes to the hangar door.
Kangaroo sits infront of his screen, attempting to improve the armor plating and reliablity of the Flamethrower ( Hard INT: Failed) but seems to have hit a designers block
