[Interest Check] All Female PMC Group (Inspired by Jormungand)

[1SAZ]

*walks in taking a sip of coffee* Welp, lets try this again and see what happens.

Based in spirit off the anime Jormungand, this will be the story of an all female team of PMCs acting as the bodyguards of a quirky arms dealer, full of action, adventure, and "plot".

Story:
You were a member of the military elite. You worked your way up in a male dominated career to achieve a position worth bragging, all due to your skill. Too bad the most promising careers have the habit of crashing and burning when you least expect it. Now, you're on you're way out the door with your bag on your shoulder and skills that lack any other trade to ply them. It is here that you find yourself standing in front of a fairly young woman who you only know by her last name. She is dressed in a suit and has all the skills of a business woman, but the gaze of a battle hardened general. Her words were something that stuck with you. "If you work for me, you'll never want another job, and I guarantee, you'll be respected for your skills."

So now you find yourself traveling with an arms dealer. Most every day is an adventure, a trip to various countries and living in the luxuries that come with money and power. Other days, you'll find yourself on the cold hard ground while the crack of gunfire fills your ears and lead flies all around. But such is the life of a bodyguard in a PMC group. The best and worst, you take them as they come.

Characters:
All characters in this game will be female. No offense to anyone who feels like playing a male, but I want to keep this an all female affair for various reasons, most of which come down to the anime-esque hijinks that I have planned.

In any case, all characters come from various military and criminal backgrounds that have highly specialized skills, but you found yourself pulled away from your previous employ for various reasons. Moments after your discharge, or even at the moment of your discharge, you find yourself approached by your future boss and her honeyed offer to work for her. If you want to play a British Sniper who was booted from the army for turning down a superior's advances "disobeying a direct order" or a former Yakuza assassin who killed her former master because of his "less than honorable business practices", feel free. Just create a good story that ends with you joining or being a member of the group.

Expectations:
I don't expect too much from my players. I just want to tell a good story that has all the fun that comes with putting a group of highly sexy women with various tools of death into one place.

Posting rate should at least be once a week with a minimum post length of three paragraphs. Please be descriptive, as it makes everything better story wise. No one likes having to guess what happens when you swing a sword at someone, so paint the picture!

I do expect this to be a rather comedic, somewhat raunchy, heavily action packed joy ride, so if you don't have a decent sense of humor, let us know so we can find you one!

[Foxy DeVille]

Let's see how this works for ya...

Name: Beulah Pusser
Nicknames: Beulah the Belle, the Gun Rack
Played By: Foxy Oni
Age: 31
Nationality: American by birth, Southern by the grace of God
Specialty: Law enforcement techniques
Appearance: Beulah is a fit woman of average height and way above average bustiness. She speaks with a Southern accent and dresses like a country girl in her downtime.
Equipment: M16 rifle, M4 carbine, Glock 19 pistol, bad ass pair of sunglasses
History: Born and raised in Finger, Tennessee, Beulah was always a bit of a tomboy and even joined the high school wrestling team. After graduation she joined the Marines and worked as an MP. During her service she took college classes and got a degree in criminology. After eight years she left the Marines and returned home, where she got a job with the nearby Hardin county Sheriff's Department as a deputy. She performed her job very well and when the sheriff got busted for corruption she ran for and won his seat. Beulah did a great job of cleaning up the county, maybe too good. Local members of the Dixie Mafia put up their own candidate and beat Beulah out of her re-election bid thanks to bribery and intimidation. The first thing the new sheriff did was fire Beulah. But then a woman came to Beulah with a job offer. Her years with a badge would be a benefit in keeping less-than-reputable clients out of trouble. And the money would be enough to help beat the Dixie Mafia at their own game and get her county back.

Looks good to me Foxy.

[AKunoichi]

Oh hi! I remember both of you guys from when I tried to run something like this. Can I play a pilot?

Name: Katherine Hawker
Nicknames: Kitty
Played By: AKunoichi
Age: 26
Nationality: USA
Specialty: Pilot
Appearance: A skiny white girl with short dirty blonde hair, wears mirror-shades and a flight-suit habitually zipped all the way down to below the navel.
Equipment: An OV10X bronco, modernized version of the famous Nam Era light reconnaissance aircraft. Armed with 4x .50cal machine guns, and a 20mm chaingun in a ball turret. Can carry 4 passengers, and has hardpoints for rockets, missiles, bombs, and extra fuel. (range will be severely limited if all this equipment is carried at once)
For personal defense she carries a Glock modified for full auto fire with extended magazines, holographic scope, and a tactical flashlight. The pistol and two spare mags are in a shoulder holster inside her flightsuit, and there are also two punch daggers are hidden in sheaths up her flight-suit sleeves. She also has a suppressor and detachable stock for her pistol rolling around in her cockpit along with more ammo.
History: Joined the marines to be a pilot, got discharged for sleeping with her female commanding officer, who proceeded to throw her under the bus when they got caught. After leaving the corps she became a smuggler transporting drugs around southeast Asia. During this time she also developed a minor heroin addiction and a gabling problem. Faced with the choice of either selling her pane to pay for rehab, or finding a more reliable job, she chose the latter.

If you don't need a pilot I can make a regular action girl. I've just had this character in my head for a long time.

Hope this looks good.

Name: Illyana Kraschenko
Nickname: Angel of Death
Played by: silentwalrus227
Age: 34 years
Specialty: Sniping and infiltration
Appearance: Illyana is a busty beauty with short cropped raven hair and an ivory complexion to go with the body of an Olympic gymnast. She speaks with a sultry Russian accent and favors tight black leathers both on and off the clock.
Equipment: Dragunov Rifle, AN-94, PP-19, Combat Knife
History: Illyana comes from a family of proud Soviet soldiers. Too bad that the USSR was on its way out when she was a little girl. Still, she wanted to make her father proud and the political strife that followed Eastern Europe over the next decade proved invaluable to the ambitious woman as she clawed her way up through the ranks, eventually catching the eye of a Spetsnaz recruiter. Her new comrades gave her the nickname the Angel of Death for the cold efficiency with which she dispatched her targets.

Her shining career came to an end when she refused a direct order to fire on unarmed insurgents in Ukraine. One dishonorable discharge later, she now offers her skills to the highest bidder in hopes of finding some form of redemption.

[Norsegod1839]

Name: Juliet Romanov
Nicknames: Black Widow, Ice Queen
Played By: EroticLiteracy
Age: 22
Nationality: Russian
Specialty: Close Quarters combat, seductiojn
Appearance: 
Equipment: Poison tipped karambit, Silver baller with silencers, Remington pump action shotgun if she needs to go loudc
History:  Juliet has been working as a "acquisition consultant" for a number of years. She goes into corporate and scientific facilities and essentially steals things. She deos this primarily through brutal close quarters combat and or seduction. She is not above assassination if it pays well. Her past is largely mysterious as she appeared in the PMC corporate scene all on her own and proved herself by breaking in and stealing something from one of the top bio facilities in the world. Since then she has continued to make a name for herself both in the bedroom (at least with the ladies) and also in the corporate espionage world.

@AKunoichi:
General concept and role looks good, only thing I would ask changed is the aircraft, only because a light attack bomber might be a bit hard to justify to various governments to allow during an operation. Personally, something with a bit more cargo and personnel space would be the most useful for the team, but something with some bite would be great if you can come up with something.

@Silentwalrus227
Looks good, though I would personally suggest a lighter caliber sniper rifle for general use missions, and possibly some sort of back up weapon for close range. If you are dead set on Russian weapons, I recommend the PP-19.

@EroticLiteracy
Interesting character, though I'm curious how she'll do with a team. Looks good over all though.

@All
Do you all have a team name suggestion? I'll be adding a team leader to the group, as well as your actual boss, but if you all have suggestions for a team name, feel free to offer them.

[Norsegod1839]

Uhhh how about the Wolves?

[Foxy DeVille]

The Bangin' Bods. Because they're bodyguards with guns.

[Norsegod1839]

The Bangin' Bods. Because they're bodyguards with guns.

Ha can I change mine to hers?

[Norsegod1839]

Also if you need a co GM let me know! I have experience both co gming and being an actual GM

[AKunoichi]

If we need a name, I suggest "Tactical Escort services." or something that plays with those words.

As for the plane. I picked the OV10X because it was small but still had a bit of cargo space in the back (can carry up to 6 passengers in addition to the pilot and co-pilot) it was designed as a recon aircraft and the missiles and guns were latter upgrades. In a transport role most of them would be replaced with drop tanks for more fuel to carry more cargo further, leaving only the quad .50 calls. The main advantage of the OV10 is that it can take off and land on short runways.

Alternately, perhaps some kind of seaplane like a PBY Catalina? Although unlike the 0V10, that hasn't been modernized and isn't in production anymore.

[silentwalrus227]

There, touched up the character a bit.

Personally my vote goes to either Valkyries or Bangin’ Bods.

[Norsegod1839]

my votes for banging bods!

[Hobbes1266]

Would the nationality need to be based on something in the real world? I don't want to use a nationality I don't know much if anything about and make a stereotype, which I wouldn't need to worry about if we are aloud to use fictional countries.

Edit: or at least not need to worry as much.

[Lynnette]

Name: Rey Sawyer
Nicknames: Clover
Played By: Lynnette
Age: 34
Nationality: American
Specialty: Escort and military tactics
Appearance: Decently busty, tall and fit, both arms richly tattooed.
Equipment: Swaps between an FN SCAR MK-17 and a Remington ACR, Beretta M9, 2x Stun grenades, kevlar tactical vest
History: Rey enrolled in the US army rangers and was active for ten years years, from 18 to 28. She served first in Irak and later in Niger. Her goal was to make it into the Navy Seals, despite the organ not accepting female applicants at the time. After several rejected application and a number of "boring" missions, she eventually retired. Seeking more action, she packed her bags and moved to the south of Africa where she knew the PMC market was booming. Between speaking fluent French, knowing well how to deal with law enforcement and border patrols quickly and efficiently, and being a damn good shot, she built herself a solid reputation as one of the best in the market. She encountered her new boss by chance, and knowing well what kind of action arms dealers and their bodyguards saw, she accepted the position.



As for the group name, TES (Tactical escort services) has a nice ring to it. Valkyries does too ^^

I would think you could get away with a basic knowledge and or just doing something fictional I mean I am not the GM but I do not see it as being a hgue deal if you only know the basics?

[1SAZ]

Bangin' Bods seems to be the popular vote so far.

@AKunoichi
For a plane, I do like the idea of a larger seaplane line the PBY Catalina, or another cargo style plane retrofitted with some bite. Feel free to toss a few ideas at me if you have something in mind besides the Catalina.

@Silentwalrus227
A good update, just know the PP-19 Bizon is not a pistol, it's a submachine gun. If you want something pistol sized for an automatic that is still Russian, the PP-2000 is a good option. Otherwise, looks great. Also, don't be afraid to also include the M107 in your equipment if you still want an anti-material rifle.

@Hobbes1266
Very general knowledge is all you really need. Wikipedia searches are an acceptable resource for this game. Fictitious countries are also fine, and I'll be using generalized locals for certain areas in a "to avoid harming the innocent" way, so don't feel overly tied down to real world locations and nations.

@Lynnette
Looks great. A SEAL wannabe that couldn't join just because she's a woman certainly works with the concept of the story, so I love the way you wrote your character. That said, it's not super common to have someone go from Army to Navy to join the SEALs, Rangers are a tiny bit more likely.

As far as the over all "official" name, "Tactical Escort Services" seems appropriate for the on the books name of the PMC, but your team name amongst yourselves and others in the business would be Bangin' Bods. Sound good to everyone?

Alright, my knowledge of the inner workings of the US military and which routes more naturally lead to which is a bit out of my ballpark, so I'll go back and change it ^^

And it sounds fair to me ^^

Silly idea I just had... Bangin' Bods could be like a series of straight-to-video movies with each mission being the latest installment with titles like Bangin' Bods 2: More Bang For Your Buck.

Or maybe not.

[Hobbes1266]

Name: Mira Babin
Nicknames: Belladonna
Played By: Hobbes
Age: 25
Nationality: Pomekhen
Specialty: Medic
Appearance: Mira stands roughly two inches under six feet tall with dark bobbed hair and blue eyes, her chest though noticeable when she's in civilian dress is nothing of abnormal size on either end of the spectrum.
Equipment: Soratnik, AK-12, kevlar vest, aid bag, backup aid bag, cyanide
History: Mira was once a medic for a Pomekhen public security unit, tasked with emergency medical care of civilians, treatment of her unit during riots and combat, arresting criminals, and euthanizing criminals deemed too dangerous to arrest. On one mission in the middle of a riot Mira and her units commanding officer were cut off from the rest of her unit, trapped inside a building with an injured rioter. As Mira loaded a syringe with cyanide to euthanize the criminal her commanding officer drew her side arm on Mira and ordered her to treat the criminal, with the weapon trained on her she obeyed until the sounds of gunfire outside drew the commanders attention, giving Mira an opportunity to quickly inject her commander with the cyanide as the rest of her unit burst through the door. Mira fled the scene while her comrades were still in shock from seeing their medic killing their leader after appearing to have attempted to aid a dissident. Now a wanted criminal, Mira left the country on an illegal smuggling boat, and soon after found herself in need of funds to survive outside of her home country, soon finding work as a mercenary for an organization.

[AKunoichi]

Well, I'm actually considering scraping the pilot idea and playing another Badass Latina with a gun, because that's the character type I tend to have the most fun with.

Name: Maria Cortez
Nicknames: Mari
Played By: AKunoichi
Age: Appears to be late 20s, refuses to disclose her true age.
Nationality: República de la libertad (Tiny country between Brazil and Venezuela, too small to appear on the maps)
Specialty: Jungle warfare and close quarters combat. Skilled with an assault rifle, automatic pistol, Machete, and Capoeira.
Appearance:  A curvy dark skinned Latina woman who prefers to wear as little clothing and carry as much firepower as circumstances will permit.
Equipment:

• Tactical: A green bikini with integrated tactical gear pouches under the shoulders and along the waistband. Primary weapon is an HK416 with Beta-C mags and an under-slung grenade launcher, secondary weapons are a Machete (strapped to her lower back) and a HKUSP with a suppressor and laser sight strapped to her thigh.
• Concealed carry; A Red thong and white T-shirt. A fully automatic Glock is hidden in her purse, and a Karambit is hidden in her cleavage. if she needs more firepower, she tries to keep a duffel bag loaded with an AA12 automatic shotgun and hundreds of shells hidden in an accessible place.

History: Maria is the ex wife of the former dictator of Republica. Little is known about her past as she appears to have been a victim of human trafficking, however once she joined El Presidente's Harem of Amazonian Bodyguards, she quickly rose through the ranks to become his most favorite wife and most feared henchperson.  After his mysterious death, she and the Other amazons fled the country, searching for new lives. Apparently Maria has decided that mercenary work is the best fit for her skills.

[1SAZ]

Both Mira and Maria get my nod. I'm a very strong believer in the be who you wanna be mentality, so don't feel you need to fill a role just to fill a role. But yeah, both get my okay.

As for your idea Foxy, I feel bad for loving it as much as I do... Okay, I don't feel bad at all, but I feel like I should. I'm okay with this.

[Norsegod1839]

I agree with Foxi here!

What are you thinking plot wise Saz?

[AKunoichi]

Updated maria's gear a bit. Also should I change her name since it's too close to another characters?

[Foxy DeVille]

Hee hee... I had forgotten the wiki has a Girls With Guns category until I saw AK's gal. Some good stuff there... and some so bad it's good stuff.

Maybe we could keep Kitty around as an NPC. Having a pilot who may or may not be on heroin while flying fits the team.

[Hobbes1266]

Updated maria's gear a bit. Also should I change her name since it's too close to another characters?

As the player of the character with the similar name I don't mind, we could even play on it with people accidentally calling them by the wrong names on occasion.

[AKunoichi]

Hey!  created that category!

[AKunoichi]

Maybe we could keep Kitty around as an NPC. Having a pilot who may or may not be on heroin while flying fits the team.

I still maintain that an OV10 with the missiles and 20mm chaingun replaced with fuel pods is a decent transport aircraft, and ideal for smuggling, because of it's small size and short takeoff distance. The fact that it can be upgraded into a gunship is just an added bonus.

[1SAZ]

Plot-wise, it's going to be episodic with breaks between missions for interpersonal character development and side-plots. I'll have an overarching plotline introduced subtly in the first episode or two, but I'm keeping that more in depth plot to myself for the time being. *cue evil laughter and thunder*

Updated gear is fine AK, and if you'd like, you're welcome to keep Kitty on as a secondary character. Less likely to see constant action, but will see use amongst the team for sure. As for the plane, if you really want to keep the OV10, I'll need you to really sell me on it. It's not at all designed for transport but light recon and attack, so it's a bit tougher to justify for a non-governmental group to have one lying around.

I'm going to be putting up a character thread and introing you all to your team leader and boss (two separate characters just to be clear). Unless there's objection/a better suggestion, I'll be putting us in Bondage: Human Small Group. I feel like we have enough people to start with at least the Prologue episode I have planned within the next day or two.

[Norsegod1839]

That sounds good to me!

[AKunoichi]

Alright.

[1SAZ]

Time to meet the two women that will be running the show!

Your boss

Name: Caroline Waltz
Nicknames: Care-Bear, Ms. Waltz
Played By: 1SAZ
Age: 24
Nationality: German-American, No Citizenship
Specialty: Arms Dealer and Business Woman
Appearance: Caroline is a young woman in her early twenties, her bright red hair kept long and her bright blue eyes give her quite the look of femininity. Her body, however, is usually what people notice first, though she hardly minds. She keeps herself fit, though not quite to the standard of her team, so as best to accentuate her curvaceous figure. She wears business suits whenever working, tailored specifically to her figure, and comfortable, casual yet stylish clothes when off the job.
Equipment:
Walther PPK/S - Insisted by Kait
iPhone X cell phone

History: Born in flight on the way to Germany to a shipping mogul, Caroline has never been officially documented in any one country. With the name Waltz backing you, there isn't much need for official documents of your life, though. Caroline never wanted for a thing in her life, and for that, wanted the world. She became wise to the workings of the world at a very young age, when in Africa dropping off a shipment for her father and came under fire of a group of rebels. She was saved by her father's bodyguard as a bullet whizzed by her ear, leaving her with a very real idea of what it was that ruled the world. Caroline left Africa with a new plan, a plan to become the most powerful woman to ever enter the trade of arms, but that also meant danger. It was here that she decided she would need help, and began her research of the best and brightest she could ever hope to hire.

Name: Kait Rose Blom
Nicknames: Rosie the Riviter, Boss, Rose
Played By: 1SAZ
Age: 39
Nationality: Swedish
Specialty: Security specialist and tactician
Appearance: The woman the team knows as "Boss" is a gorgeous blonde who stands at an intimidating 6'1", her gilded hair a clear sign of her Swedish heritage. Her crystal blue eyes are kept covered by a pair of round glasses, which does lend to making her far less intimidating when she needs to blend in. Her figure is a mix of impressive curves and increadible physical training.
Equipment:
SIG P226 MK25 w/ Inforce APL
Bofors AK5C w/ Aimpoint Micro T1, 3x Magnifier, Inforce WML, Magpul AFG
SOG SEAL Pup
History: All that is really known about Kait is that she originally worked for the Swedish SOG, and eventually found her way into the employment of Caroline's father. She's known Caroline long enough that the two often make jokes that the rest of the girls don't understand, but their closeness lends itself to Kait's roll as head of security. Whenever asked about her past, Kait just says that she did some things and shot some people, and that's all there is to it.

[keyotess]

This sounds like it could be a fun game.  Here is my lady, thought the group could use a bomb expert. :)

Name:Tess Esposito
Nicknames:Bomba
Played By:Keyotess
Age: 25
Nationality: USA but she has Italian ancestry
Specialty: Demolition and Explosives Expert, small arms

Appearance: Picture and description if possible.  Tess is a tall, 5'10", Italian/American woman in very fit condition with long, wavy, brunette hair that hangs down to her mid-back.  She has the long, toned legs of someone who runs regularly.  She loves to wear loose clothing.  She often is seen in shorts, running shoes and a top that is opened at front which exposes the cleavage of her huge, firm breasts.
Equipment: Your general equipment as a PMC and Bodyguard.
Glock 17, extra clips
1 block of C-4 with detonators
1 block of Semtex with detonators
Cell Phone

History: How did you end up meeting your new boss and joining her team?
Tess was a police officer in New York City.  While serving as a beat cop, she earned degrees in chemical engineering and then earned a spot on NYC's swat team as a demolitions expert.  During an operation, her boss told her the wrong way to defuse a bomb, she got on the radio and overrode him, leading to the successful defusing of a series of bombs laid through the city, but at the embarrassment of her boss.  This would usually lead to medals and recognition, but her boss claimed credit for the successful operation and blamed Tess on the bad instructions.  Unfortunately he had the political power to make his lie stick.  Tess found herself fired and kicked out of the NYC police force with a bitter lesson about the power of male hierarchy and how desperate they would act to keep their power.  As she was carrying her box of personal items out of the station, Ms Waltz approached her and offered her a job.  She didn't hesitate to accept, and if she got the chance to blow up things that belong to men in power, even better.

[silentwalrus227]

Will this group remain freeform or is there a system of any kind that we’ll use during missions?

[1SAZ]

Looks great to me Keyotess.

@Silentwalrus227
I wasn't planning on a system initially, but if I do decide to do a system, I have one I'm tempted to use, but again, wasn't really planning on a system. It'll be guided freeform in that you'll say what you want to do, and I'll let you know how well you succeeded or failed. BUT, if I were to use a system, I'd use Genesys because it's literally the perfect story system in my opinion. But again, wasn't really planning on using a system. Yeah. >.>

I'll have the actual character thread up probably tomorrow after I get out of work, so if you have been accepted by me, feel free to post your character there after I post that thread (I'll link in this thread once it's up). Do spell check and typo checks around that time if you would be so kind. Thank you all in advance!

Last note before I head to bed: if anyone has questions or plot ideas, feel free to message me privately any time. I also have a prompt for you all; I'd like for each of you to come up with one personal secret for your character. Something that isn't readily known to the rest of the team. PM me those secrets. I'll be using them as the episodes progress, so be ready for that.

[AKunoichi]

I'll give a piece of warning that when i tried running something like this, one of the characters God Moded. You wouldn't think this would be a problem in a co-operative game, but they stole all the kills and didn't leave much for everyone else to do.

Of course, you were there so you should remember that.
