Tale of a Doomed Legion.

[Sierra117]

Hello there!

So, this is my first request thread and it's an idea that has been rattling around in my head for a very long time. This post is going to be detailed, so do bear with me! If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. I would prefer to leave the thread open for people to say they want to participate in this game, not for questions. If I have enough interest I can create an OOC thread with a list of the most asked questions (an FAQ to start, how fun!). Anyway, let's get down to it!

The Story
It is the year 2044. The world is no longer the safe place it used to be. The rise of China, the re-emergence of Russia as a superpower and the middle-east banding together in an EU like state has put pressure on the EU, now more of a country than a symbolic union and the United States, along with the supporting African countries who rely on them for aid. Anything can throw the world into war, the UN is tettering on the brink of failure and groups of countries have banded together, liberal ideals against totalitarian regimes.

With the world on the brink of another war, the US and the EU's best and brightest in their respective armies came together with an idea; to create super-soldiers in the case a third world war did break out. The pick 10 candidates, all 6 years old, bar one, a 4 year old orphan. All of them (with the exception of the 4 year old) have amazing genetics, making them perfect candidates for the program. The four year old shows remarkable intelligence and an amazing aptitude for strategy. The 9 are taken, replaced with conditioned kids who die a year later and are raised, along with the orphan, in a secret army base, each trained in different specialties. Sniping, explosives, strategy, each child was trained to be exceptional in a different component of war, as well as being exceptional field operatives.

Now, at the age of 18 (16 in the orphans case) they are ready to be tested. In groups of 3, they are sent out into the field, performing espionage for the EU and US governments. What the higher-ups in those respective armies don't know, however, is that these kids will lead the world to a new conflict and those 10 will be vital in ensuring it doesn't go the wrong way.

Characters and General Details
So, if that interested you then let's talk about what this will entail. The 10 characters will be played by me and hopefully 9 others, if we get less than I would have no problem with myself and the rest playing multiple characters. There will be 5 male and 5 female characters, each with their own traits and speciality, which you can find below. I won't name or describe those characters as whoever picks them should do that. I also have no problem with which character I play, more details can be found below on how the game will play out
The Orphan-Strategy
Other 9 characters
Engineer
Explosives
Medic
Pilot
Chemicals
Heavy-Duty Weapons
Artillery
Infiltration
Sniper

The crux of this will be that there are 5 teams of two, each consisting of one male and one female, who will be give tasks during each stage of the war and in each battle. However, every character apart from the orphan will, at some stage, die. Yep, it's war and it wouldn't be realistic unless even some of the main characters bite the dust. They will die at set intervals in the orphans life. If this goes well there will be a second game with 10 different characters plus the orphan. Now, if anyone wants more details please PM me or if you are interested stick your name below! I'll edit this more soon!
