It is a time of immense conflict in the Terran Confederacy. The Confederates are surrounded on all sides by enemies :
The Sons of Korhal: a group of radical terrorists led by Arcturus Mengsk threatens to topple the Confederate government with his agents, terrorism and persuasion.
The Protoss: an alien race with highly advanced telepathic capabilities, and technology beyond current Terran imagination. The protoss are also fearsome warriors and instil fear into all but the most courageous and well trained soldiers.
And the Zerg: another alien race of a parasitic nature. Not much is known of the Zerg yet, as not many people encounter them and live to talk about it. The Zerg are known to instil fear into even soldiers courageous enough to fight the Protoss.
Thanks to their Heroes and their secret weapons, the Confederacy has been able to hold on to their territory with a clenched and bloody hand against this seemingly insurmountable force. Among those Heroes are the Hellhounds, an elite team of soldiers that have emerged victorious from some of the bloodiest conflicts in the history of the Confederacy.
"The mighty warriors of the Hellhounds have struck another blow to the terrorist organization known as the sons of Korhal. The soldiers have single-handedly lifted the siege on Antiga Prime. When asked how the operation went one of the Marines of the team had only this to say. 'We caught the bastards napping with their hands down their pants!' Shortly after the victory, General Edmund Duke, leader of the elite Confederate Alpha Squad, has commented that though the military hasn't located the base camp of the Sons of Korhal, it is only a matter of time. In other news..."

Welcome to the RP. The story starts just before the real start of the Great War. Joiners will be part of the Hellhounds, the team described above. I hope I did a good job of setting the stage. Fill out a character sheet and you can just start whenever. The story begins right where the news report is placing us. We begun on Antiga Prime celebrating an easy victory over the Sons of Korhal. (We will always be open to joiners. New members will just be a Marine from the squad that has been with us all along. You may also feel free to take on a non-Squad character on the side, just try not to get confused with too many.)

The rules are simple: The RP plays out like a written story, you guys write what your character is doing.
If you are adding something that is out of context with the story put 'ooc' before adding it (you can also put it in a spoiler box labeled as 'ooc')
Don't control other characters unless the user has told you otherwise;
Don't kill off characters unless the user or the RP leader has told you otherwise;
DO have fun.
I believe everyone knows this rule so I don't think I really have to say no God-moding. (I guess I just did though)
