Seeking field operatives for international assignments, minimum of four years military or police experience required. Exceptions rare but considered. Excellent pay and benefits. Tyr's Blade Security, Inc. (281) 555-5455
This is my second attempt at an RP, albeit with some more planning. This is Tyr's Blade, where five of you will play the parts of five veterans of some conflict or conflicts who decide it's time to get corporate backing. It didn't have to be legal then, and it doesn't have to be legal now, because if you're good then no one who cares will know about what you've done. If you do your job right, you could end up heroes. If you don't, you could end up... well, dead.
Intro will be posted once I have my five contractors. Any questions can be asked through PM or Twitter.

1. Follow forum guidelines. I'd rather not have someone kicked out for a stupid reason.
2. Act like a team. I do want all the characters to be badasses or otherwise awesome, but don't kill everyone in the room by yourself. Leave one or two for the rest of the team.
3. There is a Grammar Nazi living inside me. Please do not piss him off.
4. There is a difference between leading the team and controlling other characters. Tactically leading the team by mentioning that you all go somewhere, or someone is covering a corner, is acceptable, but don't have another character jump on a table and start dancing or make another character change their mind about a decision.
5. Don't ignore posts. If you're ninja'd, go back and edit what you put. If you see that someone was ninja'd, please wait for them to edit so that you don't mess anything up, either.

Name: Repzik (Real name Vidmir Svenk)
Age: 36
Gender: Male
Appearance: 5ft6 ,Small, stocky but muscular. white skined, Shaven head, Several stained crooked teeth. Grey-Black Camo Trench Coat,a Muffler (Gas Mask), and Gefechtshelm Combat helmet.
Equipment: AK-105 with Telographic scope (5 clips), PVV-5A Plastic Explosive (3 Charges) RPG-7 (4 rockets) Breaching charges (3 charges)
Notable Skills: Skilled at Snow, siege and Trench warfare, Close-Combat Assault Support, demolitions and Anti-Tank
Bio:Russia-born Repzik was formally in the Russian Army Forces, Signing up at the Age of 19, he experianced several Peace keeping missions over seas before Russias prolongued conflict with America over the Bering Strait, diomede Islands and Alaska.
The islands were turned into a brutal warzone as Repzik and the Russian military incaded Little Diomede and used the superior control straight to land into Alaska, here the War escalated as the Us army retaliated as the Russians reached anchorage. The two forces became dogged down in brutal Siege warfare as the Russians Invaded the city, Among them was Repzik here he would learn the skills of Siege warfare and Urban close-quarter combat,Both sides fought through the war torn streets for Days as they both dug in, resorting to Trench warfare and heavy artillary barrages, it was during this period that Repzik began Chain smoking, to cope with his nerves and the Poor conditions of the freezing trenches.
The next few years of the conflict would harden the Raw recruit into a hardened veteran of a decade long conflict as the city burned, Appointed as the Anti-tank Member of the squad Repzik would later take out several well armed Abrams tanks, humvee's and US bunkers over the course of the war, however this did not stop the tide turning as the American Forces counter attacked pushing the Russians slowly out of Anchourage, The casualties were heavy on both sides as the war progressed into its 15th year.
The situation was grim as the Americans closed in on Repziks divsion, The division dug in and fought on for 8 days, 8 days of fighting saw the regiment destroyed with negligible gains against the American onslaught, the remainding Soldiers of Repziks Torn division and the Russia Military retreated back to the diomede Islands once more, Here the long war Grinded to a halt. The American counter-attack had devestated the Russians but they did not capatalise on their gains, Nethier daring to Take a single step forward nor back, both sides had simply run out of steam but tensions still remain hot.
Repzik is a Grim warrior, realistic, simplistic, but humourous in his dire situations, his sarcastic joking nature was his shield against the Horrors he saw in the brutal Bunker by bunker, trench by trench warfare he witnessed and he continues to carry this defence mechanism with him.
Reason for joining: Tired of staring out at the frozen, War torn, state of Alaska and frustrated at how the conflict had gone. Repzik jumped at the chance to sign up for a corporation that would take him away from the Stalemate, the memories and more importantly, to get rich.

Name: Dominic Young "Jason"
Age: 37
Gender: Male
Appearance: Dominic is a fairly short man but not overly so with a saved bald head and only one ear. He has quite a few bullet holes over his chest and wears black military fatigues, a black bullet proof combat vest, large black combat boots with steel skulls on the toe, a balaclava and a black hockey mask with a red skull detail.
Equipment: Scoped FN FAL with 3 extra clips(Sling over his shoulder when not in use); P-90 with silencer and red dot sight with 3 extra clips and subsonic rounds(Cliped to his vest); Silenced 1911 with 2 extra clips(In leg holster); Binoclulars; Compass; 2 flash bang grenades; Survival/Combat knife
Notable Skills: Superb shot; Excellent melee fighter; Good at stealth missions; Very good a distracting the enemy; Incredibly luck (Read bio)
Bio: Dominic joined the armed forces when he was 18 and quickly worked his way to joining one of the best special forces units in the American army. He got the nickname 'Leprechaun' for his Irish background but that soon changed when he and his unit where sent to the conflict with Russia over the Bering Strait, diomede Islands and Alaska. While pinned down his head was nearly shot off by a Russian sniper, but luckily he triped on a rock and the bullet only hit his left ear completely destroying it. Unfortunatly this near death experience only gave him a worse nickname 'The Lucky Leprechaun' and he was determined to get rid of it for good.
As the Russians reached anchorage he and his unit were ordered to clear out a Russian controled building that they had been using to co-ordinate artillary barrages. Dominic, so determined to be rid of his nickname, charged straight into the building and was shot in the chest with a shot gun. He was taken to a medical building in time to save his life and when he told his unit why he had done such a stupid thing they gladly changed his nickname to 'Jason'(As in nightmare on Elmstreet. Which is the same name as the road I use to live on.). After that 'Jason' had little fear of dying and when the unit commander died Dominic was given his job.
Dominic lead his unit to many great victories that eventually lead to the Russians being pushed back to the diomede Islands. But Dominic was dishonorably discharged when he tried to lead his unit over to the Islands.
Reason For Application: Dominic was not yet done killing people and he had not yet gotten his wish to die in the field.

Name: Ex-Lieutenant Christine Ana Pierce, call-sign Huntress
Age: 30
Gender: Female
Appearance: Caucasian, 5'10", short blonde hair, green eyes. She has a scar on her left shoulder and a set of deeper scars on her left leg. Wears armoured USA fatigues, flak jacket and helmet.
Personality: In combat she fights on with grim determination to succeed, even if she has taken heavy wounds, but is cautious of the number of casualties she takes from her group. Off the battlefield she is charming, casual and can be seductive when she wants to be.
Equipment: Barrett M82A1A sniper rifle with three clip reloads (primary weapon); MP-7 and Desert Eagle with two reloads each; three frag grenades; short-ranged EMP-based disabling pistol; bomb defusal kit; sharpened throwing knife.
Notable Skills: Specializes in sniping, bomb defusal and hostage rescue when the need arises.
Bio: Christine was forced to retire from the US military after twelve years of service, when a faulty grenade tore her leg apart. She was removed from active service for a full year to heal and recuperate, and by that time another soldier had been promoted to replace her. Christine's twin brother, James Pierce, call-sign Blade, was killed by enemy action a year before the grenade incident. Her notable accomplishments include taking down the crew of a hijacked Abrams tank by sniping them through the peepholes, and single-handedly disbanding an entire renegade company known as the Company of Blood.
Reason For Application: Christine feels that she is fit to fight, but the US military said they "no longer needed her services, even though she is willing to fight," and dismissed her when she attempted to re-enlist. She had her weapons returned to her after she spent her time in medical care.

Name: Rose Masters aka "Eris"
Age: 28
Gender: Female
Appearance: 6'0" Caucasian blonde, usually in different varieties of leather jackets and fashionable trench coats with more cutesy tops underneath ready in case of the necessity for on-the-spot flirting.
Equipment: XM8 rifle, M320 Grenade Launcher Module, 3 Walther PPS concealable handguns, various knives, rope. always bring rope, two laptops, and various smaller devices and equipment.
Notable Skills: She specializes in under-cover and tech/computer work, but also has substantial firearms and close-combat training.
Bio: Recruited by the CIA at a young age for her computer skills(the official story was that she was at a juvenile detention facility for cyber offenses), Rose was given extensive combat training and prepped for undercover as the support for their cells throughout the world. She was everything they'd hoped for and more. She was an enthusiastic learner, and a regular chameleon in the field. However, the strain of such a difficult and uncertain lifestyle on someone so young soon began to take it's toll, and while her skill only grew, she began to develop a less than sterling reputation when it came to mental stability. Forced into an early sabbatical, she traveled widely, unbeknownst to her employers taking an odd job here and there to fuel her interest. Soon she abandoned her loyalties there altogether and used her skills to disappear, reemerging as a well-known gun-for-hire until solitary work began to grow a bit dangerous for her.
Personality: Rose is for the most part whatever the situation requires her to be. This hasn't led her personality to be very stable, but when she's "herself" she tends to be quick to react emotionally and unpredictable at best. Her tolerance for brooding or inaction is very limited, and she often jokes around or goofs off to mask how damaged she is.
Reason For Application: Desire for company and a pension.
