ATLA Modern Combat: NOW RECRUITING

[Disasterpiece]

Alright, so a few years ago on AP I wrote a fanfic with several AP members as part of a military unit fighting the firenation http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3600209/1/ needless to say I never finished it.

This RP/story basically revolvess around their exploits and battles n such. The catch is that this takes place within the ATLA universe in a modernized setting. Guns and such will be used, and technology resembling modern technology will be used, such as artillery, radios, etc. And yes I know this RP is rather unorthodox, but I figured to try something with a new twist there will be more emphasis on the plot and characters than with the aesthetics of it.

An example of how the story would go:

During the events of the Crossroads of Destiny episode, an Earth Kingdom battalion (us) is ambushed outside the city by invading Fire Nation forces out to head towards the city and regroup with Azula when she overthrows the kingdom. At the same time we would be fighting, Aang would be fightnig Azula. See what I'm saying?


For bending, I'm still thinking about whether or not this military unit will have benders, or whether it will be a mix of both benders and non benders. I would like to hear your input about that.

Also note, the events and locations occuring in this RP are all roughly in or near the same areas where the Gaang traveled in the series, such as the northern water tribe, the swamps, liberation of Ba Sing Se, Fall of ba sing se, etc. etc.

Another note: there will be no villains, just everybody on the same side. Though I might reconsider this. I will only be accepting a certain number of people, perhaps the same as the IRP

For now, if you are interested, sign up as such (by the way, reading and skimming parts of the fanfic i linked will be helpful to grasp an idea of what it will be like):

ex

[Name]---Captain Mathius (Boss)

[Age]---30

[Nation]---ex Fire Nation, now part of joint Earth Kingdom-Water Tribe forces

[Specialty]---Firebender, but more proficient with the M-4 assault rifle, M21-EBR battle rifle.

[Brief Biography]-----Conscripted into the Fire Nation army as a boy. Was involved against his will in the massacre of an Earth Kingdom village. Is a fugitive and runaway soldier. Spent three years fighting with other deserters and alongside Jet, carrying out guerilla warfare against the Fire Nation. Was caputured and inserted into a specialized brigade of deserters, warriors, Earth Kingdom, Water Tribe soldiers. Within a year, his accomplishments has resulted in his commission as an officer and leader of the 501st Division, "Green Bandits". A charismatic, bold, brave, and sometimes hot-headed leader, Mathius cares deeply about his fellow soldiers. It is his only family he has.

[Tours of duty] (your character can be a fresh recruit to the war or a veteran) Southern Earth Kingdom, Earth Kingdom Islands, Northern Water Tribe.

We need a little of each type of soldier. At least 2 medics and one radioman, 2 heavy machine gunners, and the rest are regular riflemen, or snipers if you wish.

If you would like to get a better feel for this RP, I suggest watching Band of Brothers or any war movie/show. As more people sign up, I will be more specific with the plot and characters, etc.

I UNDERSTAND MANY OF YOU ARE INVOLVED IN OTHER RPs, WHICH IS FINE. HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING IN THIS ONE ON A LATER DATE, POST (had to emphasize because i KNOW many RPs are going on T_T)

Brief bio: Chosen and set apart by the ocean and moon spirits from birth for the war against the fire nation. Best talent was always putting people back together, but never shied away from reversing his normal craft. Assigned to a mission to lend support to the crumbling Earth Kingdom, facing the enemy wherever necessary and tactically crippling Fire Nation expansion efforts while ideally rallying and mobilizing Earth Kingdom forces. Big task with little direction. His unit is expected to find a way to make it work.

As for what has happened to his squad since deployment, I leave to you.

[Count of Monte Fisto]

Name: Che-Kai "Mao's Killer" LeShen

Age: 54
Nation: Earth Kingdom

Specialty: Squad Commander, Tactics, Earthbending -for Trench Warfare and Gorilla Tactics, defensive and offensive use of C4 and Land Mines, is very dangerous in close quarter combat but is notoriously near sided.

Brief Bio: Che-Kai is a returned veteran after getting injured during his first time in service. He was a student bender that learned the art as a form of rehabilitation training. He became a scholar and had a family and rejoined the army when son was of age to join. Actions resolving in the death of his son changed his outlook and actions and Che-Kai was dismissed and arrested for taking matters into his own hands. Having his suspicions proven correct, he was reinstated as a lower rank. His outlook on life changed when he became painfully aware of the treachery and cowardice of some of the higher ups resulting in the death of his son. His demeanor has become increasingly stubborn as he becomes a rigid old man. He is now a man without regrets who fights a cruel war against his enemy. Before with a rigid sense of pride and honor, he has dismissed that with a more practical and cruel resolve. Now only concerned with the freedom and well-being of his own kingdom, he is capable of all the same atrocities as his enemies.

Tours of Duty: Che-Kai worked in defense in the Southern Earth Kingdom. As a rifleman in his earlier days, but sub par eyesight made him change his role. He always worked in the trenches, but with his earthbending, setting traps has become his main role.

Okay, I'm going to set the mood here, I'm probably going to edit it tonight to add rules and stuff, but again, just setting the mood [ANY RANK CHANGES SHOWN HERE ARE SET IN TIME BEFORE YOUR FINAL RANKS WHEN YOU SIGNED UP, TO WHEN THE RP PICKS UP]
========================================
Blackness. That's all Mathius remembered. Blackness and light transitioning. His disorientation was getting the better of him. He didn't feel pain or shellshock, he knew what that felt like. He heard seemingly muffled voices yelling at him. Soon, the sound morphed into the sound of a boat engine.

Mathius woke up with a jolt as the noise stopped. He took a minute to look around. He was in a small troop carrier with his new squadmates, some fresh from the meat grinder, others veterans of battles prior. The small red light on the ceiling was the only source of brightness as he stretched. He was sitting next to Corporal Shultz and across from Cadet Kip, the medic of the group. Sitting next to him was Pvt. Gonzalez. Engineer LeShen was also present, with that unique hundred-yard state in his eyes on long trips, the kind Mathius grew accustomed to when they first met. They were due to meet a WaterTribe medical officer, by the name of Grant. Moments later, the boat hatch opened up and in came cold air.

"This is the Northern Watertribe all right." Mathius said begrugingly. Standing up, he said aloud, "Saddle up, guys. We're to rendevouz with Medical Officer Grant onshore." Zipping up his white arctic camo parka, he climbed the ladder and was awed at the ice walls of the Northern Water Tribe.

Hope it's not to late for me to sign up.

[Name] Ollie ‘OutLaw’ Guarnere
[Age] 26
[Nation] Southern Water Tribe
[Specialty] Light Machine-Gunner. Uses a 21E LMG and a USP .45. He also has suppresser for the USP which comes in handy every now and then; don’t ask how he got his hands on it though; you’re better off not knowing. He’s also got a knack for breaking into and hot wiring vehicles which pairs nicely with his superb driving skills.

[Brief Biography] Guarnere sticks out like a sore thumb from the rest of the squad, partly because of his southie complexion and partly because of his prison tattoos. While he’s never said why he served time it’s rumored he’s an ex-enforcer for the Southern Tribe Mafia, and while there’s nothing to confirm this rumor Guarnere never bothered to deny it either. Whether the rumors are true are not Guarnere is constantly in and out of the brig; mostly for ‘requisitioning’ company supplies without authorization.
