CHARACTER SIGNUPS - TLM Chapter 1 Interest [Both Combine & Rebels]

[Robert]

______

“I still remember it… the day that Overwatch was seemingly on edge. As distant gunfire rained out in the City, the people's eyes already spoke that they all knew what was coming- and before anyone could say a word, we watched as our fellow humans brought the City down to its knees. Even the loyalists who would normally happily kiss the boot were now showing a hint of a smile, though some doubted if this path… was truly the correct one.”

~ A Citizens account of the C24 Uprising

Summary (All that has happened so far):
You have managed to fight your way through Industrial 24. You have hunkered down in the cold lands of the Earthquake remnants. You have managed to investigate and then retreat from THETA, stealing a Combine razor train that had arrived upon reactivation of security system. While you may have not yet found a home to settle, this will be your chance to do so before the push into City 24.

Many are uncertain about the future that lies ahead, many unsure if the Combine at this point is even worth defeating. But thanks to the data you recovered from THETA and the train- you are slowly understanding that not all is lost. As you approach the City, the sounds of gunfire rain out, distant explosions- smoke rising in the far distance as Combine radio comms are nothing short of chaotic. Multiple districts have already been lost and the Combine is being pushed back one by one. The Transhumans following you were merely stray forces ordered to capture you upon their return to City 24... but they FAILED. Only one person was captured in the end, the other was a SPY who was almost accidentally captured by the soldiers, but left alone.

This eventually led to the Spies downfall.

You have made a few friends... and a few enemies. Tis was to be expected, but all is not so bad in the end. Earthquake... despite their commander not allying themselves with you, their members went with you and thus you have succeeded in partially gaining their support and now have access to a Mekerva for ground support. A powerful ground tank. The 51st Conscripts... despite your differences, you have set them aside and in turn they have offered you their full support including a mix of artillery and air support, alongside some Recon vehicles.

Race-X... an ally that was possibly never even designed to work out? The words of the Vortiguant that spoke to it were taken to heart and it did think the group was possibly competent but in the end felt offended by your leader and took off. Dissatisfied with your answer. They will be hostile to you if present in City 24. This is perhaps for the best.

Amongst other groups, your fame and notoriety has reached City 24 and many local groups will support you upon arrival. Though they may not do it for free, so prepare to pay up if ever required.

A 3-way war has begun between the Resistance, Combine and Race-X all vying for control of the City, a stalemate reached. It is your chance to break it... but do note- some may lose their lives on this mission. A time will come when a choice must be made of who should live... and who should perish in a blazing glory.

You may sign up by posting on this thread below

Actor/Standard Roles - Please pick one of the following when registering - WL holders have priority

Civil Protection - All ranks welcome (Ꝏ)​

The Units of Civil protection of City Twenty-Four or Industrial 24. These units in particular have no loyalty held with the Combine. Whether you choose to join the Resistance in their quest or sabotage the group is up to you. You can be either friend or foe. And do not worry about being PK'd randomly by Rebel players, this will not occur as would be counted as an act of RDM if done without proper character conflict and reasoning.

Conscripts - All ranks welcome (Ꝏ)​

The Conscripts choosing to fight the Combine once and for all, naturally holding no loyalty to the foe that has pushed them around for so long and in some cases threatened them with death for the sake of missions. Amongst them is the NCOs and COs, the only people who can call in Airstrikes/Artillery support during the assault.

Standard Resistance - Citizens, Loyalists, Rebels all welcome (Ꝏ)​

The members of the Resistance. Not playing any particular role and are just doing their job. Made up of ex-loyalists, citizens and true Rebels. Doesn't really matter who.

Vortigaunts (Ꝏ)​

Vortigaunts who have chosen to follow the group into the final battle of C24. While technically defying their pacifist nature- it should be noted they have chosen to go against their core values this one time with permission of their tribe all for the sake of potentially securing a safe home to live on for at least a few decades to come.

Vortigaunt - Grand Elder (0/1)​

The Grand Elder, a key piece for one particular part that will need to see them used with the rest of the Vortigaunts. They can play throughout the chapter as long as not using any crazy powers/abilities.

ACTORS/EVENT:

OTA Soldier (2/12) - Part 1-3 Only​

Standard Soldiers of the Transhuman Arm. Not much needs to be said, but they will guard their position until their very last breath. YOU DO NOT NEED AN OTA WHITELIST TO PLAY

OTA Elite (1/6) - Part 2-3 Only​

Overwatch Elites... the best at what they do is both guarding key positions and targets... as well as killing Rebels. Extremely strong targets. Can call in OSA assistance in extreme cases where the Combine overwhelmed- But must use this call extremely wisely as only 4 STORM (Player) units will ever show up. YOU DO NOT NEED AN OTA WHITELIST TO PLAY

Hostile Civpro (1/16) - Part 1-2 only​

Civil Protection who have not lost their allegiance to the Combine just yet, still fighting against the Resistance whether to ensure the safety of Civilians or to further their own goals... or just pure psychotic. BTW... you can join the Resistance after if it fits your characters arc and you survive. YOU DO NOT NEED AN CP WHITELIST TO PLAY

A'Shriari (Imperator Rad-X) - TAKEN​

The Advisor, main antagonist of the TLM series... nothing more needs to be said. Its a Advisor with goals of its own in wishing to wipe out the Resistance, even if it means using up ALL of its pawns. It will stop at nothing to kill you all.

Workers​

Loyal to the Combine or not, these workers work away in the -REDACTED- and must ensure its stability and survival. They are only present during Part 3-4 of Chapter 1.

CLASSES - PLEASE ALSO PICK ONE OF THE FOLLOWING (STANDARD ROLES)

Medic (2/8) - Picking this class means you are the ONLY people who can revive players out of their near-death states. No other players except you can revive anyone on the field. Making you CRITICIAL to the groups survival. Playing this role requires you to play as a team member can save your comrades where possible- if you refuse to play your class and take the slot, you will be auto-removed and someone else will gain your spot.

Technician (1/4) - Picking this class means you are the ONLY people who can hack terminals, bring down forces, use C4 and naturally repair the one tank you have. You are quite Important as if the players lose you, they cannot use certain pathways or get up to advantage points without you- or some strong improv at least. So don't die.

Crewman - Mekerva (0/4) - So... you drive a tank, the Mekerva. Don't rush it in and lose it, your job is support. You support the 'Infantry' that is everyone push back against the Combine. Don't waste the only tank you have.

Standard Fighter (Ꝏ) - Pretty much everyone else. Nothing is special about you. If above slots are full, you will be moved to this class by default.

  ________________________________________________________________________________
  
  lights out, lights on. felt like a minute long nap yet it has already been a whole night in those rusting bunk beds. ever since my mother decided that i wanted to exist on the 12th september 1979, in which my father was mostly absent as he cheated on my mother with someone else. very depressing childhood indeed, extra worse because i lived in fucking bulgaria out of all places. but, regardless of that i put on the stained boots that i wear every day almost twenty four seven after i enlisted four months ago, first being stationed in city seventeen before i was abruptly transferred to trauma three garrison in twenty four. kevlar vest, stunbaton and utility pad clipped onto the tightened utility belt secured around my waist, put on the mask and that drained face of mine is covered by a completely emotionless mask, and so shall it be until they come for us next.
  
  through the barren and claustrophobic nexus halls i go, multiple thoughts run through my head:when will they come for us next? surely we are more equipped than the other garrisons, the citizenry wouldn't stand a chance against us, we got the transhumans, synths and advisors on our sides right? we'll be okay, it will be okay. i thought to myself, it will be ok, surely the more advanced forces have our back, right? it will be okay, it will be okay. we will be okay.thoughts stopped as i entered into the medbay, the usual workplace for me, just more medical supply sorting, the other tedious tasks that the division leads have asked us to do, i've done more chores than proper treatment, usually only for a singular cop because a идиот who decided that stabbing a cop was a good idea, glad that we're sorting these individuals out of the civil workforce one by one. the rank leader in charge of the revitalisation division wanted me in badly, mostly because i have a master of surgery and doctor of medicine degree, and that before i decided that the perks of civil protection were really worth it, i was apart of the civil medical union as a surgeon.
  
  the revitalisation tasks are done, mindless chatter coming from tac-3 as i stroll through the lower-levels of the nexus, and then the thoughts start flowing in again like an opened dam: they already took down the industrial garrison, they're heading for us next, aren't they? no it can't be, we will be okay, we're not like the other garrisons, right? we will be okay. i just know it that it will be okay, the transhumans and advisors have our back, they're powerful enough, right? we've stopped anti-civil incurisons numerous times, this one won't be like other, right? it will be okay, we will be okay, we won't end up like the industrial garrison, we won't end up like the twenty seven garrison, we won't end up like the seventeen garrison, right? we will be okay
  
  we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay, we will be okay,
  IT WILL BE OKAY.
