Once word of the Operation had reached the units ear, they saw it as ample opportunity for ascending the ranks or other such rewards - perhaps a mere sense of adventure, albeit such would take a turn for the worst. Albeit in rather more a familiar landscape, something akin to what they had lived in during their earlier years.

  • Role (+Rank if Civil Protection/Type if OTA): i4
  • Did your character join the operation willingly, or was forced in (OTA excluded): Forcefully, was put into it due to his un-cohesive nature of assault caught and recorded by the Overwatch. It's a punishment to redeem himself back into the civil society of City-31. Whether he lives or not will not effect the Universal's Union demand in attention over him, he is more of a Conscript in a battle of sconed and scripted work.

    <:: DESIGNATIONAL DROPSHIP ::> DROPSHIP-TWO
  • Short (or detailed) character backstory:

    <::Charles Hunter, Also Known as HERO-20 is an officer that worked at City-31 for 2 years. His related ones lie dead in his eyes with his only remaining instincts is to join Civil Protection, with about nothing to lose his choices remain slim, and diced, either live in the horrid society of fear and labor. Or take the chances with the people who betrayed their own race. His death meant nothing to him anymore. In his own mind he feels as if the Combine have the rewards and chances of giving him something he so longed for, his family, this opportunity in his eyes seemed like only a gift given to a bastardized soul. But these rewards would soon change into a fight for fear and death, as HERO-20 got comfortable in his position in the Universal Unions eyes his strength and power got over him, in one way or another he assaulted one of his Civil Protection officers landing him charges of Assault, his reputation was ruined by this mistake, in the perception of other officers his un-cohesive activity could only lead to an uncooperative attempt, no officers would work with him. As his rewards are ruined and his reputation is destroyed, he was offered a chance of redemption. Join a deadly operation possibly resulting in his death but receiving the rewards he wanted. Or... Face the consequences and never receive his rewards leaving him for a possible amputation for his un-cohesive activity. Seeing as he had nothing to lose. He took it.::>

<:: ESTABLISHING SECURE DATABASE CONNECTION ::>

QLzp9LS.png



A group of Civil Protection officers from City Thirty-One finds themselves enlisted in a non-standard operation outside their sector. Either forced by their blackmarks or in pursuit of additional perks they are being shipped off using several dropships to the northern regions of Greenland. Their mission - reinforce a local garrison. All is well, until suddenly, one by one - their aerial transport comes crashing down. Whatever caused the damage is unclear, but without an OCIN connection, and stranded in the middle of a frozen wasteland several different problems quickly take priority. Just how the hell will they get back home? Will they even want to, after what awaits them?

<:: LOADING GENERAL MISSION STATUS ANALYSIS ::>

HtS486b.png




- ROLES -

Separated Overwatch Transhuman Arm [Whitelist Required] (2/2)
OWS - Shotgunner (1/1)
OWS - Standard (1/1)

Surviving members of the Transhuman Arm team. Due to the damage sustained in the crash, and the sudden severing of the OCIN connection, they find whatever slither of free will they had returned to them. Together with their considerably less augmented allies, they will have to survive through this harsh wasteland and somehow find their way back - or push the mission to its original conclusion. Whatever the idea is, nothing will be borne out of the operation if everyone is dead...

Civil Protection - "Wolf Regiment" [Whitelist NOT Required for i4+i5] (16/18)

i3 Slots: (4/4)
i4 Slots: (6/6)
i5 Slots: (6/8)

Handpicked officers from City Thirty-One, operating under the alias 'Wolf Regiment'. Originally sent to reinforce a mysterious Combine base established in the outskirts of the Northern Greenland region. It would appear only the leadership has been filled in on the exact details of this operation, with the lesser ranks being left oblivious besides the very basic information. After the sudden crash, they are left vulnerable, separated, and without leadership - in the middle of an unexplored frozen wasteland. To even see the light of another day, they will have to regroup, reinforce and think, think fast.
For they are not alone...
