 THE WAR ZONE MEME



WARNING: Meme will contain TRIGGERS, including war, violence, capture, and general uncomfortable content. Please do not click if you don't want to see, and please respect your fellow role-players.

◊ Post with your character with name and canon. 
◊ List any preferences(roles, scenarios, time periods, etc.) you have.
◊ Reply to others! Roll using random.org or choose your prompts.

ROLES

1) The General/Admiral: You're the head honcho, the guy in charge. You have hundreds, maybe thousands of lives resting on you. What decision will you make?

2) The Officer: Not the leader, but you've got responsibility for your crew. What's your specialty -- independent initiative? Insubordination? Or do you let the noncoms walk all over you?

3) The Soldier: Just an ordinary soldier with your pike, or rifle, or energy gun. Your job is to follow orders. But when it comes down to it, when you look the enemy in the eye -- what will you do?

4) Spy: Dressed in civilian clothes, disguised as an enemy officer. Your job is to get as much information as you can, and then get out. Or are you going to sow a little chaos and destruction along the way?

5) Civilian: This is your land that's being fought over. Do you support a side? Do you hide, or do you hold steady in the face of such violence?

6) Other. 

SCENARIOS

1) Battle: In the middle of the fighting.

2) Downtime/R&R: A few peaceful moments, to spend as you will.

3) Sabotage: Something's gone terribly wrong. A factory blown up, a bridge destroyed, an assassination. What do you do about it?

4) Planning: How do you go about storming that beach?

5) Capture/Rescue: The enemy soldiers have you surrounded. Or maybe you're on a daring mission to break your buddies out of jail.

6) Other. 

TIME PERIOD

1) Ancient times: Grab that centurion's helmet, form up into a phalanx, and let's go crush those Gauls and/or Persians!

2) Medieval times: Suit up in your armor, grab a lance and make sure to bring along your squire.

3) Revolutionary times: Basic guns and muskets, very little medical care, and very little tactics. Give the other army a few days to dig in, and they'll hold you off forever.

4) World War I/II: Technology is advancing, and warfare is more sophisticated than ever. Remember the trenches, the skirmishes in cities, the spies and the drama.

5) Modern times: Guerilla warfare, modern tactics, modern technology.

6) The future: Ray guns? Space battles? Let your imagination go wild.

7) Other.

"Do you trust him to stop them at a bottleneck all on his own? Don't know many soldiers who could pull that off, and I'm the one in the thick of it if things go to hell." She had a strange look on her face while she posed the question, a look that hinted at far more understanding than she should have. She wasn't cleared by his side, he wasn't cleared by her side, but the fact of the matter was that Natasha and Mike would be the ones to pay the price if things went sour. They were the boots on the ground. It was easy to assign value to information sitting behind a desk. Far trickier in the field. "Because if you're sure, we won't need extra troops wasted along the ridge. I can keep them moving." She did not offer details as to how.

"Depends. Do we want bodies to interrogate or do we just want 'em dead? He's best at just plain dead."

So was he, for that matter. He'd went through his share of interrogation techniques, he'd been tortured to prove that he could stand up under the pressure, but none of that meant he had the stomach to do it himself. Dead was easier. Dead was simple. Dead didn't mean suffering. Dead was just dead.

"He might be able to grab... I'll say a couple, instead of killing them, but for that to be really workable, we'd need a personnel list to know which ones would be the best to grab."
