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.

[It'd be a hell of a stretch to call him and Bucky friends, but they're had a few encounters here and there. Mostly of the 'hey nice arm, yeah you too' variety in between assignments. The problem with being a bionic operative at the top of your field, as they both are, is that there's rarely a need for two of them to be deployed on the same mission.

Still, he's exchanged more words than Bucky than any of the other guys, and that's why they pick him to be the one who talks to him. The war here in Rumekistan is almost over, and in the war that's about to come, no one knows which way Bucky Barnes is going to go. Sure, his government just turned on him (again), they've currently got him locked up nice and tight inside an armored car, and they're currently en route to ship him back stateside and make an example out of him, but the guy still fought beside Captain America in World War II. Maybe he thinks the Bionic Control Act they just passed is hunky-dory and he's perfectly okay with surrendering his arm to the whims of a scapegoat-hungry public.

Whatever the guy thinks, he'll know in a couple minutes. Kane and his fellow insurgents hit the truck like a hammer, three of them including him dropping in by helicopter, two others driving up on either side of the vehicle. The back doors that would thwart any human operative yield easily to his enhanced strength, and he swings inside first, shielding himself from the spray of bullets with his arms before dropping the men inside with merciless efficiency. His backup follows quickly behind him, and in seconds it's done, the men who just a day ago were their allies down and the truck secured.]


Howdy, Barnes. [Kane greets the bound man with a jaunty wave as he approaches.] You've looked better.

ezra_of_lothal: (Ezra lightsaber)

uuuuuh, would you like a timetraveling padawan dropped into the clone wars?

[personal profile] ezra_of_lothal 2021-05-02 01:13 am (UTC)(link)
Look, Ezra doesn't really know exactly what's going on. He's fought Clone Wars era droids still in operation before, and these don't seem nearly as inclined to stop and chat as those did. And there's a lot of them.

And that guy with the blue lightsaber is definitely a Jedi. In fact, he looks (and feels) strangely familiar...

It's not until the padawan has managed to slice his way across the battlefield with his own lightsaber that he gets a better look.

"....Master Kenobi?" But...he looks more like the message on Kanan's holocron, then the aging master Ezra had met on Tatooine. What the kriff?

would i ever!!

(( A lieutenant in the logistics forces of the Grand Duchy Army and relentlessly scrupulous accountant. Has seen a fair amount of shit due to visiting the wrong bits of frontline at the wrong times, but can't fight for beans.

The tone of her narrative is generally black or surrealist comedy revolving around insane levels of corruption, her technological era is basically 'ww2 if it was fought in the 60s', but I'm fine playing her in any scenario. ))
