Backstory:
December 31st, Year 2020 was the start of the war between the normal and the paranormal. Just as the western world was celebrating the eve of the new year, they attacked. During Times Square's annual ball drop and while shouts of "Happy New Year" echoed the area, the attacks commenced! The civilians of New York City were absolutely in shock and awe, due to the holiday letting the guard down. Unbeknownst to the supernatural forces, humanity would retaliate after a reeling assault. The armed forces across the world defended their nations from the attacks happening across the globe. However, despite dealing some damage to the enemy forces, they kept coming. Not even nuclear weapons stopped the otherworldly enemies in their tracks.
After grueling defeats in the name of species preservation, the UN realized that alone the nations cannot stop the threat. On August 1st, 2021, humanity formed a new line of defense. The elite, multinational, paramilitary team known as ParaCom (Paranormal Combat) was formed to act as the specialized line of defense against this threat. Thanks to heavy investments from the UN and all monetary sources, ParaCom has access to the top notch technology, science, engineers, and soldiers. The fate of mankind rests in their hands.

Here will be our OOC posts. Feel free to post up to three characters per player using the sheet as a template. I'm allowing three characters for now because...anyone can die!
Name:
Country of origin:
Specialty: Assault (Close Quarters Battle), Sniper, Support (Combat Medic), or Heavy (Large Weapons and Explosives) for now.
Appearance: (Description or picture, though a picture says a thousand words).
Bio: (At least a paragraph's worth.)
Personality: (Like bio, at least a paragraph's worth.)
NEWS AND NOTES:
*Those who sign up before the official RP posts are automatically promoted to Squaddie until further notice. Any questions? Give me a shout.
*Those who resign during the RP will have their characters at the mercy of the GM and co-GM(s). Consider yourself warned.
*As an open RP, you'll have to apply with a CS and be reviewed first before going into the action. Jumpers need not apply.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before we start, I'll post official rules so we can all enjoy the RP (other than site regulations):
1.) No power gaming or "god modding" because we want a modicum of logic.
2.) Game play and story will be integrated, so let's not try to break either one.
3.) No auto-hitting or called hits so we can be fair. This describes a fighting action whereby a character is attacking another character and ASSUMES to have hit them without the other characters response being considered.
4.) Have fun during the RP!
How the combat system shall work:
Like in XCOM, it is turn based. Game play mechanics will be lifted from XCOM such as cover, damage, etc.
An example: If you are aiming at a ghoul in low cover, the low cover reduces your chance to hit by fifteen percent. High cover is double that of low cover, and the accuracy depends on range and weapon. I am considering including skills to make game play unique as well as adding from other sources.
Heavy amounts of mathematics will justify the outcomes.

WARNING: THE RP MAY CONTAIN DISTURBING IMAGERY/IMAGES, GRAPHIC VIOLENCE, AND POTENTIAL TRIGGER WARNINGS. PLAYER DISCRETION IS ADVISED!
