INTEREST CHECK - The Gate to Victory.


Ooorah marine! Welcome to the 141st Mechanized Infantry Task Force. A supply Sergeant walks up to you carrying 35 pounds of gear and he shoves it all into your arms.

"Take care marine. You've been assigned to A company and its commanded by a nerve-racking Captain. Oh and also, when you're on the other side of the wire, becareful of the Suities (Marine Slang for the enemy they're facing like Skinnies and Etc.) Because I heard... Conditions on the field will be like Iow Jima all over again but perhaps five times worse! Anyways... Good luck and hope to see you at the end of your 24 month tour of duty. Ciao!" The man says before he gives you a good shove towards the direction of your Company.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Welcome to the 141st! More Specifically... Alpha Company. It's commanded by a cranky 40 year old woman who is an experienced, seasoned war fighter with a total of nine deployments under her tabs with the current one being her tenth. Do as you're told, you'll have a happy life and likely... Survive the next 24 months, go against her commands... Well... Good Luck, I hope you wrote you final letter home to mommy.

Alpha Company Composition:
1x Command mod. M2 Bradley
11x M2A2 Bradleyes
2x M1A2 sep. V2 Abrams
1x M113 Troop Carrier

Your Commanding Officer:
Captain Jennifer "Moody" Matilda

Description: Captain Jennifer Matilda is an experienced and well seasoned war fighter with a total of 9 tours of duty under her tabs through her 20 years of service in the Marine Corps. She is an especially Moody marine (like her nickname suggests) and often, she'll get cranky very easily she shit happens and it was within her control to prevent the it from happening.

She doesn't have and medals surprisingly, not even a purple heart meaning so far in her entire career, she has never been hit even once! She is one damn lucky bitch! All she has is a few tour ribbons and that's about it... She's no war hero or some war hero wannabe. She's just a plain cranky marine officer who wants to unfuck this world as much as she can. She is cranky all the times because stupid shit is happening all around her. She's been in the Gulf war, she's been to Iraq and Afghanistan, and every time she is cranky because she knows some idiot out there in the world decided to voice their opinions a bit too much and got stupid with it. Now, she gets called in to give whoever idiot, a proper Kindergarten lecture. It's her job, she gets it. But really, she would honestly prefer sitting Garrison than going over the wire. When she does, you're in for one bad bad time.

Jennifer is most of the times "nice" and "understanding" to her company but she does have a few things that get on people's nerves, especially the men. Firstly, on every deployment, if she finds out condoms have been issued, she will confiscate them from you! Nuh uh, no unsafe fraternizing during or after work! Secondly, she always goes through every crate of MREs the company is issued and picks out the ones she likes. For example, Chilli and Mac, Chilli's with Beans, Cheese Tortellini, the good chow you won't really get sick of after eating it over a period of 24 days straight. You'll be very lucky to be handed one of those during chow time because it's likely Jennifer overlooked the bag during her MRE scans. Oh and also, don't let her catch you with a stick of Charms, I know they're delicious in civilian life but she'll kill you when she's sees one in your hands.

In contrary, there are a few things you can like her for. Firstly, Jennifer makes sure her company is well supplied with the essentials, especially ammo, you always have something to shoot, don't worry. There'll always be something for you to eat, don't worry. Secondly, she's very protective of all of you, meaning as long as you follow what she's telling you to do, it's highly likely you'll live through the next 24 months. Thirdly, she is very understanding of her soldiers. After 9 tours of duty, she's become an amateur at identifying your inner turmoils and will happily talk with you if you want one. Tell her everything that is bugging you, better let it out than have it grow inside of you till it explodes. She's a good listener even though she always looks Moody.

Nickname(s): Eva
Age: 24
Gender: Female (you forgot this one Cadence)
Years of Service: 2 Years
Rank: Corporal/OR-4
Specialty: Designated Markswoman
Appearance:

(Just imagine her in standard USMC Combat Gear alright? Though -minus the elbow pads and the cap and different shorts- that's what she wears under her uniform.)

Personality:
Eva could be described as "Cold", as she rarely ever talks to anyone, always spending time in her bunk either cleaning her rifle or practicing piano, rarely ever going outside; Though if she does go outside, you'll see her wandering, notebook in hand, mumbling something, then writing on her notebook, then repeat.

She's a very accurate shot, perhaps the most accurate someone can get, and by far one of the lucky ones, as she's never been hit before (a bullet did graze her once.), she's been known to follow orders, though she hasn't disobeyed an order yet, she's willing to disobey an order if necessary.

Short and simple: Her entire Family (Son, Daughter, Husband, Mother, and Father) are dead, which drove her to distance herself from others.

[Gremory]

Name: Kusanagi Tajima
Nickname(s): Ace (short for Asclepius, greek god of medicine)
Age: 26
Years of Service: 6
Rank: E-5 Sergeant
Specialty: Medic (Gunner while inside the tank)
Appearance:

Personality:
Kusanagi has no real qualms with killing so he is often looked down upon by other members of his unit. He isn't exactly cold but nice isn't the right word either. Kusanagi is often seen smiling, in combat and out of it. Even though he looks inviting and friendly, Kusanagi is sarcastic and often quite rude, sometimes not meaning it he often does it on purpose.

Kusanagi is the medic and very good under pressure. He has saved many of his friends' lives due to his quick thinking. This however often makes him short with people who are new and make rookie mistakes, rather having them hate him instead of committing a fatal mistake.

Short History:
Kusanagi had an uneventful early life. He moved to the US when he was 10. His father was a businessman and his mother was a stay at home mom. A very uneventful childhood. He got decent grades throughout school but wasn't very interested in what the school taught. He would have rather been in the gym. Because of his love for exercise and physical sports he got interested in the Army. He decided to join when he learned that they offered to pay for your college while in the service. He has since earned his bachelor in Psychology and is still within the USMC.

Weapons:
M16A4 (With ACOG and forward grip)
M1911A1
OKC-3S Bayonet (Able to put on m16a4 when necessary)
AN-M18 Smoke grenade (x2)
Mk 141 Mod 0 Hand Grenade "flash-bang" (x1)
M67 Hand Grenade (Fragmentation) (x1)

Gear:
Standard Medically field equipment

Habits:
When Kusanagi gets nervous he can't help but fiddle with something, whether it be pumping his foot, pacing, or just flicking his lighter on and off.

He smokes but not heavily, only having one or 2 a day with the exception of combat situations.

 

[t0l]

Name: Tal Yahalom

Nickname(s): Underscore

Age: 27

Years of Service: 3 (USMC), 30 months (IDF)

Rank: Lance Corporal (E-3)

Specialty: 1812 M1 Tank Crewman (Loader)

Appearance:

(older image of him in IDF uniform)

Personality: Mildly spiritual. With his experience comes the ability to keep it calm, cool, and collected during stressful situations, and overall desensitization to warfare and the daily grind have made him more of an apathetic individual. Speaks relatively good English for a non-native speaker.

Short History: Born in Israel and conscripted at the age of 18, he served as a Merkava crewman for the mandatory 30-month military service period, during which he participated in a retaliatory offensive against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza strip. During this time, the tank he drove engaged several hostile targets, including RPG and ATGM teams. To commemorate their first engagement during the offensive, he decided to draw a tally mark on his helmet, although due to combat-related stress, lack of sleep, or just plain stupidity, he had oriented the helmet in his lap so that the tally mark looked more like a dash when worn. From then on, he was given the nickname "קו תחתי", Hebrew for Underline or Underscore.

He separated from the IDF after his 30-month conscription period ended, remaining and working in Israel. One day, he decided to move to America, and chose enlisting in the Marine Corps as an M1 Tank Crewman as a method of fast-tracking his way into American citizenship. He is currently on year 3 of his 4-year contract.

Weapons: M4 Carbine w/ AN/PEQ-15, ACOG, vertical foregrip, sling, and stock pouch for spare magazine. Carries an OKC-3S bayonet on him as a melee option. Not issued a sidearm.

Habits: Enjoys eating sunflower seeds in his spare time as an alternative to "cancer sticks".

 

[Adam Sakamoto]

Name: Adam Sakamoto

Nickname(s): Samurai

Age: 26

Years of Service: 2 (USMC), 4 (JSDF)

Rank: OR-4 (Corporal)

Specialty: Rifleman, weapons familiarity

Appearance:

Personality: Whilst he is a calm, and mostly quiet type of individual, He is not that much of a talker to people he does not know, but if you get to know him and befriend him, he would make himself to be a good friend, willing to take a bullet to protect those he feels are good friends, he has a strong scene of justice, looking to protect his country, as well as hoping to aid those whom require assistance, He is sociable and kind to the weak, is willing to stand up to the strong, even if he would be injured, he stands to his principal of 'no better friend, no worse enemy' whilst he is kind to those he knows, if you wrong him, harm him, his friends, or his country...he will make it his mission to end your life.

Short History: At 26 years of age, he serves within the USMC, transitioning to the role of service after running a 4 year stint with the JSDF, Seeing the same things day after day, he himself,more or less the 'child of two countries' so to say, transferred over to the American branch after his father's insistence, saying that if he remained within the JSDF he'd 'not see any action if left to being a guard', so with those words he had transferred over, and to which, yes, he did see some action, just as his father had said, and yet, even with that, it had hardly changed this young man, what he had to do, is what he thought was right, He serves as a rifleman of his squad, yet when not busy, he takes it upon himself to maintain his own, and if asked, to perform some maintenance on his squad's weapons if required, due to his studying of various types of weaponry that interest him, both for the history, and for the mechanical complexity that causes such weapons to work.

Weapons: M16A4 (R0901 Safe/Semi/Auto lower), fitted with a Eotec red dot atop the pitcanny rail, but with BUIS fitted and folded down encase the red dot is rendered un-useable

M1911 (one he built from armory parts, 1918 colt frame, 1942 Remington Rand slide and a mix of other parts, fitted together by his own hands, a project he worked on, and carries it as his sidearm)

M7 Bayonet (To be fitted to his M16A4 when needed.)

4 x M67 Fragmentation Grenades (carried on his left side waist belt)

Habits: He mostly spends his free time working upon various weapons he can get his hands on, enjoying maintaining and learning about said items, or, if really bored, will open a manga that he has stuffed down within his web gear, though the one he carries he has red atleast a dozen times, it still gives him something to do in his down time if nothing else to do.
