Hey team!
Just had an idea that I thought could be a lot of fun. Yes, it's probably been done before, but I want to do it anyway. Why? Because we can do it better, and in a way where everyone gets to RP the way they want to. Keep in mind that this is just an idea at the moment, and will need more planning in the future. This is the concept I have at the moment.
Overview:
This is a mercenary battalion specialising in urban ops, long-range recon, zero g combat (ship breaching, orbital insertion), and all the Halo/Mass Effect style gangster s***. There will be an aviation/spacefighting squadron within the battalion, along with three infantry companies, a support company (think signals platoon, mortar platoon, engineer platoon, etc), and an admin company (think medical, transport, misc POG).
Mostly, the battalion will operate at the section and platoon levels. So missions and tasks will come through to platoon and section commanders from higher, resources will be allocated to them, and they will go forth and achieve the task. We may operate at company or battalion level in high scale invasions and whatnot.
Command Structure:
Battalion Commander (CO): Alen Na'Varro
Battalion HQ: 2IC (open), RSM (open), various LTs and CAPTs in specialist roles (open)
6 x Coy OCs: Rank = Major
6 x Coy 2ICs: Rank = Captain
6 x CSMs: Rank = Sergeant Major
15 x Pl Comds: Rank = Lieutenant
15 x Pl SGTs: Rank = Sergeant
45 x Section Comds: Rank = Corporal
45 x Section 2ICs: Rank = Lance Corporal
All pilots within the Aviation/Spacefighting Squadron will be LTs or CAPTs.
How this will work:
I will post missions on a missions board and allocate assets. Platoon commanders, section commanders, or whoever will take the mission and start a thread. They will complete it, post the link back in the OOC mission thread I started, and receive kudos. Promotions will happen. Medals and decorations will be given out. Monsters will be slain. Installations destroyed. Things will get messed up! It's a delineated command structure. I will outline my intent, and you will have the freedom to carry out the mission as you see fit within that intent.
Occasionally, the Battalion will get involved in Invasion threads and wreck face, when I'm around or one of the higher up personnel can take charge.
But Alen, all your factions fail due to your sporadic availability!:
Not this one. It's delineated from myself and doesn't require me for it to function. All I have to do is post a heap of missions up before I go away for three weeks.
Why should my character join?:
Fun. Character development. Medals. Shinies. The ability to say, down the track, my character was a part of _____ when _____ ... basically, IC reputation points.
Why are you in charge?:
Because I'm a power crazed maniac who thinks he knows what he's doing.
Detail your interest below so I know whether to start this or not. Questions welcome. Also, I need a cool name for this thing.
