Brief Disclaimer
This shouldn't be considered political in any way, I am simply using the situation in the middle east as a base for a future scenario. I know the likelihood of something like this happening is slim to none, it should be taken with a little creative license and a pinch of salt, in the way all creative works are. Please don't label it as unrealistic or anything like that, the whole point of this is it is a possible scenario, in a modern realistic setting, and one of the main factors is that the faction you will play as are entirely seperate from established governments etc so yeah.
Backstory
It is January 1st, 2020. The world has been plunged into chaos, stemming from the war on terror and the subsequent refugee crisis, the result of the destabilization of middle eastern and African countries. At the end of 2017, the Syrian civil war ended in a government-rebel peace treaty, and a free election. The election never happened. While the coalition pushed ISIS back in Iraq, they gained ground in Syria, gaining support from discontented rebel and government forces alike, unhappy with the outcome. Syria was overrun, and taken back into a state of civil war and anarchy. Next, with weakening support at home in coalition countries, and elections in the EU resulting in drastic policy changes, coalition forces began to weaken their military support in Iraq and the middle east in general. It was plunged into anarchy, the only states to survive were Saudi Arabia, Israel and Iran.
In 2019, several veterans of various nations militaries, banded together after seeing the futility of the fight their countries were pursuing. They chose a different path. They called themselves the Wardens, guardians of the weak, the powerless, and the persecutors of the unjust and immoral. They have shrugged off their old, national allegiances, in favor of a new one. The Wardens, elite warriors, formed from the core of most armies on the planet, with one goal in mind - peace through force. They see no other recourse, and they will give no quarter. These veterans, a small group of 20, had no base, little equipment and money, and no support. So they waited, and watched, timing their moment carefully. It came in mid 2019, when Saudi Arabia was attacked by insurgents, and on the brink of collapse. These men stepped in, now numbering 40. Through their contacts in their old militaries, the procured transport to the country and fought back the insurgency by using guerrilla tactics against them. After the battle of Riyadh, the insurgents were pushed back into the desert and adjacent countries. The Wardens pursued ruthlessly, hunting them down and taking their weapons, equipment and whatever money and supplies they could. After a month of this, they returned to the capital they had saved. They explained their predicament, and the Saudi's gave them money and arms, and a small plot of land in northern Saudi Arabia. A radical solution to a radical problem. Only the highest members of the worlds governments knew of their existence, and most ignored them, writing them off as a rogue PMC group, taking advantage.
The leaders knew now what they had to do. On their plot of land, they built a small compound, calling in whatever favours they could, begging and stealing for everything they could get. Now they have a couple helicopters, an arsenal of weapons and enough supplies to keep them going for as long as they need. They keep recruiting, and everytime they complete a mission they get more money, from locals donating to their services, from things they steal from the enemy and sometimes governments and groups donating, hoping they will be visited again by the Wardens.
Who are The Wardens?
The elite of the world's militaries, at the beginning of 2020, they number about 80 soldiers and 40+ support staff, ranging from mechanics and engineers to medics and pilots. You don't apply to join their ranks, you are picked by their recruiters throughout the world. They find you after exceptional gallantry, heroism and bravery. These values, coupled with the morals of wanting to do good, make you a Warden. They have a compound in north Saudi Arabia, and operate throughout the world, when they can get transport. They have two helicopters, and a dozen vehicles, mostly MRAPs and jeeps.
How the game will work
Thanks for reading this far!! So basically I will function as the game master for this roleplay, and I will decide what missions and opportunities become available, and I will describe the actions of the enemy for the most part. The players will be free to decide among themselves where to go, how to accomplish their objectives and what equipment they use. There will be many opportunities to forge relationships with constantly evolving factions in the world, gain funding and fight in varied environments. There will also, of course, be a massive emphasis on character interaction at the base and in mission, as the team will rely on eachother.
To you guys
Hi there thanks for reading this all. Basically just want to register interest, I really need like 5 people minimum because of the scale of this roleplay. It is essentially endless and limitless in scope, wit hso much possibility. Before I mock up character sheets and all that stuff, I want to make sure there is an interest in this kind of roleplay. Thanks, and any feedback is appreciated even if you don't want to partake in this. Please comment if you are interested
