Promise Nothing Deliver Less
The year is 2018. It has been four years since the SOP system collapsed. With it went the five largest PMCs in the world. The war economy waned like a full moon, diminished but not gone. These three events are clearly linked, but the exact correlation is cloaked in mystery. All the public knows is that, when SOP was destroyed, a miraculous golden age of technological advancement began.
Cybernetic augmentation and gene therapy became affordable to most nations and companies, sparking a new leg of the constant arms race plaguing humanity. Though ID control and weapon control are a thing of the past, private military companies found a new way to control their soldiers: cybernetics. People swapped their organs and limbs out for company-sponsored cyborg parts, literally linking their lives to their company's.
Many PMCs chose to invest heavily in cybernetic augmentation and rose to fill the gap that Outer Heaven left. Wasp Sting is but one of them, and it is with them that you have found employment. You, alongside many others, have replaced your body and your mind with company property; try not to disappoint your superiors.
Have you ever wanted to experience the grip of the war economy? Have you ever wanted to find yourself thrust into dire situations with no clear victor? Have you ever wanted to fight strange and eccentric foes with cutting-edge technology, using nothing but your ingenuity and what military hardware you can procure on-site? Have you ever wanted to engage in some espionage, but didn't want to be forced to avoid combat? This RP is for you!
Requirements: You must be able to work in a team. Inter-character conflict is quite alright, but the stakes are high if you fail. Basic mathematical skills and a good sense of strategy are just as vital. You may want to make your characters a bit light-hearted; nobody wants a whole team of Raidens. Don't expect victories to be handed to you, missions are going to be treated like a traditional tabletop game, with combat being actually decided by something other than the player's eloquence.
