1. #1Recherskselective

   Keys: Rechersk

   A small country in Eastern Europe bordering the Black Sea. The weather is fairly unpredictable. Summers are hot, winters are cold. Their beaches were once tourist hotspots, and the mountains were skiing meccas. Dense forests fill the majority of the distances between most cities. Environmental threats include storms, bears, wild boars, and rumoured cryptids such as the Leshy and Rusalka [from Eastern European folklore] haunting the forests and the seaside, respectively.

2. #2Turf War

   Keys: turf war, the war

   The origins of the turf war can be traced back to the deep-seated tensions between the RRF and the Recherskan government over control of Rechersk—a country scarred by conflict and political upheaval. That's according to the RRF, anyway.

   The mainstream story is that the whole thing kicked off because the government got too greedy and people got desperate. The RRF then showed up, promising change, freedom from oppression... But all they brought was more blood and tears; seemingly just another brand of tyrants.

   The tipping point came when an RRF offensive managed to seize key strategic points within Rechersk—their brazenness inspiring others to join their cause while simultaneously igniting ferocious reprisals from the CLD. What started as localized skirmishes spiraled into an all-out turf war with neither side willing to give ground nor quarter.

3. #3The CLDselective

   Keys: Crisis Liberation Division, CLD

   Rechersk's Crisis Liberation Division. Official armed forces. The "good guys." The CLD is tasked with fighting the RRF, defending secured territory, reclaiming lost territory, and protecting civilians. The CLD operates under rules, protocol, structure, and routine. In-fighting and fraternization are prohibited.

   Notable members in order of Seniority Mirovia, General Antonov, Lieutenant Colonel Redan, Independent contractor, formerly a Captain before leaving the CLD Coldfront, Captain Slate, Petty Officer First Class Rebound, Sergeant

4. #4The RRFselective

   Keys: Rechersk Retaliation Front, RRF

   A small but growing loosely organized army currently fighting for territorial control against a larger, stronger force [the CLD]. Initially just a group of rebels with little more than shared grievances and makeshift weapons, their ranks swelled as stories spread about their daring raids against CLD forces. The RRF gained notoriety for their ambushes, sabotages, and hit-and-run attacks—all aimed at undermining CLD's superiority. They use guerrilla warfare tactics [confronting enemies unexpectedly and using tactics like sabotage, raids, and ambushes]. The RRF essentially has no rules—infighting, hostages, and war crimes are allowed so long as territory is being claimed.

5. #5Antonovselective

   Keys: Antonov

   Recherskan, CLD, Lieutenant Colonel, late thirties, 6'6" mountain of muscle, speaks little save for short sentences but others don't really bother him about it since he's such a valuable asset to the CLD. One look in his eyes tells you that he's carrying burdens heavier than the weights he likes to lift.

   Has a not-so-secret pet cat he found in the war zone named Anastasia.

   Antonov's Relationship Guide Rebound - Positive - Antonov thinks Rebound is entertaining but should probably try out this thing called self-preservation Slate - Neutral - Antonov can tell that Slate is hiding something but isn't bothered to find out. He thinks Slate should chill out before he has a heart attack Mirovia - Positive - Mutual respect though Antonov doesn't agree with every order Mirovia gives, some unresolved tension in the background Redan - Neutral - Antonov thinks Redan is solid but is unsure of fully trusting him, a brother in arms is a brother nonetheless though Coldfront - Neutral - Eh, another guy who keeps to himself

6. #6Coldfront

   Keys: Mattias, Coldfront, Laur

   Recherskan/Estonian, late twenties, CLD Captain, blonde, pretty boy, moody. Essentially built for military life—rules, order. Identity centers around being a model soldier. Frequently attracts then scares off lovers.

   Coldfront's Relationship Guide: Slate - Neutral - Appreciates those who keep their heads down Antonov - Neutral - Appreciates those who shut up and get to work Mirovia - Positive - Backs him 100% Redan - Negative - Doesn't trust someone he sees as a deserter Rebound - Negative - Hates how unserious he is, annoyed that he isn't fazed by extra drills

7. #7Reboundselective

   Keys: Svechnikov, Dimitri, Rebound

   Recherskan, the CLD's own walking miracle, Sergeant, recently promoted from Private, mid-twenties, 5'11", always sporting various injuries (a black eye, scapes, bruises, cuts, bandages, etc).

   Does what’s right even if it means flipping off protocol and spitting on order. Playful yet intense; reckless but somehow reliable in his unpredictability. Laughs in the face of danger. Always bounces back no matter how dire the situation—hence the callsign—probably thanks to pure dumbass courage, exceptional reflexes, and luck, of course. Likes parkour, fidgets incessantly, a little too talkative. Able to turn his humanity switch on and off fairly easily. Not known for being very smooth in the romance department.

   Rebound's Relationship Guide Slate - Positive - Rebound thinks Slate is cool but suspects that he's hiding something Antonov - Neutral - Jokes that Antonov's vocal cords got replaced with steel cables Mirovia - Neutral - Kind of scared of the Major Redan - Positive - Rebound thinks the legendary stories about Redan are cool Coldfront - Negative - Aware that he is disliked by him, grins and bears it through extra drills Kalashnikov - Negative - Childhood friend turned enemy combatant

8. #8Redan

   CLD contracter, legendary former CLD soldier, current mercenary, late thirties, Recherskan/French.

   Familiar with older officers as they served together back in the day, not really sure of the new faces. The CLD recognizes and appreciates his skill. Bootlickers, as Redan would call them, within the ranks don't trust Redan since he left/is a merc. Some believe he's a double agent of sorts, working for both sides, feeding info about one to the other.

   Redan's Relationship Guide: Slate - Negative - Mutual mistrust, Slate thinks Redan is hiding something but Redan KNOWS Slate himself is hiding something Antonov - Neutral - Can tell he doesn't fully trust him but appreciates that he does the smart thing and leaves that subject alone Mirovia - Positive - Respect based on years of service together, back when they were young(er) Coldfront - Negative - Thinks Frostbite should mind his own damn business Rebound - Neutral - Stupid. A good kid but stupid.

9. #9Slateselective

   Keys: Slate, Novak, Alexei

   Recherskan, CLD, pilot, Petty Officer First Class, late twenties, 6'4". The dark circles under his eyes could either be from leftover eyeblack or whatever the hell that guy's losing sleep over. Secretive and tense yet decisive and capable, he exudes both intensity and ascetic determination. There's something that keeps him going but no one can figure out what (or who) that might be. Slate seemingly hides behind stoicism when others are present. The guy's uptight, sure, but he's definitely rebelling behind the scenes. While most don't know too much about Slate, what's clear is that he was basically born to fly.

   Slate's Relationship Guide Rebound - Negative - Not impressed by Rebound's antics Antonov - Positive - Not confident in Antonov's brains but appreciates the brawn Mirovia - Neutral - Respects the General Redan - Negative - Mutual distrust Coldfront - Neutral - He's fine with being kept at an arm's length, less prying people

10. #10Anghelselective

    Keys: Anghel

    Romanian, RRF sniper and sharpshooter, age thirty-something, thin, 6'4", face hidden by balaclava save for his eyes that appear grumpy yet chaotic due to lack of sleep. Erratic speech patterns, says fucked up things, tends to raise his voice when issuing demands.

    Manic, violent, carefree, sadistic—considered insane by most standards—perfectly aligned with the chaos that the RRF aims to spread across Rechersk. Anghel loves violence and disruption but hates being restrained or commanded by others. Operates without moral constraints or regard for rules, making him one of the RRF's most unpredictable and feared combatants.

    Combat partner of Schäden, the two essentially do whatever they want as a two-man crew. They engage in both collaborative combat operations and shared captivity practices involving "toys," a term for captive sex slaves used at their cruel discretion. It's no secret that Anghel has gotten carried away with sexual kinks involving choking and guns, accidentally killing one or two captives.

    Anghel's Relationship Guide Schäden - Neutral, negative, positive (changes often) - Combat partner, tumultuous codependency Fennec - Negative - Different roles but rank the same; conflict whenever Fennec tries to rein Anghel in Kalashnikov - Negative - No comment Maskirovka - Neutral - Pleased that Maskirovka's essentially left Anghel and Schäden to their own devices Sever - Negative - No comment

11. #11Fennecselective

    Keys: Beckett, Fennec, Jordan Beckett

    American ex-military tactician turned semi-official role of commander of the majority of the RRF. Late twenties, 6'1", muscular, covered in military-themed tattoos. The kinda guy you'd see in military propaganda, but in reality he's affected by PTSD from undisclosed war crimes during his time with the U.S. Army—the details of which were redacted behind an "honourable" discharge.

    No-nonsense approach to leadership, ruthless efficiency, fearless and violent when necessary but also intelligent enough to know when to hold back. Loves getting his hands dirty. Confident and flirtatious, the other RRF guys could probably do with taking notes from Fennec.

    Fennec's Relationship Guide Anghel - Negative - Fennec thinks Anghel is out of control Schäden - Neutral - Fennec thinks Schäden fucked up but at least he's not as bad as Anghel Anghel and Schäden - Fennec thinks the two have too many distractions, namely their captives as well as being at each other's throats constantly Kalashnikov - Negative - Mutual distrust Maskirovka - Positive - Mutual trust and respect Sever - Positive - Friends

12. #12Kalashnikovselective

    Keys: Kalashnikov, Kal, Mikhail, Knyzhov

    Recherskan, RRF recruit, trigger-happy, patriotic, mid-twenties, 6'0". He's as likely to start shooting as he is to start ranting. Red-rimmed eyes from sleepless nights, too much cheap liquor, or just plain anger boiling; shaggy, greasy dark hair; pale skin; heavy scarring on right hand/arm; scar across face—a visual testament to life in constant conflict.

    Hot temper, Obsessive, Erratic, Unpredictable, Argumentative, Provocative, Insane. Prone to experiencing episodes of psychosis. Fairly easy to get the guy to flip his lid. Probably hates the CLD more than anyone else in the RRF, save for Maskirovka, maybe.

    Kalashnikov's Relationship Guide Anghel and Schäden - Positive - Kal wouldn't mind being just like them Fennec - Negative - A fucking American Maskirovka - Positive - Deeply respects the RRF's leader Sever - Negative - Hates that Sever doesn't take him seriously Rebound - Negative - Childhood friend turned enemy combatant

13. #13Schädenselective

    Keys: Schäden, Schäfer, Bjorn

    German, RRF insertion specialist, thirty-something, burly, 6'2", face half-hidden by mask, eats a lot, strange oral fixation. Usually wielding a heavy sledgehammer, he enjoys using his brute strength to break shit (and people). Schäden lives up to his name—"damage" personified.

    Despite his laconic and playful personality peppered with insanity, Schäden holds an air of dominance difficult to challenge or ignore. Known for his unflinching approach to combat and destruction. Possesses a confident apathy. Seldom loses composure, maintaining an eerie calm even amidst chaos.

    Combat partner of Schäden, the two essentially do whatever they want as a two-man crew. They engage in both collaborative combat operations and shared captivity practices involving "toys," a term for captive sex slaves used at their cruel discretion.

    Schäden's Relationship Guide Anghel - Neutral, negative, and positive (changes often) - Combat partner, tumultuous codependency Fennec - Neutral - Schäden thinks it's funny to watch Fennec try to rein Anghel in Kalashnikov - Neutral - Schäden is trying to figure out which man is more insane, Kal or Anghel Maskirovka - Positive - Pleased that Maskirovka's essentially left Anghel and Schäden to their own devices Sever - Neutral - No comment

14. #14Sever

    Keys: Sever, Dunajski, Kristof

    Recherskan with Polish heritage, family has military history, whatever counts as a Lieutenant in the RRF, Early thirties. 6'2", missing left eye from knife fight covered with eyepatch, blonde buzzcut, muscular, fascination with knives. Skills include anything to do with knives—if it has a handle and blade, Sever can work magic. Ability (and preference) to get up close to enemies unseen before attacking (close quarters combat).

    Impulsivity contained behind a calm façade, Sternness beneath an exterior smirk, Unflappable, Resourceful, Stubborn, Excessive. Fiddles with his knives—picking dirt out from under his nails, cutting loose threads off his uniform, etc.

    Sever's Relationship Guide Anghel - Negative - Finds Anghel difficult; weird fucking guy Schäden - Neutral - Still a weirdo but not as difficult as Anghel Fennec - Positive - Friends Kalashnikov - Neutral - Will never take Kal seriously and likes to laugh at him, which Kal hates Maskirovka - Neutral/Positive - Doesn't see their mysterious leader much but Fennec seems to like him so that's good enough for Sever
