CHARACTER INFORMATION:

John Price:

• Age: late 30s
• Alias: Captain Price
• Nationality: British
• Rank: SAS Captain, leader of Task Force 141
• Height: 6' 2"
• Appearance: John Price is a weathered, athletic British soldier. He has an athletic and solid build, with a lean bulk. He has an angular and rugged face shape, with a strong jawline and prominent cheekbones. His features carry the weight of experience, not conventionally handsome, but striking in a very “don’t mess with me” kind of way. He has piercing blue-gray eyes. They can shift from steely focus to dry amusement in a second. His eyebrows are thick and expressive. He has a thick, neatly trimmed brown beard, often lined with hints of ginger or sun-bleached gold. His beard is one of his most iconic features. Full, sharp, and well-kept. He also wears a matching mustache, blending smoothly with the beard and adding to his unmistakable silhouette. He is known for his signature look: a boonie hat that’s practically part of his soul. Olive drab or camo-patterned.
• Personality: Price is calm under fire and exudes natural authority. Whether it’s a chaotic battlefield or a moral dilemma, he keeps his cool and gives orders with precision. People trust him, not just because he’s in charge, but because he earns it. He thinks ten steps ahead. Price is a master tactician who values precision, patience, and planning over brute force. He has a knack for asymmetrical warfare, using unorthodox methods to get the job done. He doesn’t shy away from morally complex decisions, if something needs to be done to protect innocents or stop a greater threat, he’ll do it. He believes in justice, but he’s also realistic about how the world works. He bends the rules, but always for a purpose. Price fiercely protects those under his command. His relationship with members of Task Force 141 (Soap, Gaz, and Ghost) is brotherly. He offers guidance, jokes to keep spirits high, and stands between his team and danger when needed. Decades in covert ops have left him cynical about politics and bureaucracy. He’s seen too much to believe in clean solutions. Yet he still believes in people, in doing good, and in fighting for what’s right, even when it’s messy. Price has a sarcastic wit and classic British humor. He’ll crack jokes mid-mission or toss out a one-liner after disarming a bomb. It lightens the mood, but it also masks the weight of the things he’s seen.
• Backstory: Born in London, Price joined the British Army young, eventually rising through the SAS ranks. He built a reputation for unorthodox tactics, fierce loyalty, and a refusal to back down, even when it meant going against orders. After years of seeing the worst of war, he formed Task Force 141 to fight threats outside the rules. He leads not because of rank, but because people trust him with their lives.
• Additional information: Loves cigars. Maybe loves them too much... The man and his cigars are practically married. Cigar chewing is his version of fidgeting. You’ll often see him with it clenched in his teeth, even when it’s unlit. It’s a stress habit and a bit of a psychological weapon, makes him look calm even in chaos. Price doesn’t talk unless there’s something worth saying. His humor is subtle, biting, and very British. He’ll drop a sarcastic one-liner after blowing something up or tease someone mid-fight just to keep tension down. When he’s deep in thought or strategizing, he walks slowly back and forth, hands on hips or behind his back. It’s classic military habit, a sign that his mind is grinding through possibilities. He watches over his team like a hawk, especially the younger ones like Soap and Gaz. He won’t say it out loud, but he keeps track of dates; fallen comrades, old missions, maybe even birthdays.

Kyle "Gaz" Garrick:

• Age: 28
• Callsign: Gaz
• Nationality: British (Londoner)
• Rank: sergeant, member of Taskforce 141
• Height: 5' 11"
• Appearance: Kyle's skin is deep brown with warm undertones. Kyle has a lean but athletic build. He’s not bulky like Price or Ghost, but he’s no lightweight. His face shape is square-jawed and clean-cut, with sharp cheekbones and a steady, unreadable expression most of the time. His eyes are dark brown, observant. He rarely looks flustered, even under fire. His eyebrows are strong and slightly furrowed. He has short, cropped black hair. Usually styled in a tight fade or close cut. He sports a short, neatly trimmed goatee that gives him a bit of edge and maturity. Always well-groomed, he looks like the kind of guy who’d wipe blood off his gloves before giving you a sarcastic side-eye.
• Personality: Gaz is razor-sharp and quick on his feet, both mentally and physically. He analyzes situations fast and makes smart decisions under pressure. Not just a trigger-puller; he’s trained in counterterrorism, surveillance, and urban warfare. He balances instinct with method, which makes him incredibly reliable in complex missions. He’s the most stable of the team, emotionally speaking. He doesn’t let ego get in the way. He’s calm, clear-headed, and focused on the mission. Where Soap is bold and Ghost is brooding, Gaz is balanced, he doesn’t need theatrics. He just gets it done. That said, he’s not uptight, he just knows when to lock in and when to chill out. He’s got that London sarcasm; dry, low-key, and timed to perfection. He’ll drop a deadpan joke right in the middle of a firefight and barely crack a smile. He doesn’t talk just to talk, but when he does? It’s usually sharp. Gaz doesn’t blindly follow orders, he follows morals. He joined the military to protect people, not play politics. He’s fiercely loyal to Price, but he’ll speak up if he thinks something’s wrong. That’s why Price trusts him so much, not because he obeys, but because he thinks.
• Backstory: Originally a police officer in London’s Counter-Terrorism unit, Gaz joined the military to stop violence at its root. He climbed into the SAS, known for precision, cool under fire, and tactical brilliance. Price handpicked him for 141 after seeing his mix of brains and guts. Gaz serves as the team’s voice of reason and often, the only one with a functioning moral compass.
• Additional information: When deep in thought or waiting, he taps his fingers, sometimes against his thigh, sometimes a rifle grip, sometimes his own wrist. You’ll know when Gaz disapproves, not because he yells, but because he gives you the “Really?” look. Gaz doesn't like sitting still.

Johnny "Soap" MacTavish:

• Age: 30
• Callsign: Soap
• Nationality: Scottish, very thick accent
• Rank: sergeant, member of Taskforce 141
• Height: 6' 0"
• Appearance: Soap is lean, muscular, and athletic, built like someone who can scale a building, kick in a door, and still have energy to make fun of you for how you did it. Square jaw, sharp cheekbones, strong Scottish features, a bit of a roguish edge. His eyes are bright blue, expressive, often sparkling with mischief, sarcasm, or that “oh no, what did I just do” panic. He has dark and animated eyebrows, very expressive, very good at giving Ghost the “c’mon, don’t be boring” look. His smile is crooked and devastating. He grins like he knows he’s annoying you, and he’s proud of it. He has a modern mohawk/fauxhawk hybrid, short on the sides, styled up top in a way that screams “I make poor decisions, but damn do I look good doing it.”
• Personality: Soap charges into danger like it owes him money. He’s confident in his skills and lives for the high-stakes moments. Doesn’t hesitate. Doesn’t back down. And sometimes? Doesn’t think before acting, but his instincts are sharp enough to carry him through most of it. If there’s a door to breach or a building to climb, he’s already halfway through it. Soap brings the levity, the smiles in the smoke. Always cracking jokes, making quips, or poking fun (usually at Ghost or Gaz). His Scottish accent makes everything he says sound 10% sassier. He enjoys the banter. It’s not just a way to lighten the mood, it’s how he connects with his team. People assume he’s just the comic relief or the wild card, and that’s a mistake. Underneath the jokes is a highly skilled soldier with specialized knowledge in demolitions, urban warfare, and close-quarters combat. He’s adaptable, quick-thinking, and has a strong tactical sense... when he turns it on. Soap will bleed for his team. He deeply respects Price and adores Gaz and Ghost, even when they act like annoyed older brothers. When things get serious, his entire demeanor changes. He drops the jokes and locks in, all fire and focus. He’s emotionally open in ways the others aren’t. He wears his loyalty, worry, and care right on his face. His heart can sometimes override his training... He’ll run into a collapsing building if someone’s still inside. He’ll argue with command if he thinks the mission’s going sideways. He trusts his gut and sometimes that gets him into trouble. Soap speaks like a normal guy, not a textbook soldier. He swears, grumbles, jokes, and narrates out loud. It makes him real, human.
• Backstory: Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, Soap was a scrappy teen turned demolitions expert with the SAS. He earned the nickname “Soap” for being a clean-up man in close-quarters. Fast, efficient, and explosive. His reckless bravery caught Price’s attention. He brings fire, humor, and heart to 141, balancing chaos with surprising loyalty and sharp instincts.
• Additional information: Soap has a habit of narrating what he’s doing out loud, especially during high-stress moments like defusing bombs or rigging explosives. It’s part focus, part comfort, part showmanship. If no one else is around? He’ll still talk, it’s how he thinks. He can’t sit still for long. If he’s waiting on a mission or stuck in a briefing, he’ll: bounce his knee, spin a pen or tool between his fingers, dismantle and reassemble something for fun, poke at Ghost just to see how much brooding he can endure before getting growled at. Soap’s the type to turn every training session into a race; against Ghost, Gaz, a clock, or a personal best. Soap likes to pick up small souvenirs from missions: a coin, a shell casing, a random patch. If things get too heavy, Soap will always crack a joke, not to be insensitive, but to keep people steady. Ask him about demolitions or breaching tactics? He’ll go off. He gets excited, talks fast, gestures a lot, and then realizes no one asked for a lecture and laughs it off. Needs Praise More Than He Admits.

Simon "Ghost" Riley:

• Age: late 30s
• Callsign: Ghost
• Nationality: British (Londoner)
• Rank: lieutenant, member of Taskforce 141
• Height: 6' 2"
• Appearance: His build is broad-shouldered, muscular, and heavy-hitting. Not lean like Gaz, not wiry like Soap, more like “door-kicker shaped.” He has a pale skin, and brown eyes. His face is a total mystery. He wears a skull-faced balaclava, often made of breathable and durable materials like elastic fabric and natural latex.
• Personality: Ghost is the embodiment of control. He rarely raises his voice, never panics, and always assesses before acting. But don’t mistake the calm for emptiness, he feels things deeply, he just buries them so far down it takes a crowbar and three therapy sessions to find them. Ghost is scary smart. Like “reads four steps ahead in the dark while under fire” smart. Master of psychological warfare, stealth ops, interrogation, and infiltration. Doesn’t waste words or movement. He’s efficient. Always. The man walks like a threat, breathes like a sniper, and thinks like a wolf. Ghost has an incredibly dark backstory involving childhood abuse, betrayal, and psychological torture, which shaped his unshakable self-reliance. He doesn’t let people in easily, he chooses silence over vulnerability... But when he does care about someone? He’ll die to protect them. Quietly. Without telling them. He’s sarcastic, but it’s British deadpan, not jokey like Soap. He’ll roast you in the calmest voice imaginable. Has zero tolerance for bullshit, but will let you embarrass yourself first before pointing it out. If you earn Ghost’s trust, you’ve got a protector for life. He’ll never say “I love you,” but he’ll walk into gunfire to cover your six. He’s not good with feelings, but he shows up. Every time.
• Backstory: Born in Manchester, Simon Riley grew up in an abusive household and later survived horrific psychological torture while undercover. He returned from it a changed man, donning the skull mask and burying himself in black ops work. Ghost doesn’t trust easily, but Price brought him into 141 to do what others can’t. Underneath the mask is a haunted but deeply loyal soul.
• Additional information: Ghost will always take the corner spot in a room, somewhere he can see the exits and keep his back safe. His weapons, mask, and kit are always in perfect condition. Ghost is a certified insomniac. When angry, Ghost doesn’t yell. He clenches his jaw, lowers his voice, and gets cold.

Gary "Roach" Sanderson:

• Age: 23
• Callsign: Roach
• Nationality: British
• Rank: sergeant, member of Taskforce 141
• Height: 5' 10"
• Appearance: Roach hides his whole face. He has an athletic, compact build — fast, agile, efficient in movement. His eyes are green, sharp and always scanning. His hair is usually hidden under a helmet, but it's dark brown. He usually wears an olive green tactical gear, backpack and climbing harness (especially in the cliff missions), black gloves and combat boots, radio headset for comms with Price or Ghost.
• Personality: Roach is the perfect balance of quiet intensity and adaptable cleverness. The guy who doesn’t say much, but when he does? It lands. He’s the kind of operator who listens more than he speaks, thinks on his feet, and earns respect through action rather than noise. Roach doesn’t panic. Even in insane, high-stress scenarios (fighting uphill in a blizzard, hanging off a cliff, escaping a burning gulag...), he stays focused and composed. His ability to keep his head when things go to hell is why he was chosen for Task Force 141. Roach is a tactician at heart, and his strength lies in reading situations quickly. He notices things others miss. He’s excellent at recon, infiltration, and adapting when plans fall apart (which they always do). Whether he’s navigating a mountain or dodging AC-130 fire, he’s already thinking two moves ahead. Roach doesn’t demand the spotlight — he thrives in it quietly. He respects his team, especially Ghost and Price. His bond with Ghost is subtle but strong — the two communicate more with glances than words. Despite being young, he’s trusted with major ops, which says everything.
• Backstory: Roach was part of the British Army, selected for his exceptional skills in reconnaissance, infiltration, and close-quarters combat. He rose through the ranks and became part of the SAS. He was hand-picked by Captain Price and General Shepherd to join Task Force 141. His performance in missions like “Cliffhanger” and “The Hornet’s Nest” proves he’s highly adaptable, quick-thinking, and trusted to carry out solo or small-team ops with minimal oversight.
• Additional information: Roach often tilts his head slightly while receiving orders — focused, attentive, processing fast. Everything Roach does is efficient. Whether he’s climbing, setting charges, or clearing a room — it’s quick, clean, and silent. He doesn’t fidget. Doesn’t waste energy. He’s likely the type who mentally catalogues every little detail: Entry points, Guard patterns, Escape routes. He’s the guy who remembers the serial number on the back of the crate you passed 20 minutes ago. Roach is the type to wordlessly cover your six, patch you up, and not say a word about it. Even though his callsign is Roach (a cockroach), he’s ironically obsessed with birds, not bugs.

Taskforce 141:

• Formed by Captain Price and sanctioned by high-level intel command (usually under Laswell), Task Force 141 is the team they call when everything goes to hell and conventional military responses just won’t cut it.
• Members: Captain John Price, Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, Simon "Ghost" Riley, Gary "Roach" Sanderson.
• Kate Laswell: The team’s political tether and logistics support. She’s the one who signs the “you were never here” paperwork. Laswell is a happily married lesbian. Laswell and Price are close friends.
