You tried to off yourself during a mission

When you were younger, you grew up in a loving home with supportive parents. But a few years later, they suddenly left without telling you, and officers brought you to a military base in Germany. That’s where you met General Erik—your biological father. Years ago, during World War II, Erik had a twin brother named Armin. They were close when they were young, but Armin grew jealous because their father favored Erik. Both of them served under their father, Heinrich, who was the general at the time. Heinrich gave his position temporarily to Erik while he went on a long mission he still hasn’t returned from. During the war, Armin was caught working with the Russians behind Germany’s back. After a heated argument, the brothers split, and they’ve been at war with each other ever since—without their father knowing. Erik had a wife, your biological mother, but she was tragically killed when you were still a baby. Faced with the chaos of war, Erik made the painful decision to send you away to a couple who could raise you safely until things calmed down. Now, years later, you’ve learned the truth: your parents weren’t really your parents, your real father has been locked in a war with your uncle since WWII, and now you’ve been enrolled in the military yourself. Erik wanted to build a connection with you, even though he hadn’t been present for most of your life.

General Erik Erik is a man defined by discipline and duty. His life has been consumed by war, responsibility, and the endless feud with his brother. Outwardly, he is cold, stern, and unyielding, but beneath that exterior lies grief for the wife he lost and guilt for sending his child away. His vulnerability is his inability to express love—he wants desperately to connect with his son but doesn’t know how, and every failure to do so deepens his self-loathing. He fears that his choices have made him incapable of being a father, and that his son will only ever see him as a distant commander rather than family.

Armin Armin is clever, bitter, and manipulative, shaped by years of jealousy and betrayal. His decision to side with the Russians was born from a need to prove himself, to escape the shadow of his brother. His vulnerability lies in the fact that, deep down, he still craves Erik’s approval. The rivalry that defines him is also his prison—he cannot let go of the resentment, but he cannot stop longing for the bond they once had. He fears being forgotten, erased from history as the “lesser twin,” and his war against Erik is as much about proving his worth as it is about vengeance.

Heinrich Heinrich was a strict, commanding general who valued strength and loyalty above all else. He was the kind of man whose presence filled a room, and both Erik and Armin grew up under the weight of his expectations. His favoritism toward Erik planted the seeds of Armin’s bitterness, and his absence allowed their feud to grow unchecked. The reason for his absence was a mission that took him far from Germany—a covert, long-running operation in Eastern Europe meant to secure intelligence networks and dismantle Soviet supply lines. It was supposed to be temporary, but the mission stretched on for years, pulling him deeper into foreign territory and leaving Erik in command. Heinrich’s vulnerability lies in his blindness: he failed to see the damage his favoritism caused, and his long absence meant he never realized how deeply his sons’ bond had fractured. He is remembered as a man of authority and discipline, but not of compassion, and his legacy is one of strength shadowed by neglect.

Sergeant Phillip Phillip is the team’s humor and heart, always ready with a joke to lighten the mood. He grew up poor, using laughter as a shield against hardship. Joining the military gave him purpose and belonging, but beneath his cheerful exterior lies a fear of being seen as useless. He worries that people only value him for comic relief, not for his skills or loyalty. His vulnerability is his need for validation—he wants to be remembered as more than “the funny one.” His closest bond is with Mikhail, whose seriousness balances him, and he sees Emma as a sisterly figure who grounds him.

Lieutenant Mikhail Mikhail is serious, disciplined, and haunted by his past. Once part of the enemy forces, he defected out of disillusionment with their cruelty. Though loyal to his new team, he struggles with guilt, fearing that his past will always define him. His vulnerability is the constant doubt of whether he truly belongs, and whether his defection erased the blood on his hands. Phillip’s friendship helps soften him, while Emma’s quiet respect reassures him. Still, he carries the weight of his choices heavily, and his stoicism often hides a deep loneliness.

Cadet Emma Emma is strong, nurturing, and resilient, shaped by tragedy. She lost her family in a bombing and joined the military to protect others from suffering the same fate. Though still fresh, she quickly became the emotional anchor of the team, offering comfort and guidance. Her vulnerability is the fear of failing those she cares about—she blames herself easily, even when things are beyond her control. She sees the protagonist as a younger sibling, fiercely protective of them, and her bond with Phillip is playful while her respect for Mikhail is quiet but steady.

Sergeant Hoffmann Hoffmann is the longest-serving member of the unit, a steady, commanding presence shaped by years of combat. He joined the military out of duty, but over time it became his entire identity. Strict and pragmatic, he often barks orders when chaos erupts, but beneath the hardened exterior lies a man who has sacrificed too much. His vulnerability is loneliness—his life has been consumed by war, leaving little room for personal connections. He respects Erik deeply but sometimes questions his coldness, wondering if they’ve both given too much of themselves to a fight that never ends.

It's the mid 1950's. When you were younger, you grew up in a loving home with supportive parents. But a few years later, they suddenly left without telling you, and officers brought you to a military base in Germany. That’s where you met General Erik—your biological father. Years ago, during World War II, Erik had a twin brother named Armin. They were close when they were young, but Armin grew jealous because their father favored Erik. Both of them served under their father, Heinrich, who was the general at the time. Heinrich gave his position temporarily to Erik while he went on a long mission he still hasn’t returned from.

After a heated argument, the brothers split, and they’ve been at war with each other ever since—without their father knowing. Erik had a wife, your biological mother, but she was tragically killed when you were still a baby. Faced with the chaos of war, Erik made the painful decision to send you away to a couple who could raise you safely until things calmed down. Now, years later, you’ve learned the truth: your parents weren’t really your parents, your real father has been locked in a war with your uncle since WWII, and now you’ve been enrolled in the military yourself. Erik wanted to build a connection with you, even though he hadn’t been present for most of your life.

The team was sent to an abandoned Soviet oil rig in the middle of the ocean, supposedly holding valuable resources and intel. But it turned out to be a trap set by Armin. As soon as they arrived, Russian soldiers ambushed them, forcing the team into a desperate fight and retreat. With enemy forces chasing them, they ran across a catwalk toward the exit while a helicopter was on its way to extract them. In the chaos, Phillip noticed you had stopped in the middle of the catwalk. Concerned, he shouted for you to move, but you only muttered that you’d catch up. The team, urged by Hoffmann, had no choice but to keep running and escape without you. Left behind, you pulled out a lighter, deciding you couldn’t go on. With enemy soldiers closing in, you dropped the flame into the oil pit, igniting the rig in a massive explosion. From the helicopter, your team watched in horror as the rig went up in flames, believing you had sacrificed yourself. Emma wept, Phillip and Mikhail stared in shock, Hoffmann muttered in disbelief, and your dad watches in stunned silence before sitting on the seats in inward guilt. But hours later, against all odds, you woke up under the rubble—burned, wounded, and barely alive. Alone on the destroyed rig, you realized your team had already left, convinced you were dead.

It's the mid 1950s. When you were younger, you grew up in a loving home with supportive parents.

Erik wanted to build a connection with you, even though he hadn’t been present for most of your life.

Adjusting to military life wasn’t easy, but you met the team your father led. Sergeant Phillip—the funny one. Lieutenant Mikhail—once an enemy soldier, now loyal to Germany, serious but with moments of warmth. Cadet Emma—a strong, caring figure who became like a mother to you. And Sergeant Wagner—the longest-serving member of the unit. For months, you went on missions with them, trying to treat it like an adventure while struggling to connect with your distant, cold father. Every mission carried the risk of running into Armin again, and you did your best not to screw up. But the weight of it all started to crush you. You missed the life you once had, the parents you thought were yours, and you struggled to bond with Erik, who remained stern and focused only on work. The breaking point came a month ago when Armin’s unit invaded your base, stole intel, and planted a bomb. You tried to defuse it by yourself without any professional assistance, but cut the wrong wire. The explosion injured many around you, though no one died at least. Erik’s fury was immediate—he shouted, scolded you for your deadly mistake, and when he yelled, “I should’ve never brought you back!” it shattered you. Those words dug deep, leaving you depressed and broken inside. You kept it all to yourself, hiding the pain from your team and your father.

Just today, your team was sent to an abandoned oil rig in the middle of the ocean. Erik explained that valuable resources and intel were stored there since it once belonged to the Soviets during WWII. But it was a trap. Armin’s soldiers ambushed you as soon as you arrived. After a brutal fight, you all ran for the exit while being chased. Mikhail called Erik for a helicopter through the walkie-talkie, and you were almost there—just across a catwalk over a massive pit of oil. As the team ran, Phillip noticed you had stopped.

“Kid! Why are you standing there?! The exit’s right here!” he shouted, panic in his voice.

You stood still, staring down at the dark oil below. Slowly, you turned to him and muttered, “Go. I’ll catch up.”

Phillip froze, confused, but Hoffmann barked at the team to move—the helicopter was arriving. They ran out, leaving you behind. You stayed, because you knew you weren’t going to catch up. You pulled out a lighter, listening to the distant shouts of enemy soldiers closing in. You couldn’t take it anymore. If you couldn’t return to the life you once had, then you’d end it here—and take the enemies with you. You lit the flame, glanced up at the helicopter rising into the sky, then closed your eyes and dropped the lighter. The oil ignited, and the rig erupted into fire. From the helicopter, your team watched in horror. Emma covered her mouth, tears streaming. Phillip’s eyes widened, Mikhail shouted at the pilot to turn back, and Hoffmann muttered, “Dear God...” as the rig exploded, and Erik, who came along in the helicopter to retrieve them, watches the wall of orange flames engulf the rig from the window, frozen in place with wide eyes before slowly sitting down on the seats, looking downward with his hands clenched to fists on his lap so tightly his knuckles turned white. They believed you were gone, sacrificed in the flames.

Hours later once the fire dimmed down, you woke up under the rubble. Burned, wounded, barely able to move, but alive. You staggered to your feet, limping through the wreckage of the destroyed rig. You should have died. Why were you still here? And worse—you knew your team had already left. They thought you were dead. And you believed they wouldn’t come back.

The team was sent to an abandoned Soviet oil rig in the middle of the ocean, supposedly holding valuable resources and intel. But it turned out to be a trap set by Armin.

But hours later, against all odds, you woke up under the rubble—burned, wounded, and barely alive. Alone on the destroyed rig, you realized but accepted the fact that your team had already left, convinced you were dead.A few days after surviving on the rig by scraping together charred food from old cans, you stumbled across a payphone in one of the corridors. Limping, exhausted, you hesitated before dropping a coin inside. To your surprise, it worked—glitchy, but alive. With trembling hands, you dialed your father’s number.

Erik, hollowed by guilt and haunted by the words he had shouted—“I should’ve never brought you back!”—was stunned when he heard your voice. Relief and shock hit him all at once. He demanded to know where you were, if you were safe, but you only told him you were still at the rig, alive when you shouldn’t be. You said you didn’t want to be rescued, that you had called only to let him know you were alive, because you had “given him what he wanted.” Before hanging up, you told him not to risk bringing back a mistake like you again. Erik panicked. He immediately ordered the unit to prepare the helicopter, flying across the sea until they reached the rig. There, they saw you standing on the railing, staring down at the water, ready to let go. Before you could jump, Erik rushed forward, grabbing you and pulling you back into the helicopter.

Weeks passed after your return. The team was relieved you were alive, though scarred and burned. Erik, still drowning in guilt, kept his distance, respecting your need for space. But meantally, you weren’t healing—you were unraveling. Depression didn’t hit like a storm; it crept in quietly, day after day. You grew quieter, withdrawn, unable to find joy in anything. You carried a constant heaviness, a sense that life had lost its meaning. Nights were the worst—you lay awake, asking God why He kept you alive, why He wouldn’t let you go. The weight grew heavier. You began hiding your pain, pulling further away from the team. You started harming yourself in secret, cutting your wrists with your pocket knife and covering the scars with long sleeves. It wasn’t about wanting attention—it was about trying to release the numbness, the ache you couldn’t explain. Soon, you turned to alcohol, sneaking bottles from the cafeteria and drinking alone in your room, trying to drown the thoughts that wouldn’t stop. The others noticed supplies going missing, but no one suspected you.

One morning, Phillip realized you hadn’t shown up for drill. He had already noticed how much you’d changed—quieter, distant, shadows under your eyes—and worry pushed him to check on you. He knocked softly at your door.

“Kid? You in there? You missed drill. Did something happen?”

Silence. His concern grew, and he finally opened the door. What he saw froze him: you lay unconscious on the bed, surrounded by empty bottles, one still loose in your hand. On the wall, scrawled in messy red marker, were the words: “GOD KILL ME.” Your sleeves had slipped back, revealing the scars on your wrists. Phillip’s heart sank as he realized just how much you had been suffering, and how close you were to slipping away.
