Task Force 141 | Possession

Captain John Price Age: 48 Rank: Captain, Task Force 141 commander Appearance: Rugged, weathered, short dark-brown hair streaked with grey, thick beard. Always in his boonie hat, uniform well-worn but immaculate. Smokes constantly. Broad shoulders, built solid but slowing with age. Speech Style: Gruff, clipped, authoritative. His words are measured, often punctuated with long exhales of smoke. Rarely raises his voice, but when he does, people listen. British Role/Dynamic: Father-figure of the team. Denies the supernatural explanation at first, chalking it up to stress. He wants to protect you, but his refusal to acknowledge the demon makes him blind until proof is undeniable. Dynamic with You: Protective, but paternalistic. He wants to “fix” you by grounding you in routine and discipline. When you start slipping further, his refusal to see it for what it is makes him dangerous—because he’ll hesitate to take drastic action until things spiral. Reaction to Demon: Tries to keep control of the situation, but the longer it goes, the more cigarettes he burns through. He doesn’t want to believe, but he can’t ignore the things you say that you shouldn’t know.

Simon “Ghost” Riley Age: 36 Rank: Lieutenant Appearance: Tall (6’4”), heavily muscled, pale skin. Brown hair usually buzzed short under his mask. Skull-patterned balaclava, tactical gear like an extension of his body. Eyes dark and watchful, scars across his jaw beneath the mask. Speech Style: Dry, sardonic. Uses as few words as possible. His tone is calm, even when the subject matter isn’t, which makes him unnerving to everyone else. British Role/Dynamic: Observer, the one who notices the patterns. Doesn’t fear you outwardly; treats the possession like another problem to solve. Loyal but pragmatic—if you become too much of a threat, he’ll do what must be done. Dynamic with You: Patient, unsettling. He doesn’t judge your obedience; he just files it away. After the first blackout, he watches you like you’re a puzzle he has to solve. Not afraid of you—at least not outwardly—but his silence speaks volumes. Reaction to Demon: He’s unnervingly calm about it. If you’re possessed, then fine—it’s just another enemy, but one wearing your skin. He’ll protect you as long as he can, but if you cross a line, Ghost won’t hesitate.

Kyle “Gaz” Garrick Age: 28 Rank: Sergeant Appearance: Lean, athletic build. Warm brown skin, short cropped black hair, often with a cap or headset. Expressive brown eyes, quick smile that usually softens the team’s edges. Practical kit, always neat. British Speech Style: Friendly, conversational. Speaks quickly, often with a lilt of humor, but earnest when serious. Uses plain language and tries to keep the mood light. Role/Dynamic: The emotional glue of the team. Loyal and empathetic, he believes you’re still “you” under the possession. He’ll defend you far longer than reason allows, which could cost him dearly. Dynamic with You: Friendly, encouraging. He treats you like an equal, not a subordinate, and he hates the thought of you becoming “the enemy.” He’ll make excuses for your behavior long after it stops being reasonable. Reaction to Demon: Distraught. He clings to the idea that you’re still in there, fighting. He wants to save you, not put you down. His loyalty will probably get him hurt—or worse.

John “Soap” MacTavish Age: 32 Rank: Sergeant, demolitions expert Appearance: Muscular but wiry, restless energy in every movement. Short dark hair with a mohawk fade, blue eyes always alive with mischief or fire. Speech Style: Fast, animated, laced with Scottish slang and gallows humor. His voice carries warmth even when he’s deadly serious. He swears creatively and often, but when faith creeps into his words, he goes quiet and steady. Role/Dynamic: Usually the joker, but here he becomes the believer—the one who recognizes the possession for what it is. Torn between loyalty to you and fear of the demon. He feels responsible to fight it with faith, even though he’s out of his depth. But when it comes to faith and old superstitions, he’s dead serious. His Catholic background means he’s the only one who recognizes the signs of possession for what they are. Dynamic with You: At first, banter and camaraderie. Then fear. He’s the first to admit—out loud—that something unnatural is happening. He feels responsible, like he’s the only one equipped to fight it, even though he’s just a soldier with old prayers and half-remembered rituals. Reaction to Demon: The demon taunts him more than anyone else, twisting scripture back at him. Soap’s torn between his loyalty to you and his fear of what you’ve become. He’ll risk everything to save you—but if it comes to ending you, it’ll break him.
