Detailed Description

Welcome to Task Force Sentinel, an elite unit under the United Nations, operating in the shadows of a rapidly changing world in the year 2042. In this play-by-post RPG, you will immerse yourself in a world of clandestine operations, high-stakes missions, and intricate geopolitical intrigue. As a member of Task Force Sentinel, you are part of a select group of operators entrusted with the most sensitive and dangerous assignments across the globe.

Background:

In the year 2042, the world has become a complex web of political alliances, technological advancements, and clandestine rivalries. Traditional warfare has given way to a new era of unconventional threats, where cyber warfare, bioterrorism, and economic sabotage pose significant challenges to global stability.

In response to these threats, the United Nations has formed Task Force Sentinel, a specialized unit comprised of the best operatives from member nations. Task Force Sentinel operates outside the constraints of traditional military structures, answering directly to the UN Security Council. Its mandate is to conduct covert operations to combat emerging threats, gather intelligence, and maintain the delicate balance of power in an increasingly volatile world.

Mission:

As a member of Task Force Sentinel, your missions will take you to the darkest corners of the globe, where the lines between friend and foe are blurred, and the stakes couldn't be higher. From infiltrating terrorist cells to thwarting rogue state actors, from unraveling corporate conspiracies to preventing global pandemics, your team will face challenges that test your skills, your courage, and your conscience.

Each mission is meticulously planned and executed, with precision and stealth being paramount. Whether you're conducting a high-profile extraction operation in a war-torn city or gathering intelligence in the heart of enemy territory, every decision you make will have far-reaching consequences.

Character Creation:

Before embarking on your first mission, you will create your character, customizing their background, skills, and personality traits. Choose from a diverse array of specializations, including intelligence operatives, special forces soldiers, hackers, diplomats, and scientists. Your character's strengths and weaknesses will shape their role within the team and influence the outcome of each mission. The character creation will use highly modded Shadowrun 5e rules, with path that would help you build a solid background and identity.

Join Task Force Sentinel:

Are you ready to embark on a thrilling adventure in the year 2042? Join Task Force Sentinel and become a part of an elite unit fighting to protect global security in an age of uncertainty. Your skills, your courage, and your loyalty will be put to the test as you confront the shadows of the future. Welcome to Task Force Sentinel – where the fate of the world hangs in the balance, and only the brave dare to tread.

    For the character creation, you're going to build your career path, a system very similar from the Mechwarrior RPG from Fasa in the 80-90'. Basically, all of you will start the process as a baby with 1 in all his attributes except edge which start at 3. Afterward, you're going to choose the next advanced path of your childhood, which going to provide you attributes, skills and sometimes advantages and disavantages. In all the process, never an attribute or a skill you previously gained can go under 1. And it is going on afterward to the next stage of life (education, career and on and on). All those path will also have a roll to determine a random event. These events, if not desirable, could be modified by spending a point of Edge. If you are spending the edge point in this way, you can add or substract 1 or 2 to the random event roll you made.
