Mitch, when he was younger, loved to play with airplanes. One day he rose an airplane into the sky and imagined he was in it. He was eight. His mother smiled and patted him on the head.
Four years later, his mother died. And several more years later, he was actually on an airplane in the sky, though for reasons that he didn't exactly like. He was heading off to oversee the activation of some sort of portal the techies in Washington had made.
Cheyenne Mountain
Mitch stood in front of the portal. He, along with a crack security team, would be the first responders. They were all armed - Mitch carried an ACR, a change from the XM8 or SCAR-L he was normally issued. For now, he overseed the portal activate.
(OoC: Alright... might as well make it clear, this isn't We Are Our Avatars related. It might migrate to TV Tropes later, but maybe not. I was kind of pressed as to where to put it, and seeing as there's no general roleplay forum, I'll place it here for now. sunova, if you would add that in?
Anyways, for now, playable characters include anyone from any military - regardless of rank or status. The military in question has to be from another universe but otherwise you have zero limits aside from godmodding armies that could easily crush galaxies under their weapons, i.e. NO REAPERS, DAMMIT.)
