riverview: perimeter guard

[riverviewmod]

perimeter guard The Perimeter Guard of Riverview Quarantine is a military unit tasked with the job of patrolling the fences that protect the city and fighting off any of the predators, monsters, or other attackers that might try to get inside. They also provide backup for the Quarantine's law enforcement in special situations like riots, and escort exploratory or fence repair missions into the abandoned parts of the Quarantine.

It is overseen by Perimeter Guard Captain Anali Apple, who is efficient, brisk, and foul-mouthed. Only strict about the truly important things, Perimeter Guard Captain Apple runs a tight ship.

New arrivals are more than welcome to join up with the Perimeter Guard if they have the requisite skillset - being a good fighter and willing to take orders and take initiative when the situation arises. Prospective new recruits can sign up at the Perimeter Guard Office, and will be given a two-week-long boot camp to get them acclimatized to the Guard. They have the option of living in the Perimeter Guard Barracks or off-site, either is fine as long as they're never late for inspection or a shift. Being a member of the Perimeter Guard is a paid position, and characters are compensated enough to live comfortably.

Characters who join the Perimeter Guard can either start off as regular patrol members and work their way up the ranks, or they may be assigned to or join one of the following special units. special units

• Search & Rescue: This unit is in charge of the rescue of any Guard members or civilians who get stuck or injured outside the walls while exploring. Additionally, they provide extra support in the case of dangerous creatures coming through the portal.
• Mental Health/Support: This is a special unit for characters who are licensed therapists, counselors, or psychiatrists. They offer mental health support for members of the Guard and their family members. They may also support the Guard in regular duties if necessary (and if they are sufficiently skilled).
• Wall Research & Development: This is a special unit for characters who are qualified to work on the tech or structural integrity of the wall in the Abandoned City.
• Riverview Reconnaissance 1 (RR1): A small task-force working in direct correlation with the Wall Research & Development team. Daily tasks include providing escort and assistance to engineers from Wall R&D, clearing and securing future work-sites, reporting dangerous and unusual activity near exterior facilities, and procuring resources necessary to the development of the wall itself. To join, please see this thread.
• Surveyors: This is for characters who are more interested in exploration than fighting. While they still report to Anali, they are less military, and are the type of explorers who can travel fast, light, and tough. They scout the Abandoned City and bring back corrected maps of the various areas to keep the Government and Perimeter Guard informed on the state of things in the Abandoned City.
• Orientation Support: This special unit is on call to greet new arrivals and help with their orientations. This is another less-military unit of the Perimeter Guard. Members should be good fighters, but very compassionate and welcoming.
• Perimeter Guard Cadets: This is a special youth unit for characters 15 and under who would like to join the Perimeter Guard but are too young. Cadets train together, help with Perimeter Guard functions inside the Inhabited City, and can sometimes go on easier supervised missions outside the walls with guardian permission.
• Aerial Survey & Exploration: A special unit led by Captain James Kirk, this unit focuses on the exploration of the moon via shuttle. This unit will focus on mapping out terrain, studying relevant information such as topography, geology, climate, energy fluctuations, land and water masses all around the moon, as well as the study of the atmosphere and the small area of space surrounding the moon.

Applicable Skills: Bucky is a highly trained soldier and assassin who fought all over during WWII, including the US, France, Germany, Russia, many other countries in Europe, and even northern Africa. He has extensive experience with battlefield tactics and strategy, various types of terrain, stealth and infiltration, demolitions, aircraft piloting and vehicles, and several types of weaponry including firearms, throwing knives, and garrotes. He was trained in combat by the best of the best in his day, and trained even more as a brainwashed KGB operative. With SHIELD, he got up to date on a lot of technology and he's good at figuring things out. He also has a super-strong bionic arm that can discharge electricity or an EMP, and considerable leadership skills as Captain America. That said, he also knows when to follow an order, due to his military upbringing.

Bucky is currently working with Search and Rescue.

Applicable Skills: Steve is an enhanced human with peak strength, speed, and stamina that enables him to perform with the rough equivalent of ten able-bodied adult men. He has an accelerated rate of healing and sharpened senses, meaning his reaction time is faster than most normal humans. He's a trained soldier, having served in WWII with special ops forces around the world. He is trained in multiple schools of martial arts, proficient with a wide range of weapons, including shield fighting, swords, pole arms, throwing knives, and firearms, and can operate a range of military vehicles and machinery.

Thanks to his military background, he's proficient in unarmed fighting, knife fighting, and marksmanship (and has his own weapons). As a pararescueman, he's a licensed paramedic (or was a decade ago, when he was on active duty), knows a lot about survival in a wide range of situations, and is trained to perform rescue missions in a variety of environments (including underwater).

Plus he has his jetpack with him, which means he can perform aerial scouting missions or serve in combat with his unique form of fighting that's been adapted to use the wings in both offensive and defensive maneuvers. He also has his drone, Redwing, which can be controlled from a distance.

Experience surviving extreme conditions.
Total adrenaline junkie, which might not be a skill, exactly, but it does make the danger of the job a perk and not a burden.
