Can I join in?
Character: SSgt. Arnold Page, British Infantry
Arnold grew up in the rough streets of east London. He was bright as a boy but poorly educated, by the age of 14 he was involved in street gangs and committed many petty crimes resulting in his imprisonment for 6 months in 2004 at just 17 years of age.
Arnold found that prison, far from being repressive, helped him to become a real man. He learnt skills and educated himself, and one week after his release in 2005 he signed up for the British Infantry.
Twelve years have passed since then and Arnold is now a Staff Sergeant in the British Infantry. He is respected among his peers and sub-ordinates alike, for although he isn't an academic he more than makes up for this with his great awareness and intuition.
But behind his successful reform, there still exists a rogue; a man out for his own gain, who would sacrifice the lives of twenty men to preserve his own.
Which side of Arnold Page will be brought out by this terrible war?
[June 15th 2016]
Due to increasing tension between the US and China, SSgt Arnold Page and C200 other soldiers have been transferred to the British/US camp patrolling the southern border of China.
[September 26th 2017]
A Chinese attack on the camp leads to the live capture of 23 allied soldiers including Arnold Page.
[December 5th 2017]
After months of imprisonment and horrific torture many of the allied soldiers have died from starvation or failed escape attempts from the Chinese camp. Only the hardest characters have survived (chance for anyone to have their character start from here too
).
Noticing that the sewage pipe from the guards' quarters exits into a nearby river, the remaining men that can muster enough strength begin to dig under their barracks in hope of intersecting the pipe.
[December 18th 2017]
The pipe is finally breached and the men crawl through the stinking waste to freedom.
[December 22nd 2017]
After days of endless walking, the small band of men reach an opening, and beyond a small village can be seen.
Upon seeing the village, a slight glaze returned Arnold's eyes, a symbol of hope that had returned to a man who had thought he was done for. His cracked lips contorted in an effort to smile and he stumbled along as slowly as before while his mind was racing.
As he approached the village he heard the women shouting, signalling his arrival. Whether they were welcoming or hostile he didn't care, all he could think is that there would be food and a place to rest.
Arnold made his way across the rice fields in front of the village and just as he started to make out the details of the people, who were now gathered at the village entrance, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground with exhaustion.
The village is the place where you guys are, Arnold doesn't have anything except his dirty uniform.
I'll let you guys decide what happens to him next as he is unconscious
