I like the facepaint and beret look. Giving me a Chapel, (from Youngblood) type vibe.
I’m thinking she was part of a Death Guard type force for a warlord in Africa. I’ll need to come up with a cool name for it still but I see the Death Guard being made up of 24 members.
Then they could split up into various team sizes, 2 12 man teams, 3 8 man teams 4 6 man teams, 6 4 man teams, 8 3 man teams, or 12 2 man teams.
I kinda like seeing this all written out with the different team formations. I could use this for other ideas as well.
Anyway, these guys were really good. Too good actually. They got their warlord boss into power and kept him that way for over a year or two maybe.
The problem was they eliminated multiple CIA and State Department assets and puppets that they wanted to be in control of the region. Eventually calls were made and deals were struck and Grey Talon Security (GTS) was given the job of securing an ‘area’ which would be put them directly into conflict with the Death Guard.
This in turn led to a full on war, which Grey Talon won. This was one of their first ‘huge’ wins and helped to propel the company/business to the next level.
As for the Death Guard, I think maybe 6 of them survived the battle with Grey Talon, including her.
They all work as freelance mercenaries now. I like the idea of her only being able to talk in a whisper or low voice. Like maybe her vocal cords were damaged during a fight with Grey Talon.
Out of the 6 remaining members of the Death Guard, she hates Grey Talon for what they did to her and she is secretly looking for ways to get revenge against them.
Right now that involves her taking any job that puts her into conflict with the company. She’s killed more members of Grey Talon than any other Death Guard member.
Now the question is how long before someone at Grey Talon decides to do something about her.
