Time to kick it again! Here's the original thing:
Welcome to Dagger Branch, a Cold War-based RTD that was inspired by James Bond movies (I know, I know)

Dagger Branch is an elite sub-branch of the American CIA. Our unspoken enemy, the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, or the U.S.S.R, have been building up heat in the Atlantic Coasts and Southern Asia. We need to have intelligence on these activities, and they will be expecting us. That is why we need only the most elite of operatives to go on these missions. Expect counter-intelligence measures on missions.

Each member of the team will be sent out on missions, often with multiple squad members, occasionally with all six, and rarely solo. You will need to use your skills to your team's advantage as you assassinate, sabotage, and steal from our enemies. Each mission will give you a choice of equipment to bring along and the missions will be decided based on your skills. Each agent has a currency card which will allow them to buy anything that doesn't require cold cash. These cards can be stolen or taken from your dead body to lend support to our enemies.

There is also Lumberjack, the mission director. You can easily contact him through your headset, and he will lend you loads of mission advice and information. In most cases, he will even draw up a tactical map for you and send it to your PDA. He is also who you call when you have completed a task, and need extraction. If you need to be transported somewhere, call for Lumberjack on your headset. Basically, Lumberjack is your eye in the sky.
What's the difference this time? I'm not going to make it as god damn complicated as I did last time. I'll be keeping it simple underneath, but through *hopefully* decent GMing I'll be able to keep it just as good as last time. This thing WILL take priority over all other forum games I have going on. Not going to let this one go because god damn it this was a good one and I'm very sad that I lost my time to do it last time.

Spoiler: Skills (click to show/hide)

For skills, it'll work like this. You get to pick one major skill, and that skill will always give you a +2 to doing that specific skill. This means that no matter what, you've always got a high chance of doing decent and accomplishing the task.

You will also get to choose two minor skills, in which you will always get a +1 to.

The skills are as follows:

• Pistols
• SMGs
• Assault Rifles
• Sniper Rifles
• Hand-to-hand
• Melee Weapons
• Driving
• Security
• Computers
• Intrigue
• Doctoring
• Stealth

Spoiler: Weapon Modifiers (click to show/hide)

Weapons are only applicable in certain ways. For example, pistols are good for concealing. SMGs are good for close quarters fighting. Assault Rifles are good for full on assaults and defenses. I will be giving modifiers to your rolls as I see fit depending on your weapon's actual viability under certain circumstances. So no, you're probably not going to headshot that smuggler captain from a mile away using a revolver. These modifiers also go along with faulty/cheap equipment.

Spoiler: How Missions Will Work (click to show/hide)

Each player will be given an individual mission. In their individual missions, players will have a decided upon loadout based upon their skills and the mission. They will have a list of contacts in the area and specific objectives. They may also be given operatives to command based on their missions.

[Knave]

Colour me interested! Will read through and make a character

EDIT: quick n dirty sheet:

Agent Code-Number: 333
Agent Nationality: Canada
Major skill: Stealth
Minor skill 1: SMG
Minor skill 2: Security

Vietnam - Sabotage
Agent Darren Morello has been deployed to Ho-Chi Minh City for a sabotage mission. Objective is to plant C4 on target location, which is marked on your GPS. The building contains official records of the death toll from the Vietnam War, and we need to make sure that those are never leaked as they would conflict with our reports.

You have just arrived via helicopter at the docks in the middle of the night, armed with a silenced MP5, C4, and other various items. You are approximately two miles from the target building. You walk up the docks a ways and see two unarmed men loading things into a crate.

[Knave]

Hmm, no sense in giving away my position unless absolutely necessary. Doubtful they're even involved with the target location. Hopefully they didn't notice the helicopter insertion!

Observe and bypass the unarmed men quietly. Only eliminate if spotted.

Agent Code-Number: 543
Agent Nationality: American
Major skill: Security
Minor skill 1: Stealth
Minor skill 2: Pistols
Backstory: A [EXPUNGED] er, man of the law, from a long line of men who also belonged to the law, Jack rose through the ranks quickly, joining the CIA and eventually a group called [EXPUNGED]. That... Didn't work, suffice to say, and he later joined the Dagger Branch.

[Twinwolf]

Spoiler: Agent 492 (click to show/hide)

Agent Name: Analisa Zeal
Agent Code-Number: 492
Agent Nationality: United States
Major skill: Intrigue
Minor skill 1: Stealth
Minor skill 2: Pistols
Backstory: Analisa was an assassin of the highest order in the mafia in New York. Not a mere hitwoman, nor some kind of ninja. No, she completed her objectives by walking in the front door like she was supposed to be there, and often everyone else agreed. People tend to relax in their own homes, and she took full advantage of it. The Dagger branch eventually noticed her skills, and recruitment happened.
((Intrigue is things like bluffing and other 'social' stuff, right?))

Agent Name: Alex Raman
Agent Code-Number: 666
Agent Nationality: American
Major skill: Melee weapons
Minor skill 1: Pistols
Minor skill 2:SMGs
Backstory: Once a hitman for the mob, Alex was good at sending a message. He became known mainly for his skills with close weapons. His most feared calling card was that he would leave a meat cleaver stuck in the victim's head. The FBI had no evidence of his murders, but they did for other crimes. When captured, they gave him a choice: Disappear and work for them on a clean slate, or end up in prison for most of his life. It's obvious which one he chose.

Observe and bypass the unarmed men quietly. Only eliminate if spotted.

While the waves crash against the shore, you silently sneak past the unarmed dock workers (3+2). As you duck out of their line of sight, you hear a voice coming your way. You peek out and see a man with military dress on and a pistol strapped to his side speaking to what seems to be a younger officer wielding an AK-47.
Johnathon Cross - Nepal Assassination Mission
Your objective is to locate and kill a Nepalese politician that is pushing communistic ideas in Parliament. You have been dropped off via airdrop approximately two kilometers away from his mountain home, with a German operative codenamed Agent 102 under your command. You are in the middle of a clearing, and having flown over a village to get there, you feel that the authorities will be searching for you.
Frank Seale - North Korea Hacking Mission
Your objective is to infiltrate a North Korean intelligence post and hack into their network. Once inside, download all possible data from their systems and then delete everything. You have been dropped off on the coast about three kilometers away from the intelligence post. There is a stream going through a forest that leads to the objective.
Snake - Washington D.C Hostage Rescue Mission
Your assignment is to rescue the hostages inside of a skyscraper in Washington. They are CIA undercover agents into an Italian mafia buildup in the area, and they were discovered. They are likely being tortured for information and we need to get them out immediately. You have been helo-inserted onto the rooftop of the skyscraper with three operatives to retrieve the hostages and get out. The hostages are believed to be held a few floors down.

Since you have your full application up, I'll take you before wolf. Sorry wolf, you'll be added to the waitlist.

[SOLDIER First]

Snake signals to the team and opens the door on the roof, if it has one, and descends the staircase.

Alex Raman - Cuba Assassination Mission
For your first assignment you'll be tasked with eliminating a Cuban drug lord. He ordered the execution of one of our UC's, so we've gotta put him down. Under the cover of night, you've been dropped off just inside of his palace compound by boat. The boat will be waiting there for you, so you have to make this assassination quick. As you depart, you see that there are two guards at the docks, and one of them is walking your way.

Snake signals to the team and opens the door on the roof, if it has one, and descends the staircase.

Snake signals for his operatives to cover him as he opens the door on the roof. As he opens it from the side, he realizes that it is clear, and moves down the staircase with his men close behind. As he comes into view of the room below, he sees three thugs inside. They notice him and begin spraying in his direction. Snake takes cover behind the wall of the staircase as bullets fly around him.
