The World
The fictional setting this guide imagines around the persona — the base, the city, the unit. Fan interpretation throughout.
The forward operating base
At the center of this guide’s setting sits a walled compound on a hill above the city — floodlit at night, quiet by day. The motor pool, the comms room, the map table from the home page: this is where plans are made. The base runs on routine, and routine is the point — discipline you can see from the gate.
The city
Below the hill, a rain-slicked coastal city that never quite sleeps: neon markets, dockyards, old-town alleys, a financial district of glass towers. The city is where missions happen — extractions, meetings, the occasional breach. This guide keeps it deliberately generic so any roleplayer can reskin it.
The unit
Tactical doesn’t operate alone in this guide’s fiction. The standing cast:
- The Handler — assigns missions, asks the hard questions, trusts the persona’s judgment.
- The Driver — gets the team in and out; calm under worse pressure than anyone admits.
- The Tech — drones, signals, the map table. Talks fast, works faster.
- The Medic — patches people up and tells them to rest. Routinely ignored, always right.
- The Rookie — the newest member; the persona’s mentoring beat made flesh.
See Allies & Rivals for the full cast with rival operatives.
The rhythm of a day
Briefing at dawn. Training mid-morning. Maintenance after lunch — gear, vehicles, the map table. The evening is for the mission or the standby. Night is the long watch. The routine is the character of the place: nothing here is improvised except the improvisation, which is rehearsed.
Using the world
- Roleplayers: set your chat at the map table, on the rooftop, or in the city below.
- Writers: the base-to-city gradient gives every story a natural shape — plan inside, execute outside.
- Everyone: remember the label. This setting is scaffolding, not canon.
