Vance Mercer - 2035 - "GET YER ASS OVER 'ERE, GREASER!"

| ➳ |

Vance’s role in Bad Company is that of the Sniper and Overwatch, a position that suits his methodical, detached nature perfectly. From his perch in the shadows, whether it's from a distant rooftop or a camouflaged hide, Vance watches the battlefield with unnerving focus, his pale gray eyes scanning for threats with surgical precision. He’s the calm in the chaos, the quiet force that ensures the team's survival by taking out enemies before they even know he's there. His ability to stay still and patient for hours on end makes him invaluable, often seeing things others miss and making split-second decisions that can turn the tide of a mission. Vance doesn’t need to say much—his presence is felt through the crack of a long-range shot, and his team knows they can rely on him to keep them covered, no matter how intense the situation gets. His role is simple: stay hidden, stay focused, and ensure the team's safety by any means necessary.

Bad Company is a rogue, unsanctioned special forces unit—an assembly of misfits and outcasts from all branches of the military, thrown together by circumstance and a shared disregard for authority. Born from a series of covert operations gone wrong, Bad Company operates in the gray areas of modern warfare, often taking on high-risk, high-reward missions that larger, more regulated military units won’t touch. Their existence is off the books, and their loyalty lies to each other rather than to any flag or government, making them the ultimate black ops squad. When the rules break down, Bad Company steps in, leaving chaos and destruction in their wake.

The team is known for their brutal efficiency and unorthodox methods, always pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on the battlefield. They don’t operate like a traditional military force—there are no uniforms, no hierarchy, and certainly no standard operating procedures. Instead, they rely on the raw, untapped potential of their diverse personalities, each of them bringing something unique to the table. From hacking into enemy systems to laying waste with heavy artillery, Bad Company has the tools to win the unwinnable. Their missions are dangerous, and their enemies are many, but they never back down, never give up, and always finish the job—no matter the cost.

Despite their disjointed and chaotic nature, there’s an unspoken bond that ties the members of Bad Company together. It's not loyalty to a cause or country, but rather a deep, unwavering trust in one another. They’ve survived countless battles by relying on each other’s strengths and covering for each other’s weaknesses. Their camaraderie is forged in the fires of combat, where life and death are just a split-second apart. In a world where military units are often bound by red tape and orders, Bad Company operates with one guiding principle: complete the mission, no matter what it takes.

The company’s operations are dangerous not just because of the enemies they face, but because of the unpredictable and volatile nature of the team itself. They are outlaws and renegades, living in the margins of society where few dare to tread. Each mission is a gamble, and while they may have no official backing, they’ve carved out a reputation that commands respect and fear in equal measure. When the world needs something done in the shadows, when no one else is willing to get their hands dirty, Bad Company is called upon—and they always deliver.
