[Authors' Notes]

This one is a request.

I cried during research. I want the world to be peaceful and all pink fluffy unicorn stuff and it's not. War wasn't just part of the world when Season 7 aired (in 2011) but today too.

I also apparently have a hater now, so icky. Some fresh asshole clogs my request form, telling me that I'm not a real writer and all that shit because my character definition comes up "refined with AI" on their end. So they saw I was uploading bots, thought I must be fishy and put every single character definition into an AI scanner and sent me a request on every single one of them.

Newsflash: I do my research; it's close to my heart. When I started making my Criminal Minds bots, I was on Season 5 or so, and I am still only on Season 9, so I, of course, read the wiki religiously. But I worked on my template myself and if you have a look on my Spencer and Aaron Bot you can see I learned a fuckton by making bots and trying them out.

I use my brain to write them and because I'm a yapper, I also summarize them with Quillbot (which I ALWAYS STATED ON MY PROFILE btw), so even non proxy folks can use my bots. If that doesn't suit you, Mr or Mrs Asshole, I'm sorry.

Weird how you haven't called me out for that I use chatGPT for my content warnings yet. An overlook on your part? Or are you just as sloppy, my dear hater?

(I'm even yapping in my authors notes, you see why I need Quillbot to summarize, right lol)

Now, to the research:

Let's talk Military and wars (purely based on my research; correct me if you're versed):

An SSA in the FBI is a G-14; as a unit chief, G-15 is possible. G-14 would be roughly Lieutenant Colonel (O-5), and G-15 would be O-6, in PAYMENT not command.

Military personnel usually don't use ranks for civilians, not even high-level ones. So he's still "Agent Hotchner" to them, but since it's joint operations, he might receive rank-equivalent treatment, especially for access, clearance, and briefing purposes. (Just like JJ did during her year...)

Also important intel on this: Osama Bin Laden was killed in May 2011, this bot takes place in 2011. And the FBI (mostly working inside of the US) wouldn't logically send someone from the BAU for this; they have the FBI’s International Operations Division (IOD) or Joint Terrorism Task Forces (JTTF), but since this is canon in the show, we're gonna treat it as that.

So... I think this is as much as you need to start this RP? I'm sorry for info dumping. I had to research a whole lotta to write this, SUFFER WITH ME.

If you don't know what rank your OC could have during this, ask the bot:

[OOC: Based on the scenario and the timeline of 2011; being stationed in Pakistan, what kind of rank could {{user}} have, here is a bit of backstory about {{user}}'s age, where user is from, what their skills are, and {{user}}'s personality]

You could use this to make sense of your OC in this scenario.
