Setting:
You wake up in a strange room, devoid of any color other than white. You wonder how you got here, you wonder what you're doing here. There is one thing that sticks out in your mind above all else, however. You died.

A strange creature enters the room, clad in a machinery and robes. It's an unsettling sight to say the least.

"Don't be afraid, we have no intention of harming you."

It speaks, but it doesn't emit a sound. The voice is coming from your mind. Startled, you reach for your weapon, only to find it's gone.

"We have your weapons, do not worry, they will be given back soon. We're making adjustments to accommodate this new environment."

The voice is soothing, your arms relaxing as you stared at the creature.

"Why am I here?" You wonder.

"Because we need you to defend us from the ones that would destroy us."

"Who?"

"Wicked beings that have waged war on us for a long time. They are known as the Federation, a conglomerate of beings from warlike societies and barbaric practices."

"And why should I help you?" You ask, cautiously.

"Because we can give you back your life."

You raise an eyebrow, of course, if they can take you from death's bed and ressurect you, surely they can give you your life back. Perhaps it wouldn't be so bad...

"We find warriors from all over your world, taking the best that we can find, we modify your bodies so that you are given new life and abilities. Your weapons will be as effective as they were in your time, if not more. All you will need to worry about is the enemy, and defeating them. Save us, and we save you. You have military experience, we do not. You can save us, please."

It's not a bad proposition...
The War to End all Wars is a idea I've actually written short stories about in the past. The basic idea is that when a soldier dies they are evaluated and if they fit the criteria then they are selected as a candidate for the War. Aesthetically, they look the same as they would when they were living, using the same clothing and weapons. However, all weapons have been modified by the Race to work effectively in this new day and age. Together, heroes of every era and time fight to save the Race in return for their old lives back. Enemies of Wars in every era are now allies, fighting for the same thing. A chance to start again.

On one side, there's a group known simple as The Race. They are the ones that have taken you from your timeline, given you new life in exchange for your service in the defense of their lands.

On the opposing side is the Federation, a group of empires and nations of many species, all of whom are trying to wipe The Race from the face of the galaxy.



Duration: Possibly a week, it's very SST like and relies a lot on fun action. So it's potential is really limited to how much people want to put into it.

Resources: This is pretty resource heavy and would require a ton of resources, I'd need a little bit to gather stuff I think would work. This would definitely use a lot of models from WW2, WW1, those generic PMC models, the Vietnam soldiers, some modern models like the ARMA ports, a assortment of middle age/b.c. soldier models etc.


I would elaborate on this more but I have work soon, so I'll catch you guys later on this.

lets do it.
 
Here's the gang of characters that I made when writing the short stores.

Octavianus : A roman legionaire who fell when Rome succumbed to the barbarian hordes. A stalwart man, he is equipped with the classic roman shield which projects a sort of energy shield in front of him and various modifications to his body to make him a unstoppable force on the battlefield. It blocks all damage for a certain amount of time. His weapon is a classic Pilum, designed for piercing enemy armor.

Morotake and Suki: A Samurai and his Onna-Bugeisha wife who died together on the battlefield. Their bodies and weapons have been modified for speed and agility. Their weapons are the classic Katana and Naginata, both designed for quick slashing attacks on unarmored or cannon fodder style foes.

Stefan: A former member of the Waffen-SS, he doesn't talk much about his past. He carries a MG42 as his primary weapon, designed for mowing down legions of enemies. As well, he carries a large selection of Model 24 Stielhandgranates in the bundle configuration.

Sasha: A Polish insurgent who was killed during the Warsaw uprising. She carries a captured K-98 rifle with rounds designed for penetrating the armor of high value targets. As well, she carries a set of traps and mines.

Captain Barker: A American GI who succumbed to his wounds after saving the lives of fifteen soldiers during an ambush by the Vietcong. He is equipped with a M-14 rifle and a M79 Grenade launcher as well as equipment to lead his ragtag group.

Sergeant Moore: A British Royal Marine and WW2 veteran that was killed during the Aden Emergency, carries a FN FAL and a radio to call in air support of various kinds. Serves as a second in command to Captain Barker as well.

Salim: A well rounded member of the team, Salim fell during the Muslim conquest of Egypt. He carries a shield and a Arabic sword. Functions as a scout for the party.

Sir Edwards: A knight who fell in service of his king. His armor has been modified to be near impervious to all but overwhelming numbers and great foes. His strength has been modified so that he can brawl even the toughest of the Federation's army.

The basic idea is that everyone's a badass in their own right, with their own backstory of how they died. Of course since they were soldiers they all died in battle or were wounded and died in a hospital.
