There is a war going on. The world is a dusty, tattered old thing. But there is life, and there is war. It started about 20 years ago, in the year 2087.
Science was, well, bounding forward. Every day, so-and-so in so-and-such R&D discovered a cure for such-and-such. It was beautiful. The world was a mass of pristine skyscrapers, wonderful plains and... pure air. Well, outside the badlands. But inside? Well, life was hard. Very few people existed there. Each one was eking out a living to travel to the glorious forests beyond.Then someone found it.
ETO-46. The Salvation.
Whatever you call it, it was there. And it brought... magic.
What is this? This is a game. It's about a war between three major factions and some outliers. Basically, a strange object (from outer space) crashed into the Earth in the badlands just outside Serehfa. It gave humanity magic and a devastating war ensued.
Death and destruction rained down, and, well, now it's almost all badlands. Almost. Very few people are left and the remainder are locked in war. The three biggest players are the Techs, those who believe science can save humanity, the Magi, extremist magicians and Unity, a small and weak organisation that just wants to stop the fighting.
There are also outliers. The character sheet is like this.

Anything with the dark grey border is a building. Light grey fill is a Tech building, maroon fill is for Magi, rose is Unity, orange is neutral, purple is the weird UFO and the other stuff is terrain. Blue-grey is ice, cyan is water, light green is grass, dark yellow is wasteland and dark green is forest.
Too complicated? Ask and I shall explain.

Request granted. You are taken into a large room with several sturdy metal chairs. It looks as if it's part of a bunker. Then... read spike's thing, you're in the same room.

i take the LR15, micro railgun, and CDS-45 armour.
if im playing this game, im doing it right.

i added everything to my character sheet.

So... you requested the Shock Spear. Fair enough. It's pretty cool, a retractable spring-loaded electrified spear. You are directed towards a big, bunker-esque room with a speaker at the end of the hall. The speaker begins the briefing.
"Hello everyone. First, may I welcome our new recruits, Spike Archiac, Shadow, Alan Parr and Wesley Davids. Now, to business. Recently, a convoy carrying fuel cells, food supplies, replacement parts and a few light aircraft disappeared en-route to the airport. The most likely suspects are the Magi or maybe pirates.
"There have been reports of many such raids, though not on our transports. We'll be sending you to investigate. Over and out."

The speaker disappears and you realise it was just a hologram. You and your squad, along with another group (stealth_ninja, that's your squad), pile into a (very, like a semi truck) large APC.

About an hour later, everything goes white.

The APC shrieks as the doors and driver's compartment are blasted into huge lumps of slag. No-one is harmed, except the drivers, but you're floored and blinded for a moment. Looking out, you can hear guns firing and people screaming. A fireball whizzes past. A purple fireball.

Definitely Magi.

@spike -

second, explain what SC, SM, SSS, ST, and AP mean.

Just say what you want to do during combat. This isn't Pokemon, you aren't locked into a fixed battle just by making eye contact. As for the ranks:
SC - Squad Commander
LSC - Lieutenant Squad Commander (you)
SM - Squad Medic
SSS - Squad Sharpshooter
ST - Squad Trooper
AP means armour points.
also i dont know what an APC is.

Armoured Personnel Carrier. Basically an armoured metal box on wheels (or in this case, treads) that carries soldiers.
Now, the actual update:

i get out of the truck and begin firing the LR at anything close that isnt friendly.

You take out a few... golems along with a couple of Magi, but then you're thrown back with yet another flash into a smoking tank with a large hole in it. You aren't very badly damaged, but you notice that Guy, one of the squad's Troopers, has taken a serious hit. From the looks of it, his flamethrower was blown up by a fireball.
From your vantage point in the tank (which is still semi-operational), you can see that the attackers are maybe 23 Magi, with an escort of several weird monsters. Then someone groans from under you.

Erin and Jasmine, the only other soldiers with exoskeletons, run with you. Behind you, you see Stitch running towards a tank , shortly before he's hit by a guy in CDS-45 armour. You've also identified the source of the deadly purple fire: a Magus, seemingly floating on nothing, right in the middle of the battlefield.
He seems to be the commander of the army.

Not sure how position and rank go hand-in-hand with being a pirate. Guess that's up to you. This good?

I didn't fully understand that, but I take it that I was blasted into the tank. if that's the case, and you said its partially operational, I drive it towards the closest magi soldier and drive him down.

No rank for you, but position is just about location.

You wake up in a room. Beside your bed, there's a case full of money worth about 1,000*. There are trees and more houses outside. Dense trees, with just about all of the settlement covered by canopy. With a shock, you realise your pillow is stained with dry blood. You feel a gash in your head, and... well, then you notice the bandages.
A man, perched on a chair next to you, says something. It sounds like "Good, you're awake. Here's your cut of the money: a sweet 1,000 credits. We lost everything but our clothes in the heist, though," but it's hard to tell. Everything's hazy. "We should probably get some weapons with this cash."

The tank, whining reluctantly, moves slowly towards the Magus. Then the railgun goes off and the woman disappears messily. It's about then that you notice the angry medic, who yells at you before quickly jabbing a needle into the tank's heavily injured gunner.

You succeed in (perhaps critically) injuring him before a shield goes up. Suddenly all the Magi are looking at you. Time to move.

would you mind hitting enter between character sheets and reactions? this makes it easier to see what I need to copy-paste.

I drive towards another one. if it teleports, I jump out of the car and call for some of my units.

I rub my head and try to focus my eyes on the person standing in the chair, what he looks like. I then ask him "Mind leading me to a weapon vender nearest to us? I'm still a little woozy."
