👉👈 might i inquire about ghost's blackmail for the WIP game? love your stuff btw!
Thank you!!! (⁠っ⁠˘⁠з⁠(⁠˘⁠⌣⁠˘⁠ ⁠) /p
With the least detail I can give you... Here is the plot so far, with some bits I wanna share >:3
I think this was how this ask game was supposed to go,,
SPOILERS FOR ALL OF GHOST'S BLACKMAIL SO FAR and future stuff.
My thoughts for Ghost's Blackmail were mostly from a conversation I think I had with some friends, but it honestly could've been a dream (/hj).
In the event Simon escaped, the zaragoza cartel would have tapes to force him back. To release if he refused.
They died before they got the chance to use them on him.
But someone else has their grubby hands on it.
Ghost was Shepherd's before he was ever Price's. Ghost went from Roba to Shepherd to Price. He's a tool to Shepherd, no more than a dog. Shepherd has no problem leaking it. Plus, he has men to do his dirty work.
They kidnap Ghost.
But with the whole fic in Price's POV (not first person, but following Price), he doesn't know what was said. Or everything that happened.
But he knows something is fucked.
It always is with Shepherd, isn't it?
Ghost's Blackmail takes place in between the end of MWII and after they learn that Graves is alive, if that makes sense. But like if MWIII hardly existed.
Anyway.
Something is off with Soap once they get out, he's silent and gruff with everyone. He's latched to Ghost for the most part.
Price doesn't want to think about what could have happened in there. Kyle was by his side the whole time, being his rock while his own anger simmered. He wanted them as bad as Price, but their men were most important.
Shepherd had connections to the zaragoza cartel. Like Major Vernon, he could have been in their pocket. And now it's his job to keep Ghost on a short leash. Threats, capture, etc, all part of the plan.
Shepherd needs him back before the chain on the mutt snaps. Price lets him go too far, Shepherd thinks. Ghost was nothing but a tool for Shepherd to use, much like Shadow Company was for him. And damnit, he used his tools till they broke.
He wanted to break Simon, like Roba was unable to.

⚔️ MWII (2022) Character Ages (as of 2022) ⚔️
I was on a character age brainrot back in January and now It's back because of @angelsarewatching so I'm gonna go ahead and post this on Tumblr. Tell me what you think tho and discussions are open!
🐑 Gen. Shepherd - Around late 50s, Pushing 64. I searched it up and apparently, the mandatory retirement age for all general officers is 62, in some cases 64. But if he got into the recommendation list after Brigadier General (O-7), it's allowed to be more than 62. He's a Lt. Gen, so that's O-9. Also, Glenn Morshower (Shepherd's actor) is 64 so let's go with that.
🧠 Laswell - 47-ish. At MOST 55. (Rya Khilstedt is 52. AMAZING BEAUTIFUL SHOW -STOPPING)
🚁 Nikolai - 45 as well. I would go with 48 though.
��� Graves - 40. He gives Texan cowboy energy. I just know he's an old dude and is actually older than the rest of the gang.
🛖 Alejandro and 🦂 Valeria - 37. Maybe 38. I don't know at what age someone could make the rank Colonel 'cause that's quite high up the ladder. (They might as well be older than Price. Shit, they might be 40.)
🚬 Price - 37 (Canon) c. 1985.
🐎Rudy - 36. He's been close with Alejandro for 20 years now. Assuming they're bestest of friends and knew each other even before military, Rudy would be around 36/37 as well.
💀 Ghost - 35 or lower. As far as I know, lieutenants are usually young, unless he enlists first before a few years later he went to the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst (RMAS). OR. His preference and efficiency of working alone are far better for use on the battlefield. The higher you are in the ranks, the more soldiers you are responsible for. So the higher-ups might purposefully don't promote him (and he prefers and agrees to it as well) so that he can continue working alone rather than leading a squad. He surely can lead a team, but he's better at doing shit alone. Crazy theory but hey, it's fiction.
🦿Alex - 35 (Alex was a Delta Force until 2013. Assuming he's around 26 when he finally goes to the CIA, that means he's around 32yo in 2019 and 35yo in 2022)'
🔭 Hadir - 33/34 (Canon) 1989/1990. I’m choosing 34 tho since in the ‘Hometown’ mission he was almost a teenager.
☀️ Farah - 30 (Canon) January 12th 1990.
🧢 Gaz - 26 (Canon). The bio says he enlisted in the British Army in 2014. Assuming Gaz finished high school first, he must’ve enlisted when he was 18yo. That means he was 23yo in MW19 and 26yo in MW22. 
🧼 Soap - 26 (Canon). He’s canonically the youngest one in Task Force 141. The bio mentioned that his cousin is in SAS and he often time visits the base. Setting aside the fact that the cousin brought a fucking kid to a top-secret base, lil’ Johnny must’ve been like “I DON’T WANNA GO TO SCHOOL I WANT TO BE AN SAS SOLDIER” and he canonically LIED about his age. Apparently, he went in when he was 16 but got caught several times, until finally when he was 18 he got in.

That's it folks! Tell me what you think (。・∀・)ノ゙

Once again, Gaz is the voice of reason. This has got to be the reason why Soap and Price rarely team up, and why they’re usually paired with the ‘levelheaded’ ones. 😂

How General Shepard actually killed Roach
Me and my partner were talking and the image popped into my head of this happening. Might draw this better quality later.

141!Reader: Interrogation
Soap: Shepherd won't talk. Should we... you know? Price: Use torture? No. Y/N will handle it. Ghost: Y/N? You mean 5'2 Y/N? Soap: Yeah, how the hell would Y/N be intimidating? Price: Just watch. [In the interrogation room] Reader: Let's play a little game I made. All you have to do is pick a candy bar, one has a blade. If you eat the wrong one, I swear to God, boy, that's on you. All I know is if you spit that shit out, boy, I bet I'd shoot. Shepherd: Also Shepherd: What the fuck-

RANKS OF CALL OF DUTY!!
To help my fellow COD fanfiction writers with ranks of the military, because (this may just be me being picky) but it incessantly annoys me when someone writes König as a lower rank as Ghost, or Price a higher rank than Alejandro. Hopefully this helps! Reblogs appreciated :)
Also, these characters are not from the same country, so their ranks may be different due to their affiliations. I combined the American and British ranks together for more accuracy. If I'm wrong, please let me know so I can correct myself!
Will be in the format of
Highest rank-
-Rank:
Name, name, name
-"
-"
-"
Lowest rank
Reblogs appreciated!
--
General:
-Norris
-Herschell Shepherd (it depends but he's also a Lieutenant General in some games)
Lieutenant General:
-Herschell Shepherd
Brigadier:
❌️
Colonel:
-Alejandro Vargas
-König*
-Marshall (the dude who had his muppets on a string /ref)
Commander:
-Farah Karim*
-Phillip Graves*
Lieutenant Colonel:
❌️
Major:
❌️
Captain:
-John Price
-John "Soap" MacTavish (2009 games)
-Viktor Reznov
Lieutenant:
-Simon "Ghost" Riley
-Hadir Karim*
Second Lieutenant:
❌️
--
Sergeant Major:
-Rodolfo Parra
Warrant Officer:
❌️
Staff Sergeant:
-Nikolai (but the name of his rank is "Senior Sergeant" because he's Russian)*
-Griggs
Sergeant:
-John "Soap" MacTavish (2019 version)
-Kyle "Gaz" Garrick
-Keegan Russ
-Roach
Corporal:
-Krueger*
Lance Corporal:
❌️
Private:
❌️
So, in the span of things:
König > Price > Ghost
Rudy > Nikolai > Soap > Krueger
Farah = Graves
Ghost = Hadir
König = Alejandro
Edit: As some have stated in the comments, PMC ranks do not equate to "proper" military ranks. As such, take what I say with a pinch of salt. PMC characters/characters not in the military will now have an asterisk (*) next to their name. :)
If you'd like me to add to this let me know! Comments or reblogs work :). This'll update pretty steadily:)

FORBIDDEN FRUIT
Tumblr media
Chapter Two- The Shadow Chapter One Masterlist
Pairing: God! Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley x Female Reader
Prompt: A prophecy written long ago stated of a human that would become the God’s wife and live in his domain for the rest of eternity.
A/n: Thank you for all the love on the previous chapter! And a special thanks to @soapyghost for giving me some ideas for Ghost’s appearance!
“Then why don’t you?” His deep voice cut through the balmy night.
You felt the chill before you even turned around. There was something terribly wrong about the way this voice purred– something dark and dangerous that was met to lure in tortured souls.
But you were never one to be scared of the dark.
With curious eyes, you turned from the crow in the briar, paying little attention to the goosebumps that littered your arms. In this moment, it felt more like winter than the peak of summer. How strange.
At first when you had glanced in the direction of the voice, you couldn’t see anything. The gardens were dark, barely lit by the occasional lantern that burned fresh oil.
Then you caught the slight definition of a silhouette, perched against the marble monument of your clan’s crest.
“Who are you?” You strained, attempting to get a good look at the shadow. The dark figure was tall, taller than anyone in your village. Still, you didn’t seem to cower, even though you likely should.
“That doesn’t matter now.”
“If you won’t tell me your name, step into the light.”
An amused hum escaped from him, before he sat up straight, no longer leaning comfortably against the marble statue. Instead, his feet stepped hesitantly into the light pooling from the lantern.
Your eyes rounded as you tried to drink up every detail about this stranger. He was tall and wide, weathered and torn. In all honesty you weren’t sure this man was even human.
He wasn’t unlike his silhouette, covered in articles of black. If you looked closely, you could see the material swirling like smoke around his body.
Every instinct screamed for you to run– to go back to your mother and apologize for the way you’ve been acting. For something terribly wicked had just found you, and was staring like you were the only thing that was left on Earth. The skull he wore upon his face made it even worse, the bleached bone etched with dark paint, as if this was a helm for battle.
You should’ve ran… for he was death.
“You’re more beautiful than my mind could have ever conjured.” He mumbled.
Your mouth felt dry at the words, and when you went to speak, nothing came out. With round eyes, your brain spun in circles. His previous words had implied that he thought of you before, but you’ve never seen this man in your life.
A loud caw made you flinch, drawing your attention back to the crow upon the briar. The bird fluttered to your shoulder, digging its claws gently into your flesh. It had never landed upon you before.
A slow chuckle escaped from the man at the little bird’s call. You swiveled back to him, curiously watching his eyes through the skull.
“Come.” He tilted his fingers in a beckoning motion. Your face wrinkled at his bluntness, until the crow flapped it’s wings towards the man. 
Your eyes did a double-take as the black feathers of the bird shifted, instead turning into a gorgeous silver brooch. With a clip to the man’s clothes, it extended into a cloak.
“You- you’re the crow?” You stammered, feeling violated at all the times the bird had watched you.
“No. The crow is part of me.” His eyes fell to your neckline, a glimmer in his dark eyes at the rubies that sat perched upon the hollow of your throat. The rubies he had gave you.
“I don’t understand.”
“And I wouldn’t expect you to. Your mother has done wisely to hide you from me. To wed you off to another.”
“I don’t belong to anyone.” You found some boldness. His eyes flickered with amusement.
“No… you do not. Walk with me?” He let the offer stand, something you were hesitant to do. This man was a stranger– someone with the possession of magic. He swirled in his own darkness and chill.
Yet, you trusted him completely.
With careful steps you drew closer, feeling your heart race as you grew near inches from him. “I’ll walk with you. If you tell me your name.” You struck the deal, feeling small as his black eyes flickered down to you.
“I go by many. Some call me Hades, others Pluto, I’ve even been called Ghost. But for now, you may call me Simon.”
“Simon.” You tested the waters, not noticing the small shiver that tensed through his shoulders at his name.
He nodded his head, beckoning you to follow down the grassy path and into the winding meadows. Fireflies lit the path as you followed behind, making the scene that much more eerie. You bit your lip as you watched him stomp a path out for you to step, his shoulders and back tense with each step.
Your thoughts spun rapidly, it was then when you realized you’ve never introduced yourself to the man.
“I never even said who I was and you act as if you know me.”
He turned to you, towering over your small form in a way that only oozed raw power.
“I’ve known of you all my life. I’ve heard your name whispered in my head more than I can count. I’ve thought of you every minute of every cold miserable day.”
His hand reached to your cheek, but he did not touch you. He dropped his hand, as if he would break you with a single touch.
“You had me in your hands since the dawn of time.”
Air ceased to enter your lungs at such a proclamation. You couldn’t handle looking him in the eyes.
“How?” Was all you had said, and he looked as if he would have answered, if not for the mocking laugh that disturbed you both.
“You’re not supposed to be here.” Shepherd’s commanding voice made your body freeze as you turned to face him. The air grew chillier as Simon moved to stand in front of you, subtly shielding you from your betrothed.
“It’s midnight. The summer solstice is over, I can do as I please.” His deep voice angrily spat at Shepherd. You peaked around Simon’s shoulder, now fully being able to observe the eldest man.
He was no longer in the suit he wore to the feast, instead armor covered his legs and arms, a large and glimmering chestpiece fitted his chest, among with a helmet of shining gold.
“You’re taking what is mine.” He growled, unsheathing a large sword from his side. You gulped at the blade and the wicked flames that burned in your betrothed eyes.
“You dare? What’s yours? Has your thick skull forgotten of the prophecy?” Simon growled, you took notice of his own body shifting, silver slipping upon his body that formed into his own armor, molded to fit around his enormous frame. If you weren’t so confused and dazed you could have sworn you saw dark wings flutter against his back in anger.
“It seems to have slipped my mind…” Shepherd growled, turning his flamed eyes to your form, a sinister grin passing over his lips. “Come back to me, little bird.” He cooed dangerously. This was more of a command than a suggestion.
You felt the dangerous pull of Shepherd, your mind mush as an invisible force pushed you past Simon and closer to the man. You fought against the force, digging your heels into the dirt.
Simon’s hand felt like ice as he gripped onto your wrist. A hiss escaping him, when literal sparks flew from your connected touch.
“When you spoke of flying away, did you mean it? I won’t force you into fleeing if it’s not what you truly desire.” He spoke fast, eyes flickering dangerously between Shepherd and yourself. His stance coiled, as if ready for a potential fight.
You thought for a split second, your mind flashing to your clan, your mother, and your betrothed with eyes of flaming fire.
With an exhale, your eyes met his own shadowy ones.
“Take me away…”

HOLY SHIT
INTERACTION WITH FERAL GRIM AND GENERAL SHEPARD WHEN?!
But seriously!! Think of the potiental!!!
Gen Shepard goes down to see who this "Grim" is and why Graves and his shadows are so fucking terrified, only to find none of the 141 or KorTac on base. So, he looks where anyone would look after not seeing a member of either teams in the halls, the kitchen/breakroom. What does he find? A dark room with two glowing eyes staring at him from the darkest corner. Old white man is spookyed, but turns on the light. He finds grim, legs on the ceiling and hands on the wall staring at him, and when I say General Shepard shits enough bricks to build a goddamn mansion when grim start growling you bet I fucking mean it!
He tries (and fails) to not look scared because he's a military General in the greatest nation God dammit!
Gen Shepard yells at grim to "get the fuck down and stop acting like a damn freak!" To which they do, like a damn demon from any of the conjuring movies mind you, and lunges at General Shepard once on the ground.
Cue chase scene of grim barking and making feral noises while running after General Shepard on all fours, this was of course recorded as he was screaming like a little bitch
Now if anyone reports grim to him, he just let's them be and waits for the flashbacks he got by simply heading their name to stop.
Lesson? Don't fuck with grim if the 141 or KorTac don't like you
Also grim has taken 3 bullets directly to the chest and only got more enraged, when asked how they felt, they responded with "my chest feels wonky, like my lungs are 2 water balloons and my heart is beating to some pop song. Otherwise fine!"
A/N: I read wonky as wanky 😭😭
I totally agree with this though Grim would literally haunt the dreams of General Shephard, like the shit he saw as a soldier is not as bad as that chase.
"Sir, Grim bit another soldier-"
"I don't want to hear it," he responded, Was he tired of the bullshit? yes, he always was but it's better to leave you and bite another soldier than to bite him. I mean he is old after all so let's just let him enjoy his last years on Earth. (Not really he deserves hell tbh)
He still has horrible nightmares about you, it's like those black and white films that are like 'scary' but he actually gets mini heart attacks at times.
You are now the reason his kids want to take him to a therapist and put him on meds.
