Description
Meet the Korean black ops and spooky unit, Shadow Paranormal Commandos.
Well, it's been awhile that I've made two paranormal troopers several years ago and now I've added third one to this list.
Time to talk about the artwork. A very long time, I've created four-men squad for the CIA T.A.S.K Force but I lost it as now but I remembered it a long time ago. Now today, I made a team of 16 men but in two teams of 8. I've calculated myself. But the toughest part was the Korean mythology which it's almost identical with the Chinese and Japanese mythical creatures. However, some of them are popular ones like Dokkaebi and Kumiho.
But the easy part is themed with the Korean Reunification because they are equally the same but it has nothing to do with politics which, as always, North and South Korea are still technically at war.
Three Paranormal Troopers are done, two more to go. In the meantime, enjoy my artwork.
Leader: Yong Jin-Ho and Chen Lee-Mao
Alignment: Taoist Lotus Clan
Allies: Coyato Han Bandits, B.A.S.E, and Sen-Hon Yeong
Enemies: Imperial 69, the Hades Invaders and Aum Shinrihyo
Location: Korea
Shadow Paranormal Commandos is the East Asian Deadly Alliance, the Korean Deadly Alliance, the Modern Deadly Alliance, and the Military Deadly Alliance as well the team member of the Taoist Lotus Clan and the CIA T.A.S.K Force as one of five Paranormal Troopers. A top secret black ops unit created by the reunification ministries to combat terrorisms from the Yellow Nation and the alien invaders from Planet Hades with their supernatural powers and ancient magics.
Origins
The Early Days
Following the end of the Joseon War in 1953 on modern day Antichthon, the nation was split into two and signed the armistice deal after the defeat of the North by the Allied Forces and the withdrawal of the Tsarian Army, came the progressive government based on the free economy and traditional old ways of their heritage while the south came with the democratic government. Unlike our world where North Korea and South Korea are still technically at war, the two nations signed the peace treaty when the communist government became a failed government following the natural disaster caused by floods, opening the borders between the two countries with trades, diplomacy and their international interests.
Behind the scenes of the peace treaty, the governments of Joseon Peninsula created the shadowy covert operative unit Black Ops and Spook agents to combat terrorism and supernatural threats as well to ensure the peace is still intact by their own unit.
Thus, the Shadow Paranormal Commandos was created.
The Tri-Nation Crisis
Following the peace treaty had been signed by the two leaders, the Yellow Nation (the Republic of Buraki) attacked the united islands without a warning and occupied the island with their Artox Armed Force. In the response of such condemnation, the Joseon governments declared war on the Yellow Nation and they've sent their own best Black Ops unit to carry out their own mission. The Blue Shadow Commandos is led by Yong Jin-Ho, a patriotic commander from New Joseon, and the Red Shadow Commandos is led by Chen Lee-Mao, a national hero from Old Joseon. Both have a different ideology but they both wish to see the reunification but it takes some time to fruition that wish.
As they were sent to one of the occupied Dan-Ilseong Islands by boat at nightfall, separately, the two teams have infiltrated the Burakian outpost nearby the village and eliminated the enemy troops inside and around the base until they were encountered to each other and battle together against their common enemy. After the battle, however, they just don't get along a bit (except the Gen-Ki's) although they had the same wish of reunification. The two teams went to their separate ways and focus on their mission but they'll meet each other later.
For several days, the Blue Shadow Commandos have liberated the southern islands where they've captured the enemy outposts, destroyed their prototype drones, and freed the island villagers. Their mission was to find and destroy their Weapons of Mass Destruction and gather the intelligence they need to stop the Artox Army's plan, codenamed Operation: Yellow Chaos. After they have gathered the intel, the Blue Shadow Commandos were sent to the Burakian Island where the Artox Army are prepared their final solution that it will destroy the Joseon Peninsula with their unknown super weapon aimed at the capitals.
Meanwhile, the Red Shadow Commandos have liberated the northern islands where they did too the same as their counterpart but they've also assassinated the Artox commanders and their general, weakening their morality and their army. Same as the Blue Shadow Commandos, they discovered the image of their super weapon, it's some sort of a beacon to their nuclear satellite with the capability to destroy two capitals in one blast. With the information about their plan is revealed to them, the Red Shadow Commandos were sent to the Burakian island to put an end to Artox Army's evil plan.
On the final day of ending the crisis, the two team sent into the Burakian island to stop the Artox Army and this time they have to work together if they want to put an end to this crisis once and for all. Their mission was to defeat the elite force of the Artox Army, disarmed the super weapon, and capture or kill the leader of the Artox Army.
As they've landed on their island, the base on the high alert as their presence are known and they have to fight on to complete the final mission and end the crisis.
As they breached into their stronghold where the super weapon is held there, the two teams faced off with the mysterious leader's elite paranormal troopers whom had the supernatural powers. Fighting them is no easy task when they were overmatched until Yong Jin-Ho and Chen Lee-Mao and their team unlocked their new power to defeat them and that power was their Aura and used it against them as they worked together as a team. After they've defeated his elite troopers, the mysterious leader was revealed to them: it was Aum Shinrihyo, the mastermind of the crisis and the mad evil demon sorcerer who supposedly died one thousand years ago. They've learned that Shinrihyo had also manipulated the Two Joseon Nations and aided Buraki as he created his own army and his army was Artox Army in order to conquer the Joseon Peninsula and create his own empire. That won't happened as the Shadow Paranormal Commandos found a weakness of his super weapon. They destroyed its power source made with the essence of Chaos and averted the disaster once and for all. The Artox Army and Buraki are defeated. The Shadow Paranormal Commandos were about arrest Shinrihyo but he escaped from them and vanished without a trace. But, they will find him someday.
With their mission accomplished, they returned to Joseon as heroes and they put their difference aside and work together as a big team to combat paranormal threats and terrorists from wherever they can be.
The Invasion from Hades
Five years later, the two Joseon Nations are living in peace and harmony while they keep an eye on Buraki for any suspicious activity. The Shadow Paranormal Commandos went to rest and relax for five years and they talked about the reunification of Joseon but that would take some time to think about it as long as there's a signed peace treaty on the table.
Then suddenly, the skies turned dark as they hear a rumbling noises coming from above and saw something as they walked out from their barracks and looked up, something that it blown their mind: the alien invaders known as the Hadesians attacked Joseon and the two countries were on the highest alert as well their neighboring countries and the Shadow Paranormal Commandos were called by the government once again to defeat the alien invaders.
As the Shadow Paranormal Commandos were reported to the Demilitarize Zone for their new mission briefing, they received the transmission from unknown source and it came from the Hadesians, broadcasted from their Mothership. Emperor Han-Doe Song, the leader of his invading army demands the unconditional surrender from the government and lay down their weapons peacefully; naturally they refuse and so as the Shadow Paranormal Commandos as they receive orders to destroy the invaders, wherever they occupied in the peninsula.
As they're carrying out their mission to defeat the Hades Invaders, they've successfully retaken their bases, freed the prisoners and hostages, sabotaged their research and propaganda machines, and assassinated their commanders and elite officers, weakening their morality and will to fight and conquer a small piece of the planet.
Once again, they use their Aura of supernatural powers and ancient magic. This time, they have to save the sacred shrines of Joseon which they were threatened by the Hadesians whom believed that the shrines has the source of energy, the Joseonium. Once they've saved the sacred shrines and secured the Joseonium, the location of the Hadesians' Mothership is revealed to them and the location is above the Burakian Seas and they're heading towards New Joseon's Jabon City which means they suspected that someone is plotting to take over the Joseon Peninsula and they can guess one name.
Heading to Jabon City, they were in a nick of time and hijacked one of the Hadesians' transport ships and onboard to their Mothership. As they've breached through their shield barrier defenses, they fought their way find and stop Emperor Han-Doe Song and end their invasion. As they were near the Hadesian Emperor's position, they were seized and captured including Yong Jin-Ho and Chen Lee-Mao and taken to the inner sanctum. However, the team split in half just in case if they were captured; good thing they had in mind because the Hadesians were powerful and extremely dangerous.
As they were brought to the inner sanctum, they've came to face to face with Emperor Han-Doe Song for the first time and then Aum Shinrihyo who is revealed the mastermind of that event and they see why he want it so bad again. As the Hadesian Mothership is on the target position above the capital, their enemies were about to fire up their beam cannon but the cannon was sabotaged by the other team and they've rescued their two commanders and regrouped with them as they fought back against the alien invaders. As they've finished the remaining alien warriors off, their nemeses have escaped but not without a fight as they're heading up to the top of the Mothership and only Yong Jin-Ho and Chen Lee-Mao are racing against time to save Joseon and the planet.
On the top of the Mothership, the two heroes finally confronted the villains. But they were about to fight, Aum Shinrihyo tricked them including Emperor Han-Doe Song as he triggered the self-destruct sequence and escaped with his stolen ship. But they will get him again someday and now they have to fight the Hadesian Emperor himself in a two-on-one combat with swords. In a fierce combat, the two commanders battled the evil alien emperor with strategy and wits, overpoweringly him until he is defeated. Victorious, they escaped the Mothership with another hijacked alien transport ship while Emperor Han-Doe Song escaped with his own ship along with his remaining troopers with humiliated defeat as the Mothership flew up to further away from the destruction until it reached to low orbit and exploded in space.
The Joseon Nations are saved for now and their mission was a success.
Returning back to their base, the Shadow Paranormal Commandos were hailed as the Heroes of Joseon for defending two nations from the evil alien invaders. But they know that Aum Shinrihyo is still out there and they'll be ready for him and his Artox Army whenever and wherever they come.

Wow. Well, I can remember that one with the eyepatch does remind me of that one that Jack fought along with several others of his kind.
But those two lizards? I didn't see them in Samurai Jack, unless their based on that one lizard that those dog people wanted to enlist in helping them stop Aku, right?
