Post Apocalypse/Military Roleplay OOC

Here's the OOC for the post-apocalypse roleplay. We decided on an astronomical event for the cause of the apocalypse, particularly a series of meteor showers, enough to decimate much of the globe. We'll be playing as members of the U.S. Military or others dragged along by them, and we're restoring order to American cities one at a time. The first city we're starting with is Boston, Massachussetts.

Here's my character sheet.

Service Affiliation: United States Navy

Rate: Hospital Corpsman 2nd Class (Fleet Marine Force)

Job Scope: Helps to maintain the health of a fourty-man Marine Corps infantry platoon.

Combat Experience: Experienced sporadic combat in all three of his deployments in Afghanistan.

Personality: Although he can be mature and focused when the situation demands it, Pleasants generally strikes people as a fairly laid-back and light-hearted guy. He enjoys watching action and comedy movies with his friends and can often be found poking fun at people, running long distances, reading good books, and listening to chill music.

Appearance: Tall, lanky, wiry build. Sandy-brown hair, all mussed up. Tanned skin, light grey eyes. A shit-eating grin is often plastered on his face. Wears the standard-issue MARPAT camouflage uniform with coyote brown MTV body armor and no-shine boots. Tactical gloves, bought with his own paycheck. Kevlar helmet with tactical goggles strapped around. A ballpoint pen and a plastic kazoo are clipped to the goggle's headband. Camelback-type water carrier on back. Wears a Corpsman-type assault pack, along with several other satchels filled with supplies. A loosely-wrapped olive drab shemagh is around his neck. Tends to wear his sleeves rolled to the elbow.

Background: Coming from a well-to-do Southern household, Pleasants was the first in his family to serve in the military. His childhood and adolescent years were fairly mundane, and by his senior year of high school Pleasants was itching to go do something, be a part of something bigger than himself, and so on. Flipping burgers at his local McDonald's just wasn't cutting it. Although he initially desired a USMC grunt MOS, after Pleasants found he scored high on a high school ASVAB test he changed his mind, deciding to instead enlist as a Corpsman for Marine Corps line infantry. Ever since then, the going's been tougher than he expected, but Pleasants somehow manages to make the most of it - one day at a time.

Name: Kaylin Savoy

Spoiler

http://i579.photobucket.com/albums/s...-d4mhpq4-2.jpg

Sex: Female

Age: 28

Race: Caucasian (Italian Heritage)

Nationality: American

Occupation: Un-employed - Recently resigned from Boston Medical Hospital Ambulance Paramedic for unsaid reasons.

Combat Experience: None....

Personality Report: Allison was one of the most respected and caring members of the Hospital's first response team. She was always cautious and careful. A bit of a worrier but that made her prepared for most situations always putting herself ahead of others. She takes loss of life to the heart which is why I believe she retired from the position after the Collapsed tunnel Incident near the Science Museum.

((News would have reported nation wide on the big dig tunnels collapsing on December 15th, 2011. A paramedic would have gone in with an ambulance to try and save people in the rubble but sadly half the lives were lost in the mile road collapse. ))

Background: Allison was the daughter to an upper class Italian family known as House of Savoy. They use to own most of the Island of Sicily before WWII. Right after WWII ended the family was exiled for funding The Axis powers. In 2003 the families related to Savoy were allowed to move back but Allison refused staying inside of Boston Massachusetts and finishing Boston University Medical School. Once she graduated she took over her internship position and became a permanent full time Ambulance Paramedic. Her social life was not much she use to be a cheerleader in High school and college but she would never seem to accept dates with anyone. She did have some dates a few in high school and one in college. She sadly seems to fit in with the more nerdy side of things from super heroes to dungeons and dragons. She was a huge fan of Karaoke and clubs but those seem to be the only places open after her 2 am shift.

Current Status: working as a waitress in the local bar.

Physical description: Look at photo......

GM, how many players are you getting before we start IC?

Will have CS up later. Right now I have things to take care of/Final Fantasy XIII-2/Halo/other threads I'm working on.

I hate to break it to you, Teddy, but you're picture doesn't match. That's not a Master Guns. That's former Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps, Sergeant Major Estrada. He's got the same number of rockers, but you need to pay attention to what's in the center. Here, a Master Guns's rank for reference:

Y'see, he's got the EGA in the center, not the bomb.
