    Starship Troopers: The Bug War OOC

    IC

    It started out as a "state of heightened awareness", as the government called it. However, any cap trooper worth his shit knows that's a load of bullshit. Truth is, we've been at war with the Arachnids for decades by this point. The government just didn't officially state it to keep the civilians calm. However, when the bugs attacked Terra and wiped Buenos Ares off the map, that's when it became a "state of emergency", though, by that point, any civilian smart enough to think for himself would know that we were now at war with them. Even the Skinnies have unofficially allied with the Federation, and we've been pushing them to make it official. This is war, and it ain't pretty. Get used to it, because your term ain't ending anytime soon.

    So basically, this RP will focus on a single Mobile Infantry outfit known as Harker's Hecklers. While we're not Rasczak's Roughnecks, we'll still be one of the best outfits out there. There's not exactly what I'd call a plot, because we'll be playing a single MI outfit out of thousands, though a plot could come up later one. An option I've considered is that the Hecklers will be trying to climb up and get recognition alongside the Roughnecks. I will allow people from other outfits, though they will be looked at as outsiders and not get the same respect as a soldier that's been in the outfit for many a drop. Because, in the MI, your experience is not measured in years. It's measured in drops.



    Everyone gets a suit of powered combat armor. The bulk of the outfit will have the Marauder armor, one or two might have Scout armor, and Harker gets Command armor.




    A note: Harker has only standard issue weaponry. I wasn't joking when I said the MI were composed entirely of walking arsenals/tanks.

    Name: Nikolas "Spartan" O'Hare

    Age: Thirty-two

    Gender: Male

    Branch: Mobile Infantry

    Rank: Career Lance Corporal. (He refuses advancements despite his time spent and skill level as he doesn't want to be in charge as he is more of a lone Ranger type.)

    Outfit: Harker's Hecklers

    Position: 1st Squad // 1st Section

    Ship: Jimmy Dandy

    Number of Drops: Fifteen

    Personal Info
    Height: 6'2"

    Weight: 193lbs

    Hair Color: Dark Brown

    Eye Color: Forest Green

    Ethnicity: Irish

    Sexuality: Straight

    Appearance:

    Combat Info
    Armor type: Modified Scout Armor

    Offensive capabilities:
    • Primary = Folded Carbon Spear with a Plasma Shotgun attatched to the bottom
    • Mini rockets on the chest section.
    • Multiple plasma grenades attatched to the gauntlet with reloads on the thigh.
    • High caliber blaster pistol.
    • Shield has rotating heated serrated blades around the border.

    Defensive Capabilities:
    • Primary = Multi plated large round shield.

    Combat Style: Spartan is known for his lightning fast and devastatingly accurate strikes. He is at home at the front of the battlefield were the adrenaline runs high. Despite his exponential kill count he is usually the first to be found in the medic bay, how he is still alive is a mystery to most.

    I made a slight modification to the sheet. I need you to add a position section below the Outfit entry so I know which Squad and Section to put him in.

    @Hellbot
    That's fine. Any specific position you'd like to reserve?

    I'd put him in 1st Squad, 1st Section, to be honest. Wherever he goes, he'll get just as many opportunities to kill a bunch of bugs.

    Also, forgot to mention that the bugs do use guns here. They're not true insects, just an insectile race.

    I'll ads that to the OP.

    @Hellbot
    I mean do you want a leadership position? If so, which one? Every cap trooper has basic knowledge of first aid.
