Doesn't seem to matter which profession you may have chosen in life, eventually you hear those immortal words; "It's a young persons game." Then you are out the door and wondering what to do with your life. That is hard enough if you are in the world of business or medicine; it is even harder when you were trained to kill. What in the hell are you supposed to put on your resume? [b]Skills:[/b][list][*] Knife Throwing[*] IED's[*] Stomaching MRE's without my ass blowing out[/list] I mean if you aren't applying for a position as a local NRA weapons cache gaurd, you don't have a lot of options left in the civilian section. It isn't like you can go up to the local Wal-Mart and become a greeter. I mean, seriously, can you imagine the reaction if you were to walk into the door and were greeted with this?

Only real option is to keep doing what you have always done; and done very well! You need to kill people; not that you like killing, okay maybe you do a little, but you aren't just going out and killing some ass that cut you off in traffic. You are actually going after bad people; really bad people. You need to blow shit up; because most problems can be solved with the proper use of C4. You need to be behind the wheels of 5 tons of hard core steal and titanium, barreling balls to the wall right into the center of hostile territory and popping out the top like a damn stripper out of a birthday cake; unleashing your wrath at anyone and anything in your path.

Pack up your MRE's and lucky charms. Ready yourself and climb aboard. You are who they call when they need a job done but want it off the books. The ones when they think they have no other options left. Sure you are older, your joints hurt, you're checking the status of your 401k and AARP keeps sending you mail but damn it, you still function! You might be expendable in their books but you ain't going down without a fight because when the shit hits the fan the most dangerous person out in the battlefield is the one with nothing left to loose. That my friend, is you.

[*][hider=About Your GM] [hr][h1][center][b][i][color=ed1c24]What To Expect From Your GM[/color][/i][/b][/center][/h1][hr] Greetings and salutations, I figured it was prudent to let you know a little about your GM and what you can expect. I have been at this RP business a long time, decades. So I have a pretty well worked out way of how I run things and what I expect in an RP. I am a bit picky but that only comes from years of dealing with many different things when it comes to RP. First, you should know that I am serious about Rp even though it is a hobby. I don't put up with B.S., trolls, flakers, and so forth. I will kick someone from an Rp if need be but it is a rare thing. (Twice now in all my time as a Gm.) Secondly, I do expect the rules I put forth to be followed - all of them. I expect a certain level, a high level, of respect and courtesy to be shown to myself and to your other Rpers at all times. If you wonder what that is, read my Guide To Rp Etiquette - which you should have by now since it is part of my rules. Thirdly, my biggest pet peeve has always been and will always be those that do not follow posting rules set forth in RP. To not to do so is to be disrespectful to me and your fellow Rpers. I enforce posting rules more strictly than any other rules. To break those is a great sin and you shall be punished. Next, while all of these rules may seem a bit much and I may come off as a hardass, I am actually a very laid back person and am willing to work with Rpers on most anything. As long as the lines of communication remain open and honest, I will bend over backwards for my Rpers when I Gm. I do check posting habits and log ins. When you join an Rp of mine I add you to my friends list. This will show me the last time you logged in, even if you are set to hidden. So if you lie about logging in or being gone, I will know. I am a firm believer of if you have time to spam and lurk you have time to post. It is all about managing your time wisely. Though most here on the forum are younger, I treat all Rpers as adults; with that comes personal responsibility. If you join you will be held to the same standards I hold my self to. I will refuse to let people join an Rp of mine that have given me issues in the past. If you are new to Rp or still learning, I am more than happy to help you to become a better Rper. That includes things on teaching how to prep posts before it is your turn to post, how to do colabs, how to create and stick to your characters, how to improve posts, how to find inspiration, how to get a post done when it needs to even if you have no inspiration and so forth. I like to get to know my rpers. What do you do, what your schedules are like, who you are. It helps me better understand my Rpers and how to better help them along the way and/or make their Rping experience more enjoyable. Now that you know this, please make sure to use it as part of your consideration for joining the Rp. I know what I have said will lead many to not join but I assure you those that do will be taken on a wild ride of twists, turns, unexpected events, laughs until your cheeks hurt and many feels!
