- Special cybernetic prosthetics and performance enhancement implants are available to experienced combat veterans applying for a position with the Alamo Scouts. Request for cybernetic prosthetics and performance enhancing implants can be made by Private Message to this thread's moderator (Gunther). Please include link to applicant's character sheet (CS), a description of how the limb was lost and how you would envision the prosthesis and/or implant to perform. The thread moderator will respond either, approving the prosthesis/implant as requested, approving the prosthesis/implant with specific changes or a denial of prosthesis/implant. If you receive a denial of prosthetic request, your character did not lose said limb and continues with character development accordingly. This is to limit the number of special soldiers in the team who employ special technologically advanced prosthetics or implants. It is not meant to harass or deny someone who is passionate about cybernetic enhancements but finds themselves left out by the moderator. ;)

There are various uniforms Alamo Scouts wears depending on their assignment to include civilian attire.

Personality Profile: Kichirō is a positive minded individual who takes his job seriously. He focuses on his work at hand and works hard to motivate others through positive words of encouragement rather than threats of discipline or punishments. On occasion, he has found the need to resort to threats, but prefers not to. He is confident in his abilities and in those he has worked with. Once he gets to know the people around him, he learns their traits and knows if they are trustworthy. Trust is something, former Lieutenant Takagi will offer to anyone, given the benefit of the doubt. Violate that trust, and he will hold that person in contempt. They will never regain the Lieutenant's trust; thought of as a low life.

Once he was healed, he attended sniper school, where he was awarded the Commandants Medal of Excellence. He was then promoted to Lance Corporal. In January 2046 the Battalion was then deployed to Columbia to continue the war on drugs. He received the Military Cross for saving the lives of a Special Forces team that had been ambushed by one of the cartels. He then received the Queens Gallantry Medal for breaking cover to recover a medic who had been shot by a sniper, LCpl Bolton was wounded by the sniper, but it was in the left shoulder and a minor wound, requiring just 10 stitches. He was promoted to Cpl upon return to the UK. He then attended Summer S.A.S. Selection in 2047. Having passed selection, and completing jump school, he became a member of Air Troop. Almost all of his records from the S.A.S. have been redacted. He was promoted to Sergeant in 2051. After which he was sent to X Squadron, which is an unofficial kill squad for the British Government.

Description: Age: 34, Height: 173cm, Weight: 88kg, Multiple tattoos on his arms and back but none on his chest. He has many battle scars from bullet nicks and one ugly knife scar on the right hand side of his chest, running from under the arm pit to just above his hip. His dress sense is very functional, cargo pants and t-shirts. Due to the high operationally tempo of his career, he never had the need for other clothing. He has grey blue eyes, hawk like stare, but with a friendly face, however when he gets angry, his scowl is normally enough to get people to step back or back down from him.

Personality Profile: James is very easy going, very calm under pressure, a lot of people think that he doesn’t care, but having been in the military all his life, he has learnt how to control his emotions and has learnt not to panic in any situation. It takes a lot for James to get angry, but when he does lose his temper, it’s best to let the storm pass, rather than try to stop it.

Military Skills: James is a weapons specialist and medic. However, having been in the S.A.S. he learnt multiple skills and is proficient at most of them. He can speak English, Afrikaans, Russian and Spanish.

Weapons:
Depending on what the mission calls for Sgt. Bolton has a varied taste in weapons.
Primary Weapons: SCAR-H with EGLM, with holographic Red Dot site, laser site and torch. Or a 7.62 FN MAG aka General Purpose Machine Gun aka Gympee. For a sniper role his weapon of choice is either M82A1 .50 Cal or .308 L115A1 Super Magnum.

Name:

Derrick 'Reaver' Garlen
Description: Age 37, 178 pounds and 5 foot 11 inches. Scar on his right jawline, and a crisscrossing scar along his abdomen. No tattoos. Caucasian, with a workers tan and 5'0clock shadow. Almost never seen without his combat gear on. Even wears his uniform trousers during his leisure time.
Personality Profile: Reaver's born for this kind of life. He took whatever he could to get away from his abusive parents and their poor lifestyle, already having been known as a fighter. He's often introverted but loyal to his comrades, but terrifying to his enemies (if they have a chance to realize who they're facing before they are taken down by the scouts). Reaver's idea of relaxing is standing guard, cleaning his weapons, and discussing the next mission.
