[OOC] X-MEN: Equilibrium (closed)

[mattmanganon]

@Ace of flames01 Well, my character also has a hell of a lot of city miles on him. Two of the most stressful jobs in the world are acting and soldiering.

[Ace of flames01]

@Chaotic Chao hmmmm I would say just arrive at the institute but then I remembered the tiger.... so I mean if you want, you could go deal with that...

*innocent face of innocence*

[Ace of flames01]

@mattmanganon I told you my standards. I expect you to comply if you want me to accept your cs or even consider accepting it.

[mattmanganon]

@Ace of flames01 Alrighty. I don't have any objections to changing it. I just didn't think it was a big deal.

I found a picture of a 25 year old soldier and stuck that in, instead. I just thought you would appreciate a face of perfection

[Ace of flames01]

@mattmanganon another big problem I have with this guy's history as per mention from another already accepted character. There is NO WAY that e could have done everything he did in the time from he graduated highschool to where he is now. Somethings will have to be removed and a lot will have to be changed. For a human, this guy is incredibly OP and at this rate I really don't want to accept this guy.

[Ace of flames01]

@Mr_pink pooooost you buuuuutt! XD so many people are waiting on you!

[SuddenSardines]

I'll be posted pretty soon. I'm working on stuff for a game I'm running.

[Ace of flames01]

@SuddenSardines woohoo! *suplexes you*

[unfallenangel]

To post or not to post, that is the question *holds up skull all Shakespeare like*

[Ace of flames01]

@unfallenangel do it! XD

[mattmanganon]

@Ace of flames01 Fine, could I say that he is at least in the Royal Marine Commando's? I know you can be there by age 19, because my friend started his training for the RMC's aged 19.

The British armed forces work a lot differently than the American. In the British armed forces, you can join the Territorial Army at 16 (With parental consent) and be fully trained by 18, to be fast-tracked into the army, then you can apply to go to almost any branch for specialist training. RMC's are one of them. The British Army's training system is a hell of a lot more rigourous, as well. American Marines take a 20 week training course, RMC's are 36 weeks. Anyone that has been accepted into the RMC's can apply to join the S.A.S. immediately, that is 32 weeks of training and is held once a year, so if you apply at the correct time, it is actually possible to get straight into the S.A.S. by 20... Not likely, because the course is hell incarnate and they can kick you out at anytime they like, without warning, should they deem you not ready for it. All I asked was for my character to be able to be S.A.S. by age 24

Should I add that he failed the S.A.S. application process a couple of times before actually being allowed to take the course?

[Ace of flames01]

@mattmanganon I think that would be better but when would he have been captured? There would have to have been sometime for him to recuperate and heal for at least one year, even then there would be emotional trauma that he would need to recover from which would have been another year at last if not longer

Alas poor Grace, I knew her HaFrankio. A girl of infinite jest and most excellent fancy.

@Ace of flames01

Hider

Yeah Imma pile on here. I don't like doing this in public but unless you came up with a bomb ass plot device using your character some things really need to be pulled back.

Pilot trained to fly high-speed Jet Fighters (Licensed to fly almost any military jet fighter) and has taken a beginners course in Personal Helicopter piloting (Is only licensed to fly civilian helicopters and with no more than 3 passengers).

The helicopter things doesn't bother me at all compared to the fighter pilot thing. So this dudes done five tours back to back in a war zone. A tour is normally between six months to four years, at a minimum he was in a war zone for two and half years, straight. Then he got into the SAS at 22, which is by my understanding pretty damn rare. I think most people that get in the SAS are around twenty-five. That's cool, I get it.

So then gets through the school in a year, which sounds odd to me I'd think it'd be at least on par with the Navy SEALs and/or Combat Controls at about two years but it's whatever, minor detail. Then, he gets deployed for a sixth time and this time he gets straight tutored for two months, seemingly nonstop. How the hell could he escape? Dudes been shot, stabbed, impaled and twenty other things more than likely.. A bigger question than the escape is, can he even taken dump? He got them adult diapers or something?

Even after all that, he goes straight into something else. Ain't anyone every tell him about that thing called a weekend? You sure homie ain't a damn Robocop? When did he recover? When did he do rehabilitation? He's been through some major shit for lack of a better, but he didn't need time to heal? I want whatever he's on.

What's his mental health like? Homie been in combat, killing fighting, and getting tortured for the last few years, now the governmental powers that be say 'Yeah dude that school with 18 to 24 year old? Yeah baby we need you there. We ain't worried about you getting that PTSD or flash backs and hurting them kids. While you're at it, go on and do some fighting with them.'

I can let all that go, thinking it was some crazy ass deal with Myphisto or some shit that let's hjm magically be only down one eye and all that jazz. Might be a really good plot device for later in.

So that lead me to the big question. When the hell did he have time to become a military fighter jet pilot? That's a 4 year degree, officer candidate school, and perfect health before you can even apply to the school, skipping all that it's like... Two and half years of training before you can be a pilot. Now aside from that fact, he's bit just a jet pilot, but he's crossed trained to most all of them. Yall seen the different cockpits of fighters? There is a shit ton going on and to my eyes, each one is different. I'm not up to speed on what's happening in the Royal Air Force, but either dude sold his soul to the devil or... I dunno I got nothing witty.

Nothing good comes in a hider from me.

@mattmanganon I think that would be better but when would he have been captured?

@Ace of flames01

Well, a lot of our characters have some deep emotional trauma. *Looks at Raylan* Some of them don't really recover.

[Ace of flames01]

@AcerRo this is true XD

[Mr_pink]

@Mr_pink pooooost you buuuuutt! XD so many people are waiting on you!

@Ace of flames01

Im tired rn but Ill get a post up tomorrow I promise!!!

[Ace of flames01]

@Mr_pink *shoots you with a hydro canon* YOU CANNOT HIDE.

[Ace of flames01]

I don't know about y'all but I'm going to go find a corner and... die. :)

[mattmanganon]

@AcerRo I have no objections to anything you said and will change it. I just thought it would be nice to have someone capable of flying the Blackbird... And as I said earlier, I kinda designed the character for age 38 and I had to change it.

For the whole "Yeah, let's send him to the place where he could hurt 18-24 year old kids" you do realize that the government see's it more like "Yeah, let's send him to that place filled to the brim with walking doomsday machines." I saw it along the lines of them wanting to send one of the few people that has proven an ability to handle mutants. I also wouldn't be opposed to the "Only down one eye due to deal with Myphisto" but Ace said he wanted to keep the non X-men stuff out so i'm not going to try my luck with that.

Plus, the British Military isn't as fucking insane as the American military. A tour is 6 months to a year, agreed beforehand. none of that "We can extend it if we feel like it, without the soldiers consent" shite, that some unlucky yanky was on the receiving end of, that would have spent 16 years in Iraq, was he not killed by being ordered to defuse an I.E.D. he wasn't trained to do, 12 weeks into his tour.

@Ace of flames01 I apologize and, as I said above, I'm gonna go tone it the fuck down.

There you go. A post for your fancy. *Bows*
