[OOC] The Wild Hunt MC [1960's Werewolf Bikers]

[HeySeuss]

yea, it makes more sense for your character to be the Alpha. You are the one driving the train. I will rewrite my character's history a bit so that he doesn't become infected with the werewolf bug until February 1968 rather than November 1965.

@Gunther

Works out. Or I can move it back to Rusty being there in 1965.

[Gunther]

I rewrote the history to state Rusty bit Vic to become a werewolf in order to survive the siege of Firebase Cochise.

@Gunther

Sounds good. We can work with that.

[HeySeuss]

Incidentally, I had a random idea for a starting point in the RP. Mardi Gras, 1969. Any thoughts on that? Of course, it's just two characters for the moment, but...

Either that or we invent some sort of off the wall biker festival.

[seriousarmour]

I'll be getting a character up asap. Should be within the next 24-36 hours. Just had alot of work over the last few days.

@seriousarmour

Cool beans, and I can totally relate.

For the record, we'll probably start the characters out in Southern Cali, or at least that'll be their base of operations. But since they're a biker gang and are probably not the most together, it's safe to say that their means of income is not necessarily consistent nor are they out there doing work every day. Then again, mob guys aren't like that either.

[Gunther]

When I chose San Bernardino, CA as Vic's hometown, I wanted it to be somewhere along Route 66. Although Route 66 is no more today, it was still active in 1969; maybe heading into its death throws. I almost went with Barstow, CA or Kingman, AZ.

[seriousarmour]

Before all this gets going just know i will have to go on what you say and online maps for geography and the like. I am Australian and don't know a whole lot about it.

@HeySeuss
Lynette is now up for review. I hope the idea isn't too outlandish. I'll work on whatever needs to be worked on, just let me know. Thanks!

[seriousarmour]

@HeySeuss Ok CS is up. Let me know if there are any issues!

@seriousarmour

Can you use Google Maps? I live in Eastern US and have never been to the areas of California we will talk about. That is what I am going to use for navigation.

[seriousarmour]

@Gunther Yeah that is what i was planning on using. I am just not familiar with any of it, even when it comes to stores and what not. So if I say anything odd pull me up, same goes for US military stuff. I did some joint stuff with them but never really bothered to learn a lot about their command structure etc

@seriousarmour

Victor likes Johnny Boy and Lynette. Was Johnny Boy in A Troop, 1-8 CAV at Firebase Cochise in Western Quang Tri Province with Rusty and Vic?

If you have any questions about the US Army, please ask. I spent 21 years in uniform. A point about the medals though. The Army Commendation Medal is the second highest peacetime medal awarded to soldiers. In fact, I have three of them. They are awarded for Combat actions as well, but most chains of command lean toward the Bronze Star (BS) for minor heroism rather than the ARCOM. If someone does something really special, they may be put in for the Silver Star (SS). Above Silver Star is the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC) which is for really heroic stuff. Of course, the highest award is the Medal of Honor (MOH). Based on what you described about Johnny Boy, I would upgrade your awards to one Silver Star with V and three Bronze Stars, one with a V.

[seriousarmour]

@Gunther 21 years. Hell of a career I did five in uniform myself. Thanks. I'll go in and edit the medals part. I was not sure what constitutes earning each of the medals I knew the general hierarchy and that they are awarded for valor, but that is it. However i was planning on being in a different unit than Rusty and Vic, and just having them all meet as veterans in the club. Maybe share some similar stories. Might even have met a couple of times, wasn't planning on having any major combat ties between them though.

[HeySeuss]

Well, might make sense to have a number of veterans that survived Cochise in one place, just saying, since that's how the pack got started.

[HeySeuss]

This might take a couple extra days to get going. I am having some medical stuff go on and part of that is due to actual fatigue. I want to get this going, I am just a little less certain of the timeline. On the upside, maybe today's doctor's visit will help.

@HeySeuss

good luck, with the visit, HS. I hope everything goes alright. I am in no hurry. Although Friday, Saturday and Sunday are best for me in RPs. I get pretty busy during the week and the wife hates it when I'm sitting on the computer in the evening after the kids go to bed.

[Briza]

I shall partake of this game and perhaps be a female for once in my life (so, patience)! Of course, my ability to post is quite slow (as I have already told @HeySeuss), which means even more patience.

[HeySeuss]

Female members are good to go. I'm bending the history a bit to accommodate that, but also, werewolves throw the gender roles up in the air anyway.

[seriousarmour]

I take it we are not going to bend the rules of other MC's in the same way though? We are going to be an outlier in that sense?
