@Letter Bee How many characters can I have?

@The One

One is encouraged, two is permitted, and you can have three if you're an antagonist/villain, but you'll have to talk out your ideas with me if you're going to pick the third option.

[The One]

@Letter Bee Ok cool. I'll definitely make two at the very least. I'll also tell a few of my friends know about this Rp.

Character Sheet

Name: O'Ryan Cooper

Age: 24

Physical Description:


Important items: 9mm Pistol, AR-15 (Modification), Benelli M4 Tactical Semiautomatic Shotgun, iPhone, Wallet (with necessities), and low frequency sound gun

Short Bio: A former Lieutenant Colonel who served in the US military from the young age of 18 as soon as he got out of high school. Mainly to serve and do his family heritage proud for having a served in almost every single major war the US had been involved in. After three years in military hot zones O'Ryan eventually made his way to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel of a Battalion of 500 soldiers, but his time serving would be shortly cut after two years. In the middle of a hot combat zone, amongst enemy fire, O'Ryan was forced with his battalion to make a hardline defense in the gun fire. In his intense moments of command he was unaware of an enemy grenade that had gone off. At age 23 his career as a soldier ended. But, his strong defense and rallying moments of command was able to allow the US forces to rally reinforcements to win the battle.

Thankfully, the grenade was just far enough away from doing permanent damage. But, he was unfortunately honorably discharged from the army and rewarded for his service. Now he serves as the boss of large group of workers at a distribution center. His leadership skills whipping the workers into shape and having them work like a well oiled machine. But, he is still has moments of intense paranoia, due to the one moment he let his guard down and allowed it to end his military career. He is now the boyfriend of Gavin Prince.

Skills/Flaws:
Natural Leadership: Learned this skill spending his time in the military in conflicts all across the world. At his highest position he was a Lieutenant Colonel of the 3rd Battalion 25th Marines.

Combat Expert: Built for combat as well from his military background serving in the US military. Physically and mentally combat ready.

Magic Incompetent: Whilst O'Ryan can see the magic occurring in front of him, and he has potential. There is no real click for him, nothing seemingly works for him that is any sort magic related.

Paranoid: Particularly paranoid, but that is more a hold over from his time in the military in constant hot war zones. Even due to his injuries when he let his guard down for one moment.

Spell List: None, he's a filthy normie.

My character sheet. Hopefully it isn't too late to join you guys.

@Eklispe

Oh I did not notice that. I went exclusively for a character with a military background to explain why the way he is.

@LightningLynx89Question of a lot of interest...How did he reach the rank of Lieutenant Colonel with three to four years of service? That's quite a leap I'm not sure the Americans do?

[Eklispe]

Prob was an eagle scout or something XD

@LetMeDoStuff

Lieutenant Colonel in the US military is like the middle point of the hierarchy of command. And it's not that rare for people so young to become that rank at so long, I have a cousin who is a Lieutenant Colonel and he's only a year older than O'Ryan would be. And I know a close friend's father who was a Lieutenant Colonel during the Gulf War at the age of 22. So it really dependent on skill and leadership ability.

@LightningLynx89

I remain to say that the way the American Military handles Commissioned Officer ranks, or the equivalent, in the most odd ways that I am against, but if it is possible then I guess it is possible.

Well Lieutenant Colonels all vary in the amount of soldiers they command. Like they can command as little as 200 soldiers to 800 at most. The more experienced ones obviously command the larger groups. Plus even Lieutenant Colonels have multiple ranks, depending on how large the Battalion is. And the system works.

@LightningLynx89

It's not the amount they command that I'm against, it's how early on it is. If they enlist as an Officer I can see it being achieved more than what some consider a short time.

It's more about the experience to me, not just skill. I dunno. I'm not great at expressing viewpoints and all, but when it comes to Military Policies because I'm so interested in them. I'm too used to the British system is probably the result of this.

Like the CS regardless, certainly an interesting addition.

[Eklispe]

I guess you can say he's a good addition to our loadout. Get it. Get it. Get it.
