Hah, Krieg and the aliens. That ought to be funny. We'll have to devise a brain-boosting symbiote that allows the dog to talk.

Anything tagged military and sci-fi, I'm so in.

Before I start thinking about a character, do you need a specific role right now? I see there are lots of sheets already. I'm really up for anything, let me know.

We basically need two more auto-riflemen. Gunther will be able to sort out who handles FT-Lead roles based on whatever criteria he sees fit because this is a PMC.

I think a South African would be a good idea. South African mercs just got done kicking Boko Haram's ass in whatever Eeben Barlow's outfit is named this week.

Also, I just did a look over the roster, and we've got three US Marine Force Recon/MARSOC types.

I think it might be a fun idea to go ahead and figure out what other countries offer similar experience to the Marine Corps and maybe convert the characters over to these nations. I notice no Germans, South Africans, Cubans, Colombians, Brits (Besides Collins), Australians, PRC Chinese, Poles, Finns, Nepalese or Thai.

So if people want to voluntarily convert from Marine to something else, that's cool. Also, I can give a heads up on some of these nations and their capabilities. There are a number of good naval commando/marine infantry units to choose from in other nations, notably the British Special Boat Service who are both insane and awesome as hell.

@HeySeuss There's also the Russian Commando Frogmen, who are closer to Navy SEALs than Marines, but are still naval infantry-type units.

I'd be cool tossing my nationality around, but I might need some help with that, haha. I'm barely familiar with the USA Marines, let alone other countries

Could easily go South African and then PMC. That'd be an easy shift. Also, Foreign Legion to PMC. I can give you background on either, it's not a problem.

Name: Kristjana (Christina) Steinsðottir
Age: 34
Gender: Female
Ethnicity/Nationality: Iceland/UK Dual Citizenship
Former Unit: ICG (Icelandic Coast Guard), 3rd United Kingdom ‘’Iron’’ Division - 38th Infantry Brigade at Bulford camp in Wiltshire, 2nd Battalion - The Rifles HRH at Thiepval Barracks in Lisburn. Parachut Regiment (UKSF) 1st Battalion in St-Athan.
Role: Automatic Rifleman
Physical Description:
Most individuals who see Kristjana for the first time would quickly guess that she has Icelandic or Scandinavian blood running through her veins - and those people would be correct. Her pale blonde hair, bright blue eyes and stature are common physical characteristics in that part of the world. Her shoulders are broad and taut; her muscle mass lean and clearly outlined as if a sculptor had carefully pressed the lines into her skin.


Skillset:
  • Arctic/Desert Survival Specialist
  • Advanced C.P.R Training
  • Advanced Automatic Weapon and Ranged Shooting Training
  • Navigation Specialist
  • Advanced hand-to-hand Combat Training
  • Advanced Kinesiology Courses
  • Search and Rescue Specialist (parachuting, helicopter rescue)
  • Olympic Weightlifting and Track Veteran (can endure excessive pain and muscle fatigue; exceptional cardiovascular capacity)


History:
Kristjana had always been interested in the Military, or at least, inclined towards the military lifestyle. At a young age, she competed in any and every sport she could join. She took part of the Track team in middle school and then joined the Olympic Weight Lifting team a few years later. She fell in love with the hard work, the short nights, the pain and soreness, the restrictive diet, and most of all, the mental toughness needed to pull through it all.

Knowing Iceland didn’t have a military force on land, she joined the Icelandic Coast Guards as soon as her age permitted it, leaving her family and village behind; though she always kept in touch with them, and sometimes the promise of a visit during the holidays was the only thing that motivated her. With the ICG, Kristjana did everything from ice operations to search and rescue missions. Already a long term addict of the sought after adrenaline rush, time flew by and she reached the third rank of enlistment in her three years of service – which was not uncommon.

Having the dreaded feeling that she wasn’t progressing anymore, the young Coast Guard decided it was time for a new challenge. Kristjana set sail to the United Kingdom and established Manchester as her home. She knew enough English to get around, but found it difficult to assimilate the language fully. After working low paying jobs in markets and coffee shops just over a year, Kristjana was fluent enough to start coaching in a small time gym. She remained at the same gym for nearly three years when she finally decided to go off on her own. She mostly coached weightlifting athletes privately until she was able to get her UK citizenship.

The day she enlisted in the British Military was the day her life really started, or so she believed. Her determination and the skills she acquired in the ICG helped her climb the ranks quickly. She first served in the Reserves before earning a place in the 38th Infantry Brigade in the 3rd Division. After earning her Corporal rank, Kristjana joined The Rifles Brigade’s 2nd division for five years. However, her experience with ICG and her expertise regarding search and rescue lead her serve with the 1st Battalion of the Parachute Regiment in St-Athan.

Kristjana is still trying to convince her family to come to the UK, though it’s proven to be a difficult task. Yet She understands their reticence fully as she too misses her home.

Psychological Profile:
Krisjtana is family oriented which makes teamwork and loyalty extremely important to her. She approves of transparency amongst soldiers and does her best to be forward about everything she does. Her determination and never-give-up attitude is most likely her strongest characteristic, yet sometimes she believes she can save everyone no matter how dire the situation causing casualties to play negatively on her morale. She performs just as well under pressure than during training missions and can withstand a lot of mental hardships before even considering breaking.

Equipment:
  • IMI NEGVEG
  • SIG Sauer P226
  • UK BDU with a solid black undershirt
  • Black ACU boots
  • Black ACH combat helmet with NVG mount, top mounted flashlight, small microphone on the left and she carries a fast gunsight mandible and a sentry visor.
  • Black tactical leg drop holster
  • Black tactical gloves
  • Black tactical vest with three ammo pouches, combat knife and holster on left shoulder.
  • A pair of shooting sunglasses and regular shooting glasses (Yellow).

@Therealslayer Might make more sense to go Parachute Regiment or Royal Marines and potentially add a combat deployment there. Odds are, they'd want an Automatic Rifleman with experience handling the weapon in question, or maybe she found barriers to getting into the SAS/SBS and decided to jump for Centurion where the training and expertise were going. Up to you, looks good but the addition is just a thought, how she transitioned over.

@Asura is probably the last person standing, as he's getting that WIP done on an ex-Legion guy to fill that last automatic rifleman slot. I'm going to post that first post today (later in the day) and then we can tie up the loose ends as we move forward with that.

I will probably land us into the first operation they're carrying out.

I'm pumped. This RP had lots of good response. Of course, some people will drop off or resign or whatever (or maybe they won't) but we have a plan for that too -- casualties. And in the course of the storyline, we'll hit on transhumanism, caveat emptor and other fun plot and thematic elements. Eventually, we'll be leaving the sorta-Earth tech behind for more significantly upgraded equipment as the humans become used to it. With the tech comes questions and concerns.
