##Instructions: - Using the provided [Template](https://titanpad.com/734e6gFGCj), please post a character sheet here. - Please only post sheets in here -- all other posts go to our OOC thread. - Please check the information below regarding equipment and character types. ##Character Guide: - Centurion gives preference to veteran military, but tends to favor people who served in elite units; for the pay they are offering, every paratrooper, light infantry and special operations unit in the world is aware that not only is Centurion hiring, they are paying quadruple the going rate. That's got a line out the door. It also lets Centurion run brutal assessment exercises and lots of intensive psychiatric screening to determine if it really wants a candidate or can do with out. Some law enforcement types may be considered, at least from the tougher and more militarized divisions of police. - Centurion recruits and trains some specialists for technical support, so it is entirely possible that a character could join Centurion if they were in good physical shape and could hack the training that is run by the first category – veterans from special operations units. - Hiring, training and so forth is conducted in French Guyana – a base leased from the French and right next to, incidentally, a space launch facility. No one realizes going in that they signed up for an interstellar war – French Guyana just seems like a particularly fetid part of the Amazon Jungle, and a good way to sort out the wannabes from the real thing. The characters spend about three months there supplementing their training and being evaluated if already trained. Odds are, they'll take advantage of a gathering of some of the world's finest, and actually learn new skills down there, but probably also teach and train together if sufficiently skilled. Everyone has to train together in order to be able to work together in a fight, no matter what the prior experience, but some people are also going through a course of basic training equivalent to that of elite organizations worldwide, and others are going through the equivalent of a special operations selection course. - Until we have at least several riflemen characters, we're keeping the sniper thing down to a dull roar – only one character gets to carry a DMR. - Centurion provides an equipment stipend that allows characters to pick their load bearing equipment and other gear of that nature, but it does not cover weaponry. So a character has a lot of choice about what boots they take with them (into space, but they don't know that) and what sort of plate carrier and ammo rig they're going to wear out there, but they don't get to just pick their guns. Canteens, rope, knives, multitools and so forth all are covered with the stipend, which is pretty generous. - Uniforms are produced quickly in camouflage optimized for their operating conditions and come in a variety of styles for the preference of the user; Centurion doesn't mind letting its people choose what sort of shirts they want to wear and doesn't care about the color of the undershirt. Flight suits, US-style 'combat' shirts, and traditional military jackets are all in use, as are various types of kneepads and gloves. The helmet system issued is modular, and one can remove the ear and neck protection for weight as well as to add communications equipment and can mount a variety of optics gears. - Just because the characters are military doesn't mean you shouldn't consider what their hobbies and interests are. You never know what might be useful in dealing with aliens. - Let's try not to all be Americans, either. Thanks. - By the same token, the company is issuing certain types of equipment, so no, “Well, my country has <insert here> and it's better so we should use that” or “I want to carry my country's rifle into battle, it's a national e-peen thing.” ##Squad Roles - Squad Leader - Rifleman (4) - Designated Marksman - Automatic Rifleman (2) - Grenadier ##Equipment Guide **The following are the Centurion-issued weapons systems;** - Issue Rifle: HK416 – A versatile and effective system based on the M4A1 that is in common use with all sorts of special operations units worldwide and with a good reputation for reliability, the 416 was chosen as a base platform for the initial Grathik modification of human weaponry to quickly get trained human troops into the field with familiar weaponry that would, nonetheless, let them be able to put up a fight. Most soldiers from most militaries and the PMC world are familiar with it – those who haven't handled one before will have plenty of comrades that can show them how it all works. The Grathik upgrades are subtle – stronger materials, better reliability and different ammunition. Each Centurion operator gets their choice of accessories with Grathik-built SOPMOD kits. The system is modular and the Grathik are happy to provide differing barrel lengths and other options in line with the H&K offerings on Earth. It fires a 5.56x45mm round, modified by the Grathik to be viable on a more advanced battlefield than earth. - Designated Marksman Rifle: HK417A2 – Semi-automatic, accurate and reliable, the HK417 is the designated marksman rifle that the Grathik chose to provide, upon consulting human experts in the field. It fires a 7.62x51mm round, modified by the Grathik to be viable on a more advanced battlefield than earth. - Squad Automatic Weapon: IMI Negev – The Israeli Military Industries Negev, a light machinegun that has a smaller feed tray than the FN Minimi, aka the M249 SAW, a better tolerance for dust, a semi-auto function and a one-handed barrel change process, has been produced by the Grathik for its troops. As with all Grathik supplied weaponry, it is produced using their own materials, and runs Grathik-made ammunition, which is still 5.56x45mm. - Shotgun: Saiga-12 and Kel-Tec KSG – Surprisingly, the Grathik chose about the only Russian weapon on the list, the Saiga-12, over shotguns used by the western militaries for the simple reason that even some Western law enforcement departments were going for the Saiga. It is a somewhat bulky system, but it is utterly reliable with its Kalashnikov action and feeds from detachable magazines. On the other hand, figuring that troops might want something compact and still a shotgun for various breaching actions and close combat, they also produced the Keltec KSG, a compact pump action weapon. - Sidearm: M1911A1 and Sig Sauer P226 – The problem the Grathik encountered when deciding on sidearms was that the Americans and the Europeans had a huge dispute over which handgun system reigned supreme; the Europeans preferred lighter stuff chambered in 9mm and the Americans used the M9, mostly due to political considerations resulting from NATO standardization, but didn't like it. Further research showed that Americans, given the excuse, went quickly back to the gun the Beretta M9 replaced, the M1911A1 when in actual combat in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their 1911A1's are modified extensively in line with offerings from Kimber and Springfield Arms. Meanwhile, for shooters that do prefer to do so, there is the Sig Sauer P226 available for general issue in a variety of options as well. - Anti-Armor/Rocket Launcher (Disposable): M72A7 Light Anti-Tank Weapon – Considered obsolete in 2001, the LAW found a new lease on life during operations in Iraq and Afghanistan because it was light – that meant that two could be carried for the weight of a single Swedish-made AT-4 rocket, which had been angled as the successor to the LAW. US authorities scrambled to have more made during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. It's something that just about every rifleman will carry at least one of, to give them bunker-busting and vehicle-destroying firepower in a pinch without overloading the kit. The Grathik produced version uses an explosive with far more penetrative power, designed to deal with equivalent threats in interstellar warfare. - Grenade Launcher: M32/Mk14 mod 0 Grenade Launcher – A multi-shot grenade launcher in use with the South African National Defense Forces and the United States Marine Corps, this weapon supplements the underbarrel grenade launchers that many of Centurion's operators opt to employ on their weapons, adding a dedicated, rapid fire grenade launching capability to the unit. The Grathik version is typical in the use of different materials, but the standout round is an Electromagnetic Pulse grenade for the disruption of enemy communications systems and targeting, which is also avaible as a thrown hand grenade as well. **The following are in use by Centurion, but are not standard issue:** - Sniper Rifle: Sako TRG M10 – The loser of a US procurement competition, it is a Finnish-designed rifle that probably should have won the competition, except Remington had more lobbyists. This weapon is not generally deployed except by sniper teams, but is available for special situations. It fires a highly modified. 338 Lapua round, which is the current champion of long range rifle rounds. - Anti-Materiel Rifle: Barret M107A1 – The Light Fifty, which the Grathik have strengthened considerably. It still fires the .50 caliber round, however. This weapon is not general issue but is available for special purposes. - Anti-Armor/Rocket Launcher: M3 Multi-role Anti-armor Anti-tank Weapon System (MAAWS) – An 84mm rocket launcher of Swedish design in use with a number of special operations units worldwide. The Carl Gustav, as it is known, is a respected and proven weapon system – the most notable difference between the version the Grathik produced for their human mercenaries and the terrestrial version is that the anti-armor warheads penetrate much more armor and the HE warheads are considerably more effective. Owing to the system's bulkiness, it is not always taken along, especially if the threat is within the capabilities of a LAW. - The M2 Browning sees use, of course, as does a lot of other heavier equipment. Centurion has ample fire support -- I'm just not listing it all. - so do a variety of vehicles, including a Grathik modified Puma IFV, originally German, with an AI system and other efficiency measures that ups the capacity of one vehicle to eight passengers. ##Character Sheet([Template Here](https://titanpad.com/734e6gFGCj)) **Name:** **Age:** **Gender:** **Ethnicity/Nationality:** **Former Unit:** (include rank, if applicable) **Role:** (Rifleman, Squad leader, etc.) **Physical Description:** It's probably best to actually describe the character if you are going to rely on a picture, or you can do without the picture if you like, but definitely describe. **Skillset:** Talents one has either naturally or through education or training of some sort. **History:** Explain how your character got there -- no 'the story will come out in RP' lines, please -- I want a feel for where your character is coming from.

**Name:** Gavriel Benayoun **Age:** 28 **Gender:** Male **Ethnicity/Nationality:** Israeli (Polish Ashkenazi/Lebanese Mizrahi) **Former Unit:** Shamal Rishon (Staff Sergeant/NATO OR-6) in the IDF, part of Shayetet-13 (Flotilla 13), the Israeli naval special operations unit in both the Raids and Underwater battalions Prior Service units: - Shayetet-13 Selection - Battalion 932, Nahal Brigade, Rifleman 04 grade - Battalion 933 (Tironut/Basic Training), Nahal Brigade, Rifleman 03 Grade **Role:** Rifleman (cross-trained as a designated marksman) **Physical Description:** Average height, with strong shoulders and upper body. He has olive skin and features that would let him pass for Arab easily; deep-set dark eyes, dark hair kept fairly short, but not American/European military high and tight (Israelis aren't known for it) and no tattoos, though he keeps a fairly scruffy stubble of a beard. Off work, he prefers a pair of fairly skinny jeans, an untucked v-neck long-sleeved shirt or button-down shirt and a pair of Oakleys. His shoes tend to be leather jobs that he can wear with bare feet. **Skillset:** - Operator with Shayetet-13, the Israeli general staff unit tasked with naval special operations missions. - Advanced Course in SCUBA operations, including open and closed circuit systems. - Underwater Demolition training - CQB/Counterterror - Small Boat Handling - Parachute school - Land Navigation - Small Unit Tactics - Sea-to-Land incursions - Reconnaissance (particularly hydrographic survey) - Cross training: Marine Scout-Sniper School, Marine Corps Base Quantico - Krav Maga, expert - Score 100 on the Bar Or, the IDF military fitness test - Familiarity with IDF, East Bloc and NATO standard weaponry, particularly the M4 platform, the Kalashnikov, and IDF issue weaponry. Centurion used him as an instructor on the Negev during the familiarization in Guyana. - Speaks Arabic, English, Hebrew, smattering of French picked up in Guyana. **History:** Born on Gadot, a Kibbutz in the Hula valley on the Lebanese border to Asher, a Lebanese Jew and Ruth, from kibbutz Lohamei HaGeta'ot and whose father, Mordechai, is a survivor of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and a veteran of the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Her mother is of French Jewish ancestry and fought alongside her father in the 1948 war. Gavriel was raised in a communal environment toward the end of the Kibbutz movement, as his father worked as a mechanic on the commercial farming equipment while his mother, Ruth, who was educated in computer sciences, became part of the kibbutz-sponsored computer company, which managed to be successful. He was raised in comfortable circumstances as 'differential wages' were instituted. At age 17 in 2003, he joined the IDF as part of the Nahal brigade, an elite infantry unit composed of kibbutzniks and Mahal (foreign) volunteers that saw a lot of service in Lebanon until the pullout in 2000. He would have joined whichever of the best units held selection first, and that happened to be Shayetet-13, the naval special warfare unit of of the Israeli Defense Forces. With Shayetet-13, he served in the 2006 Lebanon War, and was part of a number of coastal reconnaissance operations operations into Syria on behalf of the IDF. During this time, circa 2007, he married one Naomi Yadin, had two daughters, Adara and Rivka, and then found himself divorced by the end of 2012. He spent two years out of the IDF (resigning active duty, but continuing on as a reservist in a failed attempt to keep his marriage going) working as a networking and IT specialist in Tel Aviv when he heard about Centurion's offer. **Psychological Profile:** Gavriel's magnetic north was disrupted by his divorce from his wife (and her rapid remarriage, with his kids). At first, he was somewhat okay with it, but then as the reality set in, it started to rankle on him. Centurion offered a way out of the spiral of his life and a change from things – how big a change, he didn't realize. Gavriel is not naturally a talkative person, and he is not always patient with people who do not keep up. Given the chance to argue, he will, with much passion, but not much grudge in most casual conversation; playing the Devil's advocate comes naturally to him. Given a competent leader, he is a disciplined and effective soldier, but he is opinionated and informal in the Israeli manner; it’s said that if you’re serving in a company in the IDF, you will be calling the Captain by first name within a month. That’s not how the rest of the world does it, but the Israelis get along just fine with their more egalitarian outlook. Of course, Israeli officers come from the ranks, not an academy. **Equipment: ** - Head/Face: Ops-core ballistic helmet, high cut, with at least one headphone attached, NVG's attached and dust/sand goggles attached just in case. There are two mounting points for his flashlight, if he cares to attach it thus and for a camera, just in case. He doesn't do baclavas, but he does wear Israeli-style camouflaged netting around his neck to help keep things from chafing, which can be used to cover up his face and head in the sun if necessary. He also has his oakleys. - Body: Combat shirt and fatigue pants, as well as a Grathik-manufactured armored vest that is being issued to all the human troops; it resembles Dragonskin but it's made from different materials. His vest has pouches attached for ten 5.56mm magazines, a hydration system, weapon cleaning kit and various other miscellaneous equipment including a dive knife and multi-tool, maps, pens and so forth. A belt with a buttpack containing a first aid kit (with not one, but two tourniquet kits), survival gear, a sheathed Dustar Knives combat knife, an Israeli model, as well as a folding knife of the same make and a very bright flashlight – the kind that has protrusions on the head to allow for glass-breaking. He also has a pair of bolt cutters and a good digital camera. Wrist-mounted compass and dive watch – expensive, solar powered and pretty damned nice. It's already willed off to Park if he is KIA. Mechanix gloves, vented. - Blackhawk Warrior assault boots, low-cut, non slip soles. Old school canteen pouch to hold expended magazines. - Pack: Extra food, clothing, empty magazines, poncho, liner, etc, etc. Much what Park has, but Gav also has a demo kit. Duct tape, electrical tape. - Primary weapon: HK416, 14.5” barrel, Eotech Magnifier and holo (or Grathik knockoffs), Israeli sling with the plastic clips, attached to paracord wrapped around a polymer (for silence) sling loop and the rear stock. AN/PEQ-2, forward grip-pod, KAC MBUIS and flip front sight, cowitnessing. 300 rounds of ammunition. Round fifteen and the last four rounds of every magazine are tracers to let him know that he's running low and needs to be ready to reload. - Sidearm: M1911A1, with ambidextrous safety, synthetic grips, expanded ejection port and tritium dot night sights. The holster is rigged on the waist, crossdraw position, grip canted. Four magazines, .45ACP - Grenades; Mostly frags, two smokes, one WP. Pouches on the vest. - Optional: Wetsuit, dry suit, fins and SCUBA gear. If he thinks he's going to get wet, he'll put on a drysuit under the uniform. He also may supplement his web gear with the sort of rapid-inflation flotation device designed for naval special operators to wear under the vest.

**Name:**Samart Banchamek “Smarty” **Age:**29 **Gender:**Male **Ethnicity/Nationality:**Thai, believed to have other Asiatic roots, born and raised in Thailand **Former Unit:** 4th Army of the RTA -5th Infantry Division, Mechanized Infantry Brigade 2 Years -15th Infantry Division, Development and Reconstruction 1 Year -UN Peacekeeping Force 1 Year 31st Infantry Regiment, King’s Guard RDF 3 Years Dyncorp PMC 1 Year **Role:**Automatic Rifleman **Physical Description:**Samart stands at 5’10”, An interestingly much taller height than that of the national average which may speak to him being perhaps not 100% Thai. He is well-toned and in peak physical tradition as a result of his training and fierce discipline towards personal improvement. His hair, black, formally shaved bald has since grown out to a shortly cropped mohawk. He is more often than not cleanly shaven and prefers to keep it that way though when left unchecked, he gains a surprisingly cool handlebar and chinpuff. He has a scar about 1 1/2 inches long and 1 ½ centimeters wide beginning above his left eyebrow and ending right above the eye and has a good chunk missing from the top of his right ear. **Skillset:** -Muay Thai Expert, 20 Years Started at age 6 -Muay Boran Expert -Krabi-krabong Expert -Hand-to-Hand proficient -Fluent in Thai, English, Arabic, and a variety of other languages. -Licensed to drive APCs and can conduct maintenance on almost all types of vehicle -Well trained in Anti-Insurgent and Anti-Guerilla tactics -Also trained in Guerilla tactics -Vehicle Maintenance, A good mechanic -Weapon Maintenance -Proficiency with LMGs, has experience with the Type 56, Negev, and a variety of other types. -Additional proficiency in HMG’s, has handled Brownings and Type 54s -Freerunning -Basic First Aid **History:** Born in a small poor hill village some distance from Bangkok, Samart grew up without much and made do with little, he his parents and 4 siblings all lived in their 2 room house in close quarters. As the youngest, there wasn’t much for Samart to do around the house except play around and get into trouble. Eventually, he fell under the wing of an old man, a former practitioner of Muay Thai who taught to whoever paid him enough. Captivated by the sport, Samart begged his parents to allow him to learn the art. At the age of 6 he began practicing Muay Thai and rigorously trained himself for quite some time. Eventually, he obtained a job working in a garage with mechanics, learning the trade and so forth as to pay the fees for practicing. He began competing in Muay Thai and learning more about the Martial Art up until the time he attended college, the first of his family to be able to go. Despite his desire to stay home and pursue a career as a fighter in Muay Thai, he was pressured into going. In college he studied languages and foreign cultures and obtained a degree in Modern Language. Though successful he did not feel like getting a normal, well-paying office job as his parents wanted of him he instead decided on military service. All Males over 21 are placed into the random draft anyways in Thailand but Samart volunteered to join instead. He was moved down to the south with the 4th Army and was placed into the conflict of the South Thailand Insurgency. He found that the military life suited him and he stuck with it after facing reality and seeing that it would be too risky to pursue a profession in Muay Thai as there weren’t sure enough pay benefits, despite it being his dream. He stayed in a Mechanized Infantry Brigade as an APV driver his first year and then a Designated Automatic Rifleman for a fireteam his second year. He was then transferred to the Development Division in charge of aiding people in Southern Thailand. After some time he was granted access into the 31st Division, or the King’s Guard as well as served at the Thai embassy in Kabul,Afghanistan. In search of a more lucrative paygrade, Samart became a soldier of fortune and joined a PMC, Dyncorp . Since then he has been interested by Centurion and decided on joining. **Psychological Profile:** The mentality of Samart stems from his poor upbringing and impoverished roots. His desire for what he did not have in his childhood drives him for the payment of money. A greed that pushed him to give up on his dream and a greed that saw him give up his duties. The same avarice will surely come back around to him in the distant future. Innately, he knows the consequences of his journey for money yet chooses to follow the path of personal gain. Besides his motives, Samart is generally respectful and polite at all times, perhaps some form of unconscious apology for his own less than righteous goals. He is well disciplined in his own personal fitness as well as tasks, being not easily distracted and reliable to ask. He understands the importance of teamwork in a military unit and will not compromise that for any minor reason, he seeks the trust of his comrades and hopes that they can put their trust in him. (As to the topic of Extraterrestrial culture, customs, and language, Samart will be interested.) **Equipment: ** Body- - Sleeveless Combat Shirt, Black. - Dragonskin armored vest with pouches for weapon maintenance and other items of importance (compass, multitool, portable radio) Has sheathes for 2 KA-BAR straight-edge knives each located on both shoulders.

**Name:** Marlena Abdelkadaar **Age:** 26 **Gender:** F **Ethnicity:** Algerian **Former Unit:** Algerian Special Intervention Group (GIS) **Role:** Rifleman (cross-trained: Medic) **Physical Description:** Short and sturdy build for a light frame. Dark long hair bound at the back and tucked, olive skin and fair features with hints of fatigue. Often wears a face-cover of some sort, citing either modesty or as a measure to keep the debris out of her eyes depending on who is doing the asking. **Skillset:** Precision-Driving (off-road and in congested streets) Interrogation Small-unit raids Radar-Survaillence Hand to Hand Parachuting/rigging Mountaineering **History:** Joined the Algerian National Police in June of '08 and had the luck to quickly find herself more often behind the wheel of an armored personnel carrier than a desk. And managed to distinguish herself when after her gunner was struck down by a sniper's bullet at the start of a firefight, she chose to man the vehicle's gun to cover her squad's evacuation atop another APC rather than seek shelter herself even as her own APC began to burn from several rocket-attacks. This put her on-track to their newly-formed counter-terrorist unit. Helped train Mali soldiers in counter-insurgency operations sometime in early 2012 and later took part on a follow-up raid of the 2013 Amenas hostage rescue attempt which ended poorly. Due to the massive political backlash of so many of the hostages dying and insinuations that the GIS was actively executing any survivors, Marlena was dropped from the program. **Equipment:** Head/Face: Pressed-fiberglass copy of SPECTRA-helmet, shmagh Body/attire: Grey-green Densin-smock. *Initial Load Bearing Equipment:* Ex-Soviet 'Lifchik' or 'chest-rig' to hold a spare magazines for her Saiga and four spare mags for the HK-416.
