@ChronoBovino

Thank you!

I consider myself more of a romanticist in that I prefer character development in history and personality over abilities. It should be the former which defines the latter, not the other way around.

Not that I'm one to talk seeing as how my dude is more military than the exmilitary and more medic than EMT Basic.

[Sophrus]

@Descartes
I don't know if you where referring to my character (which still requires editing) but I actually based the character off of myself. Where I do have EMT basic certification. Or, did several years ago.

And I think ability and fields of study/interest grant great insight to who the character is. For example: someone who studies EMT medicine is probably someone who desires to help people and has a cool head in the face of stress.

Or: someone who still has the desire to help, but is seeking the rush and thrill of holding a persons life in their hands and keeping them just on this side of death.

But that is my opinion.

[Descartes]

I wasn't trying to single you out or anything. My little tirade was more in response to the idea of "realism".

[ChronoBovino]

sorry to everyone who is trying to join but....

WE ARE FULL!!!

sorry for everyone who came late but...

[Sophrus]

@Descartes

Oh, it wasn't like that. I didn't feel singled out. And I get the realism thing, that's mostly why I based the character on myself (with some creative leeway). So that my character would feel.. well, real. Which happened to include a shotgun and EMT training, and a simple survival pack.

@QT

No you should be good to post.

[wolverbells]

@Sophrus @Descartes I made my character as simple as possible. Boring kind of. I tried to keep realism with her, I hope I did well enough.

Lieutenant Jeremy Thomas 'JT'

Twenty Seven Years of Age - American

Weapon: Fire Axe and Pistol Five-Seven

Father: Peter Thomas (Deceased)
Mother: Tara Thomas
Pet Dog: Silas

Personality: Being a firefighter, JT was initially taught to let go of fear. The fear of heights, the fear of fire, the fear of loss. Fear was no longer necessary in his field, so had to be let it go as though it were disposable. Of course, being afraid was part of human nature, so despite being forced into being absent fear - JT was not always courageous. But he tries to be anyhow and attempts to lead others in that direction. He sees himself as a natural leader, as was his father. JT also has a sort of temper when it comes to taking orders. He climbed the ranks because he hated being a bottom feeder and wanted to be the top dog of the firehouse - and it took effort. He didn't get there by playing around and not doing his work, the guy sweat, bled, and fought for his position. It was the kind of guy he was - not letting anyone take anything away from him.

History: Born in Atlanta, Georgia and raised in decent wealth, Jeremy Thomas known as 'JT' was well off after graduating college. With a bachelors in marketing, JT's initial plan was to follow some kind of advertising career. Of course, major events lead to drastic change. At the age of 22 - right after obtaining his certificate - JT's father died in a building fire blocks away from his home. Peter Thomas was Firehouse 27's Fire Chief. JT and his family were informed that in attempt to save a fellow colleague, Peter ran into the burning building minutes before it collapsed on top of him. After the funeral - which was full of neighbors, friends, and even strangers who came to pay their dues - JT decided that he also had to honor the memory of his father. He felt as though he was doing nothing with his life that was classified successful. Therefore, the decision to follow in his father's footsteps sprouted.

Even his grandfather had been a firefighter, and his grandfather's father as well. The only reason JT had not originally followed in that direction was because he feared the thought of dying. He thought he had things to do and places to travel too - blinded by his needs. Eventually it took his father's death to make a man out of the boy. He enrolled about a week after the funeral, starting off as a candidate. He was forced to wash dishes, cook for the 'real' firefighters. He was in charge of keeping the truck spotless and ready to roll - full of supplies and necessities. He was working long hours and for little to no money. It was tough, but he managed.

Time skipping to about two years later, JT managed to get himself in the run to become Lieutenant. He surpassed his competition in the written tests and moved much quicker during the physical exams. Evidently, JT was the man for the job in everyone's eyes. The memory of his dad was what really sprouted his whole journey to join the firehouse, but it later became a part of himself. He found self worth in his job and purpose. He was in charge and overjoyed.

*Has a small black dove tattooed on the left side of his neck. Also, JT is engraved with the word "FAMILY" on his right forearm. Besides those two tattoos, he has some burned scars on his back, but that would be all

@Aqutanama yea your boy is cool accepted

[Aqutanama]

Just want to note that I beat my first video game at the age of 2. It was Super Mario Bros the first one for the NES. As improbable as it sounds, I am a gaming prodigy. Proven by the fact I beat a game at two years old. BTW I can still kick the crap out of that game... don't even use warps. Since that is what you all have a problem with I guess I will drop from the rp. Don't want people with small closed minds running a RP I was going to be in.

Well sorry but no not trying to sound rude but the problems:

Not sure if this was a joke or something but beat his first ds game at two impossibrew! And "Slightly" Autistic.... And a gamer who is good at shooting could be understandable but with a bow it would be incredibly hard and take a long time which he wouldn't have from moving and playing games, also it said You have a FEW bows

This is what you need to change besides that your cool dude

@ChronoBovino

I mean this is all stuff I have right now. I'm the gamer/rper/anime/P&P/whatever. Also "Slightly"? I'm Borderline Autistic. Actually a thing. its not called Slightly Autistic. Imagine being trapped in your body while in school. Teacher asks you a question you know the answer to. But no matter how hard you try you cannot speak. <---Childhood. Why I played games so much.
