Thanks for all the CS submissions. If you haven't got a reply yet, never fear. I'm working my way through them all.
@AmongHeroes Hey man, I think the OR-5 rank is spelled Sergeant.


Lol, thanks.
@Nevix Got you a reply already. I'm working my way down the inbox (you're next @Blackbeard.
Ω Name: Anson Hogh

Ω Age: 32

Ω Gender: Male

Ω Rank: 75th C.A.G. Team Leader, Captain


Ω Appearance:
Anson is a tall and lithe man. His physique is one of an athlete built for stamina more than raw power. His eyes are of a dark green, though the color varies easily due to the ocular enhancements in his irises. The natural color of his hair is a dark chocolate, and it’s generally kept at a medium length in varying states of disarray.

Across his body, save for his face, a matrix of silvery strands crisscrosses along the borders of musculature. This matrix was used to implant the bone reinforcement, and synthetic muscle tissue. Where bare skin is still visible, it is smooth and rather pale.

His dress is atypical for military life—the advantage of being an operator in the Special Forces. Most often Anson dresses in well broken-in tactical pants, jeans, or the occasional set of board shorts. His shirts are an array of old rock tees, souvenirs from dive bars, or a basic gray hoodie with bullets tied into the drawstrings.


Ω History/Background:
Anson was born as a prostitute’s bastard on Yesthaven, the capital city of Ganymede. Having an illegitimate child was such a rarity in the pleasure profession, thanks to the extreme ease and access to contraceptive technologies, that Anson was a true space oddity (R.I.P. David Bowie). His saving grace was the potent combination of his mother’s love, and her dauntless gift of hope.

Growing up living above the brothel, Anson’s early education was at the behest of the Madame that ran it. Being the keen businesswoman that the Madame was, she soon recognized that Anson had the potential to achieve great things if given the opportunity. Due to his class, such opportunities came few and far between. Military service was the only real option for a life outside the net of gangs and vice, and so both Anson’s mother, and the Madame, encouraged him to pursue it.

The rest, as it’s said, is history.

Serving with skill and distinction as a space marine, Anson worked his way ever upward through his career. In short order he had joined the Marine Deep Space Command, the spec-ops branch of the Space Marine Corps, and served in specialized missions across the Orion Arm. With the expansion of CAG units, and the formation of the 7-5, Anson was commissioned to be the unit’s first team leader. He has been with the unit ever since, and has expressed to have truly found his calling in the service of the Emperor.


Ω Personality: Loyal, Trustworthy, Resolute, Adaptable, Laid-back

Ω Specialties:
“Did you back it up?”—Anson has an extensive array of biological enhancements and implants for the sole purpose of keeping him above ground. He can lose massive amounts of blood, some vital organs, and other extreme trauma without losing combat effectiveness (at least in the short term).

“But can it run Crysis?”—Due to Anson’s role as team leader, he has to be able to both keep track of, and run, the 7-5 under extreme conditions in the field. He has a number of applicable software implanted into his internal hardware.
It's up! I sent you a PM a while back Heroes, mind taking a look? it's about my potential character. I'll have to amend a few things seeing the new setup.


Yeah, I'll take a look. Sorry I missed it earlier.

Should we include an image of what our character's POCS might look like? Are those standard issue? Same thing with the YETI's.


You're more than welcome to include a picture of your armor. YETI's will be more "standard issue" though. Our characters will actually be changing environments a lot during the RP, so their loadouts will also change frequently.
Important Note!


I added a field for "Personality" on the character sheet. Just wanted to bring attention to that for those who have started on a CS.

Sincerely,
Management
Is it ok to play a character with a noble background?


Yes you can, but keep in mind that your character will be subject to taking orders from the unit officer--an individual of lower class. In social status your character will be higher in class, but in the unit that won't matter due to rank.

Also, your character can certainly be an aloof jerk due to their class, but don't expect to be able to boss other players around. Just thought I'd add that in.
Doing well enough. Busy week ahead, but there's always time for some writing.
