Foreign Legion - First Contact Through Bad Faith Contracting [Military Sci-Fi]

The Thais have got the best of the U.S. And Israeli equipment, gives Samart some badass weapon experience ;)

On a side note though, our characters don't know they are going to space, but is the knowledge of the existence of extraterrestrials common, or are our characters really making history?

Foreign Legion - First Contact Through Bad Faith Contracting [Military Sci-Fi]

Thanks, I wanted a character from a country people would least expect an elite mercenary and I found that Thailand would make a good backstory for my character. A country not many pay attention to but still has an active modern army and conflicts that can provide past experience. I'll be sure to change the PMC and add a bit to his bio.

Hiya, here’s my CS, I don’t think my military knowledge is up to the levels of other people in this RP but it doesn’t hurt to try. I personally have an interest in a military career so maybe this will be some kind of weird learning experience. ¯\(°_o)/¯

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. For half a year, Samart also served in the Royal Thai Embassy in Kabul, wherein he gained extra counter-insurgency skills and learned Dari and Pashto.In search of a more lucrative paygrade, Samart became a soldier of fortune and joined Dyncorp, a PMC. 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.)

Is this still open to drop ins?

My cat

Dropped my cat off at the vet. Apparently she was fine, and the issue was that she just wasn't using her litterbox for some incomprehensible reason. She also peed all over the vet too apparently. After I brought her home, her stupid cat face just read the statement, "lol i made you waste money and got to pee on the guy who gave me shots".

Extra info: She's a Sealpoint Ragdoll, an indoor cat, and was outside all last night. The last one is probably the cause but I don't know how being outside overnight could cause something like this.

Give me cat advice

I need to find a new vet, because the one I go to is definitely mentally handicapped.

I was just wondering if Spam had any other fellow cat-owners who have seen this type of behavior before, it would help to see other people's viewpoints before I waste my time with Dr.Idiot.
