I'll have a CS tomorrow, and it'll be good. Probably. Maybe.

XCOM Enemy Unknown Season 1: The Coming Storm Interest Check

I always enjoyed XCOM. I'll definitely join.

"Archaeology in the 1920s was mostly drinking and blowing things up."

Name: Professor Gene Rusterford
Age: 48
Appearance: Medium height, and dumpy. Not exactly fat, but clearly has never worked a day in his life. Has a thick, bushy, graying beard, and round spectacles. His face a smooth and broad. His clothes are clearly expensive, the kind usually found on a university professor.
Experience: Professor Rusterford is well read in many indigenous cultures of South America. He has been on a variety of archaeological digs, and is capable of identifying almost any artifact that can be found. While he lacks physical experience in adventuring, his knowledge is top notch.

I am interested as well. I already have a character planned.

Red vs Blue: A Bright Beginning

I can only blame myself and everyone else involved.

Red vs Blue: A Bright Beginning

I wish it weren't, but it seems so.

Donovan nodded, and was about to respond to Sarah when the ship lurched upward, putting Donovan off balance for a moment. He steadied himself a moment before speaking, "A career soldier eh? Something tells me you and I share that trait with a majority of those present," he chuckled and continued on, "But it'll be good to have an experienced leader on the team. I'm glad to have you with us," Donovan smiled brightly one more time before moving on to inflict himself on some other recruit.

Donovan considered the question for a moment, and answered with his same enthusiastic tone, "Qualified? I mean, the officers thought so, ain't that enough?" He chuckled, but continued speaking, "Well, I'm good with explosives, and I can lay a trap like no one else, on this shuttle or off it. Grenades, plastic explosives, rocket launchers, hell, even some artillery. If it goes boom, I've mastered it,"

Realizing he had gone off on a bit of a tangent, Donovan took a deep breath before asking his own question, "So how about you, Ms. Sarah, how'd you find your way onto this shuttle? I hardly think it's just for your good looks," with the final comment, Donovan gave out a boisterous laugh.

Donovan Baldur stood confidently in the shuttle, a heavy looking duffel bag hanging from his shoulder. He scanned the room with a slight grin, looking for a friendly face to speak to. Most of them looked at random pieces of wall or floor, avoiding eye contact. He caught a glimpse of a black-haired woman tucked into the corner of the shuttle, eyeing the rest of the recruits like fresh meat for the slaughter. "Hope she's not as bad as she looks," Donovan thought as he moved his gaze onward. For a fraction of a second, his eyes caught those of another black haired woman, who had just entered the shuttle.

Having gained the excuse to start a conversation, he quickly made his way over to the woman, and greeted her with a wide grin. "Hello there! I'm Donovan, nice to meet you!" Donovan thrust his large hand out for the woman to shake.

Red vs Blue: A Bright Beginning

Name: Donovan Baldur

Codename: Illinois

Nickname: Noise

Age: 36

Rank: Freelancer (Former Sergeant First Class)

Specialty: Explosives, mid-range combat

Armor:

Armor

Armor Ability: Armor lock

Appearance: Donovan is a long time soldier and demolitions expert, and he shows it. His face and body are crisscrossed with a variety of scars. He has a broad, flat face, with a nose that looks like it's been broken more than once. His eyes are dark brown, and his hair is a closely shave black. Donovan is large, in both height and width. He stands at 6'4", and has a broad chest, and thick arms. He is in almost all aspects, intimidating.

History: Donovan comes from a long line of military men, and he is no different. He joined the USMC straight out of high school, and quickly distinguished himself as a capable soldier. He quickly found he was very talented in the usage of explosives, and specialized in them. He spent nearly a decade serving in the USMC, and in one particular case, managed to rig an entire enemy occupied fort with plastic explosives. He served honorably, and was promoted accordingly until Project Freelancer took notice of him. He joined up eagerly, hoping to distinguish himself further. In training, he mastered the art of ambush tactics and trap laying.

Personality: Despite his gruff appearance, Donovan is very friendly and gregarious. He is a loud person, and has the bad habit of shouting out to friends, acquaintances, and even strangers, at long distances. He is not serious at all, and likes to tell jokes and pull pranks on others in his down time. There are very few people Donovan has met that he didn't like, and try to make friends with. Even on mission and in training, he likes to make conversation with anyone around.

Any specific weaknesses/flaws: He is lacking in the way of long range combat. He can manage close range due to his size, but he's not as good as those who have trained in it.

Quirks: Talks too much, hence his nickname.

This is an app for another RP that went nowhere, so it's a bit different than the bio you posted. If you need anything changed, feel free to let me know.
