@WilsonTurner, I very well appreciate your throughness, and thank you for not holding grudges and/or angry responses toward us other RPers (especially me ^^). I totally understand your view point and how you would like any fellow players to acknowledge your suggestions and critism. I personally believe critism and other forms of interpersonal correction is healthy for any group. Now that this seems to be sorted out, I'm gonna go sit in my corner with my potato chips...
@GodOfWar, you say flamewar, but I am not flaming. I am not intending to be disrespectful or rude. I am intending to correct what is, in my opinion, because that is all one can ever go on with fiction, illegitimate and unrealistic problems or characteristics.
I apologize, I had no intentions of accusing you of flame war, and I hope it didn't come across too strongly if it seemed I did. I was only trying to add a little humor to the current friendly argument. Again, I apologize for my wrong-timed meme. No hard feelings?
Here's an attempt at a character for you, let me here some thoughts. And yes, I know it's long-winded, and very much so.

Comment:
4 weeks into being stationed at Kislo, the Rebellion launched a full scale siege on the outer mining colony in attempts to secure a F.O.B. in the sector. The rebellion would bombard the Federal colony hoping to hit a refinery or fuel store and destroy use the explosion to cause collateral damage to the colonial defenses. On the 9th day of the siege, the rebels were landed on the ground with scouts. First Sergeant Erik Tan would lead Kiro Squad out of the Kislo colony behind enemy lines to ambush a rebel fireteam, steal their uniforms, secure their scout fighter, and fly it back to the Rebel Cruiser "Halin's Liberty" and overload its reactor, destroying the command ship of the Rebel ships sent to carry out the siege. The siege would be lifted, and Kislo would be safely under Federal monitoring once again. First Sergeant Erik Tan would receive a Federal Insignia of Valor for his grand example of strength and power along with the promotion from First Sergeant to Sergeant Major.
