Summer break is upon me! Woo Hoo! Roleplaying, Warhammer (Age of Sigmar), writing a book, and the gym are my main activities for the next nine weeks.

The dot over a lowercase i and j has a name! It's called a tittle, which is a noun meaning "a tiny amount or part of something". Like the dot over an i or a j.

Bio
I am a veteran of the United States Army and the US Army National Guard. I spent three years on Active Duty serving in the 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized) at Ft. Carson, CO, and the 3rd Armor Division at Kirch Göns, West Germany. I spent 18 years in the Army National Guard with the 26th Infantry Division "Yankee" and 29th Infantry Division (Light), "The Blue and the Gray". I was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina with the 29th ID (L) in 2001 - 2002. I have also been reading military history articles and books for 50 years. I do prefer Military Role Plays over all other genres, primarily because I have a vast knowledge of the subject including personal experiences. At the very least, my characters are always veterans.
I have been writing for pleasure for at least 35+ years but only got into forum-based Role Playing about fifteen years ago. I do enjoy Nation Role Plays and get into minute detail when designing my military. The only reason I enjoy excruciating detail in my militaries is because for me, it is fun. My education and experience on this subject afford me the insight to see the depth of the structure. It is not just a General and a large pile of soldiers. If someone wants assistance in designing an army, navy, or air force, please send me a PM. I will help. Please specify what level (echelon) or depth you would like me to go. When I say echelon, I mean Army, Corps, Division, Brigade/Regiment, Battalion/Squadron, Company/Troop/Battery, Platoon, and Squad/Section.
When I was a student in High School, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons (Edition 1 & 2). Later editions came out after I quit that game. Recently, I have been DMing a 5e campaign of my creation for my son and his friends. 5e is so much less cumbersome than earlier editions of D&D. I do have an interest in Tolkien-esque fantasy-styled Role Plays as well. Time travel has always been a fun genre for me, but to do it well, one must have a firm grasp of historical facts. I love doing this form of role play, especially since I have a solid foundation on the past.
There are only a few fanfictions I will participate in; Star Wars and Star Trek are two of them. I want to do an exclusively Klingon RP one of these days. I also avoid Canon characters.
I have real-world martial arts experience. I would love to write an RP about hand-to-hand combat, no fantasy magic chit, just hands elbows, knees, and feet. Maybe the occasional head butt thrown in to mix things up. I trained in Krav Maga for six and a half years. I earned a first-degree black belt in Krav Maga on 3 June 2017.
Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art form that employs practical self-defense techniques drawing forms & techniques from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwando. It is very brutal, demanding, and aggressive. During the seven years I trained, I have bruised two ribs, sustained several muscle pulls, and various lacerations and bruises over my body. I have received a sprained ankle and a fractured wrist. Before the first black belt test, I received a bone bruise to my right shin; where my roundhouse kicks impact. Yet, I am stupid enough to continue training. [Regardless of the physical pain, it is more fun than any other physical activity I have engaged in. Fortunately, the bone bruise healed up prior to the third and final test. EDIT: I did leave the sport over four years ago. :(]
Almost two years ago I completed my first novel, a science fiction set in the 24th century. It focuses on a Private Military Corporation solely employed by the earth government. I started a second book in November 2022 and hope to work on that this summer when I have more time.
Send me a PM for a Role Play or if you would like to see what sort of an army I could build for you.

Appearance
Height: 5' 9-1/2" (I shrunk!) :( Build: Medium Eyes: Blue Hair: Dark Brown Skin Tone: Moderate to tanned Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: no tattoos or piercings. 1.5” Scar on the back of the left shoulder (dog’s tooth); 5” scar on left wrist (fracture repair procedure); 0.5” scar on the left knee (rock strike) Personal Style: Jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers, wearing a ball cap. Three of my children have their own cars. Image: I look like a soldier because it is what I know. I tend to wear a high and tight haircut. Clean-shaven, although I grow a beard in November.
Sexuality: Straight Relationship Status: Married with Children Personality: Gunther is conservative but flexible and objective. He attends Catholic mass with his family regularly and attempts a life free from sin. He can be a very moody person swinging from very warm, friendly, and extroverted to quiet and secluded. He hates winter; January and February make him very depressed. Gunther loves his children and would do anything for them and his wife.
Gunther is a morning person, but that comes from a life of serving in the military. He would rather go to bed early and get up early; prefers to exercise in the morning over working out just before bed. His chief flaw is saying what pops into his head unrestrained without thinking it over before letting fateful words spill out, full-fledged Gryffindor.

History
What Brings You To Role Player Guild: There is a large community of writers here. I enjoy the hobby even though I rarely get time to participate. Currently, I try to limit my stories to one at a time. Unfortunately, I rarely find one I enjoy and others are willing to write in. When I do, they die way too early. Life Before You Came To Role Player Guild: It was very different. I don’t know how to explain it in just a few words or sentences. Life Since You Came To Role Player Guild: This is just a side hobby. I have many irons in the fire and this is just one of them. It has taken a back seat to my real life activities.

Quotes or Sayings: “Those who fail to learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them.” – Winston Churchill paraphrasing George Santayana. “If you’re going to fight, fight like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark and brother…It’s starting to rain.” Theme Song: Warrior’s Call Advice To The World: Forgive the actions of those who came before us. Behaviors we consider heinous crimes today were generally accepted practices many years ago. Anything Else:
- cloth satchel containing… - food - money (small amount) - water, in a bladder - prayer beads - pipa (Lute) - flint & steel - small white wax candles - other personal items
____________________________________
E Q U I P M E N T
- Uchigatana (74cm / 29 1/8”) - a curved, single-edged blade with a rectangular guard and long grip to accommodate two hands. - Wakizashi (45cm / 17 2/3”) – a shorter version of the Uchigatana sword mentioned above. - Kenichi’s Do plate (cuirass) is solid steel, curved to fit his torso and padded beneath. The Do is steel grey, marred with many scratches from blades scraping across its surface. - His Watagami (shoulder strap / board) are knitted with pockets containing small bars of steel to provide flexibility with the arms. These are colored purple with red tassles. - the Kabuto (helmet) is buried beneath a magnificent plumage of white hair intended to create intimidation within his opponent. - He wears a metallic grey face mask, designed to invoke fear in his enemy. The metallic horns should not be confused with his natural horns covered by the mask. - The Kote (sleeve armor) contains several slender strips of steel stitched together and tied into the red Tekko (hand guards). - Kenichi wears black Hakama (pants) with gold trim. The Hakama are billowy, tied at the ankle into his black tabi (socks), which are padded on the soles. - He wears a purple sash over a purple Haidate (thigh guard) which is made of cloth stitched plates of steel similar to the Watagami.
Kenichi is on the high side of average for the Honfu with a slender yet athletic build. There are plenty of horn folk taller than Kenichi, but more are shorter. A lean muscular physique gives him a wiry appearance, lending to his flexibility. Kenichi has pale white skin drawing out his deep blue eyes. His unkempt white hair appears windswept, but it in such disarray on a day with no wind.
Kenichi dresses in simple black or grey Hitatare (robe) and Hakama when not wearing his armor. The Uchigatana and wakizashi may be seen tucked into his purple sash, which he wears as well when not in armor.
Kenichi proudly displays his broad dark horns which appear to be swept back across the top of his forehead. The tips curl up at the ends. Kenichi prefers to adorn his horns with golden chains mixed with purple, red, blue, green and amber colored beads. He lets the beads dangle off his horns on the sides of his head.
Kenichi was raised at court, his father, Tomichi holding the position of Hero to the Prefect of Karitu. His upbringing was surrounded by the nobility of the court in Cimanu and envoys from the Emperor in Bianwei. Tomichi taught his sons and daughters to value honor above all else. The boy admired his father with devotion.
Kenichi’s mother, Haruka bore five children after his birth, Keiko (34), Hiroka (33), Yoshio (deceased) & Takuma (29). As a child, Kenichi was held responsible for looking after his younger siblings frequently. His mother expected him to keep his sisters and brothers safe from would be malevolents.
As a boy, Kenichi, Yoshio, Takuma and other sons of Senshodo played at being Senshodo. They used wooden bokutō (swords), practicing the art of the sword (Kobudō), pretending to fight some great evil horde. In every encounter the sons of Senshodo overcame their opponent. When the boys were considered old enough, they were allowed to train with the Senshodo to one day fill the shoes of their Senshodo parent.
Also as a boy, Kenichi was interested in learning to play the Pipa (Lute) and studied often. His martial skills always took priority over his music lessons. Somehow Kenichi always managed to continue to practice playing the Pipa and maintains an instrument to this day.
At age 15, the family was overcome by a deadly virus. The seven members of the House of Tomichi sustained feverish chills, body aches, and difficulty breathing. A medicine man visited the house frequently to abate the symptoms. Kenichi suffered for only six days. His two sisters were bed ridden for a week and a half. His mother and younger brother suffered for only four days. But his father and younger brother, Yoshio succumbed to the virus never to breath the fresh air of Karitu again.
After a year of mourning the loss of family members, including a hero of Karitu, Kenichi began training as a Senshodo with the other men of the realm. Do to who his father was, Kenichi was accepted immediately and given the respect he deserved. He fit in well with the others and quickly made a name for himself as an agile and proficient warrior.
At 22 years of age, Kenichi met Hana, an 18 year old Honfokum with light blue skin and white hair like Kenichi. Her amber colored eyes drew Kenichi to her and then they realized a chemistry neither had experienced before. Within two years, the two married and began a family of their own in Cimanu.
By age 30, Kenichi and Hana had three children, Hiroko (11), Yoshio (9) and Taemon (8). Kenichi continues his training as a Senshodo for the prefect of Karitu and is accepted as a proficient warrior of the realm. He left his family at home, traveling to Bianwei for the Wan Yue festivities only to learn of the assassination of the young emperor, Xiao Shang. He is now filled with anger, sadness and frustration over the empire’s loss. He is taking an oath to find his killer.
When Kenichi was a young man/boy, he was confident about his future. The boy was filled with admiration for his father, Tomichi. He looked upon him as a God. The man was very respectful of his children teaching Kenichi and his brothers the ways of Aniyat and the ten divines as well as the Honfokum Senshodo, path of the warrior.
When Tomichi passed away along with his brother Yoshio, Kenichi took on a hardened façade to protect his vulnerability. By the age of 16, he had become tough emotionally, reticent as well as regaining his earlier confidence. If it were not for his quiet demeanor and serious focus, he would be considered arrogant.
The encounter with his young bride, Hana reopened his hear to the possibility of love. He could not subdue the feelings which changed his personality again. He retained the reticence and tough exterior from his teen years, but now acquired a certain social empathy for others. Her love helped to round out the warrior hardened by loss. Her presence in his life completes him; makes him whole.
____________________________________________________________________________ MOTIVATION AND OUTLOOK
Kenichi is bound by Honor and Senshodo to pursue Emperor Shang’s killer. He is devoted to his family and would think twice about putting himself into a position that would jeopardize them. He has left a sizeable fortune to allow Hana and the children to continue if he were to lay down his life in the pursuit of these goals. He values honor and would do nothing to desecrate this quality.
