Current Projects/Freelance work
I am a voice talent and script writer for Faerun History
I have a much smaller personal Youtube channel that I use to make videos on various subjects. Only been making videos for 2 years, but it's growing!
I'm the host of a Science Fiction & Fantasy Podcast where I interview authors of the genre.
Interests (Includes but is not limited to)
Writing/Reading (Love writing and I own too many books)
Video Games (Been a gamer for close to 23 years now)
Working Out/Martial Arts (Wing Chun/Oyama Karate mostly. Some historical swordplay as well.)
History (Military History is my specialty)
Zoology
Art (Mostly Illustrations. Used to be good. Am picking it back up)
Voice Acting/Singing
Tabletop Gaming (Started late in the game. Been at it for 3 years. I was the kid who bought the monster manuals and D&D books just for the lore for the longest time. I've played 3.5e, 5e, Star Wars D20, Edge of the Empire, PF, and PF2.)
Weaponry of all kinds
Anime (mostly action/shonen. DBZ & YYH being my favorites)
Movies (Action/War/Drama films being my go-to)
Music (Rock of all kinds, as well as historical folk songs, sea shanties, pub songs, a bit of classical music, etc)
Guitar (am learning to play, but being left handed makes it challenging)
There's more but if you care enough you can PM me :P
Roleplay F.A.Q.
Fantasy, Sci Fi, and Historical are my genres. Fantasy being my favorite and Sci Fi/Historical being close seconds.
Advanced / Nation / 1x1 / Casual (only in certain circumstances)
I generally write at the 'Advanced Level' meaning 4+ Paragraphs with good grammar.
I am usually busy with many projects and RPs, but if you wish to do a 1x1 with me, you'll need to present your case. Those I already do it with have my trust as a Roleplayer.
I love many, many fictional universes so me trying to list them all is an effort in futility!
@SepAh, awesome. My bad. Ok, I'll add they were put into Rancor company and that they received some training in how to work properly with the Rebel Alliance, and a few days previous were put into the Company after passing training. :D
@SepHonestly I was hoping to join like Lauder's unit, being relatively new but also known for being a warlike people. I believe you're assuming that I am going to try to derail the RP or that I am misunderstanding what the objective is. I'm not planning on turning my squad into anything that'll harm what you're planning. I realize they're apart of the Rebel Alliance now, but I also know that most commanders would know that Mandalorian's know what they're doing generally since they're bred for war. But they've only been with Rancor Company a few months, which I suppose would entail some training? I'll go with your advice on that.
@SepThey're 100% mandalorian since he pretty much got a part of his clan to join the Rebel Alliance. I'd think that since they're hardened warriors used to forward operations and independence that they would naturally be put into Rancor Company, that and they hail from the native planet of the Rancor beast. If I added that and awaited Gunther's instruction, would that be sufficient my good sir?
Reconnaissance/Assasination (served as a bounty hunter/mercenary for many years)
Jet Pack and Flamer Proficiency
Knows Outer Rim worlds and customs.
Weaknesses: Stubborn Pride: Pib and his unit hardly ever pull back unless he has a flanking maneuver in the very near future in mind. He isn't about to be seen as weak or cowardly. Judgemental: Sees many others as weak, unless they have already earned his and his squad's respect. Honor: Will not cheat/steal/ or lie his way out of trouble. Lack of Loyalty: He'll not go against planned tactics, but he has little love for the Rebel alliance or its ideals other than taking down the Empire.
History: Born during the year of the Great Huk War (36 BBY) upon one of the outer lying Colony worlds inhabited by Mandalorians (Dathomir), Pib was raised as one would expect a warrior and hunter would. His mother was rough on him, but fair, for his training began at age 4 on 32BBY. His father, Aloc, was just preparing to teach his son proper survival and combat techniques when he was approached by an old associate, Jango Fett for a secret job. Aloc went and became one of the seventy five Mandalorian 'Sergeants' that helped train the new Army of the Republic, and did not return for another decade.
When he arrived back, Pib was 14 years old and had already conducted clan hunts on world and bounty contracts off world, having also slain a Nexu on Cholganna when a spacer had hoped to escape Pib's pursuit through the jungle world. Though his father was proud of him, and Pib showed no resentment, they did not initially become close until fighting a few battles together.
The following years, Aloca and Pib began to work together on various missions of the Mercenary variety. Soon word spread of the new 'peaceful' Mandalorians, which was embraced by the Republic but scorned by many clans including the Dosa clan. Perhaps they would have opposed it more openly, if an even more hated foe (the new Death Watch) did not become the antagonistic force trying to overthrow this new, peaceful movement.
Work was hard to come by surprisingly during the Clone Wars. The Republic would have nothing to do with them unless for strictly off the record assignments. The Confederacy had Jango Fett, but lost him tragically and hired the famed Durge who slew any Mandalorian he could find, and both Aloca and Pib knew Dooku would back him if it came to choosing. However, they were still used on a few missions by Dooku unbeknownst to Durge. One such mission on Rhyloth was called upon, and Aloca lost his life fighting Jedi in a surprise ambush. Pib killed two and maimed a third with his barehands, and managed to escape with his life.
He flew home and began to lead the clan, no longer being apart of the group in the tenches with them, but leading them at the fore. He began to reorganize the clan into a more ambitious enterprise than Aloca had done, forming them into a Mercenary company called the Strike Platoon, which was successful until the Galactic Empire was formed. What looked like an initial boom in work swiftly went sour after the Imperial betrayal with Mandalore Shysa and the subsequent slaughter and enslavement of countless Mandalorians. It was then that not only had the Empire besmirched the honor of the Mandalorians, but had effectively sent the rest of them into exile. Strike Platoon gladly joined the Rebel alliance, to destroy the Empire, overthrow the pretender Emperor and retake what was lost.
A few months before the current date, Pib and his Contingent of troops were placed in the Rebel Alliance and underwent what the alliance considered training, which the Mandalorians reluctantly but understandably accepted without complaint, learning how the Rebel Alliance maneuvered and where they would be set up. They were placed in Rancor company a few days previous to fill in some of the losses received at Anaxes.

Supporting Cast: As you will be interacting with NPCs on a regular basis within your Squad/Squadron/Platoon please mention the ones you will be interacting with most often here, as well as what they're going to be doing.
@Sep Still only got some minor things to add after I wake up, but I'd love your acceptance or critique of my history so I don't need to worry on that anymore haha.
