Okay, see, now that's just bad.

I had in mind to do a former criminal - Hitman/assassin type that was now just trying to make it. Not a Dexter Morgan, serial killer, but a professional "troubleshooter" with employers and the like. Maybe that's too OP, I'm not sure.

I've also looked at an Outfitter/Backpacker store clerk, who's got some time out in the bush, with perhaps some military experience from years prior.

I've thought about doing a Nat'l Guard Rifleman, last of his/her unit just trying to link up with another command element.

I've thought about doing a patrol cop that has kind of gotten caught out and is trying to link up with the military or law enforcement, and maybe help out anybody he/she can along the way.

I've also thought of a Con Artst or Espionage Agent - might feel like of like a greasy Used Car Salesman type, that you don't quite fully trust, but you have to trust at least some if you wanna make it out. Charming, funny, but is about as hard to kill as a New York City cockroach in a corner under a cabinet. Not because of being super-tough or anything, just... slippery scumbag. Anybody who's watched Burn Notice should know exactly who I'm talking about.

I've thought about cloning myself and throwing in, just to see if I personally could make it. (I really doubt. Despite my knowledge and skills, my physical abilities are... nowhere near what they need to be or used to be).

I've also thought about playing a biker from The Reapers MC. I've thought about playing a Kendoka (kendo practitioner) and I've thought about a historical weapons specialist from the Smithsonian.

Lots of ideas.
Color me interested!

This reminds me a lot of RECON by Palladium Books, which is a great game and setting.

I would definitely be interested in playing an Intel officer or Pigman. At the least I'd settle in as a rifleman.

Also, Hi Tome, I swear I'm not stalking.

As a long time student of militaria, especially US, as well as bushcraft/survival, and environments and situations like this, I would love to put myself into the mental challenge. I still need to make a character for "No Hope" but there's soooo much I could do there, so it's hard to choose. Here, it's a little different.

I'd be willing to take corporal, and run a fireteam or something, though this is less about a LURRP or combat, and more about "RTB before the VC break a boot off in us".

Interested in this. Haven't read the IC yet, but I've gone through all the OOC now.

Many ideas afloat in my head.

Edit: With the summary of events, its not as necessary to read through all the IC.

Still many ideas!
Seconded *slams gavel*
I google all kinds of stuff for RP's from firearms, to explosives, to police 10-codes, police signal codes, military history, military jargon, historical information, old cultures, period influences, medical terminology, diseases, vehicles, ancient and modern weapons, tactics, pictures, face claims info, music, playlists, equations for calculating things like speed, mass, acceleration, gravity wells, and so on.

I like to be pretty accurate. The other night I wasted hourrrrrs on pulling up Albuquerque Police Department's 10-codes, as well as New Mexico's, as well as finding out if they were a "plain-talk" or coded department. I also found a site to listen in on their police and sheriff's department radio bands in real-time. I researched their callsign proceedures, how they lay out their patrols/beats, districts and some proceedures. I probably know more about the ABQ PD than most people who live in ABQ by now. Most of this was for one little post I wanted to get right.

Now, I play a cop that's from there, so I have my reasons, and have done other research on ABQ PD before, but this was a whole new level. However, I'm pretty happy with the post, and it's feel.

Maybe I should start posting a "My RP Tools" article up here somewhere.

But yeah... I do a ton of research all the time. ... Pretty much daily. Wikipedia is a hell of a time sink, as are many other places on the net.

I'm definitely on several watch-lists by now. Or at least people are getting to enjoy some good reading/writing.
Merp
PM'd you
We've had so many noble souls lost lately that it hurts my heart. It is time to gather ourselves up and keep moving toward a brighter tomorrow, a grand story we can all contribute to. Roll call!

Those I haven't mentioned have assured me recently of their committal and have my complete faith.


I know I'm AWOL, but I can at least sound off.

I really ought to make a push to catch up and get back to posting.
Parkour!

The building was on fire, and it wasn't my fault - Harry Dresden

Still interested in a possible game here. I have the RPG books, as well as read all the series, except for a few small short stories. I've also watched the Series, though... it wasn't nearly as good.
