Bio

Hello ffolkes, thecircus here. Or you can use Jeff, my given name. I have been involved in all aspects of gaming for over 35 years. I enjoy Battletech, MegaTraveller, Millennium's End, Star Grunt2, Werewolf and X-Wing most of all. I began writing a few years ago, having an article published in the Traveller online fanzine "Freelance Traveller". I have been encouraged by my wife to write more, so here I am. My other online endeavor was as one of the Admins at battletechuniverse.org.

I am a disabled veteran, having spent 10 years in the US Navy and 3 years in the US Army. I have seen combat in the first Gulf War and in other locations in the Americas.

I used to be an action junkie in my younger days, being both a skydiver and a SCUBA diver, but nowadays I spend my time target shooting, playing X-Wing and trying to write, and playing with my dogs; Zephyr, Truffle, Piper and Gussy. I enjoy listening to music and reading, cooking and the weather. I am also a Major in the Civil Air Patrol, the USAF Auxiliary; which is responsible for 90% of all USAF Search and Rescue work in the US.

Bio / backstory:
‘Uhili “Eats” Uta ‘atu is the typical Polynesian; Big, Broad and Boisterous. He was born in September of 1985 to a family with a long history of service to Tonga. After a typical Tongan childhood of fishing, swimming, wrestling with friends and ditching school, he joined the Tongan military at the age of 18.
“Eats” has deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan with the USMC, and to the Solomon Islands as part of a multinational peace-keeping force. In between deployments, Uta’atu has cross-trained with 20th Surveillance and Target Acquisition Regiment, Royal Australian Artillery; 1st Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance Brigade, 104Regiment Royal Artillery, and the Special Reconnaissance Regiment of the British Army; US Army Scout/Sniper School, United States Army Jumpmaster Course, United States Army Military Free Fall Parachutist Course, United States Army Pathfinder Course, United States Army Reconnaissance and Surveillance Leaders Course , United States Army Special Forces Combat Diver Qualification Course, United States Army Special Forces Sniper Course, United States Army Special Forces Waterborne Infiltration Course, United States Army Sniper Course, 1/5th Marines, 3rd Marine Raider Bn, and Special Boat Team 12 in the United States. ‘Uhili is qualified as a MFF and static line parachutist and JumpMaster, Pathfinder, Combat diver, and sniper.

He received the nickname “Eats” from his contemporaries, as they could not find any food he would not try at least once. He also encourages his teammates to do hakas after every mission, his way of developing unit cohesion and esprit’ de corp.

After 15 years in the service of his country, ‘Uhili decided it was time to move on. He joined various small PMC companies, fighting in Senegal, Ivory Coast, and Djibouti before joining Cygnus.

Synopsis: “Eats” specializes in Battlefield Surveillance, ISTAR, Urban Reconnaissance, and Battle damage Assessment. He revels in “Point” duties, as this allows him to hone his skills.
Description: 6’6”, 289lbs, long black hair in a ponytail, brown eyes, wrestler’s build.
Languages spoken: English(main), Polynesian, Arabic, and Dari

I got dibs on BeNeLux!!

I like the premise and am interested in participating.

Jeff
Ffolkes, I am Tongan, not American! LOL
The Tongan military is very small, so it can't support all the schools that a modern military has. Hence, all of the cross training.

Persona is posted. I hope to start writing this week.
