Templars~

This new RP has brought 4 new faces in just a matter of days. Just today I got another PM asking if it was still open for new applications. If this most recent PM joins, that means we have the potential to DOUBLE our ranks with this RP and we haven't even started it yet.

It's because of this that I wanted to have a discussion with you. While our numbers are few and we are doing this mainly to boost numbers, I wanted to talk about these new guys with you. I was thinking that I could send an open invitation out to everyone at the conclusion of the mission, although, it occurred to me that over the course of events here we could find someone that wouldn't mesh well. It's because of this I wanted to post this here and get input from you guys about who you like and who you dislike,etc. To be clear, this isn't a popularity contest. I just want to have a record here of what we think of our potential new recruits. I'll post new profiles as we gain more. For now, here are the starters.

And to be clear: I am NOT reviewing anything about these profiles via PM. These are exactly how they were sent to me and accepted without question. I'm not looking for a profile review as much as a "what vibes are you getting from this person"? Then we can provide further comment as we get to know each other and their RP styles.

The guild is set to Hidden...so no one is reading this but us.



Profiles


Freelance Operatives

Lt-Schalton
Quote:
Name: SSG Trevor Greene
Focus of Training: Special Reconnaissance (UAV scanning, satelite hacking for image data, etc.)
Appearance: "And in this corner, weighing in at one hundred ninety-four pounds with a height of six foot one is the brown haired, green eyed, twenty-five year old from Kansas! Trevor GREENE!"
Personality: Greene is pretty outgoing, despite the fact that the kinds of conversations he makes are always awkward. He's pretty harmless outside the combat zone, never gets into fights or starts anything.
Belongings: Greene carries with him his trusty M110 with Thermal Weapon System, complete with bipod, PEQ box to mark targets with laser in night time, flash hider, and attached range finder (really just his range finder binoculars duct-taped to the top of his TWS); and his standard issue combat knife from when he was in the Armed Forces
Other: During his service, Greene was given the codes to the US Satellites in geosynchronous orbit over the Middle East and various other parts of the world. His callsign has remained the same since he was inducted into the Army; Overwatch. He provides reconnaissance over any area, hot or not.
History: Greene was born in the Omaha, Nebraska whilst his mother and father were on vacation. Growing up in Middle-of-nowhere, Kansas provided Trevor with the chance to play a lot, especially board games and puzzles. Whenever he got to meet up with his friends, they would go through the typical games young kids play, tag, then freeze tag, then hide and go seek. All of Greene's friends hated it when he played hide and go seek, because he could easily remain unseen, and even if he did get caught, it took him seconds upon the game starting to find the first person. Out of High School and with no real direction in life, Trevor enlisted into the Army. From there he went through basic Airborne Training at Fort Benning, Georgia, then through HALO jumping, Marksman school, Special Forces Assessment and Screening, then through intelligence training with UAVs and Satellites. After serving honorably for seven years, Greene left as a Staff Sergeant and moved to England to follow a buddy of his who he had met in Afghanistan.
RP Sample: Greene looked up at the clear star-lit sky. All around him was the vast, flat desert of the Middle East, with the exception of the small town of Jawalabad. His watch read ten at night, that left him with only thirty minutes to find the highest dune in the area with a good overview of the city. By the time he reached his dune, he could already hear the distinct sound of the approaching Blachawks. "Overwatch this is Bullwhip Actual. How's it look down there?" Greene was slightly startled at the voice, but quickly realized it was the Blachawk pilot.
"Bullwhip Actual, this is Overwatch. It's pretty nasty down there, if I were you I'd wait for CAS to come in and make 'em waste their ammo, then roll the infantry in."
"Uh, that's a negative Overwatch. I've got thirteen eager troops in my bird alone, and a hell of a lot more in the other four. CAS says it's ETA is fifteen mics, and I bet they've heard us already. Proceeding with Operation Coolidge."
"s**t... Roger, commencing Operation Coolidge."
Greene looked through the Thermal on his M110 at the white figures way out. He switched to black hot, looked through his range finder at the middle of the city, and clicked the distance in. "Five hundred meters, no wind. Perfect." Trevor quickly identified the targets with AA missiles. He counted four, and put two rounds in each one of them, then he saw it. It rolled out from a garage where it had been hiding, waiting for the US to arrive. "Break! Break! We have a Tunguska in the AO! Repeat, We have Triple-A in the city! Objective is not possible without CAS support, over!" But it was too late. Greene watched helplessly as two of the four blachawks were sliced in half by the Tunguska's heavy breath of what appeared to be fire. Although the thought of the incident was horrifying, he couldn't help but notice how beatiful it was, as an image. The tracers from the Tunguska were so close together and tightly packed that they were more like a river of fire than a chain. By then Greene had had enough time to process everything that was going on around him.
"Citizen this is Overwatch, we need immediate SADARM support on target grid 4.928 North by 6.772 West, over!"
"Overwatch this is Citizen, Roger that, SADARM strike inbound on those coordinates."

By the time the SADARMs hit the Tunguska, the other two choppers had landed behind the dunes, and the downed birds were swarming with gunfire from the surviving soldiers shooting at the incoming swarm of Taliban, and vice versa. Greene gave assistance to the best of his ability, shooting rounds as accurately as possible, but also in a timely manner.
"Citizen this is Overwatch, good hit on target. Bullwhips two and four are down, but survivors have been sighted. Please advise, over."
"Roger Overwatch, orders are as follows: Bullwhips One, Three, and Five are to drop off infantry units and RTB, those units are then to make a push for the downed birds, secure those crash sites, rendevouse with survivors, and proceed with the mission, CAS is inbound, ETA five mics. Citizen out."
"Ah, s**t..." Green knew he was in for a long night.


Lieutenant Bumm
Quote:
Name: Pvt. Jarekki "Ghost" Nocturne
Focus of Training: Careless. Jarekki seems to act like he doesn't care about most of the things anyone says, as if he were a higher level than what he truly was. Other than stated, Jarekki is into sharpshooting and melee. During his sniper tasks, he usually smokes cigarettes and stays on-topic, but is probably one of the most relaxed sharpshooters this group of humans had. As for his melee skills, they are unique and quick. Jarekki would be known as a true assassin.
Appearance: Age: Eighteen. Height/Weight: 5'11/169lbs. His hair is short in the back, but long in the front. It's colored black, with a purple streak going down one side of a bang. His eyes are light blue. He's one skinny b*****d, but a tricky one. Jarekki wears baggy, black/cargo jeans, with a dark undershirt. He wears a dark fedora with a cross on it's side most of the time, otherwise its a bandana.
Personality: Jarekki is one careless b*****d. He acts emo, goth, scene. Whatever you'd like to call him. But he isn't. Jarekki doesn't talk so much, only when spoken towards. Sometimes he's a smartass to higher ranks, but most often he keeps to himself and does his job.
Belongings: M40A3 Marine Sniper Rifle, Throwing Knives, Gerber LHR Combat Knife. Always has a pack of cigarettes and a couple matchbooks on him.
History: Jarekki was born July 2, 1992. He had survived being almost drowned by his mother and was shot twice by his father at age 5. His mother went to the state asylum and his father's whereabouts are unknown. Growing up alone was a hard task, until he went street-smart. At age thirteen, he was surrounded by five members of the Sadistic Skull Bashers (SSB) gang. The next thing that happened left the leading man with his arm chopped off and his head half buried into the ground, with his comrads backing away slowly and running without hesitation. At age fifteen, Jarekki affiliated with the Faceless Assassins, which lead him to be the scariest teenager around. After that year, he bailed out on the J.A.W gang, the only thing of remembrance is the J.A.W specialized tattoo on his back. At age seventeen, he signed up for the military, but was refused. He proved them their decision was a mistake (in cases not to be specified) and they let him in.
RP Sample:
Jarekki caught the vodka and listened to what Skylar had to say. Of course he didn't respond, but listened as Skylar walked away with Angie. He took a drink out of his glass and slammed it down before listening to somebody breathe on him from behind. Jarekki didn't bother to turn around, as two more shadows hovered over him. He blinked once and sighed before attempting to take another glass. When he raised it, a hand came down and slammed the cup to the table.

"... The hell are you doing?" A deep, strong voice said.

"You're too young to drink. I suggest you leave," Another said.

"Yeah, you don't want to cause trouble, do you?" The third called out.

Jarekki felt three smirks behind him before a gun was pointed to his head. He continued to look at the desk as they threatened him. For what it was worth, he could tell the three attackers were Skull Bashers. All he lived for was to get back at the SSBs to get revenge. And to help him succeed is his family, the Faceless Assassins.

"Yo!" The first voice boomed," I'm talking to you, kid!"

The sound of a gun cocking ran through Jarekki's skull. Jarekki's elbow smashed into the second gangster's ribs while his body turned to the man behind him. He felt the trigger pull as bullets sped over him, while his hands wrapped the man's arm. The man's arm was successfully in Jarekki's pit before he turned, hearing a satisfying pop and the sweet sound of severe pain. Jarekki caught the gun with his hand and pulled the trigger at the third gangster, the bullet successfully whirling through the man's forehead.

"Yo man, what the ********?" The second man said," Dude, you just ******** up my crew..."

"Go ******** yourself," Jarekki said coldly before denying a plea for freedom and shooting the man in the head. He tossed the gun down before going back to his seat and sitting down, taking a drink from his glass.

Quote:
Name: Ezekial Erwitz
Focus of Training: Saboteur/Demolition
Appearance: Stands at en even 6 feet. 36 years old. Has light, almost blonde, brown hair in a typical militairy cut. Has a lean build to his body, though his legs show a bit of defined muscle. His eyes are a forest green color, and his skin has a fair tan to it. Typically wears hawaiian shirts when in civilian locations and not on a job. Wears a pair of jeans in various colors all the time, liking how hard it is to make them unwearable. Wears sleeveless shirts around base, with camo jackets during the colder months.
Personality: Tends to borderline psychotic at times, especially when explosions are involved. Acts serious when on the mission, but acts like an oversized child the rest of the time. Highly insecure in new places, tends to act even more childish at those times. Reads up on the newest ways to blow s**t up in his free time. Absolutely loooves overkill. Tends to change his appearance weekly.
Belongings: Uses a slightly modified G36C, with a grenade attachment added to it. Carries at least five pounds of C4 on his person at all times. Usually carries a jar of hair dye of various colors in his pocket, along with a two pairs of sunglasses. Carries a M9 with a silencer attachement for when he needs to do things quietly. Carries explosive weaponry during missions in which they are appropiate, like an RPG rocket launcher, or explosve grenades. Has special tear gas grenades for his gun's grenade launcher.
Other: Knows Russian, English, Spanish, and German.
History: Lived an average life in southern Indiana, was a city boy for most of his life. After graduating from high school he joined the Navy as a marine. He served for four years in the militairy before being dishonerably discharged for accidently blowing up several US boats. Immediately afterwards he joined a PMC going by the name of ShadeWraith, a PMC specializing in assassinations. He spent 12 years in the company until he was used as a scapegoat for an operation gone wrong. During an operation in which a team of three were to assassinate a corrupted government official in a hotel, something went wrong and they were discovered before they could complete the mission. His two partners got away, leaving him behind to take all the blame. After a narrow escape he went on the lamb, changing his appearance to held make him hard to find.
RP Sample: Ezekial adjusted the fancy tie around his neck, having trouble getting comfortable in it. "Remind me again why I have to be the one in the monkey suit?" "'Cause you drew the short straw. Now get a move on." He grumbled to himself as he placed the lid over the meal he was about to deliver. After making one last check that his M9 was properly loaded and was clean, he began pushing the cart toward the elevator. He took the chance of being alone in the elevator to check on the G36C underneith the cloth covering the cart, to make sure it was in a spot he could easily pull it out if needed. He quickly dropped the cloth back down to cover the gun as the ding signalling he'd arrived at his floor hit his ears. The only sound in the hallway was the sound of the wheels of the cart as he headed toward the room. He stopped the cart and knocked on the door. "Room service. I have the meal you ordered." The door opened to reveal a large muscular man standing in front of him. The mountain of muscle moved aside enough he could roll the cart in, closing the door behind him. Laying on the bed, counting a large amount of money was his target. He stopped the cart, then took the lid off the meal. He stood aside as the bodyguard went to test the food, placing his hand on his M9. Before he could pull it out however, the earpiece in his ear turned on. "Abort! Abort! I repeat, abort!"

The muscular bodyguard suddenly stood up straight and reached into his jacket. "s**t!" He quickly pulled the gun out of his pocket and unloaded the entire clip into the mountain of mass. The man fell backwards, the object he was pulling out flying onto the bed. A notebook hit the soft matress as the target dived for cover with a scream. He quickly reached under the cart and pulled out his G36C just as two more bodyguards burst out of the bathroom. He quickly unloaded an entire clip at them, one of them getting a shot in the head while the other just took a couple of shots to the arm. He quickly ran past them and opened the door quickly, slamming the door onto the living guard to knock him out. He reloaded his gun as he headed toward the elevator.

Ezekial stopped in his tracks as a ding rang through the hallway, singaling someone was coming up the elevator. He dived into a doorway, using itas cover as bullet shot down the hallway. He peeked out, and got a glimpse of their numbers before he had to pull it back as they shot some more at him. Ok.. there's at least three of them. I can't get to the other elevator, and I'll get shot down if I try to shoot them. It was at that time he noticed the laundry chute on the wall immediately across the hall from him. "Well.. I can't think of anything better." He fired wildy at the bodyguards in the elevator as he quickly moved across the hall. He opened the chute and dived in head first. It was at that moment he realized that if the cart at the bottom was empty, he'd die anyway. Lucky for him he landed in a pile of soft dirty clothes.

Ezekial pulled himself out of the cart and quickly heaed out of the room. He eneded up in the garage, and looked around for a way to escape. He noticed a car driving toward the exit at a slow rate, and he quickly heaed toward it. He got next to it, knocked on the door, and pointed his G36C at the man. "GET THE HELL OUT OF THE CAR! Leave the keys in there too!" He kept his gun trained on the man as he climbed into the car, then drove away at full speed.

Quote:
Name: Spc. Garth Rom
Focus of Training: Stealth first and foremost. As such his training has been focused on silent personal combat (with knives and/or bare hands) and the use of long range snipers/mid range marksman guns.
Appearance: 36, 5' 11", 180lbs roughly. Pale-skinned. Hair is black, but buzzcut so it's VERY short. Jaw covered in stubble. A staple in his outfit for every op is a camouflage load-bearing harness. For most of his 'work clothing' including the harness, he owns all styles of camouflage. Often for warmer climates, his outfit consists of tactical BDUs, his harness and equipment, and whatever other holsters or ammo/dump pouches he needs, as well as combat boots and a UNITCOM combat communications helmet. When it gets cold, he weathers through it. When it gets TOO cold he layers himself with a simple tanktop under fatigues, under the harness, under a hooded and camouflaged tactical coat.
Personality: At ease, Garth is available to listen, but if you want him to talk, expect heavy and rather biblical pessimism, and a sarcastic sense of humor to go with it; more often than not you'll hear a "we're all going to die" type joke. His father's stories about the Cold War were what planted within him an unflinching belief that one incident could, and in fact will at some point, cause a nuclear holocaust which will bring the world to extinction. When Garth is on a mission, his stealth instincts kick in. As such, radio communication is kept to an extreme minimum while he's on his own.
Belongings: Besides the aforementioned harness and gear, Garth's arsenal consists of an extremely well-preserved M1911 handed down by his father (with silencer), a Kukri knife, and a c14 MRSWS Canadian sniper rifle, with proprietary silencer. Garth also carries a Chinese tactical spade and a multitool. Depending on his orders, Garth is also prepared to procure-on-site.
Other: ..can't think of anything else that doesn't already have its place here.
History: Childhood was spent with a loving father, divorced from a drunk and a thief. He looked up to his father, despite the fact that they couldn't spend much time together inbetween the father's two jobs. Garth was especially proud of his father's military heroism, and often stared at dad's Congressional Medal of Honor. He grew older and even though he graduated college with a BS in Business, the economy was in shambles and all attempts at a living were unsuccessful. This is when Garth decided to carry on his father's legacy.
RP Sample: Garth waited up in the tree, legs wrapped tightly around a branch, until the sentry walked under. He quietly slid his knife out of its sheath and waited until the guard was directly below him before letting both hands off of the branch. As his upper body hung upside down from the tree, he quickly grabbed the enemy soldier from behind and killed him with one brutal stab in the neck. As the soldier fell to the ground his grip on his weapon tightened and he fired his M14 into the ground. Silenced, but a nearby group of his buddies heard. Tree hiding probably no longer viable. Have to act quick. He looked around, gathering his options. Tall grass. It'll work. Garth grabbed the branch and let his leg grip off. His feet touched the ground and he ran to a nearby patch of tall grass. He hid in the middle and stayed completely still. Three soldiers approached the corpse which lay under the tree. "David! Alright, you two, keep your ears ******** peeled. That sneaky s**t is still here somewhere."

Name: Alyssia C. Hammond
Focus of Training: Forward Observation and controlling aircraft as a combat controller. She is a tactical decision maker with a martial arts background, cautious and balanced type of person.
Appearance: Age: 24 Height/Weight 5’6” 155 lbs. Her hair teal but is naturally blond. Eyes: pale blue or silver. She has little angel wings tattooed on the back of her shoulder blades. And another tattoo of a corset down her spine. A smiley face is tattooed on her right wrist but is usually covered with a glove. Has been known to do more escort duties so know to fire with a skirt or dress on. Sometimes mistaken for a school girl.
Personality: Alyssia is very intelligent, she usually tries to go into things with an enthusiastic vigor and give a smile even when the world seems to go to hell. She usually laughs at any joke even if it is dry or is at the center of the joke telling; From time to time she gets into a philosophical mindset trying to figure her place in this world. She sometimes comes off condescending and arrogant but she would like to make as many friends as possible, she is very caring and considerate to the well being of her teams, and comes off as a motherly figure. Though she gets anxious sometimes she has a very easy going nature. Her favorite strategy game would have to be Starcraft a game created in 1998 with 3 different races played on a computer. When put into a situation in which she needs to adapt and change because plans don’t go her way she fits those needs or, she tries to find a way for her to self sacrifice for instance then let her team suffer. She will try to be an honor guard figure giving up her life in a simulation for the greater good then let her brothers and sisters in the squads suffer a fate worse than living in this world, living a second time except mindless. Likes: Booze and cigarettes!!! Smoking started at a very early age because of her father, though her favorite is Lucky 7 she gets by with anything. She likes sleep but doesn't get enough of it, and any new games that were found when scavenging in whatever operational situation she is in. she likes to barter for or steal sometimes. Alyssia likes to get the best deal out of anything and is a very entrepreneurial. She also likes the thrill of taking things that isn’t hers and has very quick fingers. Chocolate is her main vice give her chocolate and she will probably go to great lengths to get the job done. Dislikes: She dislikes people who are unintelligent or say really unintelligent things, which as likely as she is surrounded usually by very high priority contractors. She also dislikes sleeping in uncomfortable spaces.Fears:Being alone, trapped and then being backstabbed by her comrades, the fear of drowning in a pool of blood. She doesn’t mind the combat but she does mind being betrayed like her mother died, even in negative situations she tries to fight her fears and puts on a smile even when she doesn’t like it.

Belongings: Colt M1911 standard issue, gear and harness, Alyssia’s arsenal is completed with maintained FN FAL, primary weapon FN Scar-H, a USMC combat knife given to her by a former boyfriend. She also has a Leatherman multi-tool and small first aid kit, and camelback water holder. On her backpack is a smiley keychain. Depending on her orders, her load out varies.
History: Her mother was an alcoholic abuser and her father worked as a head of Robotics department called E-lusions, Alyssia originally lived with her mother and father until her father was kicked out of the house and her mother brought home a boyfriend to replace her father who was at the time too devoted to his research to be home anyways. One night her mother’s new boyfriend beat her mother until her mother was in critical condition this sent trauma through Alyssia , Her mother resorted then to drinking and she was eventually dropped by her mother and then picked up by her father. He stopped his research after some political problems in the science world and became her loving father despite him not being there for her many years before. She had the strength and comfort to move on and this is why she smiles and fights. In a command position she likes to trade insults with her team mates, but could be described as a loner, relying very little on outside help to accomplish her goals.
other: Her favorite color is Crimson for Blood, and she enjoys roses. She also has an extra sense for perception as in; situational awareness is what it could be called. Her weaknesses could be summed up I her bad anxiety when things don’t go one-hundred percent perfection for plans, or her over-thinking of relationships.
Nick name: The Black Fox

RP Sample: “Stand by on the count of 3…” “One, two..” Alyssia stared at her watch as the first sounds of bullets crashing through windows and taking out their intended targets excited her. This once again made her feel the rush of combat. She grinned as a thunderous boom exploded the side of the complex she was about to breach. Shards of concrete, glass and twisted metal smiled into the humid night. Alyssia took a deep breath and then ran for the breach, she watched as bullets started to make the familiar twang against metal or kicking up dirt. She dived and slid up against the concrete wall. A eighty ton tank roared past her position and with another loud boom shattered a house not too far down the street. Alyssia concentrated an felt a tap on her shoulder and a request in her headset. “Friendlies, we’re here to help Fox.” She took her FN Scar-H took another deep breath. She popped her head from her spot of cover to look into the breach itself two tables five combatants not taking advantage of their cover blazing away at our entrance with their Kalashnikovs or Type 56. She thought to herself and then loaded her grenade launcher, She quickly popped one into the room, With a quick thump the grenade eliminated the assailants. “You two clear left, I’ll take right, Fox 4 watch our six. “Roger that.” Alyssia opened up her mouth to say something when the other side of the street erupted into gunfire “s**t, suppress that other side, Marksman I need you to put fire into that house now!” She yelled into her mic as her team rushed to breach the room and clear it.

Quote:
Name: SSG John "GRIM" Mason

Focus of Training: the focus of John's training has always been superior marksmanship. every shot should count. he his also skilled in Close Quarters Combat, fond of his combat knife.

Appearance: age: 34, height: 6'2'' weight: 210lbs. John has blue eyes, short, dark brown hair, and a week's worth of unshaven stubble on his face. his tanned skin bears many scars of battles past. he is always well-prepared, wearing mostly BLACKHAWK tactical gear, mostly in desert camouflage. he also wears a shemagh, a gift from a friend in the Israeli Special forces.

Personality: John is stalwart and honorable, generally quiet and always dependable and responsible. he has no tolerance for disrespect, particularly towards women and superiors.

Belongings: Remington ACR 6.8mm(with AK conversion kit), 14.5'' bbl, Trijicon ACOG TA33R-H, AAC M4-2000 suppressor, Surefire light, 3-point sling, Tango Down vertical grip, Harris bipod. H&K Mk.23 with SureFire light/laser, KAC suppressor, Jericho 941(.45), his USMC Ka-bar Extreme combat knife, Gerber LMFII, and an assortment of other useful items that experience had taught him to never be without.

Other: has an uncanny awareness of everything around him, making him almost impossible to be caught unaware.

History: John grew up in a stable, loving middle-class family. his father worked hard and his mother schooled him, his three older Brothers and his little sister. he worked hard and maintained good grades, but instead of heading to collage, he passionately enlisted in the Marine Corps at age 18. he had always been fascinated with firearms and loved shoot and shot top of his battalion on the rifle and pistol ranges. he was recommended to Scout Sniper training multiple times but declined, feeling he could be of more use in his squad. he served as a Designated Marksman in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan. after Kosovo he was accepted into Marine Force Recon and was involved in numerous black ops throughout the following years, all over the world. after a year of retirement from the Corps, he couldn't stand being away from the fight, so he sought employment in the private sector as a contractor with the Black Templars.

RP Sample: the Iraqi air was sweltering, even given the HMMWV's protection from the direct baking sun. the air rushing in through the gunner's opening did little more than dry you out even more get more sand in your face than was already there.

"Sargent Mason," the young private had to almost shout over the wind and rumble of the vehicle's engine as it bounced along the stretch of dirt, third in the convoy. "you think we'll get lucky and see some real action?" he asked, chewing a thick wad of gum "I wanna get me some Hajjis, you know?" he patted the side of his M-16A2 and gave a wide grin.

John turned from watching the long dirt berms that lined the road and looked back at the young man from the front seat, his face obscured by his Revision Desert Locust goggles and shemagh. "Jenkins, lucky ones don't see any action." he said

the corporal driving laughed and spoke without looking at the other two "and the smart ones stay at home, right Sargent?" he smiled, having heard John say the same thing to a number of other greenhorns.

the private looked disappointed "aw, come on, guys! you really think-" he was cut short when a thunderous shockwave shook the vehicle and the lead HMMWV exploded in a massive fireball. the huge truck flipped on its nose and landed up-side-down, spewing black smoke from its aft section as its contents and tires burned furiously.

"Holy-!" the driver shouted as he swerved in unison with the second vehicle in the line to avoid the burning wreckage. the only difference between the two was that the other didn't stop and drove straight into the berm, as the driver was slumped against the wheel, full of shrapnel, the bleeding Marine in the passenger's seat cranking the wheel to the right.

the radio exploded with comm traffic "what t-" a burst of static "-ell just happene-?" more static "is anybody- RPG! RPG!!! look OU-" another crash of static, but there wouldn't be any more transmission from those Marines. the air was was now a thick din of Kalashnikov and M2 fire and RPG explosions.

"JENKINS! get on that gun!" John barked over the fray. the shocked boy complied, running solely on adrenaline and training and the huge machine gun's muzzle soon flashed, throwing .50 caliber projectiles in all directions. "Corporal, get us to those Marines! we're getting them out!" the driver pulled up to the second truck, getting cover on one side from the sand berm.

John kicked his door open and stood up on the frame. he used the roof as a rest and leveled his M14 DMR at the tangos on across the road, sighting through the Leopold scope and acquiring targets. he looked for RPGs first. control breath. sight. hold. fire. hit, center-mass. he repeated until the Marines combined fire had the enemy with their heads down.

Mason dropped down and sprinted to the number2 truck and flung the door open, helping the two men out of the back. he then moved to the front seat and dragged the bloodied Marine out onto his feet. he reached in with little hope and checked the driver's neck for a pulse, but there was nothing. he snatched the man's Dog Tags off of his neck and pocketed them. he lifted the other man up and across his shoulders and turned back to his own vehicle, his Beretta 92FS in hand.

John looked up just in time to see young Jenkins catch a 7.62mm in his neck. he screamed and fell back inside, clutching his gushing neck. the Sargent put the wounded in the back. and jumped back into his seat, banging twice on the door. the driver gunned the engine and the tires spun and caught, lurching them forward and around the still burning wreck, in which rounds were beginning to cook off in random directions.

they sped along, away from the now-scattering enemy. the Corpsman from the other Hummvee had his hands on a pressure bandage over Jenkins' neck wound when John turned to face the boy. he lifted his goggles and uncovered his face grabbing the Private's hand and gripping it tightly.

"well, Sargent," he coughed, expelling a little bit of blood "I guess. I'm not. smart. or lucky. huh?" he said between sharp inhalations, managing a weak smile that turned to a wince.

"no. no, you're not, kid. but there is another kind of Marine." the boy looked up at him. "the brave ones. you're one of the brave ones, kid."

the light faded from the boys eyes as he looked up at John and smiled. [:

Where'd you get these guys?

That's kind of how I feel in the RP right now. Everyone seems to have access to anything and seem to think their actions have no repercussions. Blowing up a truck, hijacking the US satellite, etc. And then there's the attitudes of everyone.

I do like what you said though about seeing how the 'diversity' will unfold during the mission. It's just a tad strange that everyone is so different but so the same. The profiles have everyone being a sharpshooting, master ninja and CQC. I understand that they may be well trained in those areas . . . but I don't think they hit the "Focus of Training" category well.

I agree on all counts. The one guy has access to UAVs and satellite imagery? I have already decided that Kyle is going to tell him at some point that the operation of such equipment is incredibly expensive and that it is on his own dime to use it because the Templars aren't willing to pay for the usage of it.

I hope that things improve quickly.

Either way, no matter who joins us, if any, there will need to be heavy modifications to most parts of their profiles. In fact, Carlos, I think that it will take the two of us simultaneously to weed out all of the inconsistencies.

One good thing though is this: All (barring one) of them are good when it comes to the actual writing part of it. It's just the actions and justification which are the problem...although that is just as if not more important.

Note: I'm basing my stuff of the rp not really their profiles, I'm much better at evaluating rping anyhow so It's better that way.

Trevor Greene [Lt-Schalton]

-The guy knows his s**t. He's a serviceman, or so he says. Regardless he's a delight to have around because he actually has a brain, a plus on a website that is filled with the mindless, our guild excluded.

Pvt. Jarekki "Ghost" Nocturne [Lieutenant Bumm]

- Put his balls in a vice and we might just have the makings of an rper, reminds me of York when he started.

Ezekial Erwitz [Partydude11]

-Interesting, but not templar material. He's the kind of guy that's decent and will stay decent his whole carrer on gaia.

Spc. Garth Rom [darthseb]

-Good so far, he's got half a brain. My only problem is that he's a little patronizing, he's in his chorus girl stage where he'll rp as characters that somehow know more than everyone else yet spout utter crap.

Alyssia C. Hammond [Chloe Sakuna]

-Caution, may spurt stupid all over your new suit.

SSG John "GRIM" Mason [GrimBrother IV]

-He's a bit timid and eager to please, a good quality in a beginner. With training he'd make a fine addition.

This is what I have so far, need to see more or reread some of their rp posts and profiles.

Lt-Schalton [SSG Trever Greene]
Has made a rather believable character and seems to stick to his skele quite well. I like this guy. They've taken a quite standard type of character (good ol' country boy who enlisted straight out of high school) that occurs frequently, but managed to bring in characteristics that give the character depth. Not too sure about having a Colonel in your pocket, but overall they seem to know how to balance their character pretty well.

Lieutenant Bumm [Pvt. Jarekki “Ghost” Nocturne]
Fills the overly young and cocky stereotype. MP liked how your character interacted with his. Kinda iffy with the player still though. Might be able to write, but hasn't gotten me to care about the character he created yet. Ghost doesn't feel like the creator put much thought into him other than "This sounds cool" and in a story I'd be hoping this guy was in a red shirt... Or green as they apparently wore in the G.I. Joe cartoon.

Partydude 11 [Ezekial Erwitz]
Oi! Why blowin’ things up in your first post? Not entirely sure what to think of them yet, however, blowing things up got my attention.

Chloe Sakuna [Alyssia C. Hammond]
Spawn, spawn, spawn. Might get better later on, but latest post wasn’t optimistic.

Why would she not want to join? This RP is exactly what we would be doing here?

She's RP'in because she likes us Ah guess. Plus she likes tae RP, an' th' only other place she dusts tha' character off is th' Bullet, an' wi' MOST o' us abandonin' it, she'd miss it wink
PostPosted: Sun Jul 18, 2010 10:35 pm


Then why not keep the dust off that character and join razz

She gets to stay with us, she won't miss us and she likes us and gets to be around us more!

It's a WIN, WIN, WIN situation!
