Character's Race: Human

Character's Age: 25
Character's Description: 5'7,

Character's History: Andrew was born young; but grew up fast. he was regarded as an outcast as a child, and when a family outing was suggested, he was not invited. luckily. - The "family outing" was a setup. his entire family was slaughtered, leaving him as an only child. He looked around, and found a gang named "The Sacreed of Skull" - Religious fanatics whose entire goal was to take over the world. He hanged out with them a bit, but figured that they didn't have enough potential, but managed to learn a lot about propaganda, and other technics. - He was charismatic, and quickly joined a mafioso-esque gang which Andrew considered to have more potential. - He ranked his way up through whatever way he considered possible, not regarding the ethics. - the Leader of this mafia had an unexpected death, shocking all the members, but Andrew was elected leader soon after. This was not really enough, though, so he decided to take the biggest and the best in the group, and formed with them a society which entire purpose was to make profit, and continue making profit. - The lingo within the society, or "The Family" was to refer eachother as family members, no matter who it was. Andrew was the Uncle, and people below him were his nephews, sons or other relevant names. The Family became big, using tactics such as hits, drugs, selling guns, robbing stores and basically all other ways of making money were used to gain a big profit. - The Uncle was not happy. - he wanted a bigger profit, and decided the only way to do so was to expand, and become a dictatorship, commanded by him.

[Elfeater]

how long will it take to reload my gun individually?

[Aninimouse]

About two turns - So the Elementals can move four tiles in that amount of time.

[Aninimouse]

It's been a while since I asked the first time, and a bunch of you have joined since then so I'll say it again; Do any of you have Steam? (And haven't added me yet)

Whenever I'm online, I'm online on Steam too - So it tends to be an easier way to ask questions like this;

Fireiy: Aim at what? His Head? I'm guessing you don't mean his Torso because you said it yourself - You aren't going to miss that.

[Lillipad]

Ani?

The squad he leads is called the "Dragonflies". They are a heavy weapons squad utilizing rapid strike tactics, specializing in smash and grab operations. They have top line military grade equipment, although their 10-man APC does not match any known nation's design. They appear to prefer the use of the AGI H-series weapons, paticularly the H-32 Heavy Machine Gun and the H-55 Automatic Grenade Launcher. It is unknown where they acquired these weapons, though it is believed the squad started as an inner city gang and stole them from a military armory. The squad prides itself in absolute confidentiality of their employers
COMMENTS:
His squad might work well for black operations, but due to their inexperience it would be best not to start with something critical until they have proven themselves.

Kogan, I'm not saying the sheet isn't nice, or that you shouldn't keep it around for reference when writing flavor text later on, but there's an actual character sheet, and you should probably use it. It's a unique way of submitting a character, but it'll only hinder your start.

There also appears to be no history.

[Aninimouse]

The original sheet wasn't really that much of a problem, and I like it when people get a bit more creative with how they write out their character sheets. But Lillipad will be Lillipad.

However, there is one relatively major problem - and another thing I want to go over with you real quick.

Now first I want to mention that judging by the way you named the weapons, and the automatic grenade launcher you might have actually overshot the intended time period by a little. Everyone but the Dwarves are somewhere around WWII-Level, technology wise (With a number of obvious differences though, mostly due to things like magic, and airships) - the Dwarves are a bit harder to measure in those terms, because of how 'different' they are, but they're probably a little past that stage. To them, something like an automatic grenade launcher wouldn't be out of the question - But I'll elaborate on that in a minute.

Though even like Medieval (Another Forum Game that I've run for a long time.), there is that blatantly 'Modern' twist. So that bit isn't necessarily actually a problem - It's just something you might want to keep in mind.
I do really need to update the intro a bit, but it's hard stuff to summarize and it may not look it - Being just a random Forum RP(G) - but the setting is very thoroughly thought out. If I were to just put out enough information for it to be relatively useful it'd probably just scare people away because they'd think. "Oh god, do I have to read through all of this?" So normally when I do Forum Games like this, I leave out a lot of the story/setting related things for both that, and so that people don't feel too restricted with how they want to create their character.

Now the problem, would be Power. Now, starting off with an armoured, Military-Grade Vehicle is one thing but also starting out with powerful, military-grade weapons (Especially the automatic grenade launcher - Which as I started to explain earlier, would be extremely powerful when compared to the norm.) not only for yourself, but presumably for 3-10 others. (And that's not to mention those 3-10 others would be under your command to begin with.)
That's leagues above how anyone else would normally start.

[Kogan Loloklam]

Yea, I did overshoot the era a bit.

A bit of explination about big bad heavy weapons... They are crew served. A typical one needs 3 people to operate effectively, and they are damably heavy. So we're talking more like 1 per 3 people sort of stuff.

of course the destructive potential goes away with drops in technology. So no dropping buildings on top of people and whatnot I guess...

Well adjust their strength as nessessary, you've got the idea of the why. I'm looking for crew served sort of weapons with lots of collateral damage. I can't think off the top of my head what era came with what weapon, but whatever works with the base concept as presented in the history. I'll adjust my sheet as needed.

Edit: thinking in paticular of the fancy vehicle, but of anything else too, one thing to have it, another entirely for it to work. Not exactly a large supply of repair depots for equipment like that around, and shipping it back to the manufacturer is out of the question... Vehicle badly damaged in the last contract, very little of the rare ammo for the weapons... It's plausable I think.

[Aninimouse]

That is, normally what I'd do - You'd start out after or during the end of a particularly costly mission and not only is most of your stuff wrecked and supplies spent, but a good number of the squad was killed off. So essentially, it's
"Oh well, I guess we have to start from scratch."

Luckily for your character, I do tend to give characters that want to either lead a group, or start up their own faction/nation a better start than the regular Adventurer/Mercenary/Whatever, so it wouldn't be completely from scratch.

I just didn't want to set up your character, and then you start and suddenly: Why's all my stuff broken?!

And you don't have to change your character sheet for that if you don't want to, it's fine how it is.

[Kogan Loloklam]

Nope, I'm good with you breaking it. Just keep in mind that it's a squad, not a platoon or company. 20 people max. Probably using the APC as their resupply vehicle and transport, so probably less than 10. I'm thinking 7-8. That should make killing them off to a managable level easy too.

Gotta work hard to be effective again, for the glory of... the squad.

[Aninimouse]

Yes, for the glory of the squad.
Of course...

[Lillipad]

I have PMed you the official apology, I have no plans of editing the post to something silly, because I'm tired and lazy.

But Lillipad will be Lillipad.

Who is this Lillipad of whom you speak?!

[Doomblade187]

How many bullets did Varin take? I lost count around 5, but was just curious.

[Aninimouse]

Too many.

I didn't want you to die so early, so the bullets were all swerving around your chest and hitting everything else they could.
