Spoiler: John Boyd (click to show/hide)

Name: John Boyd
Gender: Male
Nationality: American
Age: 34
Height: 6'3
Weight: 186 lbs.
Blood Type: O-
Hair Color: Brown
Eye Color: Blue
Bio: John Boyd was not a soldier, like many of the other members of the Soldiers of Fortune Initiative, or a civilian who wanted adventure. Rather, he was a cop. Boyd, an eight-year veteran of the LAPD, was a Sergeant on the day-shift, and regularly worked SWAT. Boyd slipped into darkness, seeing the worst of humanity on a day-to-day basis, and took to drinking. He never really stopped, either, and, when his wife confronted him, he went into a drunken rage, hitting her and threatening his son, who was eight years old. When his wife tried to get away and call the police, he pulled out a handgun, threatening her with it. When the police finally arrived, one of the patrol officers who worked with Boyd managed to talk him down, and put him in cuffs.

Boyd was convicted for felony domestic violence, and resisting arrest, and sentenced to three years in prison. After serving his time, Boyd got out of the big house, and found that his life was in tatters. His wife had taken full custody of both of his children, and taken away his house. The LAPD had discharged him because of the conviction, and he was basically unemployable. Who would hire an ex-felon who didn't even have a college degree? For a year and a half, Boyd moved from homeless shelter to homeless shelter, until someone in the SOF heard of him. He was offered a job, and took it as a way out.

Skills:
Hand-to-hand: 20
Melee Weapons: 20
Handguns: 20
Submachine Guns: 44
Rifles/Shotguns: 95
Explosives: 20

Breaching: 95
Improvisation: 20
Intimidation: 20
Tactical Awareness: 30
Vehicles (Land): 30

Strength: 20
Smarts: 20
Speed: 34
Stealth: 10

Abilities:

Active Ability: Takedown (Boyd was a cop since right after he got out of high school, and one of the first things you learn in the academy is how to take down a suspect. When within 20 feet of an enemy, Boyd can charge at them and wrestle them to the ground, using a melee weapon or just his bare hands, without being shot. Cool-down, 2-4 turns.)

Passive Positive Ability: Breach and Clear (Boyd was kicking down doors for eight years, first serving warrants as a patrol cop, and then not-knocking on doors as a SWAT point man. He's seen every ambush in the book, and when he kicks down a door, he catches the owner on the draw. (When Boyd breaches into a room, he automatically gets the first shot off, before whoever is inside.)

Passive Negative Ability: Breacher (Boyd spent eight years training to fight in urban environments, and inside small rooms. He's one of the best there is at breaching, and close-combat, but he's terrible at long range fighting, a side-effect of spending all that time training for close combat.)

Personal Effects: Tactical Cap, ASP Baton, Whiskey Flask, Family Photo.

Alright, how's that look? My character's a felon, but I thought this company might employ felons, since they seem kinda shady. If that's not true, I'll change it.

[Dampe]

No, no, it looks good.
Only thing I might say is that the SOF Initiative is highly secret, so it'd be more likely that you'd be offered the job, rather than applying.
Other than that it looks great.

[Twinwolf]

Sheet incoming. Will be on this post, probably. Oh, also, might want to add the character sheet and skills to the OP (Original Post). And maybe ask a mod or something if this could be moved to the RTD sub-forum, since you described it as an RTD in the OP

Oh, I meant "Roll the Dice," not "Roll to Dodge."
And I'll move the character stuff to the OP when I get the chance, just finishing up my character sheet.

Spoiler: Application (click to show/hide)

Name: Adriana Slate

Gender: Female

Nationality: United States

Age: 20

Height: 5’6”

Weight: 123lbs

Blood Type: A+

Hair Color: Black

Eye Color: Hazel

Bio: Adriana was a pretty good kid. Good grades, good family, the works. Turns out, the perfection did not endear her to her less fortunate classmates. When she was 16, a fellow student walked into Adriana’s house, and shot them all. Adriana barely survived. Her parents weren’t so lucky.

Eventually, she became an assassin for a section of the CIA. She was a natural liar, disguise genius, sniper… if it was stealth and assassination, she could do it, and do it well. This drew the SOF’s interest...

Skills:

Weapons:

Sniper Rifle - 74

Handguns/Revolvers - 49

Explosives - 29

Operation

Disguise - 59

Espionage - 44

Charm - 44

Tactical Awareness - 30

Lockpicking - 10

Stats

Stealth - 69

Smarts - 44

Speed - 29

Strength - 19


Active Ability: Eagle Eye
Guarantees Adriana a 100% chance of scoring a headshot on an enemy. (Cooldown: 6-10 turns)

Passive Ability+: Marksmanship Training
Adriana's talents with sniper rifles ensure that her shots will never graze a target, and will either hit or miss outright.
(If Adriana rolls a graze in damage calculation, it is instead a body shot.)

Passive Ability-: Counter-Sniper
All enemy counter-sniper units recieve a 20% damage bonus during hit calculation against Adriana.

I think the stats add to 500?

Also, is there any level ups, or do stats remain as-is?

[Playergamer]

Question: We're going to operate as a team, right? Because if so, Boyd's probably going to look down on the other three for...ever, probably, although he'll probably warm up to them over time.

[Twinwolf]

I imagine he'll warm up to Ariana when she puts a bullet through the brain of the guy about to shoot him in the back from several hundred meters away.

[Dampe]

Here's my character sheet.
Oh, I nearly forgot! You guys have to pick your abilities.
There's an active ability (works on a cooldown), a positive passive ability and a negative passive ability. You can look at my sheet to help give you some ideas (I'll leave the creation of abilities up to you guys' discretion, I'll only veto something if it's vastly overpowered.) Alternatively, I can create the abilities for you, if you want. Anyways, here's the sheet.

Name: Damascus Steele
Gender: Male
Nationality: Syrian-American (Dual ctzn)
Age: 29
Height: 177.8cm (5'10")
Weight: 70.7kg (156lbs)
Blood Type: AB+
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Brown
Bio: Born in Virginia to an American father and a Syrian mother. Steele followed in his father's footsteps, becoming a CIA field operative in the Middle East. After three years of stellar service, Steele was shot in the left leg by a sniper and declared unfit for service. Intensive physical therapy has allowed Steele to regain use of his leg, but it still occasionally fails under stress. Five months after he left the Agency, Steele was approached by SOF, offering him a job as a field specialist. He served on six continents with SOF, carrying out both overt and covert operations before he was made the liaison for a newly formed SOF unit. Steele is fluent in nearly a dozen languages, and proficient in more.

Skills:
Hand-to-Hand: (25/99)
Melee Weapons: (45/99)
Handguns/Revolvers: (60/99)
Rifles/Shotguns: (80/99)

Communication: (50/99)
Linguistics: (75/99)
Strength: (25/99)
Speed: (38/99)
Smarts: (38/99)

Abilities:
Active Ability: Hammerpunch
Allows Steele to fire on the same enemy twice that turn, regardless of the results of the first shot.
(Cool-down time: 3-6 turns)

Passive Ability+: Supressing Fire
Even if Steele misses his target, his rounds have a 15% chance to force the enemy to take cover and remain inactive for the next turn.

Passive Ability-: War Wound
When performing a speed roll, if the roll is successful, roll again. If Steele rolls a 10 or below, he fails the roll.

[Twinwolf]

Maybe have a set of pre-defined abilities so we could either take from that list or use it as an example?

[Dampe]

That remains to be seen, Twinwolf. You will be able to purchase and customize weapons in between missions, and I might add in a "training" feature of some sort. The main advantages that our SOF team (and yes, we will be working as a team) has is that team members get more hit points than the average enemy, and in most cases, the enemy won't know we're coming.

[Dampe]

Alright, one abilities list coming up!

Other four, you mean. My character is the team's SOF liaison, so I'll be there to facilitate communication between the team and higher echelons of SOF.

[Playergamer]

Ah, other four then. As for abilities, I'm not so sure about what I put in. Most of my abilities need you to work out the exact numbers, since I don't know how the system works, but I think they're decent abilities. My active ability basically lets me take a single enemy down non-lethally in melee combat instantly, and I got the 20 feet figure from the 21 foot rule. My passive ability might be a bit overpowered, or not, or it might not even mean anything, since I don't know much about the system. My passive negative needs you to work on the numbers, but it should be fine.

[Dampe]

Works just fine.
Twinwolf, I worked out some abilities for Adriana, just let me know if you like them.
