Mind adjusting Jesse's weight closer to average?
(Overweight characters, both players and NPCs will suffer in speed rolls depending on how far they are above the maximum average weight for someone their gender and height. This is to balance out the fact that weight also determines how much equipment you can carry.)
Other than that, looks okay.

Well, skills-wise, that is.

What's her backstory?
35 seems a little past one's prime to be that sort of death-dealing machine.
And from the ability "literal psychopath," I'm guessing she might be a bit crazy, and while SOF hires shady characters, it's not the sort of organization that would give someone with a mental disorder (and who, from the looks of it, doesn't play well with others) access to military-grade weapons.
You can keep the skills, but would you mind changing Jesse's character a bit?

I'll take that into consideration, and I'll be honest, I was just guessing most of that stuff, I'm a clueless person who doesn't know how much someone weighs.
And I may have gotten SOF's character a bit wrong, I'll change that to "Figurative Psychopath".

It isn't so much the age as it is the weight.
Average 5'7" woman should weigh 130-140lbs.

Yeah sure.

[Twinwolf]

I've added 20 pounds to my character, by the way.

EDITED

[Dampe]

Alright, gentlemen, tomorrow it begins.
IC thread will be up tomorrow after I re-write the briefing to include your characters.

[Dampe]

PTW. Still taking players?

On second thought, six seems a bit large for a team like this, but we may need another player at another date.
Sorry!

Abilities:
Active Ability: Strongwoman
Winter can occasionally lift and move something 5x her weight.

Passive Ability+: Break It Down
Winter can take anything apart without needing tools. The larger and more complex the object, the longer it takes.

Passive Ability-: No One Left Behind
If Winter is able to rescue or treat a nearby wounded comrade, as long as it doesn't put herself in unreasonable danger where death is objectively certain (jumping out of a plane without a parachute, diving into flames, so on), she must help that person before she allows herself to retreat.

I could stand to come up with some better abilities I think.

Alrighty then.

[Egan_BW]

Ehh I changed it again:

Spoiler: New Abilities (click to show/hide)

Abilities:
Active Ability: Bottled Greased Lightning
When used, Jesse moves 20 Meters farther then normal and does it before anyone can react.
(Cooldown 4-6 Turns)

Passive Ability+: Bloodthirst
Jesse feels less pain after each kill.

Passive Ability-: Uncanny
Others get -25 to rolls to assist Jesse. (stuff like Healing or shooting the person behind you.)

Spoiler: Old Abilities (click to show/hide)

Active Ability: Politely Die
Jesse can move up to 10 feet instantly to an enemy soldier and gets an automatic headshot(/Critical Hit?) with any melee weapon or shotgun.
Cooldown 4-10 Turns

Passive Ability+: Lucky devil
While Sprinting, any attacks against Jesse that would Graze instead misses.

Passive Ability-: Figurative Psycopath
Others get -25 to rolls to assist Jesse. (stuff like Healing or shooting the person behind you.)

Sorry for my indecisiveness, could you see if these are fine?

[Dampe]

Seems good, but I would keep Politely Die and Lucky Devil since they're going to be more useful. Also, maybe reduce the penalty on Uncanny to 5. (25 is a bit excessive, trust me.)

[Dampe]

Also, still going to need Jesse's bio before we can start.

What qualifies as Heavy Weapons besides mounted weapons? I'm considering having my passive being a "Rookie" to be Fakhr's gunner (sharing Fakhr's Speed and Vehicles) in case such a thing is allowed since it occurred to me that there are many vehicles (gunships, transport helicopters, two-seat fighters, tanks and so on) need a dedicated gunner and we lack people with a high Heavy Weapons skill.

Heavy Weapons includes heavy machine guns, rocket/grenade launchers, flamethrowers, and that sort of thing.

Sorry, I gotta veto the rookie ability, since it'd mean a sixth member of the team, and it's tough to see more than five characters pulling stuff like this off. Too many cooks in the kitchen, you know? Mounted weapons may be out, but when firing a weapon from a car (say, a pistol for instance), characters use the relevant skill for a roll rather than heavy weapons, so we wouldn't be completely boned.

[Caellath]

Understood. I might just replace handguns/revolvers with something better for a drive-by.

What do you think of the Abilities?

[Dampe]

They look good, once Egan finishes his character sheet we should be able to get this party started.
