[Aigre Excalibur]

December 7 2014. A day that will live in infamy. The "peaceful" peoples of Earth were suddenly and deliberately attacked by alien forces Enemies Unknown.

Revolutionaries blame established governments working in league with the New World Order for their inaction and unpreparedness. Revolutionaries point their fingers at the wholesale poisoning of the minds and bodies of the masses that has made way for our current weakness. It is time for the Vigilant Citizen to take matters into his own hands, and show puppets and puppeteers alike, that Humanity is Free!

The Alien Removal Militia (also known as the Antagonistic Riotous Mob to public officials) was established on this day of the 10th of December by brave volunteers of every nation, race and creed to fight for the future and freedom of all.

As a volunteer of the Alien Removal Militia, you receive this form at initial processing:

Equipment to come later.  I'll probably have a lot of several questions about exact prices mechanics:
Are we going to be buying stuff in-game, like how ER does things?
How would the various gun accessories alter the game mechanics?  Would certain optics alter the range bonuses/penalties?
Do 'more expensive 21st century' guns have better stats mechanically, or would they purely be different based on 'soft' mechanics like caliber?
How much would subsonic ammo cost?  I'm almost certainly going to have something suppressed.
Can we please have details on the setting, like what organization we're a part of?  I have this disturbing feeling that we're actually just an angry mob at the moment.

Hold on to your butts, I'll remake this in the RTD forums. You can remake characters there. Most likely I'll do away with encumbrance.

Name: Pvt Yegor Smirnov
Age: 32 ((Well... The current year was never specified. ))
Gender: Male
Nationality: Ex-Soviet
Bio/Appearance, etc.: Yegor is a grim and fatalistic young man. Born and having served in Soviet Union, he could never quite come to terms with its dissolution. But now, with the danger of alien invasion threatening the whole Earth, he rallied to the call, hoping to finally find peace of the mind - or, if needed, peace of the grave. "Nobody but us" as they say in the Air-Borne Corps.

Could everyone before Nikitian resubmit their characters, bearing in mind that I've removed encumbrance limitations.

((Strength will still affect combat performance in *ways*. But add it if it suits your character.))

The cost of your 1911A side-arm and Taser will be absorbed by the company for about $2000. Those vendors charge a pretty hefty markup. But they assure you that it's quality equipment.
The 13 assorted medical items will be absorbed by the new medic fund, which you're in charge of for now, for $130. The medical items will all be squished into a medic pouch for you, free of charge. The medic pouch will take up 2 slot spaces on your rigging or belt carriers.

4 Magazines will be charged to you at a $50 x 4. Plus 32 rounds of standard ammunition costing $64.

Also, $500 for the reflex optical sights.

The Taser comes with a free battery. With power and detachable wires good for two shots.

Totals are
$764 billed to your personal wallet
$130 billed to the Medic Fund.
$2000 Billed to the company

The vendor tries to push some slightly more expensive FMJ rounds on you, boasting about its cover-piercing capabilities.

(GM note: *cough* collateral damage *cough*)

((Hmm.  I get the feeling this guy's not gonna last long...))
After performing a long-distance cat seance by phone, Solomon requests the following items from the vendor:

Assault shield

The vendor tries to sell you a sturdy one-handed arming sword that looks like this to go with your assault shield. It weighs 1kg.

If you prefer a real longsword, he offers this:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

The leverage and reach is greater. It weighs 2kg.

The Assault Shield and Longsword cost $2000 and $1000 (regardless of which sword). Both are non-standard items.

Would you like some smoke and flash grenades with those items to help you close the distance? Just don't throw them on yourself.

The vendor also offers to pad your combat fatigues with more cloth to turn it into a Gambeson and sell you a suit of chainmail for $500.

[Nunzillor]

Solomon nods excitedly at the man's suggestions, accepting the arming sword, gambeson and chainmail, and an assortment of smoke and flash grenades.

He asks if any of the aliens ever engage in epic sword duels.
