Character Sheet:
Name: Dick Kickem
Bio: An alien who's suspiciously similar to a fictional human known as "Duke Nukem", besides his oversized alien legs.

Unlike the fictional human character, Dick Kickem is not really a womanizing type, and is respectful of women of all sentient lifeforms.

((This went a bit wrong.))
Turn arachnids into nuclear explosions by kicking them.
[4] You kick a bug. It works as well as expected. The Arachnid warrior doesn't budge much.
Throw both of my grenades at the bug that killed the medic, then go and get whatever medical supplies he had and use them.

[4] You throw a grenade at the medic. It kills him and cracks open the carapace of the bug trying to attack him. Then you rummage through the wreckage for supplies...
[5] And find a fully stocked first aid kit. You stop your bleeding and disinfect your wound.
>Spray and pray at the bugs.

[3] You pray as you spray. But your rounds clatter mostly harmlessly against thick carapaces. The few that penetrate only do superficial damage.
The sergeant is dead! This is Trump's chance; he'll use his natural leadership talents to take the place of the late leader, and command the platoon forward! Naturally, Trump will lead from the rear; the last leader just proved that leading from the front is a bad idea.
...If the sergeant didn't actually die yet, put a few bullets into him and maybe the bug hoisting him up, too. It's a mercykill, he had no chance. Then, if it's safe, loot whatever equipment indicates his rank, and wear it.
Name: Actual President Donald J. Trump
Bio: "Very handsome, just the best, a tremendous man with tremendous hands. He's great, amazing, a real tough guy who's going to win this war. And he will win, Trump always wins, he's a winner, and he's fighting just the worst people, I mean if you just look at them they're just the worst, it's horrible, they're unbelivable. Trump is much stronger, and smarter, and just better in every way, there's no way he can't win, believe me.
Health: Got a bug claw or something stuck in his shoulder. All his ribs are broken.
Status: Tremendous! And in handcuffs.
Kills: ...?

[1] You run up to your platoon sergeant and shoot at him. Everyone notices you. But you get the sergeant dead in the chest with your Morita. It gives him a hard jolt but the armor holds.
While held aloft by a bug, the sergeant points at you and screams at the troops to "arrest this man"... the loyal troopers dogpile you.

You drop down and land behind a nice sturdy rock. There are bugs everywhere. The bugs are eating troopers. Several troopers are missing limbs. There is a minor riot between misogynists and feminists. More troopers are landing in the chaos and mostly being eaten.
Set of the drop ship’s self destruct and run towards the other humans!
“This could not possibly go wrong!”
The drop pods don't have self-destructs, they are just pods with ablative coatings for atmospheric insertion. The dropships are little boxes that can carry a whole platoon. They have no fancy features, but you can sabotage one and make the whole platoon angry with you.
Take the sharp bits off of the impaled warrio-whatsit bug, upgrade armor.

[1] You attempt to wear the bug. But the wounded bug swallows you whole.
LAST TURN I WAS IN MENTIONED ME IN THREE DIFFERENT PLACES, NOT 100% SURE WHAT GOING ON
YOU MENTIONED HEAD BOUNCING ALONG, BUT THEN I GOT STABBED MORE IN DEATH ROLL AT END OF TURN?
BIT HARD TO POST CURRENT SHEET WHEN NOT SURE IF HEAD STILL ATTACHED
IF FAUST TACKLE BUG OFF ME AFTER IT STAB ME SECOND TIME, LIE STILL AND ATTEMPT TO STAUNCH BLEEDING BEFORE CRAWLING TO MEDIC
IF I ACTUALLY JUST A HEAD ROLLING DOWN HILL, TRY AND SCREAM CURSES AT BUGS AS I GO
[2] You turn into a bleeding head with extra stabs wounds. You bounce around the battlefield but you can't seem to die. You inflict harsh language upon men and bugs alike. Everyone's morale takes a hit.
Death rolls:
[2] The bug that the Duke kickem kicked impales Duke through the hole where his groin used to be. The claw goes through his body and internal organs and comes out the other side. Then the warrior bug carries Duke Kickem off to its nest to have his brains sucked out before they expire.
[1] The Medic that Goldstine fragged comes back to life. He seems to be saturated with opiates and stimulants. He snatches his medic bag back from Goldstine and grumpily patches himself up.
[5] Fuze is spared as his rounds somehow keep the bugs from advancing further.
[2] All of Trump's ribs fracture as a bunch of fat troopers sit on him. His hands are restrained behind his back and he is handcuffed.
[3] Oat huddles behind his rock as more troopers start dying around him. He also starts urinating where he stands.
Leodany is relatively safe by the ships. Although the ships are not safe from him.
[2] Jane's tender flesh comes apart nicely as the bug chews, swallows and devours them.
[5] Yoink's head doesn't die. It continues bouncing, gaining altitude and kinetic energy as it goes and its screams reach further and further.
Platoon situation:
[3] The sergeant's limbs get torn off. He screams. But he wiggles up to trump to slap and scream at him.
[5] Then the rest of the survivors form a perfect firing line and drive the bugs back.
Theater situation:
[2] The second wave is devoured, just like the first. Troopers are being eaten as soon as they land. Dropships are being shot out of the sky. Some warrior bugs are boarding the dropships and shredding infantrymen within the metal box.
