Name: Hilda J Gherkin PhD
Bio: Hilda's a tall and athletic blond human woman in her late twenties. Her young adult life and cheerleading career were ruined by the paranoid delusion that she was a male medieval minstrel called Janet questing for the Holy Grail, but she's totally over that now, and has spent the last couple of years since being let out finishing her Engineering doctorate and then training for the Commandos. Her favourite colour is red. Her favourite clothes are skin-tight. Her favourite wrenches are large.
Inventory: A large wrench
Skill: Improvised (Melee) Weaponry +1

Last edit: skill edit, since there is not another melee specialist in the group now after BullDog's edit.

Forgot to mention, there are five spots. Everything after that is on the waitlist.

Ranged combat has a slight difference, in that the defender cannot cause damage to the attacker unless he also has a ranged weapon, no matter how good his/her roll.

Why no GM waitlist? The GMs need to plan out their story arcs/episodes beforehand, otherwise the game will have an unnecessary pause every time it changes hands.

The story could have radically changed by the time they get to the front of the line with their arc... but I suppose that's better than having nothing ready. I'll take this post as your signup, then.

Name: Derm
Bio: A (Comparitively) young Dwarf Necromancer, former archaeologist and one of the last of his profession. Twisted by the forgotten book under the lost goblin kings tomb, Derm seeks to restore order to the world so he can upset it later. Nobody knows this bit and no one can afford to be picky in the resistance. He wears the black robes as usual for his profession, except a bit more practical, along with a small ritual dagger in case of emergency. His hair is brown-blond. His eyes are a startling shade of green.
Inventory: Tome of Eldritch lore, the book from which Derm learned his dark craft. Some of the pages are unavailable to him until he learns from the pages he has yet to read.
Skill: Necromancy +1
World based offa DF. DF has Necromancy. I like being magical. Logic!
[Remembers about sentai thing] ... Still doin it!

Well, obviously, but it still gives them extra time to prepare unless there's some last-update twist that changes everything. And yeah, I'm signing up. Exciting times.

I'd also be interested in a GM slot sometime in the future when my PC is dead and so is at least one of my other RTDs. Not too soon though please!

Wait, what happened to the whole colour-coded power-ranger style outfits? This all looks too serious-like for me.
I see 'crack commando squad', but I don't see any mention of their zany styles of dress! D:

Well this crazy commando team now has a possibly insane Dwarf Necromancer so theres the black ranger, I guess?
 
He's the guy who laughes at nature and causes thirty people to throw up when he does his routine, right?
 
Honestly at any second now I'm expecting a 'Hey you can't do that'.

Don't worry, this is going to be a lot less serious in practice. The backstory is just there to set up a background for it all.

Name: Baron James Ostal
Bio: A noble by life and trade, and a human one at that, James lead a somewhat interesting life. The assassinations, the endless games of intrigue and the appeasing of the Nazis. One false step, and you found yourself either in a gas chamber, or a noble-hating dwarf fortress. Unlike his colleagues however, he grew bored and disillusioned with it all, so he found other hobbies; robbing and smithing. He spent his time making swords, gears, keys, doors and the such during the day, and robbed homes and shops during the night. Of course, everyone in the neighbourhood knew that he was a terrible thief, but they let him do what he wanted, just to make him happy...Then he actually got better at it and soon he was forced to run out of town, since his friends got sick of his stealing.
Inventory: Thieves Kit/Skeleton Key (whichever is more balanced)
Skill: Gets a +1 to thieving and lockpicking
