The floater thing is rp gold, yeah. Poor MEC troopers. If they don't have an iron-clad will and self confidence, that should provoke some serious soul searching.

Shouldn't be too hard really. Did a squishy part of the torso get shot, or a limb? Go from there. There doesn't seem to be a lot of full body cybernetic integration, just the connection points at the sockets.

Fresh out. I do have matchbooks for the low low price of only $100 apiece!

I'm having a sale on pitchforks just today, actually. Buy five at their discounted price of 50% off and I'll even throw in a barrel of tar and a bag of feathers!

For most soldiers, free unlimited booze would be the ultimate benefit.

Ouch, that sucks! I wish you a speedy recovery!

Looks like a kung fu master to me.

My dude's Asian, he can't grow either until he's 60+ or becomes a kung fu master.

Well it's possible he resigned his commission before going to the CIA. It is easier to get hired by a federal agency as a veteran. Alternately, the Special Activities Division in the CIA likes to borrow operators from the military for their covert operations.

It's pretty well written, but he rather runs into Gary Stu territory. He's too perfect, no flaws (none mentioned at least). Also, pet peeve of mine, you can't enlist but then get to the rank of captain normally. Enlisted ranks (private, sergeant, etc) are a different track than officer...

When Odd posts his video sometime this week.

Someone likes the Princess Bride.

Adrammalech gives very good advice regarding punctuation and grammar that I won't repeat, as well as tone. To me, it feels a little... disjointed. It seems like you decided on three major tropes and just threw them together as a history. Step 1) Childhood trauma. Step 2) War hero. Step 3)...

He actually wrote a character who has been persecuted through much of his life for an unusual last name. None of the other entries has anything like that, it's a pretty unique aspect.

Ordinary or not, you also wrote in reasonably good English, with line breaks, good spelling, and proper grammar. I think that kind of thing is underestimated. We're going to be doing a lot of writing if selected, and if your character entry is difficult to read or understand, who is going to...

Speaking both from personal experience, and from frequent reports, a psychopath isn't much an asset in the military either. Military operations are highly team oriented, and require high degrees of cooperation and trust. How many accounts from the last several wars state the writer was fighting...

Lot of people with PTSD, though. Maybe we should have had someone apply to be a therapist! We all know XCom will be needing one... or more.

There's not really an "officer trainer" position, though. Nor are any of the four classes considered "tech"-based. They all use guns. Psionics is only a sub-class, that can apply to any soldier, if they're (un)lucky enough. Any of them has RP potential. Ryan would probably love having Mimetic...

Oh! Right. From black to white back to black (Back in black! I hit the sack, it's been too long I'm glad to be back!). Herf derf.

Probably because it's locked, they won't allow edits.
