If you have room left, I might take part.

I've only done Medieval fantasy LARP with friends (no YOU'RE the nerd)

I haven't seen Aliens, but I know a bit about it.

I'm also in the process of moving my ass across the country, so the internet will become a low priority as of the 16th.

tl;dr Mind if I join?
Ofcourse, more than welcome to stick a sheet in! :)

Well, this is the first time I'm trying Forum RP, and I don't know much about Aliens, or weapons for that matter, so this should be interesting, here goes
Name:Erik Andersson

Age:22

Rank: Private

Appearance: 5'11", with recently shaved brown hair just starting to regrow, he is about 170 lbs, most of that in the legs. He has more than a few minor scars on his forearms, and a long scar stretching from his below his right shoulder to just above his hips. His nose has been broken at least once, and he seems to be in good physical condition, but with most of his strength in his legs. He has a poorly done tatoo of a hammer crossing a sickle on his left shoulder
Weapons:M41 pulse rifle(modified to accomodate a bayonet), M37 Shotgun, Knife, Incindeary+Frag Grenades,

Misc gear:
M10 body armor
Shiv(5" blade, handle wrapped in cloth, very sharp), he tries to keep this hidden, as it is non regulation
Shovel
basic medical gear(but no real medical experience)
2 Water bottles(1L each) steel
whetstone(for sharpening knives+the shiv)
Flashlight
3 Explosive charges
15m of climbing grade rope
3 MRE's
Ammunition

Personality:Quiet and reluctant to speak, generally keeps to himself until he gets excited, at which point he becomes loud, and energetic. Reluctant to speak up for himself most of the time, particularly when he is in new company. He likes to listen, but tries to avoid being asked to many questions, and becomes evasive when asked to much about his past

Back story:Grew up on an industrial world, born into poverty. Neither of his parents had much time for him, and he tried to work his way out of poverty by joining a gang, where he gained several of the smaller scars, he was semi-successful as a messanger, running drugs, weapons anything for the gangs higher ups. Eventually his gang was taken down by a larger gang, but he, being a minor, albeit somewhat useful member, was able to join in the larger gang, where he got his tatoo. His younger brother ended up joining up in the gang, as an enforcer. Eventually his gang "the reds" got involved in a turf war with another gang. In one battle his brother was killed, and he aquired the scar stretching down his back. He quit "the reds", and joined the marines to get offworld, unwilling to face either his parents or the gang he turned his back on. He went through basic, and this is his first mission, he has a fair bit of fighting experience, but has never had to stand in line when facing danger, usually choosing to get out of the line of fire, or just downright run away. he is carrying plenty of gear because he has no real idea what to expect, and because he is reluctant to give up anything, because it may become valuable later.
Postscript:I have revised this to make it more relevant/in universe, if anyone has any advice, feel free to let me know

I'm recommending you have a read of this here site:
http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

Do some research into the USCM and the equipment available to you and then have a quick change about of your sheets.

There's nothing "wrong" with your sheets as such, I just think you could both benefit with having a little more knowledge on the universe because it would add a lot to both of your sheets.

Thanks, but ya know what, just forget it.


Let someone more creative, deserving, and enthusiastic get in.
Hey, honestly I don't mind you putting a sheet in - this isn't me saying it's a shite sheet, just for your benefit, I was recommending stuff that would help build a charcter fitting of the universe.

Awaiting acceptance of character sheet X_X. Ahem, I'm assuming we have a techie on board. Should this mean that he owns the welding torch, not me?

Anyone can have a welding torch - it's a universal tool. I'll have read over all the current sheets and probably get one or two more accepted tomorrow - Don't start worrying until I put a deadline in for sheets! haha

Aaaah okay. Hmm... maybe I should chuck in a few other stuff as well then. Can we make minor edits once submitted and before accepted? The usefulness of having AVP2 :D

I know, but I realize this isn't for me.
Ah, fair enough! :)

You can make edits all you want until the RP starts. Just be aware that I'm far too lazy to copy and paste edited sheets into the accepted list every five minutes... :')
