He only posted three times and the rest is just us...
Nosighter I can only assume that you've got the wrong page, but if not then I am really worried that someone out there believes that we have small monsters fighting for the Navy Seals. You have until I choose to rewrite your character sheet if you wish to join.Nosighter said:Name: Taesed

Build:
It is not huge, within human range. As big as a large man. It walks on two bowed legs with a swinging, almost comic gait. It has two arms, longer than it's legs. The hands are almost human, five fingers and an opposable thumb. But from the wrists projected a sort of 'second hand', a claw that could be lowered to cover the back of the hand, or kept up out of the way. This claw has four hooked, steel-tipped blades.
It looks like there's a bearing halfway up his body, as if the top half of the torso was on a living lazy Susan, allowing the body to turn all the way around. The head is ugly, a slag heap of melted-looking, black pebbled skin. The entire creature looks like it had been formed out of still-cooling lava. Beneath the black, in the cracks and creases of his flesh, were lines of bright red.
Eye Color:
The eyes are startlingly beautiful. Pale blue, like a robin's egg, The entire eye was blue, with the iris a paler shade. The eyes don't see just shape and color. It sees infrared heat. Trails, like the ones your mouse cursor leaves on the computer screen. It allows the Howler to follow movement and direction more closely. It also sees through the outer layers of skin, showing faint outlines of organs. These were target-acquiring eyes.
Hair: None
Equipment:
It wears a series of loose belts around the torso, and each of these are filled with weapons- Something similar to a powered saw, what might be an automatic pistol, knives, small metallic boomerangs, capsules of poison gas and engineered virus, a gun that seemed loaded with darts- He was a walking arsenal.
Details:
Created to be the shock troops of the nearly omnipotent Crayak, Howlers are perfection of warriors. With their howl, shared memories, and physique, a single Howler is terrifying and can take on hundreds of people if need be. The howl is a combination of sounds made specifically to affect the complex, intelligent brains of sentient beings, and is devastating to those who hear it. Sentient creatures exposed to the howl will be crippled with paralysis and brain death, and at close range the howl can kill a human instantly.
Their extreme regenerative abilities allow them to quickly overcome even the worst physical damage. The Howlers share memories and operate as a partial hive-mind; individually autonomous, but sharing the experiences of any one Howler amongst all of them, so that every single one may become the best possible combatant. Even without the howl and with no weapons at all, Howlers are in the 6-7 foot range, weigh 500 lbs, regenerate limbs in seconds and have rows of retractable needle teeth with retractable knives on the back of their wrists. They would rip the Navy SEALs apart with their bare hands and hold back entire columns of troops singlehandedly. Howlers die by the hundreds and their enemies die by the millions.
However, the Howler mind is not some superpredator. They are playful. They want to have fun. They do not understand that the creatures they kill are "real". Each Howler is engineered to only live three years, dying before they grow up and pollute the memory pool. They are only kids, and war is a game to them.
Weapon Specialty:
Proficient with every weapon before encountered, due to the memory pool. Thousands of techniques unarmed as well as simple weapons such as axes and spears are kept in the memory pool to be accessed when the need arises. In addition are the use of firearms and advanced weapons used by other civilizations. Preferred weapons are the blight pistol, smart cutter, and omnidriver.
I have a issue with the needle gun, none have been made yet that actually work well. I don't mind your character having one however I don't expect it to be his primary weapon, more of a 'novelty' item that he has.Redryhno said:Namer. Jonah Crown
Nick: nothing in particular, prefers Jonah, but allows himself to be called whatever is needed at the time
Age: 31
Height:5'10"
Weight:168 lbs.
Body Type:lean, nothing really abnormal about him
Key Features: has a Caduceus tattooed in red ink along the length of his left arm, with the head of the staff and snakes ending on the top of his hand. normally has two unlit cigarettes attached to his head in some way, normally under a headband or the sort. only smokes when the job is done, even though he's been trying to quit for years.
Personality: gruff, though happy in a fight or when done patching someone up, refuses to kill unless absolutely necessary, prefers to incapacitate them in some way, normally by his somewhat self-designed poisons and tasers. He does better distracting in a firefight then actually shooting, though key targets he has no problem flanking and engaging. Copes with his small aversion to blood and the like by scolding his patients for letting themselves being shot,stabbed,etc. Enjoys making fun of the guys that stand and shoot as long as they aren't expecting him to clean them up afterwards, in which case he feels the need to remove them from the genepool.Has a master's in Organic Chemistry and his M.D. He conforms to his own interpretation of the Hypocratic oath, specifically "do no harm" is "kill as few as possible"
Preferred weapons:short-ranged(20 meters or so) needle pistol, each needle soaks in the clip until fired, which is filled with a fast-acting paralysis neuro-poison,(reminiscent of a nail gun, though much smaller, about the size of a stereotypical pistol) and a .357 magnum revolver with laser sights(the laser sight is actually one of the high-powered versions of a laser pointer, the kind that reaches up to a few miles up in the air, which is used to blind the enemy more often than it is fired)
Specialty:first-aid and medicine in general(both harmful and beneficial)
Equipment: always carries a standard issue med-pack with extra supplies and a few field surgery odds and ends. also carries at least four reloads for both his revolver and "Paraneedle" as he calls it.
You can have the wireless cameras, also the glasses that record. However your glasses get a bit to hi-tech for my liking, so I'm going to draw the line at your glasses having a hud screen on them. But you get all the other bits of tech you have stated.megasamus1 said:I haven't played a modern-age or military rpg in a long while, but I'd like to try it out.

Micro-computer attachment attached to belt for data storage [video capture from glasses/cameras, general data, audio recording] up to 250 GBs.
No the politics will be delt by myself, you will just deal with the stuff on the ground. What will change the politics and the future missions depending on some of the choices you make. I want you to pick a primary weapon, go on the internet and look for a gun that exist and give me its full name.Lil_Rimmy said:I am thinking of joining, but I just want to know, are we going to also be dealing with the politics etc. side of things?
Anyway, here's my sheet.
Full Name: Keal Rim
Nickname: Wombat (Only by his close friends, prefers Keal)
Age: 23
Height: 5'9
Weight: 80 kilos (sorry, I'm Australian. No idea of lbs Would it be like, 170? 175?)
Body Type: Skinny
Key features: Green eyes, brown hair, pale skin that has been sunburnt a lot (from the Australian sun)
Personality: Likes to talk a lot and be cheerful, because, as he says, why the hell not?
Preferred weapons: A assault rifle, preferably with under-slung grenade launcher and either his welding kit, some kind of heavy machine gun or any other heavy weapons (i.e. mortars, weapons that require setting up, cannons etc.) Basically anything that he can defend an area with, or in the case of his welding kit, repair an area with. His skill is defence after all.
Speciality: Defence, digging in, repair, basically, anything related to defending a position.
A bit about him: He was with the Australian army before moving to this Seal team and in the army he was "famous" for his defence skills, regularly holding positions with great skill and ease that others couldn't manage. He learnt best how to shore up cover, and how to set up a good defence line. He moved to the Seals team when they started asking for people to join this crack team, so Keal thought he could put his skills to good use.
EDIT: Whoops, forgot weapons. Fixing now.
EDIT2: Done.
You can have two revolvers and that little trick you do, but you need to have a primary weapon. No member of the SF uses a pistol as their main weapon because they don't have enough range. So pick a primary weapon, which will be your primary weapon.IceStar100 said:Full Name: Alex (No last name

Yes, the weapons you're choosing is just your preferred ones so I understand what type of fighter you are generally.Havegun said:When you've set the team and given the briefing, will there be time to adjust kits for the specifics of the mission and/or in coordination with the rest of the team? For instance, no reason in bringing NVG's for a daytime op or bringing a sniper-rifle for boarding a cargo ship.
Also, a few resources for those who haven't picked a primary weapon
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_individual_weapons_of_the_U.S._Armed_Forces (Pretty straight-forward)

If you want to use a nailgun then give me a name of a nailgun please and then re-send the character sheet with it changed.
Here's the sheet, the nailgun thing was just an afterthought because I was trying to remember why I said that, remembered where I had seen it was all. still have it though, just added the stuff.brunt32 said:Redryhno said:Namer. Jonah Crown
