Recruiting for Blood and Guts: Modern Military PbP (done recruiting for now)

First Post
So we'll probably be starting next week some time to wait for Ranger Rick.

My personal opinion about posting frequency is about 1-2 times a day during the week. No guarantees for weekends.

Intense interaction scenes sometimes go smoother in chat. I'm on Yahoo! at work and it's about the only IM that gets through. My Yahoo! ID is in my account profile, but if you're too lazy for that it is curtis_owings.

Watch my character post for changes. If we're not finished with characters until Monday, I may tweak a bit. I whipped through the training manual pretty fast. I won't do a complete rebuild or anything, but I'm on the bubble about Far Shot. So I might tweak a skill or feat.

Vig, be sure to give us a character lock down date so we'll know we shouldn't make a change after X.

I think the lockdown date for characters will be early next week, for Rick.

On equipment, I decided you guys can pick what you want, if there's anything I have a question about, I'll make a requisition check based on rank (which I'll determine when characters are done, so this is a bit of cart-horse situation).

You can automatically assume that the M-4/203 over under, 4 grenades of various types, a suit of medium armor and nightvision are in.

Chuck, what are we doing about armor? I've always been irked by the prerquisites for armor proficiencies. I burned a feat to get Armor Prof: Light, but it won't help at all with the medium armor as assigned by the Army.

Also, are we using the armor options found in the Combat Procedures Manual?

The equipment I stated above was just "gimmes" that you could put on your character with complete confidence it would be approved. If you only have light armor proficiency then you dont have to wear medium armor.

If by armor options you mean armor as DR? No I'd rather use AC.

OK, thanks.

There was some confusion about who was "in".

I hate phrasing it like that since no one is "out" but the current roster to the best of my knowledge is:

1. Shaman
2. Kingpaul
3. Masada
4. Bobitron
5. Ranger Rick
6. Uranium Dragon

This is the final roster for now.

Description:

6'2, 245 lbs, chocolate brown skin, deep brown hair. (Sgt. Ryan Whitaker from Final Fantasy movie - http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/movie/gallery/1108683/photo_06_hires.jpg)

Oliver David Green (OD Green or Odie) grew up watching the sun set through the legs of the St Louis Gateway Arch. East St. Louis, a severely depressed city, didn't produce many winners. But it did produce Odie.

Odie's father managed to get a job at the Dupont factory on the east side and worked his way up the ladder. His fortune trickled down to his children, his son Oliver and daughter April. Oliver was torn between those fortunes and the opportunities it gave him, a technical background in computer and electronics, and the ghettos that the burned-out buildings created. He grew up tough and mean, but smart. He knew where he was going, and it was out.

Once in the military, he was transferred to Fort Leonard Wood where he was assigned to the Combat Engineer company. He developed his passion for things electronic, added a few classes on demolitions and devices, and picked up a few phrases in Russian along the way.

Odie is usually all smiles. He has a good sense of humor, knows when to laugh at himself, but knows when to cut the funny stuff and get down to business. Making bombs not blow up in your face is a good thing. Doing it is better.

(As close to demo specialist as I can get him. Okay, could be better, but why. Oh,and I borrowed from someone for equipment, with some adjustment. Thanks.)

Vigilance, another question for you: should David be carrying a radio, a tool kit, or both? Which of these makes the most "sense" with the beginning of the scenario? Nevermind - changed character concepts altogether...

A couple more changes to my sheet- I took Med Armor Prof and upgraded to a Tactical Vest. Changed some equipment around a bit, as well. I think I'm ready to go.
