[QUOTE="Tonguez, post: 2130524, member: 1125"] Thanks for the comments, they show a great grasp of character which promises to result in a geat game for us all! I will change to the [B]Breakfall[/B] speciality. Originally I had infact considered including Parachuting in Marcus' talents but noticed that no one had yet considered aircraft piloting in their selections so opted for it (because being a helicopter pilot is kewl:)). However you are correct that parachute (and the extension to Breakfall) is a better choice and fits more with the character. The Camo was intended to apply to Urban areas as well as wilderness and I thought this would fit in with his CSAR (Combat Search and Rescue) training. So for instance Marcus might be trying to extract hostages from a Factory/Hidden chemical weapon plant on the edge of a small city in Iraq (ie a built up area) or in his 'contract protection' roles he may have had to stand by in a hotel lobby and then suddenly 'disappear' when he spots a known suspect - that sort of thing... As to knowledge skills I had considered linguistic talent (to tie in with his looks like a local one) ie he knows basic phrases in many different languages in order to better help him blend in (however didn't want to trespass on [I]Jason Paquin[/I] multilingual specialty. The possibility of some knowledge of chemicals (ie Farm Supplies + SAS) also presents itself PS Did Festy Dog cc you about the oposible link between Carl and Marcus? (which I will include in Marcus' history) [/QUOTE]
