[QUOTE="Felix, post: 3637440, member: 3929"] Hey Folks. I'm writing character journals for the game I'm playing in, and I figured it wouldn't hurt to post them. The writing is very dry; my character is a low-ranking officer in the army attached to a unit of irregulars, and these are the reports he sends back to his superiors. Its narrative is a bit odd for me since I'm not telling a story, merely relating facts. I can assure you that the action in the game is every bit as exciting as the recounting of it is not, if you've doubts about the DM's style. Though he is a rat bastard through and through. [u][size=6]The Players[/size][/u] [b]Guard Leader Porter[/b], me. [indent]Half-orc Scout 3 Porter hails from the north of Firewatch where small communities routinely suffer orc raids from the wasteland. He is the product of one of those raids, and resents his father's kind. He responded by growing up admiring the lawful cut-and-dry militocracy of Firewatch, and was able to enlist as a scout. He has been enlisted for 3 years until a quirk of military law required that an officer lead every unit, this one happening to be the group of PCs.
