I like your Silent Snake guy. More on his history. Is he half? is that why his name is Robert? Or is he more than half, like 1/4 etc?

I like Nikki
She's different, with diplomatic skills, etc. Someone who could be the talker of the group would be good.

Thanks!
I didn't even think about the "half" angle. Since he was born in America, he has an American name. Heck, even Stormshadow's real name was Thomas "Tommy" Arashikage.
However, I think I will have his mother be Chinese. That'd help explain the language, and is similar to Quickkick, who was part Japanese and part Korean.
/me goes off to edit my PC's history.
EDIT: Silent Snake's history is now revised.

Your guy sounds really good! You might want to make him older though if he's special forces and especially if he's a pilot. A marine combat pilot has to go through 7 years of training at least to fly a plane or helicopter worth a few million.
I don't know what the rules are today, but for a navy pilot that I know, they had at least 4 years of flight school in addition to finishing an engineering degree. Your guy sounds like he went that route.

I always thought that was weird because I believed Stormshadow was pure Japanese. However, the episode which Krizzel has just reminded me that Snake Eyes and he (+ others) served in Vietnam would have to make him at least Japanese American and since he still has that weird pseudo accent, he probably was a recent immigrant and wasn't born in the US originally.

Ethnically, Stormshadow was pure Japanese. I assume his parents lived in the US when he was born. They talk of his Uncles running the clan in Japan, but not his father.
And yes, Tommy, Snake-Eyes, Stalker, and three others were on a LRRP patrol together in Vietnam. He'd at the least have to be a citizen.
My PC's folks lived in America when they had him, and thus "Robert." I haven't determined the exact connection between him and the rest of the clan. That's up to how much Krizzel wants to run with it.
EDIT: Also, I assume the accent you're referring to is from the cartoon, since they never made a "Book on Tape" version of the comic.
It's worth noting that the Snake-Eyes/Stormshadow connections were only in the comic. The cartoon version history of Stormshadow isn't necessarily the same as the comic version.

Yep I watched the cartoon because I didn't have access to the comics at the time. I do remember one episode though that had a mention of that. The cartoon has its bizzaro 80's moments and I much prefer the comic to it, but alas unfortunately most of what I remember is from that blasted cartoon! So you and Krizzel shall have to educate me on proper Joe history!

I watched the cartoon, but don't remember it as well as I do the comic.
As for education:
http://www.yojoe.com - the best all-around Joe site on the net.
http://www.starwars-rpg.net/swfa/jmm/joe/gihome.html - another good site for info on the comic.
