I can do a scout, I know I threw my hat in earlier as a Hacker and then faded it was because you had two riggers types posting interested and lets face it, with the right programs anyone can 'mook' his way as a hacker....even riggers 

My idea as a scout wont be so much sniper as he'll be a stealth expert with close combat (i.e. a throat slitter type)

I tried to do that one but DY, said - don't bring knife to gunfight
Still I'd vote for having one in team.

Oh...I hope that it had benn just missunderstanding. Mercenaries are not regular army. They benefit from the fact that there is lot of different "specialists" the units...better than some standard-equiped-uniformed-boyos-as-predictable-as-their-drill-instructor-is...

Reminds me Jerry Pournelles books...I had to open some boxes in basement and look for The Mercenary

I'd love to give a game like this a shot.

Concept: Julian Francis Germaine has been called 'Doc' ever since he was growing up on the NaN lands. His father was a retired 'runner and his mother was a Corporate Exec who'd retired after a major payday. Julian earned his nickname from his father because he wanted to take everything apart and see how it ran. Vehicles, Trids, radios and jsut about any other kind of mechanical or electronic device he came across, Julian tore it down and put it back together. It was only natural that he'd attend college and become an engineer. However, more unexpected was that he would join the military and successfully blend two disparate paths. On one hand, he excelled at the Demolition/EOD specialty, but he also managed to always be found in his down time at the motorpool, tinkering and fixing vehicles. When he had a chance, he even managed some time with the weaponsmiths, fixing broken weapons and coming up with new ways to use what they had.

He'd be the EOD and Tech specialist.

Thoughts?

Uncle Vabka is already filling the role of demolitions guy. I assume that bomb disposal falls under the purview of demolitions, but I could be wrong.

[TCArknight]

Ah, I missed that.

Being a "Good 'ol Country Boy", I could shift him to the Sniper role. 'Doc' would still fit as he would be a surgeon with his shots..

I'd like to be able to take the Veteran Mercenary quality, but I can't think of anything I'd like to sacrifice from his sheet, BP-wise. Would I be able to take it later with Karma?

yes,  this is one that makes particular sense in play.

EDIT: Oh, and I'd be down for some light RP and stuff in an IC thread, just to get the ball rolling.

Good idea!  I'm kinda waiting to have a few more, but that makes sense.  Ill do it right now.

Great! we need some more players

As previously said, the EOD role is filled.  Its enough of a side role that it wouldn't make sense to have two people on it.
Some one wanted to play a hacker but felt that the role was covered by the Rigger. I don't necessarily agree.  a straight up Information warfare type could be very useful.  A scout/sniper might work, but highlight scout, not sniper.  I know its counterintuitive, but AS this is PBP, I intend to de-emphasize combat.  But I want you to play something that you will enjoy playing.  So keep coming up with ideas, and eventually we will find one that works well for both of us.

Okay, finished updating my character. The suit is for special occassions, obviously.

[Loki]

I would like to apply. Fair warning it'll be my first play by post, but Ive been reading the ongoing threads so I think I'll do ok.

My concept is a pointman/sentry. His natural skill set (aside from combat stuff expected of a pointman) will be high perception with highly cybered senses. Also will have some intimidate and, if appropriate and useful contacts in other platoons or merc companies. He'll also have skillwire for operational flexibility.

I could only Agree. My rigger could handle quite secure communications, but I have no matrix offensive or info-mining abilities, Id be very happy to cooperate with hacker specialist...

Glad to see the IC "get to know me" thread is up. Quick thing - if we are going to start posting IC, I think we should know what ranks you have assigned to the currently rostered characters - it would have an effect on how the RP flows.

I am mage/medic here (it's about third time I am saying this)
but additional meds are always welcome - there will be less casualties

I'got Chief Warrant Officer 2, you may call me 'Sir', but I am usually reffered to as 'Chief'.

You MUST call him 'Sir', but can (if he doesn't bitch) call him chief.
Its a good point.  I'm on the way out the door to class, but I will get that all sorted out some time today.  Most (except one) of the finished characters already know there rank.

PS: just to make sure things haven't fallen through the cracks, IF you think you have a finished character but we have not discussed your contract and rank, shoot me a PM.
