No I'm not a fan either.

At the moment all I have is:

Name:
Age:
Gender: (not sex because that is completely different.)
Appearance: (Would perfer a written appearance over a picture)
Former Occupation(Were you military before you joined? Civilian Specialist? Civilian volunteer?)
Mode of Operation: (Standard Riflemen? Marksman? Covert Ops? What role are you playing in the squad. I will not allow there to be two covert ops, or two Muscle etc. If the role has been taken you are SOL)
History: (Atleast 2 paragraphs of what you did before entering the Nightmare Protocol)
Loadout: (What weapons are you bringing into the field?)

This format may change, but that's what I've got so far.

I'm also thinking of making the RP episodic. This means, each mission they go on, is one seperate section of the RP, with small rest periods between each mission. Or the potential of being rushed right into a new mission episode right out the gate from the last one. Still each mission will be a seperate entity from each other, so there is a real chance that loadout can change between those missions.
