OOHH! MY! GAW! I read through the intro of this after expressing some interest before, had some laughs, some inspiration, some ideas, so on and so forth, then got near the end and saw 'this'

[quote]Sean Dowall, 28-year-old Irish joiner. Ex-British Army and a fan of a good weekend drink, Sean was the tactical leader of his friends. He knew the best pubs at the best times, the best bets at the bookies at any ground with any player, and he had zero filter. Sean was promoted from joiner to Human Liason to the CIR the next day. [/quote]

Now... it's not a 'perfect' comparison, but the similarities blew my mind... 'my' name is Sean [not Dowall though], I'm actually 28 years old [though by 2025 I'd be 37 XD], only half irish and no official military relation in 'my' generation, am also the tactical leader of my friends, with zero filter... Like I said, not 'exact', but holy shit the coincidental similarities blew my fucking mind! and to top it all off, I have actually spent time philosophizing about the position of a 'world' leader and what would be neccesary for anyone who was actually 'in' that position... considering the state of some 'factions' in our civilization these days I'd damn sure agree with Thv'ar, it can't be someone already holding direct affiliations with a specific group.

...

anyway! Off to finagle some race sheets together for presentation!

oh, on a side note... Being that we're doing all of this from the human angle, is this going to include the obvious bull-shit that would arise from certain political groups of 'today' gnashing their little harpy claws at alien society too? XD ... I mean, ya know, the ones that 'wouldn't' have had to be wiped out in one form or another in order to preserve 'not going around killing everyone'.
