Some men fight for king and country, some for honour and glory. Others fight for Life, liberty and family! Don't worry, We'll fight for all that too, and more. Just make sure the payment clears first....

"Hey kid, Had enough of fighting for king and country? Sick of being told what to do and who to kill, and hanging your butt out on the line every day just so some career-climbing general can reap the benefits of your hard work? Do you think you can measure up in the big leagues, and carve your name into the history books for all time? Well, bud, now's the time to put up or shut up, because not everyone is cut out for the rough and tumble life of today's mercenary! War's a dangerous business for the professional soldier, survival ain't as simple as coming out of the firefight alive!"

Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys & girls. Welcome to the Greenshields. A mercenary, frontline infantry battalion created during the end of the 3rd succession war and rose to prominence during the 4th war, proving itself in actions against the once crippled Cappelan confederation. During the period between the 4th war and Operation Revival the rising company found plenty of work in the periphery and made a small fortune fighting against the clans for the Federated Commonwealth after the initial clan invasion. After some solid expansion and a hiring blitz the battalion has now it's found steady work, at least for the time being with the DCMS fighting along it's new and unwelcome border with clan Novacat.

That is where you come in. Whatever backgrounds you came from, whatever your reasons for joining the Greenshields, they are your own. The important thing is, you've left your old lives behind and took up the mercenary banner. It's a life of high risk and higher rewards, but if you keep your wits about you, your head on a swivel and shove a lucky horseshoe up your ass, you might just survive long enough to collect that monthly pay-cheque.

OOC: Please post or PM your sheet here for approval before putting it in the characters tab.

If you want to join there are still openings available. i'm looking for about one squad's worth of people, maybe two full squads if this really kicks off.

And of course if you have any questions please fire away.

This is a link to the official BattleTech wiki. It really is a fantastic source, highly accurate and has nearly every scrap of data on this setting you could hope for.

I actually had a fun time coming up with standard issue kit that characters would be issued, in case anyone was going to be asking about that. Because we are playing mercenaries and not members of a national military there is a little leeway with certain areas of the kit to personalize, like the sidearm.

Of course if you really want to add something personal to your kit you can always ask or post in in your sheet for review. The worst I can say is no

Cool, I'm just looking for a definitive headcount of whose is interested and who isn't. So if anyone plans to post a sheet, but are still working on it or waiting for some free time to do so, please let me know

Giving this a small bump, We are still looking for players. A full squad is seven people and right now we have three interested parties. So still some room.

haha, ya maybe. I was always intending to just play the other members of the squad as NPCs/extra hands and bodies for the PCs. So I can always fall back on that.

I knew when I made the interest check that this was going to be a tougher sell than a traditional BattleTech rp. But playing as mech pilots has been done to death and I want to try something different.

So, as I mentioned in the interest check thread, I don't really have much knowledge in the Battletech universe but hopefully this character works out. I spent sometime reading the fan wiki to fill in some blanks too.

@WXer It looks pretty good. I'm wondering what you mean by 'munitions he deems appropriate'. Are you talking about any special assignment equipment? or....

What I had specifically in mind was the variety of grenades listed in this wiki page. Other than that, maybe some other explosives like remote detonated or motion sensor mines.

I see, so were you wanting to take a grenade launcher? or just a bandolier of grenades?
