Sure, go ahead dude- we are always looking for people, and of course, we need privates (lol, that pun). Grab whatever you want- I think 2IC is for anyone, along with a few other roles- Designated Marksman, one of the Automatic Riflemen, and the Corpsman have been all taken- but all the other roles are still open.

Alright, I'm making my CS asap after school!

[Partisan]

Can I ask for help, please? I'm not sure if what I did is correct and I'd hate to make a fool of myself here by showing you I know nothing of American military bussiness. :p

Name: Pvt. Nathaniel Charles Jennison.

- Standard M9 Beretta.
- SMAW rocket launcher.
- KA-BAR Mk. 2 knife.

Bio: Nathaniel was born in Alaska, but moved to a small town in Texas later for job reasons for his father. His father had found a civilian position in the army and his mother was raising the kids, namely Nathaniel and his smaller brother. The father was mainly driving stuff around in big army trucks, however it paid for their monthly expenses at the very least and sometimes a bit extra. Naturally Nathaniel found a lot of military kids in the school he was in because of the close proximity to the base they were stationed at. Nathaniel was good at all kinds of stuff in school but excelled the most in physics.

The years went by slowly and when Nathaniel finally graduated he had a few options. First, he could work at a civilian position as well, which could easily be arranged for him by his father. Second, he could take a loan and go to college and hope to earn back the money within ten years. Third, he could enlist in the marines corps and serve to protect those who can't protect themselves. Nathaniel had to choose and he chose to enlist, because the prospects of getting a good job after graduating college weren't so good for him. So he enlisted and went to BASIC, then went on to receive some small scale special training for AT weapons such as the SMAW. His curriculum wasn't too impressive as he had only recently joined, but he hopes to make up for that in usefulness.

Personality: On one hand, Nathaniel can be certain, steadfast and straight forward. On the other hand, he can also be unsure of himself, of others and stay silent to let others do the talking. He's a smart enough guy to realize to keep his mouth shut about stuff he doesn't know shit about, but is known to mess up this rule from time to time due to emotions or stress. Nathaniel is a good follower - he listens to orders and gets the job done, but as he is relatively new to this all he still has to get used to some stuff. He's honest, at the very least, and can make a good companion for those long walks in the sand or that boring lookout job you've been given but that's about all there is to him - he's just a regular Joe.

And also in. About to re-arrange teh Sit Rep screen, to form up the squads.

[Partisan]

If I have some original idea for him I'll make his bio/personality better, but I like to have my characters be underdogs/below average in their skills and stuff, and it's hard to come up with backstories to that that make sense. Hope that's no problem? I'll keep thinking about his backstory for now. Just wanted to post so you knew I was serious about joining :)

[Partisan]

Bump?

[FourtyTwo]

IC up tomorrow, I hope- I'll arrange it so all the structures work. Everyone still in?

[Partisan]

Yes sir.

[FortunesFaded]

Absolutely!

[Eisenhorn]

Certainly

[FourtyTwo]

IC's up! Not my standard length of IC post, but it's a start!

[Partisan]

Better than no IC :). I think it was actually quite good and long enough. Opening posts are always hard.

[FortunesFaded]

Terrific!

I'll write up an intro post for Zack tomorrow

[Partisan]

I like where this is headed so far.

[FortunesFaded]

*knock knock*

Anyone home?

[Partisan]

I know I am.

[FourtyTwo]

I am- though it seems like it's just us three at the moment. Damn, ah well. I'll post up soon, to keep contingency- we need to recruit.
