To post or not to post, that is the question *holds up skull all Shakespeare like*
Alas poor Grace, I knew her HaFrankio. A girl of infinite jest and most excellent fancy.
@mattmanganon another big problem I have with this guy's history as per mention from another already accepted character. There is NO WAY that e could have done everything he did in the time from he graduated highschool to where he is now. Somethings will have to be removed and a lot will have to be changed. For a human, this guy is incredibly OP and at this rate I really don't want to accept this guy.
Yeah Imma pile on here. I don't like doing this in public but unless you came up with a bomb ass plot device using your character some things really need to be pulled back.
Pilot trained to fly high-speed Jet Fighters (Licensed to fly almost any military jet fighter) and has taken a beginners course in Personal Helicopter piloting (Is only licensed to fly civilian helicopters and with no more than 3 passengers).
The helicopter things doesn't bother me at all compared to the fighter pilot thing. So this dudes done five tours back to back in a war zone. A tour is normally between six months to four years, at a minimum he was in a war zone for two and half years, straight. Then he got into the SAS at 22, which is by my understanding pretty damn rare. I think most people that get in the SAS are around twenty-five. That's cool, I get it.
So then gets through the school in a year, which sounds odd to me I'd think it'd be at least on par with the Navy SEALs and/or Combat Controls at about two years but it's whatever, minor detail. Then, he gets deployed for a sixth time and this time he gets straight tutored for two months, seemingly nonstop. How the hell could he escape? Dudes been shot, stabbed, impaled and twenty other things more than likely.. A bigger question than the escape is, can he even taken dump? He got them adult diapers or something?
Even after all that, he goes straight into something else. Ain't anyone every tell him about that thing called a weekend? You sure homie ain't a damn Robocop? When did he recover? When did he do rehabilitation? He's been through some major shit for lack of a better, but he didn't need time to heal? I want whatever he's on.
What's his mental health like? Homie been in combat, killing fighting, and getting tortured for the last few years, now the governmental powers that be say 'Yeah dude that school with 18 to 24 year old? Yeah baby we need you there. We ain't worried about you getting that PTSD or flash backs and hurting them kids. While you're at it, go on and do some fighting with them.'
I can let all that go, thinking it was some crazy ass deal with Myphisto or some shit that let's hjm magically be only down one eye and all that jazz. Might be a really good plot device for later in.
So that lead me to the big question. When the hell did he have time to become a military fighter jet pilot? That's a 4 year degree, officer candidate school, and perfect health before you can even apply to the school, skipping all that it's like... Two and half years of training before you can be a pilot. Now aside from that fact, he's bit just a jet pilot, but he's crossed trained to most all of them. Yall seen the different cockpits of fighters? There is a shit ton going on and to my eyes, each one is different. I'm not up to speed on what's happening in the Royal Air Force, but either dude sold his soul to the devil or... I dunno I got nothing witty.
Nothing good comes in a hider from me.
@mattmanganon I think that would be better but when would he have been captured? There would have to have been sometime for him to recuperate and heal for at least one year, even then there would be emotional trauma that he would need to recover from which would have been another year at last if not longer
Well, a lot of our characters have some deep emotional trauma. *Looks at Raylan* Some of them don't really recover.
Someone please use cat nip on him Please Do the thing
Piss Raylan off, he'll do that in a heart best.

...maybe...
Huh, one confirmed, another possible. That's what? 2 out of three? 66% of the female characters. I'll take those odds. If this was the US government, I could do some work!
@Wintergrey oh yeah? Astrid got a thing for our bad boi?
Honestly it's surprising to me how popular Raylan seems to be with the female characters. Especially when you consider he's been there for so long and doesn't even know their names and has barely talked to anyone other than Frank for what? 12? 16 months? He really is a broken ass hat. Like all the other characters have some sort of positive trait that is clearly stated. Raylans just says there might be a small glimmer of hope somewhere. I'm gonna hate it for them when something bad happens to Raylan and he gets ten feet into a bottle and starts self destrcuitng.
@Ace of flames01 hey now, you stated this whole fiasco when you said all you wanted was a chance. Which led to Swiggity Swooty Sophie's Gonna Get Dat Booty. Which was a smash hit I might add. I'll have you know there was even talk of it being featured in the Sunday New York and
