Devil's Brigade (Modern Military RP)

Terrific!

I'll write up an intro post for Zack tomorrow

Devil's Brigade (Modern Military RP)

Absolutely!

Can I ask if there's still any room left for me? I'm an 18 year old from the Netherlands who was interested in enlisting, but sadly my country decided to lay off most of the army so here I am. I'm not an expert on these matters (especially American military bussiness..) but I know enough to fit in the role of some lowly private or something? Either way if you are full it's no problem either, I'll just wait for the next of these type of RP's. :)

There are still four positions open, that I'm aware of (three, if you discount the 2nd In Command position) — and you're more than welcome to post a CS. Konrad has said before that he isn't expecting everyone to know every single thing about combat and the military, so you should probably be alright if you use google/wikipedia often to fact-check certain things. Trust me, I'm in your shoes: By no means an expert, but I've managed to play quite a few military characters pretty well using knowledge I found scattered around the internet.

In short, go ahead and write up a CS if you'd like to join us; Konrad will let you know what he thinks about it and if you need to tweak anything :)

We're still waiting on just a few more characters over on the OOC; anyone who expressed interest here and still wants to be in this (or new people seeing this now), get over there and get in on the action before it's too late!

I like Alex's CS! But it's ultimately Konrad's decision

Edited my CS to add a knife, sheath, and a holster for the pistol

I'm not 100% on the Rank (was unsure if, with his time served and experience, he would be a Corporal or Master Corporal) and the equipment, but.. Here it is!

Cpl Zackary Pelletier

Name: Zackary "Zack" Pelletier

Age: 27

Rank: Corporal

Appearance: Zack is slightly above average height, standing at 1.77 Meters (5'10"), with a relatively skinny build. He can handle his own and is reasonably strong; however, he knows that he wouldn't last long in an open fight-fight with many of the other soldiers in Devil's Brigade, and instead relies on agility and stamina. Zack's boyish good looks, angular features and chocolate-brown eyes meant he was quite popular at college. His light brown hair is cut to regulation length - something of a culture shock for Zack when he first enlisted, as he was used to having long brown strands of hair down to his eyes back before the Army.

Weaponry:
C14 Timberwolf
- Leupold Mark 4 16x40mm LR/T M1 Riflescope

SIG Sauer P226
- Surefire X300 LED mounted light

SOG Fixed Blade

Equipment:
-- CADPAT Arid Fatigues
-- 10x .338 Lapua Magnum Magazines
-- 5x 9x19 Parabellum Magazines
-- 4x Stun Grenades
-- Night vision goggles
-- P226 hip holster
-- SOG sheath

Bio: Zack was born and raised in Quebec City to French-Canadian parents, and grew up speaking both English and his native Québécois French. Zack is a charismatic people-person, and felt in his element growing up in the city. Though he was intelligent and scored at the top of his class in standardized testing, he maintained merely average grades throughout most of his high school career: A result of taking on the role of class clown, and habitually "losing" his homework. However, by Sophomore year of high school he shaped up, more or less, and graduated in the top ten of his class. He got accepted to the University of Montreal and earned a degree in Comparative Literature four years later. Despite the college degree and numerous job opportunities, Zack found himself anxious to see the world before settling down in a career. He chose to join the Canadian Army — initially for four years, but stayed on after completing a tour in Iraq in 2010.

In addition to his mother and father, who work as a lawyer and an engineer, respectively, Zack has a sister eight years his junior named Geneviève. Though his relationship with his parents has always been friendly yet distant, Zack and Gen were always quite close, and it was difficult for him to leave home — first for college, then the military. As for hobbies, Zack has always had a deep passion for literature (hence his college major) and the arts, and has been playing the fiddle for almost 20 years. He began at the behest of his parents to learn a 'cultured' instrument such as the violin, yet Zack soon rebelled and used that very instrument to play folk and American classic rock. Indeed, in his down-time he can be heard stringing out renditions of Dark Side or Led Zeppelin III.

Personality: Zack is quick to entertain, and always the first to crack a joke, but deep down lays a fundamental sense of maturity and compassion. He is, as some of his friends have noted, the last person anyone would imagine fighting in a war. Despite this, he seems to take it all in stride. Any death or hardship he's experienced while being deployed has been forced down and repressed, covered up with his trademark lighthearted disposition. In combat situations he quickly learned to shut the hell up, observe his surroundings and follow orders, maintaining a calm and rational demeanor most of the time - in quite a stark contrast to his personality back at Base.

I respect that. You played the game intelligently, subtly, and didn't brag every time you did a little thing right ;) All this game has ever been about was power, not any false causes we - or our characters - make up in our minds. The entire rationale for kidnapping Alexis was to stop the chain of command: she was a leader (perhaps not in politics, but in combat, surely), and in the event of Solterra's death she would be the one to rise up and rally the troops. Couldn't let that happen: I wanted it to end as bloodless as possible. Not because I hoped for Cole to become revered as some sort of prophet or messiah. Occupied fiefs are much more hostile when you've slaughtered half their population in the war.

That was it. Cole's entire rationale for.. Well.. Pretty much everything he did since the start of this game (and even the last game). It's been fun, guys!

Cale Tucker said 1. Solterra does not equal Cale.

On this we agree. OOC and IC should always be kept entirely separate.

Cale Tucker said 2. Lady Olga was plotting against Cole before the battle started.

Now, are you sure about that? I mean, I could be wrong; the only person who knows what that character's true intentions were is Sadko. However, I suppose there is no use in holding back any information now: it was always my intention to attack Solterra - ever since he insulted Olga at the summit. That wasn't the reason, mainly. A lot of it was simply to procure land for the western coalition - Attolia, Pelataria and House Bloodsun. The army was coming down to flank Solterra, Cale, not aid him. But then again, Sadko's true intentions remain unknown.

Interested.

So expect perhaps Led Zeppelin playing in the back of the LAV.

Yup, definitely interested.
