Eric Sapp was born in 1992 at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Brighton, a borough of Boston, MA. His father was a professor of aeronautical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, MA. Eric had a fairly easy upbringing, scoring high marks in class and excelling in athletics. He was a Star Wide Receiver for his High School. His discipline in school and teamwork on the football field, gave him a recommendation to the US Air Force Academy at Colorado Springs, CO in 2010.

Even though the Klinat Union interrupted the landscape of all of earth's infrastructure and its military, Eric completed his education, graduating from the USAF Academy in 2014. He attended Pilot's school as an Ensign. By this time, all the nation's Air Forces and Armies of the planet adopted the naval ranks to maintain uniformity.

In 2016, Eric married his high school sweetheart, Carla Knight. Initially, Carla followed Eric to his duty stations. In 2017, she gave birth to Eric Sapp, Junior and two years later in 2019, Carla gave birth to Clarice Sapp. After the birth of their second child, Carla agreed to return to Boston and lived with her family in Brighton.

At the age of 25, Eric was given command of a Squadron of F-22s and a promotion to Lieutenant. Five years later he was promoted to Lieutenant Commander and given command of a Strike Group in the United Nation's 5th Strike Wing. The Squadrons, Groups and Wings also transitioned out of the now obsolete F-22 and given strike fighters which could attain extremely fast rates of speed while traveling in outer space. The Klinat Union shared technology was unbelievable. Eric Sapp felt right at home in the cockpit of this new strike fighter.

At the age of 35, Eric Sapp was promoted to Commander, the normal progression rate for officers of the United Nations Forces. Fast track is only four years from Lieutenant to Lieutenant Commander and four years from Lieutenant Commander to Commander.

Background: Nick has studied Martial Arts since he was five years old. At age 12 he received his first black belt in Chinese kempo karate.

He received this status just prior to the Dominion War.

Gunther's Cast of Hooligans

Appearance: Tony Collins is an impressive looking man at 6' 4" tall and weighing just under 250 Lbs. His body is sculpted to perfection from more than 30 years of body building and weightlifting. He is of African descent with dark skin and has taken to wearing a goatee since the dragons showed up and the formality of an army went away. Tony wears black combat boots, black combat trousers a Black bullet proof vest, elbow and knee pads and a black Patrol cap that is normally worn backwards. He also wears black weight lifting gloves.

Name: Anthony "Tony" Collins
Age: 50
Nationality: British
Birth Place: Matlock, UK
Affiliation: Dragon Slayers
Profession: Soldier
Personality: Quiet, disciplined and focused. He can be jovial at times.
Biography: Tony grew up in Matlock, the county seat of Derbyshire in central England. Tony had a difficult time as a young man, getting into fights often and in trouble with the law. He lost his father at the age of 10 and his mother had a difficult time raising the unruly youth. As a teen, Tony was a bad egg and had a dark cloud hanging over his head.

Tony joined the British Army right out of High School. The Military corrected his attitude and he was able to channel his energies in other ways. He got into body-building and excelled physically, tactically, technically and academically in many ways in the military.

Tony served as an Infantryman with 2nd Battalion, The Parachute Regiment (2nd Paras) at Colchester Garrison from 1988 to 1991. At the conclusion of this assignment, Tony then went to 1st Paras Training Battalion as a Lance Corporal. He assisted instructors at the Parachute training school until he was promoted to Corporal in 1994.

After six years in the Army, Tony felt comfortable as a soldier and knew this would be his career. He then applied for and was accepted into Special Air Services Selection. SAS selection lasted 19 weeks; Tony would agree that this experience was the toughest of his life and would prepare him for what was yet to come going toe to toe with a dragon. Never in his wildest imagination would he have ever expected to be in Northern England fighting dragons.

He spent six years in SAS with Air Troop, B Squadron, 22 SAS Regiment and saw many covert operations around the globe and at home in the interest of the crown. In 2000, Tony was promoted to Sergeant and given his own SAS Team to command. When the British got involved with the American's Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003), Tony's SAS team was dropped near Basrah prior to the Allied forces crossing the Kuwaiti-Iraqi border and conducted Long Range reconnaissance and Surveillance activities on Iraqi Army units in the area.

In late 2003, Tony was promoted to Colour Sergeant and left the SAS temporarily, returning to 3rd Para where he served as a Platoon Sergeant. The unit had recently recovered back from Iraq when Tony joined them at Colchester Garrison. In 2006, the 3rd Paras were deployed to Helmond Province, Afghanistan. Colour Sergeant Collins saw extensive fighting with the Taliban in July and August of that year. The fighting continued throughout the deployment, but nothing was as fierce as those first two months. Two years later, the unit recovered back to Colchester where Tony found a promotion to Warrant Officer 2. This promotion elevated him to Company Sergeant Major of No. 1 Company, 3rd Parachute Battalion.
After 20 years in the Army; either in the SAS or the Paras, Tony was content with his life. When he wasn't training with his unit, he was lifting weights. Keeping his body in top shape is extremely important to Warrant Officer Collins.

Once the dragons were uncovered, life for the nation, the world and for Tony Collins changed. Tony saw most of his "brothers" perish under the fire, claw and might of the awesome beasts we came to know as dragons. The next ten years, saw Tony fight with various underground groups in a futile effort to suppress the dragons. Tony claims to have killed no fewer than 25 dragons including three that he dropped single-handed. His body is marred by scars from the beast's armored skin or claws. Tony counts his blessings for still being alive.

Other: Tony's favorite weapon to use against the dragons is the AA-12 Auto Assault Shotgun which fires a 12-gauge round and uses a 32-round drum magazine. The weapon can fire semi or full auto at a 300 rounds per minute rate of fire. The Frag-12 is the most effective round used against the dragons in Tony's opinion. This is a High Explosive Anti-Personnel (HEAP) round which perform like a miniature hand grenade. Tony alternates his drums with HEAP and Buckshot. Tony also carries a Sig Sauer P229 chambered in .357.

Gunther's Cast of Hooligans

Appearance: Jacob stands 5' 10" tall (178 cm) and weighs about 174 lbs (79 Kg). He has long unkempt brown hair and blue eyes. His beard is scruffy and symmetrical patches of gray hair have sprouted on this chin. Jacob is in fairly decent shape; slender and his hands are calloused from work.

Name: Jacob Carpenter (nick: Jake)
Age: 35
Nationality: United Kingdom
Birth Place: Bellingham, England
Affiliation:
Profession: Construction (Carpentry, Masonry & Plumbing)
Personality: Jake is a quiet pensive man. He is confident and knows himself well. He can be prone to outbursts when provoked or exhausted.
Biography: Jake was born in North West Northumbria in the village of Bellingham. He attended local schools in or near Bellingham and graduated from the Queen Elizabeth High School in Hexham. After graduation in 2003, Jake joined the Royal Marines and spent four years in uniform as a member of 45 Commando.

In the four years, Jake was with the Royal Marines he traveled to Northern Ireland, the United States, Norway and to Afghanistan. In January 2004 his unit deployed to Northern Ireland for 6 months in support of peacekeeping operations, returning home in June. In September 2004, Jake deployed with 45 Commando to the United States training with US Marines at 29 Palms, California and later at the Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Centre, high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Jake trained in cold weather warfare in mountainous conditions. In 2006 Jake was promoted to Lance Corporal and given the added responsibility of leading three other soldiers. That same year, Jake and 45 Commando was deployed to Norway for further arctic training. Later that year, the unit deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Herrick. Jake's job in Afghanistan was to work alongside Afghan National soldiers and help them learn their trade as soldiers. The unit recovered from Afghanistan in April 2007 and Jake left the military the following June.

He found employment with Bellway, one of the largest construction companies in the United Kingdom. He quickly learned the trades of Carpentry, Masonry and Plumbing. Since the company he worked for was located in Dudley, north of New Castle upon Tyne, Jake relocated to the region living in a flat in Longbenton.

In the first year of living in New Castle, Jake met Meridith Brine who he fell in love with and married 20 months later in September 2010. Jake and Meridith made a lovely couple. Jake often referred to his wife as "Meri" or her nickname, "Pep". Their first bairn, William was born in October, 2011 and their second, Michelle was born in April, 2013. Bill and Shelly were well adjusted young children.

As the outbreak of dragons grew, Jake's fears and apprehensions broadened. In late 2013 with a newborn and a two year old, Jake took his young family to Alnwick Castle about 40 Kilometers of where he lived in New Castle on Tyne. The presence of dragons frightened everyone. Jacob and Meri were most concerned with taking care of Billy and Shelly. The small community grew and grew over the years, but then the dragons' presence increased snatching people who dared to walk far from the protection of the castle walls. Late in 2018, Meri was taken by one of the more aggressive dragons, who earned the name, "Red" or "The Red King" for his dark reddish hue.

Life after the death of Meri is filled with darkness for Jake. The knowledge that his two young children ages 7 and 8 keep him going. If not for them, Jake would undoubtedly fall into a state of depression. Occasionally, something will remind Jake of his "Pep" and he is forced to find solitude.

Other: On a scavenger mission, Jake acquired a few tools to help him fend off the dragons. One was a L129A1 sharpshooter rifle, chambered in 7.62mm. He was able to gather up two boxes of 7.62mm ammunition or 840 rounds. He has fired a few of these, but has most of this stash left. He also have 12 20-round magazines for his rifle.

I would not rely so heavily on pre-established concepts, particularly those from other games. I would be wary as well of the language and cultural barriers that may result from having such an exotic character. I won't outright veto a character from the Jade Kingdoms (a concept most new players present most likely do not yet know of), but I'm hesitant. There is a distinct focus on the Iron Kingdoms in this story, mostly because someone from outside of them would not have been particularly affected by the Years of Dusk, and for other, plot-related reasons.

@Dead Cruiser

Fair enough. I could easily translate something from Legend of the five Rings into our use here. But your desire to keep the characters from the Iron Kingdoms is what I was looking for. I'll stick with the Hyperborean.

I'll have to put some thought into this. But since my character will be in his 50s, he would have been born close to the beginning of the Age of Dawn. I would prefer for him to be born in the North, but then either his family moved to the Borea, or he himself moved there. He would possess no magic, and be more of a barbarian than a cultured leader of men. Kind of like that avatar I have on display.

Deleted

I envision a desert mystic type. He was born to a group of people displaced in the Years of Dusk and pushed to the margins. Nomads in some broken part of the world, scavenging to survive. As the flow of magic back into the world turned from a trickle into a torrent, he exhibited prodigious sorcerous talents. Uncontrollable talents. Talents that manifested in disturbing and dangerous ways. He ran out into the desert late one night, and has spent much of the last two years in a fevered, dream-like state, barely conscious, living like an animal in the vast empty dunes under the desert sky, leaving a trail of strangeness in his wake: sand melted into hills of hieroglyphic-etched glass, boulders carved into perfect spheres, ravines shaped so that the wind blowing through whistles in ringing chords.

It was a hell of a bad trip.

But! I don't really want to play a loner. It would be nice to tie his coming to civilization/lucidity to another character -- whether rescued by them, captured by them, nursed back to health, adopted as a student, etc. His goals largely center around learning more about magic, controlling himself, but also feeding his almost compulsive need to act as a conduit for the raw force of magic flowing back into the world. And fending off the madness (risk of possession?) that acting in that way puts him at risk of

@Arborescence

I have a character I am considering using for this Role Play. He was originally intended as an Asian Adventures character in a Rokugan themed Role Play. For our purposes in THE AGE OF DAWN, he is racially from the Jade Kingdom, but has lived in the Sand Kingdom for many years. The character was originally created as someone who uses the water elements as a Damage Dealing Healer. He also has excellent unarmed combat skills. He prefers a peaceful exchange in deference to a hostile one. I quoted Arborescence only in that he could have found his Mystic and rescued him from a Sand Tribe or whoever took him captive. As a water based Shugenja. My character also dabbles in some mental abilities or as Arborescence states, a "Mystic". Due to his affinity towards water based magic, he is eager to leave the desert.

Traditionally, I am drawn to brawny barbarian warrior types; maybe with a Viking flair from Hyperborea, but I've always wanted to use this Asian character. I created an extensive spell book with detailed explanations of how to use each spell.

The character I have, could rescue Arborescence's character, nurse him back to health and then take him on as a student. I rarely play youngsters. Since I am already old, I tend to lean towards the upper end of the age spectrum.

EDIT: I've also considered writing for a Mutant, if that is a playable option.

Hello Dead Cruiser. I am interested in your RP idea. I have no idea what your previous story line consisted of. This is new to me, although the ideas of Post-Apocalyptic Military themed fantasy adventures are right up my alley. I will have to give some thought as to the type of character I create/use.

Like Shorticus, a one post per week rate is perfectly acceptable to me. Friday through Mondays are always best. I am rarely capable of posting in the IC Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday; very busy days.

《Convalescence - A New World 》

ihxzardx, I liked your post. I had only one question regarding the following quote...

Grayson's mind kept wandering back to the explosion he heard a day or two ago.

@iHxzardx

Does this mean you are introducing Grayson into a timeline different from some of the rest of us?
Are you referring to the same explosion that rocked Greg Bainbridge's tank?
