Current The dot over a lowercase i and j has a name! It's called a tittle, which is a noun meaning "a tiny amount or part of something". Like the dot over an i or a j.

Bio

I am a veteran of the United States Army and the US Army National Guard. I spent three years on Active Duty serving in the 4th Infantry Division (Mechanized) at Ft. Carson, CO and 3rd Armor Division at Kirch Göns, West Germany. I spent 18 years in the Army National Guard with the 26th Infantry Division "Yankee" and 29th Infantry Division (Light), "The Blue and the Gray". I was deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina with the 29th ID (L) in 2001 - 2002. I have also been reading military history articles and books for over 49 years. I do prefer Military Role Plays over all other genres, primarily because I have a vast knowledge on the subject to include personal experiences. At the very least, my characters are always veterans.

I have been writing for pleasure for at least 35+ years, but only got into forum-based Role Playing about fifteen years ago. I do enjoy Nation Role Plays and get into minute detail when designing my military. The only reason I enjoy excruciating detail in my militaries is because for me, it is fun. My education and experience on this subject afford me the insight to see the depth of the structure. It is not just a General and a large pile of soldiers. If someone wants assistance in designing an army, navy, or air force, please send me a PM. I will help. Please specify what level (echelon) or depth you would like me to go. When I say echelon, I mean Army, Corps, Division, Brigade/Regiment, Battalion/Squadron, Company/Troop/Battery, Platoon, and Squad/Section.

When I was a student in High School, I used to play Dungeons & Dragons (Edition 1 & 2). Later editions came out after I quit that game. Recently, I have been DMing a 5e campaign of my creation for my son and his friends. 5e is so much less cumbersome than earlier editions of D&D. I do have an interest in Tolkien-esque fantasy-styled Role Plays as well. Time travel has always been a fun genre for me, but to do it well, one must have a firm grasp of historical facts. I love doing this form of role play, especially since I have a solid foundation on the past.

There are only a few fanfictions I will participate in; Star Wars and Star Trek are two of them. I want to do an exclusively Klingon RP one of these days. I also avoid Canon characters.

I have real-world martial arts experience. I would love to write an RP about hand-to-hand combat, no fantasy magic chit, just hands elbows, knees, and feet. Maybe the occasional head butt thrown in to mix things up. I trained in Krav Maga for six and a half years. I earned a first-degree black belt in Krav Maga on 3 June 2017. 

Krav Maga is an Israeli martial art form that employs practical self-defense techniques drawing forms & techniques from Muay Thai, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and Taekwando. It is very brutal, demanding, and aggressive. During the seven years I trained, I have bruised two ribs, sustained several muscle pulls, and various lacerations and bruises over my body. I have received a sprained ankle and a fractured wrist. Before the first black belt test, I received a bone bruise to my right shin; where my roundhouse kicks impact. Yet, I am stupid enough to continue training. [Regardless of the physical pain, it is more fun than any other physical activity I have engaged in. Fortunately, the bone bruise healed up prior to the third and final test. EDIT: I did leave the sport over four years ago. :(]

Almost two years ago I completed my first novel, a science fiction set in the 24th century. It focuses on a Private Military Corporation solely employed by the earth government. I started a second book in November 2022 and hope to work on that this summer when I have more time.

Send me a PM for a Role Play or if you would like to see what sort of an army I could build for you.

Psychology


Happy * Expressive * Bold * Considerate * Generous * Warm * Sensitive * Creative * Extrovert * Cerebral * Warrior

Sexuality: Straight
Relationship Status: Married with Children 
Personality: Gunther is conservative but flexible and objective. He attends Catholic mass with his family regularly and attempts a life free from sin. He can be a very moody person swinging from very warm, friendly, and extroverted to quiet and secluded. He hates winter; January and February make him very depressed. Gunther loves his children and would do anything for them and his wife. 

Gunther is a morning person, but that comes from a life of serving in the military. He would rather go to bed early and get up early; prefers to exercise in the morning over working out just before bed. His chief flaw is saying what pops into his head unrestrained without thinking it over before letting fateful words spill out, full-fledged Gryffindor.

Habits: Smiling, unprovoked singing, talking with strangers & Coca-Cola
Hobbies: Krav Maga, Running, Movies, reading, writing, Military History & Playing games with his children.
Most recent hobby: Warhammer Age of Sigmar. I am building an army of the Orruk Warclans. I have built and painted over 2600 points worth of miniatures. My son's Stormcast Eternals always seem to get the better of me.
Fears: Heights, being alone, and not being able to afford a living.
Likes: wife, his children, blue, 8, food, Military History, Mathematics, and well-written fiction – A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones). Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Science Fiction, War Movies, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, board games, War Games (Strategy TB, rather than FPS), Romance stories, Action adventures, Fantasy, Sports stories and more…
 
Dislikes:
Rude People, Liver, Socialism, Narrow-minded individuals, and Role Plays that end just as they are getting good. 

RPs Currently GMing: None
RP's Currently Enjoying: Firefly Second Verse
Upcoming Works: Honchos on the DMZ; a story of Russian pilots flying MiG-15s during the Korean War.

History


What Brings You To Role Player Guild: There is a large community of writers here. I enjoy the hobby even though I rarely get time to participate. Currently, I try to limit my stories to one at a time. Unfortunately, I rarely find one I enjoy and others are willing to write in. When I do, they die way too early. 
Life Before You Came To Role Player Guild: It was very different. I don’t know how to explain it in just a few words or sentences.
Life Since You Came To Role Player Guild: This is just a side hobby. I have many irons in the fire and this is just one of them. It has taken a back seat to my real life activities.

Theme Song: Warrior’s Call
Advice To The World: Forgive the actions of those who came before us. Behaviors we consider heinous crimes today were generally accepted practices many years ago.

Everyone has an accent. To oneself and to those who sound like us, we would admit we do not have an accent. But, someone from another culture who speaks the same language and sounds different than us would say we have an accent. I've often found myself admitting that certain British actors have a great American accent in movies/television shows. Colm Meaney in "Hell on Wheels"; Damian Lewis in "Band of Brothers" and Lennie James in "The Walking Dead/Fear the Walking Dead" are all perfect examples of British actors with excellent American accents.

Is he okay?@HaleyTheRandom
He will be fine.

My son has a history of headaches. I can never tell if they are real or if he is faking just to get out of doing something he doesn't want to do. For me and my son it is always a "Boy who cried wolf" scenario. When he was in 2nd Grade, he told me he wanted to play football. I didn't want him to, because I didn't want to risk him getting a concussion. I told him he could play football when he got to Middle School. He is 12 years old in 6th grade now.

My son is also a black belt in Kempo Karate. He is a fast runner, he is quick on his feet and has great endurance. He would make a good running back, but on top of that I have been training him to be a receiver for years. We play catch all the time. The first week of practice, he never dropped a ball. But the local youth football teams changed authorities. It used to be that all players were grouped according to size; weight. This year, the rules changed and they are grouped by age/grade. My son is 4' 9" and weighs 93 Lbs. He is the 3rd smallest kid on the team. The average player on the team is 5'2" and weighs 110 or 120 Lbs. With his proven abilities and skills and his size relative to the rest of the team, they assigned him to be an Offensive Lineman. Wow!

My son went home crying that night. Everyone on the line is larger than him. I watch him in practice and in games. He is always overwhelmed, but he keeps fighting.

Wednesday night, he took a hard hit in practice, but he never complained about anything out of the ordinary. Yea, he said he had a headache, but that is common place with this kid. He always has a headache. See the second sentence of my post. Thursday, his black belt class in Karate was sparring. His partner was apparently wailing on him pretty badly. He took three hard hits to the head. When Karate was over, he was crying. He complained of a headache and being dizzy. He is always trying to get out of football because of his size and the fact that he always gets overwhelmed. I assumed he was faking it and gave him a ration of shit. I let him talk to his mom who works in healthcare. I have no clue when it comes to health matters. It is not my lane. I'm a soldier. 

We kept him home from football practice Thursday night and home from school on Friday. The wife took him to the doctor's office and they diagnosed him with a mild concussion; no sports for a week or more and no school until his headaches dissipate. He goes back to school tomorrow and I feel like an ass. :/

Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Science Fiction, War Movies, New England Patriots, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, board games, War Games (Strategy TB, rather than FPS), Romance stories, Action adventures, Fantasy, Sports stories and more…<br> <br>Dislikes:<br>Rude People, Liver, Socialism, Narrow-minded individuals, and Role Plays that end just as they are getting good. <br><br>RPs Currently GMing: None<br>RP's Currently Enjoying: Firefly Second Verse<br>Upcoming Works: Honchos on the DMZ; a story of Russian pilots flying MiG-15s during the Korean War.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><div class="bb-h2">History</div></span><br><br>What Brings You To Role Player Guild: There is a large community of writers here. I enjoy the hobby even though I rarely get time to participate. Currently, I try to limit my stories to one at a time. Unfortunately, I rarely find one I enjoy and others are willing to write in. When I do, they die way too early. <br>Life Before You Came To Role Player Guild: It was very different. I don’t know how to explain it in just a few words or sentences.<br>Life Since You Came To Role Player Guild: This is just a side hobby. I have many irons in the fire and this is just one of them. It has taken a back seat to my real life activities.<br><br><span class="bb-b"><div class="bb-h2">Extras</div></span><br><br>Quotes or Sayings: “Those who fail to learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them.” – Winston Churchill paraphrasing George Santayana. “If you’re going to fight, fight like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark and brother…It’s starting to rain.” <br>Theme Song: <a target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rSmtHBMjXLU">Warrior’s Call</a><br>Advice To The World: Forgive the actions of those who came before us.
