Post a random fact about yourself.

Yes, @Xandrya. I had snot hanging down to my belly button and I could not see with all the liquid in my eyes when I exited the gas chamber. That was a very unpleasant experience. But have you ever slept on your pro mask as a pillow? Not very soft.

Background: Thomas Stewart was born December 11, 1983 to Robert and Sharon Stewart of Brookline, an affluent neighborhood of Boston. Bob Stewart started a corporate law firm after law school and a tour with the Marines in Southeast Asia. The elder Stewart has done well for himself building one of the more prestigious law firms in downtown Boston. As a Vietnam Veteran, Thomas Stewart lobbied for veteran’s rights on Beacon Hill and Capital Hill. His father’s accomplishments had a heavy influence on the son’s career choices.

Tom had a sister, Meghan who was kidnapped when she was 10 years old. Tom was 12 and they were very close. Her loss was very tragic to young Tom. His mother believes he has never truly recovered from his sister’s death. After twelve weeks of searching, Boston Police found her corpse face down on the shore of the Neponset River at Joe Finnegan Park in South Boston. The memory of his sister and her death would haunt Tom for the rest of his life. If anything, her death caused the boy to mature rapidly and take things more seriously. No more would there be time for fun and games.

As a teen, Tom’s father enrolled him into a martial arts program that taught Krav Maga, an Israeli self defense. He trained at this discipline for six years earning him a second degree black belt in Krav before graduating high school. He was naturally talented at the activity and especially enjoyed sparring other students.

Tom never had problems with the law as a child, graduating from Boston Latin High School in 2002. Due to his above average academic record as well as varsity letters in both baseball and football, the young man was appointed to the US Naval Academy at Annapolis, MD by Senator Ted Kennedy. Initially, he struggled at the Academy, but eventually understood what was expected of him. It took him more than a year before he developed the necessary level of discipline required to be a midshipman at Annapolis. The US Naval Academy commissions both US Naval officers and US Marine officers while the US Military Academy at West Point, New York commissions US Army officers. You would never see a graduate of West Point in the Navy and vice versa. When Tom graduated from Annapolis, he was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant (2LT) in the Infantry. He completed The Basic School (TBS) at Quantico, Virginia and then the Infantry Officer Course (IOC) which lasts an additional12 weeks. IOC is where young Lieutenants learn squad and platoon tactical proficiency. Upon completion of his branch qualification course and awarding of MOS 0370, Tom Stewart then attended the two Marine Special Operations Selection and Assessment Phases and then the nine-month Marine Special Operations Corps (MARSOC) Team Commander’s Course (MTCC) for officers. The final training for Lieutenant Stewart prior to being assigned to a unit, was completion of the US Army Airborne School at Fort Benning, Georgia.

While in the Marine Corps, Tom studied the Martine Corps Martial Arts program. He acquired a reputation as a tenacious fighter from his training partners. He never lost the thrill of sparring with others. His past experience in Krav Maga really helped him out. Before leaving the Marine Corps, he attained the rank of first degree black belt in the MCMAP.

Finally, in late 2008, newly promoted First Lieutenant Tom Stewart was assigned as a Platoon Commander in A Company, 1st Marine Raider Battalion at Camp Pendleton, California. By late 2009, 1LT Stewart found himself in Balkh, Afghanistan commanding a platoon of fifty marines near the border with Uzbekistan. During this deployment, Lieutenant Stewart participated in several engagement with enemy Taliban troops both alongside US Marines as well as allied Afghan National Army units. During a night raid in March 2010, Stewart received a wound in the left leg and right arm, which he recovered from within the year. He received a Purple Heart and the Silver Star for his actions. Later in 2010, his unit rotated back to Camp Pendleton and he was promoted to Captain.

During his time in Balkh, Afghanistan, Lieutenant Stewart witnessed an event that will stick with him for the rest of his life, not to mention the rigors of combat and being injured during a fire fight. His platoon was patrolling the barren wastelands to the north, mounted on Humvees. They came across a large pile of dead bodies near the border with Uzbekistan. The faces on the death appeared anguished, frightened with open eyes staring into the distance. Their bodies distorted, splayed in unnatural ways, limbs intertwined. The marines, worked with Non-governmental organizations and ANA soldiers to remove the corpses, which numbered 123. Once the bodies were removed, they found a black rock shaped in a perfect square with a shiny smooth curface at the center of the pile. The four foot by four foot rock was curious as patterns on its surface appeared to move. The rock did not physically move, but it appeared as though there were slow moving clouds inside the color of the rock, which also seemed to be one of the most densest materials he had ever seen. The movement of clouds in the rock was more like a dark swirling effect, without light. Being in the presence of this rock gave Tom a creepy feeling, that tingling sensation up his spine. It was as though nothing good and positive would ever come to him for the rest of his life. He had the urge to harm himself and knew he needed to get away from this rock. Tom swears he saw the eyes of several dead move as they were being carried away from that rock.

While recovering from his injuries in California, Tom met his soon to be wife, Jillian Malone who had recently graduated from UCLA with a degree in Marine Biology. The young woman’s family lived in Reno, Nevada, but she remained in the San Diego/Oceanside area. The couple hit it off quickly, love at first sight and would get married after he left the Marines back in Boston. Coincidentally, Jillian was in the process of deciding where to take her career. She had several offers across the country and even in some foreign countries. Meeting Tom helped her decide, so she accepted an offer from Woods Hole on Cape Cod.

As a Captain, Tom was assigned as the battalion assistant operations officer for 1st Raider Battalion. He remained in this position until his obligatory time in service ended in the summer of 2011. He was discharged with an honorable discharge and Veteran’s benefits that would pay for another college degree if he chose to return to school, which is exactly what he did. Jillian followed soon after his release from the military

Upon his return to Brookline, Marine Captain Tom Stewart applied to the Boston College School of Law where he received a Juris Doctorate of Law, three years later. Although his father entered Corporate Law, Tom focused on Criminal Law with the intentions of joining the Federal Bureau of Investigations. The majority of field agents in the FBI are State bar certified attorneys prior to working. Having a military background tends to make an applicant much more attractive. In June of 2014, Thomas and Jillian (Malone) Stewart were married at St. Mary of Assumption church in Brookline. His best friend, Jacob O’donahue from High School served as his best man.

After leaving the active component of the Marines, Tom Stewart joined the US Marine Reserve where he was soon promoted to Major and served as Operations Officer in the 1st Battalion, 25th Marines. He also resumed his training in Krav Maga where he has since reached the rank of third degree black belt. He continues to train in the MCMAP with fellow marine reservists when he has time.

Special Agent Tom Stewart has worked for the Boston Field Office for the Federal Bureau of Investigations for the past five years and has seen a lot of bizarre things. He still remembers the black rock in northern Afghanistan, but nothing will prepare him for what is about to happen.

Personality: Tom is a no-nonsense pragmatic person. Everything happens for a reason and the physical properties of the known world can never change. He is serious about his work and has no tolerance for horseplay around crime scenes. Tom tends to be an introvert, not sharing much with others. He will share information about crimes with those professionals he is working with, but keeps everything close to the vest with others. He will even keep things closed to his wife. He believes he is protecting her by not telling her about the bad stuff.

Tom is honest to a fault; in that he may tell people the truth even if they don’t want to hear it. He takes responsibility for his own actions, a trait drilled into him by his father and reinforced by the US Marine Corps.

Tom has worked at trying to be flexible. It is very challenging. His inflexibility about his own ideas is one of his biggest downfalls. Mentally, things are as they are supposed to be and he uses what he knows to help him solve crimes.

He can be driven to work on cases. Fatigue and frustration do not slow him down. He views those traits as weakness, urging others close to him to work through their obstacles also and see that there are issues with a case they just have not figured out yet. He is determined to solve a case and will work dogmatically to figure it out.

Tom is human and feels for the victims and their families. He has compassion. He goes out of his way to insure victims are protected; their interests are protected and in the case of homicide, their loved one’s remains are respected. Even if he puts on this front as a tough no nonsense law enforcement professional, he still understands people for who they are. It is simply very logical to him.

As a former combat infantryman, he is very patient. Being a member of the military teaches one to hurry up and wait. This experience translates into a very patient person. Likewise, he expects a similar level of patience in others.

Finally, the FBI Special Agent is loyal. He is loyal to his family, his nation and his friends. He would do anything to help them and protect those close to him. A man with friends needs for nothing.

Family, Friends, and Associates: Tom was married while in the Marine Corps. His wife, Jillian (Malone) Stewart, 33 studied Marine Biology at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA). Jillian works at Woods Hole Oceanographic Research institute on Cape Cod. Jillian loves her work and is devoted to her studies. The topic of children has not come up yet, but secretly, Tom would like to have one or two. For now, they are both focused on their careers, attempting to spend as much time with each as they can.

Both Tom’s parents, Bob and Sharon still live in Brookline. His father retired from his law practice years ago.

There are a few aunts, uncles and cousins who live in the area. At least once a year, Tom visits his sister, Meghan’s grave in Saint Joseph Cemetery.

Tom’s High School friend Jacob O’Donahue is also an attorney practicing law in the Boston area.

Likes: Jill Stewart, (wife), family, people who are punctual, teamwork, reading military history, crime dramas, New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, and classic rock and roll, specifically the guitar greats; Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Keith Richards, Jeff Beck and B.B. King.

Dislikes: Arrogant people who brag excessively, the attitude of entitlement a large group display in our world, selfishness, those who think only of themselves and have never existed in a teamwork environment.

Fears: Heights. Tom has had a fear of heights as long as he can remember. Everytime he jumped from an airplane in the military he had a panic attack but pushed through it. It took massive quantities of courage to get himself out of the airplane.

The thought that something bad could happen to his parents or his wife; the ones he loves, including the friends he has made working at the FBI office in Boston.

Tom does not have a long list of fears. He squishes insects on reaction and feels a sense of adrenaline or a tingling in his spine when confronted with a dangerous situation, either in combat or during an investigation that goes wrong. Training and experience causes him to react in the appropriate ways.

Languages: English (fluent), Spanish (90%), German (75%), Pashto (50%)

Weaknesses: The injury he sustained while in combat in Northern Afghanistan rendered his leg weaker than previously. He can still run, just not as fast as he once could. His speed is fast enough to pass a physical fitness test.

The experience of removing 123 corpses from some unearthly rock that might be found in a piece of fiction has left him doubting many of his oldest values. The experience really messed him up. It shook his confidence initially, which he regained quickly, but lead him to doubt those things he took for granted in the physical world.

Off-Duty Clothing/Equipment: Tom dresses in business casual when not working.
Clothing: He wears casual slacks; Khakis, Dockers or LL Bean as well as different colored golf shirts. He prefers a soft leather loafer and occasionally wears tennis shoes.
Weapons: His off-duty weapon is a small frame Sig Sauer P226 chambered in 9mm. Tools/Equipment: Tom carries a Gerber Leatherman on his belt at all times and carries a kuboton as a key chain. This is a martial arts weapon he has been trained to use in law enforcement. It is a simple piece of steel measuring five inches by a half an inch in diameter. He may or may not carry a six-inch knife in an ankle holster. He also carries a Google Pixel mobile phone.

Operational Clothing/Equipment:

Clothing: Black tactical trousers with the oversized cargo pockets, black mid tactical boot looking more like athletic footwear and a black golf shirt or T-shirt with the FBI log on it. For tactical situations, include a ballistic assault vest with the letters “FBI” emblazoned across the back and in small letters on the front, tactical thigh holster, shooter’s gloves, an FBI ball cap and sunglasses. The ball cap could be traded for a high cut ballistic tactical helmet. This kit would also include throat mic and communications equipment. He typically carries two extra pistol magazines as well as eight 30-round box magazines for his M4 Carbine.

Weapons: His on duty weapon is a medium frame Sig Sauer P229 chambered in .40 S&W. He also has an M4 carbine with all the fancy gadgets in the trunk of his work vehicle as well as a 12 gauge shotgun.

Tools/Equipment: two sets of Peerless Handcuffs, several sets of flex cuffs, Gerber Leatherman, a few six inch knives, lensatic compass, first aid kit, laptop computer, rubber gloves, several assorted colors of chem-lites and a mag-lite flashlight.

Man, this is tough. I played the game through as a good guy revealing an eagle as Arthur's spirit animal at his grave and a second time as a bad guy; killing everyone he came across revealing a dark coyote as his spirit animal. the best part of RDR2 is the story. I secretly hoped Arthur would have an affair with either Sadie Adler or Charlotte, the widow. None of that and Abigail just pisses me off. Poor John Marston saddled with her whiney ass.

Welcome @CaptainBritton Good to see you, bro. Is that Michael Biehn? He isn't going to be looking to overthrow SKYNET during this RP is he?

Yeah, I admit my profile writing was halted since there was silence and I was afraid this'd died.

@Vertigo

FEAR of an RP dying is merely a self-fulling prophecy. Believing it will be the best Role Play ever in the history of role playing and putting all of your creative juices into it will help to make it just that. If it is an idea you truly enjoy, put all of you into it.

Delta Green: Whispers in the Darkness

Three FBI agents, suck it other agencies

I did not realize when I started writing. This could quickly become a remake of Fringe.



This is one of my favorite Television series of all times. But it did get weird toward the end.

Delta Green: Whispers in the Darkness

I started working on a character this evening; an FBI agent with military background. I should have him posted sometime tomorrow. Personally, I am a veteran of the US Army and have been reading Military History for over 40 years. I also like the supernatural connection. Curious to see where that leads us. I hope this RP is still open to new characters.

Post a random fact about yourself.

I went camping with my children this weekend. I used a cot and my light "summer" sleeping bag. It is about as thin as your favorite sweatshirt or the blanket you cuddle up with on the couch. Thirty years ago, I slept under the stars on the ground with my chemical protective mask serving as my pillow. Not anymore.
