If you are a fan of Warhammer 40,000 or Age of Sigmar, let me know. Maybe we can put together an RP. I play Ironjawz & Kruleboyz in AOS and Salamanders & Drukhari in 40K.

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 the 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 since I was 10 years old. I do prefer Military Role Plays over all other genres, primarily because I have a vast knowledge of the subject including 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 eighteen 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. 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.

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 five years ago. :(]

Over 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.

Glad to hear it, @Lyly. I watched Joker today. Joachin Phoenix is brilliant...

@Gunther
It's not my age. I am more than old enough to have remembered the show if I watched it.

hint:
I remember a Claymation show they had on mtv2 called 'celebrity deathmatch'.
my mom refused to let me watch it cause I was just a kid at the time.

That's still young to me. Lol. I remember seeing the moon landing in '69 and the Vietnam War on the evening news. We had only 3 or 4 channels when I was a kid, but yes, you were old enough for Lost Girl.
@Lyly Your meme suggests you were beaten up. I hope you are OK.

Georgie Lane...

I loved Lost Girl too. The Fae community instead of Wesen Community.
@Landain
I don't really recall lost girl.


Could it be your age? I do not know how old you are, but Lost Girl aired in 2010 - 2015. It does have an adult theme to it for language and sexually suggestive scenes.
@Lyly
Andrew Hunt held the door for the other two, “ladies first.” The young British Detective of African descent smiled at the female police investigator. His family had been in the UK since the mid 19th century after slavery was abolished. No one in his family line was ever a possession, a fact he was proud of.


This is my personal policy on NPCs. You can talk for them anyway you wish. We can develop Andrew Hunt's character together. He and Hill are both your partners for this police investigation. The only thing I ask, is that you do not kill him. You can even allow him to get seriously injured; hospitalized if necessary, but not death.
I finally got the Starting post up.
Chapter I

Introductions




Superintendent Martin King supervised the Criminal Investigations Division (CID) for Hampshire Constabulary which included all of Hampshire County as well as Southampton, Portsmouth and Isle of Wight. The man stood 5’ 10” tall and weighed closer to 230 Lbs (104Kg) at 50 years of age. Decades of consuming alcohol caught up to him, with a red bulbous nose and bloodshot eyes that would never go away. He stood at the podium in front of a crowded briefing room in his white police uniform. Every other person in the room was dressed in gender appropriate plain clothes. Representatives from every CID unit in the constabulary were present including DS Diara Decker, DS Andrew Hunt and DI Ransom Hill.

“Ladies and gentlemen, my name is Superintendent King and you have all been called here to form an anti-narcotics task force.” The superintendent began his briefing at the Operational headquarters on Tower Street in Winchester. “We have received credible intelligence that a large shipment of Cocaine has entered Southampton by way of the shipyards. It is estimated, the narcotics have a value in excess of ten million Euros or nine point two million Pounds Stirling. We believe the Freemantle Vipers is the buyer and they will not sit on their product for very long. We believe they have shipped this product somewhere here in Winchester, but may also have storage sites in Southampton and Portsmouth. They are also shipping illegal firearms into the country and are prepared to use them. It is reported they have several Kalashnikovs from the Russian Federation as well as other Russian built sub machine guns and handguns. These weapons are fully automatic and pose a threat to you and your colleagues. Due to this alarming event, you will be authorized to carry sidearms. I will need you all to visit the pistol range to refamiliarize yourself with our handguns.” British law enforcement officers do not typically carry firearms in the day to day conduct of their duties. “Tactical Support Teams will be on high alert during the conduct of these operations and made available in the event an arrest is imminent or a search of private grounds is required. You will carry the department issued Glock 26 subcompact chambered in 9mm.”

“The Freemantle Vipers, Intelligence tells us is lead by Rupert Hawthorne. This man should be considered armed and dangerous if dealt with. Also, even if unarmed, he is not someone you will want to have a row with. He is suspected of killing five people with his bare hands and would not think twice about killing any one of you. In fact, he would probably perceive you as a welcome challenge. Be prepared for the worst. Your job is investigations and I want you to travel in groups of three. Your assignments are posted. Get to know who you are working with and come up with a viable plan for your assigned sector. If there are no questions, I would like to see DI Hill, DS Hunt and DS Decker in my office. Dismissed.”



Detective Inspector Ransom Hill gave his partner, Andrew Hunt a knowing look, then searched for DS Decker. She was the small blonde near the front of the room. “I used to work the streets with her when I was a uni.” Ransom spoke quietly to his partner. “My money says she is with us. Let’s go see what the Super wants.” Hill and Hunt made their way to the Superintendent’s office to answer that question.

They arrived about the same time as DS Decker. Andrew Hunt held the door for the other two, “ladies first.” The young British Detective of African descent smiled at the female police investigator. His family had been in the UK since the mid 19th century after slavery was abolished. No one in his family line was ever a possession, a fact he was proud of.

Superintendent King took a seat at his desk and motioned the others to take seats around his desk. He knew Diara was a Klaustreich and Ransom was a Grimm, but wanted them to find each other on their own time. He wasn’t willing to give that bit of information up at the moment. Both also knew Superintendent King was a Blutbad. Detective Sergeant Andrew Hunt was not aware the Wesen community existed. All of this would be a complete surprise to him. When he eventually would find out, it might shock him. The Superintendent was worried about that and wanted Hill to update him on the subject.

“Do you know each other?” the Superintendent of CID asked the detectives.

Ransom Hill looked at Diara, smiling, “DS Decker and I worked together downtown in uniform when she was fresh out of training. I will admit we are familiar with one another, but it has been a few years.” Ransom looked at his new partner, “how many years has it been?” Once she responds, the Superintendent would introduce Detective Sergeant Hunt to Diara Decker. Diara Decker is also familiar with Hawthorne's Wesen connection.
