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.

Well, you wake up in the mornin', you hear the work bell ring
And they march you to the table, you see the same old thing
Ain't no food upon the table, and no pork up in the pan
But you better not complain, boy, you get in trouble with the man
Hey hey mama said the way you move
Gonna make you sweat, gonna make you groove

Ah, ah, child, way you shake that thing
Gonna make you burn, gonna make you sting.

Hey hey baby when you walk that way
Watch your honey drip, can't keep away

...

I gotta roll, can't stand still
Got a flamin' heart, can't get my fill

Eyes that shine, burnin' red
Dreams of you all through my head

...

Hey, baby, whoa baby, pretty baby
Darlin' makes 'em do me now
Hey, baby, oh baby, pretty baby
Move me like you're doin' now

Didn't take too long 'fore I found out
What people mean by down and out

Spent my money, took my car
Started tellin' her friends she gonna be a star

I don't know, but I been told
A big-legged woman ain't got no soul
...
All I ask for when I pray
A steady rollin' woman won't come my way
Need a woman gonna hold my hand
Tell me no lies, make me a happy man...
If I don't like the cereal, I'll separate the marshmallows from the cereal, put them in a bowl with milk, and eat marshmallows for breakfast instead.

One of these days my neighbor and I will go for a ride on our Harleys.

Fraggle Rock? Seriously?
I played WoW from 1 Nov 04 (Beta) to the end of 2009 when my account was hacked and all my money and gear were sold and sent away. Although Blizzard reset my account to hte day before, All my Epic raiding gear was top tier with multiple enchantments. I just couldn't play anymore. I had weeks when I played 40 - 60 hours, like it was my job.

Love Ancient Greece. Played ACO for a long time. Preferred Kassandra over Alexios too.
Honestly, I prefer males, but some of my main characters in World of Warcraft were female. But I haven't played that game in 11 years.
Name: Fleur Roselyn de la Fère, Daughter of Athos
Age: 24
Primary Weapon: Rapier
Secondary Weapon: Musket

Looks:


Personality: Confident, Arrogant, Bold Risk-taker

Small Bio: Fleur Roselyn was born to Athos, one of the principal Musketeers who protected the king’s life with his own. Her mother was the Countess Bridgette Emilee de la Fère. The younger Fleur received a favorable upbringing, born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She trained with her father and later his friends in the use of the rapier and the musket. She also appreciates the use of a small dagger, for more than a simple letter opener.

Although taught to be a lady at court, Fleur Roselyn preferred the robust lifestyle of a musketeer over the passive lifestyle of a demure lady. She has proven herself to her instructors on a number of occasions that she is serious about her training and skills as a musketeer. Her peers trust her as well. They are concerned about her arrogance, saying it will one day be her downfall.

Fleur has single-handedly captured no fewer than six rascals willing to sacrifice their own lives at a chance to get close to the king and possibly do him harm. Fleur takes her duty to the king serious and trusts no one but her sister musketeers and d’Artagnan.
