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.

If there is a bit of pain, your body will learn acceptance after the first prick. You need only tolerate that first stick.

...I did not know that's the origin of the term 'Honcho'. Presumably, that's where 'Head Honcho' comes from?
Hello Silverwind! Good to see you.
I got that tidbit from a documentary on the Military History channel; Dogfights s1 e1 MiG Alley. An American Army of occupation remained in Japan during the Korean War. The US Army Theatre command was based in Japan. This is where combat troops went for Rest and Relaxation during the Korean War. US troops, I imagine any nation's soldiers are influenced at least with their language use by the host nation they are living in. When I left Germany in the 1980s, I came away with a smattering of German words. I'm sure the US servicemen in Japan did the same thing. Yes, head honcho more than likely did come from Japan.
My genres of choice are sci-fi, and modern-day (with a sci-fi twist). I like RP's that mix reality with fiction, and throw an unusual and exciting twist into an otherwise normal setting - something like Stargate SG-1 would be an example, or Battle: Los Angeles. An almost recognizable world, but with some sci-fi twists.
I'm a fan of military and action-based RP's that do this especially, and they are easily my favourite - though I rarely see any that appeal to me enough - all the military RP's are too 'plain', and anything else modern day is usually fantasy or fandom.
I appreciate your Roleplay interests. Mine are similar. I like to take pieces from various media and stir them up into a delicious recipe of fantastic elucidations.
I do have an idea for an RP based on Assassin's Creed: Odyssey set in a modern day world of my creation.
I started a new Roleplay, Honchos in MiG Alley about a fictional Soviet Fighter Wing flying MiG-15s against American pilots in the Korean War.
During the Korean Conflict, the Soviet Union provided Mikoyan-Gurevich MiG-15 Fighters to the Korean People's Army Air and Anti-Air Force (KPAAF) to fight against NATO Air Forces in the south. The Soviet Union also provided experienced pilots to assist North Korean and Chinese pilots with their new aircraft and train them on effective tactics. The Soviet Union also sent new pilots to the Eastern Combat zone in order to acquire experience fighting against American pilots. Most encounters between NATO and North Korean/USSR pilots was fairly one sided with NATO pilots winning. Not because they had better aircraft, but because the NATO pilots were experienced from fighting against either Japanese or German Pilots less than a decade earlier.
The Soviet pilots were limited in that they were not allowed to fly too close to NATO lines or to fly over the Yellow Sea or the Sea of Japan. These young pilots were limited to remaining over North Korea and its armies. On occasion, an experienced cadre member from the advisor group would take to the sky and fly combat missions alongside young Russians or North Korean pilots against the Americans.
When the F86 Sabre was introduced to the Korean Theatre in November and December 1950, the MiG-15 remained the dominant aircraft. It was the skill and experience of the pilots that established NATO dominance in the sky. When the F86F model came out near the end of the war, finally there was an aircraft that could match the flight characteristics of the MiG-15. When the Experienced Russian pilots flew against F86 Sabres, the Americans noticed a discernable difference between these experienced pilots and their North Korean counterparts. The Americans quickly assigned a nickname to the Superior Russian pilots; HONCHO; the Japanese borrowed word meant “Big Shot”. It came to define a group of Soviet pilots who gave their American counterparts a thrill to dogfight.
This Roleplay focuses on a fictional battalion from the 72nd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (USSR). These 20 aircraft flew KPAAF marked MiG-15 aircraft in North Korea during the early 1950s. Our characters will be members of one of three squadrons of the 72nd Guard Fighter Aviation Regiment (USSR). The squadrons fly out of Anshan Airport in Liaoning Province, China from 12 December 1950 through to the end of the war.
A Soviet squadron consists of eight aircraft and eight pilots. The squadron commander holds the rank of Major and would have fought against the Germans in the Eastern Front. There are three Captains serving as flight leaders who are also veterans of the Eastern Front. The remaining four pilots are lieutenants who may have seen some combat in 1945, but most likely are new pilots. There is also one Lieutenant Colonel, commanding the battalion of the 72nd Regiment. This commander flies with his wingman, a Captain or a senior lieutenant. Both of these pilots are veterans of the Eastern Front.
The pilots in the 1st Battalion, 72nd Guards Fighter Aviation Regiment (USSR) will live and die over MiG Alley…
