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.

“That’s a good question, Miss Abby. Do we have a waffle iron?” Hook left the galley to enter the storage room. He could be heard rumbling through everything looking high and low. Then three minutes later, he returned with a four-waffle, waffle iron. “Yes, Miss Abby, you can have waffles!” Hook responded with a big toothy grin.
Hook already had eggs on the preparation counter, he grabbed a steel mixing bowl from a higher cupboard. He plugged the waffle iron in and began to preheat. He gathered flour, milk, vegetable oil, sugar, baking powder, salt, and vanilla extract. Then he cracked four eggs dropping them into the bowl. Hook preferred to use a wire whisk, which he used to whip the eggs into a creamy froth. He measured out all the right quantities and poured them one at a time into the large mixing bowl with the eggs. Each ingredient was beaten individually into the batter to ensure the texture was smooth. Then he sprayed the waffle iron with a non-stick cooking spray. Next, he poured one third of his batter into the iron which would produce four fluffy yellow waffles. He placed these on a plate and left them on the table for Abby. He continued to cook the remaining batter which would produce a total of twelve waffles.
“These should be nice and tasty for you. Ah have some maple syrup in the pantry.” Joe left to retrieve the syrup, leaving the bottle on the table along with a clean plate, knife, and fork. She could take what she needed from the plate. As the waffles came off the iron, he added them to the existing plate. Others who hadn’t eaten could then help themselves to waffles if they wanted.

Muhammed Ali v. George Foreman, October 30, 1974. Foreman is defending the Heavy Weight Title. Ali had previously held the title. Foreman had knocked out both Frazier and Norton previously, both of whom had defeated Ali. The "Rope a Dope" display on my signature is Ali getting into Foreman's head. He was famous for head bobs and weaves, ducking punches as well as dancing in the ring. I think he dodged something like 21 punches in that gif? In the 8th round, Ali knocked out Foreman and took the title from him.
I think it is real easy to just say, "I have 500 soldiers in my unit." But having been there and done that I know the numbers rarely come out that pretty. I think Lio's intent is to set 500 as a max. With that in mind, I made dice rolls to determine the numbers in my unit. I am content with how things turned out.
Title: The Nymerean High Guard
Heavy Infantry 180
Mail Infantry 136
Rangers 52
Battle Mages 34
Total: 402
Organization:
2x Heavy Infantry Companies of 90
2x Mail clad infantry companies of 68
1x Ranger Company of 52
1x Battle Mage Battery of 34
I don't mind taking a hit, in fact, taking a loss is better writing than winning all the damn time. OP units in RPs like this are boring.

Hook had already gotten a jump on cleaning, spending the time getting things squared away. He heard the young woman enter the galley, but in typical Joe Hooker style, he missed those subtle clues between the women. He simply brushed it off as girl business. He didn’t push it any. Not his business.
“Good mornin’, Miss Abby. I trust you had a decent night’s sleep?” Joe Hooker looked at the young woman. “Yes, Miss Penny, I will take care of Miss Abby. You lets me know ‘bout the new shipment. Ah will come with you and take care o’ that. You don’ need to be liftin’ heavy objects. That’s Hook’s job.” Hook wiped the plate he was cleaning off and placed it back in the cupboard. “Now, what you be havin’ fer breakfast?”
