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.

Here’s the set up:
Our characters are soldiers or sailors at war with one another from distant planets. Sailors man the mighty ships surging through the galaxy and the soldiers spawn from there ships to fight and die on land not unlike their home worlds.
During an engagement between warships slugging it out, escape pods jettisoned from doomed vessels send our two characters to some unknown distant planet uninhabited by intelligent lifeforms. Instead, a world composed of rock, desert, scattered pools of water and small dabs of arable land or thick tangle of jungle. The creatures of this world are diverse including both prey and predator. The prey are abundant and are sufficient for our characters to eat happily. The predators are in sufficient numbers to make survival precarious.
Imagine the US Army Rangers who stumbled through some unseen portal in the movie Monster Hunter or the indigenous creatures of Pandora in Avatar who threatened the Air People (Humans).
Our characters crash on the planet, or our escape pods land safely depositing us on this hostile world with no intelligent life. We are unaware of each other’s presence initially, focusing on survival and contacting anyone off world. But our communications equipment is damaged and contact outside Quoras-3 is not possible without some repairs which will require time and spare parts which no one has.
Eventually, our characters become aware of one another and must decide which is more important, trying to kill the other or fighting the indigenous lifeforms to remain alive until rescue can be made. We do fight, but eventually, we come to a cooperative agreement similar to USAF Hank Marlow and IJN Gunpei Ikari who crash on Skull Island (King Kong) during WWII and agree to work together.
The pair stumble upon a lost artifact in a cave on this planet that mysteriously grants both characters with magical abilities. Magic disappeared from the universe several millennia ago. There are sacred tomes on both sides detailing the actions of magic wielders in ancient times, but no one has possessed these abilities for eons. They are considered mythical.
Finally, the pair are rescued and return to their home worlds in possession of these gifts. But this could be another story.
The Na’Vi of Pandora are not there. There is only one large flying dragon like the one seen in Monster Hunter. He is the dominant species of the planet. There is one extensive underground hive of scorpion like insects that will not climb out of their tunnels during daylight. The lush forests are just as dangerous as the open expanses of desert, and it is brutally hot.
What happens when the two go back home could be left for another story or possibly a Role Play involving a group of 5-10 people.
