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.
--Gunther (AKA: Old School)
Character Summary
Name: Gunther Aliases: Landain Age: old (I was around when George Washington was a Lieutenant) Birthday: August 12 Ethnicity: French, English, & Seneca (Iroquois Confederation) Location: New England Gender: Male Higher Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science & Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice Occupation: Substitute School Teacher Languages: English, Spanish, German & a little French Years RPing: 18 Preferred RP Section: Advanced or Casual RP Level: Advanced Dedication Level: Moderate Biggest RP Pet Peeve: People who do not communicate with the group and drop. But then, if someone loses connectivity for an extended period, there is no way of knowing. Teach New RPers Or Coach New GM's: Yes
Appearance
Height: 5' 10" (I shrunk!) :( Build: Medium Eyes: Blue Hair: Dark Brown Skin Tone: Moderate to tanned Tattoos/Scars/Piercings: no tattoos or piercings. 1.5” Scar on the back of the left shoulder (dog’s tooth); 5” scar on left wrist (fracture repair procedure); 0.5” scar on the left knee (rock strike) Personal Style: Jeans, T-shirts, and sneakers, wearing a ball cap. Three of my children have their own cars. Image: I look like a soldier because it is what I know. I tend to wear a high and tight haircut. Clean-shaven, although I grow a beard in November.
Sexuality: Straight Relationship Status: Married with Children Personality: Gunther is conservative but flexible and objective. He attends Catholic mass with his family regularly and attempts a life free from sin. He can be a very moody person swinging from very warm, friendly, and extroverted to quiet and secluded. He hates winter; January and February make him very depressed. Gunther loves his children and would do anything for them and his wife.
Gunther is a morning person, but that comes from a life of serving in the military. He would rather go to bed early and get up early; prefers to exercise in the morning over working out just before bed. His chief flaw is saying what pops into his head unrestrained without thinking it over before letting fateful words spill out, full-fledged Gryffindor.
Habits: Smiling, unprovoked singing, talking with strangers & Coca-Cola Hobbies: Krav Maga, Running, Movies, reading, writing, Military History & Playing games with his children. Most recent hobby: Warhammer Age of Sigmar and 40,000. I have four armies; Two Orruk armies in AoS (Ironjawz and Krule Boyz), Space Marines (Salamanders) and the Dark Eldar (Drukhari). Fears: Heights, being alone, and not being able to afford a living. Likes: wife, his children, blue, 8, food, Military History, Mathematics, and well-written fiction – A Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones). Star Wars, Star Trek, Lord of the Rings, Science Fiction, War Movies, New England Patriots, San Francisco Forty-Niners, Boston Red Sox, Boston Bruins, Boston Celtics, board games, War Games (Strategy TB, rather than FPS), Romance stories, Action adventures, Fantasy, Sports stories and more…
Dislikes: Rude People, Liver, Socialism, Narrow-minded individuals, and Role Plays that end just as they are getting good.

History
What Brings You To Role Player Guild: There is a large community of writers here. I enjoy the hobby even though I rarely get time to participate. Currently, I try to limit my stories to one at a time. Unfortunately, I rarely find one I enjoy and others are willing to write in. When I do, they die way too early. Life Before You Came To Role Player Guild: It was very different. I don’t know how to explain it in just a few words or sentences. Life Since You Came To Role Player Guild: This is just a side hobby. I have many irons in the fire and this is just one of them. It has taken a back seat to my real life activities.
Extras
Quotes or Sayings: “Those who fail to learn the lessons of the past are doomed to repeat them.” – Winston Churchill paraphrasing George Santayana. “If you’re going to fight, fight like the third monkey on the ramp to Noah’s ark and brother…It’s starting to rain.” Theme Song: Warrior’s Call Advice To The World: Forgive the actions of those who came before us. Behaviors we consider heinous crimes today were generally accepted practices many years ago. Anything Else:
Oh, I have been writing for quite some to time. Loads of detail. I have little tolerance for those who seek to "win." I am writing a story. Our NS is merely a database, a framework for change and expansion.
Appearance: Guy, 38 stands 5’ 11” tall, he weighs 190 Lbs (86 Kg) and has a thin oval face with drawn in cheeks. His dark brown hair is cut short into a high and tight with skin on the sides and back. Occasionally, he wears a very thin mustache that just barely covers his upper lip. He has an average build, yet more muscular. He has an assortment of scars littering his body from various accidents and/or gunshot wounds from time spent in combat. His voice is on the deeper side and tends to focus on what he feels is important.
PMC: Global Securities, International is based out of Paris, France with employees from 38 different countries in Europe, Asia and Africa. The company has contracts in four different African nations as well as the island nation of Al Mitras. GSI prefers veterans of the French Foreign Legion as its members, but will take anyone who meets their stiff selection process.
Education/Training: Guy graduated from École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr in Guer, Brittany, Northwestern France with a Master’s degree in Military Strategy and International Relations. He successfully completed the 1er RPIMa selection and training including airborne training which lasts approximately nine months. When Guy was promoted to Captain, he attended the advanced Infantry School at Draguignan. During his formative years, he studied English which he is strong in. He can also speak German and Arabic and has a rudimentary understanding of the Bantu language and its dialect in Mumbaka.
Background: Guillaume HÉBERT was born and raised in the Paris suburb of Saint-Denis. After completing his secondary education, he tested to enter the national military academy and completed it successfully. He graduated from Saint Cyr in 2004 and then attended airborne training and the 1st Marine Infantry Parachute Regiment (1er RPIMa) selection and training. He remained a member of the French SAS for five years. When he was promoted to Captain, he trained at Draguignan, specializing as an infantry officer. He then commanded a company of French Foreign Legionaires in the 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment (2nd REP). He remained in the battalion as a staff officer after his command time ended. Then in 2014 he was assigned to the 3rd Marine Infantry Regiment as the regiment’s Operations Officer where he was promoted to Commandant. He left the French army in 2017 prior to being promoted to Lieutenant Colonel.
As a member of French SAS from 2004 through 2009, he conducted operations in Bosnia in 2006 and then worked out of the cement factory in Kobani, Syria along the Turkish border from 2006 to 2009. While in Syria he acquired a firm grasp of the Arabic language as well as made contacts with several Syrians who would later join GSI and fight alongside him in Africa. As a company commander in the 2nd Foreign Parachute Regiment, he was assigned to Corsica. His unit was deployed to Afghanistan as part of ISAF, United Arab Emirates and Mali. His Arabic continued to improve in Afghanistan and UAE.
In 2004, after joining the French SAS, Guy married Claire (née Leblanc) who he dated prior to SAS selection. They have a home in Plailly, France (northeast of Paris). Claire collects Guillaume’s paychecks which she uses to support her three children, Maximilien (14), Adélaïde (12) et Roland (10). The children attend Saint Dominique Middle School and Jane du Chesne Primary School. Claire also earns a living as an author of Romance novels. Her tales often refer to the soldier away from his love and their yearning hearts drawing them home to one another again. Absence makes the heart grow fonder is an oft expression in her work.
Personality: Guy is very confident, a quality he earned from playing football in secondary school and later in his military career; gained from pushing himself to the limits and beyond. Guy is a decisive leader. He has the uncanny ability to see what needs to be done at the right time. When he decides on a course of action, he sticks to it and sees it through to fruition. Guy can be quite humorous when the opportunity presents itself. He tends to be relaxed and laid back quite often, not letting tense moments get to him. Some would call Guy an alcoholic as he enjoys drinking the Bordeaux wines a bit too frequently. Guy can be slightly nepotistic in his treatment of those soldiers who served in the French Foreign Legion (FFL). He favors these soldiers over others with an especial disdain for Americans and Brits. He finds both to be unnecessarily arrogant and boorish. Guy can be obstinate about his decisions. He becomes furious if a soldier questions his decisions and will not be swayed from his opinion. He is very stubborn on his opinions.
Likes: Bordeaux Wines especially Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio from Entre-Deux-Mers, Cheese, Paris Saint-Germain Football Club (PSG), Game of Thrones, Crime dramas like Spiral & Braquo, Military History, Politics and his wife, Claire.
Dislikes: Arrogance, British, Americans, German beers, Criminals and those who would worship criminal activity and people who repeat themselves unnecessarily.
Fears: of being evil and of being insignificant
Weaknesses: Guy loves his wine. He is the quintessential wino but refrains from drinking during operations. When the battles are won, he indulges. Can be bigoted about his nation. He is a Francophile to the point where he promotes all things of French origin above all else. The only exception here are those people from other countries who served in the FFL. He has a lot of respect for FFL veterans.
Equipment: Multi-tool, dagger, boot knife, survival knife, compass, GPS, maps, photographs of the wife and children back in France, cellphone, parachute cord, candles, lighter, a few cartons of Gitanes cigarettes, box of Cuban cigars, and several books of historical nature on subjects like Napoleon, the Roman Empire and Charlemagne.
A few members of Guy's Company: Many of these are veterans of the FFL. A few are not. Their unit of origin is listed in abbreviation as well as their nation of origin. Company Commander: Guy Hébert, FR, Commandant, Executive Officer: Ronald Meyer, GER, Hauptman, KSK Company Sergeant Major: Phillippe Saint Laurent, FR, Major Colour Sergeant: Stefan Müller, GER, Hauptfeldwebel Quartermaster Sergeant: Vito Romano, IT, FFL Company Clerk: Frederico Almeida, PORT, FFL Unit armorer: Gustaw Kowalski, POL, SGT Supply Clerk: Levi Halabi, SYR, FFL Driver/RTO: Daewan Safar, LEB, FFL Driver/RTO: Jamal Nazir, ALG, FFL Driver/RTO: Rafa Issa, MOR, FFL
