So when's the game gonna continue? Is GM busy with finals or something?
Sure, you could play ScarJo.
But you could also, and hear me out, play a sentient rocket.

"This is it. I've finally lost it." Bee said as he floated through binary.
"Perhaps this is divine punishment for some sin I committed in a past life." he said, as his vision began to fade. He heard voices somewhere off in the distance. They were so far away though. Perhaps it was best to sleep.
...............
"B-" a familiar voice snapped the man awake, now all too lucid as he eyed his new threads. His eyes ran up and down his gloved fingers, clenching his fist before looking into the empty distance.
"I know way more about this body than I really should." he said aloud. Deep in his gut, he was aware of a few key things. His left hand wandered towards his waist, and gripped a Japanese sword holstered onto his belt.
"This.... this is a strong weapon." he said, bringing the blade a few inches from the scabbard. Staring at the blade too long made his heart feel unbearably hot, and he slid it back inside the sheathe.
"And this. This is important. Somehow." he reached forward, and grabbed an attache case. Just looking at it, Bee could tell it wouldn't open yet, even if he forced it. It was probably to complete his ensemble.
Other people were appearing. Characters from Bee's Japanese video games were appearing.

Username: IncredibleBee
Character nickname: Bee
Gender: Male
Appearance: Bee appears as a very lean, pale looking man with a shaggy mess brown hair and the tiniest bit of stubble over his chin and lip. He has bags under his eyes, which are covered by a pair of rectangular glasses. His entire left arm is mechanical; you can hear a faint whir when it moves. Bee constantly wears a black suit and tie with black gloves, concealing the arm rather well. On his hip in a holster lies an ornate Japanese sword, and he carries a heavy attache case at his side.
Personality: During the transformation process, Bee's own ego was strong, and his personality is largely in tact. Moreover, his avatar isn't anything he played so much as an amalgamation of stuff he thinks is cool, regardless or whether it's actually cool. In his world, Bee was a bitter introvert who spent most of his time talking about swords and watching anime. Here, though, he's gained a goal, and a sense of purpose. He has something to do.
Generally speaking, he's actually rather lazy, and if it weren't for the fact that he gets to explore magical worlds of whimsy and adventure he'd probably sit at home watching anime all day. He'd even be content for the chance to just wander endlessly. Despite his aloof nature, his heart melts if he finds something particularly cute.
He possesses a love for spicy foods, and loves showing off.
In combat, he tends to stay aggressive, all the while spewing out terrible one-liners.
Alignment: Protagonist
Skills: Beforehand
-Drawing
-Cooking
-Video games
-A natural affinity for logistics
-A nigh unhealthy love of medieval weaponry
After the switch
-Maximum Swordsmanship. Bee can wield swords in ways no human should. It's less like he's akin to a legendary master, and more like he's drawing directly from the source of inspiration those masters had. He can cut through space to attack from a distance by using iaido that fast. He can parry from impossible angles by using any part of his sword. He's capable of cutting through things swords shouldn't cleave with a focused strike reminiscent of Jigen, and at max speed, his blade can occupy multiple spaces to attack from different angles.
Powers: Bee's most notable augment is his great strength and durability; he's capable of lifting and throwing tanks and similarly heavy objects. On top of this, his left arm is robotic, even more durable than the rest of his body. Its full power requires further augments and modifications to utilize. He can get by well enough just by tanking. Probably.
Equipment: Bee's primary weapon is Korbo, a Japanese O-katana. Its deep red hilt is contrasted nicely by the soft brown color of the ivory-capped scabbard, and the guard depicts falling ringo. The sword is a conceptual manifestation of Bee's own emotions. Its true power yet lies dormant; the seal must be broken by Bee's own love.

"Well Rand, having a spy is a good idea. In fact, your idea would work under much better circumstances. But as I understand it, your lot went out and killed a number of Lord Eowen's men. Even if he sent in a false report, he couldn't account for those missing bodies that just happened to disappear on a raid on my villagers. That's all the reason he needs to launch an attack." she explained to the mercenary, leaning back.
"Now, I understand that it may seem like a good idea to launch a counterattack, but Rand is actually correct. We lack the manpower to enact a siege. You have no sappers, no smiths, no men to move supplies. You didn't mention the state of my villagers and that itself is telling of their fate. Even skirmishes would be tricky. But...."
The queen sat in silence, thinking for a short minute.
"The men were likely expected to return later tonight. After this they'll rally their forces. This will take two.... maybe three days, as the country hasn't warred in about fifteen years. And another day to march. This leaves us with about five days, at the most. And then..." she smiled, softly.
"They'll try and take my castle. And that's right were I want them."
She leaned forward, and explained.
"When they launch the siege, they'll set up an encampment outside our walls, and attempt to starve us out. Maybe they'll pass an occasional raid team through our walls, but considering my situation, it's unlikely they'll put in a serious effort beyond sitting there with a spear and a mug, watching for our larders to run dry. This is good; there's still a fair amount of food- not as much as I'd like after your soiree, but still a fair amount."
"Now, we know we can defend a siege. But, we're far enough out that to the south and southwest there are a handful of lords who remained neutral during the coup. This plan is in two parts." she explained, raising two fingers.
"First, the defensive team will spend our five days preparing for the siege. We'll gather as much food, arms, and arrows in the keep as possible; we'll clear the trees outside to create a larger field of vision, as well. A hundred men is more than enough to defend this keep. We need to keep their army out in the open. That means all we have to do is keep our walls secure for a short while. Now, the second part..." she stood up, and walked over to Rand.
"Rand, out of all the mercenaries, your words and eyes strike me as... you're the most virtuous, aren't you? The most noble? I admire this in a soldier, and I need someone who can find genuine words to sway someone's heart. I need you to take one man- any you desire, and ride South, to those unaligned lords, and ask for help. Promise them land- Eowen's land, if we win. Let them know I can get them more if they stay at my side. If an army circles around and launches a surprise attack, they'd be caught between our future allies' spears and the arrows from atop our walls. Like cornering a deer." she said aloud.
"Here are your orders: Prepare our defenses, because your lives depend on it. Rand and his partner shall ride out immediately." she called to the men, her face solemn.
"And Rand," she added.
"Our lives depend on your being successful. Should you succeed, I shall grant you a fair reward: knighthood. Proper knighthood, granted by the rightful queen of Arlon. Now ride."
"Now, I understand that it may seem like a good idea to launch a counterattack, but Rand is actually correct. We lack the manpower to enact a siege.

Posting from everyone is going to slow down because of finals season. Cool your tits.
I'm caught up with essays so I can get a post up this afternoon.

A more productive avenue may be developing the "Custodian" organization, which may be important as our characters' overarching organization. I think we can all agree that it it's a multinational organization dedicated to global defense by collecting, organizing and supporting exceptional individuals, but what else can we figure out about it?I personally see it as an X-COM-esque organization, run by a council of funding nations. As well as recruiting and maintaining the "Custodians" themselves, it has numerous in-house engineering and scientific research projects, with the intention of strengthening "baseline" global defense. The overall goal would be that our characters would eventually be only a last-resort crisis team, if not unnecessary altogether, rather than the first and last line of defense against global threats. Or at least, that's the stated intention. Perhaps they intend to instate a new world order using their advances in science and technology? Perhaps, perhaps not, but it's plot potential.Continuing my queries, what would the structure of the organization be? Paramilitary? Governmental? Corporate? Where would the base of operations be located? What constitutes a threat great enough for our characters to be deployed to intercept? How are our characters deployed, and what are the other logistics of the organization?All questions that would be good to answer.
It's probably an international organization created under the UN with leaders, crew, and funding coming in from the US, Japan, England, China... basically any major nation.
With that in mind, we likely answer directly to the organization's director. But the director answers directly to the world's leaders. We'd actually probably be kept under super close watch specifically to avoid agents going rogue.
