If things get real bad and you have to resort to cannibalism remember: Vegans first, they are the closest thing to grass fed.

⚘ A Brief History
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
I've been at this a long time and when I say a long time I mean a long long damn time. I started out with table top, ADnD, back in the 80's, then dived into others: Nightlife, Mage the Ascension, Shadow Run, HoL, etc. Moved onto Online in the 90's. I've been running various incarnations of a single RP group for twenty years now. Worked helping setting up, building, and/or admining/modding various RP forums over the years: Adventure Quest, Priston Tales, War Gods, etc. It's been a long road filled with ups and downs. I'm an evil GM, you've been warned.

Outside of RP, I am a mom. Yup, I've reproduced and there are little Lady A's running around plotting their own take over of the world. I am a published author and once upon a time an award winning poet. I've done a lot in my life. I haven't done as much as I would like. I've grown a lot. I have a lot more growing to do. I love to cook, baker by trade currently. I went to university and majored in Mathematics. I've programmed websites, worked as a model, worked as a 3d modeler. Shit, I even used to dance. And have been known to sing a bit. Jack of all trades. Master of like 3, lol.


⚘ Looking Inside
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
This is where I go into my personality. In the past I would normally make some self deprecating remark about how I am a bitch of a GM, pushing my rpers as hard as I push myself and so forth. Not anymore. People change, or perhaps they just come into their own. This can happen at any age. More than that it can happen several times over the course of your life as you discover and rediscover yourself. Everything happens for a reason, usually that reason is ones owns actions. Or inaction's. Right now, I am in a better place than I can remember being in the longest time. I am happy and at peace. I have no regrets. Maybe I should but I don't. I plan on keeping this peace I have found, I went far too long without it.

Currently I am enjoying several things. Some are things I have enjoyed most of my life: Coffee, chocolate, bacon, M*A*S*H. One isn't something I have enjoyed since I was seventeen: being clean and free of poisons in my system. It is beyond description and I love it: One-hundred and twenty days and counting. Music taste is shifting to more mood oriented than anything, strange I am finding a lot of newer Country I am enjoying and I have NEVER liked country. Watching things like Lark Rise to Candleford and being hooked to the point of reading the trilogy. Recently added yoga to my workouts and all I can say is, "Fuckmaste: the fucked up in me accepts the fucked up in you."

Premise


Life is hard, it is harder when you get older. Doesn't seem to matter which profession you may have chosen in life, eventually you hear those immortal words; "It's a young persons game." Then you are out the door and wondering what to do with your life. That is hard enough if you are in the world of business or medicine; it is even harder when you were trained to kill. What in the hell are you supposed to put on your resume?

Skills:
  • Knife Throwing
  • IED's
  • Stomaching MRE's without my ass blowing out


I mean if you aren't applying for a position as a local NRA weapons cache gaurd, you don't have a lot of options left in the civilian section. It isn't like you can go up to the local Wal-Mart and become a greeter. I mean, seriously, can you imagine the reaction if you were to walk into the door and were greeted with this?



Yeah, unless you have a few screws loose you would probably turn around and walk away as quickly as possible; grabbing your child's hand, telling them not to stare at the strange man, and praying he keeps downing whatever firewater he has in that flask instead of turning his attention towards you.

Only real option is to keep doing what you have always done; and done very well! You need to kill people; not that you like killing, okay maybe you do a little, but you aren't just going out and killing some ass that cut you off in traffic. You are actually going after bad people; really bad people. You need to blow shit up; because most problems can be solved with the proper use of C4. You need to be behind the wheels of 5 tons of hard core steal and titanium, barreling balls to the wall right into the center of hostile territory and popping out the top like a damn stripper out of a birthday cake; unleashing your wrath at anyone and anything in your path.



So grab your guns, your knives, your explosives. Pack up your MRE's and lucky charms. Ready yourself and climb aboard. You are who they call when they need a job done but want it off the books. The ones when they think they have no other options left. Sure you are older, your joints hurt, you're checking the status of your 401k and AARP keeps sending you mail but damn it, you still function! You might be expendable in their books but you ain't going down without a fight because when the shit hits the fan the most dangerous person out in the battlefield is the one with nothing left to loose. That my friend, is you.

    • I do not accept no inspiration as a reason not to post
    • Keep up with all IC and OOC posts
    • No word in IC or OOC after 7 days = your character got killed doing whatever stupid screw up I decide (In other words, you're out. Telling me what is going on after the fact won't cut it and won't get my sympathy.)

    • Minimal 2 posts between your last
    • Know your personal posting limitations before applying to join
    • If you cannot post, you must contact the GM and make them aware, you will be granted extra time to post (do not take advantage of this) - I realize real life comes first but you know your schedule better than anyone, if you join it is your responsibility to keep up and not hold up the rest of the Rpers
  • Spots are not first come first serve
    • Gm will review completed CS first
    • Gm will review previous Rp's and posting habits
    • Gm will then notify you if you are approved
    • Character deaths will happen, no one is safe - it will be randomized and you will be pmed when your death approaches. (This does not mean you are out of the RP, it will mean however you need to make a new character should you wish to continue - I recommend having Back Up Characters Ready)
    • Gm is looking for highly dedicated RPers only, not just people who want to Rp The Expendables or an Action RP. I do Kick for Post Rule Breaking.
  • You may use characters from previous RP's
    • Previously used characters must be redone to fit current CS sheet
    • Previous RP relations are stripped clean
    • Once Cs's are approved, relation sheet will go up and must be completed and added to CS
  • Read through Rpers Guide To Etiquette to know expectations of attitude in this RP both of yourself and of the standards your GM holds herself to.
  • Rules and Cs sheet will be added to and changed as need be depending on problems or points that come up.
  • Under Extras in your CS please post a link to a post you have done in the past to show you have read the rules. If You submit a CS without this I will decline it and it won't be able to be used even if you edit it in later. (I'll check to see if you just copy and pasted.)
  • Special - To New Comers To The Guild - PM me your personal thoughts on posting responsibility to show me how you feel on the matter so I can better gauge you as a potential Rper here. (Again, if you submit your CS without this I will count it as "unusable" and you will be declined.)




Character Sheet


@Charnobylisk Caesar and Alicia will most likely be charactering it up - I mean fuck, Caesar is already a walking Expendable with his resume. LMAO
@POOHEAD189 Oh and remember you character cannot speak Hindi, so what was said to your character in Hindi is going to leave you dumbfounded and not knowing what the heck was said.
@Legion02 That works for me.
@Legion02 Yeah, that'll work. I can just have Claire hand Cass the keys - Claire has spares of Tas's - so the girls can take Tas's car since their things are in the back of it anyways.
Sure thing, ^_^ Figured it would be easier that way instead of people trying to guess what time it was in RP.
@Universorum Cool, list what you feel is best and if you want, go ahead and list the rest - it may be a lot but it looks like the group will be breaking off a lot of the time for this and that - since they don't all have the same interests - may give people some ideas on what to have their pair or trio to do when out and about. I say chose a couple of larger group activities and we can try to arrange them throughout the trip to bring everyone together for a bit and then let them break off again.
@Charnobylisk Sounds good and will do. I am posting approximate times in my posts to try to keep everyone on the same time frame. So even if I don't mention someone, just check the header for time passing.
