War and peace.

Schaft and Fox

I am not a medieval military historian, so I'm not sure what soldiers back then went through. In addition, most books detailing pre-gunpowder battles tend to focus on tactics and weapons, not so much on the participants (not the grunts anyways). With that said, a lot of my inspiration came from the experience of modern soldiers. The Things They Carried, by Tim O'Brien, is a great reflection by a veteran. This novel really gets the struggles of a veteran trying to adjust to civilian life, and the comradery he missed.

Eugene Sledge wrote about his journey from WW2 to post-war America in his two novels, and portrayed in HBO's The Pacific. Interesting thing about Sledge was that he distanced himself from the military when he returned; this guy avoided veteran reunions until thirty years later.

As for the combat mentality, Evan Wright's Generation Kill (and the TV series) describes it pretty accurately. I also took pieces of Wright for Madura's character.

Well, plague victims tend to have a very high K/D ratio.

@Dervish

Only if you count teamkills.

Differences between characters is good, helps define their individuality. Cheery circle jerk 100% of the time gets boring.

While we're talking characters, I got an exercise borrowed from Hank's RP. What does your guy or gal think of everyone else? Make a list of opinions and update it to your sheet's relationship section. Keegan's is in his sheet.

Edit: After the latest ballots...

Execution (2), imprison (5), send her out against Kamals (3).

Voting closes on Mar 5th, 0000 PST.

Edit 2: Just checked on UESP, the proper name is "Gray Quarter", not "Grey" or "Quarters".

@MacabreFox The three of you is enough to turn them around. The Dawnguards were really on the fence, pretty much 50/50 either side and only went over because their boss dude was trigger happy. Putting him in his place does the job. They'll let the vampire go, for now.

I would get a response but Dervs wanted in too. So we'll a bit until he posts or backs out.

The mobile version of this site is dodgy at times. It was playing tricks on my mobile devices yesterday, but works fine on both phone and tablet right now. Try clearing the cache of your mobile browser and restarting the device, that might clear up some stuttering issues.

Upgraded the title again. Not done yet, still have room for improvement.

The Insidious Night

A solid 5/7 effort.

Despite not being a participant of this game, I would still like to applaud Derv's sheer dankness.

Damn, that's pretty fast.

@MacabreFox Left it vague on purpose. Go show 'em who's boss.

@MacabreFox I would like to see the tears of life flow. Do it.

@Dervish

@MiddleEarthRoze Forgot to include it in IC update; Sylvy gets a arm cut off. Should I edit my post or you add it in yours?
