Why oh why didn't I take the blue pill.

The last few games I have run I put up a lengthy set of rules about character creation and sorts. I find that no one tends to read them so I am going to forgo this here. What I am looking for is preliminary level of interest. This game is not a go. If there is enough people interested then I will run it.

The idea:

Tir Ghosts. That's right. You are the elite of the elite. The Seals Team Six of the Tir. You are Ghost Team 1.

Obviously you would all be elves. I will do character acceptance a little different then I have in the past. You will not be applying for the game, but a role in the game. Like actors in a part. You will of course get to make the characters, but you will make them for a specific role. Without further a due, here they are.


Team leader/Face (Captain)

Light Weapons Expert/B&E (1st L.T)

Heavy weapons expert/Demolitions (Staff Sergeant)

Longrifle/surveillance (Spec 4)

Mage (Hermetic) (Warrant Officer 1)

Rigger/comm. expert (Warrant Officer 2)

Decker/Infiltration
(Warrant Officer 2)

I don't want anything wonky, no albino elves. Every character must have a thorough background explaining how they rose up through the Tir military ranks to achieve Ghost status. No ex shadowruners, or criminals, these are all strait shooters.

I am harking back to the days of yor when I was in the army and I am going for as realistic military feeling as I can.

The officers (LT and Capitan) should be no older than 22 and 28. The warrant officers should be no older than 30. The Spec 4 no older than 22 and the Staff Sergeant no older than 26.

One last thing, whoever applies for the team leader will not only be scrutinized for their character but also them as a player. I will need someone who is willing to take a serious role in this and help keep the game alive.
