Recruitment : Warrior Caste, Mercenary campaign Options

[HobbeGoblin]

I just grouped people into broad groups Frater

[Kiedo]

Wow looks like snipers are a popular choice, maybe Jack could have a dual role in the group just so he's still useful if the team is in tight quarters, and there is no room for a sniper rifle, though Jack's weapon of choice and also what he'll be using to snip, is an assault rifle, somehow 1000 meters just seems greedy I'm happy with my 550, or 605 if hobbes lets me have my uber rifle.

[Whizbang]

Shotgun is the weapon of choice here when outside of his vehicles. :)

Faisal can be a generalist merc. Faisal's concept is primarily scout, much like the Chavez character in Tom Clancy novels. So as much as he is a stealth character, he also can also do CQB.

[Johnson]

Ahhh a change off plans I can get to work on my medic now.

[Geko]

I withdraw from this. Not that my submission was noticed. :)

[HobbeGoblin]

I guess i did miss it. Sorry about that, it wasnt personal I just forgot to put it in the post.

[HobbeGoblin]

I'm planning on upping my number of players from 5-8 to, 8 to possibly as many as 12 players. Non posters are subject to be combat losses unless you post in the ooc thread about absence.

[mallet]

When we post our characters, do you want just the BG and then the sheet PM/emailed to you later? Or do you want both posted up here?

[HobbeGoblin]

Just the BG for now. I'll ask for sheets to be PM'ed.

[Nikoli]

How we standing so far?

[HobbeGoblin]

I'll have my final answer about who's in tomorrow. I recieved some really great backgrounds even if i forgot to mention them. Tonight would be a good time to re-evaluate those overspecialized Mercs out there. I can't logically have 6 snipers and 3 regular Merc's.

[Nikoli]

Just remember, you can't be a sniper without the rifle skill.

[HobbeGoblin]

you could try...you'd just end up looking like a jackass.

[Kiedo]

Why, don't RPG's and assault cannons have a longer range, you just wouldn't be a subtle sniper.

Hey did you get my background I had a little trouble emailing it to you, and you didn't respond so I was wondering...

[Reign Maker]

My concept

[ Spoiler ]

name: Screams at Wind
Race: Ameri Indian (Sioux)
Archtype: Rigger/Griffin shamanic adept
Role:Small Unit Air Support
Im thinking attack copter with sky spirits to make me concealed and fast, raining down rockets, lead, and spells. Willing to split the cost of a fly ass Eurocopter Tiger if another rigger is picked too other wise probably an upgraded wasp or yellow jacket

Background

[ Spoiler ]

Screams at Wind looks of at the Merc Captain next to him at the bar, then turns back to his drink. "The dragon tooth, no I can't sell it is worth to much to me."

The Captain snickers, "All right lets hear it...thats what I am supposed to ask right how did you get the tooth why is it worth more to you than half a million nuyen?" He waves the bartender over, "get me another, and one of whatever the fly boy is drinking.. this is probably gonna take a while."

Screams at Wind chugs the rest of his rum then waits for he bartender to bring his new drink before starting. "The bomber jacket give it away? .. The fly boy comment?" The Captain nods. "O.K. well it is kinda a long story, I got to start from the beginning. I'm Sioux grew up in the Nations father was a wildcat and so was I graduated from flight school top of my class. After a year of border patrol I requested transfer to a Desert War unit and it got accepted. The first 2 years weren't bad our unit did well not the semifinals or nothing but well enough to gain honor in the eyes of peers and in our nation. We even kicked the crap out of the Azzies the second year... thats when the trouble started."

The Captain eyes light up a bit, "Desert Wars huh? The Big Show I haven't gotten to go yet but I follow it like all mercs do." Again the captain orders them a round of drinks.

Screams at Wind looks a little insulted by the interruption but then shows a slight grin at the captains new peaked interest. "Well yeah it was a fraggin route that second year took them out first round. It was the next year..."He had been nursing the first drink the captain bought him and now he had 2 in front of him. He spins the glass in his hand slowly then downs one right after the other. "We didn't meet the azzies till the Sweet 16. It could have been just another good old fashion battle but NOOO, fragging ratings were dropping for the match cause of the previous years rout. So the generals confer for 2 days and then agree to spice it up standard gel rounds but each unit would get 2 elite squads that didn't have to be declared till the battle started. Well hell we brought in 2 black ops squads figured we would surprise um and take out their command day one or two. you know what the fraggin Azzie general picked." Screams at Wind throws one of the empty glasses against the wall. "Barkeep another one and make it strong", He yells. "2 squads of Feathered Serpants.... no not 2 feathered serpants 2 SQUADS. 8 of those FRAGGERS per Squad" The contempt in Screams at Wind's voice is obvious.

"How the frag you gonna take out a feathered serpent with gel rounds huh....well thank god the Sioux never slouch on magical support. But hell if by the end of day one we had no mages left no aritlary left and we had only managed to down 9 of em. And they were killing us Literally ripping us apart!! So much for gel rounds standard rules. Well we surrendord and started our withdraw from the battle but one of their Wizzworms decided he was just gonna bring down one of our medical evac chopper and start eating our wounded.. I ..I.. couldn't think i just rammed that Fragger with the copter. He died but so did Flying Hachet my gunner I lucked out and just needed a new pair of eyes and a cultured leg. So now I'm a courtmarsheled Merc with a new copter and out of work. So no half a mill aint cutting it chummer." He glances at a group of men leaving the bar and a wicked smile crosses his lips. He stands up and draws his tomahawk and pulls out another dragon tooth. " I'll give you this one if you help me scalp those 4 off duty jaguar guards."

Both men get up and head out the door. Hey no one likes an azzie!

I will be creating the OOC post shortly. The first post by each of you will be a roll call to see if youre still interested, and to place your vote for team karma pool. It is an all or nothing type thing.
