Hello Digi byte, its good to see new people around the rpg frontier.

Just to let you know firs,t im not the leader of this RP, so dont get confused and think your accepted from something i say...

As for your character, aside from the little things that are a bit... 'yeah right'(what word would describe that?), with your guys story, i'd say he would be ok

The 'year right' things i'm referring to are:

Pre-Outbreak Profession:
Special OPS;
Blue Dagger, Skilled Reconnaissance and Assassin.

and

Worked in the military since 16 as a sniper


I just sorta lol'd when i saw those, thinking 'here comes another "military background assassin whose been in the army since the age of 2..." type deal'...

Nothing wrong with that(unless the leaders say there is), just not very realistic.
seriously, how many 16 your old special forces snipers are there in the real world?


Aside from that your guy seems pretty cool, this rpg hasn't been to active recently, but maybe it might pick up...
if not then arsencia(a fantasy rpg) has been pretty active, Incurus(a space bandits type thing) is allso a bit active, and my Rpg Dropzone(sci fi special ops rpg) is the next most active, which im looking to try and get more active again.

other then that, welcome :p

Actually, I know a special ops sniper who started at 16. For the reference, he doesn't smoke, doesn't talk in a low voice and have constant war flashbacks going on. He's actually a very normal chap, but with a liking for guns.

Anyway, I'm also not the leader of this RPG, but I can lend weight to SWG's points about your character. I would also like to point out that he meant 'Icarus', not 'Incurus'. Icarus is one of mine (there's a link in my sig).
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Yeah, it'd be nice to get this RP back up and running. Oh, I ain't one of the leaders either =P

I read that many soldiers have been created for this RP and didn't want to create another Rambo/terminator type of character.

But I wanted to create some one who was from the military or had some sort of special training, I wanted him to have some sort of reconnaissance skills and sniping usually goes with that, He's a melee character and doesn't have much skills weapon wise like SMG's and other normal weapons, so he really specializes with knives, camouflage and sniping.

What would be nice is to have some sort of character sheet like..

Life: 80 +25
Armour: 25
Close Combat: 60
Knives: 120
Pistol: 20
SMG:25
Rifle:50
Sniping: 70

and so on... But I'm not sure if this exists already or what not.... let alone which part in RPG is still alive.

Whoa... thats sorta cool, and lol@'for the reference' part... thats always the stereo type isn't it? you hit that one on the nail there :blink:

And sorry about the spelling mistake, i dont know if i bumped the key or hit it without thinking, but either way: opps sorry.

Well this really isn't necessary. A forum RPG is quite different to a board game or computer game RPG.
Ppgs on forums are more like a 'group storytelling' with your own characters. So you dont need a sheet with 'points' on it and stuff...


Its still fun though, if you enjoy unleashing your creative side :)

We learn more about your character's abilities by what he does in the story, not by statistics. That's what it's all about here. There have been a couple of stat-based RPGs, but I can't think of one that's worked out except for Earthen Conflicts, and that was only because it was essentially turn-based C&C with an omniscient mediator, as far as I could tell.
I hope I am a good enough writer that some day dwarves kill me and drink my blood for wisdom.

Its often best to keep things basic. Any way I guess I'll wait around here and see what happens.

I'm not to keen on playing with the FF style of RPG, If there's mugens I think I'll barf.

I have no idea what that last sentence meant, but other than that, accepted. I understand your want to make your character good at stuff ;)
I'd appreciate it if you could put in a short history of how he's survived so far, just in basic details, as the survivors have been fleeing for a good couple of months now, I think, and the virus had been out for a month before the start of the RP.
Of course I don't look busy; I did it right the first time.

Well I had the idea that he was beaten and sexually abused at home so he left and lived in the army, and that makes hims somewhat fragile to human connection. But I don't know if that would upset RPG'ers.

No, that's cool, just so long as you don't go into any graphic detail :p
Thanks for backgrounding :crazed:

I wasent going to go into detail on the abuse side but i actually put a bad history behind him, so he's some what anti-social and doesn't get intimate with others.

I dont know what it is but he's one of those ppl that rely on military strictness, and from that he's comes across with a cold attitude.
