Pan Asian Amercian Coalition wrote:[Class:Rocketeer
Name: Edgar Allen-Montgomery
Rank: Corporal
Age: 32
Experience: WA National Guardsman, 3 years. ATHENA Operative, 5 years.
Height and Weight: 6", 180lbs
Appearance: From his official Nat'l Guard records. Strong, athletic build. Small scar on this right temple.
Short Bio:
Born and raised in the American Pacific northwest, Edgar was raised in a suburb of Tacoma with his two sisters. Being the oldest, Edgar was the first to leave for college and pursue a degree in mechanical engineering. To help pay for his expensive education, especially considering that his four year younger sister was taking the same math classes he was taking in high school in 7th grade, he signed up for Reserve duty. Seeing his money would not hold out, he transferred to full time military while he worked on his degree towards the side.
Weaknesses: Easily tires in the heat, hates flying, and can be abrasive in conversation. His familial situation is a massive sore spot, and it is best not to mention it.
Skills: Extremely good shot with most varieties of heavy weaponry and remains calm no matter what. Good listener, licensed SCUBA diver and has a MS in Mechanical Engineering.
RP Example: Really old
Sorry if these kinda suck, I haven't been in to many RPs.
Likes: The military, tanks, history, tanks, tragic literature, Russian novels, video games, Godzilla movies, the internet, science, imperialism, cartoons of all nationalities, soviet propaganda posters, metal/rock music.
Dislikes: Internet web filters, the stock market, people who talk too much, deserts, cheap mustard, extraterrestrials, hippies, the color pink, sea anemones, pandas, poetry.
Hobbies: Enjoys coffee art (foam and paper), skiiing, scuba diving and drawing.
Theme Song: Three Days Grace - Time of Dying
Discipline: 7
Devotion: 10
Riskiness: 8. Has a tendency to attempt 'trick-shots', such as skipping rockets off the ground and is far to 'trigger happy' with hand grenades.
Languages Spoken: English. Can say "I apologize" is seven languages.
Tastes: Takoyaki, soba, spaghetti and meatballs, fried squid, pickles, vegetables, sloppy joes, and artisanal hotdogs. Favorite: steamed Chinese pork buns. Doesn't drink alcohol.
Voice: Sounds extremely similair to the vocalist.
Family: Two younger sisters; Isobelle Allen-Montgomery (18) and Melanie Allen-Montgomery (16). Whereabouts of both is unknown.
Personality: Haughty, abrasive, and a with a few loose screws, although is quieter than he used to be. He is completely honest regardless of situation, never says he can do something when he can't, and has a frankly bizarre sense of humor. Edgar has been compared to a "social landmine, that sits there until some poor mother{REDACTED} steps on it. Great fun if you're thick skinned, and loyal to the point of idiocy." Results of personality test.

Class / Role:Assault/Psychologist
Name: Anka Jezdimirovic
Rank: Private
Age: 20
Experience: Some Foreign Legion training
Height and Weight: 6'1, 166
Appearance:
Appearance
(It's also noteworthy that she has a dragon sleeve tattoo on her right arm)
Bio: Anka was born in Belgrade, Serbia, to parents that had lost almost everything in the Yugoslav conflicts all those years ago. That didn't stop Anka from overachieving, though, as she used her combination of book smarts and street smarts to get by, setting up a business selling stolen goods when she was in high school. She went from stealing cheaper electronics to taking jewelry and more expensive items, and she made enough money to pay others to do the work for her. By the time she was 18, she had made enough to pay for part of her tuition to go to UC Berkley, in the United States, majoring in political sciences and minoring in psychology. Unfortunately, a complete and utter inability to focus on schoolwork led to Anka's grades dropping severely once she reached college and was faced with more challenging things in school. She barely did well enough to stay at school, but when she was nineteen years old, she decided to call it quits and move to France, enlisting in the Foreign Legion with hopes of getting French citizenship(by spilled blood). The training was tough, and even though Anka was doing well in the physical part of training, she still wasn't able to focus and this led to her not making the cut. Athena, however, contacted her later and offered her a job, which she quickly accepted.
Personality: She's a sociopath, definitely, but that's not really apparent. Nobody truly knows Anka except for herself, not even her close family and friends. She's more extroverted than introverted, but she still has a hard time staying with friends because of her lack of emotion and empathy for others. She believes strongly in decisiveness, and she's extremely competitive(one of the reasons she has a hard time making friends), and on the D&D personality scale, she would probably be a chaotic neutral.
Weaknesses: Undiagnosed ADHD, not good at hand to hand combat, (very) socially awkward. In addition, she's bi but keeps this a secret, to varying degrees of success, adding to her awkwardness.
Skills: Intelligence despite finding it hard to focus. And street smarts.
RP Example: I made one of the RPs this is based on, so...
Likes: Serbia, Russia, psychology, winter, alcohol, athletics, music
Dislikes: Cal, Kosovo, heat, schoolwork, Germany
Hobbies: Athletics, traveling, photography, shooting things
Theme Song: What else were you expecting?
Discipline: 3
Devotion: 5
Riskiness: 7
Languages Spoken: Serbian, Russian, English but not fluently
Tastes: Anything from back home, as in Serbia and the greater Balkans area
Voice: This here
Family: Her parents are back in Serbia, she doesn't have any siblings to speak of
EDIT:
I feel like she might not be suited to assault because of her ADHD, I might switch the class to pilot

Accepted - interesting idea. Didn't plan on getting the Sea Mice involved in a big way, but who knows?
Post is up, but figured it'd be odd to have Emilie respond to everyone individually - also might have to start brainstorming ways to start knocking off NPCs >:D And another thing worth opening up for debate: psychic powers and augmentations. So, those are things in the world, and silly ol' me neglecting to include them in the app. I could backtrack and add the option in retrospectively, or we could make the argument that they were never really developed fully in this timeline.
Personally, I'd shy away from the full mech-style used in Xcom, if only it defeats a lot of the sneaking-around-trying-to-survive part of this RP, but other than that I'm fairly open to the idea - after all, they're established in the world anyway. What are your guys' thoughts? Should we just stick to good ol' flesh-and-blood hummies, or allow apps with psychic or physical augmentations?
Should probably add a poll...
Edit: By 'established' I mean that they're really only available to the major foes and allies of Athena (as well as the organisation itself), and kept just as classified as the existence of aliens themselves. After all, news of government agencies making cyborg soldiers and fiddling with peoples' brains never tends to go over well.

Thinking of pilots, I'll probably change the other character I'm going to make to pilot class.
It would be cool to have a list of the aircraft used though.
