It's a nice enough gun, but what's with the grip? You'd need massive hands to wrap around it completely, and even if you could the handguard would keep you from getting all your fingers in place.

In all fairness, I would cut it down, but I can't gimp.

[Tiltjuice]

Ooh, I think I got a decent idea.

Watch this space for further applicationaments.

Class:Hunter
Name:Tine Lorenzen
Rank: Sergent (OR-5, compare USMC Sergeant/USN Petty Officer 2nd) OR Marinespecialist (OR-3, compare USMC Lance Corporal/USN Seaman); depending on age/experience etc.
Age: 28
Experience:

• III Reconnaissance Battalion, Guard Hussar Regiment, 2011-2017
• Slædepatruljen Sirius, 2017-2019

Height and Weight: 5'6" 131 lbs / Appearance 1 and 2

(with model and photographer listed on linked page per photographer's stock rules - noncommercial use)

Family: Mother in Copenhagen, at the Kastellet as part of Forsvarets Efterretningstjeneste (Defence Intelligence Service); father in Odense
Shortlong Bio: A patriotic nationalist influenced by her mother's service with the Royal Danish Army and later Danish defense intelligence, Tine knew from the beginning she wanted a disciplined service career, either in the police or military. Her mother indulged her, but raised her to keep her eyes open and feet on the ground, warning that the life was not for everyone. The warning fell on partially deaf ears as she saw her father earn commendations in the course of his compulsory national service with the Royal Life Guards at Amalienborg Palace. Deciding she wanted a chance to experience that glory, she enlisted in the Royal Danish Army as well after her mandatory schooling. Basic training was a relative breeze; she'd always been someone who believed strongly in keeping a healthy body and mind. It helped that she regularly hiked through the national park near her father's home in Odense with his encouragement.

As part of ISAF, working alongside Americans, British, Bahrainis and Dutch, Tine took part in combat operations in Afghanistan's Helmand Province, such as 2009's Operation Panther's Claw, and protection detail for the province's civil aid/reconstruction team. Her deployment continued on through 2017 as part of the ISAF's successor. During the 6-year time span she twice earned the Defence Medal for Wounded in Service and once the Defence Medal for Excellent Service for single-handedly saving a trio of aid workers and two critically injured members of the RDA's Hunter Corps from Taliban ambushers disguised as Afghan National Policemen. On her return home, she was honorably discharged. After decompressing for some time, she set her sights on becoming the first woman to pass Sirius Patrol's selection course and succeeded.

Shortly after finishing her 26-month rotation with Sirius Patrol, she was approached by Athena Program recruiters and accepted their offer.

Weaknesses:

• A strong tendency toward solitude and aloofness; she didn't get along with her patrol partner, but being that they were the only two humans, there was no help for it. 26 months of off and on disagreements led her to be standoffish and reserved.
• Apex predators, especially polar bears

Skills: All of these, except the shooting course, because OP said something about marksmanship not counting. (On the other hand, if you stick her in the tropics, the desert, the jungle, or pretty much anywhere except the tundra, Tine is clueless.)
Likes: Popsicles, hot cocoa, nature
Dislikes: Over-cautiousness; condescension and chauvinism
Tastes: Cod roe, fried herring, æbleflæsk (pork fried with apples). Danish cuisine in general.
Hobbies: Ballet, ski/snowboarding.
Languages Spoken: Danish (fluent) English (fluent), Dutch (passing), Pashto (passing), Gulf Arabic (halting/limited), Estonian (halting/limited).

• All five episodes of The Walking Dead: Survivor Stories, in which I served as a co-OP
• All ten parts of Personification Life, where I am also a co-OP

Discipline: 9
Devotion: 7.5
Riskiness: 6

Don't be silly, Pluto isn't a planet.

When did Vancon specify that the bar needed to be placed around a planet? He could place it around 2014 MU₆₉ if he likes.

There's Cong, science-ing it up.

If the Spec Ops are no longer going to wear the suits on missions can we still wear them for when we really need to blend in?

Yeah, you don't need to wear the suit at all times. If you feel like blending in would be better, then it's not required. I feel like you should still be packing some kind of kevlar underneath.

Shy, effective coilguns are gonna take a long time to achieve. If it's just a different gun that fires 7.62, then we're getting somewhere.

I thank you in advance.

[The Armed Republic of Dutch Coolness]

When will the mission start?

[Vancon]

When will the mission start?

I'm waiting on the spec ops people. They have something on the table atm. it's now just a matter of time.

[Rob Halfordia]

Huh. I should probably stop putting the OST together and app up in that case.

I'll be patiently waiting, then.

[Vancon]

Just FYI, not everyone is going on the mission. This way other people can work on their character development.

Ladies and gentlemen, the gears are now in motion for the next mission. Now we wait for the spec ops guys to start it off.

The people going on it are the following:
-Dutchy
-Ben
-Kry
-V.B.
-Cym
-Cong

With Brusia as the IC for the mission. How you guys go about things will be up to him, with input and very general guidelines by yours truly.

I've only glanced at Combat Engineer for now (gee, I wonder why I chose to look at that first). Firstly, it looks totally awesome. If we decide to err on the side of awesome, then it's great and we should keep it. If we decide to err on the side of realisim, however, I have a few problems:

• He's not wearing a backpack or anything more than a small belt for carrying tools, explosives, and such, all of which I will probably have a lot of.
• He's got some big neck armour ring thing that looks heavy. My guy isn't specialised for front lines, he modifies the battlefield behind the scenes, so he'd probably trade heavy armour for carrying more gear.
• I could make some complaint about that helmet and depth perception, but it just looks too awesome for me to criticize it.

I'd say we should err on the side of realism, so if you'd like I encourage you to find something better. Maybe he can bring a duffel bag or something. I'd say the armour would be worth it since for all you know the aliens could hunt you down.

Again, if you have a better pic somewhere along the lines of what you're seeing now (this is towards anyone), do feel free to prepose an idea.

[Rob Halfordia]

I say fuck realism. Dat shit looks awesome.

[Vancon]

I say fuck realism. Dat shit looks awesome.

I'm trying to find a happy medium between the two.
