Post up soon.

[New Grestin]

Just about two-thirds of the way done.

[New Grestin]

Alright, posted.

Since Tayner hasn't responded, I'll move things along with him and Jen manually if he hasn't posted by tomorrow.

*That moment when you forgot to pull outpost*
Oh shit

I'll post tonight if i can.

[True Refuge]

I've been feeling sick for the last couple of days, so I haven't been able to assemble the motivation to post.

I'll see how this illness goes .

[Ximea]

I'm back. I'm a little surprised there hasn't been more since I left, but that at least means I don't have as much to catch up on.

I'll try to post today or tomorrow.

Yeah, everything's gotten way slower since summer ended. It's just life I guess.

[True Refuge]

Woot.

I finally managed to write a response

ohhh come on man... can't you make an exception please? I really want to be in this RP

[New Grestin]

Those are the rules, sir. Too many military characters already bouncing around.

Semi-Closed simply means that we're more inclined to be pickier about applications. If you're willing to rework the application with a more interesting angle, then I'm willing to hear it.

so am i accepted? He's not exactly military, but police

[Monfrox]

Calm down there, skippy. It's only been 22 minutes.

[Wallenburg]

so am i accepted? He's not exactly military, but police

Just a note from my perspective: He really doesn't need all that gear. I sent my character in with little more than some food, a handgun, and a radio, and he's still mostly in one piece.

Also, if we accept your character, you'll probably want to figure out a logical reason for him to encounter the main group. We're quite some distance away from Mesquite now, and if I'm not mistaken, Mesquite has been mostly destroyed by Zone anomalies. My suggestion would be that he start out in Dry Lake or somewhere nearby, as we have recently been there.

Thanks. I'll keep that in mind and change his gear.

A word of advice: we're generally trying to avoid total badasses. If The Zone were a movie, it wouldn't be action, it'd be horror. A top-shelf shooter and krav maga expert doesn't sell horror well, because you don't really think of a person like that as being vulnerable.

Your character can still be a good fighter, but I'd only give him one major strength - say, krav maga or marksmanship, but not both. I'd also give him a reason for that skill that doesn't immediately paint him as a badass. For marksmanship, he could have been a competitive shooter, or a gunsmith/dealer who shoots a lot to get a feel for a good product. If you want him to be a brawler, you might replace krav maga with competitive MMA and sell him more as an athlete than a killing machine.

Just felt like I should say this, but you're a pretty cool dude. Never seen someone take criticism on their character like you have, so kudos to you man.

thanks. I really kind of want to do a bioshock type of story line with my character, some weird twist with the girl he's searching. Also this "Church" thing i read in the anomalies list, any idea whats it about?

The Church is an anomalous organization that worships a mysterious leader, the Black King. It's basically a huge organized group of monsters, with plenty of resources and manpower behind it.
