Honda Takahasi APP

Postby Flarbinia » Tue Oct 02, 2018 11:12 am

NAME: Honda Takahasi
SEX: Male
AGE: 30
IMAGE/DESCRIPTION: Has a top knot. Wears the armor of a Samurai in combat. Wears a kimono when not in a combat situation
SKILLS/WEAKNESSES: Skilled in Kendo and Kenjutsu. Marksman with a bow and arrow. Strict follower of Bushido
REASON/ROLE IN CONVOY: Security
GEAR/BELONGINGS: Katana. Wakizashi. Bow. A full quiver of arrows. Samurai armor. Kimono
BIOGRAPHY: Named after the car company where his father worked, Honda Takahasi was expected to be more successful than his father. However, while he was in college, the plague struck, killing his parents. Honda initially agreed with a group of other students that staying on campus was the best bet for survival, but when they began running out of food and small game became scarce, he decided that taking his chances was the better option, taking his bow and arrows with him. He returned to his parents' house and grabbed whatever he could find, including the armor and swords that had been in his family for generations, before leaving. He spent the rest of the year wandering in search of a safe zone he had heard about on the radio, finding a starving horse tied to a pole. Six months later, he fought in the Fighting Pits of Kirkwood, slaying many foes and attracting the attention of several high rollers. After he won his final battle in the arena, he was approached by Mister Grayson and offered him a job. Realizing that he would no longer be a Ronin if he signed on with Mister Grayson, he accepted the offer. Recently, he has been assigned to ensuring the safety of a Ford F-150 carrying a shipment of silver.

VEHICLE TYPE: Horse
MODEL: Arabian Horse
FUEL SOURCE: Grass and feed
ROLE IN CONVOY: Security

Waiting for another response before I post again.
I use my NationStates stats, because a population of billions/trillions and an economy of hundreds of trillions is totally viable, trust me.
But seriously, aside from the population and GDP, just assume that my NS stats are roughly accurate.

Support: Paleo-imperialism, conservatism, libertarianism, Christianity.
Against: Stupid people, resistance to industrial progress, alt-right, any form of government at or beyond socialism.

Understood. Posting protocol for the nation of Zjaum requires at least two posts in between national posts, to prevent over-exhaustion of the RP and to detect health of the RP.

Timeskip is up. Feel free to finish up any posts, since the convoy hasn't actually started moving yet.

Alright, that's good. Just waiting for either Ihury and/or Zjaum to reply to Brayden and then I'll have my guys set off.

Also, does anyone else in the convoy have a radio on them? Because I figured it would be a good way for them to keep in contact with each other while driving, primarily to let the others know about dangers up ahead or behind them or to let them know they've encountered a problem (i.e. out of juice or a part's failed). It's pretty much why Karl and Brayden decided to stick one in their car.

I'm waiting for the reaction to my offer. I can just say that my post happens after he concludes any relevant business, if that would get the RP rolling along.

Here are some ideas for bandit gang names: the Copper Ravens, the Crimson Cobras, the Bronze Vipers, the Cobalt Scorpions, Sons of Fenrir, Satan's Templars, and the Black Riders.

All of those sound good, especially the Copper Ravens which in all honesty is a cool name all-round. Besides, I might make a bandit character (whether it be a leader or just some random foot soldier) or something like that if Pax is alright with it, probably as an NPC or something.

Also, Flarbinia, I might have Brayden radio Connor if that's OK with you and if no one else has dibs. And if Connor actually has a radio in his car.
