Appliquation:
Name: "Sergeant Harlowe, or just Harlowe. Folks who know me well call me 'Tommy.'"
Age: "Twenty-six, believe it or not."
Rank: "Like I said, I'm a Sergeant. You'd be surprised that folks get surprised to hear that I'm a sarge, but you don't look surprised that folks would get surprised. You'd be even more surprised to know that my happy ass - until six weeks ago - was a Staff, until I got into a little 'fender-bender' during a patrol. Y'know, if I got a deadline and a track, then two or three water buffs ain't gonna stop me."
Gender: "Uh...duh?"
Appearance: Tommy.
Personality: "Do I seem like the 'soldierly' type? Is that even a type? What's a soldier supposed to be; some guy with a gravel voice who charges in head-first? That's what the hippies back home would say, but when it comes down to it, I'm a stark contrast to that bit I just mentioned. I'm an easy-going fella, a disposition you won't find too much in these parts. I expect my crew to know their shit and be able to do their job in the face of dangerous distractions. If you can fight (mostly) sober, then we're golden. Wanna smoke pot and drink smuggled beer when we've got some deet? Do it, but don't overindulge. I might be easy-going, but I'm not stupid."
"When it comes down to it, I care about my guys. Young folks don't need to be killing and destroying what's around us; we were pretty much raised to hate war and destruction. Pretty fucking ironic that we're fucking doing that shit now, when we were swearing against it as kids. So, when some brasshole comes down here to tell me that we can't drink, or smoke, or fuck, or have a good time whenever we're on the safe side of the wire, I give the affirm, but we all just keep it outta plain sight. You gotta be locked-on in the field, but after that, what's it worth to take a little break and let the piss out, right? I'm hard when I need to be; if you didn't pick up the knowledge to work in a fucking flame-track, then you're gonna be an issue until you learn - and you're gonna learn quicker when I'm sorting you out. Other than that, I like it when my guys talk to me, especially if we're cooking shit on the back-burner."
"I sound pretty 'anti-war,' right? Well I'm not 'anti-war;' I just dislike the shit outta this war. My pops was a fighter jock when the Neds came back in the thirties and forties. Gave his fucking life for 'Ole Lib, and I'd be honored to do the same. But what the fuck are we doing here? They say we're fighting the Reds, but all I see are a bunch of slant-eyed motherfuckers in black PJs. This ain't our fight; it's up to Indochina to fix its own fucking problems without needing any of our blood. When it comes to war and patriotism, I'll be first on the line - grumbling if I don't necessarily agree with it, but there nonetheless."
Likes: "What do I like? Let's see, a cold beer ain't bad after slogging it through a fucking monsoon. It's funny how much I can like and enjoy something as mundane-sounding as that. When you're a Marine, you learn to love the mundane. Normal food, too. I like pot, when I can convince myself that it's safe enough to get more than a little high. I like women, and for whatever reason, the darker the better. I'll sleep with about whomever, but them tan and dark mamas, I'll make an exception for any day of the week. Reading ain't too bad, either. Been reading some S.E. Hinton here recently."
"In a weird kinda way, I guess I like the wilderness out here. For all my admittedly casual racism against this place, it's breathtaking when death isn't looming behind every leaf and bush and tree."
Dislikes: "I'm not a hater like my own folks back home, but I'm prejudiced. I don't really care for black dudes; look, some brothers are cool and I know two or three that've saved my ass, but I don't owe the vast majority of blacks anything. Same goes for these Vietnamese assholes. When you brawl with guys of another race, you get a bad taste in your mouth every single time you're around them."
Skills: "What do you think? I'm the fucking commander of a goddamn Marine fire-track. It's a literal fucking dragon, in every sense of the word. It breathes goddamn fire; seeing a jet of burning napalm streaking through the greenery of the jungle, burning everything in its path and around it, has to be something indescribably terrifying to be on the receiving end of. Thank fuck that I'm not fighting this track. I know how to work this thing; I can drive it, spew flames and melt skin, direct the driver, keep the engine running, pump fuel into both the track AND the flame tanks, and ensure that the vehicle does not consume myself or my crew. It's not as easy as it sounds, but you get used to it."
"Being leadership at the team level, my dumb ass has to make conscious tactical decisions. For example, should I direct my track towards the enemy bunker and risk taking a mouthful of Cong rockets or dick-level Gaul mines, or do I hang back and lay down fire from my torch and my M60 with the ground-pounders backing me up? I was always cautioned against taking big chances, way back when I was learning my job. Yeah, we're fighting goddamn peasants, but those peasants dig into the land, and they can hit us without even being nearby. This ain't the Fifties, anyways. You gotta take in every available element quickly - and make a decision that always comes with consequences."
"I might work a track, but I know my way around a piece, too. I went in as a line grunt, back when we were toting around M14s and BARs. Gotta say though, I'm loving the 16. I can shoot that thing accurately standing, prone, or even from the turret of my track. Back in the early days of driving tracks in 'Nam, I forsook the 16 for an Uzi that I bought off the market. It takes some getting used to, but it's a dependable weapon for a Marine in my position. That being said, they've issued me a 605-Alpha; basically a 16 in carbine form. Cool shit, because it shoots the same cartridge as the 16. Enough about that, because I'm trained with about every infantry weapon currently in use."
Hobbies/Interests: "I'm into samba, which some of the guys in the unit find off-putting. I'll listen to Zep and the Stones and even Waylon and Willie any day of the week, but when you ask me what I wanna listen to, I'm gonna put on some Astrud Gilberto, Jobim, or de Moraes."
Ability: "I can make some 'Minute-Minestrone' in fifty-eight seconds."
Flaws: "Oh, here's where you start blackmailing me, right? Well, go ahead and get the notepad out and cancel your appointments."
"My body is aging, like reverse-progeria. I'm twenty-six, but I drink a lot and enough that I need an eye-opener and a night-cap - daily and nightly - so that I can function semi-good. Started drinking young, dude. I drink enough now that a sixer of Bud ain't gonna do a thing to me; gotta swing about a pint of Jack Daniels to get myself steady. Do folks know? Sure they do, but you gimme the name of the motherfucker that don't booze up after doing two tours in this shitbox."

I just noticed this. I've read and watched to many stories set during the Vietnam War to not be worried. And because I'm worried, will we be stationed near Hue, perchance?

Name: Phoebe Williams
Age: 18
Rank: First Lieutenant, Strike Witches
Gender: Female
Appearance:Standing at 5’3”, Phoebe is remarkably small for someone in the Strike Witches. Her physique is of a long-distance runner, musculature somewhat hidden though not entirely so. With skin that’s just a little naturally tan one might guess her heritage, and Phoebe’s hair, a midnight black, is kept in a ponytail when on-duty. Whenever not, one might find her with her hair down. Her eyes are the color of fresh-cut grass.
Personality:Aggressive in combat, passive while not, Phoebe takes-on two faces. She finds it reasonable to hunt-down every Viet Cong to have ever existed and napalm them until they’re burnt to a crisp, to bomb the jungles until very, very little of anything is left, and finds it more then welcome for the enemy to come willingly. It just removes the issue of having to find them, she would say. A dedicated ground-attacker, Phoebe holds those she supports, the Marines on the ground, to be the primary mission. Saving them is the important thing and why she is there, after all, and the best way to do that is the removal of all issues they would currently face. This isn’t to state that she dislikes or is incapable of dogfighting; she just prefers the ground. While not in combat she’s far more quiet, keeping to herself if anything else.
Skills:Phoebe’s skilled in taking-down those on the ground from a good enough distance, with CAS being a speciality of hers, and is fully capable of hitting enemy aircraft with her 20mm Cannon. Her skills in defensive measures, while not substandard, are nothing to boast about.
Ability:Get Fucked: Phoebe’s skill is that of the category of “Telekinesis”. She can move her aircraft at remarkably faster speeds than the norm, allowing her to jump into combat with the greatest of finesse along with running-away with just as much grace. Well, perhaps grace isn’t the correct word. Nevertheless, she’s outrun at least one MiG-21 and gotten to the rescue of more than one platoon in the jungle with this trick. At least measurement she’s hit 720 knots. Unfortunately, while this Ability is activated she cannot reasonably turn her vehicle due to fear of the wings ripping off or throwing her from it, and also suffers from extreme fatigue while at this speed. Furthermore, she must accelerate towards the speed regardless, normally at a rate of 50 knots per second per second.
Flaws:Phoebe, in combat, suffers from a measure in close-quarters combat. She’s taken the lessons, true, and gone-through the training, but that sort of thing never precisely stuck. In addition to this she prefers to stay in the back and take her well-placed shots. Remarkably passive while not in combat.
Equipment:- North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco Riding Striker Unit, USMC Aviation Grey
Birthplace: Anchorage, Alaska- 1x 20mm Cannon
- 9mm Colt Commander
- 4x LAU-10 Rocket Pod
- 10x Hardpoints
Phoebe’s Riding Striker Unit is somewhat unique in it’s configuration; hosting two wings, with their respective engines, on a motorcycle-like fuselage, it’s markedly larger than most other Riding Striker Units. Measuring 12 feet in length with a 10 foot wingspan, the design retains the distinctive twin booms extending from the twin engines. A windshield of the sort one would find on motorcycles is also installed on the aircraft. Along the side is a most interesting bit of art. Supposedly she did it herself. Seven Vietnamese flags, small at just 2 inches by 1.5 inches, are listed in two columns alongside the colorful bit of art.
Ethnicity: White - Alaskan Native
Political Views:Overall disliking to talk on politics, Phoebe is a strong supporter of minority rights due to seeing the impact of the conservation system for natives in Alaska. With less parties moving towards that, she supports Republicans as they would be the closest party to move for civil rights. Fully against segregation within the ranks of the military or civilian world. Progressive in terms of her economic feelings due to government aid helping people get-by back in Anchorage.
Religious Views:Phoebe doesn’t really talk on that. In truth it’s due to the fact that she doesn’t quite have a religion and doesn’t want the friction there due to it.
Education:- Northwood Elementary School, Anchorage, Alaska, 1955-1958
Biography:
- Didris Preparatory School, Sacramento, California, 1958-1962
- Joint Witch Training Center, Salem, Massachusetts, 1962-1966Born in Anchorage, Alaska, Phoebe’s initial life was one of unrelenting boredom in most places. She would fish with her father, true, and that was always a fun experience, though after about the twelfth time she went only for his stories. He had such wonderful stories, stories of places that were not Anchorage, stories of his days in Manchuria and Gallia, of when he visited Fuso for the first time. The man had been a traveler in his younger years, a man who planted no roots anywhere and collected memories for a living; that is to say, he planted no roots until he came to Alaska, where he fell in love, both with the landscape and with his wife. In a way, Phoebe came to love the place as well, though she did so perhaps out of necessity. The pictures given to her, in her mind from her father, they were always faded from memory and not as real as the snow and tundra.
RP Sample: Here
They’d go-out, sometimes, in an old little plan to the inland parts of Alaska, to hunt there for a little bit and sell the meat when they got back. She’d prove, under her father’s tutorage, to be a good enough shot. It was all about timing, after all, and though Phoebe found it hard to stay still at times, after the first kill she knew what the reward was for staying still and really would to the best of her efforts. Sometimes a little dance would slip-through. It wasn’t her fault. Honest.
At home she’d go to school in a class of ten kids. It was a small school. Most of the work Phoebe found to be just a bit more difficult, mathematics turning into Egyptian hieroglyphs in her mind and English a slog to get to, to put the words all in their rightful place and to please the teacher in just the right way. Science somewhat came to her, though never fully. She wouldn’t get through much, though, only three years as her powers manifested at age eight. It was a quiet manifestation as they go. She’d play in the water, ice-cold as it was in Alaska, and the water would never touch her. She’d take a walk in the snow without her jacket and not get cold. She was found with dog-ears, once, even. Her parents, rightfully so, suspected that something other than puberty was up and took her to the doctor to get everything checked-out. There they were told the reasoning, the dangers that would be posed if she wasn’t to go to a training facility for Witches, things of that sort. They took her home that night, silent.
That next day, a Wednesday, Phoebe wouldn’t go to school. Her father took her out fishing, like normally on the weekends, and spent the day with his little girl. He told her stories of a starry sky, of his days in Britannia and Egypt, of treading through the desert. Her father didn’t cry, though. One last day, he told himself, one last day with his little girl. They went home and her and her mother knitted a scarf. The following day, she left for a different school, one all the way down in California.
True, she made friends there, but when she went home her parents were not there. Phoebe spent her days studying, for there was no plane to fly-away to hunt and no waters she wished to fish. She spent her days studying and reading, calling her parents whenever she was able to, and learning how to control what she had. Some of the other students preferred the “Legs” given to them, aerial little prop-driven things. She never did take to those, preferring the riding models. It wasn’t something one could place easily, but she rode the damn thing everywhere. Most students like to leave their work and practice at school, yet Phoebe found it to be enthralling. Her practice gave a small edge towards it all.
The course curriculum ended four years later, Phoebe graduating fifth in her class of thirty, and she was proud of it all. A recruiter at the school convinced her that more could be made of what she had done, that simply ending then and there would be a waste of time, that there was so much more potential towards what she could do. She could help people, save lives. She took the lines at face-value, enlisting and going to Salem for training there. It was much the same, though far, far more regimented. Years later, she would be deployed to Vietnam in 1966. Phoebe has been there since.

Phoebe’s Riding Striker Unit is somewhat unique in it’s configuration; hosting two wings, with their respective engines, on a motorcycle-like fuselage, it’s markedly larger than most other Riding Striker Units. Measuring 12 feet in length with a 10 foot wingspan, the design retains the distinctive twin booms extending from the twin engines. A windshield of the sort one would find on motorcycles is also installed on the aircraft. Along the side is a most interesting bit of art. Supposedly she did it herself. Seven Vietnamese flags, small at just 2 inches by 1.5 inches, are listed in two columns alongside the colorful bit of art.
Ethnicity: White - Alaskan Native
Political Views:Overall disliking to talk on politics, Phoebe is a strong supporter of minority rights due to seeing the impact of the conservation system for natives in Alaska. With less parties moving towards that, she supports Republicans as they would be the closest party to move for civil rights. Fully against segregation within the ranks of the military or civilian world. Progressive in terms of her economic feelings due to government aid helping people get-by back in Anchorage.
Religious Views:Phoebe doesn’t really talk on that. In truth it’s due to the fact that she doesn’t quite have a religion and doesn’t want the friction there due to it.
Education:- Northwood Elementary School, Anchorage, Alaska, 1955-1958
Biography:
- Didris Preparatory School, Sacramento, California, 1958-1962
- Joint Witch Training Center, Salem, Massachusetts, 1962-1966Born in Anchorage, Alaska, Phoebe’s initial life was one of unrelenting boredom in most places. She would fish with her father, true, and that was always a fun experience, though after about the twelfth time she went only for his stories. He had such wonderful stories, stories of places that were not Anchorage, stories of his days in Manchuria and Gallia, of when he visited Fuso for the first time. The man had been a traveler in his younger years, a man who planted no roots anywhere and collected memories for a living; that is to say, he planted no roots until he came to Alaska, where he fell in love, both with the landscape and with his wife. In a way, Phoebe came to love the place as well, though she did so perhaps out of necessity. The pictures given to her, in her mind from her father, they were always faded from memory and not as real as the snow and tundra.

They’d go-out, sometimes, in an old little plan to the inland parts of Alaska, to hunt there for a little bit and sell the meat when they got back. She’d prove, under her father’s tutorage, to be a good enough shot. It was all about timing, after all, and though Phoebe found it hard to stay still at times, after the first kill she knew what the reward was for staying still and really would to the best of her efforts. Sometimes a little dance would slip-through. It wasn’t her fault. Honest.
At home she’d go to school in a class of ten kids. It was a small school. Most of the work Phoebe found to be just a bit more difficult, mathematics turning into Egyptian hieroglyphs in her mind and English a slog to get to, to put the words all in their rightful place and to please the teacher in just the right way. Science somewhat came to her, though never fully. She wouldn’t get through much, though, only three years as her powers manifested at age eight. It was a quiet manifestation as they go. She’d play in the water, ice-cold as it was in Alaska, and the water would never touch her. She’d take a walk in the snow without her jacket and not get cold. She was found with dog-ears, once, even. Her parents, rightfully so, suspected that something other than puberty was up and took her to the doctor to get everything checked-out. There they were told the reasoning, the dangers that would be posed if she wasn’t to go to a training facility for Witches, things of that sort. They took her home that night, silent.
That next day, a Wednesday, Phoebe wouldn’t go to school. Her father took her out fishing, like normally on the weekends, and spent the day with his little girl. He told her stories of a starry sky, of his days in Britannia and Egypt, of treading through the desert. Her father didn’t cry, though. One last day, he told himself, one last day with his little girl. They went home and her and her mother knitted a scarf. The following day, she left for a different school, one all the way down in California.
True, she made friends there, but when she went home her parents were not there. Phoebe spent her days studying, for there was no plane to fly-away to hunt and no waters she wished to fish. She spent her days studying and reading, calling her parents whenever she was able to, and learning how to control what she had. Some of the other students preferred the “Legs” given to them, aerial little prop-driven things. She never did take to those, preferring the riding models. It wasn’t something one could place easily, but she rode the damn thing everywhere. Most students like to leave their work and practice at school, yet Phoebe found it to be enthralling. Her practice gave a small edge towards it all.
The course curriculum ended four years later, Phoebe graduating fifth in her class of thirty, and she was proud of it all. A recruiter at the school convinced her that more could be made of what she had done, that simply ending then and there would be a waste of time, that there was so much more potential towards what she could do. She could help people, save lives. She took the lines at face-value, enlisting and going to Salem for training there. It was much the same, though far, far more regimented. Years later, she would be deployed to Vietnam in 1966. Phoebe has been there since.
