the .357 Desert eagle? at HIS size he oughta be able to handle the .50AE. Can't kick as bad as a hot-load .44 mag.

But seriously, he's really under-fleshed if you're trying to make a creditable villain out of him. He looks more like the "loose cannon asshole" archetype at the moment. Like The Punisher without a code of ethics.

If you wanna real villan, you need someone who is, to put it simply, unquestionably evil. I assure you that your stated concerns of realism have not yet probed the black depths of the truly twisted human psyche.

[sha]

Mm. Mostly, I think of the .357 because it has better ammo capacity by two bullets, but is still considered powerful and reliable. That's the only justification. Otherwise, what would be standard issue that he's familiar with in the SKU day and age? Are there new weapons available, employed by the military?

Decidedly, he's not familiar with weres and is not a dedicated were-hunter... therefore does not have a full comprehension of pulling out a full-on ass-kicker in the street on a casual sunday. That... is what the other heavy weaponry can be used for. But I think it's too soon. Trying to tell him he should carry silver bullets warrents a funny look for each incident.

Specifics so far: He's tough. He's got an attitude. He has military training. He's unemployed, not by choice.

His most likely field of financial enrichment will come from either being a merc, or perhaps robbing a bank, or potential employment with Monolith corp.

Ultimately, deciding what was his reason for discharge will be the key element. Insubordination. Hmm. Ok. This is where I'd really like some suggestions.

[JP SylvrWolfe]

Your Skills score is too high. Please lower it to get it under the cap. Thanks.

[sha]

Some of these scores could be considered subsets...

If I just say "Explosives" as a catch-all, would you allow that? Seeing as that would immediately bring the point level under control.

Explosives as a single skill, should involve knowledge of most efficient placement per type and per architecture, and moderate knowledge of putting together and removing said explosives as well as an understanding of proper handling techniques.

Ultimately. What kind of breakup would you like to see, if we don't use a condensed skill?

Also, question... 5 is average for stats, and 3 is average competency for skills?

[JP SylvrWolfe]

Alrighty. 5 is avg for Stats. 3 is avg for Skills. Moving to see what the ops think.

[mandapanda]

I really don't see anything wrong with this. He's a mercenary, so having a few higher skills totals in certain weapons is normal.

App 1/2.

Waiting on some input from Ludo for inclusion into the Russian mafia...

[ludovic]

As soon as he'd be approaved, Sasso would probably be quickly contacted by one of the russky mafia's "middlemen" for "work offers to independants". More than likely, it would be one of the agent from moscow that would do such contact, as part of their operation to settle in as well as secure their hold of their new "territory".

[JP SylvrWolfe]

Let's go ahead and flesh out that backstory now, and explain to me why you've got that kinda training in there if you were given the boot for 'Misconduct'.
