Bio

Tobias Leonard Berkowitz was born June 5th, 1948 to Max and Abrianna Berkowitz in the Queens district of New York, where his parents ran a hardware store, with his mother moonlighting as a nurse, mid-wive and care giver at various times. His father's constant tinkering with mechanics and his mother's alternating professions would give young Tobias a path for the future.

Middle school was uneventful for young Tobias but high school was a different story. He was ostracized for being a Jew (among the large Italian population), as well as his shy nature. However, he did meet the girl he planned to marry...Myra Bluthe. Young Tobias planned to enter either the fields of medicine or broadcasting after high school but the draft decided otherwise...

Tobias applied himself at boot camp but, despite exceptional ability at first aid and mechanical understanding, his small stature placed him for training as a "Tunnel Rat" and even more bullying from the other draftees. However, he made his way through the trials and rigors of camp and keeps a picture of Myra Bluthe in his pocket, as motivation for the life he will get to live once this episode in his life has passed...

Tobias will fulfill his duties and follow the orders of any commanding officer but has an inferiority complex for accepting responsibility and is close to the FNG archetype description. However, he is very capable and will perform his duties to the best of his abilities, as it brings him closer to Myra and away from the war. As such, Tobias will try his best to survive, especially in a tunnel, which he has never been in as of yet, outside of boot camp training, but it will be desperation time down there and he will try to bring it.....

No matter how he is treated, Tobias will do his best to help others as his conscious will not take it if he acts otherwise....

Bio

James Bennet wasn't born to be a soldier. As an able-bodied young man, he was drafted before he could pursue his career of choice - medicine. Though he had little time to study, his skill with the human body will be useful... if he doesn't get himself killed.

He's no good in a combat situation, and everyone knows it. If his confidence was shaky before, his time at boot camp all but destroyed it. The only thing he really trusts himself to do is follow orders.

It's a shame, because James definitely has charisma, but he only uses it for telling stories. Mind you, he can spin one hell of a yarn, but he could lead if he would only speak up. The thought of interacting with the rest of the squad terrifies him.

If he survives, his future career is waiting for him back home, and so is his little sister Lisa.

Of course, no matter how much you can bend a tree, there's a point when it snaps. And therein lies the worry - James isn't looking to become a doctor out of compassion. He takes an interest in the puzzle, as if he were working with a machine. Machines don't interest him, though. To him, there's some kind of thrill when somebody's life is in your hands. His anxiety suppresses it for the time being, but who knows what might happen in the jungle?

Thanks, I completely missed that part! That'll teach me to try to read and create my character when I'm sleep-deprived. Here's my second set, and that's a significant improvement on POW. My DEX and CON also go up a few points, but everything else is the same. I'll edit my character sheet.

Funny, I used that same exact picture for Reverend Elliot Franklin in ImpInTraining's CoC game Mr. Corbitt over on Dark and Moody.

Yeah, he sure doesn't look like a soldier Those new guys...

He majored in English and worked in the customer service department. In other news.. Yeah, those customer service agents have a LOT of bones to pick with other people.

Sorry for double posting, but it seems that I can't edit without the computer automatically deleting all the "enter" keys that I have typed in in the previous messages.

So instead, here's the picture:

Excess EDU,I chose the 18 roll and divided the remaining three points over 15 into STR, CON and DEX as required by the rules.

I checked my math and focused my skills at my speciality. I believe all is in order...

Thanks for the picture gallery guys! Now I can set up the sheets in the squad registry.
Error checking and reading up on my part are the next steps.

Consider your characters located at the back of the chopper about to land in the LZ.
Thanks for getting the characters ready.

Over and out!

I believe Tobias is ready. I double-checked stats, corrected and have a sweet piece of meat background going for him...

I updated under the original post to save space.....

Let me know if I'm in the back of that chopper.......

I think I am!.....

Almost done with the character creation. I made your characters part of the reinforcements arriving to Khe Sang, 1st Battalion 9th Marines.


I hope you don´t mind that. And I kind of changed your pictures a little to fit the registry better.

And yes, you are all in the back of the helicopter. Here!

@Kadael, "I need some skills for your grunt, Soldier!"

@Mr Handy, "Where´s your photo, son?! Are you hiding something for me? Show your face private!"

@Seon, "You got the chutzpah private. Keep it up and keep your gun close."

@Pickman, "How old are you son? I guess you´re a rat, huh? Our last tunnel crawler got a trip to the gravers. Welcome!"

No, seriously - you are all in the back of the Huey about to step out. The dust and sand is still making it hard to see anything of the base up close.

The unit is fine with me.

Is there something wrong with the photo I already included in my character sheet? Here it is again:

Oddly it didn´t show in my browser. It just said *image*. I checked the post for the source of the image and now I see it. Weird....
I edit the character page.

@Kadael, "I need some skills for your grunt, Soldier!"

SIR, YES, SIR! Sheet updated.

Good, I´ve closed the enlistment run. Good luck out there!

Regarding posting format:

I´m no writer, just someone with a vivid imagination who tries to weave a story together. Sometimes, what I post will lack congruency and there will be grammar slip-ups. So, bear with me. The idea of the whole pbp gaming experience is the cooperative writing. What you guys put in your posts have the same weight as the things I post. Me being a Swede puts me at a slight disadvantage, hopefully I pass as a relatively decent user of the English language.

Back on topic.

I use Bold face to highlight names. "Blue letters inside quotes stand for speech."

Thoughts are in green italics.

Mostly, I use present tense when posting.

That´s about it. If we all post in similar fashion, the story will have higher readability.

Reporting for duty!
