Bio: Colton is a former member of Blackwater PMC, and a veteran soldier as such. He was born to a Ukraine mother and American father, where he finished High School with a little trouble, and then finished his general education at Hendrix. After that, his life took a big turn when, after a short problem with money, he desperately signed on to Blackwater, who was looking for recruits. He toured Iraq, where he gained his signature Gas-mask, Iran, Afghanistan, and even so far as Libya, before finally settling back down with enough money to get him by with a modest living for the rest of his life. Also of note, he has a strict disbelief in aliens.

I'm back guys, no need to beat me. Here is my character,
Player name: Lyzin Locrian
Name: Spear Master Bakuur
Species/affiliation: Yautja
Age: 346 years
Height: 8'4 feet
Appearance: Pasty yellow skin, somewhat wrinkled, dreads are long and somewhat grey in colour, has several spine like hairs coming out the side of his head and around his chin, dark red eyes, essantially like that predator at the end of the first avp movie who gave Alexa a combi stick
Weapons/equipment: Combi stick that can extend to a length of ten feet, Predator IR detection mask
Clothing/armour: Phoenix armour, a dark red cape that hangs over his left shoulder
Biography: Bakuur is old, very old. In his time he has seen more hunts than anyone in the dark blade tribe, and as such, also has the largest collection of trophies. Not even Payinde,the clan leader, can match his knowledge of the hunt, nor his deadly skill at excuteing it. Indeed some believe that he should be the one in charge, but he is content with pursueing honor and glory as the clans Spear Master, and has no further ampitions other than that. Despute his age, Bakuur has lost none of his strength or speed, but his time fighting against death has not left him unscathed. He has many old battle wounds that can act up on occasion, but he refuses to have them treated, saying that they remind him of his past hunts. Thanks to his knowledge of the hunt, Bakuur has been left in charge of training the youth of his clan, a job which he truely enjoys. It was Bakuur who had sent three of his intiates to find Kanak, believeing the mission to be safe enough for the inexperianced youth. When he heard of their deaths he was outraged by this treachery, Kanak had turned against his people and such a thing could not go unnoticed. He felt that simply bannishing him was not enough, that he should be hunted down and killed for such a heinous act, but Payinde said that Kanak was no real threat to them anyway, and ignored his plees. Bakuur, who felt the deaths his intiates had to be avenged, set out with three new youths, who had finished their training, but had yet to recieve their rite of passage into manhood. He has now arrived on earth, and his goal is simple, kill Kanak.
And just so you guys know I didn't make it up, here is some stuff on the rank of Spear Master:
Description
Among Predators, the Spear Master is recognized for its superior combat agility, mental focus, and dedication to craft. A Spear Master is one with its weapon, wielding it with a sublime grace seemingly impossible in the imperfect world of practical reality. It can keep a single enemy at bay indefinitely, send a horde of attackers hurling backwards with a single blow, or assassinate prey by surprise with a single, perfectly placed impalement attack.
Default Weapon - Spear (Combistick)
The Spear Master wields a single weapon - its spear. It is exceedingly sharp and resilient, though it does not have the armor-cleaving abilities of a wrist blade. The spear's advantage is that it can parry melee attacks, smacking aside claw and tooth as if they were hardly relevant. This only works on less skilled or smaller opponents, however - a sweeping Ravager hull blade simply cannot be stopped by a creature as small as a Predator no matter how skilled it might be.
Characteristics - Whirlwind Battle Method
When a Spear Master is surrounded by attackers, it executes its whirlwind battle method. This sweeping, spinning attack lands a blow on each enemy around the Spear Master - a blow of sufficient strength to parry most attacks and send smaller targets flying. However, it requires a fair amount of room to execute without causing collateral damage, so the Spear Master refrains from performing it when too close to more than a handful of allies.
Characteristics - Impalement Battle Method
If the Spear Master attacks an enemy while undetected through cloaking, it is able to deliver a critical strike of unmatched strength. The Spear Master relies on its extensive training to deliver a deep, impaling blow in a way that sidesteps its opponent's armor entirely. Whether through an eye slit or a soft juncture between chitinous plates, this blow often kills its opponent outright.
Characteristics - Phoenix Armor
As a rite of passage, every aspiring Spear Master must kill a Vy'drach (Phoenix) with only a spear. This winged beast lives in the infernal deserts of the Predator homeworld, surviving hear and radiation strong enough to bake most life forms. If the Predator kills the Vy'drach, its hide is fashioned into armor its nemesis wears for life. Like the Vy'drach itself, this armor is uniquely resilient to fire, energy, and radiation.
Characteristics - Conductive Recharge
A special armor-working process applied to the conductive vessels in Vy'drach scales enables the Spear Master to recharge its energy supply when struck by fire or energy-based attacks.
Characteristics - Lightning Reflexes
The Spear Master is quick enough to strike leaping Facehuggers mid-flight. This knocks the Facehugger away and often kills it in the process. While a Spear Master's reflexes are quick enough to protect it from any number of uncoordinated Facehugger attacks, they cannot protect the Spear Master from being overwhelmed by multiple Facehuggers attacking simultaneously.
I'll be gone a few hours now, comment on in and I'll get back to you when I can.
Tali'Zorah: I appreciate what you're doing here, Shepard.
Commander Shepard: Well, I care deeply about the quarian people.
Tali'Zorah: It's good to be back on the Normandy.
Commander Shepard: Let me know if it's too quiet for you to sleep, and I'll find you someplace louder.
Tali'Zorah: Hmm.

Hey Shas, sorry to bug ya, but I made some adjustments to my profile to better detail my character...if ya'd be so kind I'd appreciate it...
Spoiler:
Player: WARORK93
Name: Kanak "The Skull Taker"
Species/affiliation: Yautja/Bad Blood (former rank of Elite Brawler)
Age: 237 years
Height: 8 feet
Appearance: Black scaled skin, heavy scarring along his body, one across the face that goes through his right eye, black dreadlocks with several braids and totems decorating them, many small trophies and honor markings attached to his armor and body.
Weapons/equipment: elite plasma caster, ceremonial dagger, Chakram (smart disc), custom xenomorph tail whip, dual brawler wrist blades (Custom blades that are significantly longer than regular ones), arm mounted shuriken launcher, Predator mask (elite, honor marked)
Clothing/armour: Blackened, customized and honor marked predator elite armor
Biography: Kanak used to be an elite predator, an honorable warrior of the Dark Blade tribe, he led a pack of hunters like him over the galaxy searching for honorable and dangerous kills. Over his many long years he claimed many trophies for himself and was one of the most successful of his tribe. He attained the rank of Elite at a young age and specialized in his favored weapons; wrist blades. He became an extremely swift and dangerous hunter, his many kills often not knowing they were about to die by his hand until the very last moment. His reflexes and fury were unparalleled amongst his peers and he claimed much honor and glory in the eyes of his tribe. Eventually though, Kanak became bored hunting other species, his privileged lifestyle having become dull, and he began going down a darker road of the glorious hunt. He took his own personal ship to the human world of Earth without warning or notice to his kin and there stayed, watching and waiting until in the year 1972, three predators of his own rank were sent to find where he had gone and why, upon hunting for him, they were in turn, hunted by Kanak who took all three of their skulls in the most dangerous and fulfilling hunt he had ever been on. He was outcast from his tribe but Kanak didn't care, he had taken the forbidden trophy and claimed his own twisted version of honor.
Now exiled from his people, he stalks the earth, looking for more and more dangerous game to provide him trophies and entertainment.
Banging my head against the wall cos I made a typo while hacking the Matrix
Good silyboy, stay on topic, here you go...
... damn school blocking system, can't see pic!
Okay guys, working on thread...
... and this can serve as the discussion thread, if that is alright with you guys...
Oh, and I just wanna say, glass, this will be the first appearance of aliens in the earths history, sio I'm afraid your guys couldn't have already seen them...
... unless, they were hired by Weyland to get into the ship to retrieve some eggs...
... that would directly tie your Mercenary group to Weyland corp.

Great RP Lord of Dakka
Don't mess with the Kaiser!
"It's not what you do, it is how big the explosion is, and the people you kill allong the way that makes it all worthwhile," The Kaiser
Appearance: Pasty yellow skin, short dreads, bright yellow eyes
Personality: Impatient, cocky, twicthy, stubborn
Weapons/equipment: Plasma caster, two chakram(smart disks), a pair of small (three quarter foot long) wrist blades,Predator IR detection mask
Clothing/armour: Predator body armour with no chest plate, black loin cloth
Biography: Ch'hktar is impatient and inexperianced, two traits that Bakuur does not value. Despite Bakuur's best efforts, the young Yaut'ja retains these traits, a fact that does not sit well with Bakuur. Altouhg Ch'hktar shows some promise in the hunt, especially with his dual chakrams, Bakuur believes that if he can't learn to be patient, then he will never learn how to be a hunter.
Name: Hijuk
Species/affiliation: Yautja, Unblooded
Age: 59 years
Height: 8'5" feet
Appearance: Pale green skin, various scars across his torso, very musculer even for a Yaut'ja, dark green eyes
Weapons/equipment: Plasma caster, a rather large ceremonial knife, a single long (three feet long) wrist blade, a chain whip,Predator IR detection mask
Clothing/armour: Predator body armour with very large shoulder pads, a piece of string around his neck
Biography: Hijuk is the largest and strongest of Bakuur's trainees. His natural toughness and brute strength make him a worthy foe for any, but his straight forward methods and his eagerness to get stuck in have proven to be a henderance for him. With training and experiance, Bakuur believes Hijuk will be able to overcome his aggression, but he is unsure if he will be able to in time.
Name: Kv'vat
Species/affiliation: Yautja, Unblooded
Age: 55 years
Height: 8'3" feet
Appearance: Pasty yellow skin, one eye is dark red the other is light blue, short tusks
Personality: Intelligent, patient, humble, loyal
Weapons/equipment: Plasma caster, combi stick, acidic net launcher, incredably thin razor sharp lasso (as seen in avp), wrist mounted spear gun, Predator IR detection mask
Clothing/armour: Predator body armour
Biography: Kv'vat is Bakuur's youngest pupil, but he seems to be his most promising one. Kv'vat has proven his dedication to Bakuur and his commitment to his training on many occasions. He is always glad to learn from his mistakes, and Bakuur is proud to teach him. Kv'vat does not wish to specialize in any one skill, he wants to master them all, and based on the amount of time he spends training and learning, Bakuur believes that he may just do that. In many ways, Kv'vet is much like a younger version of Bakuur, not nearly as skilled, but quick to learn, and a lot of potential.
Well that took longer than I thought it would, oh well I really like them.
Shas: Is it OK if my characters target is the Weyland Corp headquarters? I won't be investigating anything, but I'll be trying to kill an Alien that got loose in their and never found it's way out... that might summon Alpha... that might attract Kanak... which will draw in Ch'hktar...
