**Tyranic Marta**

Name- Terence Blackwood

Species- Human

Career- Soldier

Equipment- Assault Rifle Custom made with built in recoil suppressor and suppressor, Flack Vest, Autopistol, Helmet with vitalfeed and targetting optics constructed for him buy someone who owed him, Medikit, Combat Knife that has seen years of use and reconditioning. (Special equipment) Light machine gun he fleeced of a hrovan who should have known better. A new model that fires upwards of 35 rounds a second and certainly chews through ammo. The light mass reactive shells are filled with a flammable chemical Terance has found is exceptional for incinerating the lesser forms of shaped.
Backstory/Bio- Terence is dead. He has been for centuries. He was placed in Cryogenic stabilization when he was 23 in the year 2013. Legally, hes dead. But praises to heavan dont say that to his face. Hes been awake for 10 years now, and hes more than used to his life as a soldier. He doesnt socialise, he doesnt even pay attention when people ask him how he is. Not to the grunts anyway. Terence was placed in Cryo against his will. He had a life, a family. He was happy. But he was forced to watch his wife and child murdered. He was shoved into a cryogenic tank. And sealed in. He froze with his fists pounding on the glass and a note on his chest. Written by the men who killed his family it said. "Dont wake me up."

Of course the doctors ignored the note, they were ordered to wake up all the frozen form that century, it wasnt as if he would survive. Not with that much head trauma. But he did survive and when the doctors woke him up his first screamed word that the current century heard from him was his wifes name. JESS!!!

Since that day he has distanced himself from ordainary people. Preffering to live his own life away from the social circles of the galaxy. Hes afraid hell fall for someone else. Afraid that the memories he had of his family will be for nothing. He spent the next ten years training. Before he was frozen he was a soldier. A member of an elite special unit for terrorist hunting in Britan.

When he woke up he decided to keep doing what he did best. Killing. Recently he has been approached by several members of the local government of his subsector and been asked to join a special unit. His memories of the old days strong in his mind he readily accepted. There were more people who needed to be on the wrong end of the trigger.

These days his Jacket has a sewn in flak lining and his pants are lined with clips of ammunition. His dark brown eyes and hair almost seem to meld with his tanned skin. His mouth never smiles, unless hes pulling the trigger.

Motivation- Trying to escape the memories of his past. Hes used to this new age. but that doesnt mean he likes it.

Best Quality- Pure skill, hes trained himself to ignore pain and hardship scince he was a kid. Here in this new age thats even easier with the biological strengtheners he had been taking for ten years. Now hes as hardy as an ox and his trigger finger is still perfectly timed.

Worst Quality- Hes cold. So cold that most people cant stand to be around him. Nothing they say or do can get him to like them. This means that he makes friends... very very rarely. There are a few people he can cope with. But they are the people who genuinley care. He gives them the time of day because they remind him of home.

Quote- "Nothing can save you from death. Trust me, I know."

**Tyranic Marta**

Check my special equipment

**yeroc500**

Wait so now being here longer makes some one better. Thats crap. The GM are to be listened too, not a player, they don`t make the rules. The class hasnt even been officialized. So gimme a better reason to not fight for something I like.

**ineptus astartes**

this is my problem with soldiers having MGs. everyone gets OP instead of someone who is powerful but with downsides.

**ineptus astartes**

yes. the class has not been checked yet. if it falls through (tyranic, you are gonna have to change that) then everything will be balanced.

if Dev's idea is 'agreed' to, then we will have everyone being an MG toting rambo rather than a guy who is severely unmaneverable, but with decent firepower.

**lord commissar klimino**

with age come experience. there better than me to. and i will admit its not all about age,as some people are just idiots.

and i never said dont fight,i said WE SHOULD ALL WAIT ON MORDO!

**yeroc500**

Right, which is a way of saying stop fighting and except the fact that you probably will lose. I will not wait without argueing. And I agree with ineptus completely. We don`t need a bunch of arnolds and rambos running around. For christ sake at least if it goes through I`m an octopus.
Oh and on the whole with age comes experience. I aint no dim witted two year old. I might not be as old as some of these people, but I read and right above college level, just not in my spelling. So age does not always factor in as a factor.

**ineptus astartes**

are you implying that I am an idiot?

and yes, some guys here (no one on this thread) are longtime dakkaites, but complete douchebags.

ninja'd by yeroc...

ineptus astartes wrote:yes. it would.

(scientists are rear-line guys, they do not have ANY armor AFAIK)

I think I'm our only scientist and I was told I could get an exo-suit

**lord commissar klimino**

...ok? so being an octopus does what? like all of us here you just want your way for your own reasons.

also i check many threads.if your going to insult me and deve have the courtesy to say it to are faces.

**lord commissar klimino**

...wow.you guys are taking this personally? sorry,didnt know that. and i never called you idiots and even said its not always the case.

**ineptus astartes**

did not quite get that (as far as I know we are not MAD at each other, I am not, I am just trying to prove my point)

who were you talking to LCK?

ninja'd

no, you just seemed to be implying something. that is all.

**lord commissar klimino**

i was talking to yeroc,sorry. he insulted us in you guys chaos inc thread.quite amusing.

**yeroc500**

Hey I did not insult you with anything worse than what I had already said. I have called you a NAM rod, and a nim wit. Thats what I called you both already on this thread. I know what talking behind someones back is trust me. I`m not the most popular amongst people. So go ahead and say I`m a coward for telling someone what I was doing. Thank you very much. And being an octopus I have a a bit harder time in a suit. Considering I have no legs, so my suit would be jerky in its walking. Thank you very much.

**ineptus astartes**

maybe it was a missed post?

anyways, we seem to be divided on the subject, why dont we present our opinions.

mine can me exemplified by Tyranic's 'new' equipment. if we allow foot soldiers to carry hardware like that, this is going to turn into 'who can god the most.'

Not if there's a limit to who can carry that type of weapon...

But again, that's Mordo's choice...

**yeroc500**

I agree with ineptus plus I have to add that having a heavy weapons troops benifits are:
Great amount of fire power
Good armor

Disadvantages:
Big target for morale purposes on both sides
Slow
Cumbersome
Cant move while firing.
Outmanuverable by a longshot

**ineptus astartes**

and dont forget vunlnarable to heavy armor and CC from heavier infantry.

**lord commissar klimino**

oh yeroc.your just....funny. im not going to even say sorry that i offended you cause im not.

my idea is just soldier. a normal soldier.who can have a heavy weapon and a small knife. it slows him down alot.no servo arms.no huge muscles like he would have. and he just has soldier armor i guess.maybe a slightly weaker armor.

TBO i barely remeber what it was,i had a 'perfect' idea but it got lost.

**yeroc500**

Thank you I forgot about those. And ineptus about you being a clone, I`m pretty sure we`re not clones. Cuz we might think alike on alot of things, but we have some differences. I pretty sure about that.
Ninja`d

The soldier would be to weak. Thats more down sides. The heavy has a pretty clear idea. Armored, armed, but slow as molassas, and has to stop to fire their weapons. I mean look at devestators, other than the fact that they are space marines. I mean even they to move as fast as a normal troop is a gyro stabilizer in the gun itself, so the class is pretty balanced.

And on the whole insulting thing, I respect everyone here, but if you insult me I throw them back with a few more. I dont sit on my ass and take it.

**lord commissar klimino**

oh,and only one guy per squad can have one.

**ineptus astartes**

joking yeroc, joking

anyways, are you saying LCK, that the HW troops should be in a different class, or not.

**lord commissar klimino**

oh,not. it should just be a soldier with different weapons.
