(AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HNNNNNNNNNNNNNG

Yay. Gun pr0n is best pr0n. I'ma probably add some gunpr0niness to Chalk outta boredom later-ish. He was a one-man squad, after all. One six-shooter and his fists probably couldn't take on a whole group of bandits.)

Name: Derek
Age: 28
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Weapons: (prepare for gun pr0n) S&W MP10 with custom multirange scope, Model 28 6.5" barrel, Browning Hi Power in .357 Sig, 1911 in .50GI, sawn-off Chiappa Triple Threat (only used in vehicle combat), And a Keltec KSG

Backstory: Derek is a legendary mercenary, frequently employed by whoever could afford his few due to his skill. He never talks about his past before he was mercenary. He spends his pay on improving his truck and buying more ammunition.
Vehicle: Named Solid Steel, or SS for short, it is his heavily modified military cargo truck. He has added bulletproof tires,  plates protecting the tires, and has replaced the canvas cover with steel plates. He removed the back wall of the cab so that he could easily access the back. The windows and windshield have been armored with plates and have opening ports to fire through. The center console is modified to hold his pistols and the sawn-off. The front is a large v-shaped snowplow with a winch mounted on the top. In the cargo area he has a rack for storing his guns, an RV Kitchen Unit, a minifridge, and a small cot. He mounted a turret with a Gatling Gun modified with a motor and an improved feed mechanism firing 45-70 Gov't in the cargo area.

((Decided to get a little update in here before the big update. This is an excellent sheet based on gear alone. Accepted. Updated coming in a bit.))

(yup highway is kil, there are no more updates) (Also feel free to do the whole gun fetish thing that Naked Snake did in MGS3 when he got the M1911)

The Raid, Starring: Chalk, Amy, Zaweri, Seb

You fire the harpoon, it pierces the thin sheet-metal hull no problem. You climb the wire one after the other, and you all drop onto a small rail that you climb to the main deck. You can see some windows with smoke rising out of them, it could be a possible way into the fortress proper. But if you're willing to risk it. You could try to climb to the top where the stage and bridge are. You don't see anyone around you.

Deliverance Co. Seba 3, the skeleton crew: Drake and Ivan. Guest Starring: Derek

[The Highway Theme] Carpenter Brut- Anarchy Road
Code: [Select]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk3n-CkQao8
As you see your squadmates board the rolling fortress, you release the hook and begin to pull away. Suddenly the radio crackles and you hear a fellow Deliverance Co. member on the line! "Jesus Christ, we're taking some heavy fire here. He got by two of them damn buggies, James is hurt bad and they're trying to board. We need back up!" You see another RV burning up, black smoke trailing out behind it as it tries to flee the battlefield. You could spin around there to attempt to save them.

Meanwhile...

Derek: You were waiting for the signal. A single flare that would be shot up, illuminating the battlefield in a pale red glow. But it hasn't come yet. You've been waiting outside your truck for a good hour or so, watching Deliverance and Crazies' vehicles getting shredded apart, gasoline guzzling out of ruptured fuel tanks only to catch fire and burn the fields even more. You begin to wonder if there will be anything left to fight for once the battle is finished, and if the burnt lands are even worth killing The Crazies for.

But it doesn't matter, you're getting a hefty paycheck that would last you a good while for this crap.

You should probably head down into the fray and take out a few cars. Maybe protect their CO's car, maybe get a bonus for doing so.

Broke Caravan

"You really need something tha- you know what. I think it might be a good idea to bring that.", Joshua comments on you bringing your grenade launcher. You trudge through the snow up to the cave's mouth. Once inside you all switch on your flashlights. There's small pockets of snow inside here, with dirt mixed in with the snow. The cave's ceiling sits high above, with sharp ice sickles gently swaying in the cave's breeze. Its colder then you could ever imagine in here, you begin to shudder as a chilly breeze passes through your bandages.

"Alright, so Jove's mysterious benefactor said that he left us a rope to climb down somewhere overrrr.... there.", him and Mordecai head over to the elevator shaft, give the rope that was left there a good few tugs. "Seems stable enough. Might be best if we head down one at a time."

"Hey uhh, Isaac you wanna head down first?", he asks shining the light over at you to get your attention.

Drake,Derek,I think we should just help our team,noone else.Noone knows what kind of people they are. says Ivan wisely as he sits next to the window,and starts to look around his team with his sniper.

Isaac shrugged and holstered his grenade launcher. "If you hear gunfire or explosions come quick, something's probably trying to eat me." And with that he started descending the rope.

Amy looks at the others, then shrugs.   "So, uh...   Which way?   I mean like, I'd prefer the roof, but I'm me so that's probably a bad idea.   I like this thing.   It looks cool."

Derek, tired of observing the raging battle that was turning into a massacre, took a look at his contract. He read over it, noting how his first and most important goal was neutralizing the fortress. He thought to himself Fuck it, I want to get paid. I'm not gonna wait for a flare that will never come. He hoped in his car, pulled out his sawn-off, and floored it to the fortress. As he raced towards the fortress, he passed various vehicles from the Crazies and Deliverance Co, taking pot shots at any Crazies. A buggy that drove in front of him was devastated when he rammed it, sending the buggy spinning. He continues racing towards the fortress, reloading his sawn-off with one hand.

(Jesus, is it really that bad on this board that making the slightest joke about The Highway being dead because I didn't post in a while. Guys updates are slow on The Highway, mostly due to me waiting for everyone getting a chance to post. And then trying to figure out a way to make it interesting to read. After a while writing the someone exploded into bloody chunks gets boring, so I'm thinking up new ways of describing the carnage so reading it doesn't get too repetitive.)

(I'm not ending The Highway, and Iso will be super easy to write since I don't have to juggle around 8 different characters at a time. Seriously, the main reason RPs got canned on Cata was because there were so many being made and everyone was vying for the top spot to stay relevant. Here we got about 4 GMs, and everyone knows everyone. You don't have to be competitive to keep your RP in the top spot because you're afraid your players might move on. Here we got a small community of guys, and a small community of players. There's honestly nothing that will cancel The Highway... well there's always the possibility of this: !!FUN!! but I'm a 18 year old male that jogs everyday. So hooray for morbid humor, and if more posts are made the update will be about tomorrow night or Wednesday.)

Derek observes the fortress, observation being difficult due to the dust from the massive rolling fortress. He observes a ramp and door for vehicle maintenance and deployment, seeing how the door is made of weaker materials then the walls. He lines himself up and floors it, trying to ram the door, knowing the massive steel plow and solid chassis should make it easy.
