Hmm... It seems everyone wants the one character that is bigger and badder than the rest. Just tone it down a bit. No Uber miltary knowledge. Let's just say your character is tall. There's nothing wrong with a tall 7 year old, guys. Just so long as he isn't as strong as a 13 year old.

I dont want character bigger and badder, I want one unique. Because of how I think and the fact that this is halo I always get geared into a scientific chain of thought about weapons and biological stuff... I aint gonna make my character retarded or have only half muscle control or something.
SpadeKing when I was seven I was taller than most 12 year olds. At 12 i was 6'2", 15: 6'4", and I am 6'6" now at 20.
LF I said he was adept not a master. I knew how to fieldstrip and clean every firearm in my house before I turned 10. I said my character was taught these things, but not for how long. You assumed it was after the move. Also I said equiment, meaning a Marines Standard issue gear, not weapons or vehicles. And All facets of Marine Corps life covers the PT, schedule, and everyday life of a Marine. And for future reference I have no idea what you mean about simplifying anything. I have only read SW and RG's Profiles.
I always take a part of me and put it into my characters, so please don't mistake this post as bragging. I am simply explaining myself to you and some of your misconceptions.
I understand, but a military weapon is usually more complex than a hunting weapon, and they are all very, very different. I dont think you had 20 odd guns in your house. lol
And I doubt you were taller than most 12 year olds at 7, most 7 year olds dont reach my waist while 12 year olds hit my chest easily.
First of all, I NEVER said he was Trained with all weapons, thats your assumption. Secondly, the example I used about the Weapons in my house was to illustrate what being raised around and taught at an early can do. The weapons are a substitution for Military PT, and Equipment Training. (again when I say Equipment that does not mean weapons.)
Lastly, I don't have to prove to you that at seven I was taller than most twelve year olds. I know it to be true so I don't feel I have to prove anything. BTW if you think I mean Taller by many inches then your wrong. I was slightly taller not alot.
I never meant to be hostile, and yes I know learning things at a young age helps, a lot. It makes self innovative learning process as well as stored facts.
And yes, I made several assumptions based on what I've seen at KMC. I've run into a lot of people here that's character with your sheet would know how to use all weapons and vehicles, so I decided to figure out whether I would respect you or think you were a unrealistic RP beginner. Guess I got what I hoped for ,I respect you.
Go back a few pages and look at my charcater Jason Khaine, subject number Omicron or something like that. He's the type to knwo how to use a lot of weapons, but he was conditioned since birth and trained since he was 2. The earlier you start the more effective it is, by a huge ratio.

Okay its settled ^_^ His character is no weapons expert. He simply knows a little bit about them due to his fathers lifestyle? And he's not asking to be a gaint, he just wants to be tall. I dont see a major problem there. As long as it doesn't turn into godmodding(which im already sure it wont) His character is perfectly acceptable.

And thats EXACTLY why your not rping that charcter! lol, That's just too over the top for the Spartan III's. Everyone one of them is an average kid with near perfect generic markers.

Thanks, LF. I am sorry if I seemed like a noob, or even hostile. I maybe should have went into more detail in my profile, and been more specific.
I don't think of myself as a good RPer or a bad one. I am somewhere in the middle. More good than bad though.
And LF it is people like you that help weed out the potential Thread ruiners so keep on trucking good buddy.
