Today is another hot day doing a good job of melting the will to work out of me, and forcing me onto this forum.

For an easy exercise to keep me occupied.
I'll be making some cards via html and css.

Think of a starship troopers or the Aliens Colonial Marines type of group.

Make your character for the squad :
What is there weapon of choice?
ie assault rifle, flamer, shotgun , the big guns from Aliens? etc etc
You get to pick one and create your own if you wish.

What is your choice of side arm?
pistol, revolver , dagger, machete , sword, chain sword?
Remember this is sci fi'ish so describe it and make your own type up if you wish.

Do you prefer fragmentation grenades or stun grenades or TNT! ?
Your primary type of thrown explosive. pick one or make type up to you.

What kind of uniform they got on?
Fully tactical black ops teched to the max ?
Some cargo trousers, old boots and a banolier?
You choose / create.

What is your role?
Are you the comms person with radio and techy cool stuff
Are you the odd ball who juggles with grenades because you know lots about explosives?
Are you a typical squaddie likened to Hicks?
You choose/ create.

You got a background?
Were you in the Penal system and got out and chose this life?
Were you press-ganged? (forced into service by force)
You wanted to do your bit and catch up to that hot chick who now fancies a guy with more money, better looks, great future prospects and outranks you forever?
You choose / create.

And anything else you can think of.

Callsign: “Ghost Marker”
Primary Weapon: Modified loyalty. It promises high output but fails under real conditions. Reliability not included.
Sidearm: Tactical Excuse Deployment Unit, or TEDU for short. Fires off well-timed justifications and the occasional sob story about having to leave OT. Comes with a built-in guilt suppressor.
Explosive of Choice: Ego Charge. Only activates when there’s an audience. Precision detonation, no accountability left behind.
Uniform: High-visibility swagger with zero armor rating. It’s more about optics than function. Tactical straps, no weight carried.
Role: Public Relations Forward Scout. Builds bonds when convenient, goes radio silent when the favor comes due. Highly trained in ghost ops and selective memory.
Background: Drafted from the Social Clout Corps. Rose through the ranks by severing ties at just the right moment. Rumor has it he earned his stripes by unfriending a teammate mid-mission to win favor with the ranking officers. Motto: "You understand, right?"

You can make up the details, but my weapon is going to be a large deep space installation called "Moonbreaker 1", which houses over 1,000 cluster bomb torpedoes with pinpoint accuracy. Unfortunately due to ionic radiation storms, I'm going to need someone on the ground to get close enough to tag the primary target for me.
