Thom Circa 3095
Character: Thom Frankfurt
Born Warlock, St. Ives Compact, 3028 Age 67 years old.
6'2'' Tall, with wiry muscle, with fair skin and gray eyes a long mohawk that he never puts up only lets it hand down past his shoulders. He has many tattoo's particularly unit insignia's from merc units he ran with for awhile, plus many tacky/trashy tattoos. i.e. lip prints in a kiss mark upon his neck, the word 'HardCore' across his knuckles. A bloody rabbit's foot/black 4 leaf clover/and bent horseshoe with his call sign 'Bad Luck' around them. Methinks that by this time around 85% of Thom's body is tattooed (think Yakuza like)
Typically wears black paramilitary like suit, with a black tie embroidered with the 'Warlock Stables' insignia, (Mickey Mouse from Fantasia) Carries an nakjama laser pistol, a poly carbon knife and a set of brass knuckles. Since the events of the Windborne Raven RP he's grown quite paranoid about how easily he could have been killed a dozen times over, and the paranoia has only grown over the years, so he's still carrying a canvas rucksack with an extra energy clip for the laser pistol and two smoke grenades and two flash bangs. Along with a 1.5 liter metal canteen of water, a few mres (he hasn't checked the date on them yet, but when he does he'll find out that they are around two decades old (yuck!) and a small med kit everywhere he goes.
Thom is a New Avalon Military Academy dropout due to grades and 'conflicting views' with his professors and fellow students (most notably Kai Allard-Liao). Right after dropping out, he went to Solaris 7 to try fighting in the arenas. But when he arrived his X-two time Solaris grand champion father (who also paid for his tuition, and wasn't too happy with him dropping out) gave him a BJ-3 BlackJack and told him that if he didn't have the disipline for school, he wouldn't make it on Solaris. So he left Solaris and joined up with his uncle, Po Spiros...
The two then ran with several different merc units that were unsuccessful. Eventually one of their last units turned to banditry and the MRBC cracked down hard on them and their unit was forced to disband.
Luckily Thom got to keep the BJ-3 because he totally had no knowledge of the bank/jewelry store robbing's taking place on another continet. The Spiros/Frankfurt combo then joined up with another group with the job of garrisoning Pacifica/CharaIII. Uncle Po died fighting repelling a Combine raid in early '49, and since then Thom has drifted from place to place, freelancing himself out where he could, his journey ended up going out to the FRR and the events of the Windborn Raven unfolded.
After the attempted uprising/coup, Thom stayed behind to help rebuild as the other units went off on their own way. As a sign of gratitude the locals showed their appreciation, free meals/drinks here, free tattoos here... But, it wasn't too long before he shifted from helping the locals out to taking advantage of them. After a few disagreements and outstanding bills the locals not so kindly asked him to leave. Catching the first ride out he could find he headed off towards Barcelona in search of the guys he fought the Dalian Guard with.
Landing on Bareclona just in time for the Clan Invasion, Thom found himself right in the middle of the Jade Falcon onslaught. Thom gained much needed experience fighting the Clanners alongside the RAI, Vulkaneer's, Dragoon's, and Skye Rangers, during those few grueling weeks but unfortunately became dispossessed in the progreess. (RIP Swampthing.) RP still in projress, can't go into much detail. Also his cousin/tech Marcus was captured and pressed into the technician caste by the Jade Falcons. (possible adventure hook)
When things became hopeless on Bareclona, he loaded up the 'Achilies Pride' with as many refugees as possible and bugged out on the back of a Rogue's Armored Irregulars jumpship. He then journeyed with them... somewhere. Deep in the black to a little unexplored portion or the deep periphery. To where the Irregulars called home, RAIHQ. Begrudenlly he signed on with the Irregulars and fought alongside them for a couple of year's before leaving to 'do his own thing.'
By 3060 Thom has made a name for himself on Solaris by winning a grand tournement, where he got his grubby hands on the Akuma who's pilot he killed by kicking a field goal with its head as the pilot was knocked out from an ammo explosion. [OOC: True story I RPed that, what can I say, Banchee's kick hard.] I'm throwing out the part where T became Grand Champ, though. We misinturpted the rules for AP AC rounds... and did it wrong. Still he won a nice sized fortune by gambling on himself to win the whole tourney, and was approached by representives to see if he had an intrest in investing in a jumpship company.
Pulling some favors and working for some 'unscrupious merchants' as well as winning himself back into his ailing father's good graces, Thom was able to amass, part legal, mostly not, enough c-bills to start his own merc op!
By the time S&S happens, he's fought in the Capellan/St.Ives war on the side of St. Ives, but after his first few battles he knew that was a loosing cause and left that warzone. He then headed for Outreach to sign up to start his own merc op. (I imagine that there's quite a bit of paperwork involved RP still in progress)
S&S, the Solaris Riots, and the FCCW: Thom and his Terrors returned from the JFOZ and went on holiday on Solaris just in time for Michael Searcy and Victor Vandergriff's grudge match to spill out of Steiner Stadium and into the streets of Solaris. Much chaos and violence ensued as the various MechWarrior stables took sides and fell upon each other, save some independents who dug their heels in to defend a three mile square of the International Zone; 'Warlock Stables' boosted by 'Thom's Terrors.' Over the next few years a more mature Thom spent his time and 'resources' rebuilding Solaris, (the closest thing he has to an actual home) even going so far as to donate much of his private wealth in repairing the International Zone and constructing the Solarian Gladiatorial Hall of Fame in the IZ. (Possible RP setting)
The Wobbies and Ji had: (From Sarna)
Ji had
The Word of Blake invaded Solaris suddenly on the 16th of June 3068, taking advantage of both the chaos caused by the war between the Free Worlds League and the Skye and Bolan Provinces of the Lyran Alliance, as well as the absence of the Com Guards detachment previously assigned to Solaris but which had been recalled to take part in the disastrous Case White operation.[9] The Blakists referred to the invasion as Operation SHOWTIME,[10] and while the Word of Blake forces initially managed to escape being identified, the sheer number of free agents and stables on Solaris quickly led to an underground resistance movement[9] which came to be known as the "Solaris Home Defense League".
Following the occupation of Solaris the Solaris Home Defense League engaged in months of low-level resistance.[11] Initially, the resistance suffered from a lack of resources - particularly ammunition, weaponry and the transport capabilities to move either ammunitions or weapons. In June 3070 the resistance used a number of Savior Repair Vehicles as transport vehicles to move several platoons of infantry and Dispossessed MechWarriors into position to launch raids on a number of Blakist supply caches located throughout the International Zone. Having captured important quantities of ammunition, parts and BattleMechs, the resistance then used the Saviors to move the supplies out of Blakist territory. Although two Saviors were hit badly enough by Blakist infantry to trigger internal ammunition explosions, the CASE systems aboard the vessels protected both the embarked resistance fighters and much of the supplies.[10]
The level of resistance activity changed dramatically on the 3rd of May 3071, when Home Defense League forces launched a daring assault on Solaris City itself, securing the International Zone. This was just the beginning of a campaign to recapture the entire city, and the Home Defense League managed to push the defending Blakist forces out of Solaris City by the 11th of June, although not before the planetary HPG had been destroyed by the retreating Blakists.[11]
In August 3071, the Word of Blake forces launched a blitzkrieg-style assault on the International Zone, reclaiming control of the zone on the 17th. It took until the 15th of October for the Solaris Home Defense League to push the Word of Blake forces back out of the city and into the Reaches.[12][13][14] The Word of Blake forces would finally concede control of Solaris and leave the world on the 11th of December 3071.[14][15]
During the Blitz, DeMarkus Frankfurt, two time Solaris Grand Champion and the man known amongst followers of the games as the 'Infamous Hangman of Tikonov' and more importantly Thom's father, perished. Over the course of the next few months Thom vented his rage upon the Word seizing every opportunity to inflict damage upon the 'Toaster Worshipers'
Aftermath of the Word Assault and Post Ji had
In the afterwake of the Blakist assault upon Solaris, the gameworld was in shambles, with the games themselves often being battled out with argomechs and supped up militarized loadermechs. In disgust Thom disbanded the few surviving members of the Terrors, parted with the Molas Family who returned to their place within the chaotic Free Worlds League, and with his father's mech and cousin by his side, left Solaris in pursuit of more of the Word often signing up or aligning himself with units heading out to mop up the fanatics.
Current affiliation: None though he has loose ties to several merc units, and has learned how to play nice with others since the Clan War. He doesn't particularly like the thought of being Stone's lackey, but working for the Republic of the Sphere has it's perks so he's there. After all, everyone should visit Terra at least once in their lifetime...
Mech: Customized Cataphract 'Pain Bringer'
Callsign: Bad Luck
Deep Background: Thom is actually one of the many illegitimate grand sons of Pavel Ridzik, who we all know was a womanizer. It seems that the Strategic Coordinator forced himself upon a Warlockian girl during one of the Liao family's trips to their Winter Palace. Also, Thom has a fierce hatred for Kai Allard-Liao who he utterly despises for some slights (real or imagined, who knows.) that was done to him during their time at NAMA.
Combat assesment: Brutally effective and opertunistic as always, Thom has proven to have a sharp tactical mind and a natural knack when it comes to the controls of a battlemech. Infact studies and performace evaluations have shown him to land shots from Particle Cannons 12% more often than mechwarriors of equal ability. It is unknown at this time if it is a natral affinity for the weapon, or some time of technological advantage.

if you don't want the snub nose you could easily drop it and the medium laser and throw in an ER for only 2 more heat, albeit at a reduction in firepower.

It's a better 'Phract than I came up with. Like I said, every time I make a 70 tonner it always turns out being a wannabe Warhammer. All in all the config is not bad, but way too many ballistics for me. I'm a 3025 tech boy at heart so anything carrying that much ammo is something I usually shy away from. But from a RP perspective, Thom is only using the thing because it was his dads. Thom likes bigger, nasty, mechs.
I really had a hard time coming up with something that felt right for that timeline with that character, there were too many option available for me to really settle on one thing, so it a way, the config that you threw out there was the easiest option for me. Thanks dude!
But now that I think about it, a blitzkrieg loaded up with a heavy PPC sounds fun...

If you have any sensed idea about how a Marik cadet may have been captured by the Wolf Clan before the invasion.. Please write a post 
I want my character's story and background to match me and my real story in MWO as much as possible. Maybe i shall just write it after the actual invasion and CW to make things get a little sense.
Still, i am not able to think a reasonable reason to make a trip from the FWL to the Periphery or FRR and getting captured by the Wolves

actually you can post it now because when the 1:1 timeline was stopped it was 3050 and so CW has officially in Canon started.
I know but i mean we may join the Wolf's Dragoons when they become available so i would have to change my bio according to it..

I want my character's story and background to match me and my real story in MWO as much as possible. Maybe i shall just write it after the actual invasion and CW to make things get a little sense.
Still, i am not able to think a reasonable reason to make a trip from the FWL to the Periphery or FRR and getting captured by the Wolves

Perhaps something similar to the JumpShip Outbound Light. It was a ComStar Explorer Corps vessel captured by the Smoke Jaguars in 3048 when it discovered their homeworld of Huntress. Perhaps you had signed up for the expedition as a way of seeing the sights, or were involved in a similar Free Worlds League expedition to find lostech caches. After being captured, you wound up a bondsman to Clan Wolf, and managed to fight your way into acceptance as a warrior.

Hmm yes, i recall the Outbound light.. The very ship which sparked the invasion. It could be a starting point, but why should the FWL send a mission in the other part of the Inner Sphere, in teh coreward region? It should have to cross no less than two other nations' space.
Maybe the easiest thing is to wait for CW, join the WDs and tell everyone i dreamed a life as merc in the coolest merc unit in the Sphere, then somehow i discovered the Dragoons' true origins so i was taken as a bondsman to prevent me from revealing anything (who knows, maybe i impressed some warrior or someone saw some potential in me
). I shallut and paste the events of 2013/3050 in the rewinded 3050 in PGI restarts the timeline. Anyway, thank you for your imput!
P.S. What if i say i was born around 2900 and i was in a Jumpship which misjumped and travelled trough time and space right in the Strana Mechty system in 3050?
You know something like that actually happened...

The Dragoon way may be the easiest route to go, Cycloner. The ultra big named mercenary units have a tendency to troll the big military academies with the hopes of snatching a few grads. That's how Dan Allard ended up with the Kell Hounds if memory serves.
That or you can always just go with being some Ex-FWLer that went mercenary and was unfortunate to have a run in with the Wolves...
Very basic and humble bio, my War Orphans character, that Mr. Sparks Murphey allowed in.
Name: Ryan Garratti
Call sign: Bar Be Que
Role: PBI
Gender: Male
Date of Birth: March 5, 3027
Planet of Birth: Thorin
-Appearance-
Height: 6'3''
Weight: 243Lbs
Hair Color: Blonde
Hair Style: Buzzed short, high and tight style.
Eye Color: Blue
Background: I actually wrote up a nice little section for his background, but it seemed more like a family history than a personal history. Ryan and his brother, John were left parentless after a tragic car accident one rainy Winter day when their parents car hydroplaned off the road and into a tree when dad swerved after being cutoff by some drunk driver. Since this event, just a couple days after Christmas, Ryan has come to loathe everything even remotely connected to the holiday. The two brothers were sent off to their mother's brother, their Uncle Gene or G as they called him. Uncle G was an odd sort, a reclusive engineer who worked for the local hydro-electrical plant. The boys then stayed with the strange man, who would often come home in the wee hours of the night, reeking of cheap perfume and even cheaper booze. Often times during the weekend and the Summer months, Uncle would take the boys out into the wilderness. He taught them things, how to fish, to hunt, to live off the land. With a few scant years the two wound spend their entire summer camping out in the ruins of the old University of Thorin, which by that time was overgrown by woods. Fueled by their uncles drunken ramblings of the glories of war, the two went to the Thorin Military Academy and joined the AFFC when they reached military age. Academically the two struggled, but made up for what they lacked in book learning with what they learned elsewhere easily outscoring the other cadets. Somehow the two managed to finish their time at academy and then were sent off to different postings. John would go to receive battle armor training, while Ryan would end up serving in the Jump infantry. For Ryan the two years since has been largely uneventful, despite the onslaught of the Clan juggernaut, but that's about to change... Note: If unable to make the evac, Ryan will remain behind to make life as interesting for Clan Wolf as possible.
Mech: none.
Gear: Basic Lyran infantry kit. Rolex assault rifle with two spare clips. .45 auto pistol with two spare clips, two frag grenades, vibro knife, regular knife, canteen, basic med kit, length of rope, survival rations (about one weeks worth) combat boots, visored helmet, fatigues, flashlight, web-belt.

I'm not sure I can see how a bio will help you run an rp. There are examples of several running right now that might help you see it being done, especially if you compare the ooc threads with the actual role play threads. I would especially suggest Sparks Murphy's "War Orphans" threads.
If you have ever been a real life game master (or dungeon master from that type genre) then a lot of what you learned there carries over into running a forum rp. imnsho, of course.
