Alright, there are a lot of 'submit your OC' stories, and I'm about to add another one. This one will take place in the US, or in Okinawa...maybe both. I'll take a poll on the location, so submit your suggestions and I'll pick the one that has the most votes. If the story does happen to take place in Okinawa, I could include canon characters later down the road. You decide.

See, I'm in the military, and I haven't been in the US for over three years, and I've been in Okinawa for the last two, S Korea for a year before that. Saying that, my personal OC is obviously going to be military. Ages for OC's will range from 16 to 30 years old. As for weapons, nothing too crazy please. Initial weapons will have to be something common and easily attainable, such as a claw hammer, a kitchen knife, or a baseball bat (just examples).

I'll list my own character's traits and equipment below, followed by a blank form for you to fill out.

Name: SSgt Nathaniel Hawke

Nickname: Nathan, Nate, or Sarge

Age: 25

Height: 6ft 2in

Weight: 220lbs

Starting weapon(s): 9mm Beretta (standard issue firearm for Military Police patrols), expandable baton

Secondary weapon(s): M870 combat shotgun, 9in combat knife

Personality: Old school gentleman. Cheerful around friends, polite with strangers, and downright hostile to anyone threatening either him or who he considers friends.

Love interests: Straight. Interested in finding a kind woman around his own age.

Likes: Reading, writing fiction, grilling out

Dislikes: People who treat women and children poorly, criminals (primarily murderers, rapists, and pedophiles)

Advantages: Military training, acute hearing, exceptional awareness of his surroundings

Disadvantages: Wears glasses due to poor eye sight

Brief background: Deployed to the Middle East several times, so he's no stranger to death. Orphaned at an early age, Nathan grew up on his own and has had little luck with relationships.

Family: None

Pets: None

Additional Information: Has a slight southern accent and often uses words from different countries he's been to when he talks.

Reaction to other OCs: Wary at first of both men and women, believing that trust is earned and not given, though he offers what assistance he can due to his being a military police officer.

So, that's my character. If there are any other readers out there that are military, go ahead and submit a character that matches your branch and your job if you want. It'd be nice to see how a Marine, or a guy/girl from the Army, would react to working with my OC. As stated above, there is an empty form below.
