OK here's a possible neat idea. I got this idea from all the siggies on the forum.

Make a fictional profile up based in the Aliens universe to describe yourself. You dont have to use your real name if you dont want to. Give your online persona a bit of a background.

I'll go first.

Name: Richard 'RustiSwordz' Mitchell

Age 38.

Rank: Former Colour Sergeant of Her Majesty's Royal Spaceborne Marine Corps.

Born just outside of London UK during the 50 Years EU Civil War. Both parents killed when Birmingham was nuked from orbit by the EU Battle Cruiser Sarkozy. Enlisted in the Royalist Marines at 16 on the side of the Seperatists fighting for independance from the fascist EU totalitarian government.

Fought in the closing stages of the war and rapidly rose to the battlefield rank of sergeant winning the Victoria Cross in the Battle for Paris. After the war when the UK was recognised as an indepedant nation again by the UN, Mitchell became an advisor to the UK branch of the Colonial Marine Corps as part of a mutual protection treaty between the UK and the UA, however remained with the RSBMC serving with distinction in several more campaigns including the Thedus Uprisings and the Invasion of Retnax IV.

Retired at 34 with honours and full benefits.

Current status: Rumoured to be an NCO with the infamous Lionheart Brigade. An unofficial mercenary unit with connections to both the UK and UA governments as well as mega corps like Consolidated Amalgamated (CON-AM) and the now defunct Weyland-Utani.
This brigade are well equipped, informed and paid mercenary unit that is made up of mainly ex-UK special forces and elite soldiers. Rumoured to have a Constanoga class armed transport with radically upgraded weapons and armour called the Lion.

NAME: Jason "TECKNO VIKING" Stead

AGE: 39

UNIT: UKCM,13th Regt,1st Batt "Freebbooters",Special Armament Section.

As a youth took to the history of the Viking saga`s. Later took up re-enactment to fight,drink & have fun,with like minded delinquints.
Having a love for Techno & Rock,was dubbed "Teckno".

When I was 18,I Joined the MoD`s Security Detachment,later joining Special Operations Security.

It was working within the MoD that I had enough to buy a Double Headed axe of a high quality. That started to go with me on deployments.

Was on deployment in the Eridian System in a joint Operation (US,UA,UK Forces),when first worked with Colonial Marines.
Was impressed by the standards displayed by the UKCM moreso the Special Armaments Section.
These guys knew there stuff.

Whilst on Gamma Hydra IV dealing with a Civil unrest at a British consulate. That we were deployed to prevent access & try to restore order.
UKCM had been dispatch on planetside to act as a fire brigade if things got too hot.
Whilst my Security detachment was dealing with 200+ Protestors,we came under fire from within the crowd.

This promted us to take to an Offensive stance. We took to fire & forward movement,leaving 2nd detachement at the gates (providing sustained fire),along with members of the Royalist Marines.
As we pushed forward breaking up the protesters,I was split from my detachment.

When the UKCM arrived & started their own crowd control tactics.
I was found by the UKCM in the midst standing holding my Double headed axe,covered in Blood & bodies around me screaming & moaning in agony (those still alive).
I had ran out of ammo of both my SMG & pistol & had one weapon left (never in my wildest days would I have thought I`d be using it to fight for my life).

I was very thankfull to the UKCM for coming in & getting me back to safety.

So after I returned to my Security Detachment Commander,I put in a formal request for transfere to the UKCM.
After passing the required training,was sent to the UKCM depot for posting.
It was there that Sgt "Bazfish" dubbed me "Teckno Viking" as it became common knowledge of what I did on Gamma Hydra IV.

General Harris of the UKCM giving me special permission able to have the axe attached to my armour.

Then had the fortune to be posted to the "Freebooters" Special Armaments Section.

So Teckno Viking is a happy chap,BIG Guns,BIG Axe,Good Mates.

Ok, Teckno makes me feel better about the length of mine. I'll post it once I've revised it enough times to be satisfied.
