Character: Sgt. "Rock" Ready
Server: Virtue
Archetype: Science Tanker
Inspiration: Sgt. Brock "Rock" Ready is, at his core, everything I am not. He's gigantic; I'm bookish. He's loud, crass and crude; I'm quiet, tasteful and observant of decorum. He's basically the repressed parts of me, electronically brought to giant, hulking life.
But that's what's so fun about him - he actually is me. It's just the parts that I choose to keep quiet. It's easy to RP him because I don't have to think "what would he do?" It's already right there for me.
It's funny - he's more jingoist than I, but I've given him the same basic political beliefs as myself. He is in love with the idea of America, but chafes under authorities of all kinds. He thinks what's great about America is the freedom to live however you want, so long as you don't hurt anyone else (well, don't hurt them much, in his case). He really is patriotic; he just hates the idea of a government!
If any of you happen to run into Sgt. Ready on Virtue, he's a fun guy, if completely un-PC. The character's only Level 3 right now, but we're working on that.
