ROLES
1) The General/Admiral: You're the head honcho, the guy in charge. You have hundreds, maybe thousands of lives resting on you. What decision will you make?

2) The Officer: Not the leader, but you've got responsibility for your crew. What's your specialty -- independent initiative? Insubordination? Or do you let the noncoms walk all over you?

3) The Soldier: Just an ordinary soldier with your pike, or rifle, or energy gun. Your job is to follow orders. But when it comes down to it, when you look the enemy in the eye -- what will you do?

4) Spy: Dressed in civilian clothes, disguised as an enemy officer. Your job is to get as much information as you can, and then get out. Or are you going to sow a little chaos and destruction along the way?

5) Civilian: This is your land that's being fought over. Do you support a side? Do you hide, or do you hold steady in the face of such violence?

6) Other.

SCENARIOS
1) Battle: In the middle of the fighting.

2) Downtime/R&R: A few peaceful moments, to spend as you will.

3) Sabotage: Something's gone terribly wrong. A factory blown up, a bridge destroyed, an assassination. What do you do about it?

4) Planning: How do you go about storming that beach?

5) Capture/Rescue: The enemy soldiers have you surrounded. Or maybe you're on a daring mission to break your buddies out of jail.

6) Other.

TIME PERIOD
1) Ancient times: Grab that centurion's helmet, form up into a phalanx, and let's go crush those Gauls and/or Persians!

2) Medieval times: Suit up in your armor, grab a lance and make sure to bring along your squire.

3) Revolutionary times: Basic guns and muskets, very little medical care, and very little tactics. Give the other army a few days to dig in, and they'll hold you off forever.

4) World War I/II: Technology is advancing, and warfare is more sophisticated than ever. Remember the trenches, the skirmishes in cities, the spies and the drama.

5) Modern times: Guerilla warfare, modern tactics, modern technology.

6) The future: Ray guns? Space battles? Let your imagination go wild.

7) Other.

(any time period/setting. she's most likely a civilian, but she could also maybe be a spy. or possibly a medic? also offering bexthered)

[ a few options here ‐ he was a ltcdr during the clone wars, and is then a rear admiral during the rebellion. he's in architectural (and later weapons) engineering and during the clone wars is in the republic corps of engineers, in addition to the strategic weapons summit they have going on behind the scenes. would love to thread him getting some time on the ground, esp during the clone wars.

also down for a modern au - i write him as american and every bit as imperialist, carrying the equivalent rank in the US air force. i'd be potentially interested in playing him out during the vietnam war or during any of the later US oil wars in the middle east. ]

[ a b17 bomber pilot during wwii. these craft had a copilot, navigator, and crew of several gunners, so there are some easy cr opportunities there. also down to thread out interactions with civilians and ground personnel on base. crosscanon welcome! i'd also love to do a star wars au in which he's a republic transport pilot in the clone wars, if anyone's interested in that! ]

[OTA - lots of options here! 'Canonically' she is a spacer lieutenant who flies starships and fights pirates, so any kind of future scenario could work. I also love time travel or historical AU so she could show up in the past - either to get involved in the fighting (fudge the accuracy or the classic 'disguised as a boy' scenario) or take a support role. Happy to write the starter if there's an idea you'd like to go with!]

I'd love to explore canon and pre-canon events, and I'm also open to other high fantasy canons (or anyone who wants to AU into his)]
