  13. There's only 45 listed from the Schlock Mercenary quote page CES Maxim 1: Pillage, then burn. Maxim 2: A Sergeant in motion outranks a Lieutenant who doesn't know what's going on.[1] Maxim 3: An Ordnance Technician at a dead run outranks everybody. Maxim 4: Close air support covereth a multitude of sins. Maxim 5: Close air support and friendly fire should be easier to tell apart. Maxim 6: If violence wasn't your last resort, you failed to resort to enough of it. Maxim 7: If the food is good enough the grunts will stop complaining about the incoming fire. Maxim 8: Mockery and derision have their place. Usually, it's on the far side of the airlock. Maxim 9: Never turn your back on an enemy. Maxim 10: Sometimes the only way out is through. ...through the hull. Maxim 11: Everything is air-droppable at least once. Maxim 12: A soft answer turneth away wrath. Once wrath is looking the other way, shoot it in the head. Maxim 13: Do unto others. Maxim 14: "Mad Science" means never stopping to ask "what's the worst thing that could happen?" Maxim 15: Only you can prevent friendly fire. Maxim 16: Your name is in the mouth of others: be sure it has teeth. Maxim 17: The longer everything goes according to plan, the bigger the impending disaster. Maxim 18: If the officers are leading from in front, watch out for an attack from the rear. Maxim 19: The world is richer when you turn enemies into friends, but that's not the same as you being richer. Maxim 20: If you're not willing to shell your own position, you're not willing to win.

Maxim 29: The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less. Maxim 30: A little trust goes a long way. The less you use, the further you'll go. Maxim 31: Only cheaters prosper.

There is only 'open fire' and 'time to reload.' Maxim 38: Just because it's easy for you doesn't mean it can't be hard on your clients. Maxim 39: There is a difference between spare parts and extra parts. Maxim 40: Not all good news is enemy action. Maxim 41: "Do you have a backup?" means "I can't fix this." Maxim 44: If it will blow a hole in the ground, it will double as an entrenching tool. Maxim 47: Don't expect the enemy to cooperate in the creation of your dream engagement.

  18. Willard Benjamin is dependent on a chemical concoction known as Gladiex for his ability to become the heroic Carrier. His ability allows him to summon any weapon he can think of, and he tends to favor non lethal stun guns and foam rounds. CES
  19. I took the last hero required for the minimum for the Rangers. So.... New Team: Reversibles This is a team of at least 5 villains. However they are also heroes (and as such will appear in the Heroes thread). Some incident turned the villains into heroes or was it the other way around ? Both exist but all are one thing (i.e. villains) at the same time. They are never partly heroes or partly villains. Both sets are increasingly concerned at their sudden disappearance and then reappearance without knowledge of what has happened in between time. To make matters more complicated the heroes powers and abilities may not match the villains powers and abilities. They may also be a different sex. Depending on the writer there may be one who is a mirror image on the teams. Any powers and abilities are possible but you have to state who the opposite is and when the team appears in the Hero thread post the opposite there as well.
  20. I'll take the last villain so we can move on to Poland. Var the Spear is an assassin working out of Ultar. He uses a spear that punches through solid material by converting it into energy proceeding the blade. he is considered extremely dangerous in close quarters and known to cause collateral damage to accomplish his goals. CES
  21. She is from Gold Digger by Fred Perry I believe. Greywind is right about the bullets. They're Bullet Bills from the various Mario games. CES
  22. We only need one more villain for this semisetting. CES
