In honor of veterans and those still currently serving their countries around the world, this tournament has a soldier theme. I can't thank you enough for your service, and can not begin to describe how much respect I have for those who put their life on the line to fight for what they believe in.
Enough preaching from me, let's get to the tournament!

Rules
Only characters who are or have been soldiers can be used in this tournament. They need to have fought for a country, nation, planet, ideal, etc. for a significant amount of time, and have that be a major part of their character.
This tournament welcomes any and all viners. If you're new to tournaments, we can help you along the way. This will be done at a casual pace. If you like strict rules and enforcement, with die hard debaters who will do anything to win, look elsewhere. This tournament will be taken seriously, but the primary purpose is to have fun and learn a bit more about these characters.
Teams consist of 2-3 characters. I'll explain later how you know if you get 2 or 3.
Morals on, in character.
Standard Equipment.
Existing relationships play a role, but your characters primary goal is to eliminate the other team and will work with the other characters, but characters with established teamwork, will do a better job of this.
There will be limited prep, but it is completely limited to strategy meetings. Nothing to make your team any better then standard.
The first round is going to limit your post count to three posts for you and three for your opponent. The first round is going to be 16 separate matches, and asking voters to read that much is probably not going to happen, so we will keep it short for them. I may limit post counts on the second round too.
You will be given no more then 3 days to get a post up after your opponent replies to you. If you're the first to post, then you have 3 days from creation of the match to get your post up. This is PLENTY of time, and you should be able to get it done much faster then that. Since this tourney is designed for everyone, including quite a few viners who are new to tourneys, I'm giving a bit extra time then I normally would. If this is going to be a problem for you (life happens), PM me and your opponent, and we can work something out.
Absolutely no low-balling, wanking, or being disrespectful. This is a tournament for fun, but also to help remember that there are real life soldiers that put their lives on the line day in and day out. Let's remember priorities here, and keep things respectful. This is fiction. If things get heated, I'll help moderate, and maybe call in a few people on here I consider to be experts to help sort things out. Don't lose your cool brah!
Game on.
Location
Team RED is in the SouthWest corner base. Team BLUE is in the NorthEast corner base
You're team has access to the exact map you see above and three hours of prep from within your bases. Please note in the rules that prep is limited strictly to strategy meetings. Nothing will be done but looking at this map, talking, and getting to know the characters on your team.

Win by Death, KO, or Incapacitation.
Extra Perk for Soldiers and Veterans
If you are currently a soldier or a veteran from any military, you can pick one perk. Please be honest.
Sorry for the late post but I was lazy, but anyways
I will start with some of Jim Raynor's feats first:
Gallery
Saves Michael Liberty from a Hydralisk. He puts a few rounds in it to slow it down, then targets the gas tank on a jeep to blow it up.
Gallery
Fragmentation grenades destroy wooden structures, and a zerg infested barracks. The barracks is the only real impressive one as far as firepower goes.Raynor solos several Auto-Turrets in a hallway with a Gauss Rifle
Gallery
Dodges auto-turrets, and Gauss rifle spikes (which are hypersonic). Could be aim dodging, but still impressive.Power of Gauss rifle makes a dead soldier fall slow because the spikes power lifts his body as it falls.
How's that?
I will post some more feats for Jim later as well as feats for Gabriel Angelos but for now, you move @joeagentofhand1!!!
@joeagentofhand1 - Are you able to respond to jwwprod? We need to get this rolling. If you can't do it soon, just let me know so we don't hold anything up.
