"Well I'm alive and haven't been robbed, I guess it's time make some money." Muttered Karc, rubbing his head. "But, first things first, I'm gonna need some new gear, and then something to drink." Karc makes his way to the trader, grabbing a better pistol and vest [CHECK]. Sitting down in a quiet house with a bottle of vodka, he decides to catch up on some much needed sleep.

((Try to aim for three paragraphs, it gives you a chance to explain things and run actions. Post in third person, past tense.))
Jurgen let a slow breath go as he set the 8kg free-weights down and flexed. He smiled at pythons and grabbed a towel, rubbing the sweat from his face and neck. He smiled and rubbed some of the dampness from his hair before walking out of the gym. "Hey, Yuri, be sure to retape the grips on the weights, I almost dropped one of the 5kg ones on my foot," he laughed at a passing grunt.
The mercenary headed over to the showers and cleaned off, grabbing a fresh change of clothes before heading back to his room to grab his armor and get ready for his shift. Stopping by the armory, he grabbed a belt of mags for his G36 and a pair of pistol mags for his pistol.
Finally heading back to his room, he started pulling on his exoskeleton. First was the Nomex-Kevlar body armor, then came the backpack which contained the power pack. Finally the exoskeleton portion of it. He grabbed his handgun off the table and loaded it before holstering it. Next came his G36, which he loaded and cocked, carrying it as he headed out to guard the front gate.

Sitting up in daze Karcentric looks around, grabbing his Colt 1911 waves it around frantically. Slowly he stands up and stumbles around the old house finding one the few windows not boarded up peers out into the street. Noting that the area is alive with activity unlike when he arrived.
Going back to where he slept picks up his AK-74/u checks it over and shrugs it over his shoulder along with his backpack, before heading out to continue on his way, along the way asking various Mercs for work of any sort. Having been told at there wasn't any work to a 'rookie', he continues towards one of the many barricades that he past when he entered. The guards already standing at alert before he arrived, noticing that on of the guards was astonishingly tall.
Stopping at the barricade he says to the tall merc "Hey buddy, I bet you hit your head on everything! As a matter of fact why are all the mercs so tall?" Smiling in a rather feral/manic manner. "What's the best way out of here?"

((Well, the length is good, but you actions seem rushed. You're also still not in the right tense. Try to emulate my posting style when you write new ones.))
Jurgen jumped when one of the newbies addressed him. "Well, you don't see that every day do you?" he asked, motioning to the other guard to keep watch while he talked with the newbie. "Listen newbie, it ain't wise to sneak up on the guards like that. There's a good chance we'll shoot you to pieces before we realize you're one of us," he warned, pulling his mask off.
"Getting out of The Dead City isn't easy, newbie. First you gotta navigate the anomalies and the mutants, then you gotta make your way through Freedom's territory or you gotta get through the zombies in Yantar, not to mention Duty's boys there. We have an outpost in the Warehouses, you might see some action there, but you're too green if you ask me," he explained, taking out his PDA to show what he mean.
After a moment, Jurgen realized he didn't even know the newbie's name. "Who are you anyway? You don't exactly look like the kind of guy we'd take into our ranks," he said, checking the newbie over and raising an eyebrow at him.

"Bit jumpy eh?" Karc chuckled, looking mildly amused "I'm wearing mercs garb aren't I? And I did manage to get this far into the zone." Looking at the guard's gear and takes note of his rank. Karc looked around and sighed. Looked back at the guard "No I meant the other way... North."
"I go by all sorts of names but generally Karcentric works, or Karc, Kar, or any other name you can arrange from those letters, and you good sir would be whom?" He inquired. "And you'd be right" he continued "I'm not really the stand about and take orders type, however unlike the bandits I don't demand protection money."
Karc looked at the ground wondering what his next move would be before asking the guard "You guys got any work? I'm kind desperate for money, did you say mutants in the local area, well I can go out and hunt them down for a small amount? 1000ru?" and adding rather hastily "assuming there isn't any bloodsuckers."

((Excellent work!))
"North huh? You have to get through Limansk and deal with Clear Sky or take your chances in the west side of the Red Forest with Duty's boys or the stalkers," he explained, laughing softly.
"Jurgen," he said immediately when questioned about his name. The quick reaction wasn't at all uncommon from him. "Hmm... there are mutants in the area and they keep harrying our patrols..." the merc said, formulating a mission outline. "Okay Karc, here's your mission, about two blocks from here there's a den of blind dogs. Clear 'em out and I'll give you 1,200 ru for it," he explained, walking back to his position at the gate and putting his mask back on. "And maybe something special if you do it in a timely manner," he added, unslinging his rifle and holding it.
The other guard laughed softly and spoke into his comm unit, "You really think he can do it, Jurgen? He's new meat, not seasoned." "He'll be fine, single hand grenade should do the job," he responded, taking out his binoculars and looking down the road at the abandoned building. "If he pulls it off, our patrols will have an easier time, that's for sure," Jurgen added, zooming in. "Filthy creatures..."

"Well Jurgen I think we have a deal." Karcentric replied, as he moved towards the building had Jurgen indicated, he stopped about 20 paces from it, inspecting it and formulated a plan, checked his AK-74/u. He thought to himself "I really should of grabbed a grenade." Rummaging through his pack he pulled out his bottle of vodka. "A shame to waste this." He mused to himself, before chucking it near the the entrance.
In a second several dogs had charged out to inspect the noise, Karc sat waiting for the dogs to congregate together around the vodka before. Once they were all together he aimed at the pack and fired in bursts killing most of the dogs before the beasts could react, 2 bolted back into the building while one injured dog limped about, drawing his colt, Karc shot it before it disappeared.
Karc holstered his colt and slung his AK over his shoulder and drew his knife. He approached the house cautiously, knife at the ready. He peered in, mentally mapping the house, most of the doors were still intact linking the rooms together. "I'll shut a few of these." He thought. He pulled the doors along the hall closed. He stopped and listened, one of the dogs was whining somewhere in the house while the other wasn't making a sound. He entered the last room finding one dog had bled to death while the other wasn't far off. He looked at the dog and muttered "It's me or you buddy." He drew his colt and fired, he checked the rest of the house for anything of value, finding nothing of interest he strolled back to collect his reward. "Done and done." He said as he approached Jurgen.

((Okay, I'm back to post!))
Jurgen watched as Karc lured the dogs out of the wrecked house then shot most of them. Impressive for a newbie... he thought, watching and almost laughing as he went in to the building. C'mon... even I know better than that... He was impressed when the stalker came back out looking rather smug. Well I'll be...
He rummaged through his pack and pulled out a Sparkler artifact. "Well, Karc, as promised, 1,200ru and an artifact [CHECK]. Nice work," the merc said, smiling under his mask.

"Where can i get some decent work here?" 'ope this ain't kindergarten?"-said Torch to himself and looked around the base.Then he saw a stalker that was missing the top left of his ear but what most piqued his interest was the cash he was holding in his hand.He walked up to the stalker,pointing at his ear and asked:"Blind dogs or a wife with a knife?"

"A useless shot. The fool missed from 5 feet, made him regret that alright." Karc smiled there wasn't much humor out here. "I'm Karcentric, or Karc, or Kar." Pointing to the stitches "How'd you get those nasty looking bastards?" Karc asked. Motioning at the man should follow, Karc grabbed 2 bottle of vodka, passing one to the stranger. Knowing he would need to eventually move along due to the lack of work, Karc knew he'd need help getting out of this place and most Mercs wouldn't leave due to their duty to the old merc in charge.
"I need to leave here soon, I'm trying to head north and would be grateful for the help." Pausing to let the man take that in "But first need more money for some decent gear, so I'm planning to head to the Army Warehouses and Yantar to make some real cash scavenging, interested?" Karc taking a long drink. Looking at the ground.

MOD WARNING Falchion, this is an official warning.
You are to PM the participants of an RP before joining. I have already deleted your post once from this RP. Seeing as Karc has posted already, I'll let you slide this time. Next time, I will not be quite so forgiving.

"Stitches? Ahh a long story... I've always been "lucky",lucky enough to survive something but always get a scar from it,fought a darn bastard that was takin' money from my cousin....Kicked his ass and told him if he ever comes near my cousin again I'm gonna wipe the floor with his ugly face and that he's gonna eat his teeth like Tic-Tac when I'm done with him.The guy ran away like a whipped dog..And guess what, the next day he and his gang roughed me up a bit...I put up a good fight of course,took three of 'em down before one of them sliced my cheek with a knife,then my arm...The next thing i new was the face of doctor in the local hospital. And i still remember his words: " You've lost much blood but i guess that wont stop you." He was damn right.After a week in the hospital i got out,made a improvised gas bomb,took my gas mask found the guy that did this to me and the show started..I went up to his house threw in the bomb and the sucker didn't know what was happening to him until he saw a guy with a black gas mask,he didn't need to see my face,he knew who it was...And after that it got ugly,for him..."
"I am looking for work myself,need something to dull this blade of mine,haven't seen decent action for months." Hey another drink here! I'm ready when you are."-said Torch to Karcentric,Karc,Kar.. and to the bartender for a drink...

Nodding as he listened Karc smiled, he had experienced similar problems when he was working in the big land. "You know," Karc started as a plan formed in his head, "I reckon if we head down to Yantar we could make some quick cash, two guns for hire down there can't go to waste. I'll ask Jurgen to get as much info as possible about the latest happening. Maybe even try to convince him to join us, or get us some quality gear."
Karc made his way back to Jurgen, "Hey buddy," Karc said "I never thanked you for the reward, so thanks, me and another guy were thinking of making our way to Yantar, I reckon there might be a little more work for rookies like us, and as you said I'm not one of these lads and I wouldn't mind exploring a little more of the zone before I push north." Karc paused to catch his breath. "I was wondering, if you cared to maybe join us, or maybe if you knew of any old equipment that's a little worse for wear laying about unwanted?"
Karc knew he was pushing his luck but liked a gamble, adding quickly before the merc could respond, "I'll repay you 4 times the value of anything that's spare once I earn it of course." If he did get a couple of old LR300s or P90s he would have to save solidly to make good his promise.

Before Jurgen could answer Torch jumped in and pulled Karc two steps back,and then he whispered into his ear:" Do you really think he's gonna come? Do you think he's just gonna leave his post and roll in with rookies,he probably has smarter things to do... And besides,we could take care of some crappy ol' zombies blindfolded,we don't need anyone else...Just leaves more loot for the two of us...And i heard of a nice place down there in Yantar,sure its crawling with zombies,but its crawling with artifacts too...So its up to you to decide,but i still think we can take care of this all by ourselves."
