(NOT the Artyom from the game/books)

 

No no no no. No no no no no.

 

LOL you fell for that! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL!!
Don't worry I just wanted to see a funny reaction, He's not the same Artyom, althought he is aquainted with the other Artyom(the one from the game)

 

well there aquainted with eachother(by aquainted i mean when they cross paths they may talk about recent events), Ok I'll change some things thanks for the sugestion or how ever you spell it.And what does lore friendly mean?

 

Thank you, as said; he wasn't made completely out of thin air.
Otherwise, about the language, I'm utterly empty when it comes to Russian, and new knowledge is always nice. Then again it makes sense that two languages in the same family at least has some common words, despite not sharing alphabets.

You just can't Not love the PPSh-41. Or, at least not me. Also, it sort of fits my character, with the prostetic arm and all, not having the heaviest weapons.

 

yes but is it canon for a rp character to be able to time travel and have a talking cat?

 

Jet cant talk. And the whole time travel thing was a cover up .story. So NO

 

badass old men are okay for a example

 

the 'time traveller' bit is because I'm very active as well in the Stalker forums, and the Alienation Zone was created after the Chernobyl Accident, and the games take place from 2011 onwards. and the Metro Universe takes place in 2033, so I go from one forum to the next, or from one time period to another, and that's me, not my RP character. Jet, my cat, exists in real life as well, and again, in the Zone I got a cat named Odessa, just changed it around here, therefore, the Zone and Metro cat owner bit. Jet in the RP does not talk, she's just a mutant cat with sharpened senses. read my character description in this thread for more clarification about her origins.

so you guys okay with my new character

 

It can be a bit hard to read in some parts but yeah I like the sounds of him.

 

the revolver is homemade in the style of a colt single action army

 

Yeah, so here you'll be able to see a very clear and direct look at the appearance of my character. The reason I got interested in dreadlocks is mainly because of Ronon Dex, a character from the Stargate Atlantis series. In Half-Life 2 Role-play in Garry's Mod, I chose a model who had a black coat and dreadlocks. That model is, in fact, a scary lot similar te Ronon dex's appearance in the beginning of the episode "Reunion". The dreadlocks are very similar, and the coat is also quite similar. The reason my character have dreadlocks, is because I like dreadlocks, because I like Ronon Dex. But I never based my character on Ronon Dex. They just happen to randomly look very similar (Apart from Ronon dex's beard and characteristic eyebrows, as well as his youth). Their characteristic personalities are two strong contrasts. But lately, Benjamin's hatred for Nazis and his sense for killing, in the Metro Roleplay, is beginning to remind me of Ronon Dex somehow.

Anyway, I suggest that you have a look at Ronon Dex in the beginning of this episode. I also suggest that you look at the difference of his hairstyle before the intro song, and after the intro song. That is how Benjamin wears his two different hairstyles. (And at some rare times, he lets all the locks hang in front of his face). I'll be describing it thoroughly in the roleplay whenever Benjamin switches hairstyles. (Yes, I'm obsessed with dreadlocks, you got a problem with that?)

Oh, and I also suggest that you watch this whole episode. Not only this part1, but the other parts of the episode. As I said: The whole episode. It lasts less than an hour, and is definitely well worth the watch. Very entertaining, humorous, actionpacked and awesome! (Btw, I have no idea why the intro of the video is of a Disney Cartoon :lol

And here are a couple of pictures. The gun you see in the pictures is very similar to Benjamin's tranquilizer pistol. (Yes, I based the tranq pistol's appearance on Ronon's pistol).

Keep in mind, Benjamin doesn't wear ragged clothes under his coat, but a grey camouflaged uniform, and he has his coat closed with an equippment belt around the waist.
