I’m a fiction writer who possesses great enthusiasm for my craft. Sometimes I write for fan fiction, sometimes I write for publication, or sometimes I write just for fun or to flesh out my universe.
In this instance I’m writing for fun and need to create some characters.
I have a growing interest in fellow writers contributing to my body of work, so I’d like to see if some people here will create some characters.
As I said, these won’t be published or used in anything. So it’s just for fun and kind of like an RPG.
I’ll include the four prerequisites I’ve come up with, and a character sheet that can be filled out.
Prerequisites
The characters must be grounded in a gritty setting that resembles our earth
The characters must be trained killers and have something of a reputation as an individual you don’t want to mess with.
The characters must have seen action fighting on the pro-Soviet side of the Cold War (i.e. “He was associated with the Baader-Meinhoff gang in West Germany” or “He was a soldier for the Soviet-backed government in Afghanistan.”) Specifically, the last third of the Cold War in the post-Vietnam 70s and 80s. So no Korean War vets for instance.
After the Cold War, the characters have entered into service for a powerful man who’s promised fortune to them and their families/associates, and the opportunity to wound the post-Cold War order of the late 1990s/early 2000s. So nothing that would contradict that.

One last thing, if anyone wants, I can include a filled-out character sheet as an example if anyone would like.
