Title: My First-ish Custom - RUCKUS
Post by: Classified on March 11, 2011, 01:30:58 PM

Here's my first real attempt at a custom.


G.I. Joe Psy War Ops Specialist

Codename: Ruckus

File name: Classified (but responds to ‘Hey you’)

Birthplace: Mississauga, Ontario, Canada

Primary Military Specialty: Psychological Warfare

Secondary Military Specialty: FISH instructor. (Fighting In Somebody’s House; urban combat)  

 

Ruckus got his nickname from his platoon staff on his first weekend leave.  He loves his music, and if it’s not in his ears, it’s on his speaker, causing a ruckus.  His first students thought it was because he loved forced marches, and they would whisper, “He’s going to ‘ruck us’ to death.”  Now a member of the psychological warfare community, Ruckus incorporates his music into his job in a whole new way.  “Now, I put subliminal messages in my music, telling the enemy to give up and go home.”  He’ll patrol the streets of an enemy city with his tunes pumpin’, and he’ll give breakdance lessons to anyone who wants them.  He figures if the locals are busy learning some new moves, the local Cobra cell can’t recruit them.  Ruckus is a firm believer that music soothes the savage beast.  “And if it doesn’t,” he says, “the shotgun under my M4 sure will.”

 

“I’ve never seen anyone moonwalk on patrol before...but the locals love him, no doubt about that.”

-Ruckus’ platoon commander in Afghanistan

 

“Cold Slither is the worst song I’ve ever heard, yet I can’t stop singing it...”

-Ruckus

 

“Hey kid, you wanna join Cobra or not?  And can you turn that music down?!”

-Cobra recruiter somewhere in Africa

From a longtime fan of RunDMC, you get a 

Also, I want to add that bio is very well written. I enjoyed reading it all and found the quotes very funny especially that last one that I wasn't expecting would come from a Cobra agent.

The character looks great too, he matches perfectly the bio, bravo!

Thanks!  He was a lot of fun to create, and based on some light-hearted things I've done in the service.
