Of course! This was my bio for the generic (black suit) diver. I picked him up specifically to head-canon in an original concept so feel free to do whatever you'd like with it. Gotta write one up for Sniper Lady next but she's not as clear in my mind.
 
For the female sniper/Marine figure: (Bucket Hat head version)
Codename: Headshot
File Name: Aubert, Genevieve
Primary Military Speciality: Infantry
Secondary Military Specialty: Social Services Counselor
Birthplace: Cambridge, Massachusetts
Subject was a social worker prior to enlisting. Requested and passed psychological evaluation for sniper training. Served in a long-range reconnaissance unit prior to joining the Joe squad. Highly professional, calm under pressure. Note in evaluation: high level of job satisfaction. Notable confirmed kills in Badhikistan, Kalingaland, and Sierra Muerte. Requests assignments in country where violence against civilians is reportedly high.

"Gennie is the nicest person you'll ever meet. You know that truism that snipers usually test high for psychopathy? She tests high for empathy to a fault. You'd think that would make her a bad choice for the job, given it's basically sanctioned murder. But the thing is, she was a social worker for years before enlisting. She worked with people going through the worst days of their lives, usually with victims of assault or worse. She joined up because she was making poverty wages trying to help people and made a beeline for sniper school. Psych-Out pointed it out to me one time - Headshot is what happens when someone realizes you can't help everyone after the hurt is done, but you can start killing monsters before they hurt anyone else. Anyway, she scares the hell out of me, but when my dad died she really helped me process it in a healthy way..."
 
Thank you!

I had to do one for the other head, but the Caucasian one is my "CoverGirl", since she covers her boys in the field.
 
Finished the repaint on the Valkyrie with the yellow gear that has annoyed me for a while now. She's now an officer. I think I am going to go with Indigo. Her story is pretty much a blank slate right now though. Feel free to pipe in if you have any suggestions.

Man. I was coming up with stuff like White Recluse, spider stuff, and I thought, "naw.... doc is gonna come in and it's gonna be brilliant." And it was. I'd like to invite you to go have sex with yourself, sir.

I should probably shut up for a bit, huh.

Alternately, seeing that she's in all white standing in front of the polar bear, I have a voice in my head as she's holding a smoking gun as she says: "You're about to take the Polar Express... to HELL!"

So yeah, do not cease. Your file card game is incredible and I'm okay with not having the massive knack for it.
 
I do like White Noise. I was leaning towards Whiteout but that makes me think Arctic specialist and despite being in all white she's not really dressed for that. Her shoulders are going to get really cold. White Noise gives me the same feeling but without the Arctic feel.
 
Whiteout is a solid name for an arctic specialist, but I think you're right, with the shoulders this is a fashion statement versus camo.

C'mon, the stuff you've posted has been fantastic. I'm just a quick draw.

It's funny, of all the generics, the steel brigade figures are the ones I have no inspiration for backstories for. I want to do one for the night force-y dude from the two pack. With his color palette I want to name him something that evokes Miami Vice. Streetlight? Argon? Petrichor?

Appreciated, but my ego needs no stroking. And the stuff I've posted is all intentionally derivative. I'm not devoting a lot of time and creativity to these, while you just... are that creative and shit this stuff out quickly. That's why I feel you could very well be Hama's successor on all fronts.

I have no steel brigade figures now, but almost did some 'inactive' files for the ones they've done so far... then changed my mind because I also had no inspiration for them. There's something about them that just aren't as interesting for some reason.

If I do do one (uh huh huh), I want to try to recreate the way they had the multiple choice questionaire for the mailaway figure in the 80s so I can get it as close as I can remember to the one I did as a kid. His codename was simply Ruadh (which as I just told Tenime is Irish for red, "RUE-uh". and the name my mom has always used for me), but I'm sure I can come up with something better now.

Which one? The Falcon one or the one with the Twilight Guard? Oh, or the Shockwave one? Maybe just call him Heat, heh. Like a sexy, horny cat.
