G.I. Joe Head Canon & Fanfic Filecards

That's a really good point. Lady Jaye and Scarlett, even Jinx, they're givens, but you're right about Bongo etc.

And actually, I think I'm inspired to make time tomorrow to re-read your cards. I'd love to do some yarn on a map heh heh.

What do you reckon next, the Cobra La stuff? Maybe Budo John Wicking his way across the country? I feel like I haven't given Detroit enough time lately with what Stalker's doing there.

I gotta admit, you're hitting me where it hurts with a personal favorite like Budo doing my personal favorite thing of being an absolutely unstoppable badass.

But I also have to admit that I've been wanting to know more about what Outback is doing since you wrote his card -way- back.

I should do a re-read of my own stuff to find some threads to pull together, too. There's only a couple of them though. The word file I keep them in is long enough to qualify as a short novel.
 
Heh heh, you did, and it has! Makes it REAL easy, thank you.

Would at least make for a solid sequel to the Order of Battle 'series'.
 
Last of the '82 characters and the last Original 13 file card!

Code Name: Flash (Disavowed)
File Name: Gambello, Anthony S.
Primary Military Specialty: Infantry
Secondary Military Specialty: Electronics CBR
Birthplace: Lodi, California
Rank: E-4

Subject is one of the original members of the GI Joe Unit and had been inquiring about retiring in the year before President Lewis took office. He was still active duty when the unit was forced into early retirement and Gambello started paperwork to transfer from night classes to full-time student status (he had been pursuing a Masters in electronic engineering part-time). At the end of the semester, Gambello stepped outside the student union with what appeared to be a potato launcher, which he aimed at the vehicle occupied at that moment by the two Lewis administration agents assigned to his surveillance team. The device was in fact some sort of jerry-rigged laser, which he fired through the car's dashboard, frying the electronics and rendering it inoperable. He then escaped in an unmarked vehicle the agents believe was a converted VAMP. Gambello is currently wanted for questioning.

"Man, Flash is proof positive that the Lewis administration can't actually do anything right in the end. Dude WANTED to retire. He's a little older than the rest of us, wanted to get out, finish his degree, maybe start a family... but when Lewis MADE him retire? Flash got in touch and said 'screw these guys, what are we doing next?' And then he hand-built a laser rifle in the college electronics lab, flash-fried his tail's car, and we had Clutch waiting around the corner to scoop him up and ride off into the sunset. Anyway, now he's our electronics guy, using everything he learned in that Masters program to make Lewis's life miserable..."

I think this the last named character from the class of '83 (just the HISS driver left from that year.)

Code Name: Ace (Disavowed)
File Name: Armbruster, Brad J.
Primary Military Specialty: Fixed Wing Pilot, Single and Multiple Engines
Secondary Military Specialty: Intelligence Operations
Birthplace: Providence, Rhode Island
Rank: O-3 (Captain, USAF)

To be clear, something MUST be done about Captain Armbruster. We do not know how he obtained a combat-ready XP-14F equivalent. We are unclear where he stores it. We have no idea how he pays to FUEL it. When agents spoke with him by phone - as they were unable to pin him down to arrest him - he CLAIMS the jet does not carry any armaments, but witnesses claim the aircraft has a working 1xM61A1 Vulcan 20mm canon and a full complement of air-to-air and surface-to-air missiles. Armbruster stated the jet is used for Hollywood stunt effects and entertainment purposes and is fully registered. Yes, there is paperwork filed for it under Armbruster's name, but the documentation is questionable at best. We have agents investigating who approved the paperwork right now. And the even bigger problem: rumor has it Armbruster has managed to acquire several other aircraft we don't even know about...

"You think we called him Ace because he's a pilot, but the real reason is the most cutthroat poker player any of us have ever met. so he's forced into retirement and what's the first thing he does? Enters into an international poker tournament and WINS A DAMNED JET AIRPLANE. None of us know who staked him to let him get there in the first place, and Ace ain't talking. Flint thinks it was a foreign intelligence agency, but Falcon laughed and said 'how much you wanna bet it was Destro?' I mean, stranger things have happened. Anyway, so Ace wins a fighter jet off a billionaire who thinks he's a pilot and a poker player and really ain't neither, we set him up with guns and ordnance, and then what does Ace do? HE WINS ANOTHER JET. Now the Lewis administration is crappin' their pants thinking we've built ourselves an air force..."

I believe Cutter is the last from the class of '84 except the Stinger Driver...

Code Name: Cutter (Disavowed)
File Name: Stone, Skip A.
Primary Military Specialty: Hovercraft Captain
Secondary Military Specialty: Special Services (coached the women's swimming team at Annapolis)
Birthplace: Kinsley, Kansas
Rank: O-2 (Lieutenant J.G.)

This man is an insufferable nuisance. Ever since being forced into retirement with the dissolution of the GI Joe Unit, Stone has hounded his congressman, his former colleagues at Annapolis, old contacts in the Coast Guard and the Navy, quite literally everyone attempting to get himself reinstated. That being said, it is our belief that these efforts are insincere and, in the very least, meant to create unnecessary paperwork and simply annoy anyone he can possibly get in touch with. He seems to be splitting his time between coaching women's swimming at a New England state school and some sort of indecipherable nautical business captaining chartered vessels up and down the East Coast. We may need to simply arrest the man and throw him into the Florida facility to get him to go away. Note: We also have had several inquiries as to how a man from Kinsley, Kansas acquires a thick, grating Boston accent.

"Here's the thing about what Lewis did - his people took away dreams. Nobody worked harder to get the hell out of the Midwest and onto the water than Cutter did. His entire life was spent getting on a boat and staying there, and he absolutely refuses to have that stolen from him. But also, in case you haven't met the man, Cutter is relentless to the point of obnoxious. So Lewis took his dream away from him and Cutter will not let Lewis rest until he gets that back. In the meantime, though, Skip's running guns for us along the coastline, smuggling Joes with warrants out for their arrest anywhere you can get to by sea, and basically throwing the double bird at the administration any way he can..."

Flash was perfect. He was my first Joe so has a special place in my heart.

Flash was one of my first figures too and I had him FOREVER. I was obsessed with his "catcher's gear" style armor. I swear I became a catcher on my baseball team just to imitate him. He's always been one of my favorites and wanted to get him right. (I'd been holding out in case Classified made him but maybe this'll set off some good luck for us.)
