Mercenaries signup

Right, this is the signup for the war/mercenaries thread I've been asking for interest about. The backstory is currently being spell-checked and I have to go work, so in the meantime, here's what you need to know.

All of you are working for the ICA (International Contract Agency) as "military advisors". Your pre-Agency backgrounds may vary. While you may make up your own weapons and organizations as needed, nobody should have CDS-47 Armor Piercing High Explosive Carnage Delivery Systems with auto-loading and fax modem. As in the signup, ballistic weapons only, they may be slightly advanced over present-day stuff, but rememebr that as a mercenary outfit, you probably won't have access to the state of the art for the campaign, which is advanced a few years ahead of ours. Keep it semi-realistic, aright?

Most of you are veterans at this kind of thing, so I won't insult you by laying everything out in front of you like you were some 3 post noob. For those of you who are, in fact, 3 post noobs, start learning.

I only really need the following two pieces of information from everyone to do my job properly. Everything else is, as WH40K players say, "fluff". If you want to add more, more power to you, and rememebr that DMs like keeping interesting characters alive.

Name: (self-explanatory)
Specialty: (Something you're good at, to the point where your entire character can be described by his specialty. Examples: Acrobatic, Bruiser, Sniper, Stealthy, Evil-Minded Son of a Bitch, Tech Genius, Cunning Linguist, etc. Describe the specialty too, so I can think of ways in which you can use it.)
Background: (Where you were from before you joined the Agency. Everyone will have at least an above-average level of competence in all soldiering skills, being that the Agency trains its recruits quite well, though they still won't be on par with elite forces)
