G.I. Joe Head Canon & Fanfic Filecards

The second one, but both now.

I guess I'm just unsure how excited I should get about this, heh. Is there some kinda fanfiction clause?

Yeah, you REALLY can't put fanfic on Kindle, not unsanctioned fanfic. If you scrape hard enough at the serial numbers you can get away with it (see, like, all the biggest romantasy best sellers lately with their Wattpad shipper Harry Potter stand-ins) but I'd have to do some serious reworking to put these there. But if I COULD put them there I could imagine Larry finding them and saying "hey, this kid can write a bit."
 
Well... We have to be able to find another route. Does he still do cons? I'm sure we can get these in his hands somehow. Oh, first maybe we find out where he falls politically these days ...

Code Name: Shipwreck (Disavowed)
File Name: Delgado, Hector X.
Primary Military Specialty: Gunners Mate
Secondary Military Specialty: Machinist
Birthplace: Chula Vista, CA
Rank: CPO

On paper, one of the least impressive members of the now defunct GI Joe unit. Considered a sailor's sailor, Shipwreck retired rather than serve under Lewis's Navy, allegedly deciding to join up with the Merchant Marines instead. Last known whereabouts are somewhere in the San Diego area.

"Shipwreck's the reason a half-dozen of us got out before Cobra--I'm sorry, Lewis's loyalist military units--tightened the noose. The funny thing about Shipwreck is everyone underestimates him. I mean, he earns that reputation by acting a damned fool half the time, but he's smart, and nobody can wheel and deal like he can when he gets going. Joining the Navy at basically age "fetus" taught him that. But yeah, the Vipers were closing in on some of us in SoCal and Shipwreck walks into the Navy Yard, starts chatting up some of the guys there, has Polly tell a few dirty jokes, and forty-five minutes later he's headed out to sea with a stolen patrol boat. He says he was going to steal Boomin' Beaver but it couldn't move fast enough to escape with Bazooka's lardass slowing us down..."

So lore-building question - who do you reckon was on the stolen boat with Shipwreck? Bazooka was definitely there which means his hetero life partner Alpine was also there, but there were six to seven people on the craft when they stole it...
 
Jesus... What a group already! Cloudburst is also from the San Diego area, three other guys from around LA ish could be Rock N Roll, Ambush, and... The questionable Wreckage.
 
Code Name: Airborne (Disavowed)
File Name: Talltree, Franklin D.
Primary Military Specialty: Airborne Infantryman
Secondary Military Specialty: Helicopter Gunship Gunner
Birthplace: Navajo Nation, Arizona
Grade: E-5

Subject retired from active duty to return to his family estate in Arizona. Talltree comes from significant wealth through the oil industry and has leveraged his family influence to limit risk to himself from the Lewis administration's threats. Talltree turned down an offer to become part of his family's oil company's leadership board to run for office. He is currently the frontrunner for senator, running on an anti-Lewis platform. Intelligence teams continue to look for flaws to be exploited to derail his run, though he currently has a 27 point lead on the pro-Lewis candidate.

"Hawk suggested we all go where we could do some good when Lewis was elected and so for a lot of us, that meant we'd keep doing what we were doing with the Joes. But Airborne--man, he's stone cold when he needs to be, and so smart. He looked at his family's influence and money (despite certain folks really hating the idea of a rich Navajo acting like he was their equal and knowing he's their better) and decided to get into politics. For now, at least, Airborne's got too much money and too high a profile to take out through violence, but we worry about him. But he did hire a cadre of ex-Joes as his security team. Like I said... Airborne is damned smart."

Addendum, via Charlie "Spirit" Iron-Knife: "Airborne is a warrior at heart. We never saw eye to eye, but I never questioned his courage. This man has painted a target on his chest and told our enemies: come and try to stop me. Not all battles are won with guns and blades. Some are won with words."
 
Any thoughts on the Airborne ex-Joe Security Force?

I'd immediately thought Mutt & Junkyard Jr. and/or Law & Order Jr. A bunch of Gravy Seals or Meal Force Sixes trying to outrun a couple of nasty dogs gunning to bite them in the ass because they tried to start some shit is just too good an image to pass up. Those videos would definitely go viral.

I love the idea of Junkyard AND Order chasing a bunch of gravy seals down the street.

I actually meant to ask for suggestions for his security team--I figure they have to be guys who don't NEED to go on the lam (like Hawk or Snake Eyes, people who are too dangerous or too high-ranking to return to civilian life quietly), and low-key enough that they don't have a bigger story to tell the way I want to set some guys up for. The first one who came to mind was Leatherneck but he might be up to something else, not sure. Law or Mutt are great choices. He probably also needs digital security too, so maybe a Breaker or Dial Tone type.
 
Probably needs a sniper as well for those high profile speeches Airborne's about to drop in public. Lowlight fits the bill perfectly - good at hiding, been through some shit since a young age and likely not that well known to the general public. Hell, low-key is half his code name.
 
If you don't have a plan for Mainframe, he and Airborne are from the same state.

And nice on Low Light. He is just begging to have some spotlight. Story wise I mean, obviously not literally
