M*A*S*H d20 Modern

[DarkSoldier]

(Copied from my post on the WotC d20 Modern board)

I picked up the SRD (since I have no chance of getting the book in the near future), and I figured, "Why not?"

I have two now, and I might add more if the response is good.

Benjamin Franklin Pierce was born in Crabapple Cove, Maine, sometime in the 1920's, to Daniel Pierce and an unknown mother, who died when Ben was young. Ben may have a sister. Daniel read "The Last of the Mohicans" frequently, and he gave his son the nickname "Hawkeye," which is used more often than his actual given name.
Hawkeye went into medicine at an early age, making deliveries from Ballinger's Drugstore, did his medical residency in Boston, and got drafted as a surgeon when the US Army entered the Korean conflict. He was sent to the 4077 Mobile Army Surgical Hospital under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake, and roomed with his residency buddy Captain "Trapper John" McIntyre and Major Frank "Ferret Face" Burns in a tent referred to as "The Swamp."
Hawkeye is on call at all times, performing meatball surgery for hours at a stretch in barely sanitary conditions, and still finding the energy to come up with verbal jabs at Frank and his extramarital relationship with the head nurse, Major Margaret "Hotlips" Houlihan.

Famous Hawkeye Quotes

"I will not carry a gun, Frank. When I got thrown into this war I had a clear understanding with the Pentagon: no guns. I'll carry your books, I'll carry a torch, I'll carry a tune, I'll carry on, carry over, carry forward, Cary Grant, cash and carry, carry me back to Old Virginia, I'll even 'hari-kari' if you show me how, but I will not carry a gun!"

"I will heal their wounds, treat their wounds, bind their wounds, but I will not inflict their wounds!"

Sherman T. Potter was born in Hannibal, Missouri, sometime in the 1890's. He joined the US Cavalry at 15 and served during the Great War. He is married to Mildred Potter, and they have two daughters, Jeanine and Effe, and numerous in-laws and other relations.
Colonel Potter became a surgeon in 1932, and came to the 4077th after the departures of Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake and Captain John McIntyre. The regular army colonel adjusted to the 4077th and made it his own, despite attempts by Major Frank Burns to usurp command during his absences.
Potter is semi-famous for his "Potterisms," creative expletives like "Horse hockey" and "Mule fritters," and his painting skills; during his time at the 4077th, Potter painted at least 10 portraits, including a close-up of his own thumb.

 

[Crothian]

I would think Col Potters Occupation would be Military since he didn't become a doctot till later in life.

This is really cool though.

Walter Eugene O'Reilly was born in Ottuma, Iowa, sometime in the late 1930's. His father died when he was little, so his mother, Edna, raised him with the help of her brother, Uncle Ed. Walter has a brother, a sister, and a large extended family.
Because of his uncanny ability to predict events shortly before they happen, Walter received the nickname "Radar." Walter joined the US Army at 18, hoping to make the Marines, but he failed the Marines medical. The army sent him to the 4077th MASH to serve as company clerk during the Korean war. He served well, performing his duties so well, the unit would grind to a halt without him.
Unfortunately, Uncle Ed died, and Radar received a hardship discharge to return to Iowa. He fought it, thinking he was more useful in Korea, but he realized he had a responsibility to his mother, and he headed home. He left his teddy bear with the 4077th.

Frank Marion Burns was born in Fort Wayne, Indiana, on an April 13th sometime in the 1920's. He is married to Louise Burns and has three daughters. He also has a brother.
Frank claims to be a red-blooded American, and that he holds the values of America near and dear to his heart. He is a hypocrite, xenophobe, and adulterer. Since arriving at the 4077th, he has engaged in a torrid affair with Major Margaret Houlihan, never mentioning her to his wife. Frank feels that non-Americans are less deserving, and regardless of how badly injured they are, he will refuse to operate on a North Korean or Chinese soldier until all Allied casualties are taken care of.
Frank is also greedy and a power-monger; whenever the commanding officer (Henry or Col. Potter) takes leave, Frank attempts to recreate the 4077th in his own image ("Seven days, Colonel? God created the Universe in seven days."). He demands every enlisted man salute him, even when he treats them like something served in the mess tent.
When Major Houlihan returned from Tokyo and announced her engagement to Lieutenant Colonel Donald Penobscott, Frank had a nervous breakdown. During leave in Tokyo after Margaret and Donald's marriage, he followed a general and his wife, thinking that they were Margaret and Donald. Following several embarrassing incidents, he was sent home, with pending charges pressed by the general. However, the Army dismissed all charges against him, and promoted him to Lieutenant Colonel. The 4077th received Major Charles Winchester as a temporary (later permanent) replacement.

Again good job. I do think 16 is way to high an Int for Radar, though. In one or so of the episodes he's trying to get his highschool diploma or some equivilent and had great troubles.

Hot Lips! Hot Lips! Hot Lips!

 

[Crothian]

"Fair is fair. If I nail Hotlips, and punch Hawkeye, can I go home?"

Favorite line from the movie

I'm still working on Hot Lips, Charles, and BJ. Until I get them done, have Klinger and Father Mulcahy.

Maxwell Q. Klinger was born in Toledo, Ohio, to Amos "Butch" Klinger and a Lebanese mother. Max has a sister, 11 uncles, and at least 3 cousins.
Max was drafted into the US Army and sent to Korea as a corpsman for the 4077th MASH. He hated the army, so he has tried to get discharged under Section 8, the "psycho discharge." To that end, he has dressed in women's clothing (and worked with it so much, it actually affected his sanity), worn a rubber reducing suit and fur coat during a heat wave, he ate a Jeep (most of it), he tried to exceed the Army's weight limit, he tried to join the Navy, he tried to get a hardship discharge with various combinations of family dying/pregnant excuses, he had fake fainting spells, and far too many other attempts at getting out than can be listed.
He married Laverne Esposito via radio, but the long-distance relationship didn't last; she and Klinger divorced, and she later married his friend Gus Nagy. At the end of the war, Klinger married a Korean refugee, Soon-Lee, and he stayed in Korea with her in order to help her locate her parents, who had gotten separated from her during their evacuation.

Famous Klinger Quotes

"Colonel Potter, sir! Corporal Klinger! I'm Section Eight, head to toe! I'm wearing a Warner bra, I play with dolls, my last wish is to be buried in my mother's wedding gown! I'm nuts! I should be out!"

o/~ "Some guys like the army/I think that it's a mess/If it's so damn terrific/How come I wear a dress?" o/~

John Francis Patrick Mulcahy was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, sometime in the 1920's. He has a sister, Katherine, also known as Sister Maria Angelica, and several brothers. John is an avid boxer, and he went into the Catholic seminary after being inspired by a chaplain known as "Boom Boom."
He was assigned to the 4077th MASH as chaplain, where he has provided religious guidance and a sense of stability. He holds services every Sunday, provides last rites for the deceased, and provides confession for those with burdens on their consciences.
At the end of the war, a wounded GI drove a tank into the compound, and North Korean shelling threatened a makeshift POW camp, so Father Mulcahy went to free them. A shell landed right behind him and exploded. He suffered a mild concussion, and the explosion had damaged his hearing. Eventually, he became all but deaf, and after the war ended, he started working with the deaf.
