Roach-Busters
03-04-2005, 04:23
Generalissimo J.L. (45), head of state and head of government of Roach-Busters since he came to power via a coup d'etat in 1990, overthrowing a totalitarian Marxist government and making RB a showcase for free-market capitalism, making it one of the most industrialized and economically and militarily powerful nations on Earth. The son of two prominent historians, his parents were killed by the government for anticommunist sympathies when he was a young boy. That, and his blood line instilled in him a virulent, vehement hatred of communism unmatched in history. He is related, in way or another, to the following anticommunist individuals: Ian Smith of Rhodesia; Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay; Joseph McCarthy of the United States; Anastasio Somoza Garcia, Anastasio Somoza Debayle, and Luis Somoza Debayle of Nicaragua; George Papadopoulos of Greece; Fulgencio Batista of Cuba; Augusto Pinochet of Chile; Francisco Franco of Spain; Antonio de Oliveira Salazar of Portugal; Ludwig von Mises of Austria; and Draza Mihailovich of Yugoslavia. He is also related to Robert E. Lee, Thomas 'Stonewall' Jackson, Patrick Henry, and Adam Smith. He is the recipient of an Associate Degree from RB City Community and Technical College, a Bachelor's Degree in Political Science from the University of Havana (when RB was still under communist control), an M.D. at Harvard Medical School, an M.B.A. at Notre Dame University, and a Ph.D. in Political Science from M.I.T. Having studied hundreds of military leaders throughout history, as well as their tactics, he rose rapidly in the military, eventually becoming General of the Army (during his military years, he feigned deep loyalty to the regime), eventually staging a coup d'etat and ousting the communists. He is 6'2", 175 lb., has gray hair, blue eyes, and a mustache. He is a Protestant Christian who does not belong to any particular branch, and the men he admires most are Jesus Christ, Booker T. Washington, and the American Founding Fathers. His hobbies are hunting Shoobans and communists, reading, debating, and chess. His favorite drink is root beer and his favorite food is fettuccine alfredo. His I.Q. is 175.

Thiensiri Theveenugul (25), First Lady of Roach-Busters. She married the Generalissimo when he was 38 and she was 18. As of yet, they have no children. She is known for her gentle heart, soft-spokenness, sunny disposition, and excellent cooking. She is nearly as anticommunist as her husband. Rumor has it that she is directly related to Thailand's Chakri Dynasty.

Calvin Cyprian, Jr. (42), Vice-President of Roach-Busters. A high school quarterback and consummate lady's man, he neglected college in favor of joining the military (like J.L., he secretly planned to stage a coup eventually). He met J.L. and they became best friends. However, once it was learned who Calvin's father was, he was imprisoned without trial for many years. Upon assuming control of RB, J.L. released Calvin and made him Vice-President. Calvin is married to an ex-supermodel whose beauty is surpassed only by that of the First Lady.

Lester Lindsey (39), Secretary of War. Lester has mastered over ten kinds of martial arts, including karate, judo, kung fu, tae kwan doe, and many others. He won the RB National Martial Arts Championship ten years in a row, before retiring. Apolitical, he had no interest in anything pertaining to governance until after the coup, when the Generalissimo appointed him Secretary of War.

Terris Fitten (46), Secretary of the Navy. A devout Christian renowned for his generosity. A self-made millionaire, he annually denotes over 75% of his salary to the poor. A brilliant student of economics, he is distantly related to Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell. He is also distantly related to George Washington Carver, Daniel 'Chappie' James, and Phyllis Wheatly. He received an M.B.A. and Ph.D. (both in Economics) from RB National University. Having served several years in the Navy as a young man, and being a knowledgeable expert on the subject, J.L. appointed him Secretary of the Navy.

Chong Moua (36), Secretary of Diplomacy. Of Hmong descent, he is directly related to Hmong war heroes Lee Lue and Vang Pao. He is also distantly related to Prince Boun Oum and General Phoumi Nosavan. He has been an ambassador to dozens of nations and is a world-renowned diplomat respected for his uncompromising integrity and statesmanship. He is currently engaged to Kimiko Ayasugi of The Real ALM.

Chia Neng Lee (37), Secretary of Law and Order. Taciturn and aloof, he is so silent he makes Calvin Coolidge look like a jabber mouth. Though generally kind, he is uncompromisingly cold-hearted, callous, and brutal toward communists, deliberately employing the most sadistic methods in suppressing them. As a relative of Nguyen Cao Ky, Syngman Rhee, Chiang Kai-shek, Nguyen Van Thieu, Lon Nol, Ferdinand Marcos, and Thanom Kittitakchorn- and a man who lost seventeen family members to communism- his anti-Marxism should come as a surprise to no one.

Professor Vincent DeLusia (65), Secretary of Education. A teacher in a variety of subjects, he is a genius with an I.Q. estimated to slightly exceed 200. He is related to Moise Tshombe, Mangosuthu Buthelezi, and Jonas Savimbi. Though a self-described progressive, he has no love of leftists, and publicly backs the government's unconditional opposition to communism. He is the main architect of the law making Wealth of Nations and The Black Book of Communism required reading in school and Das Kapital and Mein Kampf illegal.

Christine Peralta (28), Secretary of Commerce. An extremely devout Roman Catholic, she was born in the Philippines, but her parents emigrated to RB when she was a small child. An ultra-conservative, she nevertheless holds extremely libertarian economic views, and has written dozens of scholarly tomes extolling the superiority of capitalism over socialism. She has a Bachelor's Degree, an M.B.A., and a Ph.D. in Economics.

Cody Jennings (50), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Standing a whopping 6'7", and weighing over 350 lb. (all of it pure muscle), Jennings is not a man to mess with. He was a quarterback in high school as well as college, captain of his high school wrestling team and later college wrestling team, and is a former boxing champion who won dozens of international boxing competitions. He once fought over twelve burly, knife-wielding men to a standstill without even the slightest effort. When he was in the Army, he once took out two enemy platoons single-handedly with only a handful of grenades, a few bullets, and a prayer. His catch phrase is, "Don't piss me off."

Rene Rodriguez (31), Chief of Staff of the Army. Of Mexican descent, he is also a distant relative of the Nicaraguan Major Pablo Emilio Salazar, better known as "Comandante Bravo." He was one of the top three graduates of his class at the RB Military Academy.

James LeDuc (61), Chief of Staff of the Navy. Josh's adopted uncle. Born in South Korea, he was orphaned as a young boy, and adopted by Josh's grandparents in RB. James joined the Navy at the age of nineteetn and rose rapidly, eventually becoming a top-ranking Admiral renowned for his cunning strategy, uncompromising integrity, and utmost care for his crew. Although he subscribes to neoconservative views, his militant anticommunism, devout patriotism, unswerving loyalty, and brilliance in naval warfare more than make him qualified for his job. He is a direct descendant of both Syngman Rhee and Park Chung Hee.

Calvin Cyprian, Sr. (68), Chief of Staff of the Air Force. A top gun and popular air ace known for his charisma, strong appeal to the ladies, unparalleled sense of humor, and staggeringly high intellect, he was later tried and convicted of treason for his anticommunist views; he barely escaped the country with his life, and was forced to leave behind his wife and child (the current Vice-President). Once abroad, he became a mercenary pilot who devoted his life to fighting against communists. He fought with the Ravens in Laos, the Portuguese in Angola and Mozambique (against the MPLA), and later alongside UNITA, after the Portuguese abandoned Angola and the Marxists took over. He remained with UNITA for fifteen years, until the coup in Roach-Busters brought J.L. to power and J.L. appointed him Chief of Staff of the Air Force. He was a very close friend of the late Jonas Savimbi.

Terrel Fitten (46), Chief of Staff of the Marines. The fraternal twin brother of Terris Fitten, he wanted to join Terris in the Navy, but was instead put into the Marines. Although he hated communist immensely- and still does- he nevertheless served the Marines loyally, with a firm belief in the notion, "My country, right or wrong." However, once J.L. launched his coup, Terrel eagerly joined and became one of its most prominent participants. After the coup, he personally executed over 5,000 former communists with undisguised glee, saying, "This should make up for my years laboring under the former government of Marxist scum."

It's 1.5MB because there are flags in there now depicting what background the person has.

There are six flag types on there if I recall correctly.
