Looking to play with a small group, I am experienced with RIFTS, and have a character concept that the Coalition States may find interesting and valuable. A Marine from the 2020's who's apc was sucked into a rift. His group was wiped in an intense firefight with a group of bandits who's MDC weapons and armour let them tear through the detachment. My character escaped and hid until they had set up camp, and once they had their helmets off, tossed a grenade and took a laser rifle as soon as the blast killed, killing their sentry before they could react. The idea can be ironed out with a gm, but it would give them a fighting chance on RIFTS earth if they survived and got their hands on modern equipment right before the game.
