Can your character kick-ass despite working in a Dry-Cleaners? Do they have [[TattooTropes strange, unexplained tattoos]] and [[RuggedScar gnarly scars]] littered across their bodies? [[ShellShockedVeteran Do inane things cause traumatic, immobilizing flashbacks?]] Where did they get those CoolGuns and how the hell do they know how to use them all?

* In-universe in ''Fanfic/{{Spider-Ninja}}''. When investigating New York's newest "[[Franchise/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles mysterious vigilantes]]", Black Widow theorizes that Petra's father doesn't actively fight with the team, but that he's their trainer and likely a former soldier. The reader knows that Splinter was trained in Japan as a ninja, meaning that Widow is ''technically'' right.

* ''Fanfic/TheNightUnfurls'': Hunting aside, Kyril has displayed remarkable expertise in many tasks that involves the military, especially during situations where he is in charge [[WarArc in the battlefield]]. Said tasks include but not limited to: leading troops into battle, maintaining overall morale, instilling discipline, and knowing when and which places to deploy his company. One may expect that hunting down beasts in Yharnam during the Night of the Hunt doesn't necessarily equate to having knowledge of [[StrategyVersusTactics strategies and tactics of warfare]], and yet, it's clear that he has some sort of experience.

Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/SmilingFriends:'' The Boss seems to handle an M16 assault rifle [[spoiler:in the midst of a giant mental breakdown]] ''far'' better than most civilians would, handling it both during running (against chest, barrel pointing up), breaking through doors (crashing through rather than opening) and aiming (keeping [[spoiler:Grim]] in the sight even as he falls to the ground) like he's been trained for it. There's no other indication that the Boss has seen military service, so it may just be part of one of the show's subtler {{Running Gag}}s in portraying every firearm with far more realism than anything else.
