I was not aware that throwing someone in the river was out of character for the Russian Air Force. I actually know next to *nothing* about the Russian Air Force. The idea of combining "You're one of us now." - style hazing and "Time to grab some payback." - style hazing by subjecting someone to the indignity and brief discomfort of a river (assuming they dragged him out and dried him off again afterwards to avoid hypothermia) sounded at least reasonably in character for Generic Military, so I let it go.
I guess most of the reason I'm raising eyebrows at using the Hoff is that he doesn't seem like much of a Fan from where I'm sitting. He had a role in one (mildly) sci-fi show, and he wasn't at all a techie character in it. His most famous show (and the one, by the looks of it, he cared about the most) was Baywatch. I dunno. I admit that I don't know much about him, but he looks to me like a guy who's sunk most of his points into charisma and acting ability. If he really is cool with stuff, he'd make a fine Face, but I just don't see him doing all that well as the shadowy leader of a conspiracy.
