Hello there!
I'm new to the whole rp, but I was hoping to join this one, as the stroy already sounds good! If its possible to join, here's my character sheet, hope its ok!
Name: Lazarus Craig
Physical Description:
Age: 29
Height: 6'0"
Description: Brown eye (right), brown hair, stocky, muscular.
Destinguishing feature: Metal plate bolted to the left side of his face. These extend down the entire left side of his body, to his hip. His left arm is completely bionic.
Personality Profile: Lazarus is, despite his appearance, a regular person. He enjoys the odd pint, a good laugh with some friends...then the bullets start flying. Lazarus delights in the death of enemies, be it by blowing football-sized chunks out of them with his Tempest class shot gun, or crushing their skulls with his bionic arm. The word "Sadistic" springs to mind, especially as he cannot understand the concepts of surrender or mercy.
Skills: Lazarus is of adverage intelligence, but he is a much better grunt than leader.
He is naturally very strong, but when his bionic left arm is taken into consideration, he is capable of Herculean feats of strength. He can weild heavy weaponry, if not easily, then with little difficulty, and is formiddable in close quarters.
Equipment: Armour: Mk III: Standard issue heavy armour. It is slightly thicker around the
right side, as Lazurus' steel plated left is already decently protected.
Weaponry: Lazarus' main weapon is a heavy shotgun, with a micro-uzi as his back-up weapon. His arm is his main combat weapon
History:
Lazarus grew up on a farm on the Planet Kravan, to a broken family: His mother was a raging alchoholic and his father was abusive. Lazarus worked for most of his life on the farm, with his two elder brothers, where his natural strength made him ideal for carrying heavy bags of grain and sheep. At the age of 16 Lazarus finally plucked up the courage to defended himself from one of his father's vicious attacks, and in the process broke the man's neck.
Terrified, Lazarus fled to the city, where he lied about his age to join a gang of mercenaries. In his first taste of conflict however, the gang was hired to suppress a peaceful protest for the right to vote. As soon as the attack began, he realised he was fighting for the wrong side, and turned on his own squad mates, killing all of them. As the last man fell though, he plucked the pin from one of Lazarus' grenades. Lazarus barely had enough time to throw the thing away before it detonated. The explosion took his left arm clean of, along with most of his torso, and mangled his face beyond recognition.
The grateful protesters then payed for his bionic implants, as a way of repaying him, but Lazarus never felt the same again, and every fight he has been in since reminds him of the explosion, and the day he became half a man.
After many years of success with the special forces, he became a rarity: a soldier sent from army to army, planet to planet, to assist with more...dangerous missions. His last posting sent him to the Nostalgia for infinity, when the Beyonders came...
