His preference for... borrowed Imperial equipment might have played some part in the decision.

Normally such a combination would have been hammered out in basic training but with the rapid onset of the war there was simply no time. Due to his heavily nationalistic upbringing, Bons is generous and friendly toward his fellow Gallians, yet casually merciless toward the enemy; his hate would extend to Darcsens and all foreigners too, if his parents had been completely successful in their isolationist indoctrination. Bons is a good man brought up by bad people... and it shows. [u]Bio[/u] Back when Gallia was still an Imperial duchy, the Bons family was well known in their home village for bigotry and intolerance; many generations had borne the name in shame, committing various atrocities against the local Darcsen underclass and other minorities. But it wasn't until Gallia obtained its independence that the family truly came into their own. As nationalistic fervour grew in the young principality, many gangs formed across the nation, ostensibly as part of the Militia; in truth these gangs were simply right-wing thugs looking for a target. Many so-called Imperial sympathisers were lynched in the intervening years, their friends and families often suffering similar fates. The Bons family was a gang unto itself, terrorising an entire county with constant hate-preaching backed up with guns and lynch mobs. Even after the Gallian Army stepped in to restore order, the area was still a hotbed for nationalist sentiment. It was in this extremist environment that Alonso Bons was raised. His parents were veterans of EWI and the purges that followed; both were card-carrying fascists. His early life was a mix of gun training, survivalist hunting trips and his parent's seminars on the value of freedom and patriotism; it wouldn't be until he attended school in Randgriz that he came to understand the true meaning of their words. By the time Alonso joined the Militia in Rinneheim, he had begun to seriously question the things he had been taught, his attitudes toward others. His new life with Squad 4 was frightening, encountering different nationalities and ethnicities every day, but he was determined to see it through. [u]RP Sample[/u] WIP plsdontkillme [/centre]
