Personality: 
Rodriguez is social kind of guy, usually very eager to make friendly conversations with colleges and other people. Of course his motivation is sometimes fueled by that of the ounces of alcohol running through his system; his closest friends are very weary of this fact when inviting him to bars or parties. Usually during down times, Rodriguez can be found usually shifting through an entire newspaper or reading a book of any kind he picked at a local shop.
 
Ever since serving all the way through the Third World War, Rodriguez has seen many horrors on both sides of the conflict which has made a big impact on him, especially when he originally was viewed a patriot of sorts. Rodriguez is now very opened minded and sympathetic when it matters, usually accepting other opinions unless proven immoral or illogical.   

Personal History:
Growing up was not an easy thing for Rodriguez. Though he was born to a happy family, there was not a whole lot of money to go around; repeated debts and failed loans only retained enough of a budget to keep him and his folks going with food and a roof over their heads. As the years went by, their finances further declined hopelessly eventually forcing Rodriguez out of guilt of not being able to help his parents with their teetering living expenses to find a job, especially at an early age just as he started attending junior high.

Despite his parent’s best wishes, Rodriguez joined the military personally out of financial necessity right when the world was at the brink of war. After getting his placement tests, he later found himself in the United States Air Force, rather unexpectedly on that note too and even further so when he realized that he had a knack for flying even though he never gave the concept much thought. Unfortunately as his parents feared, a Third World War had erupted and Rodriguez was deployed overseas where he would later see active combat in the Asian continent.

Rodriguez’s skills as a fighter pilot of an F-16C continued to excel as he went up with more combat sorties involving strike operations against hardened targets and escorting of bombers and logistical aircraft. He eventually earned the status of Ace after successfully downing five DPRK aircraft while participating in several strategic bombings runs that penetrated into North Korean airspace. After bringing his record to eight kills, Rodriguez was then offered a position as a flight instructor to train new squadrons entering into the war. Though the feeling of not being shot at and being closer to home was idyllic for quite some time, the moment when ICBMs began raining down on American soil plunged Rodriguez back into the war where he would see two more theaters of combat.

Some years would past until the war had concluded where Rodriguez was still flying for the USAF away from home, participating in a variety of non-combat missions over Korea and Russia where he would constantly observe the aftermath of the carnage the conflict had wrought, leaving a rather sour taste that was growing intolerable by each passing day. Finally, after so long Rodriguez returned back to the US with open arms awaiting him.

Though returning to the civilian life was very pleasant, the years of service had changed him and thus Rodriguez grew unsatisfied and yearned to fly once more, even if was not combat oriented. As fate would have it, a PMC called Thunderbolt Black would approach him with the position as a fighter pilot in mind. At first (for several months in fact) Rodriguez questioned the job offering, especially when most PMCs he encountered operated without the best of intentions, usually looking for one more skilled gun to further their successes. However after learning more about Thunderbolt Black’s goals and objectives, he soon found that he could not decline and eventually joined up.
