Backstory: [hider]Eric was born 26 years ago to Logan and Sydney Rose in Russel City. That, however, is all he knows of his biological family. Mere weeks after his birth, young Eric came down with a cold that no doctor in Russel City was able to cure. Eventually it passed, but not the way his parents had hoped. One night Logan was awoken by his crying infant and as he went to check on him he found that the babe's eyes had changed. They were red with a single vertical slit going down the middle. 

Fearing for their son's life, the couple brought him to the one place they felt he might be safe. Isolone, the Catholic center of the Dust. As a child Eric was raised along with the rest of the Immortal children brought to the Church. He was educated in everything from science, to mathematics, to theology by the various priests and teachers living in Isolone.

Immortals while accepted where not allowed to follow a political career. The lowest of religious (political) offices were denied to them due to the fact that they were not 'fully human.' The highest honor an Immortal could receive was to be a part of the elite order of Hollow hunters known as the Inquisitors, an all Immortal fighting force. While the Church allowed them to choose their own path in Isolonen society, most voluntarily joined. At the age of eleven Eric committed himself to the training and excelled in the use of firearms and tracking due to his advanced sight capabilities. 

As he grew older, Eric's abilities became more impressive as he worked to perfect them. The first ability he mastered was x-ray vision at the age of thirteen, though this was mostly due to teenage hormones than practicality in combat. As the years progressed he became known as the best shot in the Inquisitors, fully fledged members and  trainees alike. As he greatly came to excel with any fire arm the older Inquisitors gave to him, he became a cocky and flirtatious to women which he had begun collectively referring to as 'the ladies.'

At the age of 16 Eric fell in love with a girl named Kara. She was a year younger than him and was also in training to become an Inquisitor. She had basic telekinesis abilities and Eric always thought she was extremely beautiful. (Especially since he always knew what she had underneath.) He always enjoyed her fascination with eagles.

It took two years of showing off in training and endless flirtation but Eric eventually won her over. At the age of 18 he had his first long term relationship (though he did have multiple flings when he was younger) and it gave him extra confidence going into his trials. The trials are a series of tests given by Church Cardinals to test whether an Immortal is ready to enter into the ranks of the Inquisitors. They begin as simple survival tests such as building fires and culminate with the 'First Hunt. The task is as the name suggests, the Immortal must find and kill a level one Hollow to complete his training. Only then can they become an Immortal. 

Eric's First Hunt was problematic. He was assigned to kill a Sprinter, or a Hollow capable of moving at an extremely fast speed. He was given basic supplies and two weapons of his choice, one of which was the same sniper he uses today. It took him less than a day to find a Sprinter's trail (different types of Hollow have different footprints) but he could tell it was small. His cocky attitude got the best of him however and he wasn't satisfied with killing a level one as his first. It took him a little less than a week but he finally found the prints of a level 2 Sprinter dangerously close to Forsaken territory. 

Once he found it, he set up his sniper a little over a mile away from his target. It was bigger than he imagined and it had brought him deep into Forsaken territory but he was determined. He targeted its knee joints where the armor was weak to cripple its ability to run. Even though he placed every shot perfectly, the Sprinter was able to find him. In under four minutes the beast had reached him. The following battle was intense. It hit him out of his snipers nest and he basically ran in circles through old ruined structures while firing his revolver behind him. It took him two hours but he eventually killed the monster. Exhausted and wounded, Eric dragged its carcass for miles back to Isolone, during which time he was ambushed by a small squad of Forsaken raiders. 

When he returned home almost a month later, he learned that most of the Inquisitors believed he was dead. They were astonished by the beast he carried behind him but Kara was more concerned about his wounds. She scolded him for taking such a stupid risk and not returning sooner but was ultimately happy to see him. The Cardinals soon granted him full Inquisitor status however he was not part of the 'graduation ceremony' held in honor of the other candidates that had left at the same time he did. His class was then dubbed a successful one as only three of its recruits were killed in action.

Eric stayed in Isolone for another year to watch Kara complete her training. After her trials (which she completed much faster than him albeit with a less impressive kill) the two traveled throughout the Dust taking jobs to kill Hollow in the name of the Church. After a year, Eric proposed and the two became wed in the capitol building of Isolone, The Cathedral. 20 years old and married, Eric was as happy as one could be in the modern world.

For four years the couple hunted Hollow together and even took mercenary protection and bounty hunting jobs. They each racked up a decent number of Hollow kills, Eric with 13 and Kara with 8. 

All good things come to an end however. While tracking level 3 Spitter (shoots acid) the couple was ambushed by a number of Forsaken slavers. The fight lasted a very long time but eventually Eric was knocked unconscious by a Forsaken who he believed was an Immortal with enhanced strength. (That's his story anyway) When he woke up Kara was gone. 

It took him a year to track down the gang that had attacked him. They had brought his wife to a small camp near the Diversum border. He killed every guard in the camp from over a mile away, to this day he has never shot as impressively. When he reached the camp he freed all of the slaves from their pins. Most didn't know what to do with their freedom. Eventually he found Kara, she was severely wounded and dying. Her last word to him before she was gone was, “you're like an eagle of old America Eric, bringing freedom to these people.” Even in death she was fascinated with the creatures. He took the Eagle as his symbol and tattooed it to the left side of his chest.

For a year he simply worked as an Inquisitor. With time he was able to overcome his grief and moved to Russel City in hopes of maybe finding his parents. After a few months he gave up and began taking jobs from the local Church office. His kill count is now up to 18.[/hider]

[color=ed1c24][h3][center]Gear[/center][/h3][/color]
Weapons:[list] *note: Eric paints all of his weapons red
[*][color=ed1c24][b]Modified Barrett M99B[/b][/color]: A popular American bolt-action sniper rifle from before the Fall which came into circulation a few years before the event. It is an upgraded version of the M98B that is lighter in weight and uses ammunition with higher armor piercing capabilities. Outfitted with a specifically modified scope that doubles Eric's already impressive sight capabilities. Complete with extended magazines to hold 10 rounds and a detachable silencer. (The silencer muffles sound but lowers damage.) 
[*][color=ed1c24][b]9mm pistol[/b][/color]: Since the M99B is his primary weapon, Eric needed another firearm to serve in closer engagements. There is nothing special about his pistol except he uses special armor piercing rounds for use against the hollow. Magazines hold up to 12 bullets.
[*][color=ed1c24][b]Tactical Combat Knife[/b][/color]: Used mostly for opening canned foods, this combat knife is nothing more than a precaution. Eric feels that if his enemy got this close to him he failed anyway. A normal combat knife with no special modifications.[/list]

Armor: Eric wears an armor made up of individually removable and reinforced leather padding on top of everyday clothing. The leather padding can be easily removed in case of contact with any type of harmful acid or poison.  He also wears a hood to cover his head from dust and sand from the wasteland and to keep his head cool. Other than that he doesn't wear very protective armor as he prefers to stay far from his enemies. His armor could be completely bypassed by a direct hit from either a bullet or a blade.

Ammunition: [list]
[*] Dirty rounds (for use against humans): 3 9mm magazines for his pistol (36) and 4 magazines of .338 for his sniper (40)
[*] High Grade Rounds (for use against hollow): 2 military grade armor piercing 9mm magazines for his pistol (24) and 3 military grade armor piercing .338 magazines laced with poison for his sniper (30)
[*] Heavy Ammunition: none[/list]
Backpack: Medkit with various anti-venom agents, 4x water bottles, single filled canteen, 2 weeks of food provisions, duct tape, small one person tent, tracking kit, fire starter, lockpick kit, thermal sleeping bag, sniper sling

Belt pouches: Compass, matches, ammunition, spare magazines, pistol, combat knife

[b]Manifested Phenomena[/b]: [color=ed1c24]sight/vision[/color]

Unique Abilities:
[color=0054a6][b]Enhanced Sight[/b][/color]: Eric's sight has been enhanced to an incredible degree. He is able to see with exacting detail anything within a five mile radius as if it were directly in front of him. He is able to focus his eyes to control how far and how clear he sees objects. This makes him extremely proficient as a sniper as he can kill a man from miles away as if they were standing two feet away from him. 
[color=0054a6][b]The All Seeing Eyes[/b][/color]: Eric is able to manipulate the way in which his eyes observe objects. Depending on how he focuses his eyes he can see through any substance from skin, to clothing, to lead as long as the object he is viewing is within ten feet. (A power he likes to abuse) He also has natural night and thermal vision which allows him to see in pitch-black darkness normally and spot heat signatures of both man and beast. 

Strengths:
[b][color=1a7b30]I Can't Miss[/color][/b]: Eric is able to hit virtually any target from any distance with any angle. He is also able, through training and study, to target specific weak points in the armor of a Hollow to pierce its skin and bring it down quick and efficiently. Because of his sight he is a proficient shot with any fire arm. 
[b][color=1a7b30]Mister Coordinated[/color][/b]: Eric's hand eye coordination is almost flawless. He can catch, throw, shoot, and dodge almost anything with as little as a reflection. This also gives advanced agility allowing him to flee from a hollow or danger whenever necessary.
[b][color=1a7b30]Let's Get Out Of Here[/color][/b]: Due to the intense nature of his profession, Eric is often fleeing for his life. He has become extremely fit and is able to sustain a sprint for a long time. Eric has very high endurance when his adrenaline is pumping. 
[b][color=1a7b30]I'll Find It For Ya[/color][/b]: Eric is an extremely gifted tracker. Whether he is tracking Hollow or people he is able to find it. His sight also allows him to examine his target's path in ways normal people would never think possible. 

Weaknesses: 
[b][color=9e0039]Stay Over There[/color][/b]: Because of his reliance on fire arms, Eric is not very proficient in close quarters combat. If someone or something gets to close to him he tends to run to spread the distance and take his enemy out from afar. While he can handle himself in close situations against normal people, he tends to lose against those trained in hand to hand combat. 
[b][color=9e0039]Did I Hear What[/color][/b]: Eric's enhanced sight has caused him to focus more on what he can see. While his other sense are not impaired, he tends to let his vision dictate his actions. 
[b][color=9e0039]Stay Away From The Light[/color][/b]: Eric's eyes have become extremely sensitive. Intensely bright explosions or flashbangs have the tendency to blind him for a short amount of time depending on the proximity.
