[hider=Harold "Juppy" Bjornson]
Name: Harold Bjornson
Alias: Juppy
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Disposition: 

Cheerful, humorous, get 'er done!

He's the kind that stays 'in character', the one that loves laughing and provides something to either laugh at or tell to shut up, every time. And, while being that guy that you could pour your heart out to and get it in return- he's got a real heart of gold- he acknowledges the shittiness of the world, and gladly takes a paycheck to shoot it up. A morally right, honorable guy. 

Harold is a man who has seen all manner of people, tried all manner of food, and has been beaten up by a great many people- so he's since then figured that every, regardless of nation, has just as good as bad, and it just depends on how they use it. He's a bit of an unforgiving guy, though, because he believes that if you do wrong, you [i]decided[/i] to do it, and that's a great offense to him. He's well aware that some people are more violent, or will curse more- but act wrong and he'll not forget.

History: 
A native Sodroyan, he's a blend of everyone from all over the world, his household being a great big multistyled house that expanded with the family- which now numbers in the dozens, in an oddly chaotic but routine lifestyle of sharing and caring. Amid lots of screaming.

Many questioned his reasons of going into fighting- quite simply, he didn't want to get beaten up on, and he had a talent for information- for command and control. He served in the military, joining up as soon as possible, and quickly found himself as a tactician and planner, an adviser to the more experienced officers. After the bureaucratic bullshit tired him, Harold quit the military, resigning within a week all of a sudden, and going out to buy a really nice mech- and started suiting it up when he realized that he didn't have all the funds.

And so he joined the Preying Panthers. ("Hehehe, the Pee-Pee. Sounds friggin odd, but I got my hope!")

Other: Does the history need to be written out beforehand or can I make it up as I go? Whatwith the "past doesn't matter, this is your new family" and all.[/hider]
