This is Kriss, my character from a previous RP (that never even started). I'm posting it 1. Because I'm in bed and want to save a slot, and 2. It lists out his personality, strengths, weaknesses, biography and appearance. I'll edit it appropriately for this RP if you like him.

Besides the dog tags he never takes off, he wears a Loft Jacket (Snow Camouflage), black "USMC" shirt, Combat Pant LE01 (Snow Camouflage), and black waterproof trail boots. He has a pair of black nylon gloves and a half-mask if it gets cold and silver-tinted aviator sunglasses if it gets sunny. For more casual wear, he wears a blue fleece jacket, dark blue jeans (and the black USMC shirt, and the boots). He also wears a - Silver Falcon steel military wristwatch (http://www.specialopswatch.com/products-page/falcons/silver-falcon/), a gift from an officer who was friends with his father.

Personality: Disciplined, reliable, and polite, Kriss treats others with respect whether they deserve it or not. He is prepared to do the right thing, whatever it is, no matter how popular or unpopular it may be. He always has a goal, even if it's just "Make it through today alive." In the Marines, he was an active member of a team, but on his own he's a bit reserved, refusing to butt into conversations and leaving them immediately if they head in a direction he doesn't like. If you aren't already a friend, approach with caution. Friendly as he is, he is more than capable of silencing you (in more ways than one) if you seem like a threat. Please be nice.

Biography: Kriss's father, Günther Alexander Mauser, was a pilot in the [i]TaktLwG33[/i], or Tactical Air Force Wing 33, for twenty years. At age 40, he spent several months in America, where he met a registered nurse in the U.S. Army. Four years and one marriage later, Kristoffer Alexander Mauser was born. His father and mother brought the rigid, strict lifestyle into the home. As a result, Kriss more or less lived in his own version of boot camp. You were up on time, home on time, and asleep on time. No booze, no drugs, no cigarettes. His parents were saved Christians, so you went to church every week and dressed for it. It was a lifestyle that a majority of teenagers would kill to get out of, but it stuck to him.

He was an active participant in the JNROTC in high school, graduating and joining the US Marine Corps at age 18. He entered the Marine Aviation department (after the 28-week "Basic School," which was his home life on steroids and then some), following his father in aviation combat. He dedicated himself to Christ as well, and reads a pocket bible and prays as part of his daily schedule, which includes a detailed workout and diet routine. As a result, he is clear-minded and extremely muscular. Despite the stereotype, Kriss chose to live under the "terms and conditions" his parents set. He saw safety in having rules and a plan for your life, rather than hindrance, and it has consistently kept him out of trouble.

In the future, Kriss wants to join the "Black Knights" Fighter Attack Squadron. He has the Black Knights "VMFA-314" (the name of the squadron is VMFA-314) patch stitched onto the left sleeve of his loft jacket for inspiration.

Major In College: Kriss recently decided to go back and finish his education with a proper university degree. The Marines offer to pay 100% of student tuition expenses for remaining on active duty, so that's exactly what he did. As of now, Kriss is one year towards a degree in Civil Engineering, though that is subject to change.
