Name: Sarah McDowell Nicknames/Aliases: Irish Rose, Rose, Alice Melandin, Bridget Erickson, Melanie Rochester Age: 26 Appearance: Sarah stands at 5’8” and weighs roughly 10 stones (~142lbs) with a light athletic build designed for endurance and stamina. Atop her head is a mess of bright red-orange hair, cut in a short ‘boyish’ style, and her eyes are a piercing sapphire blue. Though she clearly looks like she could be 'stage beautiful' if she wore a dress and put a bit of effort in, she rarely takes time to do her hair or put on makeup giving her a rather plain, or even tomboyish, look. She can often be seen wearing a tactical vest over a black or tan T-Shirt along with leather gloves, military pants and combat boots: all fitting a grey urban camouflage or a blue navy camouflage pattern. Height: 5’8” Weight: 142lbs -- Weapon(s): M16A2 - modified with a heavy barrel and 4x20 Rifle Scope, she will mount it with a silencer if the mission calls for stealth or an under barrel grenade launcher if the mission calls for ‘bang’. M1911A1 – usually loaded with FMJ rounds or Hollow-points. M32 Grenade Launcher IED’s – several different kinds of improvised explosives for multiple scenarios and situations typically made from pieces of household electronics, C4, and Dynamite. -- Personality: Sarah is cheerful and optimistic, often the rallying force when things look grim. Though she will do what it takes to complete a mission and get paid, often with a lot of collateral property damage, she has a soft spot for young children and still sends a portion of her funds back to the orphanage she was raised in. When not on the job she often spends her time making pipe-bombs, maintaining her equipment, or browsing the internet for new methods on developing homemade C4. --- History: Sarah was born to a poor family outside of Belfast, Ireland. Both her parents were active Irish Republican Army (IRA) members at the time and her early years were marked with danger and violence as the IRA was frequently in open combat with British military forces. When she was 9 years old he parents were betrayed and caught in an ambush during an IRA meeting and were subsequently killed, leaving Sarah as an orphan. She was shipped off to a well-meaning, though incredibly impoverished, orphanage where she spent the next twelve years continuing her parents legacy. She studied and trained in the ways of urban combat and excelled at the creation of improvised explosives, orchestrating several attacks on government buildings and British Army stations. Finally, at the age of 21 she participated in the biggest attack in IRA history and killed a high-priority member of Parliament. This sent the British Army and MI-16 into a frenzy and in the backlash Sarah was forced to flee her home country after several other IRA members were killed. She would spend the next four years on the run, traveling around the world using different names and aliases and doing mercenary work to support herself. Her explosive skills and knowledge of urban warfare were invaluable to rebel groups in the Middle East and Europe's Eastern Bloc and she sold her services for great prices in these areas during the Gulf War and the early years of the Bosnian War respectively. British Military Intelligence was persistent, however, and Sarah could sense them drawing ever closer to catching her. It was for this reason that she finally decided to take her services to Roanapur, that lawless place where the forces of the first world fear to tread. -- Other: Sarah never uses her true name, always going with an alias or simply ‘Rose’, and is likely still being pursued by British Military Intelligence. She is fluent in German, Russian, and Arabic. She is conversational in Serbo-Croatian.
