[u][b]Name:[/b][/u] Jacob Taylor [u][b]Alias:[/b][/u] Exile [u][b]Nationality:[/b][/u] English [u][b]Age:[/b][/u] 25 [u][b]Gender:[/b][/u] Male [u][b]Physique/Appearance/Clothing:[/b][/u] [img]http://www.rpgbooster.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Nuclear-Snail-Studios-Post-Apocalyptic-soldier-armour-LARP-outfit-Fallout-Resistance-Fighter.png[/img] Exile isn't very big, standing at 5'9" and weighing only about 67 kilograms. His hair is light brown, and pretty long for a stalker, while his eyes are a faded green. You can tell he's not the strongest guy around, but his muscles are well toned at least. His clothing is somewhat... non-traditional for most stalkers. He wears a green woodland Battle Dress Uniform with a similarly colored shemagh over a black shirt, but his pants are a pair of thin dark blue jeans, and in place of the usual pair of combat boots he wears a pair of lighter, more casual-looking black canvas boots. He also generally wears black fingerless gloves, a watch on his left arm, and a necklace with a 7.62x54mmR casing. [u][b]Spoken Languages:[/b][/u] English (fluent); French (functioning); Russian (rudimentary/circumstantial knowledge) [u][b]Faction:[/b][/u] Loner. Former Freedom with ties to them and the Sentinels. [u][b]Reputation:[/b][/u] Exile is known for practically being the namesake of a loner. Though he used to be in Freedom, it was mostly a gimmick title they gave him because they were low on men and he helped them out fairly regularly. Still, he does at least somewhat adhere to Freedom's ideals, in that he believes the zone should be open to those who wish to come, though lately, with the zone taking the strange turns that it has, his ideals have been shifting a bit. He still sees the zone as a wonder to the world which holds the key to solving many of humanity's problems, but he also recognizes that it's expansion, if gone unchecked, will put several people who want nothing to do with the zone at risk, thus he has left Freedom, though he has several contacts within Freedom. Aside from his loyalties and ideals, he is known for helping stalkers in need and hunting people who give others a hard time, and a lot of people hold him in high regard for that. He has never failed to ask a passerby if they need an extra can of food, or a bandage, or something like that, and he has been known to give stalkers who are shot within inches of their lives that one bandage that stops them from bleeding out. He's a giver to those who need or deserve it, and a taker for those who themselves take. He's one of those people who are more likely to fight for a friend than for himself, and while that all sounds a little too idyllic, he does what he does, and he does it well. The only problem is that he's generally quiet and doesn't form very personal relationships easily. There's only one person which he is known to maintain permanent contact with, and that's the person who came to the zone with him. No one really knows who he is, aside from the staff at the Sentinel base in Petrovsk.

[u][b]Strengths:[/b][/u] Perceptive - Exile has always had a talent for picking up on things others might miss, and this can allow him to tell when something bad is about to happen. Kalashnikov's Unrelated Son - Exile knows every AK-type rifle inside and out, and can easily diagnose and fix mechanical/maintenance issues if he has the right tools. Quasi-Ninja - Exile is a regular practitioner of parkour, making him good at navigating abnormal terrain quickly. Swordsman - Exile is one of the exceedingly few stalkers who uses a sword, and one of the even fewer who know how to use it. Despite what most may think, he is really good at fending off mutants with it. Seasoned Shooter - Exile's aim with most firearms is not exceptional, but it's above par compared to a lot of stalkers. The Twitch - As some stalkers do, Exile has developed a twitch which can alert him to an imminent emission. Mental Map - Exile knows the zone quite well outside of the Red Forest, and is often employed as a guide. [u][b]Weaknesses:[/b][/u] True Loner - Exile rarely works in groups, making him somewhat enigmatic given his philanthropic nature. If ever he needs to ask for help, there's not many people he can reliably call upon. Troubled Past - Exile's past is unknown to everyone except him and exactly one other stalker, and he will avoid the subject whenever it comes up. At least one stalker has taken note of a time in which Exile seemed to exhibit the "thousand-yard stare," suggesting that he may suffer from PTSD. Mutant Bait - While most of the common mutants don't give him much problems, some of the rarer mutants will freak him out. Bloodsuckers specifically scare the shit out of him, not to mention any number of mutants he has yet to see for himself. If it's something he hasn't seen before, and it's ugly enough, you bet he'll turn and run before fighting it. Anomaly fodder - Exile has never been artifact hunting, thus he never really learned how to navigate anomaly fields. He can avoid a lone anomaly easy enough, but he would find a field or cluster of them to be too dangerous to traverse without help.
