Name: Cleon Mantis
Age: 23
Gender: male
Appearance: [img]http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/NDAxWDUwMA==/z/57IAAOSw7NNUBOiE/$_35.JPG[/img] His uniform is faded from years of use and not getting a newone, as he hates spending the money on the military. 

Position: Marine machinegunner, corporal.

Personality: Very laid back almost all of the time. It's rare to see him overly emotional. He has a very monotone voice and likes to talk in a new age hippy sounding way (copious use of the words "man", "vibes", and anything else that sounds less than intelligent). It's not often you see him, as he is an expert sham artist and manages to fly under the radar enough to avoid hundreds of work details. He can be found in different areas, with his uniform out of regulation and his hands in his pockets. All of that aside, he is anything but irresponsible, and is a very capable marine in the field and in combat. So calm, people have accused him of substance abuse on many occasions. He likes to be called the "Rooster". His favorite song is Rooster by Alice In Chains.

Notable skills: He can out ruck any marine any day of the week. He can carry the heaviest of loadouts, and is a squad machinegunner. He is very good at avoiding work and trouble. Very cool and calm under pressure. The last combat mission be was on he could be seen smiling as he fired his machine gun into terrorists and rebels, so we know he loves his job as machine gunner.

History: He grew up working under his father, who was anot engine mechanic. He grew under his father's tutelage, and his father wanted him to become a great engineer, but Cleon had smaller ambitions in mind. He wanted to find a steady job that would give him plenty of travel and a reasonable pay check. So he chose the Marine Corp. His father hasn't forgiven him since. His mother is the only one who talks to him, plus his siblings. 

Most of his siblings were more educated than him and more academically inclined. He wanted more action and travel. Of course he didn't realize all the bothersome work details he would be in store for.
Cleon has served for four years now and shows no ambitions of leaving or moving up higher as he does enjoy doing his job, unless it involves a work detail.
