Though his skull structure suggests he is of gaunt stature, his high, pronounced cheekbones are held hidden under the folds of his once-infected flesh. For this reason, he has grown out a short beard to have at least some facial symmetry with the bandages on. His eyes, though, are still as warm and comforting as any old bear's - brown, oval, and almost always on the verge of tears. Too bad he can't sport the scalp to make himself just as grizzly.[/indent] Bio: [indent]Nova Scotia, in the year 2116, became a hotbed of criminal activity as the closest (and subsequently largest) trading post to Las Vegas. Nicknamed "Nova Levia" (New Leviathan) for its incredibly difficult waters and rugged weather, the small province proved difficult to access by sea or air, and so was a haven for some more clandestine enterprises and, if you could steal your way to a plane or boat, some of the most damnably insane pilots in the world.[/indent] [indent]To even get to that position, though, one had to grind through the shithole that was the hierarchy of Nova Levia by credit and loyalty to some very disloyal bosses, or, if one was insane enough, mug a pilot. Alphonse did just that when he was 16, and stole his plane : an Antonov An-2. He barely managed to land on what was now Iceland, where he contracted his leprosy by working the fields in exchange for fuel.[/indent] [indent]In a panic, he was able to fly to Ireland, and was immediately met with the people's ire for foreigners. Fortunately, when his face was smashed by a molotov cocktail, most of his leprosy was burned off. So, he flew to the south of UK, towards the little island of Corsica, where he received the rest of his treatment by the significantly kindlier townspeople. Old habits, especially vices, died hard, and soon he found himself on the way to the bastion of Zugspitze for rape. His victim was later found to also have been infected with leprosy, and was subsequently exiled to Zugspitze to testify against him.[/indent] [indent]Alphonse survived the first 5 years raising a daughter with a woman who was too weak to even walk outside. At the time, few could be trusted with the girl, so Alphonse raised his daughter, Theresa, to stick by him and him only. His sentence to capital punishment was averted by his merit of fatherhood, and so the two waited for the right moment...in Rikers. Apparently, having a daughter doesn't mean shit if you broke 25 noses in defense of a child, so in reality, he had to thank Chavez and Sparks for the opportunity, even if they didn't really know him.[/indent] Theme Song: [indent][url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58HBTJF5mHA[/url][/indent] [/hider] [h1]PLANE[/h1] [hider=Old Fart]Name: EB-52 "Old Fart" (Nicknamed so because of its age and silent, deadly capabilities).

Maximum weight : 488000 lb. [/list] Weaknesses: Weight is always an issue, as heavier loads allow for more damage in a single run, but requires more time and energy to get to place to place. Too heavy, and the craft may not be suitable at all to engage fighter or even other bombers. Too light, and the craft will have no more payloads to bring... Past Encounter: [indent]It was interesting, to say the least, that just prior to its hijacking by Alphonse, its entire crew had disappeared on a routine patrol flight across the Bermuda Triangle from Panama. Thinking the craft was haunted now, most people never bothered to touch the heavily armed bomber, and so it remained as sort of a relic of an old world. Alphonse notes the presence of suspicious shadows as merely his paranoia and distrust of others, so it doesn't really affect him. His daughter is the one driving him nuts, because they drive her nuts.[/indent][/hider]
