He grew up in a stable home environment and an even more stable learning environment. Most would consider is background boring, and they would be right. He never had to struggle in life as his parents were middle class. And though he did not have expensive or fancy things other kids did, he certainly had more in his life than others. He attended the University of Texas at San Antonio but dropped out in his junior year as he absolutely hated being in college. Though it was a disappointment to his parents, they still loved and cared for him. When he was 21 he joined the United States Army as airborne infantry. His first duty station was Fort Richardson Alaska to the 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) 25th Infantry Division. There, he learned many things from basic arctic survival to airborne and infantry operations. It is also here that he developed many of the 'fine' habits he carries today (such as excessive smoking, complaining, and cursing like a madman).[/indent] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/Y82TQQl.png[/img][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/cvriLGB.png[/img][/center] [color=03a3d7]Personality[/color] [indent]On the outside Isaac Arnaud is just a regular guy. Helpful to a certain degree and will always lend a hand if asked to. He will not bother others unless provoked and is not afraid of resorting to violence to solve problems. But he prefers to keep things civil between himself and others. Isaac does not believe in babysitting people and is annoyed easily by those who have no motivation to help themselves. On the inside Isaac is a very arrogant person who keeps his thoughts to himself. He believes himself to be above others physically, but knows mentally he is likely at the bottom of the totem poll. Think of him as a closeted asshole.[/indent] [color=03a3d7]Quirks | Habits [/color] [indent]Likes to bite the inside of his cheek, spits on the ground when bored, and complains a lot.[/indent] [color=03a3d7]Likes & Dislikes[/color] + Tobacco + Energy Drinks + Shamming + Sleeping In + Drinking to Excess + Hunting/Fishing + Strip Clubs + Counting his ETS date - Effeminate men - The Weak - Those Unwilling to Try - Cold Weather - The Army [color=03a3d7]In-Depth Appearance[/color] [indent]Isaac stands 6'2 with an athletic body frame from years of physical training in the army. He has large hazel colored eyes and an ambiguous skin tone leaving many wondering what his ethnicity is. His hair is usually cut with a mid-fade, but being on permissive leave has let stubble form on his face. On the flight he wore comfortable clothing consisting of a pair of black jeans, steel-toe hiking boots, a flannel shirt, and a comfortable brown canvas jacket on top.[/indent] [color=03a3d7]Accessories, Tattoos, Scars, etc.[/color] [indent]He has a cheap watch on his left wrist that's set to 24 hour time.[/indent] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/Y82TQQl.png[/img][/center] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/2mQrEFw.png[/img][/center] [color=03a3d7]Contents of Suitcase[/color] [indent]Five pairs of clothes, extra sets of socks and undergarments, a few winter jackets here and there, laptop plus charger, and a Bowie knife from home locked in a strong box.[/indent] [color=03a3d7]Contents of Carry-On Bag[/color] [indent]Black SOC backpack with a single complete set of clothes, fifty feet of 550 cord tied in a daisy chain, ID tags, ID card, leave form, phone and charger, zippo lighter (somehow made it past security), cigarettes and dip.[/indent] [color=03a3d7]Business or Pleasure?[/color] [indent]Pleasure, returning to place of duty from leave.[/indent] [color=03a3d7]Indoor or Outdoor Type?[/color] [indent]Outdoors. Loves to hike, fish, and hunt. No experience rock climbing or hunting with a bow.[/indent] [color=03a3d7]Role Play Sample[/color] [indent] If there was one thing Isaac wanted to do, returning back to base was last on that list. He sighed heavily as he took his seat near the window and attempted to mentally prepare himself for the days ahead of him. He got lucky his command approved his leave form to attend his friend's destination wedding (an expensive one at that) and he knew he was all out of favors. At least his friends from his unit were waiting for him to return back home. Barracks life sucks, but when you have good people around you, it can make your time in the army a pleasurable one (even if there is no pleasure about being in the army). His hazel eyes glanced out the window beside him observing the tarmac. Thoughts of static line jumps popped into his head further increasing his sense of oncoming dread. His expiration term of service was coming up, and despite the opportunities the Army Career and Alumni Program provides, he has no idea what exactly he wants to do once he gets out of the military. Thoughts of reenlisting popped up in his mind, but his days of doing dumb things in the name of busy work made him anxious that any next duty station would be any better. But who was he convincing? He knew deep down he would probably try to reenlist for Italy with the 173rd Airborne. His eyes ran through the headlines in the news. Protests, progressive leftism, continuous debates about things he had never concerned himself with confused him. Isaac did not belong in the civilian world, rather, he knew he would have trouble adapting and reintegrating himself back in the land of the free. He was used to the concrete and predictable structure the army provided. And as much as he complains about the army, he was familiar with it. Images of being out of place in the country he swore to protect terrified him to a great extent. The feeling that he had not done enough with his life, that he wasted precious years fighting in a hellhole with nothing to show for it, caused deep thoughts of inadequacy to plague his mind. If he were to be honest, he felt like he was left behind. Friends from college and high school were already beginning great careers, traveling the world, getting married, and building their families. It made his own life feel pathetic in comparison. What did he have to show for it? A few combat deployments and a whole lot of bad memories. Isaac is definitely skipping his high school reunion. “I just want to disappear,” he thought. [/indent] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/Y82TQQl.png[/img][/center]
