As I discussed with you on discord. For the most part its a repeat of a character I tried to play elsewhere, so let me know if something doesn't fit.

Standing 1.72m with a full-face beard and speed dealers, Pieter would be a relatively nondescript character from a distance if not for the maze that covers his left forearm and the lighter texture of a burn scar that covers his right arm. Up close, however, the left corner of his lip draws up from a scar that crosses his chin and up towards his eye, and burn scars are visible poking up above the collar of his shirt. Despite three decades of abuse and burns that cover most of his upper body, Pieter is in good shape (though his knees complain about the cold). Muscular through constant use rather than body building.

His parents were both killed during civil war conflicts in Rhodesia, and he was sent to South Africa as an orphan. At the age of 18, he enlisted in the South African Defence Force, and upon completing basic training Gunn went on to Parachute Selection Course school. He served various roles within the Parachute Brigade in South-West Africa, Nambia, and on domestic COIN operations. Eventually he was posted as a Sergeant within the Signals Platoon in the 44 Brigade HQ. After majority rule was established in South Africa in 1994, he became disenfranchised with the work he had spent his life doing and what now appeared to be the permanent loss of his homeland and left the SAA, finding work alongside many of his former comrades working with various PMCs that operated out of Central Africa. Pieter avoided the Sandline affair in PNG but worked for the company in Sierra Leone and Liberia. When the company folded, he found work during the second golden era of PMCs, sucking on the teat of the US Dept of Defence with Aegis Defence. At various points between his retirement from the SAA and employment with Centurion it is believed he was also operating as a smuggler of diamonds and arms in and out of African conflict zones (also Kosovo in 1997). During the latter period of his employment with Aegis he was working in a Signals specialty role, assisting coalition forces in tracking down insurgent leaders through SIGINT. In 2012 he was employed by Centurion to work in small mobile security details as a signals and information security specialist for high-risk clients who couldn’t have a large security footprint.[/indent] [b]Psychological Profile:[/b] [indent] For the most part, Pieter is a grounded, emotionally stable character, well adapted to life in the African bush. During his off times he's prone to abuse alcohol and light drugs, and has used morphine and heroin in the past. He is an open character and easily creates bonds with his comrades, eager to be in the company of others, although still can be very dismissive when dealing with black Africans. Pieter is a quick thinker, and will often consider several out-of-the-box ideas however once he has decided on a course of action he is very stubborn on following it through. He has a lot of patience when dealing with stressful events however will get very short with people.
