[hider=Daniel Østergaard] [b][u]Name:[/u][/b] Daniel Østergaard [b][u]Age:[/u][/b] 29 [b][u]Gender:[/u][/b] Male [b][u]Profession:[/u][/b] Rifleman [b][u]Nationality & Affiliation:[/u][/b] Danish; EU [b][u]Birthplace:[/u][/b] Earth, Denmark, Køge [b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b] Daniel stands at 168 centimeters and is a rather well built fellow. His brown regulation haircut matches his beard he’s grown mainly to conceal a scar running from his right ear to his chin. He has blue eyes, typical for his country, and is rarely seen without a Danish military field cap. [b][u]Strengths:[/u][/b] [list] [*]When he sets his mind onto something, he won't be distracted easily. This can can backfire, however, as he might be focused on something less important instead of something more important. [*]Daniel is extensively trained in close quarters combat and urban warfare, making operating in confined spaces easier for him. [*]The safety and well being of his squadmates are paramount to him and he will go out of his way to ensure it if he can. [/list] [b][u]Weaknesses:[/u][/b] [list] [*]Daniel never expects things to go well. This can make him irritate other people or make him focus on perceived or non-existent threats in stressful situations. [*]He has a hard time adapting to unexpected situations when out of contact with a superior. [*]Due to nearly drowning in his youth, Daniel suffers from aquaphobia and can start panicking whenever he gets as much as splashed with water unexpectedly. [/list] [b][u]Personality:[/u][/b] Though Daniel is sarcastic and sometimes rude, he's happy to engage in idle chat. While he's not the brightest star himself, he tends to get frustrated when faced with people that take a while to understand him, although it may not be their fault. In combat, he prefers to be the grunt because he doesn't feel confident making decisions, especially those that can cost lives. He has an annoying tendency to switch to encyclopedia mode when people ask about weaponry or military history. [b][u]History:[/u][/b] Daniel was raised on the outskirts of Køge. With fields and forests on one side and a public sports center on the other, he fell in love with sports quickly, leading to a good physical condition. He enlisted at the age of 22. In addition to basic training, he underwent specialised urban warfare training, but never progressed through the ranks due to his indecisive nature. He volunteered for the Willman Laboratory mission mainly to gain new experience as he never left Earth before.
