He has green eyes, brown hair and pale skin. •Personality: Dustin is a cool headed man when off of the field and can be a source of entertainment for his fellow soldiers. He cares for his brothers in arms and will put his life on the line for them without a second thought. On the battlefield though he is cold towards his enemies and will take pleasure in killing them, though he does well to hide his joy when in combat. •Brief Backstory: Dustin grew up within the slums of the Grandia Empire and lived along side his fellow street urchins and little sister. They stole, fought and cheated to ensure their survival. Though at the age of twelve he allowed himself to be caught by the authorities when trying to rob a rich citizen to let his sister and fellow urchins escape. He was thrown in prison and suffered its harsh and neglectful conditions seeing as how the guards saw him as just another rat that dirtied their homes. Through merciless beatings and cruel starvation Dustin grew to hate his homeland and was ready to curse its name. That is until Emmett Frederick, a captain within the empires military did his monthly browse of potential soldiers. They were much cheaper this way. Dustin despised the man once he picked him out along side a handful of other imprisoned thugs and dragged him to the nearest military base for training. Dustin had arrived at that base with hatred for his own homeland, but the first night there he was fed, bathed and given proper treatment. Hell, even Emmett arranged for meals of their choosing to be made for them. Dustin and the others who were picked simply questioned the man with hesitation. Emmett simply smiled and said, [i]"I treat all men with great potential as if they were my own."[/i] They were all confused and somewhat shocked. They had potential in this mans eyes, even though they were just your common criminals. Dustin saw the man in a new light and decided to give this military life style a chance. Years have past now and Dustin and the original band of thugs and criminals have grown into fine soldiers. Dustin was even able to house his past street urchins and sister with the help of Emmett. His love for his country has now changed and he is prepared to give his life to protect all he has earned. •Abilities: Dustin is known to use little of his magic, but when he does it is clear there is potential. There is even talk of moving him and his men to a Greatarmor unit just because of how talented he is. •Skills: More than excellent when it comes to marksmen ship, has what some would call a [i]'hawks eye'[/i] when it comes to spotting things from a distance, can raise moral without even trying and is finally quick thinking and resourceful in desperate situations. •Equipment: A standardized semi-automatic rifle of the imperial army, a pistol gifted to him by Emmett, trench knife, grenades, backpack to carry the essentials and a watch given to him by his sister. •Origin: Native
