Name: Trevor Hickory

Age: 26

Nationality: German

Appearance: Black shaggy hair and hazel eyes. Very defined jaw bones, and fairly short in height with lean, formed musculature. 

Biography: Trevor grew up on his own most his life. He bounced from home to home within the system for the first years of his life, and when he turned 12 he left his current caretakers and vanished from the system with his best friend Tania. Never wanting to be apart of anything that could track him or make him do things that made him feel stifled, he and Tania lived on the go, never settling down longer than a year at most. They made their living from "confiscating" funds from agencies and programs they deemed unsuited for the capital. They became good at extorting, moving unseen, and hiding in plain sight. Tania was very good at the talking and grifting, while Trevor handled the subtle art of appropriating. They made many enemies with many gangs and thugs, making it necessary for them to learn to fight with guns just as well as with hand-to-hand weapons.
When Trevor was 22, he and Tania came into contact with a Thin Man. They knew about the alien invasions taking place, but they'd never had to worry about it as long as it didn't effect them. Then when they were confronted with a Thin Man, they were terribly outmatched and had to use all their skills in non-detection... and it still wasn't enough. Trapped on top of a building with the Thin Man making his way up the stairs to the rooftop where they hid, they had no choice but to climb down the outside of the three-story building. They made it one story down and didn't even have time to find a window to climb back into before the Thin Man discovered them and fired down at them from the rooftop. Tania was hit and fell without a sound. Trevor already knew she was dead before she hit the ground. With no alternative, he jumped the remaining height onto a patch of grass. He performed a roll back onto his feet, and before he could register any pain, he sprinted away as fast as he could, vowing vengeance for Tania. After he recovered from his fall and heartbreak, he was contacted by XCOM because of his innate tactical ability, and firsthand experience with the alien threat.

Base of Operations: Europe

Squad: (Will be assigned)

Class: Ranger

Rank: Squaddie

Personality: Very quiet and standoffish. He assesses situations well in advance before taking any action. He is closed off to anyone new until they gain his trust, then he is voraciously loyal. Because he had spent his life taking it upon himself to assess the nature of people he targeted, to determine if they were bad people and unworthy of their money, he tends to be very blunt when asked questions; both to give short answers, but also to see how people react when he tells them things they don't expect to hear. He finds that's usually when you see people's true colors.

Other: He prefers to sleep on the ground. Growing up as he did, beds were a luxury and he now prefers the comfort of minimalism. He owns only what's necessary for his immediate task, changing through his items as it suits him.

Strengths: He is very good at going unseen and quiet. He is quick and agile, using his speed in close quarters more than brute strength. Very loyal when befriended. He is honest in everything he does and thinks everyone else should be the same.

Weaknesses: (Anything that has a noticeable negative impact on your character such as Trust issues or Fears) He lacks strength to the fullest. Because he relies so heavily on his speed and agility, he is very minimally armored. His loyalty is both a strength and a weakness; if put in a situation of whether to sacrifice a friend or a population, he would save the friend. He is honest to a fault. His tongue sometimes getting him into more trouble than he can easily get out of.

Psionic-Potential: Yes

Mech Soldier Candidate No
