Just finished up my private eye, who's more along the lines of a cyberpunk Max Payne than Rick Deckard or what-have-you really. Do tell if there's anything I need to change. Honestly kind of nervous because I feel this isn't as much up to par as everybody else's sheets. [hider=The World Weary Private Eye][center][color=slateblue][b]Name:[/b][/color] Jack Tanner [color=slateblue][b]Sex:[/b][/color] Male [color=slateblue][b]Age:[/b][/color] 40 [color=slateblue][b]Race:[/b][/color] Human [color=slateblue][b]Appearance:[/b][/color] [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/71/MaxPayneMP3.jpg/235px-MaxPayneMP3.jpg]Jack[/url] is a rather worn down looking man. Body wise he's averagely built (if a bit flabby) and stands at 6'1. His brown hair has a few streaks of grey and his blue eyes are often scanning the immediate area for any signs of trouble. Usually his attire consist of a waist-length leather coat, a white dress shirt, a tie, and black slacks with tennis shoes, giving the impression that he's dressing for casual Friday at work. He has a world weary air about him, as though he's been to Hell and back and is waiting to make the return trip. [color=slateblue][b]Abilities:[/b][/color] [i]Gun-Fu[/i] - Jack has an uncanny ability with guns, elevating marksmanship to an art form. Whether it be picking off enemies with a rifle or laying down cover fire with a submachine gun, he's the man to go to when you need something shot up. He is, however, still human, and prefers to do a lot of his shooting behind cover rather than facing bullets head on. [i]Keen Observation[/i] - ... But the above ability is more of a back-up, in case things go sour. To Jack, violence is a last resort. He instead prefers to use his keen eye and deductive abilities to solve any problems he comes across. He also puts this to use when forced into combat, being able to spot cover and potential ways to take out hostiles fast. [color=slateblue][b]Weaponry and Equipment:[/b][/color] Jack's equipment, due to his low income, is rather old and on the unreliable side. He carries on him at all times his old service pistol, [url=http://cyberpunk.asia/images/Arasaka_C740.jpg]a HexCo model [i]Valkyrie[/i][/url], which uses rather primitive lead bullets over more advanced energy units. In terms of strength, it can be compared to an old world nine millimeter pistol. The gun holds twelve shots. The only other things he carries are the clothes on his back, though this may change with time. [color=slateblue][b]Backstory and Goals:[/b][/color] Jack Tanner was born forty years ago to a working class couple living in a rather derelict part of the city, where crime was rampant and poverty was the status quo. Growing up, he idolized the Enforcers, a group of mercenaries who were hired on as private security by countless companies. His parents weren't exactly open to the idea of their child joining up with a rather dangerous group, but this didn't stop Jack, and he joined the Enforcers at the age of 18. Jack's work for the Enforcers mostly revolved around protecting HexCo, one of the biggest megacorps in the city. During his time with them, Jack near constantly had to face off against numerous criminals who wanted some of the corporation's finances to themselves. It was hard work, but it paid well and allowed him to move to a more savory part of town. It also led to him meeting his wife Kate, who worked for HexCo. The pair had a daughter, Melanie, when Jack was 26, and all seemed well. Until it wasn't. Two years later, the Tanner home was targeted by rebels who wanted to topple HexCo, and Kate and Melanie were killed. This led Jack into a deep depression, as he blamed himself for not being there to protect them. This deep depression helped spawn his alcoholism, and eventually this led to his quitting the Enforcers at the age of 32 to become a private investigator. Jack's work as a private eye was less exciting than his work for the Enforcers, his jobs mostly being snapping photos of unfaithful spouses or digging through records to information on a missing person. There were a few exciting jobs that involved gunplay, but those were few and far between. Still, it kept him afloat and paid for his bourbon. Recently, he took on a job from a woman who claimed that an android was stalking her, and asked him to... "Deal with the problem". Jack normally didn't take jobs like that, but he was desperate for cash at the time and said yes. After tracking the android down and killing him, he heard a strange buzzing noise within the android's head and pried it open, finding some sort of radio. It told him of the End of the City, and how if he went to it his greatest desire would come true. This sparked a brief bit of hope within him that he could bring back his wife and daughter by going there. With determination in his step, he went back home, hellbent on heading to the End of the City to get back what's his.[/center][/hider]
