[quote=@Andreyich] [hider=Very WIP] Name: Laurence (Laurie) Mathieu Age: 29 Gender: Male Appearance: About 192 cenimetres in height, Laurie has dark hair on the border of black and brown, swamp green eyes and peach skin near-permanently tinted rose by the sun. He has a wiry frame, insuring he has only somewhat more muscle than ordinary in his lean build, his feet and hands covered in scars and calluses. His right thigh has a quite nasty scar from an alligator bite and a somewhat deformed navel from a gunshot that landed in it. His hair will generally be in a mess with a vague attempt to comb it down and cropped but noticeable sideburns going down either side. The Ranger has somewhat shapely ears and an ever so slight cleft chin.

Background: This is where you flex how good your writing and research into your character goes. Are they a scientist or scholar? A career criminal? A federal agent? A state detective? You are the cowboy, the idealist, the unfettered, grizzled veteran with one last op in him, or the person not knowing what he's getting himself into. You are motivated and believe in what you're doing, half the reason you were picked. The other half is that you've brushed shoulders with the unknown in some way but have yet to go mad; come across some weird stuff in the Afghan mountains, seized some weird artifacts on a raid, busted a small-time religious cult while undercover. Cognitive dissonance worked wonders, it seems, because instead of a gibberish mess you’re pretty alright. Personality: Try to get detailed with this. You'll want to know how they'll react if they ever come across a drug-fueled sacrificial blood orgy to Nyarlathotep. Family, Friends, and Associates: Wife? Kids? Ma and Pa? Best Friend? any and all go here. Likes: Pretty girls, honesty, nature, good honest work and virtue in general. Dislikes: criminals, vice, lies, and general absence of virtue. Fears: Laurence is not a little pussy, he'll state that to anyone and he'll have much to verify this claim. There isn't really anything one could think of off the top of their head that would get him to be frightened. But that's because most people couldn't think outside the box for his case. What frightens Laurie is that which is unknown, and that which cannot be understood. The idea of something that there are no words to describe, the possibility that something one cannot wrap their heads around exist gives him the chills at any time of the day. Skills: Gifted: Awareness, SERE Adept: Marksmanship - Long guns, Marksmanship - Handguns, Hand-to-Hand Average: First aid, Crafting, Tactical Driving Novice: Computer Science, Law, Engine Mechanics, Subterfuge Languages: Spanish, French (somewhere between proper Parisien and Louisiana French), Latin Weaknesses: At least one nonphysical and physical weakness. Off-Duty Clothing/Equipment: Laurie likes the perfect centre of the venn diagram of comfort, appearance and practicality. Clothing: Depending on the weather and occasion, anything from a polo-shirt with shorts, to a confederate-flag adorned leather jacket with jeans, to a swanky three-piece suit. Weapons: M1911 with a spare magazine Tools/Equipment: His phone, his watch, a compass, with variance and bits of his on-duty equipment should he feel it could be useful. Operational Clothing/Equipment: As a Park Ranger in some more remote areas of nastier states, Laurie has to deal with quite a wide variety of bullshit and must be prepared for all of it. Lost tourists, moonshining hillbillies, drug cooking Mexicans, camping Klansmen, alligators, bears, coyotes, and more. As such, he in his backpack or his ride will have to carry a very, very large amount of things. Clothing: Much like his off-duty clothing, this will heavily depend on where he is. But more or less omnipresent is a set of heavy engineer's boots with steel caps, and either a wide-brimmed hat or a baseball cap. Weapons: .357 Python, a choice of Winchester 1897 shotgun or M14 Rifle usually with enough ammunition for two to three reloads for these weapons. Tools/Equipment: His phone, a radio, first aid kit, several water bottles and granola bars, a watch, a compass, a map, head-flashlight, a heavy flashlight, stationery, a swiss army knife and a heftier knife. He'll also carry several batteries of different sizes, rubber gloves, repellents for local animals and bugs, a lighter and fire starter kit, sometimes a "really cool" stick he walks with, quite a bit of rope. All of this is generally in a fanny-pack around his belt for quicker access and in a rucksack for things less immediately needed. Will carry two spare tiers, a canister of gas and tools to fix up a car in whatever his ride is. [/hider] [/quote] Park Ranger Five refers to his pay grade of GS-5?
