[hider= Victor Creed - Sabretooth]| Character Identity | Colonel Victor Creed US Army 'Sabretooth' | Age | 220 | Character Differences | Col. Creed is a good guy. Different life choices, different experiences growing up. Made a wish on a shooting star. Chalk it up to what you will, Creed is one of the good guys. He served the Union in the Civil War, worked as an Indian scout after that for the US Cavalry. Served in the First Special Services Force in WWII the 'Devil's Brigade' and he was one of the Devil's own. Creed took part in the Italian Campaign and was there at the Fall of Berlin. He worked with Captain America and was there for the tickertape parade Cap missed. Since then he has been on the side of the Angels, always doing what was right and keeping a tight leash on his temper. | Brief World Background | Mutants are still second class citizens but still citizens. They might not have gotten to ride in the back of the bus even but they were still citizens and Americans other nations were not so enlightened as the America and Canada but in America they were accepted. After WWI, they won the right to vote in all 48 states and after WWII they were simply another group of Americans. There was a European Brotherhood of Mutants but they simply never formed in the US as there was little discrimination after Roosevelt's redlining ended Mutants could live, work, and go where they pleased. In addition, any superpowered mutant, (as opposed to those poor sods with deformities but no power) could practically write their own ticket. Private, public, the military, Hollywood, live entertainment, Mutants found themselves in demand in a good way. The main 'Freak Towns' now called 'Mutant Districts' are found in most cities and even a few out of the way places. New York, LA, and Seattle all have large Mutant communities. Florida is home to many aging mutants. | Brief Character Background | Victor Creed is a Countryborn Metis born sometime in the late Seventeen hundreds in either Canada or the Northern US (borders were rather uncertain at that time). He grew up a strong healthy young man with his best friend and half-brother James Howlett. He roamed the plains hunting buffalo, and living the life of an active man. In the 1860's he and his half brother volunteered as cavalrymen in the US Civil War. It was the largest and worst conflict they found themselves until that time. They had both discovered they were Mutants long before that and while they new they were not indestructible, they new they could make a difference. Victor remained in the military in different branches under different names usually to avoid questions about his age and whether or not a man nearly a century old should serve (no matter how youthful he looked). In WWII he was a lieutenant in the First Special Services Force a joint Canadian/American unit given the nickname, 'the Devil's Brigade' by their German foes, that was trained not only as paratroops and unconventional warfare but for guerilla action and special tasks. The unit was mixed Native American and white from both sides of the border as well as mutants it was one of the first units to actively recruit mutants for their abilities. The unit served in every major conflict and as unconventional warfare ever since. Victor Creed was promoted to Colonel and commander of the 1st Battalion called the 'Devil's Own'. Creed was informally known as the 'Old Man' or 'the Devil' by the troops. Anyone but a member of the Brigade or a vet risked bodily harm by the fiercely loyal 'Devil's Own' for using their nickname for Creed. Many mutants served in the Unit with honor and it was one of the most decorated units for its size in the US military. At the time of his abduction, Victor had undergone several modifications to better serve his nation. He had his bones and claws bonded with Adamantium, his strength has been enhanced and he can lift several tons. His lifelong history of combat and his hobby of martial arts has served him well in Mojo's 'Survivor' game. Creed was in his quarters in Somalia sleeping when he simply vanished. Since then he has fought in Mojo's arena and against Mojo outside the arena doing his best to keep the spirits of his fellow captives up and to keep an eye out for a chance to escape. [/hider]
