Leaving him alone, no other family took him in so he was passed off to an orphanage to be raised. There he was raised to the age of 7, when finally he was adopted. He was not adopted until then as Ismael wished to stay and take care of the kids around him, as he saw himself as that of a Brother figure, yet a pair of parents wanted him because of that very nature. After his adoption, Ismael lived a normal life, a Loving mother and Father in a middle-class family. He went to school, played sports, and did normal things. He did well enough in school, he wasn't the smartest person, be had knowledge and wisdom to learn. Yet the thing that followed him was a smile and laughter that people found. His jokes were goofy, and his demeanor was that of a kind giant. As these years were normal and simple, as when he became old enough he enlisted into the Marine Corps as a Small Arms repairman. He had a wish to serve his country, he always seemed to look at it as an honor During his time in the Military, Ismael had made many friends, he took care of people around him as a brother, and quite often he sent money back to the Orphanage that raised him, as a way of thanks to them. During his time, his work was simple, fixing guns and making sure vehicle weapons were in order. Yet things changed when wars kicked up, when he went to reenlist, most Marines were switched over to Rifleman as they were expecting a real fight. And soon, Ismael was thrust into battles, where he showed great skill as a soldier and as a squad leader. He had thrown his life into the line of fire to save fellow Marines, Civilians, and anyone in between. Just one of these days, God decided to call his number as a grenade fell out and landed next to Ismael. As within the moment of seeing it, he threw himself on it, throwing his bag and back onto it and saying his goodbyes. Ismael woke up a month later from a coma, as he found he survived the explosion. The grenade had left him badly scarred on his back. Large shrapnel scars covered his back and the sides of his body. The doctors called it a miracle that he survived, if it was a normal person, they would have been dead. Ismael was released a few months later after rehabilitation and therapy. He found his world slightly changed, he had missed a few friends passing, his honorable discharge was handed down, yet the war he was in is still raging. But something strange happened, an old war buddy called him up, asking if he wanted to join a company he was now in. Ismael joined the Hershall & Co. logistic incorporated. Here he met some old buddies from before his Reenlistment, they all joined this company under a strange woman. She was a shrewd woman and she dealt in all forms of War, yet her most lucrative business is She is a Weapons Dealer. She sells anything from low-cost Firearms, all the way to stationary artillery weapons. If war is what you want, the Hershall & Co. logistic incorporated can provide you with weapons to fight it. Ismael spent the next years in this company, getting closer to the many people within, as they all follow this near insatiable goal the leader of this Company has. Not many knew what she wanted, money? Power? No one knew, but everyone rallied with her as she had this strange charisma that was too hard to move away from. Ismael spent multiple years in this company, not knowing what much to do otherwise, he realized, it was nice here. It was simple and he had many freedoms. They traveled a lot, they did as they pleased, and Ismael was given more money than he knew what to do with. So, he sent it back to his family and the Orphanage, he did keep a bit to himself in a bank account. He wasn't just a bodyguard to this woman though. He was also a weapon she used quite often, everyone was used in the same way. They didn't only protect her, they did what she wanted them to do, so if she wanted someone dead, they would do it. She wanted to have them steal top secret information? It was done. She needed them to pull her out of Hell itself? One’s already taken the Devil’s daughter as a hostage. This fervent nature and willingness didn't come from her being their employer, this came from their loyalty to her. Everyone here was family, they would bleed, sweat, and die for each other. Ismael had shown this on multiple occasions as he had taken many bullets for those around him, he had gotten into fights for them, and he has killed for them. His life was okay, and he was more than willing to live his life this, until one night while he was about to go to bed, a portal opened up and sucked him and his bed into the portal. As he came through he realized he appeared in some strange place. He hopped to the pillows where he kept his bed gun, yet he found it was gone as he thought back and remembered that he placed it on his dresser. Now he found himself in a strange new place without anything other than his Dog tags, his fists, and his underwear.

He had always been quite athletic and had constantly improved himself either out of his own enjoyment or for his work. Being at his peak prime years Ismael is quite the force to be reckoned with. [color=gold]⋆[/color] Ismael is strong and athletic, having a very powerful body. This body however was not forged through intense weight lifting and strict diet watching. Ismael gained the strength to lift multiple men, run fast, and climb quickly through calisthenics and work. He won't be winning any competitions for weight lifting, nor fastest sprints, but that never mattered to Ismael. He needed to be fast enough, strong enough, and have enough endurance to do intense work all day. [center][color=red]What are your character’s physical strengths?[/color][/center] [color=Gold]⋆[/color] Incredible Strength- Ismael’s overall muscular size and strength makes him a hard opponent to fight as his reach, size, and strength means he can bully most people in a fight. [color=Gold]⋆[/color] Indomitable Spirit- Even when death calls, Ismael doesn’t answer. Having an incredible tolerance to pain, few things make Ismael flinch, let alone knock him on his ass. [color=Gold]⋆[/color] Body of Iron- Attacks and hits that would be considered lethal have never dropped Ismael. Bullets, knives, even grenades had not killed Ismael. As his body’s ability to survive can be considered beyond human. [color=Gold]⋆[/color] Excellent Dexterity- From much of Ismael’s work, his hands became quite good at working and manipulating fine and small objects. With quick and fast hands Ismael’s dexterity makes his knife work and sleight of hand sublime. [color=Gold]⋆[/color] Great Agility- Being his size, many expect Ismael to be less agile, yet that is quite the opposite. From training and working Ismael has became quite quick in a run, great at shifting his momentum for fast changes in velocity, and is quite good at free running/parkour. [center][color=red]What are your character’s physical weaknesses?[/color][/center] [color=gold]⋆[/color] Large Size vs. Cramped spaces- Being so big comes with the disadvantage of being unable to fit into smaller crawl spaces without greater effort. [color=gold]⋆[/color] Over Stimulation- Ismael’s senses are incredibly sharp and honed further, yet that can also be used against him when trying to distract as if done properly small things can be shifted and changed to actually distract or even hurt and dull those senses. [u][color=E594FF]Years of Experience:[/color][/u] [b][color=a187be]Weapon(s):[/color][/b] [b][color=gold]Bladed Combat:[/color][/b] Ismael has had a strong focus in melee combat with a weapon in a hand, ever since he was a young man he had played with a knife, it was not until his wish to join the military did he focus upon it, making a near decade of practice and experience. However the better half of that year was under tutelage and constant honing, practice, and true application making those years much more meaningful. The blades he has worked the most with straight edged bayonet combat knives, large curved blades like the Kukuri, and small reverse curved blades like the karambit. [b][color=gold]Firearm Combat:[/color][/b] Ismael’s experience with a firearm is quite extensive as a larger portion of his military career was operating and maintaining firearms. Then becoming a marine rifleman had him test his skills. After which in his career as a Private Military Contractor his skills were further honed with new weapons entering his hands. From a carbine to a rifle, a machine gun to a Marksman rifle, Ismael had tested his mettle and his sharp shooting with anything that entered his hands. However that does not mean he doesn’t have a favorite weapon, a simple handgun, something light, easy to conceal, and if used properly, immensely deadly. [b][color=a187be]Hand-to-Hand Combat:[/color][/b] Being born so large and physically imposing, Ismael naturally leaned towards a more physical nature. FInding himself into scraps and brawls wasn’t uncommon and he became quite good at them. Proper training in unarmed combat came later on in his life when Ismael was in the military and then as a private military contractor. His unarmed combat focus leans towards highly efficient and lethal styles and moves such as Kali, Krav Maga, Lerdrit, Sambo, and the Marine Corps Martial Arts Program. All of these being focused on powerful strikes, takedowns, and incredible aggression. These styles are all enhanced by the introduction of weapons as they are often made to be fast to then disable and mai to retrieve an improvised weapon, yet that does not mean these styles aren’t incredibly lethal.

Gun Repair- Ismael was trained as a Firearm repairman, this was however during a time where he didn't need to forge and make his own equipment and materials, so this wouldn't be too useful in this day and age.
