He stands 5’ 11” tall and weighs approximately 190 Lbs. he has greying black hair and brown eyes with a salt and pepper beard and mustache. [img]https://i.imgur.com/Cbu20cY.png[/img] [/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Personality[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Phil is generally laid back about most things. It takes quite a bit to get him upset. He is adventurous and has a decent sense of humor. He views challenges as personal quests and looks for opportunities to prove to himself that he can do something. With his chronological age creeping up into the 40s, this has become more exaggerated. It is a personal vendetta to stop aging by engaging in physical activity. He spends at least an hour in the gym daily and runs five or six days a week, with the minimum distance at two miles and the maximum around six to eight miles. He ran the Boston Marathon when he was 27 years old. Phil is a gregarious person able to converse with perfect strangers. He has a tendency to leave people feeling good about themselves, even though they just met. Although he is great at meeting new people, his ability to hold onto a long-term relationship is to be desired. Many people have abandoned him in his life for several reasons. Maybe it is an inability to shut up. He could talk paint off the wall.[/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Nationality[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] American (USA) with heritage in French (Canadian), British, and Seneca of the Iroquois Confederation [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Education[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] B.A. in Political Science and A.S. in Criminal Justice [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Former Occupation[/color][/u][/b] [indent][indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Retired Infantry Officer, HS History Teacher, and Reserve Police Officer [/b][/color][/indent][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Skills[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Knowledgeable of Military History from antiquity up through the 21st century, Trained in the use of small unit operations for squads (~10 men), platoons (30 – 40), companies (100 – 150) and battalions (500 – 1000 men), trained in brigade (1500 – 5000), division (12,000 – 15,000) and corps level (30,000 – 75,000 men) operations.

[/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Background[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Born in Greenfield, Massachusetts, the middle child with two sisters. A working-class family, his father worked as a Railroad conductor for the Boston & Maine Railroad. Philip has been interested in military history from a young age, playing war games inside and “guns” with friends outside. Philip did well in High School, proving an advanced mathematics book wrong in his junior year. His family could not afford to send him to college, so he enlisted in the US Army right out of High School. He attended Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training at Ft. Benning, Georgia. He completed Airborne Training and Ranger School, which were on his initial contract. This allowed him to serve with the 2nd battalion, 75th Regiment (Ranger) at Ft. Lewis, Washington. He then served a tour with a mechanized infantry battalion in Germany. After completing four years in the Army, he came home to use his Veterans Benefits to go to college, which was his initial reason for going into the military in the first place. He earned an associate’s degree in criminal justice at Greenfield Community College and a Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science from the University of Massachusetts. While a student in college, he worked as a Reserve Police Officer, first in Greenfield, MA, and later in Northampton, MA. He also joined the Massachusetts Army National Guard shortly after leaving active duty. While a member of the Guard, he attended Officer Candidate School (OCS) and became an infantry officer. He received training at Ft. Benning, GA, in small unit operations at the Infantry Officer Basic Course and higher echelon operations at the Infantry Officer Advanced Course. While in the Guard, Phil served as a Rifle Platoon Leader, Heavy Mortar Platoon Leader, Company Executive Officer, Company Commander, Battalion Personnel Officer, Supply Officer, Signal Officer, and as a Division Battle Captain in the current operations section during Operations Joint Forge in Bosnia-Herzegovina. Following the deployment to Bosnia, Phil served as Brigade Assistant Supply Officer and finally as Brigade Operations Officer. He retired with 21 years time in service at Age 39. A few years after graduating from college, Phil discovered he did not want to make a career out of being a police officer and took the Massachusetts Test for Educators Licensure (MTEL). He scored well on the Social Studies test and became a High school Social Studies Teacher in Greenfield, Mass. Eventually, he transferred into the history department. Shortly after becoming a schoolteacher, he met his wife Pamela who worked in health care at the local hospital. They bought a house in Greenfield and have four children who are now aged 15, 13, 12, and 10.[/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Goals/Plans[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Initially to survive and learn what he can about the people he is living with. [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Why you picked your location[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] The Seneca bloodline courses through my veins, and this is a great opportunity to learn about their history, culture, and way of life. Although the Seneca eventually formed the Iroquois Confederation by joining with other nations, Mohawk, Cayuga, Oneida, Onondaga and Tuscarora, maybe I can help it along. [/b][/color][/indent] [b][u][color=white]Character Motivations[/color][/u][/b] [indent][color=A1A1A1][b] Determine how he ended up in Western New York 2700 years ago and find a way to return to his wife and family in the 21st century.
