Male

Birth
November 4th, 1924 - Suzdal, USSR

Appearance
Roughly 6'1" in height, Aleyev stands at a fair height for a man of his age. He has a brown shade of hair which still has hints of the brighter blonde he held as a youngster. The style is never really as neat and more ruffled than as expected, as the harsh reality of war has shown him formality gets killed within minutes of being on the frontlines. Aleyev's eyes shimmer a glistening emerald shade, which contrasts against the dirt-ridden world him and his comrades are to be plunged into. A heavy stubble surrounds his mouth and lower face. His body structure, as a whole, is moderately well-built, though there's nothing too much to brag about. The uniform worn in Squad 914 is the usual attire of the Russian Infantryman, but loosened in areas, battle worn and altered with a few harnesses usually used for carrying rifles. Upon his face lies a scar across his cheek, and a burn mark stains a small area of his right shoulder.

Personality
Though one of the two more 'Experienced' members of Squad 914, as considered by the USSR Military Staff, Aleyev managed to maintain his humanity and humour throughout his dismal career. One moral virtue he has followed throughout the few years of combat he's served is that he must know who his comrades are in order to survive. This can lead to dire consequences when their death comes around, it helps boost his confidence that may sometimes be lost and scattered in his early days on the frontline. Mass slaughter during Kursk and engagements at Leningrad have left him far too considerate for those he grows attached to; he can be compassionate to those who serve around him, but also tough in ensuring less mistakes are made. Whilst not the ideal leader, he does show potential for taking charge or supporting Non-Commissioned Officers in the act of war.

Experimental Gear
Whilst appearing like a general handgun, the SHG-48 acts as a multi-use compressed support-handgun for infantry personnel with capabilities of both supporting friendly units, providing new routes or harming hostile infantry with quick succession. One of Stalin's research officers, Atyre Ushaeke, was given this by a defective Spanish engineer, who had been given these plans by his superior in order to enhance the arsenal of the Spanish Infantry. This engineer was a supporter of the democratic Spanish ideals during the Civil War, and was unable to reach British intelligence in time for a secure development programme. The equipment given to Atyre showed a rifle capable of firing multiple unique ammunition rounds at incoming infantry. However, when the engineer tried to escape the Russian lands, fearing German invasion, he was accidentally shot by Guardsmen of the research facility he had been assigned to.

Atyre showed the documentations to Stalin, hearing that he'd be approving multiple types of experimental weaponry for the Red Army. What Stalin found frustrating was the fact that there was no guidance of how to build it, and the impractical size of the rifle. This resulted in Atyre being forced to make improvements to the design, knowing that the Spanish may have copies of the document. His knowledge of out-mastering the designs of the opposition came at the cost of high expectations. Atyre, however, developed the SHG-48 eventually.

Whilst the concepts of the original Spanish design were similar, the SHG-48 was created. A large handgun, roughly the size of a sawn-off Double-barreled shotgun, it was scaled down from the original design to act as a projectile launcher in the form of experiment ammunition, which were developed and tested before being cleared for field-testing. The SHG-48 loaded single cartridges and canisters of ammunition into the side, where a hammer controlled the slider where the ammunition was entered from. First of all, the developed lethal canister given as ammunition was the 'Impact Gas-Canister'. Using similar detergents from the Great War, lethal toxic gas was compressed down into an impact-based round that exploded and released the gas with quick responses. The purpose of this ammunition was to either clear out areas or kill enemy forces before they had time to react to a releasing gas, making it greater than a regular canister grenade.

After this, the weapon was given an ammunition designed to burn. As Atyre was clearly inspired by many different grenade weaponry that the Red Army had the ability to use, incendiary rounds were also created for Close-Quarter clearing. Upon the pressing of the trigger, a short-burst of the compressed and heated gas would burn out from the front of the barrel for roughly half a second. Whilst not having the long-term advantage of constantly reigning fire upon the foe, or the extended range, it would alight the clothing and equipment of any individual caught within a six metre distance.

Another round unique for the weapon is the 'Charge' round. Whilst grenade-launchers were common as rifle attachments, Stalin had hoped to create a small, handheld firearm that had the potential to bring the same mechanics. However, the difference with Atyre's 'Charge' rounds was that it wasn't fully designed to fire grenades to kill. Using an arced tip, like a drill, the rounds were designed to dig into a surface and explode. Using an analogue timer, the user would turn the dial to create a time-delay for the explosion which could be between three to sixty seconds. Whilst some may presume that they were for injuring or killing, Atyre was to train the experimental user to use it for creating new pathways, the drill functioning best in some metal and concrete surfaces. This would be used to break through housing walls, not thick base concrete, and allow the team to move, if enough rounds are used, through small gaps in buildings. Another use can be looked towards using it to lightly damage small armour, such as tank treds or side-car motorbikes.

The final unique round is the 'Shrapnel' round. The Shrapnel round was designed to be used for situations such as infiltration, hoping the weapon could be targeted towards resistance members to sell as profit. Using the compression system, the noise the SHG-48 made was not as loud as expected. This meant that the user could fire a small projectile for a given distance. However, the design of the round failed in shooting individual rounds, eventually leading to a 'Shrapnel' effect. Like a fragmentation grenade, but less destructive, the weapon was used to clear out small rooms or machine-gun nests by direct fire, rather than needing to get close enough to lob a grenade inside. However, there is a restriction on medium-to-large range, as the user has no direct optic or accuracy to use.

Other types of small rounds used for the weapon that give it support needs are small flares and regular smoke rounds. These allow it to be used by both users for attacking enemies and doing general support events behind the act of war.

The weapon itself was powered by a compression system. Canisters were inserted into the grip of the handgun, where each canister could provide between 4-9 shots before needing a reload. The size of the compression canisters allow for decent ammunition amounts to be on a person. In Squads and teams, canister ammunition were ideally stored in the field-bags of soldiers or in crates of walking tanks and regular tanks. However, if shot, these have the power to create a small burst of air. This is enough only to fling the user or a very-close individual to aside, though Atyre predicts it shouldn't be enough to kill or majorly harm anyone.

Background
Aleyev was born to a Russian widow in 1924 in the settlement of Suzdal. Not being too far North of Moscow, he was able to visit the Capital regularly and gain the interests of the culture he lived around. As a boy, he dreamed of moving towards the western directions, heading into inner-Europe to try out other cultures as and aspiring photographer or journalist. His mother married another man, who became a loving step-father to Aleyev. Unfortunately, before he had the time to finish his studies, get a job, earn enough money and move west, Fascism happened.

The world around Aleyev fell apart as the Second World War was initiated. Whilst Russia did not fight Germany at first, or show any real involvement except from a few unheard battles against the Japanese, the fact Europe was cut off from the rest of the World devastated him. However, it wasn't until the initial invasion of the Soviet Union that left his world shattered into pieces. Without warning, soldiers flooded the town, military police personnel began evacuating children into a more centralized area of the USSR, hoping to give them early training for the upcoming battles ahead. Though by 1939 Aleyev was 15, he was still taken away alongside the rest of the youngsters.

He wrote to his mother a lot, hearing about the accommodations that his Step-father was achieving as a successful soldier, even through the winter victories throughout the first few years of the war. Aleyev was proud of his family, and his mother for taking up a job in a militarized factory. Stalin needed everyone's help to defeat the Fuhrer, and every family was needed. At least his was doing their part. It wasn't until late 1942 when his smiles would decimate. The news was everywhere...Axis Powers initiated Operation: Sealion.

Though the children and people of Russia were not directly linked to Great Britain in any way, they understood what it meant. With France gone, and now the British soil under the control of the Axis, the full swing of the opposition would set its eyes upon the USSR sooner or later. And as predicted, the Russians were the only target by 1943. Families began to flood back from the eastern side of the Soviet Union, as the predictions of war had taken its toll. The Germans were heard of making gains, retaking all of Poland, despite the pact they had with the USSR. A slow, but progressive movement made its way towards Moscow, but it was being held back by an almost uncomfortable size of troops from the Red Army. And it was by 1945 that the stalemate began. What would become three years of stillness, but fully blended with chaos, would be the days that Aleyev would live for. When he turned 18, he finally denied the thoughts of refusing conscription, signing up after hearing of the havoc on the war-grounds.

The Step-Father of Aleyev was met only once after signing up, only happening to be in the same camp as he was during Aleyev's training. The two met, spent the day together, discovering about the time they had apart and what had been done. An officer of the field, his Step-father was a proud addition to the Yanovich family. But the time to meet was short, as the next morning the commanding officers had him shipped out, on a flanking mission to insert via Greece in an 1946 operation. He never made it ashore as the news headlines broke out. No one made it back, not even the naval fleet sent out to support them. It was a disaster, something Stalin punished his officers heavily for.

By early-to-mid-1946, Aleyev received his first taste of combat. On the defensive line around Kursk, where the Germans had numerously tried to take again and again, Aleyev saw his first days of defensive firing. He defended, day in and day out, for a year, with the occasional charges that gained only a few hundred yards of ground than what they had before. It was here he learnt the true meaning of comradeship, to value your brother or sister in arms in order to survive out in the field. It was until 1947 where he remained in the fields of Kursk, waiting and fighting with people he learnt to trust.

And as of then, he was transferred, where the attempts to take back the lost city of Leningrad were made. Here, what should have been a devious win for the Soviet Union turned out to be a year of hell. The 2nd Shock Army, where Aleyev was placed within, were encircled and cornered for the months to come. Many lives were lost, as the desolate city turned into a place of small skirmishes, urbanised warfare and ambushes following that of a metropolitan guerrilla. Nowhere was safe. Aleyev rarely opted to speak about his experiences in Leningrad, as should anyone who managed to make it out alive. Due to how disorganised the Soviet troops were during the attempts to recapture the city, it's uncertain how many people died, what battles occurred during that year and how many German, Italian and Spanish troops were killed during that time.

Once the 4th Shock Army made a temporary breach in the circumference around the city, which had trapped over 500,000 Soviet Troops for the entire year, there was a seven hour period in which all units who were still trapped had to make it to the breach before it were to be abandoned. The casualties of the 4th Shock Army were the result of this temporary breach, but hundreds of soldiers who managed to find out about the breach rushed as fast as their hearts and will to live could take them. 549 troops managed to reach the exit in time, before the 4th Shock Army were forced to withdraw. It is estimated that a further 6,000 Soviet Troops were still in the City after its abandonment. Many Soviet Generals and the survivors regret leaving, saying they should've stayed even with the opportunity to withdraw - commending their deaths.

From then, Aleyev reached 24 years old, two days after he returned to the safety of the Red Army's territory. It was November by the time he had returned. He spent the next month going through a recovery programme set up for the 500+ soldiers who had made it out of the city. Whilst the luxuries they were given weren't far greater than what they were normally used to, the fact they weren't to fight made it a heroes return. Many of those didn't feel like heroes, though. By the start of 1948, January, a man approached him whilst sitting on a 'Platoon' balcony, where about 60 men were living at the time of the programme. He stated that by the order of Stalin, Aleyev was needed for something a lot more crucial. The words "The Soviet Union were now the torch against the Fascist foe" were enough to get him interested. And it was here that Aleyev was called to meet Atyre Ushaeke, the infamous scientists and inventor who Stalin took a large interest in...
