Gaia Username: Venom3001
Character Name: Devin Garabetian Turd Ferguson
Gender: Male
Age: 22
Height: 5'6"
Weight: 180 lbs.
Race: Half Syrian,
half mix of European

Nationality: Syrian-born, but grew up in the United States
Physical Description: A little short and a lot bulky, Devin Turd is a mildly-grizzled veteran with the scars to show it from his somewhat premature duty in Iraq and Afghanistan. Somewhat jarringly, his facial features are mostly soft, with a sort of friendly, inviting quality to them, save for the burn scars on his lower jaw, where a freak accident in training caused what was supposed to be a training bomb to detonate; most of Devin's Turd's body was shielded by his instructor, who (predictably) died.
Devin Turd is in good physical condition, and is the only member of his family who does not need glasses. Also, Devin Turd has a large amount of hair on his body, but because his light skin and his light hair are a similar shade, it's often not especially notable.
Personality: Good-natured about most things, Devin Turd is a little sarcastic, though friendly about it, with a few notable exceptions. Due to the stigma he grew up with, the training incident, and his occupation, Devin Turd hates any less-than-serious treatment of racism, terrorism, explosives and their handling, and death.
Biography: Devin Turd was born in Syria; his family emmigrated somewhat-illegally to the United States to escape fear of another outbreak of war.
This occurred when Devin Turd was months old, and his name was changed to an American one so he would fit in better. He suffered a substantial amount of teasing about being from "That one place that's always at war" by his more politically-minded classmates. Hating school and often skipping classes led to his parents disowning him with no prospects for college. With little other choice, he joined the army, training for a counter-terrorist unit; he failed to make the cut in the end, largely due to the trauma from the bomb incident, and was sent to Iraq as a grunt; barely months in, he was sent back with shrapnel filling most of his leg. He had not been expected to walk again, but with time he returned to being able to walk. No longer trusting a Federal government that had failed him so badly, he joined a police department in the state he grew up in, Illinois, becoming a SWAT marksman. Recently, he was asked to go to New York...
Specialty: Devin Turd is a skilled Marksman, mainly; he also has a rather severe aversion to explosives and their use or disarmament, understandably.

Character Name: Jaclyn Mendoza
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Height: 5"7
Weight: 135
Race: Chicano
Nationality: American
Physical Description: Jaclyn is built along the lines of a ballerina; that is, she has long, graceful limbs and, much to her chagrin, the chest and hips of a 14 year old. Her wavy, shoulder-length hair is a brown that is dark enough to pass for black in most situations, and is usually pulled back into a practical bun or ponytail. Her skin is light, cinnamon-y shade of brown. With makeup, or with her hair styled differently, her heart-shaped face would be considered quite pretty, perhaps even beautiful; it's sort of hard to tell. As things are, it appears serious and intense, with a perpetually challenging expression in the dark eyes.

Personality: She doesn't take crap, and she likes not taking crap. If no one is actually giving her crap, she'll find an excuse to get pissed at them anyway. She'll pick fights if someone looks at her 'too long'. She's just one of those people that can't seem to be happy if she isn't angry. In combat, she's the one every else has to rein in.

That's how she likes to seem, anyway. If you can get underneath all that hostility, (dynamite, anyone?) she's fiercely loyal to her companions, even those she doesn't like. With the few people she actually does like, her sense of humor comes out, though it is, appropriately enough, very dry.

Biography: Jaclyn grew up in Hatch, New Mexico, and from the beginning no one expected much out of her. To be fair, no one expected much out of anyone born in Hatch. The little girl figured out very early on that if she wanted to grow up to be anything worth bragging about, she would have to work for it herself. She settled on becoming a world-famous ballerina, and for eight years she attended class two hours a night, every night but Sunday.

Suddenly, she quit and refused to go back. She wouldn't tell anyone why (not that anyone tried terribly hard to figure it out), and switched her focus from ballet to karate without any explanation. Suddenly she wasn't interested in school or friends, then she cut school and hung out with known gang members, and then... she just didn't seem to have any friends at all.

She joined the military straight out of high school and shipped out, but after three years in Gaza she was brought back to New York with basically no explanation. She isn't relieved or upset by this, just vaguely happy to be someplace that isn't so damn HOT.

Specialty: Skilled markswoman, excellent at hand to hand.
Personal Weapons: Fällkniven GARM Dagger, Desert Eagle Magnum.
Weapons: Fällkniven GARM Dagger, Desert Eagle Magnum, pocket knife, Glock 17.
???: ((!!!))
Other: Is seriously addicted to caffeine.

Nationality: Was born in Spain, grew up in America, has been to Scandinavia, Ireland, and Spain.
Physical Description: Saieve has lightly tanned skin and dark brown eyes that are lightened up and highlighted by sunlight. His hair is short (about three-quarters of an inch on the sides and back and an inch and a half on top), thick, and dark brown with natural auburn highlighting. He is very thin and a little bony, but his size belies his impressive (for his size) strength. He is currently clean-shaven. His ears have dimples on the lobes, causing most people to mistake him for having gauges.
He has a gold hoop earring in his left ear and he always wears a silver cross with red colored jewels making up most of the inside of the main body of the cross.
On his left ring finger he wears a silver band inscribed with red markings.
He is wearing his standard Combat Medic uniform with a wide, white band with a large, red cross tied around his right arm and he is carrying his black medical bag on his right back side.
The bag has a large, white circle with a red cross in the center.

He has the initials “KRMS” Tattooed across his back and a small cross tattooed in between his thumb and index finger on his right hand.
Personality: Saieve is socially active and enjoys company very much, but doesn’t say much when he’s focusing on something or mending wounds. He tends to have a short temper at times, especially when stressed. He likes to drink and can hold his liquor very well. He tends to be a little too trusting of people due to his social personality. Saieve hates to see people get hurt or die when he’s around and will do anything he can to help no matter what.
There have even been cases where Saieve has resuscitated an enemy after a long battle.
Saieve loves to fiddle with devices and gizmos both big and small.
Biography: Saieve led a loosely structured childhood, mostly having to take care of himself. He was born in Spain and moved to the US at the age of 3. Ever since he had the capacity, he always strived to do the best for others, to help whoever he could whenever he could. He attended school in America and graduated from high school with honors and went on to Harvard Medical for a year or two, focusing mainly on math, sciences, and medicine. Though he did quite well in his classes, especially medicine, he never finished college, due to a lack of funds to pay full tuition and newfound controversy about whether or not Saieve was a legal citizen. The dispute was soon settled, but Saieve could not return to college and had to give up his dreams of becoming a doctor.
Feeling that he had nowhere left to turn, Saieve joined the military as a Field Medic at the age of 20. He became extremely skilled at performing medicine on the field and seemed to be a natural. He received some extra training in combat engineering, but nothing extensive.

Saieve doesn’t speak much of his family, his mother being unknown and his father being just slightly better. His father worked everyday, morning to late at night, leaving Saieve, the oldest of six, to take care of himself and his family alone. He focused on the needs of his siblings more than his own well-being, the source of his constant need to help others.
Eventually, he entrusted the second-oldest with the care of his siblings, as his family had urged him to go live his life when he was 18.
He hasn’t seen them in person since he was 24, but he keeps in touch when he can.
He married his childhood friend at when he was 21. The current status of his wife is unknown.

Biography: Born a military brat, specifically the US Air Force, Leon never got to stay anywhere long enough to be able to call it home. In fact, whenever he was asked where he’s from, his answer grew to be a simple ‘USAF’, since that was in a way, where he was from, because when the Air Force told his father to move somewhere, he and his family would move. He had attended 3 different high schools in 3 different places, one in Alabama, one in Utah, and a third overseas in England. When he graduated, he went to the Marines, since he hadn’t done that great in high school, mostly because he wasn’t challenged enough. While his ASVABs made all the branches want him, he wanted something that would challenge him, and help him become a better person. Upon graduating, he spent a couple of years transferring from post to post, when the Iraq War broke out, and he was quickly shipped to Kuwait, and was part of the Blitz that punched from Kuwait to Baghdad. Once the ‘war’ had ended, he spent several tours in Iraq, attempting to help the country rebuild, when he, along with the rest of the US forces in the country, were pulled out. Now, Dion is trying to find someplace to be assigned to beyond a desk job. When asked to transfer to New York, Dion took it up in a heartbeat, ready to get away from the desk that had become his job.

Character Name: SSGT. Timothy Dalton, USMC
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Height: 5’7”
Weight: 150 lbs
Race: Of German descent
Nationality: United States Citizen
Physical Description: SSGT Dalton has sported the same low regulation hair cut since his first deployment to northwestern Iraq during Operation Steel Curtain in 2006. His upper torso and arms are covered in tattoos, concealing multiple scars from shrapnel and stay wounds accumulated during his multiple deployments. His body is trim and cut, and he stands tall and confidently, always walking with his chest out as if he owes the world nothing.
Personality: Despite Dalton’s rough appearance, he’s a child at heart. Ever since Parris Island Dalton has always found a way to crack jokes at everyone’s expense, and rarely is he seen without a sly smile cracked across his face. Though Dalton has always been known as a jokester and a fun to be around person, he has no one he is close to. When his ship date for boot camp came back in 2005, along with it came the burning of bridges he didn’t deem desirable anymore, most notably that of his parents. He has never settled down with a girl, and nor does he aim to. Dalton was well liked throughout his platoon in 3rd Battalion 6th Marines Lima Company, but was thrilled for a change up from administrative duties when his orders came in for him to report in for New York. In short, there is nothing Dalton won’t do to ensure the success of the mission, even if it means dying in the process. To Dalton, he views people who are not in the military cowards, such as his father, and aims to become as far opposite from him as possible, even if it means giving his life for his squad mates. To him, this is the ultimate honor.
Biography: Dalton has served in multiple deployments and operations while serving with 3/6 L Co in the United States Marine Corps. His original MOS was 0351, Assaultman, so he is proficient with the MK-153 MOD-0 SMAW, Various demolitions, and of course an expert marksman with a rifle. He got bored after he was promoted to SSGT, and placed in charge Weapons Platoon, b/c of all the administrative work that goes along with the job. When the day came and he received new orders to head to New York, he was thrilled. Though the orders we vague, Dalton knows that upon arrival he will be fully briefed and gotten up to speed on what he is needed for. SSGT Dalton works well will fellow Marines, but due to various mishaps with other militaries, he dislikes working with any branch outside of the Marine Corps, and views them as incompetent, especially police and SWAT units.
Personal Weapons: Dalton’s primary weapons are his M4A4 standard armory issue assault rifle. Complete with a rail system and an ACOG scope, and a forward pistol grip and tactical sling, he drew this weapon out before heading out to New York. He HATES using pistols or any other manner of weaponry that does not harbor a butt stock on it. And will only resort to using such weapons in the most dire of circumstances.
Weapons: M4A4 with ACOG scope, rail system, and collapsable butt-stock.
???: ((!!!))
Other: Dalton smokes so much Platoon Comanders and Co's have told him he needs to try and quit, as it's borederlined a health problem and has affected his PT as of lately.
