I'd like to join. Here is my character sheet.
NAME: Damian "Diema" Barrett
SEX: M
AGE: 44 (16 Mar)
HEIGHT: 6' 3"
WEIGHT: ~240 lbs.
SPECIES: Mexican gray wolf
WEAPON OF CHOICE: USP .45 full-size with raised iron sights.APPEARANCE: Although most people that know of Diema's exploits in the Marines see him as a living legend, he has begun to show his age. A strong, broad snout chiseled as if out of stone sits between a single, unreadable eye and an eyepatch, ready to bark and gnash out at a moment's notice; though time has weathered his concrete features, and a constellation of scars hides just fur-deep on his skin. Broad, powerful muscles stretch tight over bones squared at the shoulder and with high, proud posture, giving the impression that he towers over other men -- and to a degree, that is not an incorrect assessment.
Looking deeper into his singular eye reveals only more intrigue and curiosity. Hollow reflections of a past teeming with bloodshed and battle have turned him into something else - perhaps not a demon, but something else, for certain. It's difficult to tell what he's thinking at any one time for this reason; his actions and the way he responds to combat stress, even the expressions on his face, might seem sociopathic in any other setting.
PERSONALITY: Although not entirely disconnected from displaying emotion, the way in which Damian chooses to express himself is often crass and without appeal to common sense; he is not incredibly personable with those in his unit, and rarely speaks of hobbies or things that interest him. The reality is something entirely different from what he displays to the world.
Ever-stalwart and watchful, Diema has no time whatsoever for jokes and political ploys and will not hesitate to pull the trigger, regardless of who is on the other end of the barrel -- not because he is cold, but because he
must. If that means killing his best friend, so be it -- it is either that, or fail the mission, and the latter is not an option. On one hand, his harsh, logical "this is the way it has to be" mindset has gotten him written up for disobeying orders; on the other hand, he has survived long enough for other Marines to recognize him as a war hero.
COMBAT ANALYSIS: Alone, Diema is much more a threat than he is in a group. Tactful and weary of his surroundings almost supernaturally, Damian's awareness of the battlefield is nearly unmatched and he has proven that he is capable of finesse as well as he is of placing a shot between someone's eyes at out to a kilometer with the right weapon. Though he is 'skilled' with firearms, certainly, there are others who are his betters - especially with long rifles - and Damian prefers not to get in engagements in the first place, if he can help it.
The best place to find Damian on the battlefield is to simply look in the enemy's shadow. When the time is right, Damian will be there, and he will have a plan.
RANK: Unknown. Refuses to wear rank insignia or identifying uniform tapes. Inter-unit conjecture indicates he may hold a high enlisted rank in the Navy.
