Striker : Military / Sled Pilot : Male Restriker
[Please note: This Image is from a Previous RP and will be updated (ie the rank) when I have some time]

CHARACTER PROFILE
Name: ‘Striker’
[His real name is Davyid (pronounced David) Richardson; but no one calls him this – and he prefers it that way]

Age: 30 : Late Summer
(spent six years awake on the trip from Pern, in two three year intervals)

Gender: Male

Distinguishing features: None really ... unless you count scars; in which case he has a large collection of them – mostly on his back and upper arms.

Hair Color: Russet – tan brown

Eye Color: Molten Fire

Description: Striker stands about 6'2" and weighs 210 lb (muscle, no fat here ^^). He is Caucasian with a light tan and supports brown and mop like hair along with molten fire eyes.

His boots scuffed the worn stone in time with his lengthy yet drawling stride. Pausing to stand at an intersection for a rider on a horse he stuffed his hands into the pockets of his well worn pants. They were offset with a light weight T-shirt. As he started through the Weyr the short leather jacket he wore jostled against his arms. It was literally battle worn in its dark brown glory and reached its end below his hips, just long enough to cover his pant pockets. Anyone looking closely might have noted the Compact Crossbow tucked into a leather holster hanging just to the right side of the small of his back. It was all held in place with and old yet reliable brown belt. His sharp, trained eyes, which where the colour of molten of fire danced around, taking in his surroundings. What he was looking for he didn’t know, he never knew until it happened. A group of children (the first pernese) shot out in front of him and he stopped dead letting them run past, a joking grin crossed his face; briefly soothing the military hardened lines that comprised it.

Personality: Striker is relatively laid back, and perfectly prepared to sit around and make jokes over many different things. He is the pernese equal of being street smart (Weyr and Hold smart I guess) as well as trained in hunting and tracing skills which he can apply to any situation. Quick to act Striker always gets the job done when it needs to be. He is known to hold grudges though and occasionally these might cloud his judgment, yet if he is reminded of his objective he’ll sick to them and hiding his feelings long enough to work efficiently. Having grown up on the proverbial edge of Earth society when he was young Striker as retained the ability it pick up on information easily and remember it in case it’s needed. His sharp eyes rarely miss anything and he tends to be a good judge of character and as such will trust though that he deems trust worthy. Striker is said to be a man of noble intentions, he will work towards what is right even if that means tuning his back on the workings of the Settlers. He will fight to be the last man standing if it means he has the chance to save and protect his friends.

Strengths:
  • Trained Sniper: True to his nick name Striker has been trained as a brilliant shot (Now also with a bow, this is Pern after all), being able to make ever one of them count, he only ever misses when he intends too; claiming that nine out of ten times a missed shot is planed that way rather than by accident. For this he carries a self made long bow and a purchased compact cross bow. Both are light enough to be moved quickly. Along with his he also carries a hunting knife for finishing his kills or cleaning them when need be. It is about the same length as a belt knife only with a wider blade and dangerously serrated edge.
  • Hand to Hand: Striker has been trained in hand to hand combat, so when he’s caught in a close situation he is able to act even without the presence of weapons.
  • Natural Leader: He is a naturally born leader, even though he often refuses it act that way, this is only because he has spent more time on out and about on Earth then being confided anywhere – even when he was in the service he was mostly in the field. Because of this he may be seen as more than a little abrasive to those who have spent a lot of time in the safe shadow of society and now Sled pilots.

Weaknesses:

    Primarily his naturally cocky nature, he tends to be rarely affected when people try and insulted him. More often than not he may turn it back on them; which lends into his reputation of things a little too far at the best of times with snide comments and snappy remarks. It is worthy to note that Striker’s mental stability may be questionable, six turns ago (before the start of the ‘dragon’ project) he fell victim to a very slight bout of insanity; things are fixed up now, but those closest to him keep an eye out, just in case.



History: Striker grew up in the fairly industrialized City of what would have once been New York. As a member of a middle class family he was easily exposed to the dark under belly of the city; and like any brat he took it on. He became a well known figure in the hold a kid how could get anywhere, including into several locked and High security locations. They jokingly called him Striker because of how good he was and latter he became known as “The Rabbit”. This change in name happened shortly after his family moved into the larger neighbouring city; however, the events that lead to Striker becoming known as “The Rabbit” didn’t end well for all concerned. The group of brats (known as the Rabbit Warren) he had been working with had been found out and he had managed to tell them and get them out before the visiting Lord turned up, yet he himself was caught. Discussed by the fact their son was apparently the leader of the trouble makers his parents through it was time to let him see how the real world worked. Striker was signed up for the Military, where it was hoped that some resistant would be drilled into him.

This was not entirely the case... he conformed to the training, but was soon taken out of a lot of the basic training as his aptitude for the sniper rifle was picked up. Striker’s weapons of choice became the double eagle colt and the Barret 98 sniper rifle. During this time he was also trained in hand to hand combat – but part of him was still interested in the darker part of his earlier life. As well as becoming a well trained man Striker also polished up skills as a Hacker; because of his speed in both fields several of his fellows started calling him ‘Striker’, taking the name on board he left his real name behind with his past.

A later trip to Japan put him back in contact with his past, and The Rabbit Warren; but the events that happened there aren’t common knowledge. What is known is that there was a major crackdown on crime in Japan... and Striker (24 at the time) was enlisted into the dragon project and sent to Pern – becoming about as far as humanly possible from his past. His already existing skills as a trained military man were to come in handy when the settlers reached Pern.

He soon forged out a new path for himself; one that was different to being a Cornel in the American military on Earth. As a Sled Piolet he was able to keep people safe; but he still kept his distance from most of them other than his Squadron and pervious fellows; not that he was trying to avoid making friends – it was just habit.
