I've always had trouble writing compelling background stories from the perspective of the individual, so i decided to try something else. let me know what you guys think of this one... still a work in progress but its mostly done. this is a rifts character that i had help building from you guys here at GITP. written in the form of a preliminary investigation of the character, in the hopes of contracting them for being part of a forward team used to investigate rifts.
Name: Sergeant Anthony Tiger (No Middle Name)
Known Aliases: None
DOB: July 1, 2060 Age: 123
Height: 7’5” Weight: 289 lbs.
Eyes: Blue/Grey Hair: Orange/White w/ Black Stripes Covering Body
Sex: Male Race: Panthera Tigris Nationality: Unknown
Current Occupation: Employed by the military
Other Marks: Various Combat Scars, Hidden by fur
Magical Abilities: None
Psionic Abilities: None
Cybernetic Enhancements: Neural Implants (Unknown Purpose)
Educational Background: The military file I received, stated “Anthony Tiger was educated from a very early age by and for the military.” With no references or other details I am afraid I am unable to say much for his intelligence. This being said, the military programs are well taught, and individual knowledge is tested on a regular basis.
Medical Background: It required myself and two interns to retrieve Sgt. Tiger’s medical recordS. Supposedly the product of Illegal biological experimentation, he seems to be a cross between a human and a tiger. Despite being a mutated in such a drastic manner, he maintains the ability to be treated medically as a human, including many drugs as well as most, if not all, life extending technologies, assuming of course, he does not die in the line of duty. I spent many days reading of different injuries he has suffered while in combat. Page after page of gunshot wounds, and various stab wounds. The man has had more metal in him then a Steel mill. No matter how bad his injuries seamed, aside from a few cases, he always walked himself to care, refused any anesthetics, and walked out same day. I do not yet know of how he obtained most of these injuries, I will need to find his classified files if he is still on the list of possible candidates.
Military Background: Much of his military career is highly classified and will required further research, however the files I currently have state he was “found” in laboratory near what used to be Anne Arber, Michigan, with 5 others like him, early in 2067. From there they were then sent to the moon to be studied for 20 years before being released back to the military. They were then trained to be an elite group of soldiers to eliminate possible threats and uprisings against the three families. With only two mission failures over 75 years they were very effective in their efforts. Unfortunately, due to bad Intel, the second failure led to most of the team K.I.A. Sgt. Tiger and his Commander S Sgt. Nora Leopard where the only ones who made it to the extraction point and Leopard died from her injuries while in transit. Sgt. Tiger was left in critical care for two months after the mission and was on medical leave for another year while he recovered from physical and psychological trauma.
Psychological Review: Although Sgt. Tiger does not show the typical signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder he did display a change in behavior after the failed mission that ended the life of his original squad members. He has been described as reckless by other squad members he has been matched with, often putting his own life in serious jeopardy in an effort to save the life of the team or make it easier for them to advance. There is one report of Tiger running through a street, firing wildly in the air, in an attempt to draw fire away from pinned allies, being shot a total of 17 times in the process. His efforts have not been in vein though, since recovering he has not lost a single squad mate while deployed. However, more concerning then the rash behavior, is the possible thoughts of suicide. Although not an issue in any psychiatric report, he carries a .45 Caliber pistol that used to belong to S Sgt. Leopard, and a single .45 Caliber bullet inscribed with “UNTIL WE MEET AGAIN” around his neck.
