Re: A war RPG
Name: Gunnery Sergeant Barry Anderson
Age: 28
Appearance: Barry is about six foot six, roughly two hundred and
fifty pounds. His eyes are deep blue, hair brown and very close shaven, typical of his military background.
County/Branch of Service: United States/United States Marine
Corps.
Background: Barry joined the Marines when he was 18, shortly following the deaths of several older friends who went into the Army. Originally he was looking for total revenge, but soon realized that he needed to excerise judgement. Having had a father who'd been in the army as a sharpshooter, Barry already had followed in these steps, and would eventually become his unit's top sniper. He's risen through the ranks fairly fast, and has always been a dependable person. Whether you need a sniper shot taken, or a tough as nails veteran in close quarters, Barry has been there for as long as many in his unit can remember. Given his significantly longer service time than the rest of his unit, he's been lovingly given the name "grandpa".
Barry doesn't fear very many things, but the one major fear he has is not being able to help a comrade in need when the chance is there, and failing them.
Weaponry:
C14 Timberwolf: This is a manually operated bolt action sniper rifle, using .338 Lapua Magnum sniper rounds. With an effective range of 1,500 Meters or longer, it's no reason why Barry is so good at sniping.
FN P90: This is a lightweight, easy to fire sub machine gun. It utilizes 5.7x28 mm rounds, and has a 50 round mag.
Glock 35: Barry has customized this piece of fine handgun to fire two types of rounds. It can fire the traditional 9mm rounds, or .40 S&W rounds, which pack a greater punch. He rarely uses this weapon unless at extremely close range, preferring to take targets out from a distance whenever possible.
His backpack contains several boxes for ammunition for each weapon, and has a special harness designed to hold, if need be, both his heavier weaponry at once. In the case of the P90 clips, he has six clips for them in his pack at any given time, sometimes more.
Given his immense strength, he's about the only person in his unit capable of carrying all this stuff, and not dropping from exhaustion.
