Hi there, first post on these forums. Must say, finally found a decent looking RP... Well, to the point

Name: Vincent Farwell
Age: 26
Faction: ODST
Race: Human
Rank: Sergeant
Appearance: A relatively standard person, with shortly trimmed black hair, grey blue eyes and most often a sad-ish look about him.
Starting weapons: Compacted Magnum(smaller caliber=less damage) with integrated silencer, Sniper rifle with long range directed microphone, and a combat knife with a pair of dogtags hanging from the handle(nobody except Vincent knows who they belong to).
(Hope it's possible, it's what I'd imagine him to have... Realistically.)
Personality: Vincent keeps to himself most of the time, only really interacting with others when taking or giving orders. Very quickly distracted, but when required has superb focus and insight in almost any sitations. He prefers to stay at a distance, physically and mentally, from everyone around him. He likes observing people and their actions, as it calms him and gives him things to think about. Whenever he is spoken to unexpectedly, he instantly puts on a 'happy act', but cuts off the conversation as quick, but also as politely as possible. His actions actually come from not being used to direct human contact, and he is generally shy around people.
Background: A young man, Vincent's been alone most of his life. He has taken care of himself since his parents died from a strange disease. As he had nowhere to go, he volunteered for service as soon as he was old enough. He has always distanced himself from other individuals, as he disliked how they reacted to his general behaviour and thoughts on everything. He has always had a general habit of hiding everything behind a mask, pretending not to have a single care in the world. His solitude meant that he spent most of his time training. This has made him very agile, as he believes brute strength only solves some things, and is best used by those that can't use other tools. He has also trained himself to have a very steady hand, making him a deadeye sniper, though he feels extremely uncomfortable in medium range combat. His excellent aim and reaction time have earned him commendations by a wide variety of individuals, varying from entire platoons of marines, to a stranded squad of ODST's who were under attack by hunters. Encouraged by all this, he soon decided to join the ODST's, in an effort to be one of the first on the ground, and doing his best in supporting all his comerades. After he joined the ODST's, his first mission went terribly wrong, and the drop group lost half their numbers, including their sergeant. After a few run-ins with the enemy, Vincent was voted the new sergeant unanimously by the rest of the squad because of his tactical insight. He has only been on 2 missions since then, but his steady hand, calm mind and tacical insight make for a promising future.
Whew, this immediately cleared my writers block... I KNEW Halo and RP'ing is good for a person ^^
