|Extended Information|

Appearance

Standing roughly at 6'2, Domonic is a rather bulky character. Domonic is known for his muscular appearance, his rather gruff chin often plays the 6'2 Marine off as a total badass, which he prefers to be known as. Domonic tends to be recognized within Rome Five as the daring "Get It All Done" soldier with several others.

History

Prior to his employment within the Marine Corps, Domonic was a well known Private Contractor who made his claim to fame during the occupation of Afghanistan. Though his past reaches much farther than Afghanistan, Dom rarely choose to speak of it. Small snippets recall of a tumultuous childhood in some small town in Texas. Prior to Domonic joining the Marine Corps, the Mercenary was arrested for unlawful conduct and given two simple choices. Jail, or the Corps. In an attempt of self preservation, Dom chose the route of the Corps. He still thinks he can get into good faiths with his former contractor, which explains why Domonic is commonly going out of his way, and putting himself into danger, to achieve the objective.

Appearance

Image

Matthew is a fairly tall, relatively slender young man that appears to be ever so slightly older than he really is. The sole reason for this is the heavy crow’s feet on his eyes and wrinkles on his forehead that are generally more characteristic of much older individuals. Furthermore, his built tends to lean more towards athletic than muscular, although he maintains the peak physical condition a soldier of the USMC is expected to have. Matthew, finally, has some rather heavy scarring on his left shoulder that runs to the very base of his neck.

History

Matthew was born in Seattle, Washington to a Scottish father and very young American mother. His schooling and life were relatively mundane, and his grades and performance tended to be average. On the other hand, his home life was hectic and he spent a great deal of time dealing with his younger brother during fights between his parents.

Matthew’s life began to turn around after he and his brother joined his mother after she was divorced, and his high school career was more illustrious. He placed high in his classes and fell in love with a girl in his grade. Towards the end of his high school, however, their relationship degraded rapidly, and it was finally breaking up with her that motivated him to forego college and instead immediately join the military.

Matthew’s career in the USMC has been very mundane. Though he is well disciplined and physically capable, certain deficiencies have prevented him from fully realizing his potential as a soldier. Primarily, Matthew is a terrible swimmer and it is rumoured that it was only by the sympathy of the higher ups that he was allowed to pass as a true Marine. It is also noted that this seems the main reason Matthew has made very little progression in terms of rank.

|Extended Information|

Appearance

Alex is a bit shorter than most Marines, standing only 5'10". He's good at what he does, and has a very quiet, reserved personality. Easy to get along with, and very considerate of others, he doesn't mind playing the "packmule" to ensure that everyone has what they need to get the job done.

History

Alex was born in southern Connecticut into a middle class family. He made it through high school barely making an impression on anyone. He spent most of his time at home on a computer and was well known on the internet as somewhat of a computer genius. He joined the Marines immediately after graduating looking for a sense of belonging that he never found in high school. He warmed up to his entire training platoon quickly, and graduated at the top of his unit. Physically and mentally sharp, Alex was quickly recommended for USMC recon. He has spent the majority of his career in reconnaissance, and gets along with his squad very well.

Appearance

Basic Camouflage:

Special care has to be taken with the telescopic sight, because the front lens cannot be fully covered and is made of a highly reflective surface (normally polished glass) off which the glare of the sun can easily reflect, drawing attention to the sniper's position. Common solutions are to avoid exposure to direct sunlight by taking up a position in a shaded area or by cover the lens in non-reflective materials (some type of duct tape, fabric or metal mesh) leaving only a small slit to see through.

Snipers must also take into account the appearance under infrared (IR) light, because many armed forces now employ thermal vision devices that work in this spectrum of light as opposed to normal night vision devices that simply gathers and intensifies normal light. Some clothes or equipment stand out when viewed with thermal vision devices and care has to be taken in selecting and covering equipment so that the sniper is not readily visible when viewed under infrared light. Clothing or equipment not readily visible under infrared light is said to have a "low IR signature". Plastic or foil "thermal blankets" can also be employed to cover a sniper and their equipment, but these in turn must then be camouflaged (often local foliage or material).

Ghillie Suit:

Snipers with extreme requirements for infiltration and camouflage use a ghillie suit. The ghillie suit was originally developed by Scottish game wardens to better count game and catch poachers.

Ghillie suits can be constructed in many different ways. Some services make them of rough burlap (of the hessian kind) flaps attached to a net poncho. US Army Ghillie suits are often built using a pilot's flight suit, or some other one-piece coverall as the base. A full cover of rough webbing or fishnetting in a durable fabric is attached in irregular patterns designed to hide lines and blend in. Then, this is weathered using mud, by dragging it under or running over it with a car, and applying manure. When on location, as much of the local foliage as possible without restricting movement is applied to blend in. It is customary for the Ghillie suit to be made by the sniper, rather than bought.
An inherent problem with ghillie suits is internal (and sometimes, external) temperatures. Even in relatively moderate climates, the temperature inside of the ghillie suit can soar to over 50 °C (120 °F). There are also fire concerns, and usually suits have spray on flame retardant applied.

History

John was born in the heart of Europe and was from early childhood a gifted child. In order to expand his knowledge his parents sent him to the U.S to study. There he found himself interested in the military and joined as soon as he could. After years of rough training he was accepted to the sniper division. There he ranked among the best of his class and already has several successfully ended missions behind him.
