Description

Image
Image


Name: Amos Quintrell

Gender: Male

Role: Soldier

Age: 24

Appearance: Amos has dark brown hair that is layered and is usually flinged to the side. He has narrow eyes, the irises the colour of a dull, stormy sky (A dark blue edging to grey). He looks quite like both the images on the left but doesn't tend to wear such detailed clothing like the first. His suits count as casual and they usually look like this.

Skills: He has fair enough experience with a gun and has previously worked in law enforcement as well as served in the Queen's army. Amos believes only on the real and proven, so he thinks the paranormal is a load of dung; this means that he doesn't get scared easily and rarely hesitates on logical decisions.

Personality: Amos can only de described as "sadistic," sadistic people like to humiliate or demean people in the presence of others and finds pleasure in psychological or physical suffering of others. However acquaintances you take this seriously, he will only behave extremely sadistic towards people who deserve it and will protect fellow team members when needed. He uses sarcasm in a light-hearted way, not in the intentions of hurting the person. He does actually have a caring side to his personality but doesn't show it, instead he hides it behind indifference and a mixture of sneers, criticism and general negativeness.

Fears:
~ Not being able to complete the expedition
~ Vunerability

Likes:
~ Understanding the enemy and his/her weaknesses
~ Small conversations
~ Weapons at the ready
~ Enough ammo
~ Tactical thinking and specific objectives, he hates going into the battle zone without any planning
~ Being calm in the face of danger

Dislikes:
~ Illogical hypotheses
~ People being stubborn and not co-operating
~ Obstacles that may get in the way of his work
~ People seeing his soft side
~ Being in complete darkness

Equipment:
He uses a large rucksack to pack in all of his things but only keeps light items, fearing that heavy items may slow him down.
~ The only gun he has at the moment: his Glock 19 (9mm) and the two clips of ammo
~ A fur coat
~ A few canned provisions
~ A torch and spare batteries.
~ A small portable radio
~ His phone, nothing fancy
~ Insulated socks and mitts.
~ Toilet paper

Backstory:
Amos lived with his father and two of his older brothers. His mother was murdered when he was ten but obviously his father or siblings didn't tell him that directly but Amos figured it out himself anyway. The loss of their mother made a huge impact and the family became fragile. Hoping it would distract him of the fact, he applied to be a cadet - once he was old enough - and started training to be part of the British infantry alongside his brothers. He became part of the front-line after training for several years, by then he was 20. In the same year, his oldest brother was killed in a bombing in Afghanistan. Both Amos and his remaining brother were torn because of the death and decided to quit the army so there would be less of the risk. Amos never got over the death, especially because it reminded him of his mother, but during this long "mourning" period he had grown a hard shell and a sadistic nature. He didn't want another death to break him up so easily. After another a year or so, he joined the police; he was itching to grasp a gun once again. He believed that maybe working for justice would be avenging for both of their deaths. He soon turned to be a valuable asset in the force. After several successful cases, he came upon one for a murder. After hours of research one night, he identified that all the evidence pointed to a number of female deaths, one included his mother. He did the case with a steely heart and once he found the suspect, Amos shot him dead without a backwards glance. After he was caught in the incident, he was forced to leave his job. No-one wanted to work knowing there was a murderer was present with them. It wasn't written as a criminal record but Amos still found it hard to find a good job to keep his bills at ease, despite this he never became desperately needy but instead his shell hardened. It seemed his life became from bad to worse, after it dawned on him how hopeless he was in the situation he was in, he would never regret his sweet vengeance for his mother though. He found information of the expedition among frivolous adverts and immediately called for an inquiry, staring at the pricey reward while doing so.

So begins...

Amos stared at his hands. His large palms could still remember every last memory, that smooth feel of leather as the hand grip would slip easily into his hand. It always fell into a rhythm and Amos came to realise just how.. complete a gun could make him feel whenever it was in his hand. His Glock 19 was just resting in his rucksack among his supplies, it was so tempting.

After he was fired from the police force he made a mental vow to never touch, or hold, the weapon ever again. It was a mechanism that could kill people, it killed his mother's murderer. But it also killed his brother. Amos decided to encase the gun, along with its ammunition, in a glass box. He kept it in the storeroom located near the kitchen, but the presence was just too unbearable to work around so he decided to bring it up into the attic. Days before the expedition, he knew he knew he had to open it, if he didn't he knew he would hesitate when it came to the real thing. Who knows what could be out there in Antarctica. And besides, he had grasped a gun for the majority of his life; somehow it grew to become an important aspect of his very being. He opened the box with trembling fingers, it took him a while to prize open the lock before it popped open. He held it in his hand, gazing at it for what seemed a century, before he shook off the stiffness and hurriedly stuffed it into his rucksack.

Amos didn't understand why it was so important back then or why he seemed to ponder over it regularly. But he came to the conclusion that there didn't need to be a reason, it just occurred. He clasped his hands tightly together for a brief moment before sliding them into his coat pockets. He squinted at the group from a distance away, two of them had already greeted the leader; he assumed the leader was the one who had come from the boat. Amos then began to move. He was reluctant at first, deliberately taking slow steps before it revolved into a paced stride. He walked across the pavement of the cobble-street before heaving himself onto the wooden ramp. He was convinced that the gun was throbbing out an unavoidable aura but decided to ignore it as best as he could, instead Amos distracted himself by scrutinizing the first members of his team.

"Amos Quintrell," He said wearily, running a hand through his hair, "It's a pleasure to meet you."

Amos frowned when the leader nodded his head towards him. It had been years when somebody had last done that, it was at his mother's funeral. He bit his lip, not now, that's not important right now. Amos fell silent when David asked for any questions, his mind had turned blank for anything of a logical use. H walked slowly down the stairs into their quarters. It was slightly cramped but he couldn't complain. At this point, the rucksack just became too painful to carry around so he slipped it off and lowered it onto the floor. He made sure it only created a muffled thump. He look around at the room, two bunk beds.

He dragged his rucksack to the side of the other bunk bed and sat on the bottom bunk's mattress. The top bunk caused him to lean over. He saw that the Engineer had already claimed the other bottom bunk and the Medic had just traveled downstairs. Suggesting by his cheery tone, he expected the Medic, who had no introduced himself as Aiden, to be a rather naive figure. He couldn't tolerate those kind of people, but he thought it was unreasonable to assume such things and then suddenly have grudge against a team member at such an early stage.

He ignored the last statement and seeing there was nothing for him to say, since he had already introduced himself, nodded courteously and then remained silent.

(OOC: Can I just assume that Dimka got my top bunk? XD)

Amos blinked in surprise as a woman approached his bunk and claimed the top bunk above his. He slid a bit farther into his bed and averted his eyes as the stranger collected her own pillow from her bag. His sapphire eyes gazed elsewhere as he tried to distract himself as much as possible from the inevasible... article in front of him. He gave up and decided to put his head in his hands, he prayed to any god out there - for he was an atheist - that the female gender would may not hinder him anymore than it had affected him for the first five minutes they had just entered into the quarters.

He had promised himself to make a good impression during the initiation, he wasn't much for socialization but he understood how one snarl, for no real excuse, may sway the other team members's feelings of him. He understood how he had to gain their trust, something he had always objected to doing for years. He had his own personal reasons to not like people in general, as a whole, but women.. He just could not get used to them and knew he never would. Once they reached to Antarctica he would guarantee to shout out all his complications into the cold air, his problems would manifest into steam before spreading out into the atmosphere.

He raised his head and reached out his hand to touch her shoulder. He then did a double take and instead stretched his forearm to grab his rucksack that was lying on the floor beside the woman, taking care not to meet the her gaze while doing so. He snagged a can of baked-beans and a can opener in amidst the rest of his supplies.

Amos opened his tin discreetly. A can of cold backed beans wasn't exactly a king's meal but it made his stomach growl all the same. Noticing that he didn't have a spoon, he pressed the tin to his lips and slowly but efficiently gulped it down. He listened to John's and Juno's conversation vaguely while doing so, Amos felt a light pang of envy to think that strangers could socialize so easily.
He looked at his can-opener and shook his head. Why did I bring a can-opener and not a knife? It seemed anxiety blinded his usual sense of responsibility as well as his ravenous appetite since the day before.

He watched his bunk mate walk out into the hall, a set of clothes in hand. He frowned at how unsuitable her apparel were for an expedition, he hoped she had something thicker in that bag of hers.

Soon after, he heard a few seconds of white noise as the intercom from above turned on. "Sorry guys electricity is running low, I'm going to have to shut it off."
Amos looked calmly upwards as he saw the lamp attached to the ceiling, their only light source, dim and then cease completely leaving the team in complete darkness. He silently felt around for his torch in the bag but didn't bother turning it on, Juno had already done the same. He was accustomed to the dark, he lost his fear during training for the Army. At one point, well more than one, he would have to wait hours in places with little to no source of light; waiting for predetermined assaults or terrorist attacks.

Seconds later, he heard a scream and then watched as Aiden hurried into the hallway, moving blindly through the gloom. Amos hesitated for a minute before breathing in deeply, placing his torch in his coat pocket and swiftly following the fellow. He paced quickly to the woman's side, passing Aiden, and hoisted her up.
He got out the torch, switched it on and pressed it into her hand. "Are you okay?" He muttered carefully.

Amos let go when Dimka pushed him away, he moved backward but looked at her with a searching glance. He shook his head and growled.
"Be more careful," replied Amos dryly and narrowed his eyes, "Keep the torch."
He made his way back into the quarters before pausing where Aiden was standing, he nodded his head towards him before continuing down the hallway. He sighed as he slid his body into the bed and lied down, he looked up at the wooden base of the top bunk. He grimaced at how reckless he had just been, Amos swore he wouldn't take action unless thinking beforehand. Aiden had already gone to help, so how was Amos of any use at that point?
This day is going to drag on, thought Amos and sighed. He wished he had brought something to entertain himself, and he still regretted not bringing a knife. He slowly moved his head towards the other two in the room, his interest was caught by the magazine the man was reading. Amos knew that his Glock might not be enough for the expedition, he seriously needed a good assault rifle. He remembered the massive collection of prototypes back at the Army Base and felt like choking himself.
Shit, I so should've stolen one...

Amos eyes shot open as the large bang seemed to crack the silence. He immediately sat up, his eyes widened. After a second, his eyes narrowed and frowned. The boat must've bumped into something... He growled after realising he woke up for nothing, he looked around and saw that the woman who had be conversing with John earlier had also been woken up by the noise, her eyes open.. It seemed that Dimka had yet to return from her shower. Amos also saw that Aiden's bed was empty. He guessed that he might've gone elsewhere, also woken by the loud bang. He shook his head once more and noticed that he still had slept with his trench coat and blazer still on. He slowly took of each layer, still bleary from sleep, and stood up briefly to tuck them under his bunk.

Afterwards he lied back on the mattress, conscious of the other awake presence in the room. Despite being still rather tired, he could not sleep. His muscles and bones refused to moved but he simply could not close his eyes. Amos concluded that he would just stay there and do nothing, waiting god knows how long until sleep would just fog his view.
