RPG Name: Embrz
Character Name: Markus Montgomery
Age: 31
Gender: Male

Personality: Pleasant, but very reserved. Markus is an enjoyable conversationalist, but a hard person to actually strike up a conversation with. He's the kind of person that will show up at a social function and sit quietly in the corner, waiting to be approached. He follows the "think before act/speak" mantra closely.

Background: Markus excelled through high school as the varsity football jock, prom king, and easily the most popular person in school. He was funny and lovable, smart and athletic. His grades were phenomenal, and his ability on the field was spectacular. Markus enjoyed his success with the constant acknowledgement that it would be short-lived and temporary. He lived high school to the fullest, enjoying every last second of it until it was over.

Straight out of high school, Markus joined the army. Naturally, his brilliant mind and superb physical ability stood out among the rest. Everywhere he went, he found himself as the smartest, the strongest, the fastest, the brightest. He quickly became the army's golden boy, with a near perfect success rate on assignments and absolute respect from both his peers and commanding officers. He rose through the ranks and before he knew it, the army was funding him through his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Economics before bringing him back for special forces training. And as always, Markus excelled. He completed training as expected and was quickly assigned to his first mission rotation.

But on that first mission, everything changed for Markus. He was assigned to a small raid in the hopes of "finding and destroying any and all enemy intel and resources" according to the mission briefing. Upon arrival, however, their mission was drastically changed by their commanding officer: they were told to level and burn the entire town and all its inhabitants in an attempt to intimidate the enemy into submission. Markus complied with his orders, but was traumatized by the experience. As the nuclear warheads were launched for the first time, Markus abandoned his post in the army seeking an answer to the many questions the raid had produced. After several months of wandering, he found himself at New Haven.

Connections: Nada.
Notes: Markus doesn't like blank notes sections, especially when he's asked to fill in the notes section.
