-Name- B-L Sullivan./ "Sully" -Age- 35 -Job- Weapons/Muscle -Appearance- [hider=B-L][IMG]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110330194342/batmananimatedseries/images/b/b7/Dick_TNBA.JPG[/IMG][/hider] -Personality- Inspite of his occupation and his formidable presence B-L is actually a fairly laid-back guy. He doesn't believe in shooting first and asking questions later B-L prefers to think and learn about a situation as much as he can before he has to take action, so he can form the best possible plan for him and his crew. B-L is the first one to wade into a bad situation because B-L isn't concerned with his own safety but the needs of his crew are above all else to him. B-L knows he looks very intimidating and he relies on that intimidation to get either information that he needs, or to get someone to back down from a fight. If that doesn't work though B-L isn't afraid to use whatever means necessary to get the job done. B-L doesn't have some sort of love of violence or has some sort of blood-lust, but when he acts he tells himself that it's for the sake of others always. B-L doesn't talk a whole lot mainly because he is trying to get "reads" and "tells' on people, but he doesn't have a scowl on his face. He generally has a crooked smile and if he talks it's not mono-syllabic or nods and grunts. B-L says what's on his mind and every now and then cuts loose with a wise-crack, but it's never personal or at the expense of ruining a moment. -Specialties- B-L has mastered many kinds of firearms, explosives, and bladed weapons. He is a brilliant strategist and observant of the details around him and more than formidable when it comes to hand to hand combat. -Shortcomings- At times B-L can be too bogged down by details. His sense of loyalty to those he serves with can sometimes blind B-L to a situation where he could take unnecessary risks with his life. Although he doesn't show it too often at his core B-L is very much a cynic and always expects to see a worse case scenario. -History- Buddy Lee Sullivan was born in the Handot system on the outer moon of the Dalvaran system to Dr. Edwin and Sara Sullivan two archaeologists, and Buddy Lee was the third of four children. His older brother Richard is a star athlete and made his legend by being the star Dabo (combination Hockey & Basketball) player in college and eventually the number pick in the draft and enjoyed a long career and eventually became a coach. His older sister Diane is a brilliant actress and writer while his youngest sister has found fortune and fame as a chemist. Which left B-L struggling to not only find his place in the Universe, but with his own family. B-L tried many different things and the only thing he accelerated at was getting in trouble with one of the local gangs. His parents tired everything and at the age of 13 it seemed as though B-L was on his way to a stint on a rehab colony and after that a life of crime. Until one person in his family took an interest in him. His grammy Celia invited him to stay with her for the summer. B-L at first was "somewhat resistant" to the idea of staying with her, but seeing as he was before the judge for the 3rd time in 2 years and was given the choice of either a summer with her or 4 years in a rehab colony. B-L went to stay with his reclusive grandmother on Baylonto 6 at her private retreat the summer before his freshman year in high school. B-L figured he would stay and humor the old lady, but his first morning there B-L had a literal rude awakening. Celia woke him up at 0500 for a workout session, but B-L wasn't up for it. However after having a cold water dumped on him B-L suddenly woke up and was ready to go in 15 minutes. Celia took him down to her basement which was a workout center. She had B-L put on some sparring gear and Celia put some on. Celia told him to throw a punch at her, and B-L thought she was nuts. When he finally threw one halfheartedly Celia slipped the punch and through two sidekicks into his ribs and knocked him down with a right hook. Celia told him to stop screwing around and get serious, B-L threw one this time with force and power Celia ducked it and delivered an left upper cut that lifted B-L up. Celia told him that he threw punches like a drunk monkey and was amazed that he won any fights ever. She told him that summer he would learn how to throw a punch with purpose, how to use a weapon with focus, how to out think his enemy, and what it meant to value someone or something beyond himself. That summer B-L learned how to be disciplined and focused. 0530 and sparring and workouts until 0630, 0700 Breakfast. 0800 weapons training, 10:30 a break, 1100 studies focused on wars and warriors, 12:30 lunch and discussion of the lessons, 13:30 work on fixing up her retreat, 16:00 prep for dinner, 17:00 dinner. 18:00 break down of the day which sometimes included a story or two. 19:00 Bed and then another day began the same way. It took a couple of days but B-L not only got used to the schedule but he grew to appreciate it. At the end of the summer B-L was a changed young man and he asked his Grandmother why she did this. She told him that one day she'd tell him. B-L began to mature and saw that the military was a calling he would want to pursue, so he began to dedicate himself to this goal of being in the military. At the end of his freshman and sophomore years he went back to see Celia who would step up his training each year. Then came the end of his junior year and upon his arrival B-L was finally told why she did all this. Celia opened a trunk and took out a black Kevlar suit and B-L a trunk full of weapons. The weapons were somewhat dated but they would do the job if called upon and in mint condition. It turned out dear old Celia used to be in a special ops unit before she married B-L's grandfather. She then took out a jacket that was exactly like his old gang jacket. Celia was also a gang member who was taken in by someone who taught her everything that she taught B-L. She promised this person on his death bed that if she ever had the chance she'd repay that person by teaching someone else. B-L was that repayment. Celia told B-L all this now because she was dying and that now it was his turn to take over his training she was no longer able to, and the weapons were to be giving to him when he retired from the military. B-L graduated college and joined the Outer Rim Army. He was in the infantry and B-L saw a lot of action and eventually worked his way up to Gunnery Sargent. Once he was done with 12 years B-L figured he had enough and decided it was time to have a life outside of the military. The only job he was able to get was as a bouncer on a pleasure freighter and he lost that job when he tried to shoot the Captain. Granted the Captain was trying to rape one of the cocktail waitresses, but the freighter company wasn't about to get rid of one of their captains. B-L bounced from job to job each one though had two common factors; doing the right thing and seeking justice. B-L was about to sell his weapons to support two of his favorite habits; eating and drinking. Until he came across the Orion and it was there as a bounty hunter B-L finally felt like he found his home
