Squad Role: Marine
Appearance:




Origin: Island of Talran, The Jadelyn Empire.
Background:
The Jadelyn Empire is a fairly new sovereignty, seeing as just 40 years before it was a collection of other kingdoms and nations. The Emperor Kinad, a native of Talran, with a set of loyal and skillful generals, admirals, and allies, as well as his right hand woman Valeria, set up an invasion into the mainland, creating what we now know as The Jadelyn Empire. He was the first person to come up with the Marine squad of sappers, marines, heavies, and squad mages that has become a popular novelty of the countries bordering the Empire. The only army that will come even close to mirroring the effectiveness of his marines would later be The Black Company.

Hunter was born on the swashbuckling island of Talran, home to many pirates, mercenaries, and other individuals of questionable worth. His father worked as a fisher while his mom held an apothecary shop in the city. After an uneventful young teenage life, Hunter yearned to make something of himself – to see more of the world. That is when the future Emperor, Kinad, with his Admiral and Generals began to gather the famous 1st Jadelyn Army. Hunter quickly enlisted, to the dismay of his parents, and set out with them on the invasion of the mainland.

Hunter served through the Tollusian campaign, fighting countless battles and finally claiming most of the mainland for The Jadelyn Empire. He soon became an expert of warfare, and became a strong advocate of the marine system. Reaching the rank of Captain quickly, and even becoming a stolid friend of the Emperor and his staff, Hunter continued onto the invasion force that will begin invading Gallaia and Koniria. This is when the Bloody Coup took place back at the Jadelyn Empire, when Valeria decided to usurp Kinad using her countless connections of assassins. After having disposed of the Emperor, Valeria wanted to make sure that any officers or politicians that were close to the Emperor, nicked the “Old Guard,” would disappear as well.

New generals were placed in the 1st Jadelyn Army, which was at that time in Koniria. During one engagement, Hunter and his company were sent into the fray with promise of reinforcements. Landing on a coastal city port, Hunter and his company disembarked the ships and charged into the Konirian 3rd Host, obviously outnumbered. They stood their ground for as long as they could, and Hunter will never forget the lives that were lost that day. Some of his closest friends, some of the veterans he served all his life with died a meaningless death. Promised reinforcements never came. As Hunter called the retreat order, the company began to fall back to the ships. This is when, by order of Empress Valeria, the ships left the port before any of the soldiers can make it back.

What happened next was a massacre. The Konirian were ruthless, as they should be defending their homeland. They wanted every one of the Jadenese soldiers dead.

Hunter was one of the few officers who were not killed, but instead wounded and captured. After being held in prison for several months, with the Jadelyn armies and fleets, battered and torn by the paranoid tendencies of Empress Valeria, embarking back to the Jadelyn Empire, Hunter was given a deal for his freedom. Teach the Konirian generals and armies this deadly style of war that the Jadelyn Empire wages, with the use of sappers and marines.

After spending a year in Koniria instructing the generals, Hunter left on friendly terms. Hunter then began traveling the world, taking small mercenary work where he can and trying to stay away from organized armies in the fear of what happened before. He is very unwilling to take any position of leadership, even with his superb set of skills for that, due to memories of comrades and soldiers that died serving under him.

There then came a time when fellow soldiers in a small mercenary unit tried to kill him on the outskirts of Tysea. With the blade aimed at him missing by merely an inch, Hunter quickly slayed the attacker, before turning to find three more quickly charging at him. Throwing down a smoker he saved for emergency occasions such as this, the Talranian took down the soldiers. He then found a contract, signed by the Empress Valeria, which promised property and coin for Hunter’s head.

Hunter cut off one of the assassin’s heads, beat it against rock to an unrecognizable shape, and then sent it to The Jadelyn Empire, with his old Jadelyn 1st army sigil, which he kept to that day, as fake proof of his death.

The Talranian veteran now finds himself at The Alabaster City, finally safe from the Empress’s assassins, and signs up for the Fifth Echelon in hope of coin, and the chance to exact revenge upon the Empress.

- Remarkable swordsmanship skills that have been honed by decades of battle. A brutal, vicious, style that focuses on staying alive and decapitating the opponent.

My computer keeps fricken crashing... So annoying.

Anyway, IC post will be up in an hour.

Also, I vote for this to be The Dark Company's theme song haha

Personally I feel that a song like March of the Cambreadth would be more appropriate for a mercenary group in a medieval fantasy-ish setting. Especially when you read what the lyrics say.

I meant the out of character theme song :P

Obviously Rage Against the Machine would not be playing in Mirhandia.

But that's a pretty awesome song!

I should add a sword and shield >>

EDIT:
Sword and Shield added in Other Information.

There's always this

That doesn't really fit well with a mercenary theme as much as a drunken sailor vibe. If this was a sailing RP that would grab me. But with a land based merc band.
