My Marine Command Character

Name: Jason Blackburn

Age: 37

Gender: Male

Appearance: [img]http://orig02.deviantart.net/b25e/f/2009/355/5/4/halo_marine_by_rhynodesign.png[/img]

Position: Marine, Chief Warrant Officer 5

Personality: Jason tends to be very friendly and easy to get along with generally, but shifts to a much more serious personality when taking command. He is very careful to make sure that if he spends the lives of his troops, he does so for a legitimate tactical reason, and not some "ideological assault." He takes an insult to either the Marine Corps, or anyone in it, as an insult to his personal being, and will quickly react accordingly.

Notable Skills, Combat or otherwise: He is trained in field command, squad, platoon, and battalion tactics, a skilled marksman, machine gunner, sniper, and grenadier, basic combat medicine, and a damn fine cook. He is also certified to drive the main combat jeep, MBT, and standard dropship. His personal armament preference is with a standard assault rifle and sidearm, with a few grenades on hand just in case. He takes a "lead from the front" approach to command, which has gotten him reprimanded for risk-taking more than a few times.

History: Jason grew up in the region of the former UK, in Weymouth. He was always a leader among his friends, getting them both into and out of trouble with his plans. He admired the soldiers of the UESA growing up as a child, and always dreamed of being one. This is why he enlisted as soon as he had the chance. He proved to be an exceptionally skilled soldier, and quickly gained experience to back that up. As he climbed through the ranks, he quickly showed that he was perfect for a command position, which is where he ended up. After commanding several ground engagements against rebel forces, he was assigned to the [i]Convergence of Destiny[/i], as the head of all ground forces aboard the vessel, and receives his orders directly from the captain, or Alice in a pinch.
