New call sign, Volkov and "She-Wolf", it goes well....it's not that she's gritty, it's the fact that in her own right, she's a badass woman, it sounds strange, but it would appear in her gear that she wouldn't be heavily feminine (though dem boobs maybe?)- so I agree on that one. There's a personality in there, and it definitely comes through. With a Pechneg Bullpup, if you absolutely need to murder everyone in a small area with lots of thin walls, it'll do the job really well. Not so good for hostage situations, mind.
Merlin in turn is an interesting one- while I would say he has elements of Voodoo shamelessly thrown into his character, he's a pretty unique one as far as I would have run him, being a weathered and hardcore motherfucker. Bearded, mountain of an individual, and a certain kind of attitude that is frightening if faced in the wrong way; he has this sharp mindset that can do his job very well, yet at the same time, kick people's heads in when the red mist descends, apply a level of violence that is maybe a little questionable. He has got a heart under that, but he still has this absolutely driven mindset to fuck people up, in whatever way works best at the time.
