Weakness:
forgetful: like his father before him he tends to have to be reminded of his mission halfway though always resorting to “wing it” when unsure of what to do
The “I’m all high and mighty bullshit”: Dan always underestimate his opponents usually granting them more opportunities then they should have to begin with
Curious with the dying: when left alone with the mortally wounded Dan always end up messing with them most of the time to the point of killing them

Background: Dan Vidson comes from a very wealthy family, but this didn’t help poor Dan for when he was just 2 years old his mother left both him and his father for another man. Filled with pain his father started traveling around the world years at a time only coming back only to sleep and to plan his next travel plans never spending time with his only son. This made Dan spiteful and destroyed what little chance he had for a normal life. While Dan grew up with little to no supervision he turned to torturing small animals to the point of killing it often trying new and different methods. His interest with torture started when he was 3 he found a drowning squirrel in his fathers pool, it was so fascinating to Dan he but he could't understand why, why it was doing that so he figured that helping it drown would be the best solution. He came back after grabbing a stick he held the squirrels head under the water this power he felt this would stick with him for the rest of his life that power is what he craves. When Dan goes to school most of the times falls asleep in class, despite this he has never gotten below a B in any of his classes. Dan loves to manipulate others even to the point of starting fights but this is what Dan wants for he always carries a knife for just such a occasion for it is always great to be the one that doesn't get in trouble. Dan so far has no criminal record to speak of why this is nobody knows.

[Jinxer]

Name: Rhiannon Jones
Age: 24
Sex: Female

Appearance

Personality:

• Chipper - cheerful and upbeat about most things. While perhaps not inspirational she can relieve some gloom with her optimistic attitude.
• Personable - while not necessarily a socialite, Rhiannon is someone who has the knack of getting on with others. This may not be a buddy-buddy type relationship but, at the very least, means that working alongside her is never a problem.
• Inoffensive - she goes to great efforts not to step on anyone's toes without being completely passive. Rather than taking sides she becomes an arbiter, mediating between disputing groups thanks to her apparently empathetic nature.
• A bit slow on the uptake - she can be slow to grasp a tense situation and this can become an issue when she enters a standoff with her cheerful mood.
• Weak nerves - while not a coward, Rhiannon is reluctant to step out of her comfort zone which is largely limited to things she knows she is proficient at. In a combat situation this could cause her to hesitate to take on a role she has little to no experience with.
• Slow to master - Rhiannon is not a quick learner. Once she has something down, she knows it like no one else. Getting to that point, however, can take her quick a while longer than others. She's a hard worker which goes some way to compensating for this flaw but nevertheless she may lag behind others to begin with.

Skills:

• A good singer - being from Wales, Rhiannon has been well schooled in the art of singing through school choirs. As an added bonus, her lyrical accent makes nearly anything she says sound musical. She can't play any musical instruments, however.
• Stamina - alongside her flaw of being a slow learner, Rhiannon has developed considerable stamina. She is by no means a slow runner but it is in the endurance challenges where she will shine.
• Chess genius - no one has won against her in years and she enjoys crushing those who challenge her.

Background:

Rhiannon was born in central Wales, in the shadows of the Brecon Beacons. Both her parents hailed from the area, as had their parents, such is the nature of those born in the Valleys to settle where they were born. As the only child she was showered with love and gifts and so found it easy to venture out of the constricting and traditional daily Welsh Valley life, visiting the larger towns and cities just across the border into England. Later, after school, she moved out entirely and studied Chemistry at Cardiff University, staying in the halls of residence there.

That is not to say that she found it easy to adjust to city life, with the thousands upon thousands many more people living and working there compared to the slow and quiet days in the Valleys. Still, she enjoyed the bustling nature of the city while still being surrounded by her fellow Welsh for comfort. Gaining her degree she was reluctant to return to the Valleys, the expectation that she would abandon her adventure and settle down with one of the local boys (there were, according to her mother, several interested parties). Instead she took up another family tradition, one that could not be argued with, and enrolled in the military. Thus, she was posted across the Atlantic to America to begin her training.
