Already knew from IRC, but having it OOC just makes it feel better.

Thank you, sir. I'll make sure not to let you down.

Sorry! IRC was slowing down my internet speed and it kicked me off

[Antagonist]

Name: Donald Colbeck
Country of origin: England
Speciality: Heavy
Appearance:

Appearance

Bio: Donald was born in London, England to a highly militaristic family. His father was a Sergeant within the British Army and Donald intended to follow in his footsteps. However, Donald's father was killed while on patrol in Afghanistan. His mother didn't want Donald to suffer the same fate as his father, but he felt it would dishonour his father's memory if he didn't join the army. That's exactly what Donald did when he left school. He was a Corporal when the paranormal forces attacked USA and then the UK. Donald was recalled from active duty in Iraq and put on the front lines to defend against the forces while civilians where evacuated. It went horribly wrong and his entire squad was decimated and he was the only survivors. Wanting vengeance, he joined ParaCom.
Personality: Donald is a generally likeable character, believing that it's better to have more friends than enemies in the world's current state. At the mention of paranormal forces though, he turns into something else. He wants to get revenge on them for killing his squad back in England. He is the type to follow orders down to the bone. He isn't disrespecting and will almost always listen to anything people have to say. He also enjoys what he does and feels he was destined to be a soldier from a young age.

Name: Wolfgang Müller
Country of origin: Germany
Specialty: Assault
Appearance:

Appearance

Bio: Wolfgang was born in Munich and quickly given to a foster home as his parents could not cope with a child because they were so poor. He got into fight after fight with the other children, and quickly became an outcast. He left school at 16 and decided to join the army as no other career choices were open to him. After ten years in the army, he was promoted to Sergeant and then the paranormal forces attacked. They spread across the globe swiftly, decimating anything and anyone in their path. After Wolfgang witnessed the genocide committed by them, he decided to join the ParaCom to get revenge on them.
Personality: Wolfgang is a shy kind of guy, and doesn't easily open up to anyone. He prefers to stick on his own, but will happily help his squad and anybody in need if the situation requires it. He dislikes annoying people and almost immediately jumps to violence. His favorite pastime is to sit down and read a book in his quarters or work out in the gym, alone. Among his peer group, he always was an outcast and prefers to stay that way so his anger problems don't get him into any trouble with his superior officers and get himself discharged.

Welcome to the squad, soldier. Also, another Englishman? Heh.

I'll have to discuss with Uber but for now, your character looks good, Antagonist.

[Ubermensch]

Antagonist, good job! I'm adding to my list.

[Derpestein]

Anyways, sorry for not going on the IRC.

iPad is a mega ass.

The spar will commence soon though.
