The Spanish soldier, on the orders transmitted and the gunfire starting, shifted his machine gun around and tried to fire at the enemy. Click. Click, click, click! Mierda! The gun has jammed! And there's really no time to clear it! He was on a tree! He grunted as he told everyone on his team. "Comrades! My gun has jammed! There's no time for me to clear it! I'm going down and making it personal!"

After that, he swiftly took out his knife and his pistol, climbing down the tree rapidly. Once his two feet were in contact with the ground and he turned around to face the enemy, he found one target. He didn't care if it was a machine or a human being or an alien. He swiftly aimed down his sights and fired at the center mass, grazing its right side only. Cursing in Spanish, he quickly thrust himself forward, stepping rather quickly until he could fire a clean shot at the target's head. One round. That was enough. Once the target was done, he made sure it was dead, shooting another round. After that, he went away, turning to face another enemy. He shot. Click! Another jam?! He growled at his firearm as he put away his pistol in the holster, turned his knife around and tossed it at the enemy's chest, pushing it down as Santiago quickly picked up a rock and randomly tossed it at the direction of the enemy before he ran away and found cover. Cover in the form of a large bloody tree.

Behind that, he began to clear the jams on both his pistol and his machine gun.

The Queen chuckled at the apology of the Irishman and she shook her head, telling him curtly

"No! It's fine. There's nothing to forgive, dear."

Then when he told them about himself, she nodded to this and told him "Ireland, huh? I once paid a visit there but I can no longer remember anything from it. I do know that you still make great potatoes too. That and alcohol." She then stepped to him and asked quite innocently

"Fancy a Guinness?"

Santiago rappelled down the VTOL after the rest had done so. Just as he was doing so, he made sure to get a good look at the ground and the surroundings. He saw trees. Tall, good ones. Once down on the ground, he picked up the pace, looking around with his machine gun for targets and threats. Then once cleared, he made sure to run towards one of the big trees. He jumped on it, catching a branch and started to climb. He was telling his squad mates

"¡Increíble! ¡Estoy en! Hey! I'll get us a good look over the area from here. I'll cover you all."

Then he shut up and started climbing up again, going quickly as if he was like a hyperactive kid again. He would continue to climb up until he finally found a really nice branch to stay on. He'd be there, with his MG set up on another branch, looking over the area. He'd have no trouble supporting them from here and neither would he suffer in his attempts to harass the enemy if they came.

The Spaniard nodded to the words of the man who announced the last of it. He was sure of it. Once it was on, he would be on. And so, without waiting at all, since he was sure of himself and he had his things with him, he boarded the aircraft and told Shahab

"I'm in. Let's do this, Sir. It's time to fight those aliens and make our names known!"

As he boarded, he started to check his weapons, most especially his machine gun. It was getting old but it was still well maintained and he trusted in that weapon. He maintained too his own pistol and the rest of his equipment. Soon enough, they'll go to battle. Soon enough, they'll see if they are up for it or not. And he too hoped for himself that he'd be okay.

If Soup and Angeline and the rest of the team were happy and excited, then he was too. And for them, yes, he'd do his best. His machine gun shall provide the security they all need.

The Queen from Spain smiled at both Anna, Cody and Kxeyun. Just as she thought they might be done talking or just as much as she thought that they might have settled and an opening for her to speak came, she said to them cheerfully

"I know I'm on another team but I'd like to make good with you all!" She bowed her head and rose straightly as she told them all "As you might know, I'm Mariano. Call me Encarnacion or Encarnation if the pronunciation is quite hard. I do apologize. I am from Spain, I defected from Paragon Industrial & Nuclear. My NC is a tank so I really am not like the rest of the Aristocratic Corp. It's very nice to have all of you together with us!"

And at that, she ended with a smile and turned away to Seamus, saying to him

"So, tell me more about yourself!"

The Spaniard nodded at the announcement their commander gave. It reminded him of old times. He wished for months, no, years! Years to finally go to combat, something more real than patrols in the deserts of África del Norte or attacking insurgent camps. He had been trained to do ambushes when he was an official member of the Legion but noooo~! It had to wait until he was now 45 years old. He smiled nevertheless because it was the polite thing to do and also because he was given a chance, a fat chance to get on this mission.

So be it.

He rose to the challenge and told their commander

"Eso es bueno. ¡Vamonos! I hope we can do this well!"

During the briefing, he paid close attention. He liked the details and the odds. He was able to determine that this mission would really need someone like him. Like before, he could support his new team as they conducted the raid. He'd provide area security, looking out for any intruders or enemy reinforcements. If that happened, he'd be their first line of warning and defense.

Once the briefing was over, he turned to his commanding officer and agreed to come along. He had his gear and his armor and his bravery. What were we waiting for? He thought with a Spanish grin on his face.

Ready and waiting. My first post will be around at least today.

Project Griffin

Name: Santiago Matthias, Suboficial mayor of the Spanish Army, the Spanish Legion
Country of origin: Spain
Class (AKA Specialty): Machine gunner / Bombardier
Appearance:

Bio: Born in Alicante, Spain, he was raised by a single mother after his father died in a car accident. His mother was a former police officer whose father served in the Second World War as part of the Blue Division. Together with him, they raised him to be responsible, loyal and patriotic. He was often reported to be protective and kind to others. He tended to be stubborn at times but he did his best and owned his mistakes when he committed them.

He was like this until he met his adopted sister, Camila. He looked after her long haired, green eyed and one-legged younger sister as much as he could. He sometimes skipped classes just to check on his sister as she studied in the nearby high school. Often, that got him into trouble but he managed to pass and finally entered the Spanish Army to support his family.

Santiago was a member of the 1st Division "San Marcial" in Burgos. There, he was trained to be a machine gunner for his old squad. He was an NCO thanks to his own efforts and the recommendation of his commanding officer, his uncle. From then on, he was transferred to the 1st Spanish Legion Tercio "Gran Capitán".

He first went under their ruthless training and earned his place among them when he saved a few Legionaries against orders to remain in the training base when they were under attack by North African insurgents. In addition to this, he and the rest of the Spanish Legion were deployed to Afghanistan to combat Taliban insurgents until 2014. After this, he was sent to Iraq and Syria to help local forces battle the Islamic State.

Eventually though, they too suspected foul play and corruption in the air. They also fled their posts because they feared the potential things that the aliens could do to their country. They feared that the aliens would destroy Spain and so, after much discussion and argument, they decided to go for it.

While he wanted to go back home and get his family out of Spain, he feared that they were dead and that he could be captured for desertion. So he and many of the Legionaries went AWOL and harassed all forces that tried to capture or kill them in the deserts of North Africa. They were then found by Griffon and taken in.

For now, Santiago is trying to accept his new life as a rebel while finding a way to contact his lost family. His sister, his mother and his grandfather.

Personality: Santiago is loyal and cool headed. He enjoys socializing with others and can get along quickly. He prefers to work in support of his team and doesn't like it when they get hurt or lost. He does his best to cover them and personally does his best to support each one of his team mates.

The Queen smiled at the somewhat loud but friendly and new volunteer. She approached him and offered her hand to the man, saying to him gently

"It is not too much trouble, really. Anyway, my name is Mariano. Just call me that. Anyway, I am from Spain. I'm volunteering here in order to get back my country from the Paragon Corp. In addition, I hope to befriend you over the course of this great war."

Then she turned to the other people in the room, telling them with the same smile

"Hello again! I hope we can all work together and better this time. I hope I could find that person who saved me from that battle. I owe them my life and my NC!"

After she said that, she chuckled and turned back to Seamus, telling him

"You were asking me about my story right? Or did you mean someone else?"

Sorry! >.< I was in a hurry! I will quickly revise it
