Mass Effect: Downfall

"Jackson!" a voice yelled, snapping Paul out of his slumber. Opening his eye Paul looked around, he was asleep on your standard regulation bunk, to his right he saw the dulled partly rusting surface of the wall. A number of photos and letters were pinned to the wall, a photo of his family, a photo a girl the usual stuff. Paul looked down at himself, he was wearing his Combat armor, normally it would be near impossible to get any sort of sleep in full kit, but he was just so tired. next to his right leg sat his sealed helmet. Turing his head left he saw the interior of a make shift barracks, the walls were made of sheets of scrape metal built against the the side of the colony. As he looked around he saw a few others sleeping, one or two were looking at him. "Jackson?" the voice said sweetly. Paul tensed up as he looked "up" there stood a woman with blonde hair tied in a bun, blue eyes and tan white skin, dressed in combat armor, the bars on her neck were that of a major. Suddenly realizing Paul rushed out of his bunk and quickly stood at attention "Major Mahad! ma'am!" 'Now I'm gonna get it..." he thought as the major looked him over "walk with me Jackson..." she said annoyed as she left the barracks. Quickly Paul followed her out into cool air of the world, the colony had been built on a heavily forested world rich in ores with the crust of the world. The ores from here were vital for ship and weapons production. the world it's self was a pain, during the rainy season it would rain nearly every day and would be cold as hell, during the summer it was fine, were it not for the predators that roamed the forests. For most this would be a hell hole, the on redeeming quality would be the colony. built in the rocky plateau side of the mountain the colony wasn't stuck in the mud,along with being out of the mud the orbital defense cannons that had been built to protect the mines was perfectly function. All three stood along side the colony. since the plateau was huge the colony could expand, Considering the new influx of refugees the fact there was ample space was great for building a refugee camp.
As the two walked the major began to speak "Jackson I got an assignment for you..." the major said as they walked to the CIC. The room was alive with activity. patrols reporting requests for landings, requests by civilians flooded the room. "Jackson...We have contacted Admiral Hackett... Earth is under enemy occupation..." suddenly the room went quiet as every single person in the room stopped and stared at the woman. Paul felt a pit form in his stomach as the news sunk in. "Ma'am?" he said confused. "that being said...Earth isn't lost even now our forces are marshaling to take it back, our little slice of heaven is to be a stopping point for refugees and military ships passing to the front." she said as she turned to Paul "Jackson we have a number of volunteers, who want to help...I know we can't spare it but since being an N7 and all you would be the best to train them...I am not forcing you, I just figured it would give you something to do to break the boredom. Paul blinked once He had become an N7 really by chance because he had survived something others didn't. He had been accepted to villa, he really didn't expect to go anywhere. He thought that he would wash out after the first test, some how he had made it, with a combination of pure luck and to make his mother proud,the first time in in his memory that he took something seriously, his mother had been so proud. officially he had been an N7 for an 12 hours before he ended up in this hell hole, as he was given his certification as he boarded the ship.
Paul swallowed, he wanted to say no, and go back to just patrolling the colony and watching for signs of reapers. The major had been a friend of his mothers, they had gone to school together. When ever she was on earth and had leave she would always make sure to visit, to Paul she was like family. Paul also knew she was play favorites trying to give him something to occupy his time from something other then earth. a first since being assigned to her unit. At the start she had made it clear she was gonna treat him like any other marine. up to this point she had, often yelling at him for skipping on work or for not taking being a marine seriously. After a few seconds more of thinking Paul saluted and said "I would gladly accept the position."

Personality

Dominic is considered a "run of the mill" Khorenheim stormtrooper. As with all Khorenheim personal he follows orders well and does so with the least loss of life. While as a whole the people form the Reich care little about the loss of life in service of the union, Dominic considers himself in the military progressive camp as he has no problem with off worlders. While off worlders would still see him as cold and strict he is viewed by his peers to be more open and "friendly". Originally considered to be officer material due to hos loyalty and combat experience, he was denied because of two major "flaws".Recently he developed symptoms of PTSD that manifests its self in nightmares and difficulty falling or staying asleep. While this is not uncommon for soldiers from the Reich, it has made him unstable to lead anything more then a squad. The second being his friendliness with people of Novogorod blood, Dominic personally doesn't care for Novogorod but since he knows at some point they will be forced to work together he sees dealing with them as a necessary evil to understand them so they may function better.He mainly dislikes them due to the sloppiness of their culture and not for the fact they occupied his home world, though to say that doesn't play into it would be a lie.
Off duty Dominic is your average Khorenheim soldier as he spends his time maintaining his weapons, equipment, drilling in Hand to hand combat, rifle training and squad maneuvers. the Khorenhim people may be tough, but even they know soldiers need to blow off steam and feel human. Of the many things Khorenheim command offer the soldier, Dominic enjoys drinking, reading the regimental news paper, reading the distributed pocket books, and the infamous Khorenheim Fight league (The KFL). while the fights can be brutal by off worlder standards, Dominic enjoys simply because it is better then being alone with his thoughts. As a side note Dominic enjoys to company of animals since he was stationed at a military Animal training area.

• Loves animals
• excellent Hand to hand combat

History

Born on Khorenheim Dominic was brought up in a very average Khorenheim way. Like most schools on his planet they prioritized military necessity. While it was volunteer to enlist, you were expected to either Enlist in either the planets or the unions forces, while that was expected it was a mark of honor to be accepted in the R&D department. In middle school along with things like math and science Dominic was trained in basic survival skills such as basic medical treatments, classes to instill loyalty and obedience, marching, barracks life, maintaining weapons,using weapons and basic fitness. In middle school Dominic joined his schools taskforce (basically students participated in mock battles, the Khorenheim equivalent to a schools soccer team). In high school Dominic continued learning advanced rifle training, tactics,hand to hand combat, marching in full combat pack, history and survival tests. Dominic's middle and high school years were tough, leaving many physical and a few mental scars. For the two years after high school Dominic was accepted into a Khorenheim stormtrooper academy. While most Khorenheim care called storm or shock troopers, among them are the elite, the true Stormtroopers men and women that were the spear of the Reich's forces.. Hand picked for their loyalty, obedience and skill. For two years Dominic went though tough psychological and physical conditioning. Storm troopers were considered paragons of the Khorenheim way. Soldiers who would unflinching follow any order given to them, given the best training and equipment offered by Reich. They were the first in and the last out, though more recently they were the counter insurgent experts, often called in for the most dangerous missions.
When his two years were done Dominic ,when it came time to enlist, enlisted in coveted Shock trooper corps. during his time as a recruit Dominic had to prove himself in combat. The academy had only given him a spot in the corps, he would have to fight to ensure he was worthy. During his first two years he was placed on counter insurgency detail with the 3rd shock regiment, for his first combat mission Dominic's squad ordered to raid a suspected safe house for nationalists from Novogorod. While the fighting was fierce as the insurgents put of a good fight, killing several of Dominic's squad, ultimately Dominic's squad wiped out all within the safe house. For a year Dominic did this, raiding safe houses and ending terror attacks before they started. Dominic's last mission though was beyond anything he had previously dealt with. Dominic's regiment was sent to put down a minor revolt on a back water planet, The people wanted independence from the union while the Local government were loyal to the union. The 3rd was sent to put down the revolt quickly and brutally, under the command of a Inquisitor the regiment did what it was ordered to do. The regiment earned its bloody nickname "the bloody 3rd" Even among the Khorenheim the actions are controversial.Dominic, now promoted to watchman, was ordered to kill any to offered resistance. During the initial Landings of the third the regiment in capital the regiment broke the attack and captured hundreds of insurgents. Under normal circumstances they would be brought back for information and treated as POW's, The inquisitor ordered the 3rd to execute each and everyone of them. There were men, women, and a few children if any of the 3rd felt morally wrong they said nothing as they gunned them down. Originally this was to break the insurgents back, but all it did was strengthen the cause. What was supposed to a end to a minor revolt sparked a year long outright rebellion.
The 3rd along with loyalist regiments paid the price of the inquisitors stupidity. The cry for vengeance by the people was every where, more and more people flocked to the rebellion as news of the massacre spread. Soon the loyalists were outnumbered as the insurgents grew, Slowly the Loyalist began to lose thee war. During the battle the 3rd became the inquisitor's personal force, Sent out into the thickest fighting and ordered to "teach these scum what it meant to cross the union." slaughtering of towns and villages became common place for the 3rd. Orders were to kill any who surrender unless otherwise ordered, Dominic on several occasions had to drag people out of their homes to be "distributed punishment for turning their back on the primarch." As the killings increased so did the losses of the union. The insurgents now out numbering the union forces started making gains. quickly the war turned in favor of the insurgents, loyalist regiments were over run by wave after wave of insurgent forces. when it became clear the inquisitors command base was soon to be attacked he ordered the 3rd to hold position and buy him time to escape. They followed the order to the letter. As the inquisitor escaped to safety the 3rd was surrounded. For six days they fought making the insurgents pay for every inch of ground. on the sixth day, forced to fall back to the command building the surviving troops of the 3rd prepared to make their last stand. out of ammo, medical supplies and using captured enemy weapons the remaining troops held the building waiting for the final attack. Before the insurgents could make their final push a miracle happened, reinforcement arrived under the command of inquisitor Drogan. he had been dispatched to salvage the revolt, and to evaluate the previous inquisitor. After the 3rd was relieved they were ordered to report to the capital for a break. for two months they were stationed in the capital, they received reinforcements and kept from the front. The 3rd received a total of 93% casualties during the fighting
After two months the war ended, the 3rd was reformed and stationed as a training regiment. Dominic then began to show signs of PTSD as he, along with many of the 3rd would wake up screaming. When news of the recon regiment was passed through the 3rd Dominic signed up immediately. He had grown restless doing nothing but teach, he was a soldier and he knew he had to volunteer.
