Magical Ability description(If sorceress):
Non-standard gear(Other than the basic guns and rifles, melee weapons and ammunition must be described here):
- High Mobility Transporter (Recon)
A high mobility transport(HMT) vehicle equipped for long ranged recon missions. The HMT Recon is open topped which greatly improves vision and equipped with multiple back up Jerry cans for extended recon missions. The vehicle drives well in rough expansive terrain and its can suspension can handle a maximum speed of 130km on road and 90km off road. Even on its recon configuration, the HMT carries an HMG on a rotating centra ring for 360° fire and a passenger mounted MMG for forward fire support. Another one of the HMTs greatest assets is the amount of space in the back which can carry a large number of special equipment or supplies, an asset which has been used in the past to set up ambush sites deep into enemy territory. One of the few drawbacks is the thin armor which unless specifically equipped with an armor packed that greatly increases weight can be penetrated by small arms weapons. Another minor problem is the lack of windshields and environmental controls, like AC, on the vehicle which leads to incidents of crew members being pelted by insects or dust at high speed or having to wear heavy clothing to resist the chilling winds when driving quickly. Comes equipped with a heavy radio... of course.
- Barbed wire: A large spool of barbed wire kept in storage. Used under certain terrain to restrict or trap witches in flight. Also used to restrict beast like supernals.
- M16 Anti Personnel Mine (Including metal stakes and metal wire): Bouncing shrapnel mine kept in storage.
- Misc Scout equipment: Just random bits and bobs that a scout needs. Binoculars, Radio, Navigation Tools like a map and compass. James also has a pair of combat goggles and a sick ass scarf both to keep the elements at bay while driving and to protect his eyes/face from shrapnel during combat. Two rolls of camo netting.
Physical description:
Biography: James grew up with a perfectly normal life in Lake Mungo raised by two loving parents and three older siblings. He didn't at all feel oppressed by the heavy surveillance the government has on its people instead, he felt incredibly content and happy that big brother was keeping such a close eye on him. Due to a mix of laziness and general incompetence when he graduated high school James found out that he'd incorrectly filled his college paperwork and that due to this is he'd been denied admission to the business course he'd selected, he did not apply for safeties. Not knowing what else to do with his life, James enlisted with the military in an effort to find structure and meaning in his life doing something he felt mattered. After months of basic training he applied for a commando regiment because he wanted the best training out there to survive and because he felt it'd be cool. James struggled heavily in training due to a lack of experience and aptitude in pathfinding/wilderness navigation making it third worst in his batch but he somehow managed to barely pass after another few months and a freak drop bear attack left so many of his group wounded. When a high ranking military officer came to his military base in an effort to recruit new soldiers into Gram, unknownst to them for a dangerous military operation set for sometime in the future, James jumped at the call since he was confident in his skills after training for so long.
EDIT: I changed his background to a barely passed commando (Seemed like the same skills anyway), because I wanted to make a dropbear joke and I didn't know where else to put it aside from having them be the reason he passed commando training. I put the name as generic commando regiment because I don't know what Australian special forces still exist in the GRAM world. Also added in parachuting because I think I heard pretty much all special forces need to have that as training, probably won't come into play though but it's there.
I also wanted to somehow shoehorn the blatant ghost and supernatural bullshit in Lake Mungo (Even in real life) but I can't seem to think of a good way to put it in.
Ohh and if you read this could I have confirmation on what kind of vehicles we can get? I'm assuming you're gonna restrict it to something with heavy armor but light weapons so we can't just 30mm/40mm autocannon a witch to death. I'm actually fine with the jeep but I'd be happy to have permission to get something more modern and not a jeep used by the SAS before they became the SAS. Wiesel's cool, it's literally a modern day Tankette. Also, the LRPV is pretty much the jeep in the picture but modernized since you can strap an MMG into the passenger window ALSO it carries a motorbike in the back!
EDIT 2: JESUS CHRIST! What the hell is wrong with Australian vehicles. Never before have I seen military vehicles with this much awesome stuffed into metal boxes. They strapped a freaking Recoilless rifle onto a six-wheel ATV, So many of their vehicles just straight up attach guns onto the passenger side window and their new special forces vehicle, the high mobility transporter, looks like an ORK TRUKK.
