Personality: Thoughtful. Opinionated. Driven. Pragmatic. Geoffrey is a man who lives by his ideals and will fight to support them. He values consistency and honesty, and does his best to never lie or betray the trust of others. He is loud, aggressive and brash, and has on many occasions been thought rude. He has little respect for authority, and though in his past enjoyed the trappings of rebellion more than the practice of it, he has shifted from that mindset. He values freedom more than anything, and he holds many viewpoints that many would consider optimistic. He has little time for faith or ignorance, and hates being uninformed. He is fastidious when learning and never stops analyzing situations, a double-edged attribute he has been tempering in recent years.
Background: Born to a British father and a Texan mother after moving to Sonomachi. Growing up as an outsider, he had an initially difficult but ultimately satisfying and happy childhood. A rambunctious child, Geoffrey nevertheless performed well in school and entered university double majoring in history and political science. He developed, after a trip to his mother’s homeland, a love of firearms, and chafes at the restrictions of his homeland in this regard. Just over three years after his graduation, he found himself pulled from his internship at a middling newspaper and into a fascinating, alien world, populated by all manner of hideous and incredible creatures by the whims of fate. Geoffrey has embraced his role as a chaser, and though he is still unfamiliar and afraid of the red wonderland, he has taken it upon himself to learn more about it and document it’s mysteries for the betterment of humanity.
Powers: Geoffrey noticed, when he entered the other world, time seemed to pass slower. Much slower. If he concentrated, he could make seconds multiply in length. Having seen some of the other fantastical abilities the denizens of this realm possess, he cannot say he is not disappointed, but he continues to study and train his newfound blessing.
Skills: Geoff used to pay the bills with his passable writing and mediocre photography, and those skills have not disappeared since his resignation. He was in good shape before his discovery, and since his becoming a Chaser his efforts at fitness have redoubled, personal safety and a new sense of manifest destiny a much better motivator than attracting women. Geoffrey has all sorts of ancillary talents, just like anyone, but his most applicable skillset to his new role under the crimson sky is not only his broad knowledge of the operation and manufacture of firearms, but his natural aptitude at their use, his skill under and returning fire improving by leaps and bounds after his circumvention of the prosaic firearms laws of his country, and the ample space for practice in this brave new world.
Weapons: Geoffrey first acquired an M4 thanks to leaps in the printing of lower receivers, and uses it as his weapon of choice in a pinch. He has multiple barrels and rounds for different combat applications, and a bevy of accessories if they are necessary. He managed to procure a Bren Ten, a passion acquisition primarily, thanks to the esoteric ammunition, and a large rifle chambered in .458 for handling the impressive threats he has seen in the distance of the red world.
Equipment: No explorer should go without a sturdy helmet and plate carrier, lengths of rope, plenty of ammunition, flares, an entrenching tool, a pair of sharp knives, a hand axe, and a set of city camouflage, custom tinted slightly red. He carries a rugged camera for video and photography, small enough to be carried in a pack and tough enough to survive some rough treatment, while being still affordable on his very tight budget. Having heard from stories about the terrible tales of people being manipulated through eye contact, he has managed to procure a pair of night-vision goggles, which will hopefully mitigate the danger of such a seemingly-unlikely occurrence.
Other: His personal heroes are Benjamin Franklin, Theodore Roosevelt, Winston Churchill and Erich von Manstein
