History: Gibson came from a simple farming family. Growing up in Redding there were few options available to him. Farming or Military service were the only two options really available to him. There was no money to transport him into the city, and even if there were he was a country boy. The Danton Family controlled most of the farming in Redding and weren't particularly fond of his family. He could have fought long and hard to establish a farm for himself, but having grown up around it he was ready for something new. Service in the NCR Military at the time meant being involved in the grand expansion demanded by the recently popularized theory of Manifest Destiny.
Gibson joined the NCR Military and excelled rather quickly. Growing up exploring and then hunting he was well suited to much of the basics of service. Learning to shoot properly proved more difficult than Gibson had expected, but once he got over the threshold he found things rather simple. Shooting had once been complicated and required the consideration of a number of factors, in time, however, he learned to take in his surroundings and adjust for them. The complicated became simple, second nature even. His prowess led him to become a Ranger, from there there was no looking back.
These last few years as a Ranger had been rather eventful. Ranger Gibson did his part in holding the Hoover Dam, though only just barely, against the Legion, and in that battle made his reputation. His performance throughout the battle was admirable, and for once was noticed by his superiors. Sharp, consistent shooting and his ability to lead the troopers he worked alongside saw Ranger Gibson his way out of simple guard duty when the battle was won. Rather than simply being posted out somewhere to look to the East and wait for the war to begin again; he was sent into the desert to win hearts and minds and perhaps shoot some people in the face.
Personality:
Ranger Gibson is rather friendly but also rather simple. He is not particularly tactful, tending instead toward honesty and more often than not bluntness. He expects a lot from himself, from his fellow Rangers, from the troopers he works alongside, and from his superiors. He is often disappointed when others, and on occasion he himself, fail to meet his rather high standards. It should be no surprise that the these tendencies add up to a rather reclusive nature.
