Katagiri Shō/HawkStar

Name: Katagiri Shō (片桐翔) / username is typically 'HawkStar' or 'HkS45'

Age: 22 (09/5/2003)

Gender: Male

Appearance: Sho, for the most part, looks the role of a young Japanese introvert- messy hair, glasses, and a slim frame. However, he inherits some traits from his American mother, such as green eyes, and a taller stature at 5"11.

Short Bio: Katagiri Sho is the son of a Japanese businessman and a former American Navy secretary. With his father on trips away from home most days, he spent lots of his time with his mother. Through this, she introduced him to many customs from the other side of the ocean, one being a military interest (she worked in the Navy base at Yokosuka, and Sho's uncle was a Navy SEAL). Thus, Sho grew up with appreciation for both Japanese and American ways of life.

Graduating college with a marketing degree, Sho now had to balance his favorite hobby, GBO, with a professional life. He found a quite effective middle-ground by working from home- making a living by selling products online. He spends his days mixing playing rounds with making calls and entering data.

Name: HawkStar (ホークスター in Japanese)

Gender: Male

Appearance: Definitely more athletic and rugged than its player, HawkStar is an imposing figure at 185cm and 80 kg. It bears some resemblance to its user, with messy hair and sharp, slate-blue/grey eyes. Typical color palette for clothes/armor is black and dark grey.

Level: 77

Skills:

• Assault Rifle Proficiency 1000
• Handgun Proficiency 1000
• SMG Proficiency 750
• First Aid 500
• Knife Proficiency 500
• Throwing 250
• Other 1000

Specs:

• Improved Reflexes x2
• Improved Speed
• Guts x2
• Fast Aim

Signature Weapon/Combat Style: Sho has a preference towards German weapons such as the H&K HK416 and HK45, which he typically uses in combat. However, his main strength lies in his strategic ability to take advantage of the situation. While planning, Sho draws influence from by-the-book tactics used by the US Armed Forces. When working in a team, he tends to plan beforehand, analyze, and give out orders, working with his comrades. Despite this analytical and strategic modus operandi, he does enjoy taking risky and dangerous attempts, often failing but capitalizing on every success.

Sho held his fist up, signalling to hold. As the fireteam leader, it was his responsibility to lead the way and give out orders. The mission was simple- infiltrate the cell, secure the package, and exit safely. Intel gave warning of about 20 gruntbots, and 2 minor bosses. The grunts were standard-issue: mid-level, AK-47-wielding baddies. Nothing out of the ordinary, at least in contrast to the minor bosses. They could have anything up their sleeve, from a combat shotgun to a Gauss rifle. Fortunately for Sho and his crew, killing these minor bosses allowed them to take the drops: the harder the fight, the greater the reward. As a result, the team was ready for anything: active members were expected to effectively use 2 primaries and 2 secondaries. To Sho, that meant an HK416 assault rifle, a UMP submachine gun, an HK45 pistol, and his personal favorite: an old-school Tantō dagger.

Making a quick peek into the entrance, Sho spotted two grunts making their rounds, in the standard 2-man patrol. If his timing was right, the next patrol would cross his line of sight in exactly 30 seconds. Patient enough to wait, he quietly relayed this information on to the 3 others on the mission, asking them to confirm their status. Sho, the fireteam leader, went by the handle HawkStar, with a more masculine appearance. On this indoors and close-quarters mission, he brought his UMP45 subgun and HK45 pistol with him- and his dagger, in case things got juicy.

Sho took one more glance, paused, then flicked his finger forward at hip height, signalling to go. Capricorn, the soldier behind him and the designated point man, turned the corner. The patrol grunts turned their head, and raised their AKs. For all Sho and Capricorn cared, they were like deer caught in headlights. At the same, practiced moment, they both fired at their respective men. Sho's UMP let its signature tat-tat-tat loose, ripping into the grunt on the right and knocking him down within two seconds. Simultaneously, Capricorn fired his Mossberg 590 shotgun, its fire briefly illuminating the dark room before striking the grunt on the left, sending him crumpling into the wall. Sure, the other enemies had been alerted to their presence, but Sho's team would not hold back.

@Sola For a second, I expected the gun to shoot out really tiny Mausers that shot even tinier bullets.

Alright, if anyone's still considering it I thought of a fireteam organization. Like @Sola pointed out on the interest check, there could be a sniper/spotter dynamic; however, in a more flexible environment, there could be a close-range/mid-range/long-range setup. For instance, a 'scout' with a shotgun/SMG, 'leader'/'support' with an assault rifle/LMG, and a 'sniper' with either a composite bow or blowgun a long-range rifle. This could in theory allow for both effective overwatch cover and leapfrogging.

Gun Burst Online [Closed]

Seems we have a mix of speedy scouts or characters dedicated to keeping people pinned down. Maybe I could hook up with someone, like Hachi was suggesting, and form something like a TACP or a regular old sniper/spotter team.

@Sola

Hmm, yeah. From a practical perspective, do you mean something like leapfrogging, or fixed-position picking off?
