The Character
Character Name: Private Cooper
Character Journal: private_cooper

Canon: Dog Soldiers
Age: 29
Race: Human
Timeline: End of the movie, after he's managed to survive and his story has been turned into something for the tabloids to wank over.

Abilities/Powers: Nothing supernatural. He's a private in the British army, well trained with various guns and weaponry. He seems to have some melee fighting skills - he uses a sword at one point in canon and looks vaguely like he's used to it, and the soldiers all have standard-issue knives. He's fit, healthy and strong. He knows a bit of stuff about mechanics and machines. It seems he has some medical training, at least fundamental stuff, but it's never explicitly stated. He applied and nearly was accepted for special ops, (he didn't get in because he didn't kill a dog when ordered to) so he knows his stuff. He's smart, rational and quick to act.

Power Limitations: I don't think any are needed? Tell me if I'm wrong.

Inventory: I did army research, let me show you it! Temperate combat dress uniform (vest, t-shirt, shirt, thermal, Norgie, Gore-tex jacket, socks, underwear, combat trousers, Gore-tex trousers, beanie, gloves), army-issue leather boots, army-issue helmet, belt and personal load carrying equipment (PLCE) holding double ammunition pouches, water bottle and food rations, entrenching tool, flares, basic first-aid, basically everything he needs to survive for a couple days in the open. Lighter and a pack of tobacco and papers, a pack of cards, toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving kit, sewing kit, his dog-tags. Weapons: one Heckler & Koch MP5A2 submachine gun, one Browning Hi-Power pistol, one bayonet knife, aaand one silver letter-opener.

Personality: [be sure to add details; motivations, why are they angry, sad, and so on? May lead into the history.]

History: [Chances are that the mod reading this will have zero to no knowledge about this character, so you need to explain it as so. Define terms as they come and go. You may also add a link to a source of this character's history for further elaboration, but you may not post JUST a link. We need to know that you know this character well enough that there won't be a complete one-eighty on their personality or actions.]

First Person Sample: [We would prefer about 4-5 structured sentences, more or less, as if your character is communicating via a device - brackets, etc. Not the literal first person if you think about it, depending on your style.]
Write it out Sample: [We would prefer 2-5 prose paragraphs, 3rd Person POV. We realize the third person and first-person sample don't have much of a difference asides from brackets and quotation marks for speech and action in the way we describe it, but it's important.
You can link to examples or write them anew, your go.
SAMPLE LENGTH IS YOUR OWN CHOICE, BUT WE HAVE PREFERENCES. We're looking to see that you have a hold of your character here too.]

Other Notes: Found this game randomly somewhere and it looked pretty awesome, so I thought I'd give it a go. ALSO I'm studying ancient Greek, so now I get to show off: τό τροχαλεῖον Ἄτλας ἀνέχέι
