[Observer]

Appearance:

Name: Shaun Coster

Age: 24

Sex: Male

Personality: Shaun is a laid back guy who would rather sit at a bar and have a few drinks with friends then work. But that doesn’t mean he doesn’t take his job seriously. Shaun trains 10 hours a day for his job and is ready to be on the scene with his partner in a few minutes. Shaun can be quite stern and bullheaded if it comes straight down to it. But he is quick thinker under pressure and has good reaction time.

History: Shaun’s life isn’t what he thought it would have turned out to be. He moved multiple times during his childhood due to his dad’s job as a government agent. Shaun, at the young age, saw how much stress it put on the family and made a silent promise to never get into government service. He started out at the young age of 12 wanting to be a basketball player. But when he got to high school, he changed to a chemist. When Shaun got to college, he again changed careers to become a teacher. Quickly finding out that wasn’t what he wanted to do, he did the one thing that he thought was left to do; Shaun joined the military.

After years of service, his contract had ended. For a while Shaun had a hard time adjusting back to a normal life. He found a job as a bartender that paid a decent amount of money. Finding that it had little perks, he began searching for another career opportunities. He found himself looking into government work. And although he promised not to go into it, he soon was sitting at a desk with an interview. A few years later, he was teamed up with his partner as part of a response team known as Minute Men.

Equipment: He carries his sniper that includes: scope, range finder, and a flashlight. He also carries a hand gun that his strapped to his thigh and a few knives.

Name: Markus John Tinkermann


Appearance: Grizzled even in his youth, Markus sports an imposing bearlike physique; barrel chested, thick arms and a meticulously shaved head. Thick eyebrows rest above eyes which were once a dark, almost black brown but now age has lightened considerably. Teeth stained yellow with cigarettes are shown whenever he smiles; not a common occurance. His final defining feature is a crooked, broken-several-times boxer's nose.


Age: The events occur exactly upon his 50th birthday


Sex: Male


Personality: Quiet, but with a gruff commanding voice Markus lives and breathes his work. Although times have changed of late (due to an emerging alchohol problem that he is struggling to hide from his coworkers) he still sees the Minutemen as the only family he has.


History: Worked hard all his life for various police, military and PMC (Private Military Contractor aka Mercenary) companies, finally finding his place in the Minutemen roughly fifteen years ago. He served as a sniper with his partner, learning the qualities of patience and accuracy to their extremes before being given his own young soldier to instruct; the young Shaun Coster. Although their relationship is only a few years old, Markus has a healthy respect for the young man's ability only offset by his lack of interest in the job he considers family.


Equipment: An assault rifle (Tar 21) with a few modifications: longer barrel, an underbarrel all-purpose launcher capable of firing anything from grappling hooks to flashbangs to sensors. A six shooter that other Minutemen tease could probably take down a small airliner is holstered under his left armpit, loaded with high explosive rounds that detonate a second or two after impact.


Other than his weaponry, Markus is dressed in garb similar to that of a typical SWAT unit - black clothing under various pouches, a vest, and full-face helmet packed with the latest technology to advise his partner.
