​

Name: William Alan Hendrix


Appearance: At 6'3" and 215 pounds, Hendrix sports a broad-shouldered and athletic figure. His skin is lightly-tanned, while his eyes are a shade of grayish-blue. Will keeps his dark brown hair close-cropped and his face-clean shaven in accordance with military regulations. A prominent scar is visible just above his left eye. A tattoo depicting the crest of the 75th Ranger Regiment is visible on his left bicep.


Rank: Staff Sergeant


Nationality: American


Specialty: Recce/Sniper Operations


Position: TBD.


Bio: William was born in Atlanta, Georgia in 1992 and was given up for adoption by his teenage mother soon after. Will was taken into the care of the state, bouncing around between multiple foster homes until he was adopted by the Hendrix family at eight years old. He assimilated well into his new family, doing well academically in addition to participating in a local Boy Scouts troop. His adoptive father, an Army veteran, taught Will and his brother the value of self-sufficiency; camping, hunting, and hiking were common activities throughout William's youth.


After graduating high school, Hendrix enlisted with the United States Army in 2010 as an infantryman, volunteering for service with the 75th Ranger Regiment. After several months of training, he was assigned to the 1st Ranger Battalion where he served for the next decade in a variety of roles (including several years in the Battalion's Sniper and Recce Platoons), serving through multiple combat rotations in Afghanistan.


In 2018, Hendrix left the Regiment. He was reassigned to 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry, 2nd Stryker Brigade Combat Team. After a stint in the sniper section, Will was transferred to the battalion's mounted reconnaissance platoon, where he served as a Team Leader before being inducted into Task Force 183.

Rank: Lance Corporal


Nationality: American


Specialty: Ballistics Specialist/Squad Automatic Weapon Specialist


Position: Scout Sniper


Bio: Born in 2005 as the daughter of a proud United States Marine and sister of an even prouder Marine officer, Allison was destined to join the Corps herself. Growing up, she learned her mother was a victim of cancer, and so, she was raised partially by her aunt, to "have a little lady in her", she'd always say. However, she wasn't too interested in being a lady - throughout school, she held a devil dog demeanor in everything she did, and when the day came, she didn't have to look far to find a recruiter. She had her father sign her off at 17, and not long after her enlistment, she excelled in the SOI and was sent off to master her markmanship.


Coined as one of the youngest Scout Snipers with her skill, she was assigned to a number Expeditionary Units (her most recent being 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit), catching a number of stray firefights and ambushes in Afghanistan and Iraq until she was called into Task Force 183.

(Hmm tak perhaps you should change your character to a machine Gunner, a Sniper wouldn't have S.A.W training.)

 

[Safton]

Not necessarily. I'm assuming the gender integration thing has gone full-scale at some point between modern times and the year the RP has been set.


Scout Snipers in the USMC are by their nature veterans of the infantry; it's entirely possible that Allison may have spent time as an 0311 and was assigned a SAW before attending the Scout Sniper Basic Course later on in her career.

Thank you. I was gonna go back to work on her experiences in the battlefield to explain the SAW specialty. Is that cool? Also, is the gender thing alright? @Revan The Courier

The CO of the task force is going to be female. Your character will most likely be the last Sniper I accept.

:/ I'm not sure if I want to go through with this RP. Interest was it lower than expected.

Chance we can change the plot a little as to where it could fit the requirements of a smaller team?

The issue is the RP was meant to focus on the aspects of a military unit cut off from support for an extended period. A smaller unit just wouldn't work, sadly. My plans were originally for a task force of 50, it ended with 160 being a minimum.
