Charlie Planewalker from Digital Decay

Name: Charlie Planewalker

Age: 20

Gender: Male

Previous Occupation: Major; Expeditionary Legion - Expantion Force

Home Planet: The Hollow

Appearance:
Personality: Charlie is a cold man, shrouded in mystery and menacingly level-headed. In the face of death he is calm and cunning. Other soldiers have said he could convince the Reaper it wasn't his time. Charlie is generally quiet and very distant. The only close friend he has is Claire, and that's because he is perhaps the only person capable of telling the General it's time to stop throwing a fit and start fighting a war. Everything Charlie does is based on logic and strategy. He's a very intellectual person and seems to know a great deal about the Dwellers.

Strengths: Charlie is an excellent strategist. If you were to give him 15 soldiers and tell him to win a war with them, he'd figure it out. He is very skilled in using his surroundings as a weapon, which is a very important skill in this war. In addition, Charlie is a master with explosives. He can craft a bomb out of damn near anything. Bombs and poison. Poison which he has become skilled with due to his extensive study of The Hollow.

Weaknesses: Charlie, despite his ability to strategically topple empires, is socially oblivious. He seems to lack all emotion and although this may seem like a strength at first, it has gotten him into more than one deadly situation. He seems to have become detached from the world, a cold and cruel man that is almost no longer human. And although he can blow up damn near anything, close combat is not his strong suit and if you were to charge him with a sword he would take a whole hella lot more damage than is even remotely safe to sustain before he got around to killing you. Pistols and energy weapons are the only gun-type weaponry he can use effectively, limiting his weapon choices immensely.

Main Weapons: Grenades/Land mines are his primary weapon as he doesn't generally launch tiny attacks. No, Charlie causes mass destruction and then lies in wait for the next ambush. For medium-range to close combat, Charlie uses an energy rifle which he refers to as a "Hellfire Rifle". This rifle is designed to produce a high heat energy beam that can reach temperatures of 11,000*F.

Main Defenses: Charlie is ALWAYS wearing a full-body armor suit and helmet. He never takes them off. Ever. This suit is meant to withstand explosions and high heat specifically. But rather than being combat-only, it is also his main life support. Due to injuries sustained in the past, this suit is perhaps the only thing keeping Charlie alive. The suit provides oxygen, purified water, a built in IV for nutritional purposes, and a wiring system that is intertwined with his veins which allows his body to maintain a well-rested state without him having to sleep.

Current City: The Endless
Current Occupation: Major

Family: They were an inconvenience to Charlie. He disposed of them.

Dweller Connections: None, other than a Salavere informant whom he pays good resources to keep.

History: Charlie never talks about his past. He realized at a very early age (14) that he had a natural talent for destroying things and he fed that talent tirelessly. His family however did not share his opinion on his talent being "incredibly helpful" and attempted to intervene. His family suffered a horrible "accident" involving several exploding light fixtures and severe chemical burns. His family is dead. As soon as he was able he joined the army where he knew his skill would be recognized and rewarded. Indeed it was. Charlie progressed through the ranks rapidly, befriending the General Claire Azikar early on. He saw very clearly that Claire had the power to put his own plans into motion, and this made Claire and invaluable resource. However one day during a training session, Claire had gone into a furious fit of rage and through a long and complicated series of events set off an entire room full of experimental explosives that Charlie had been working on. Charlie was, of course, in the room at the time and suffered wounds so severe that he was kept alive only through sheer willpower. Claire had a special suit of armor made for Charlie that kept him alive and still keeps him alive today. Life support that will make Charlie immortal unless the power is cut completely and permenantly. Charlie didn't seem at all bitter about this...He understood the reason for Claire's fit, saw it as a completely justifiable response, and saw it as being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Besides, he's alive right now, isn't he?

Extra: Also, napalm.
