Name: Gunner Van Grave
Gender: Male
Age: 19
Birthday: 4th August
Sexuality: straight
Special Characteristics:
His left eye is missing and he wears a pair of glasses (with the left lens replaced by a black piece of metal with a silver cross on it). He has multiple scars over his body.
Personality:
Gunner is essentially a caring and friendly person, but doesn’t show it all that often. Usually he keeps quiet and when he talks it’s usually short and concise; otherwise he merely gestures; a stoic character.
What comes shocking to most people is that he will not hesitate to kill, as long as the victim deserves it, his job requires him to or if it is the best option in a situation. There are only three exceptions:
1. The opponent is a child or woman
2. He finds out that he is being used/double crossed
3. If the victim is truly completely innocent.
On his time off he usually is seen spending time at orphanages and becomes something of a friendly father figure. Without his usual attire he looks like an average young man with a slight father/older brother complex; he’s still very silent, but has a friendly smile. On occasion he also helps out in shops (usually smithies) or at market stalls.
His overall morals are; to never harm a child or women (unless it is unavoidable), never harm the truly innocent and kill anyone who betrays him or the people close to him. Dishonesty and disloyalty are the two things that Gunner hates the most, having experienced both in the past with VERY bad endings.
However his usual friendly and caring personality changes when his “uniform” is on; he becomes dead serious and takes nothing lightly, each and every decision becomes cold and calculated. Though he usually isn’t try to avoid him in a bad mood or getting him into one; a guy that can carry around a two ton coffin like a back-pack should not be messed with.
Grave appreciates company, though he may not seem like it. He is just simply worried for other’s safety and thus tries not to attach himself too much.
Likes:
There aren’t many things Gunner likes, since he prefers to stay neutral. One of these few things is children. He enjoys spending time with them and it makes him feel at ease, without worry and at peace.
The second thing he likes is… Sweets; just can’t get enough of sweets and completely against his character. But if there are sweets he can be as tame as a puppy.
Thirdly are his guns and his case. He has had them for a long time and is pretty attached to them. Once someone tried to steal his case… ONCE. The robber couldn’t even lift the two ton case, but it still got Gunner to get pretty aggressive.
Dislikes:
Disloyalty and dishonesty are an absolute taboo in his book. After being betrayed and lied to by all sorts of people he dislikes people who carry these traits. Also he completely despises people who enjoy torturing, especially those who like to torture children and women.
There aren’t many things dear to him since he tries to keep himself distanced (for other’s sake), but if anything he holds dear is threatened, he will act without restraint.
Like everyone there is only a certain amount of annoyance one can take. If pushed far enough Gunner will point the gun at the individual(s) and look dead serious; he’s only bluffing though.
Motivations:
Gunner’s primary motivation is to keep the ones he cares about safe. The best way to do so is in his opinion to leave what he cares for alone. He distances himself, trying to stay objective when he needs to be. His reason to become stronger is so he can struggle on against life and to protect what he cares for if he must. Other than that he merely exists trying to find his path; not knowing if he is good or evil. He tries to find companion that he can rely on not only in loyalty but also in strength, so he needn't worry too much.
Fears:
This is a man without many fears. The main fear being that the things he cares for are attacked, he is afraid that he won’t be able to protect them (either because he is too late or too weak). Death does not scare him in the slightest.
Gunner has two phobias: 1. commitment 2. spiders (shoots them whenever he sees them)
