.history

family: mother and father still in california,
brother still in california, three years older
pets: no time for any, would like a dog
wealth: upper middle class, mainly because he is never actually spending money
hometown: Fullerton CA
history: Adrian grew up in Yonkers NY, very close to ground zero. He was told that if the initial impact was one foot closer towards Yonkers, that Adrian would be a mutant too.

He showed promise in terms of school work. But there were two things he excelled in, marksmanship and athletics. Adrian got his first BB gun when he was only 10 years old. His parents quickly found out that he was a natural shooter. But they were a bit more concerned with his ability to perform in sports.

In high school Adrian quickly learned that he didn't have a head for numbers, he flunked geometry repeatedly in high school, Adrian also found out that he could not get out of fights using smooth talk, so he learned to use his fists. Often getting in the middle of fist fights at school, He often was in the principal's office, with cuts on his knuckles and a bloody nose, or a black eye, the person across from him almost always had worse injuries.

Adrian got into football, it was an anger counselor that told him that he needed a positive way of releasing frustration. He was a linebacker and that was probably the only thing that was every going to get him into college. Adrian was offered several scholarships to half a dozen major universities due to his football career but to the shock of his parents and his teachers he instead joined in the marines. His officers quickly saw his potential and offered him a contract in the special operations.

Adrian is now withing the 10th infantry, "Civil Protection" is it's unofficial name. The 10th infantry have orders only to capture higher priority mutants, mainly gang leaders, killers, those that pose a major threat to anyone around them. Adrian is glad that he is in this unit, mainly because he is fighting against the "bad guys" and is considered the lesser evil amongst the mutants. They often search the building for any inhabitants, take recordings of any inhabitants, and check for any wanted mutants then leave. The 10th infantry has even gained limited trust amongst some mutants, but this never lasts long due to them moving. The 10th infantry is looked down upon yet at the same time given respected, due to they having arguably one of the crappiest jobs in the marines, yet at the same time almost all of them are hardened veterans due to them being able to survive.

Adrian hates the anti mutant movement spreading like wildfire through America, he is often discriminated against for simply saying, "they're still human." He tries to keep to that philosophy when on a mission.

rp sample: Adrian leaned over to cough, he hated it when the wind picked up all the dust from the crumbling buildings around him. A voice rang out to his left, "You alright?" Adrian looked over to see one of his squad mates. He nodded and his squad mate just patted him on the back. Adrian just lowered his goggles, it was about 12:30 in what was used to be NewYork. All he could see was rundown, abandoned shops and stores in the suburban zone. Adrian always got creeped out by the rows of abandoned cars, just lining the streets, they always reminded him of one of those zombie movies. All they needed was the fog and the tense music and he would fit right in. But Adrian had long ago realized that this wasn't a movie, there wasn't a love interest, there wasn't a badguy looking to end the world. Adrian knew that if this was some kind of movie, he would be the badguy, or at least after seeing how the mutants react to the sight of him. They were always scared, they either tried to fight or just tried to run. After all he was invading what was they're homes, they're families, they're lives. At least he wasn't killing all of them on sight, he still couldn't see how those seekers sleep at night.

Adrian snapped out of his thoughts as the sergeant, held his hand up signaling for the squad to stop. His sergeant looked back and spoke in a low hush, "Squad stack up." they had arrived at the target building, apparently the UAV drones had spotted movement in this building and they were sent in. All they needed to do was the check all the inhabitants for any of the wanted targets. He muttered in his mike, "Hawes" the voice recondition system brought Hawe's guncam's view into his HUD, He wanted to make sure that he knew what would meet him in the building before he went inside. He actually thought that the LandWarrior mark II system made his job easier. It would be impossible to clear building after building without it. If there was one thing that he had to be left with in teh mutant zone, the first thing would be his XM8 assault rifle, second would be his land warrior system. He sergeant turned back to the squad, "Gel rounds, I want any hostiles alive." Adrian switched out the clips on his assault rifle, he always thought the round blue tips of the non lethal gel rounds looked silly, but then again he had felt the impact they caused in training, he knew what he was doing to others when he pulled the trigger.

The sergeant tried to turn the nob of the door, it was locked. He just looked op towards the second floor of the building and yelled out, "CIVIL PROTECTION, OPEN UP" Adrian could hear muffled screams and yells. The sergeant just pulled out his pistol and shot the lock off the door, "So much for seeming non hostile" Adrian thought to himself as the squad entered the building.

Everything was very dim, there wasn't many lights that hadn't burned out, the squad flicked on the flashlights on the ends of they're guns and proceeded through the main room, towards the stairs. The squad split off with precision that came from intense training and searched the building room by room. Adrian listened for a moment before he opened the door to the next room, he thought he could hear what sounded like crying. He opened the door slowly, keeping his rifle braced in one hand. It took a second for his eyes to adjust to the darkness but he could see a girl huddled in the corner, she couldn't have been older than 16. Adrian just lowered his rifle and spoke in a soft tone, making sure not to scare the girl, he knew that some of these mutant's bodies were weapons, "Hey... hey don't be scared, I'm not a seeker..." the girl cut him off, she was crying still, "GO AWAY!" she raised her hand and a bright blue flame arose from it. She was a pyrokenetic, Adrian backed off a bit, he had plenty of training about how not to scare them too much, he didn't want to get burned. Adrian just spoke again, "No no, I'm not going to take you away, I'm just here to look for the bad people" he knew that the situation was delicate, he just wanted to calm her down. But she spoke again, her voice was trembling from fear, "Why do you have a gun then, you're lying, you're going to take me to the research base, I'm not going to be a lab rat." Adrian slowly unshouldered his rifle, the ball of fire grew. Adrian slowly reached down and took out the clip from his rifle, placed it back on his backpack, then shouldered the rifle again, "See... I don't want to hurt you." The girl just lowered her hand, the fireball died out and Adrian let out a sigh of relief.

He pulled out his flashlight and took slow steps towards the girl, "Let me see you're face, then I can go away" She slowly stood up, she was very thin, actually quite attractive given the circumstances she lived in. She slowly took a step toward Adrian and he used his hand to lift her chin, he muttered into his mike, "Caucasian, female." immediately pictures appeared in his HUD. They slowly scrolled by, each showing a Caucasian girl, they were on the wanted list for some crime of another. Adrian shined his flashlight in the girl's face, repeating the process from memory, first the left eye, then the other. Then down to her mouth, then hold it onto her nose while the picture's scroll by. He knew that his helmet cam was recording this, so it helped the files to keep the light on her face. Adrian started to talk to her, this wasn't standard, but he knew that it helped calm them down, his eyes still were concentrated on the scrolling pictures appearing on his HUD, "So, what's you're name" the girl was a bit hesitant, but she spoke "Alyssa, Alyssa wilson," Adrian just nodded, "Well Alyssa, my name's Adrian, where'd you live before here." She was hesitant again, but spoke, "Washington," Adrian just smiled, "Well nice to know that, I'm from California," by then the pictures stopped moving and Adrian let his gentle grip go. He lowered his flashlight, "See, that's not that bad is it?" the girl just stepped back and Adrian backed out of the room, closing the door. Just as he reinserted the clip into his weapon he heard the sergeant on the radio, "Building clear, squad regroup" Adrian was glad that he didn't have to shoot anyone, there still wasn't a drink strong enough to forget the faces of the lives he had taken...
