Postsplosion!Ok, so, I'll get to work on my character...I might have him done tonight, but, if not, I'll definately have him done by around this time next afternoon.GENERAL BACKGROUNDWhen the Great War ended, Sgt. Amund "Red" Haarland was honorably discharged from the United States Marine Corps, with a few minor medals to show for his service. After the war, he worked in the family hardware store in Fargo, where his grandfather, 'Old Amund', had settled the Haarland clan after their journey from Sweden fifty years before, but--even though he'd never been an adventurous man before the war--the monotony of selling nails grated on him.When the depression hit, Red left Haarland Tools in the capable hands of his younger brother and sister and headed west, hoping to find work as a lumberjack in Oregon, and mail anything he made back home. Jobs just weren't there to be had, though, so he continued up the coast doing odd jobs while he looked for something more permanent. After a year and a half, he found himself pouring concrete in Anchorage for lunch and a few dollars a day.It was in that bleak northern port that he finally decided to kiss North America goodbye, and took a russian freighter east, to begin a new life. (The rest is more or less up to the GM until I get some more info about where the group is starting)APPEARANCE/PERSONALITY/Other6'4" tall, clean-shaven with fairly short fiery-red hair, high cheekbones and steel-grey eyes. Generally terse, but more by his Swedish heritage and upbringing than shyness or brooding. Born in 1899, joined the marines shortly after graduating high school in 1917.GENERAL SKILLSETHe's gonna be a crack-shot with a bolt-action rifle, and be one tough bastard. As a sergeant, he led by example, and a keen tactical mind.</blockquote>
