Nationality: American
Age: 20
Height: 5' 11"
Weight: 186
Hair Color: Dirty blond
Eye Color: Storm blue
Birthday: July 4th
Eric with shorter hair
Appearance:
Head: While Eric uses to keep his hair in a short military style, He has started to let it grow long enough so it can cover the scar on the left side of his face. His facial features are average by all accounts and it is often that he is overlooked in a crowd even by those that know him. However, there are two distinguishing features he has. One is a scar that runs from above his right eyebrow to the middle of his left cheek. The others are his eyes which hold an intensity that can be hard to forget.
Torso: First thing people would notice is the numerous scars that mar Eric’s body. There are numerous cuts, both shallow and deep along with several old gunshot wounds. The largest scar however is the one on his back. It’s a deep burn scar that covers the entirety of his back with numerous gashes from where jagged sharp metal tore through the burned flesh. If a person is able to look past these scars, they’d notice that Eric’s torso has a muscular and toned look. His body isn’t overtly large, built more for speed and flexibility.
Arms: Like his torso, his arms are riddled with scars. However there are only the marks of blades rather than bullets or burns. Most of the scars are shallow, but there are deeper ones and some that even mark where a blade had passed completely through the arm. Like his torso, his arms have a muscular tone, but are conditioned more for speed and flexibility.
Legs: When compared the rest of his body, Eric’s legs have relatively few scars on them. There are a few shallow once where they had been cut, but other then that they are relatively scar free. Flexible and toned are the best ways to describe them for all the running Eric does for track and training.
Clothing: Eric always wears pants and long sleeve shirts no matter how hot the weather is. His pants are usually either jeans or khakis and fairly nice while Eric usually favored button downed long sleeved shirts open over a short sleeved tee for his top. In colder weather He will wear a jacket over this ensemble. For footwear Eric usually favors the boots that had been given to him by Scith before he left. Underneath the pants are usually the Bone shin guards he had gotten after the defeat of Vlad. Recently he also acquired a piece of Carbon Nanotube armor that covers his torso and arms that he wears underneath his clothing
Personality: Once the boy always had a smile on his face, now Eric is letting a little more of his emotions show through. Loyal to his friends and unforgiving when made an enemy, Eric doesn’t let the world know the weight he feels that is on his shoulders. He still plays his cards close to his chest, but for those that win his trust he lets in just a little. However if you were to compare his emotions to a castle, the people he has let in have only gotten past the outer gate. There is still the inner wall and finally the keep left before they fully see what lies behind the young man’s mind. Naturally suspicious, the boy avoids taking things at face value. He tries to determine for himself the extent of things, though he pays careful attention to all that is said.
Fighting Style: Began as Military Martial Arts and Kick Boxing.
Military Martial Arts: Often seen as simple and unmentionable Military Martial Arts concentrate on one thing, what works in a genuine life and death struggle. Like Jeet Kune Do, Military Martial Arts tend to be a constantly evolving thing. The main groups that Eric had had a chance to study were the Marine Corp LINE and MCMAP techniques and a brief introduction the Israel’s Krav Maga. Not only do these teachings include unarmed strikes and holds, but the use of weapons like the knife, a rifle with bayonet, and improvised weapons along with firearm techniques.
Kick Boxing: Where flexibility of technique came from his military martial arts training, the development of power behind his blows and the ability to take a hit came from kick boxing. While the method he studies is now closer to Muay Thai rather than traditional kick boxing, the root of his training was limited to the American version of the art. It taught him how to deal with hit and continue to deal them out. He was often instructed in the bare knuckle version of this sport which also introduced him initially to the underground fighting arena.
It’s important to remember though that Eric constantly adapts to the situation he is put in and changes his style to allow for what works while storing away what doesn’t. If he sees a technique from Capoeira and later sees a situation where he could use that technique he will employ it.
Strengths: Eric had been trained in the best use of his speed, flexibility, and stealth. When he strikes it is quick, subtle and precise using the minimum amount of movement necessary. When he wishes to move silently it is almost the same as when he moves naturally the training being so ingrained into his being
Eric also has a good understanding of the nature of how the human body works and weak points in it. He understands where the critical points of the body are and how to best cripple or heal them. This study of anatomy also gives him a better understanding of his own limits and points of failure.
Eric has an eidetic memory, better known as photographic memory. Things he sees once he can later recall in great detail. It is good enough that he can recite the page of a book he read a month ago from memory alone.
Weaknesses: The numerous, cuts, beatings, broken bones have left Eric with a deadened sense of touch over most of his body. Light touches, pin pricks, small nicks are likely to go unnoticed. In the case of his back, larger abrasions and cuts can be left due to the massive amount of scaring and he still won’t notice.
Despite the fact that he has improved his social skills considerably and is a little more open then he once was, Eric is still not very much a people person. His natural tendency is to blend in with the crowd and listen. He is not open about himself with very many people and has a tendency to be uncomfortable when people try to pry
Likes: Running, Training, Fighting, Cooking, Reading, Drawing, and Rain.
Dislikes: Kidnappings, Multiple Personalities, Rape, Platypuses, Marriage Counseling and Being Shot.
History: Eric was born into a military family. His father was an officer in the Marine Corps and he constantly had to move from place to place. His mother had come from a well to do family that didn’t care much for the military or Eric’s father in particular. His mother’s marriage to his father had estranged her from her family. Eric’s grandparents on his father side had already died in a car accident and his father was an only child. So for a long time the three of them had been on their own.
The first seven years of the boy’s life were probably his happiest. Despite the fact that his father was constantly being sent away and the fact that they had to move every few years things were fine. He was young and each move was an adventure. Most of his friends were in military families as well, so they all were use to having to leave after a while. All of that changed after his seventh birthday and his mother died.
After that he stopped hanging around with kids his age and started helping around the house more. He learned about cooking, cleaning, and basically the skills he would need when he was older and out on his own. When it was conceivable, Eric’s father brought him into work and from there he learned about the inner workings of the military.
His favorite thing to do while with his father on base was to watch the people train and to participate when they would let him. At age nine he found a passion for martial arts and hand to hand combat in general. As he grew older, he would constantly find the Hand to Hand Instructor for where his father was stationed and get lessons. Some of these instructors were more brutal than others, but the boy loved every minute of it. During this period, Eric was drafted into an experiment that the military had been running. His father never knew about it, but Eric had ended up working for the military in covert ops where it would be easier to infiltrate a child rather than an adult. The people in charge made sure Eric’s father was either deployed or on an extended trip where he couldn’t take his son before doing such things. And the boy’s father was use to his son having cuts and bruises.
If life had continued this way Eric most likely would have never gotten to 552 as he would have stayed with his father through the thick and thin of it. However this was not to be. It was at his father's last station guarding the embassy in Israel that Eric’s life changed dramatically from what it was. While he was visiting, someone detonated a car bomb. His father was killed and he was seriously hurt. After three months in the hospital and several more at home he was finally able to start school again. During this time he was heavily counseled. He found that if he stayed cheerful then he was left alone. As a result, the more stressful the situation becomes the more cheerful he became. He was sent back to the states and those in charge enrolled him in 552. After all, what better training ground was there for urban survival then the most violent school in the state?
Notice: Eric’s eyes have an intensity about them and a age of one much older than a person of 19 should have. They seem to be showing much while at the same time giving nothing away.
=================================================
(Joined 552 when it was just 75 posts to become a junior so explained this by saying he was a transfer student.)
Transferring into 552 at the age of seventeen, Eric managed to get himself into trouble almost right away. He meet a student by the name of Chrynos within his first week of attending classes and they managed to get themselves into trouble with a gang that decided that they were going to try and make the school their turf. The trouble that these two had managed to dive into had made them fast friends.
A lot happened during the first full year of high school. The gang war he was involved in intensified after the first few initial scuffles. The gang kidnapped Chrynos, forcing Eric and Davis to infiltrate their warehouse where his friend was being kept. While in there they managed to rescue Chrynos and they discovered that the gang was dealing in drugs as they found a large amount of coke there. After the rescue Eric and Chrynos met Tenchi on the roof of the school and he decided to join the fight against the drug dealing gang. The three went out and had their first encounter with the leadership of the gang that was targeting them for elimination. It was also the first time that Eric and the others encountered the man responsible for all the troubles that they had been going through recently. It was around this time that Eric and his friends found out that a combat drug called Reaper was being used by the gang. Eric revealed to his friends that he had past experience with the combat drug and was one of the first few human test subjects.
It was about this time that the First War was starting up. Initially neutral because he had friends on both sides, Eric joined the defenders after Auroth almost killed Tenchi.
During the distraction of the first school war was over he found out that Chrynos had been kidnapped again. This time the gang that had him started dosing his friend Reaper. Eric heard the news that Chrynos had killed Tenchi and he saw red. He went out to kill his friend and only the sudden return of Tenchi who had faked his death stopped the fight from being a death match. Deciding with his friends to end this once and for all, Eric and several others assaulted the gang’s main base of operation where the gang leader was killed and his operation destroyed.
By now the First War was coming to a close and the final battle was approaching. When the two sides finally crossed paths Eric ended up facing Auroth in the parking lot outside the school. Eric won, even if it was just barely. However the damage to the two’s friendship had been done and it would be about a year before they reconciled.
All in all this was a quiet year. There were fights and a lot of threats to start another war. However at the time Eric was away more often then not doing work for his handlers. He joined Tenchi’s newly formed Knights and when he heard about Equilibrium joined them as well to give the Knights a voice in the politics between gangs. While there were a few skirmishes between RoB and Collosai it was mainly quiet during the times when he was at school. He joined the track team and generally just tried to look out for his friends as he finished the last year of high school.
The most memorable fight he was in was when Vlad attacked the school with the new Wind Dragon. He fought with Vlad because he wanted to find out what connection he had with the Reaper drug. Unfortunately, Vlad was killed in the battle so the Senior’s questions were to go unanswered.
Also in this time Equilibrium came under Eric’s control after the second leader Tiel left the position. It wasn’t a job he particularly wanted, but took because a friend needed his help. However Equilibrium languished under the general peace in the school and eventually it was decided that it had served it’s purpose. RoB was gone and Collosai was a shell of it’s former self. Equilibrium died a quiet death with barely a whisper.
The peace didn’t last for Eric though; a ghost from his past had shown up. The only name Eric used for him was Cerberus and when the final battle happened it was away from the school. When it was over Cerberus was dead and Eric had three new scars, one on his face, another right next to his heart, and the third unable to be seen by the naked eye. He has never spoken of what happened then, but the events had brought troubling thoughts into his mind
As he started his freshman year of college, Eric found himself drifting further and further from the politics of the school. He cared less about who “ruled” the school and more about how his friends were getting along. Also his handlers had started making him more active in his role as a government assassin, right up to the point where someone in his own side put a bullet in his back under the order of Prometheus. After that Eric disappeared for a while into the land of the dead, surfacing only when he finally got a chance to strike back at the one who ordered his death. After his successful strike at Prometheus he was run down by Gabriel Ratchet’s car, one of the other Dogs of War. He was sent to the hospital where he had a brief encounter with Perdition and two other members of the Dogs of War while his friends were visiting.
While he was still recovering from Gabriel hitting him with his car 552 was attacked again in an incident called ‘Bomberman’. It was the first incident of heavily armed men attacking the school and despite the mass introduction of heavy weapons, military grade equipment, and a much deadlier form of violence the students still survived and defeated the attackers. It was during this incident that Eric picked up a high tech Carbon Nanotube armored shirt.
However things were picking up in the information and assassination business and the year was still young at this point.

History at 552
Freshman and Sophomore years?
(Joined 552 when it was just 75 posts to become a junior so explained this by saying he was a transfer student.)

He meet a student by the name of Chrynos within his first week of attending classes and they managed to get themselves into trouble with a gang that decided that they were going to try and make the school their turf. The trouble that these two had managed to dive into had made them fast friends.
