Other Information:
He is capable of basic repairs on engines and items. Growing up in Georgia with 10 acres owned by his family gave him space to play on a bigger level. He is a big fan of automotive performance. He grew up turning wrenches in his father's garage fixing vehicles of every sort while being able to keep the old, unneeded parts which he used to build junky cars to play with at home. As he aged his cars kept getting better until he eventually found himself racing his local moonshiner buddies. After the attack on Pearl Harbor he was drafted into the army in the first round of draft cards. He was proficient in martial combat, marksmanship, and could work in a way that was independent of the other soldiers while still remaining cooperative. He was assigned to the 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment where he played a key role in Operation Torch. Several troops, including himself, were blown off course and had to hold out in a small cluster of buildings for the entire battle. The actions of the small group caused heavy casualties to passing enemies as they stayed very mobile, out of clear sight, and kept firing until they either ran out of ammo or died when the Axis artillery was finally turned on them. He was the sole survivor of an Axis artillery bombardment on their location but was now stuck behind enemies. He began sabotaging what he could while remaining hidden while he awaited the arrival of Allied forces. 72 hrs after he jumped from the plane he was rescued by the 9th infantry division who reported several enemy troop transports and tanks catching fire upon starting the engine. After several other acts of valor Operation Torch ended. He was then reassigned to a training center to receive an accelerated course on Special Operations and reconnaissance before being assigned to the 1st Special Operations Reconnaissance Team.

We have 2 or 3 sergeants if I counted correctly and 3 or 4 corporals. I had been thinking we had more.

I'm not even sure my character is even technically a corporal because the soviet ranks aren't compared and it's confusing.

- Yvy speaks French, English, a little bit of Italian and can understand some basic Arabic.
The number of NCOs we have isn't too unusual, considering it's a special outfit that lacks formal fireteams (that would require more ranks). Most of our corporals probably could be PFCs anyway, as most of them have just about zero leadership experience.
(Jane's really a PFC anyway; she's only a corporal because of a battlefield promotion.)

Name: Ilsa Kastigar
Age: 34
Rank: Private first class
Description:
With a narrow, aristocratic face only enhanced by her ears, her slim frame and tall height, she's imposing to look at. She has narrow eyebrows, wide almond eyes with black curly hair any full lips. Her bust is modest, considering the side effects of the NECO program she must have been nearly flat-chested before it. Her hips are wide and her long legs usually stand elegantly.
She tries to keep herself impeccably maintained, and often appears aloof or even a little judgmental with her gaze at times.
Weapons
-Primary: PIAT
-Secondary: Thompson SMG
-Backup: M1911 Pistol
-Extra: PIAT ammo tubes with six extra rounds.
Other Information:
Likes: Drinking, flirting, dancing
Dislikes: Soviets, cold water, the uncouth.
Goal: Save her beloved Russia without supporting the evil Soviet rule.

Name: Morgan Page
Age: 22
Rank: Private First Class
Description:
A random paratrooper who happened to land in the wrong LZ in over his head. Morgan seems like a typical white East Coast American. Pale skin, dark hair and eyebrows. He wears a US army parachutist uniform with a jacket. Not a natural fighter like the rest of the group, he tends to take a more laid posture.
5'9" in height, lean, his rifle and uniform almost look too big for him sometimes. Whenever he's not being shot at or in a warzone he wears an easy smile and expressive eyes.
Weapons
-Primary: M1 Garand
-Secondary: M1991 Pistol
-Backup: Foul Language
-Extra: 3x Mk2 Grenade
Other Information:
Likes: Coffee, alcohol.
Dislikes: Being shot at, dead bodies, boats.
Goal: "'Join da army' they said, 'It'll be fun!' they said."
