Name: Paul Howard Age: 46 Occupation: Former ISSP officer Description: Large, he stands over six feet tall and his shoulders are so wide that he has to turn sideways to fit through most doors. He has brown hair with a short buzz hair cut. His eyes are dark blue and always seem to be staring into space. He has toned muscles of a wrestler and his face is lightly tanned from working outside. Attached to his brown leather belt he always has his fully automatic dual barrel revolver. But his most interesting physical characteristic is his robotic right arm. He uses the arm quite well and it does not seem to hinder him in any way. His cloths usually consist of a dark colored shirt and a dark colored pair of pants. He is always wearing his faded ISSP jacket. Characteristics: He doesn’t carry on conversations well, sometimes pausing before speaking because he doesn’t know what to say. However most of the time he responds normally unless the person has said something confusing. When someone insults him he may not realize he’s been insulted and if he does it may take him minutes, hours, or even days before he had a good comeback. Something else about him is he seems to enjoy all the destruction he can cause. Of course he always carried the heavy machine gun and the explosives. He enjoys people who don’t talk a lot and focuses on the mission at hand His lack of communication and thinking skills are made up for by his ability to kill and fight like no other. He never runs away from a fight (unless ordered to retreat of course) and enjoys a challenge. He sometimes will challenge a person to a wrestling match just to see how would win. History: As stated he worked for the ISSP and actually was a very successful officer. This is surprising considering he is not very smart and is slow to work out complicated problems. The reason for his success is his ability to follow orders with out question he just might obey them in an unexpected way. This leads to the story of how he lost his arm. When he first went into the field his commander told him that they needed to a group of 10 fugitives out of a small restaurant. After thinking for about five minutes, while staring into the sky, he grabbed the demo pack and ran towards the building. At first the fugitives laughed and aimed their guns, then when they saw that Paul had armed the bomb, they suddenly had a new respect for him. They all scrambled out of the building right into the waiting arms of ISSP officers. Suddenly there was a huge explosion engulfing the whole building. Paul was thrown into the air landing in front of his commander. Beaten and bruised he smiled then passed out. Paul was born on Mars where he grew up under the watchful eye of his father Commander Ron Howard. Paul comes from a legacy of ISSP heroes. Many of his relatives have been successful officers or have died trying, so his family has made quite a bit of money. After completing over 100 missions, most being successful, he was forced to retire from the ISSP because he had stopped ranking up due to his lack of intelligence. He sat around for a while until he decided that sitting wasn’t for him. At first he just went around to bad parts of Mars fighting petty criminals, but then he heard about space cowboys and decided that it sounded exciting. Using his family’s money Paul built a ship The Epsilon and set out on his adventure to find adventure. |

Anyway, there's nothing really wrong with it. The story about the arm is kind of contrived and almost cartoon-ish (how did he only lose one arm if he was thrown through the air by the explosion?) but nothing I care to argue about. One thing I just want to make sure you know is that "space cowboys" are bounty hunters. The government reinstated the bounty system as an attempt to curb crime. That's it, approved. - The Administration PS: Just because I had some problems with your other character doesn't mean you can't fix things up so that he can be approved.... |

As for my other character I was kind of lazy and decided Harry Potter stuff isnt that exciting, but I might fix it up later.
Thanks Oh yeah what episode does everyone think my character will be introduced in. I want to know when I get to try to role play. |
