Name: Dieter Sulzer


Race: Human


Class: Handgunner


Personality: Dieter is rather young and eager. Raised with a strong faith in Sigmar and the Empire, he is loyal and ready for action, perhaps to a fault.


Bio: Dieter was born in a rather unremarkable town of the Empire. Raised in a peasant family, he was indoctrinated in the beliefs of the Empire, and quickly became a devout supporter of Sigmar. However, priesthood or farming simply wasn't his call. At the age of 18, he left home to sign up for the Empire's army. As part of the large pool of new recruits, he was sent to nearby Averland to fend off the Greenskins.


Appearance (Picture, drawing, vivid description, NO ANIME):


Dieter stands at 5'9. He has short, brown hair and brown eyes. He is of average build, and wears the uniform of an Imperial state trooper, with a metal cuirass over his torso. Being a handgunner, he has a powder horn, bag of shot, and other important accessories for his role. Strapped to his back is a black-powder handgun. Sheathed lies a simple, self-purchased sword meant for self-defense at point blank.


Abilities/Powers/Strengths (NOT spells): Dieter is a relatively average human. He is drilled in the use of a black-powder handgun, and is skilled in its use.


Weaknesses: Dieter is a relatively poor close-range fighter. While he understands the basics of close-range combat, he lacks a shield or other protective item, with a mere metal cuirass and sword. The handgun takes a short while to reload, leaving him vulnerable in-between shots.


Weapons/Equipment (Pictures Appreciated):

Dieter's primary arm is an Empire handgun. A gunpowder-fired, single-shot, matchlock musket, the handgun is an effective ranged combat tool in massed numbers, primarily produced in Nuln. It is accurate to 50 yards, but beyond this its smooth-bore barrel and loosely-fit shot will stray significantly past where it was aimed. In a massed volley, it is good to 100 yards, as at least something will be hit by the volley of balls. The weapon slings heavy-caliber lead balls which are essentially guaranteed to kill unarmored human-sized targets, and are usually powerful enough (depending on the amount of gunpowder poured in) to bust through metal armor at close to medium range. The handgun, in skilled hands, can reload surprisingly quickly for a muzzle-loading arm; perhaps in just 15 seconds. His secondary weapon is a cheap metal shortsword; it can be used as a desperation weapon at close range, where the handgun may be caught reloading.

Yeah you did, I sort of took care of it, I'm still very new to this format and it isn't user friendly whatsoever. Get a realistic picture of your gun, a soldier holding a little plastic model doesn't make any sense.
 
That's actually one of the unpainted props from the WFB tabletop game; but yeah, I'll change it to something else.
