So I've decided that I want some ACTION... I really need some notifications and what better way than to post my favourite characters on here?
The first of these is The Sniper. I call him that because his name is Calder Dullahan, a name shared by another character of mine in a different universe; the Sniper is the one named after the other one, though.
Here he is:

Here he is:
Name:
Calder Dullahan
Alias(es):
The Marksman; Trigger
Gender:
M
Age:
29
Sexuality:
Bisexual
Place of Birth: Section 5: The UK; Killerney, Ireland
Current Location: High-security prison, S5; Transferring to S2
Personality:
Calder is a lone wolf. He prefers to operate on his own so as to be as flexible as possible, both physically and in terms of plans, although he won't turn down an extra hand if he sees a good opportunity. He's not very trustworthy of strangers and is not quite friendly to them either; however, he does have one friend, and that is Leonard Hoddle, who currently seems to be the only living person whom Calder cares about.
Character Weaknesses:- Psychopath - Calder is always ready to kill in the most heinous of ways, and sometimes even enjoys it, and is quite willing to sacrifice anyone unimportant to his mission. However, more innocent animals get a special treatment in that matter, which may be another flaw on its own.
- Trigger-Happy - Calder's always ready to pull a trigger, and it doesn't matter where the muzzle is pointing.
- PTSD - Despite his other character traits, he is sometimes unable to kill upon reliving his traumatising memory on the battlefield. This also puts him in a state where he is quite vulnerable and much more similar to his older self.
Calder was born in the draups of Section 5, in what was formerly known as Killarney, Ireland. Surprisingly enough, he was pretty light-hearted for most of his life there; of course, he was in overall bad conditions (lack of food, water, and pollution among many others), but he was still pretty satisfied with his simple life. He had his lover by his side and that was enough to keep him satisfied, although his happiness didn't last for long, for at the age of fifteen a pair of sadistic Peacekeepers held him down and forced him to watch while they tortured and slowly killed his lover, just to see what would happen afterwards, and in his grief he descended into madness, becoming numb to the pain of others in general.
Seeking revenge, Calder stole some old guns from the Peacekeepers of Killarney and trained in secret, although he wasn't good with shooting irons. Years later, he faked his identity and age, sneaking into the Peacekeeper academy for a few months. There, he learned how to fight and became stronger and his senses more accurate. One day, however, he stole a couple of guns and murdered everyone in sight, then escaped back to Killarney, abandoning his false identity. He then had his guns modified and used them, along with the people of his draup, to break into Peacekeeper quarters and kill as many as possible. He afterwards rendered the two that murdered his lover immobile and had them bleed to death over the course of two days, making sure they stayed alive and fed, and that they felt every second of it, and this killed whatever humanity he used to show before.
As the draup of Killarney got retrieved by the Peacekeepers, he left it and became a mercenary in the shadows. It would then be many years later that, now properly experienced with guns and weaponry, he has become a successful killer in the bigger cities outside of Ireland, operating secretly in the shadows, killing significant people and insignificant people with no differentiation. Some people wanted their victims tortured to death, while others wanted them to die painlessly and mercifully. He would accomplish either as desired.
In his time in the bigger cities, Calder, has gotten himself arrested at least twice before, but each time he would escape quite easily, as he wasn't quite as known. Of course, that was in the beginning of his career, as eventually, he'd earn himself the names Marksman and Trigger. However, as he was attempting to assassinate Section Knight Kyle Bonnick, the building he was in collapsed, and he was put in a high-security prison. Seeing his potential, Keith Thompson desired to turn him into another Section Knight of his rather than execute him, and in the few months that he stayed in the prison he became even more feared among prisoners, having managed to smuggle a weapon into the prison. He plans his breakout carefully.
Skills:
- Marksmanship - Due to years of training, assassinating, and murder, Calder's hands and eyes have become accustomed to guns, especially his sniper.
- Art - Possibly the only trait from his happier self that he hadn't lost, Calder is a pretty good artist. This helped him with making and refining his weapons.
- Swordsmanship - Calder is quite talented with lighter blades, although he prefers dual blades; however, he only uses one of the two at all times, while the other is rarely on him at all.
- Sniper - Serving as his main weapon, Calder has had the sniper for many years, and has been modifying it since. It has a laser pointer and shoots powerful lasers itself, although at times he would attach his other gun do it so as to fire normal bullets. He attaches it to his arm so that aiming and firing while on the move is easier, and pulls the trigger.
- Laser Gun - Serving as more of a "support" weapon, Calder has it on him at all times. It fires a thin, delicate laser beam that is inefficient against most armours. However, he doesn't use it to kill soldiers in armour, but rather to cripple them by frying specific nerves, rendering his victims weaker and immobile. Of course, it can also be used to kill by destroying specific nerves, capillaries, or shooting the heart or brain directly. It is another weapon that he 'personally' modified.
- Pistol - Serving as his secondary weapon, this pistol fires 'normal' bullets. It can fire two dozen bullets before needing to be reloaded. One of its unique features is that it holds a spare magazine beneath the muzzle, although Calder has bullets on him at almost all times.
- Single Blade - Formerly part of a duo before its twin was given to its manufacturer, Calder rarely uses this weapon, although he is extremely skilled with it. He only uses it in close-quarters combat.
- Journal - Calder has a journal on him in which he keeps his maps, important events, and anatomy of his weapons, as well as a record of every significant person in his life. It was given to him by his father before his untimely death.
- Amulet - Formerly belonging to his lover, it's a scorpion trapped in amber. Calder wears it around his neck at all times, and values it greatly and almost limitlessly, finding peace and comfort inside it.
