Ronnie Bertier

He is an All-Star in The Varsity Knights, and is a Free Safety on the Football Team, played by firefighter_1203.
== Appearance ==
A 6'0 215 lb man, with weight in such a magnate-like manner. The untidy sunlit blonde locks nicely delineate his charming freckles. His piercing blue eyes like the bluest summer sky give a sense of intensity and some softness of his character. It is like the strength of this man is so apparent while he still possesses an air of approachability that keeps attracting people in.
== Characteristics ==
He is obnoxious to the extreme; his bloated ego leading him everywhere including on and off the court. The jumpiness of his energy makes it disturbing as well as thrilling. A simmering tension that constantly makes one uncomfortable at the back. Regarding affairs of the heart, he views relationships as passing conquest and females as just stops along the way of his indulgent voyage.
Hidden beneath the rude behavior and huge ego is a man at war with himself. He is also a victim of constant alcoholism battle which makes it even complicated since he is of a jumpy nature. The tightrope walk towards redemption and sobriety forms the dangerous path of self discovery among shadowy glimpses of his past. These transitory relationships turn out to be an expression of his egoism and at the same time help him acquire mental peace. Every stutter and every effort to get up captures a picture of man so eager to write a new script that he can not ignore the voices of his yesteryears.
== Character Background ==
Ronnie Bertier was born freezing cold winter night in Miramar, California. The tragedy of his arrival into the world started when his mother, Sarah, died of an unfortunate overdose just days after his birth. Ronnie’s journey in life that began without the warmth of a mother’s love will certainly have its own set of enormous challenges and notable accomplishments. Thus, a storm marked the coming of Ronnie Bertier into Miramar which is a very vibrant city in Florida. His first breaths were accompanied by thunders of the night that would eventually determine the weather of his turbulent life. Ronnie’s dad, an honored airman and decorated fighter pilot, attended the birth but his duty dictated to weave a string of absences in their fabric of communication.
The son of Captain William Bertier, an extremely brave fighter pilot in USAF, Ronnie was nurtured in the ambience laden with stories about the heroes. Stories of soaring through the air told by Ronnie’s father sparked something in Ronnie that made him dream about achieving great things that would be remembered for years to come. The love of a mother and visits from a busy father characterized Ronnie’s early moments in life. His mother was a woman with dreams overshadowed by alcoholism seeking her way through parenthood on stormy waters. This storm culminated when Ronnie’s mom passed away because of overdose after he had become a one-year old baby child with only the dull sound of jet fighters as a lullaby.
Older Ronnie found solace in a sporting world. He used wrestling as well as football to find the passions he could not get in his life any longer; wrestling and football were also the only way he could save himself now. His heart and soul he put into sharpening his skills, powered by a relentless quest for excellence and to make his mark. The young boy dreamed of leaving a rich memory for his late father and filling the gap made by the absence of his mother.
Ronnie found meaning and sense of being in the world of athletics. It is no surprise that his constant practice yielded results, as he became one of the best players in no time. Being very fast, mobile and persistent, he came to be known as a wunderkind (prodigy). Thereafter, Ronnie’s name became symbolic of perfection, and he was recognized as an all-star wide receiver and running back. He began seeking surrogate mentors in coaches. This young man had an open-hearted style which could have been constrained by his turbulent background, however this did not prevent them from seeing great promise within him. Underneath the stadium lights, Ronnie discovered family; something like the family life he had longed for.
In his final years at school, as he moved towards young adulthood, it was then that Ronnie’s demons appeared, changing everything for him ever after. The dark world was fueled by a cocktail of hatred and a need for power that soon engulfed Ronnie, leading to his downfall. Despite the apparent success though, there was a sinister cloud hovering over Ronnie. The continuous requirement to do better kept increasing while my competitive spirit started eating me up. A dangerous thing happened to Ronnie whose bright future was derailed by a lethal mixture of envy and uncertainty.
Filled with anger and frustration, Ronnie tried to kill his best friend, John by using his father’s .44 Magnum. Ronnie’s obsession with firearms eventually lead to him owning the .44 magnum which was a relic from his father’s military service thus becoming the symbol and also the gun that lead him in the course of madness. However, that night can be traced back to a tornado in motion. That wind was blowing for years.
After the event, Ronnie’s world was falling apart. His guild and remorse weighed heavy on his conscience, hence he had to deal with the darkness eating into him. This athlete, who had promised much, had now been rejected by everyone around him and followed everywhere he went by the consequences of his actions. 
John unfortunately for Ronnie survived, his friend was able to escape death as fate played its mercurial game. It was immediate, merciless and brief. Just like an impending storm, the legal consequences caught up with Ronnie, while his old hopes dissolved into thin air in order to pave way for confinement. Instead of a cold, 4 wall one small window jail cell, the judge had other plans for Ronnie.
After the horrific night, Ronnie Bertier became nothing short of a tragic character and a cautionary tale written into the historical pages for Miramar. He soared through the sky on the wings of athletics once upon a time, but now he has entered a different world – the world of guilt and penance, a realization of a lesson well learned or perhaps an indication that no matter how strong one rises.
