G. Briggs

## Overview

LCPL George Briggs is a 43 year old male, and was part of a Marine squad that was deployed to [REDACTED], at least before [REDACTED]. He was officially marked as KIA (killed in action), until somehow, he managed to be found by a kill squad attempting to kill Disassembly Drones. He is now part of Fireteam Easy, to the relief of Cooker.

## Appearance

Briggs wore camoflauged armor, painted to the environment of the planet of deployment, consisting of a bulletproof helmet, chest piece, and combat boots that have traction to nearly any type of surface, with a grey insulated fatigue underneath. He wore a grey/black balaclava, grey/orange tactical shades on his helmet. He had a small tactical pack, with ammo, food, and supplies. He also has fair skin and green eyes.

Now, he’s an ODST, so he wears a reinforced ODST uniform.

## Personality

Briggs has a joyful personality. He keeps a relatively intact sense of humor, allowing him to keep himself from going into a mental meltdown, which has bailed him out of many situations. He also had a knack of rubbing people (and Drones) the wrong way. However, when pressed about Cooker's family, and he will either just fall silent and let Cooker do his thing, or angrily tell you to drop the subject.

## Abilities/Equipment

#### Combat Armor

Due to his combat armor, effectiveness of bullets against armored parts of his body are slightly decreased.

#### Adrenaline Rush

In combat, he reacts much more quickly, and is less likely to notice minor injuries.

#### Wartime Experience

Due to his slight combat expertise, he's slightly more effective in combat than the regular soldier.

#### Weapons Proficiency

He has a lot of knowledge in using man-made weapons, such as knives or assault rifles.

#### Shotgun

He is equipped with a standard issue shotgun, with a capacity of 7+1 12-gauge shells. He can fire it semi-automatic. Its effective range is about 50 meters.

#### Pistol

He is equipped with a semi-automatic pistol. It has 15 9mm-round magazines. The effective range is 50 meters.

#### Combat Knife

He has a combat knife that is able to easily pierce through flesh, and is most effective when used for stabbing.

## Weaknesses

Briggs is prone to go into states of shock. He is also human conventional infantry, so he's both a very weak target for Disassembly Drones and doesn't have as many options to move around. He can also suffer from weather conditions if not properly equipped, and has a limited supply of rations, ammunition, and medical supplies. Also, as a side note, never mention Cooker’s family around him. He will become rather depressed.

### Log #1547

This is Lance Corporal Briggs, signing on. That was... something. Something shot down our transport... None of my squad is alive. Some weird robot thing that sort of looked like the thing back at the station. Came in and killed the rest that survived. I killed it with my trusty 12-gauge. Absolutely fantastic! Now I'm stranded in the this winter wasteland, and I'm going to freeze to death. This is Briggs, signing off.
