Protecting his friends

## Appearance

Isaac is a small person with messy longish dark brown hair covering his neck and forehead. His face has a maroon handprint over his right eye, which is heavily damaged and nearly completely red. His right hand is missing his ring and pinky finger and has a blood type tattoo on the back of the hand (O+). His clothes include a tattered purple undershirt with an oversized military jacket over his shoulders, track pants, weathered sneakers, and purple-colored braces.

## Personality

Isaac is somewhat quiet with new people, and he is slow to trust strangers. He typically acts much older than his age, and he is more comparable to an adult than a kid. However, he is still pretty short-tempered and his emotions and actions seem to sway a lot as he grows up. Although he is confident in his choices as they are made, he usually doubts many of his harder life choices, as most of these tough choices are made it small fits of rage. In relation to that, he will not tell people about his eye unless they are extremely trusted. When traveling, he isn't nervous by himself but prefers to be with a group of people, especially ones who respect him. In relation to his sense of self, he is sometimes insecure about his own identity of a person; constantly deciding between a soldier and a child.

## Gifts/Equipment

*Pn*e*umatic bolt launcher-* Compound crossbow pistol that either launch out high-caliber pistol shots from the basic pistol base, or burrowing projectiles; Projectile latches onto surface/person, digs and connects to other side making a distinctive clicking noise, and blows up into a giant airburst, sending debris everywhere and usually destroying the target. Easy way to imagine it would be a combination of Kali's gadget and Nomad's air jab. Gun itself is based on the "Baby Deagle" pistol, with the crossbow being an over-rail attachment. Gun barrel has blood down the barrel.

*Handmade shank-* Simple short knife, homemade by Isaac. Pretty much a fragment of a knife with cloth wrapped around to form a handle. Nothing special.

*Firebrand motorcycle-* Former military motorcycle used by the firebrand raiders, now used by Isaac and some of the wastelanders. Colored a faded olive-grey camouflage. Based off of the KZ-1000.

*Unknown developing gift-* He knows that he will have a gift, but doesn't know what it is yet.

## Background

Isaac was born to a semi-wealthy family in Vilaria, with a mother who died in childbirth and a drill sergeant father. After his father learned about his gift energy, he made sure to raise Isaac in an extremely militaristic lifestyle, barring him from many fun childhood activities in favor of training and discipline. Isaac's difficult childhood was made worse by his fathers alcoholism, general absence, and extremely strict ruling. His drunk father often taunted him for being feeble, despite the fact that he was a kid. When Isaac was about 9, his father taunted him for being scared after he grabbed his father's pistol from his bedstand on a very violent night. His father bent down and placed the barrel between his own eyes, claiming that he was too much of a wimp to actually kill him. Isaac quickly turned angry, and shot his father in the head, instantly collapsing him. Isaac was pinned by his fathers' weight, and his falling body crushed his right eye/orbital, and bled into it.

Shortly after, Isaac was sent to a special boarding school for troubled children in the southern wilderness of Vilaria, which was very undersupplied and ignored. Not long after he arrived, the Firebrand Raiders overtook the neglected school and took many of the kids as easily manipulatable soldiers for their raiding. Here, Isaac was taught that he could live the way he wanted, how to drive, how to shoot/survive, and how killing people was usually the easiest way to get what he needs. He stayed with the Firebrand raiders for about 2 years, before they got into a chain of losses and disbanded, leaving Isaac to try and find a new squad.
