[Salone]

Oy, I'm a friend of Cupcake's. Was reading up on your roleplay, I'm pretty interested in it. If you've got a spare slot, I wouldn't mind joining. Here's my profile, and I apologize for lurking the thread.

Name: Lev Gurevich, Lev of Tsavo

Class: Soldier

Items: Le Mat Revolver (.32 Cal/410Gauge), Toz 17-01 Rifle (.22 LR), Purification Filter, Incindiary Laser, Survival Knife,

Picture : *To be uploaded.

Physical Description: Lev has a hard-edged face framed in sooty black hair, marred by burns and scars. His right eye seems to open further than his left, giving him a look of feral alarm at times. He wears a long brown overcoat to protect himself from the elements. His most striking feature is the stake driven permanently through his left palm, permanently affixing a revolver to his hand. He looks to be in his late twenties, although even he couldn't tell you what age he was.

Background: Lev Gurevich had the misfortune of being born in the Tsavo region of Africa. He was a child soldier in countless conflicts, growing up in war-torn villages and slave camps. Death was a fact of life, and many he was forced to fight beside died. Lev always seemed to survive though, and he was forced to carry on into his adulthood. However, he wasn't exactly lucky One battle eventually got the better of him, and he was marked for execution after being taken prisoner. Nailed to a cross with a revolver still in his hand, his crucifix was set on fire. This was not the only time Lev had suffered though, and he miraculously survived being burned off the cross.
Unable to remove the stake that pinned the revolver to his hand,

Lev was forced to keep it as a permanent branding. Some have refered to him as The Man with a Gun in his Hand, and his prowess with said gun is phenomenal. Others who know his origins have called him Lev of Tsavo, in reference to the slaughter and his survival. Word has spread of his deranged exploits. Stories tell of fatal wounds, stabbings, even shots through the head failing to stop him. However, stories are easily made up. But if it serves his purposes, Lev has no objections to letting these stories continue.

Lev himself is a fractured personality. He knows that everything in life is futile, and yet he persists. He becomes intensely curious about people that don't try to kill him, then suddenly shuts them out. Having lost the developmental years of his youth, he finds it hard to socialize or relate to people. Lev becomes quickly defensive and disagreeable when pushed even slightly on any matter, not really knowing how to 'compromise'. He has no unique place in the world, as there are hundreds of soldiers, and he himself is a somewhat broken one. He secretly suspects that he is in fact dead, and the earth he walks today is his own hell. He knows he has survived many things he should not have, and wonders if maybe his body never left the cross at all.


I can change his class to Survivor if need be, since he is not currently serving with any recognized military force.
