Name:
George Braxton
Age:
29
Physical Appearance:
He is of average height with long brown hair and dark blue eyes. He has a noticeable scar across one cheek.
Strengths:
Ambitious, trustworthy
Weaknesses:
Stubborn, aggressive
Background: George was born in 1746 in Portsmouth. He has three older brothers and a younger sister. The oldest inherited everything. The middle two brothers chose a life at sea. And his younger sister has been married off years earlier. But being the youngest son, he was never going to inherit a lot of money or land or even titles so he had to make his own way in the world. His father had encouraged him to join the Royal Navy like his two older brothers. He tried it but, unfortunately, George discovered that he became horribly seasick in even the mildest seas. The Royal Navy was out of the question. So he let his sights drift onto the Army.
He was nineteen when he finally enlisted. His first year was a shock, to say the least. It was brutal and dirty and dangerous and was far from the glorious adventure he had first imagined it to be. George was disappointed but he was not one to back out. He could be stubborn to the point of ridiculousness. Some small part of him decided that he needed to prove a point. He was going to stay in the Army. He was going to succeed in the Army. And he would, one day, return home a hero. He didn't want to do it as just an enlisted man, however. Since that time, he has been trying to save up enough money to purchase a commission.
