| Appearance: | Medium height human male. Age of 33 years. Long, unkempt, dirty blonde hair. Untrimmed facial hair of the same description. Milky white eyes. Ripped, old clothes, they look dirty but don't smell (he needs to keep them clean for his sense of smell to work unabated). His face is dirty and has smears of gun grease on it, sometimes arranged in patterns like war paint. |
| Personality: | Due to his fumbled first attempt at using his rifles smartlink to see, Peter has become cold and detached. He has sworn revenge against the corporation for making him blind, he blames the corp for the death of the girl. He is driven purely by vengeance. He is quiet, and only speaks when spoken to. Having been blind for years he is more apt to using his imagination than conversing with other people. Generally cold hearted, Deadeye will only really get passionate about killing when he is contracted to kill anyone from his old corporation. He is yet meet Samuel Parker again but intends to personally blow the man's eyes out and make him suffer the complete blindness that he himself had suffered for years. If Deadeye (his newly adopted name) ever hears a young woman scream he will be paralysed by the memories of that fateful night. He essentially freezes with fear and cannot move, shoot or even think until he purges the memory, that could take seconds, minutes or hours! Should he meet a woman who looks like the woman he tried to save (he got a good look at her when she was dead.) he'll freak out at first but slowly become very protective of her, to the point of taking bullets for her. When talking to people, Deadeye must point his rifle at them in order to see them. This, of course, makes them uneasy and people get edgy if he does it for prolonged periods of time. His rifle has a name, he talks to it and considers it his only friend. |

| Background: | Peter always looked up to his father. A corporation security officer, his father was respected in the community for being fair and just even when his superiors demanded otherwise. His father was the reason Peter joined the corporation and began training as a sniper. Peter showed great aptitude as a marksman and developed a reputation for disabling malcontents without seriously wounding them. He would never shoot to kill unneccessarily. During an uprising Peter was ordered to kill an unarmed, slightly wounded goblin child by his fireteam leader. Peter refused outright, the leader (Samuel Parker, current security chief of the corporation) took his own weapon and blew the child to pieces. Outraged Peter assaulted Parker with the butt of his rifle and hit him in the back of the head. This heavy bludgeoning caused the officer to blackout. Peter was let off charges considering the circumstances, Samuel was in a coma for a week and having finally woken up discovered he was blind in one eye. Gathering his more sadistic allies Samuel cornered Peter, held him down and exposed Peter's eyes to flashbang grenades at point blank. Now blinded in both eyes, Peter was of no use to the corporation (who also wouldn't pay for cyberwear replacements) and was fired. After months of darkness, living off his savings, and being unable to work, Peter was bankrupt. Living in the street, groping in the gutter for food, Peter had only one possession, his old sniper rifle. Late one night Peter heard a young woman scream very close to him, she was being raped. Peter's sense of justice kicked in and he stood up to face the assaulter. Peter was kicked in the gut by the assaulter and fell into the gutter again. The woman kept screaming. Peter decided to make one last attempt to stop the man. Peter picked up his sniper rifle. He inserted the smartlink cable into his forehead port in the vain hope that he could use the direct connection to his visual neural synapses to see. It worked! using only his rifles smartlink scope Peter aimed and fired. The man fell onto the ground, leaking blood into the street. Peter asked the girl if she was alright. She didn't move. Peter touched her softly and assured her the ordeal was over. The girl slumped onto the ground, also dead. Peter's shot had killed both the criminal and the victim! |
