History

Family (or Creators)

Born to John and Jane Burroughs.

Pre-RP

At the tender age of five, Carl showed promising signs for marksmanship when he killed the family's favorite dog with his father's 9mm. While his mother was outraged, his father, John, was quite ecstatic. The very next day Carl learned “how to shoot like a man”. When his parents weren't looking, he roamed around the neighborhood and killed off everyone's pets. Though the police never found out.

Upon reaching his teens, Carl immediately knew he wanted to join the military. The day before he shipped off, the NMX invaded his homeworld of Rok'Veru. He lost his left eye and right arm to the invaders as well as his family. Grief stricken, Carl made a slow recovery. Since that day he has sworn to eliminate the NMX from the galaxy as if to return the favor for his own losses.

Carl was prone to bouts of rage and violence when he went into battle against the NMX; though nowadays he has his rage under control…mostly. Outside of the battlefield, Carl could be described as one of the nicest guys you would know. However, when in combat his personality flips to that of a cold, uncaring man with a chip on his shoulder.

Unfortunately for Carl, the military wasn't for him. Taking orders was not something he enjoyed and he promptly left. Unfortunately, while he was gone his parents became extorted by the mafia. To solve this problem, he volunteered his services to the mafia to pay off his family's debt.
