Character Challenge 5 of 31 : Mechanoid Invasion Commando

 As I am hoping to run a Mechanoid Invasion game this year, I am pre-emptively creating a cast of characters I can use!

Buster Gordon had been on Gidean-E for 3 years when the Mechanoids invaded. What was a fairly routine and boring post ended up being a life-changing and incredibly dangerous term of service for the tall commando. While not fleet of foot nor particularly fleet of mind, he is a strong marksman. Now he often is taken to sites in the cargo compartment of Marissa's jump jet, and hope he survives for the pickup. A veteran of several raids against the harrowing mechanical monsters, he has seen many of his squad killed, often in a gruesome and horrific manner that the Mechanoids seem to delight in. He has a grim outlook on life now, and has the thousand-meter stare down pat. 

He has his checklist before each mission and inspects his equipment thoroughly. He is mostly "by the book, ma'am" but has some flexibility. As each mission has seen new horrors, that flexibility is increasing. He has not yet used the M.A.A. / Multi-Arm Antagonizer but has put in a request for one for his next mission. However, he has not trained in experimental weapons, so his requests have been denied. But the number of soldiers left may leave the military little choice.


Several AI images, the first being how I see our titular commando (yes, his name is an amalgamation but that is half the fun sometimes!) I chose anime style when writing the prompt.
