Specialist Nick Wood (Hunter 1-5)

As the light slowly faded I looked around our surroundings and saw tall trees with lush, almost emerald colored trees. "Kate I don't think we're in Yemen any more."

"That would be a pretty obvious thing, but we need to check our gear and get ready for the worst." Kate replied already gathering her gear and grabbing something else off the ground."And here's your Mp5 you left it in the APC when we got to the hanger."

"Sweet thought I left that behind forever." I replied " I guess we can head out." As we were going to leave I noticed a strange box shaped device with a yellowish diamond in the center."hey Kate is this yours?" I asked grabbing it.

"Nope but bring it it may be of some use." I replied with a nod and tossed it to her as we headed out to the what we could gather was the north. As we passed the hour mark on our hike it had gone well till I heard voices " Kate hold up listen.

"Come on it should be near here." then two girls, one with a scythe and wore a red and black reaper looking getup. The second had a fancy looking rapier and wore a white dress with red lining came out of the tree line.

"Um hi" the red one said as the other pushed her way past and pointed at Kate and the device she was messing with."You!" she shouted "Why do you have that do you know who I am i could put you in jail for taking my scroll.!"

"Um This is a scroll? Why is it not paper, and no i don't know who you are and quite frankly i don't give two flying fucks about who you are." Kate snaps back.

"And now to top off you taking my scroll you have a vulgar language."

"Hey now you two cut it out" I said stepping in between Kate and the white themed girl while grabbing the scroll. "Now here's your scroll and I'm sorry about the misunderstanding, we found that in a clearing back the way we came."

"At least one of you has good manners now who are you two i don't recall you ever seeing you a Beacon?"

"Well you see we're not exactly form around here." i replied scratching my neck nervously.

"That would explain your clothing and weapons then."

"Oooohhhhh can i see you weapons what do they do can i try them!?" the one with the scythe asked jumping about excitedly.

"Well i don't really like people touching my baby." i said as she visibly deflated and before she could fully turn to look at Kate my partner said "For once i agree with him off limits."

"Awww, well can you at least tell me there names."

"Names?" Kate says confused.

"Yeah She don't really care about stuff like that, but this here is Stormbringer and Stormbreaker." I said showing her my Mk11 and Mp5 respectively.

"So onto more important things why are you here if your not students of Beacon."

"Ah hell looks like it's time for some of my famous bullshiting.", "Well you see me and my companion Kate here are actually lost and have no clue on where we are."

"Ah well come with us back to Beacon the headmaster can help you out." the one in red said

I gave a quick look over at Kate and she gave a shrug so i said "I mean can't hurt at least we'll know where we're going."

"Sweet you two stay here while we find signal to call for our ride."

"Alright" i said as the two walked off heading the way they came. Kate then turned toward me as she said." So while we were walking i managed to get my tac-pad synced with there version of the internet."

"Ok and what did you find i saw you glued to the pad while i was talking?" I asked. "Well i have no clue what it is but from what i've seen there's been lots of things related to these things called grim."

"And those are?" "Well it describes them as oversized animals made of nothing but pure evil and says there mostly black with white armor plates and blood red eyes."

"It's probably nothing but local supersitison, maybe it's why those two girls where armed like that you think Kate?" I got no answer. "Kate Oh shit!" i said as i turned and saw what i would later find out to be an Ursa.

As it turned toward us i yelled " KATE LEFT" and i rolled to the right as it swung trusting her to watch herself brought up my Mk-11 and aimed down my M145 optic and let loose a round that went straight through its head but i did nothing but anger it as it rushed me.

"Fuck" i yelled as it swiped at me again and i rolled backwards and pulled out my 1911 in a bid to keep it at bay but as i fired my last round and heard the dreaded click it backhanded me and sent me flying in to a tree.

"Nick" Kate yelled as she opened fire once again doing little to no damage as the grim turned to face her."Shit"

I looked down to see that along with smacking me into the tree it had also managed cut through my combat harness and leave two gashes in my chest. "Well looks like it's do or die." i thought to myself as i cocked my Mp5 and primed a Grenade off my harness. With one last ounce of effort i rushed toward the grim fired the mag in my smg and when it clicked empty i dropped it and lept at the ursa and as it opened its mouth to roar i shoved the nade down its throat and pushed off and landed with a thud and passed out.

As i came two i heard to things the sound of an engine and the sound of my partner scolding me for doing something so stupid. "So i'll take it we won?"

"Yeah you to are lucky to be alive." the girl in white from before speaks up from the side "My names Weiss and my friend here is Ruby where on are way to beacon so rest we'll be there soon."

Is renowned for his abilities to fix and drive almost anything on the battlefield. Carries an Mk11 With bipod, M145 optics, cartined iron sights, and a muzzle break. He also carries a stock Mp5 And M1911. He wears standard issue gear but wheres a hat instead of a combat helmet ( Maybe sneak one in his pack kids gonna need one) He also carries an AT4, C-4 and a portable tool kit.

Is for the most part level headed and easy going, though if is provoked he can prove to be brutal and unrelenting but can be borderline suicidal if it means saving the life of a team mate or friend. Hes know around FOB Zulu as a handyman and can drive and fix almost anything. His abilities with demolitions i another story but to keep it brief if you see him with a pack of C-4 hit the deck and pray he's on your side. Last thing he is loyal to a fault but if you where to betray him god have mercy on your soul.

Side note (If he is to parish on this op dont worry about contacting his family, He list none and says he doesn't have one Mabey Mental check up is needed?) Edit Mental state is fine and cleared for op.

That's the end of this chap i really have no excuse for the late update but yeah so no overpowered ocs and yes reguler rounds are not as strong as dust ones and for the sake of the story Remnant will use same caliber rounds.
