ATF PERSONNEL CASE FILES 01

LCP/3SG/Cpt. Jack Haddock Guerrerez
Cuban American
Slim, average height with short brown hair, combed neatly.

Teenage life has never been kind to Jack. While only 18, he has been scorned, ridiculed and questioned by peers and family alike. A social misfit, the son of the General who practically owns the Armas Transfronterizo, Jack always found it hard to fit in. He never managed to live up to expectations, costing him promotions, jobs and the respect his father wishes he had. Dismal results at the range and during combat training have never allowed him to show his true forte – an imaginary, creative mind with a vast array of technical engineering skills. In his spare time, away from stern eyes, he prefers to tinker with his equipment, finding ways to make life easier and better, trying to solve problems with his hands and his mind together.

Despite having had a tough childhood where he lost a beloved mother at the tender age of 3, Jack puts on a carefree front, openly accepting new ideas and always thinking about current issues. Not afraid to challenge the norm, he dares to venture out and question current practices, even though he gets shot down and ignored all the time. Failure after failure has steeled his will; he will not rest until he achieves his goal, or until he realizes that things can't change.

3SG/Lt. Astrid Keira Hofferson

British
Slim, average height with blonde hair, Single braid or ponytail.

A young lady of 18, and rather good-looking for her age. Hailing from a distinguished military family, Astrid has always been a tough fighter. Never one to give up, she demands only the best from herself and those who work with her. Failure is not an option for her. She was brought into the ATF by her parents while still a child, both veterans of the Gulf War, after ending their tours of duty with the Special Air Service in the late 90's.

Strong-willed, courageous, and with a vast array of high-end combat skills to boot, she has fashioned herself into the ultimate weapon, far surpassing expectations and becoming one of the top combatants of her age. Her looks have also gained her many fans amongst the hot-blooded young males amongst her peers; however, few have the guts to actually approach her and ask her out, and even so, many fail to get her attention. A true rose with thorns.

Lt. Gen. Basilio Stoick Guerrero
Cuban American
Tall, muscular, burly, scarred; Greying hair in a flattop cut

A son of la Revolución of the 1950s, the General's fighting spirit was bred in him from a young age, his father a top soldier under Ernesto "Che" Guevara himself. However, 'freedom' under the communist dictators of the Cuban Government was not to be for the young Stoick's family. His mother was killed for being one of the first to stand up against oppression. Disillusioned by the way the Cuban Government was developing, the General's father left Cuba for political reasons during the Missile Crisis of 1962 with an infant Stoick, escaping to the United States of America, a political exile.

During the height of the Cold War, the General's father teamed up with a number of like-minded individuals, and started the Armas Transfronterizo ("Guns Across Borders"), one of the first Private Military Contractors of its kind. Setting up base in the deserts of the Middle East away from the world's eyes that were focused on the tensions between the USA and the Soviet Union, the ATF built itself up, expanding slowly throughout the rest of the Cold War. By the time the Cold War was over in 1991, the ATF had a handful of installations in remote regions across the globe, and was adequately equipped, enough to rival most armies. A young Stoick had married a wife that would bear him a son, and he would have taken over the ownership of the ATF from his late father. Thanks to connections in governments all over, the General found favour, his task forces deployed for contracts which government militaries would not risk. By the dawn of the 21st century, the ATF would have grown to a formidable force… if not for those blasted dragons. They took his wife along with the lives of many other valued personnel. Swearing vengeance, the General vows to end the dragon threat once and for all, no matter what it takes.
