"Go on... Shoot me, if you can!"
Name: Rick Hoshino
Race: Human
Class: Gunner (He considers himself a "Bullet Artist"); Mercenary begginer
Age: 21 years old (Birthday on March 25th)
Height: 1,87m/6'2''feet
Weight: 75Kg/165lbs
Hair: Short, arranjed in a spiked upward quiff, in the front.
Eyes: Black
Sex: Male
Build: Due to his height, he looks thiner than he actually is, but he's fine for his size, when it comes to body fat. His muscles are fairly defined, showing that he does a little workout.
Appearance:
Rough Sketch of Rick's appearance
-Head: No acessories. Hair arranjed as explained before. Asian-like eyes. Straight nose, a bit pointy. Middle-sized mouth, with thin lips. He also has a wrinkle-like birthmark, which goes from the inner corner of his eye, to the middle of his cheek. This for both eyes.
-Body: White T-shirt, with a leather jacket, which can be red, with black shoulders, and breast pockets, or jet-black, with a hood, and inside pockets. He always wears regular jeans, with a light brown leather belt. From that belt, there are two light brown beather stripes that come each one from each side of the belt buckle, going around, and ending up meeting each other, on the back middle-side of the belt. the middle part of each stripe is hanging loose on his thigh, which is where Rick has his gun holders.
-Hands: Rick has black gloves made of hardleather, with a special layer of kevlar, on the inside. Crafted by an aquaintance of his.
-Feet: Black leather boots, with steel toe.
Personality: Always in a good mood, Rick is the type of guy who rarely takes things seriously. Known on his hometown as "the wacko", Rick has no fear of anything, and he's never afraid of jumping into situations that might get him into trouble. He also likes to help people with their problems, specially when there's a reward in it.
Home Country: Center of Shussei, in a small town called Makyozan. Now, he usually hangs out on Xtacy.
History: BELLOW!!!
Weapon of Choice: Two .44 Magnum caliber twin pistols, with 8 shot capacity, equipped with a bayonet on each gun. Given to him by the Black Hawks organization.
Rough Sketch of one of Rick's handguns
He always carries 6 extra magazines (3 for each gun), placed around his belt. Also, he keeps some sniper riffle bullets on his jeans' pockets, although he doesn't have a sniper rifle.
Fighting Style: His fighting style has brought a lot of controversy, to the ones who heard of it. It's called "Dangan Jutsu" (Bullet Art), the first martial art done with fire arms. Rick's specialty lays on pistols, although he can do a thing or two with other types of guns. Among many other techniques, these are the main moves he can do:
Counter Bullet: By looking at the angle of the opponent's gun, and keeping his attention on the opponent's finger, Rick can determine, with 99% assurance, where exactly is the enemy going to shoot. Then, using his abnormal accuracy, Rick will simply shoot on the enemy's fired bullet, countering it. Of course, this will work against bullets with the same calliber as his, or lower.
Unpredictable Shooting Wheel: While spinning his guns on his index finger, he can still press the trigger, and hit the target. Although many would consider this useless, and too complicated and risky to even bother to try to do it, in fact, this technique works great against multiple enemies. While spinning his gun, not only no one thinks that he will shoot already, but also no one knows the direction where the bullets go. Of course, Rick trained this first with an airsoft gun, and it took him 2 and a half years, to reach perfection on this.
Shot of Dispair: In case he runs out of ammo (spare magazines included), he takes one sniper bullet out of his pocket, and hits the bullet's primer with the tip of his gun's bayonet, shooting the bullet. Being shot like this, the bullet won't go really that far, however, this works fine, if the target is just in front of him. Of course, it should take time for Rick to take the bullet out of his pocket. This is why Rick has his kevlar gloves... To prevent injury from the bullet explosion.
Basically, if there's something that can be done with a handgun, he can do it. If there's something he can't do, he can learn it.
At close range, he flips his guns, holding them in the barrel, as if it was a handle. Like this, he uses his guns as if they were kamas/clubs, or inverted daggers.
Strenghts:
- His main strenght is the most obvious one: His eagle-eye accuracy. No matter the distance, if he can see it, he can shoot it.
- He's got great stamina, and for that, he can fight and run for a LONG time, without getting tired. Also, because of his average workout, his body strenght is slightly above average.
- Due to his high range combat experience, a person can have a really hard time, getting close to him, without getting shot, first.
- He's a smart guy, and he can use the environment around him in order to take benefit, for his shooting.
Weaknesses:
- Although he can use his guns like clubs, at close range, he doesn't have any REAL practice with it. His melee combat skills just suck. Although he can take on some regular street thugs, that way, serious opponents will require some ranged combat, otherwise, he might be in trouble. His strenght, although nice, doesn't really help him that much, considering that he's still not much used to actually APPLYING it, in battle.
- Although he can be able to shoot what he can see, to tell the truth, that depends on how far the target is. After all, he uses handhuns, not a sniper rifle.
- Even if he does a little workout, and he can fight for HOURS without even starting to sweat, his resistance towards impacts isn't really that great. a few hits will be enough to take him out.
- Although he can run for a lot of time, without getting tired, his running speed is just about as fair as the next guy.
- His cockyness can lead him into trouble, sometimes (as explained before).
Note: Although he's a mercenary, he also gambles once every Sunday night, on Xtacy's casinos. However, he's very careful with it, and only spends a small amount, each night. Considering the unstability of his job, he can't spend his money just like that.
As you can see, this profile still has a LONG way to go, until it's finished. In the meantime, feedback is always welcome. I want a nicely done character, and for that, criticism is always good, right? ^_^
