role-play sample;
“Your heart won’t survive much longer! Please, stay here” Fay cried to Austin as he slung his rifle over his right shoulder, and opened the door. “You know Fay. Even if I stay here, nothing will change.” Austin grabs his coat from the back of the recliner near the door. “How can you act like you’re not going to die?! I can’t stand to lose you again” Fay rushes to the door and attempts to close it. “Go hide in the bedroom, I’ll be back before the evening, just make sure you don’t let anyone in and the .45s in the cabinet.” Austin fights back a tear as he moves to force open the door in Fay’s limp hands, he wrenches open the door and heads out into the rain, and on towards changing the world as we know it.

Pretty much a practical man through and through, Bam goes for a civilian look most often. In the wee hours of the morning, those early risers might catch sight of Bam at 6am jogging home from his 5 mile workout in sweat pants, and a sweatshirt. Usually wearing a business suit, mostly tan and darker blue colors, are what Bam's caught in most often during the daylight hours of the summer. During the winter Bam can often be caught wearing a heavy sweatshirt or open jacket to keep the cold out, and one little girl thought she caught a glimpse of a shoulder holster containing a, SIG P228 chambered for 9mm, handgun. When Dovington finds itself in the somewhat warmer spring months, the local residents can catch sight of Bam in a pair of light khaki’s or even on rare occasion in a pair of blue jeans. Come summer, Bam will wear khaki shorts, every once in a while, but surprisingly stick to his usual appearance in a suit, a polo or t-shirt and khakis, ball cap, and plain black running shoes. Often when on professional business pertaining to his job, which is fairly rare and infrequent, Bam will appear in a black 3 piece suit, looking all the more a government agent.

character's opinion on self;
“When I look in the mirror in the morning, I see myself looking at a young man who’s seen the downside of humanity, but is fighting to preserve it. A right-minded individual looking out for the interests of my country, and rooted firmly in my beliefs.”
how people view your character;
“A well mannered young man, very modest, and forthright. But at the same time, he can be an overly aggressive jerk, who cares nothing for those around him, a selfish person, he’s unwavering in his beliefs and will not allow others to break his surface and accept any of their opinions. He’s relentless when it comes to his job and interviewing or reclaiming anything pertaining to his job, but whenever the thirteeners want answers or assistance, Bam ignores their pleas for answers and continues his job no matter the consequences.

history;
James Bamford grew up in Allendale, MI. Born to Marie and Johnathan Bamford James Deacon Bamford went through life as an average American boy. Bam’s parents passed away when he turned 16, forcing him into foster care for the next two years. A graduate of Allendale High School, Bam enlisted as a Private in the Army. After Spending 5 months overseas, Bam returned to his hometown in Michigan. Here he married his high school sweetheart Joyce, and planned to settle down with in Allendale working as an MA, Military Advisor, after the initiation of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Bam and his wife lived for 2 years happily married in a small house on the edge of Allendale, when one day Bam requested that his employer find a new man to work as their MA, because he wanted to stay home with his wife and the baby indefinitely. The decision by his superiors was to eliminate the “distraction to our weapon”, which meant that they intended to kill Bam’s new family. Upon returning home after his last mission, Bam found his wife and unborn baby murdered in cold blood.
Embroiled with the rage of seeing the only family he had left lying dead in front of him. Bam trashed their house, grabbed his .45 ACP handgun and his Army issue M16A4 rifle, and headed off to the military base just down the road. When he arrived at the base he was forcibly detained by the MPs at the front gate, and awaited the arrival of his handler, Harvey. When Harvey arrived at the front gate to sort out the entire situation Bam had turned the table on the 3 MPs having knocked them unconscious. Harvey stared at the mayhem that was once a guardhouse, and quickly realized Bam had a handgun pointed at Harvey’s chest. Looking into Bam’s eyes, Harvey realized that somebody was going to die today, whether it was himself or Bam, all that mattered was that blood was going to spill. 4 hours later the scene had been cleaned up, the Military Contractors and the cleanup crew had shined the guardhouse spotless, leaving absolutely no clue behind that Harvey’s body had once littered the entire room.
Bam found himself on a plane headed to Dovington not long after the incident, and has shut that part of his life away. Little did Bam realize what had transpired, or that he’d been sedated with the strongest and potentially dangerous tranquilizer the U.S. government had ever developed. Bam only remembered his family had been destroyed in the instance of one single night. Vowing to never fall in love again.
