So I came across this post in the xbox.com forums ( http://forums.xbox.com/33270128/ShowPost.aspx ) for Brink and H0rse was having a little fun…

Detective Jim Jackson isn’t known for his subtlety. Whether he’s kickin’ down doors with his size 12 cowboy boots, or blowin’ away bad guys with his .44 Magnum, Jim Jackson don’t mess around! Joining the Academy at age 21, he was a badass from the start, always pushing things to the extreme. His first bust was a couple of thugs trying to rob a liquor store…2 broken noses, a broken arm, and a punctured lung later, they were spending the night in the hospital, and eventually jail. The city of San Francisco was in for some trouble…

Car crashes, explosions, bar fights, fistfights, gunfights, fistfights with guys in bars that explode and crash cars with guns attached to them…Jim has been there, done that! Jim Jackson doesn’t have a middle name, but if he did, it would probably be something like Suspension, Disturbing the Peace, Reckless Endangerment, Vehicular Manslaughter, Assault, Harassment…I think you get the point…All the havoc Jim created through the years, it’s amazing he never made the FBI’s top 10…but he did make detective at age 33, and although his methods may be a bit ”unorthodox,” he’s the best damned detective the Department had to offer. His fellow officers joked around saying he must have brass balls, and hence the nickname “Metalballs” Jackson was born.

When he’s not on the job, Jim is another man - a family man. Both a devoted husband and a loving father, his lovely wife and daughter mean the world to him, and he does all he can to make sure that World is a better place for both of them…But that was a long a time ago. California is no more, as well as all of the West and East Coasts, and the family that meant so much to him was taken away in the Great Flood. It’s now 2045, and the world is a watery wasteland. What’s left of civilization has packed up and moved to the Ark - a self-sustaining, prototype, “vision of the future,” floating out at sea, and things there are going to [censored] fast. On one side, you have Jim and rest of the Security just trying to keep the peace and everyone on the Ark alive, and on the other, you have the Resistance - a ragtag group of refugees who have banded together planning some sort of “revolution.” They’re gonna tear this whole god damned place apart, and Jim can’t have that.

He’s been a part of Security for awhile now, and up until recently, things have been pretty calm. But now these greedy, communist, dirtbags wanna ruin it for everyone and threaten the lives of civilians? I don’t think so. Not on Jim’s watch! So now’s he’s gone from “Protect and serve,” to full-blown quantum singularity kicker, as he joins the ranks on the frontlines in an all-out war against the Resistance. Things have gotten personal for Detective Jim Jackson and he’s gonna take it out on their faces! It’s been rough these last couple of weeks and even Jackson ain’t made of stone. It takes its toll on a man, breaks him, makes him reevaluate his life, his purpose. It’s the memory of his wife and daughter that keeps Jim going, because at the end of the day, that’s all it comes down to - making the world a better place for them. [/QUOTE]

Thought it might be interesting and hilarious to hear what anyone else comes up with. Multiple characters welcome…

Name: Tristan Michael Koontz, aka “Choppah”
DOB: November 7, 2007
Place of Birth: Butte, Montana
Citizenship: United States
Affiliation: Resistance

Appearance:
Body Type: Light
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 185 lbs.
Eyes: Grey
Skin color: Caucasian
Hair: None, shaved bald
Head gear: None
Face gear: None
Facial hair: None
Shirt: Black T-Shirt
Jacket: None
Pants: red cargo pants
Body tattoos: Various military tattoos from his time served in the US military as a UH60 Blackhawk pilot. He also has a mural of his family across his back as a tribute to his wife and kids he lost in the flood

LTC (retired) Tristan Koontz lost his wife and two kids in the great floods that consumed most of the population. Due to his past experience as a helicopter pilot for the US Army, he volunteered to conduct rescue operations during the first phases of the flood. Unfortunately, when he attempted to rescue his own wife and kids as the flood expanded throughout the land, he was “ordered” to take some VIPs immediately to the last ship that was taking said VIPs to the Ark. When he refused, the California Governor himself, held a gun to Tristan’s head forcing him to leave his wife and children behind. He immediately returned to the area where his family was, only to face the grim realization that they were lost.
Tristan is now on a “roaring rampage of revenge”, as recently deceased film director great Quentin Tarantino (yeah, it’s true, he died in the floods…it was the last online post by TMZ.com) would say, with the sole purpose to find the man who, in his mind, cost him his family’s life.

Upon arriving at the Ark, he was heavily recruited by the Resistance upon his arrival due to his career as a military officer. It really didn’t take long for him to decide as he needed “friends”, support, and supplies in order to attain his goal… to destroy the fascist “leaders”. Only the Security is in his way. Ultimately, he wants the head of the man who cost him everything, but he will take as many as he can along the way. In his mind, they are all the same and every one of the VIPs cost the lives of the “ordinary” people of the world. Humanity will survive as long as he does his part to eradicate the very people who are said to “protect” the citizens.

Metalballs Jackson was a character I played on City of Heroes. The first 2 paragraphs of his story I wrote for CoH. I added the last 2 for Brink.
