IC INFORMATION
Character name: Marcus Woodland
Character Description: A young man standing at 5'10 wearing the standard black and white ODST gear. Southern US accent.
Character Backstory:
Marcus Woodland was born on the colony of Alpha Corvi II in 2498, and was raised in the rural town of Yama. As he grew older his parents became intertwined with the rising URF sentiment, his father being a UNSC veteran and his mother working in the city of Jamshid as a doctor. His father brought him out often to go shooting, rather it be recreational or hunting, Woodland excelled with a rifle in his hand. It was obvious to him that this was training, however, and not purely wholesome father-son bonding. This realization created a disconnect with he and his father, who would often go on rants about the oppressive Unified Earth Government. He became sick of it all, this training and indoctrination, and rapidly distanced himself with politics. This would spark many arguments between him and his father, until eventually when he turned 17 he was driven far out into the wilderness and dropped off, with just his hunting rifle and a few magazines. Rather this was just some final test, or was done purely out of malice, it enraged Woodland.
Woodland struggled immensely to survive in the wilderness. He had basic survival knowledge since he was from a rural town, but regardless he was completely out of his element, but he was determined to survive, and as such would adapt. He spent three weeks in the wilderness before finding a road that lead to a city, where he took a bus back to Yama.
As the insurrection heated up, his father entered active rebellion with the URF, and the predominantly URF-backing population of Alpha Corvi, most of the planet would fall to insurrectionist control by 2524. Being old enough, he wanted to escape from everything, and took a job on a commercial vessel in exchange for transit to Reach. He started a new life there, and eventually enlisted with the UNSC, rising to the ranks of the ODST in 2527.
Demonstrate proper roleplay for this character:
Woodland sprinted to take cover behind the crashed Warthog, laying on the ground while he deploys his bipod, settling his LMG onto the ground. His squad was pinned down, and he had a plan to change that. A rather simple plan. He opened fire, aiming to suppress the enemies and allow his squad to retaliate. He fired in short bursts, aiming first at any exposed elites, then moving on to blanketing the general area in gunfire. He watched as his squad was able to pull back to better cover, some of the troopers using DMRs even being able to pick off a few panicked grunts. Knowing he now had the time, he was able to reload his weapon, and this time his squad would be better prepared to engage. He opened fire again, aiming to destroy their cover, and if possible, pick off any he could.
