Chapter #2

The Commando

    by: evil dude
Name: Jeff Boone

Age: 52

Sex: Male

Race: Caucasian

Height: 6'1

Appearance: Jeff has short graying brown hair and a somewhat muscular build. He tries to stay in shape and typically dresses the part of a soldier when not relaxing at home. He is very fond of his fatigues and beret, but knows when to swap them out during the tough jobs in exchange for body armor and a helmet. He is often clean shaven but is fond of growing a small mustache or even full beard from time to time. He has amber eyes that he tends to hide behind sunglases or goggles when on duty.

Home Base: L.A. Apartment. This luxury apartment is big and spacious but also discreet and with a lot of security patrolling 24/7. It comes stocked with a full kitchen, living room, bed room, bathroom and even an outdoor balcony. Despite it being high class it has very little furniture and decorations as Jeff lives alone and mostly just uses it as a giant storage closet and trophy room. Aside from a few tables, chairs and a mini-bar the living room is stacked with boxes and a large wall safe locked by a security pass code. One of the few luxuries Jeff allows himself is a small game corner complete with a pool table, pinball machine and a fancy poker set.

Skills/Perks: Jeff has served in the army for over 20 years and has retained many close friends in very high positions throughout the years. This allows him to call in emergency aid or support whenever he needs it and provides him with access to military grade equipment that other people struggle to obtain. His combat training makes him deadly both in close range and at a distance and gives him the skills to use any type of weapon effectively. He also has the knowledge required to pilot helicopters, tanks and other types of military vehicles.

Weaknesses: His age has slightly dulled his senses and agility, which means he tends to react a little slower and tire out a little quicker than the other mercenaries. He also has a bit of a drinking problem and isn't at his best unless he has a little alcohol in his system.

Starting Assets: Several military firearms such as assault rifles and automatic shotguns as well as a few pistols. A crate of ammo for each of his guns. Military grade body armor. An RPG with a dozen rounds. A private helicopter docked at a nearby airfield that is equipped with both turret and missile defenses. A jeep in his garage stocked with supplies such as MREs, canteens and an extra tank of fuel. A two way field radio to keep in contact with fire support.

Starting Contracts

Missing In Action - An old army buddy of Jeff's has recently disappeared from his home town in New Mexico without a trace. The man's wife and sons think a local biker gang may be behind it but are not sure. To complete this mission Jeff will need to head to his buddies house to gather clues and intel and hopefully find his friend. This contract poses unknown risks and unknown rewards. Pay: $1,000,000- $25,000,000

The Wall - A mexican drug cartel has recently run into trouble with border security and needs help transporting their crew across the border. In addition to drugs and guns the cartel has several customers that have paid for transport and need to get them safely to their destination. The main priority is the safety of the customers, but the cartel will pay extra for any guns and drugs that survive the trip. In addition to border security and the DEA Jeff may need to contend with local police or even rival cartels seeking to undermine their rivals. The job has a lot of risks, but high rewards for a job well done. Pay: $50,000,000 - $125,000,000

Car Collection - A big shipment of imported luxury cars has arrived at a large dealership in downtown L.A. and several have caught Mr. Barlov's eye. If Jeff can gather a crew to boost some of the rides he can expect a large payday. This job poses moderate risks and rewards depending on the number and state of the cars delivered. Going alone reduces the risks, but getting all of the cars will require a team. Pay: $1,000,000 - $20,000,000

Hellfire And Ash - A mafia group in New York city have recently acquired a large supply of experimental incendiary ammunition and are terrorizing the criminal underground with it. Desperate times call for desperate measures so several big criminal groups have pulled together a bounty for anyone who can stop them and put an end to their reign for good. This job will be extremely dangerous and will require careful planning and tactics. Brute force may work, but opens lots of potential for retaliation by the mob's enforcers. To complete the job all of the experimental ammo must be taken or destroyed without the mafia being able to trace who is responsible. Major risks and rewards for this one, maybe even a new way to start up a BBQ. Pay: $10,000,000 - $50,000,000

Ice Storm - A large blizzard has hit a crew of drug runners up near the canadian border, grounding their escape chopper and forcing them to flee from the police. Luckily, they were able to reach an isolated ski resort in the mountains and are currently engaged in a standoff with the cops that has lasted several hours. To complete this contract Jeff needs to secure as much of their coke as possible and make sure that the drug runners escape the police. Things will almost certainly get messy so plan ahead and be careful how you go about this. Pay: $100,000,000 - $125,000,000
