<strong>Ramster's character.</strong><br/><br/><strong>Name:</strong>Yair Shoham<br/><br/><strong>Age:</strong>38<br/><br/><strong>Species/Race:</strong>Human<br/><br/><strong>Gender:</strong>Male<br/><br/><strong>Possessions:</strong>M-14 7.62 mm assault rifle (Sharpshooter variant), a small, almost pistol sized grenade launcher, hand grenades, boobytraps made from said grenades, Spectra combat armour reinforced with Unobtainium to stop a .50 round, and a Micro Uzi 9mm hollowpoint machine pistol.<br/><br/><strong>Appearance:</strong>(http://pro-patria.us/yahoo_site_admin/assets/images/M14_DM.246192456_std.jpg)<br/>A master of disguise, Yair is perhaps most commonly seen in his ghillie suit but has been know to wear a tuxedo for high-end assasinations. He stands 5'9" (1.73 m) and has the wiry physique of a kickboxer, weighing in at 159 lbs (72 kg). His dark brown hair is kept trimmed short.<br/><br/><strong>Biography:</strong>Yair started out as an IDF (Israeli Defence Forces) Designated Marksman. He rose through the ranks from his conscription at 18, and continued as a professional officer until he was about 25. There he learned how to shoot two soldiers through the head with a single bullet at 400 yards, and to hit a target with two well placed shots in a second at a mile's range. After being stripped of his rank and dishonourably discharged  for repeated insubordination, absence without leave and a  generally unexemplary standard of personal discipline, he used his credentials to quickly set up a new and better paid career as a mercenary and hitman. The army only found out about the large amount of equipment he'd stolen from them once he'd boarded a ship to Mauretania, where he started a 'tour of duty' that included involvement in no less than 23 African conflicts under just as many warlords.<br/><br/>Finally sick of the poor plumbing, disease and misery of African warfare, Yair turned to Eastern Europe, South America, China and Japan for employment, where his honed sniping and infiltration skills were even more profitably appreciated for political disappearances and settling differences between the more powerful criminal gangs. Some say that he has 17 illegitimate children on four continents, others claim he is an honorary member of the Skull & Bones for "defending US interests in overseas contingency operations".<br/><br/>When approached by a shadowy cabal for a mission to a cursed city of monsters, of course he said yes. The pay was good and killing monsters would be a terrific break from kiling journalists and drug lords. Besides, his decade in Africa had inspired in him a love of big game hunting. The bigger the creature, the more he enjoyed killing it, and he soon started wondering how to make octopus rings from the promised tentacled beasts. His arrogance would cost him.<br/>
