He quickly completed the training course, applying an incredible intensity and determination to all of the aspects of being a marine.  Some might say that his dedication to the program bordered on obsession, as if each and every day of his short life prior to being enlisted had been spent preparing for the opportunity to prove himself on the field of battle.  That's the poetic way of putting it.  It would be more accurate to say that he had merely found the perfect chance to kill with relative impunity.  Acceptable Targets.<br/><br/>In his psych evaluation, red flags were raised about his coldness and emotional numbness, but this was seen as an asset by the Marine Corps, so the concerns were dismissed.  As a long range specialist, that sort of detachment was a gift in disguise.  Having to see so many faces contort in agony or go suddenly slack from behind a lens had broken many a soldier in the past, but if all the killing affected him he certainly didn't show it.  As a marine, Morden soon gained the callsign of "Reaper" for his cold and ruthless methods of execution.  On the field he is the very definition of implacable, taking out targets with controlled bursts of gunfire.  Deadly accurate, he seems to pride himself on wasting as few bullets as possible.  When off duty, he is a somewhat suave character, but this does not cover up the relative deadness in his eyes.<br/><br/>Of his past life he seems unusually reticent, though one could hardly call him a very talkative person to begin with.  Morden tends to make up bullshit stories just to appease the curious, ranging from tearjerker orphan dramas to crackhead abusive parents, and just about everything in between.  He'd just as likely insist that dwelling on the past is a luxury reserved for those without a future.<br/><br/><strong>Personality:</strong>A man of few words and even fewer moral scruples, Corporal Morden is nevertheless totally dedicated to the careful balance between the well-being of his squad and the success of the mission.  In all likelihood the preservation of his fellow soldiers has less to do with any personal connections, and more to do with maintaining the efficiency of the men and women under his command.<br/><br/>Morden is not a social creature.  He is prone to introspection and periods of total muteness, at which time he prefers to communicate with regulation hand gestures and body language.  Oftentimes he will speak in stilted fragments, or speak rapidly in the vein of a stream of consciousness.  Though it takes some time to acclimate to his unusual methods of communication, Morden's intentions are generally always clear and concise, even under extreme pressure.<br/><br/><strong>Stats(Without Equipment):</strong><br/>Health: 5<br/>Attack: 3<br/>Ranged Attack: His squadmates say that once, when an alien spat acid at him, he spat back. But it wasn't acid, so he has no ranged attack without his rifle, except foul language.<br/>Accuracy: 8<br/>Agility: 6<br/>Intelligence: 5<br/>Defense: 3<br/>Perception: 6<br/>Stealth:  5<br/>Luck: 4<br/><br/><br/><strong>Primary Weapon: </strong>M41A Pulse Rifle with A45 Auto Ammunition Selector, Hollow Point Rounds and Anti-Armour Ammunition.<br/><strong>Secondary Weapon:</strong>Combat Knife<br/><strong>Armour:</strong>M12 Pattern Advanced Personal Armour with M111 Combat Helmet<br/><strong>Equipment:</strong>Combat Stims<br/><br/><strong>Stats After Equipment:</strong><br/>Health: 7<br/>Attack: 5<br/>Ranged Attack: 4 (6 against normal opponents and bosses)(So isn't that 6 at all times?)<br/>Accuracy:9<br/>Agility: 7<br/>Intelligence: 6 (7 When major outcome is decided)<br/>Defense: 7<br/>Perception: 7<br/>Stealth: 5<br/>Luck: 4<br/>
