I'd like to have David establish friendships with pilots or ADAMS personnel. He'll always be available to assist in the development of other characters. While David is saddled with some mental issues of his own at his core he's got a good heart. David is gay, though due to some personal shame and confidence issues he probably isn't the optimal character to pursue romantic interactions with. Though if tight bundles of repression are your character's type feel free to pursue something with him.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>FILE NUMBER</strong>:<br/><strong>CLASSIFICATION</strong>: Grigori Pilot<br/><strong>DEPARTMENT</strong>: Administration, the Grigori Program<br/><strong>WAVE DESIGNATION</strong>: Third Wave<br/><strong>CALL SIGN</strong>: Countsheep<br/><br/><strong>NAME</strong>: David Shepherd<br/><strong>DOB</strong>: 15 September 2078<br/><strong>BLOOD TYPE</strong>: O negative<br/><strong>HEIGHT</strong>: 168 cm<br/><strong>WEIGHT</strong>: 58 kg<br/><strong>EYE COLOR</strong>: Green<br/><strong>HAIR COLOR</strong>: Blond<br/><strong>RACIAL ORIGIN</strong>: White<br/><strong>ETHNICITY</strong>: French Canadian/English Canadian<br/><strong>CITIZENSHIP</strong>: North American Union<br/><strong>LANGUAGE FLUENCY</strong>: English, Canadian French<br/><br/><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: David was born in Montreal, Canada of the North American Union. He grew up privileged due to his parent’s wealth and high social standing. As a child David was anxious and painfully shy, though still managed make friends through kindness. His father and mother filled their legal obligations and necessary parental duties to him, though they were emotionally absent. Most of David’s emotional nourishment was provided by his older brother, Allen, and various caretakers and teachers at school. The reason for his parent’s lack of interest and involvement in his life compared to their attentiveness to Allen’s life is due to David’s birth being unplanned. And the result of his mother having an affair. This scandal was a closely guarded secret between his mother, his father, and Allen. David is unaware of who his birth father truly is.<br/><br/>Growing up David fostered a love for reading, soccer, computers, and nature. He was a bright student due to following the rules, completing assignments thoroughly, and possessing a natural curiosity to learn. David was able to shed his childhood shyness, though he continued to struggle with anxiety. He had a small group of friends and was involved in his school’s science club. The death of his parents hit David particularly hard and he spent a year in grief counseling to process it.<br/><br/>He had intended to pursue a career in nursing, though Allen convinced him to volunteer to have his synchronization rating tested. Disbelieving that he’d ever qualify to be a Grigori Pilot he volunteered and was found to have a natural synchronization rating of 15%. At the age of 16 he was drafted into the Grigori Program and reluctantly began training.<br/><br/><strong>TRAINING AND PILOTING HISTORY</strong>: Most of the nicknames David received during his training had to do with his relation to Allen. He was frequently called Little Sheep and Shepherd Two, though much to his displeasure he was also occasionally called Davey. During training he had to overcome a fear of enclosed spaces. Throughout training David lacked confident in his ability to ever be a pilot and considered his high natural synchronization rating a fluke. It wasn't until David passed the 20% synchronization that David acknowledged the potential he had to be a good pilot and began to apply himself to the program. He was granted piloting clearance after three years of training.<br/><br/>David has two years of piloting experience and has only participated in a few combat missions against demon spawn. He was given the callsign of Countsheep on behalf of the Research and Development department due to their irritation with his falling asleep during routine synchronization rating tests.<br/><br/><strong>PILOTING CLEARANCE</strong>: Unit 01-Samyaza. Unit 02-Penemue. Unit 03-Sariel.<br/><strong>SYNCHRONIZATION HISTORY</strong>: David had a natural synchronization rating of 15%. The highest synchronization rating he has ever achieved during combat was 41%. His average synchronization rating is 38%. David’s synchronization rating reliably spikes during combat.<br/><br/><strong>FIDELITY HISTORY</strong>: <br/><br/><strong>PUBLIC RELATIONS INVOLVEMENT</strong>: Frequent. When paired up with his brother Public Relations considers him one of their golden boys, though David rarely makes public media appearances alone. David is intensely uncomfortable with being in the spotlight and would prefer to have a minimal involvement, but he's pressured by both his brother and the department to participate. His hair color is naturally brown though Public Relations has requested that he keeps it dyed blond so he matches Allen.<br/><br/><strong>PSYCHOLOGICAL NOTES</strong>: David has a nervous disposition and in his childhood experienced anxiety attacks. While he has never experienced an attack during his time at ADAMS he's still required to attend an additional monthly therapy session for stress management. He’s considered a bit of a pushover due to his lack of assertiveness and obedience to what his brother or ADAMS tells him to do. He often becomes passive-aggressive when upset. <br/><br/>Due to upbringing David is easily made embarrassed and ashamed of himself, especially when it regards religious, sexual, and piloting matters. He is introverted and initially had trouble connecting with other pilots and ADAMS personnel. While David is friendly with his fellow pilots he spends most of his free time with Allen. When issued day leave from his duties David frequently and discreetly spends them at bars.</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Ian Harker: Grigori Pilot</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Misc Comments</strong>: I'm fairly open with Ian. Feel free to pursue friendships with him though I'd also be up for getting him involved in some rivalries or antagonistic relationships with other characters. He's not a bad or cruel guy, but he's got a bluntness that might grate on people the wrong way. Ian is gay and has a flirty side, though he hasn't gotten over his ex-boyfriend yet. They broke up in December and had a secret relationship that they didn't report to the Human Resources department. If your character wants to flirt with Ian you have my permission to go for it, but he's not ready for a new serious romantic relationship.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>FILE NUMBER</strong>:<br/><strong>CLASSIFICATION</strong>: Grigori Pilot<br/><strong>DEPARTMENT</strong>: Administration, the Grigori Program<br/><strong>WAVE DESIGNATION</strong>: Third Wave<br/><strong>CALL SIGN</strong>: Sugar<br/><br/><strong>NAME</strong>: Ian Ramón Harker<br/><strong>DOB</strong>: 13 February 2076<br/><strong>BLOOD TYPE</strong>: B negative<br/><strong>HEIGHT</strong>: 178 cm<br/><strong>WEIGHT</strong>: 69 kg<br/><strong>EYE COLOR</strong>: Brown<br/><strong>HAIR COLOR</strong>: Black<br/><strong>RACIAL ORIGIN</strong>: Multiracial<br/><strong>ETHNICITY</strong>: Chicano/Irish and English American<br/><strong>CITIZENSHIP</strong>: North American Union<br/><strong>LANGUAGE FLUENCY</strong>: English, Spanish<br/><br/><strong>BACKGROUND</strong>: Ian was born in Portland, Oregon of the North American Union. He grew up in a loving and low income environment. His father was a dockworker and his mother is a waitress. Ian has no siblings, but grew up surrounded by cousins due to his father's side of the family living in the same neighborhood. Ian displayed an interest and knack for art as a young child. This interest was encouraged by his father and fostered a passion and talent for drawing that followed Ian into adulthood. His childhood was fairly typical until age ten when his father had a heart attack and abruptly passed away. Ian's mother turned to alcohol to console her grief. While his mother's alcoholism never led to violence she was often neglectful. Ian spent the rest of his childhood and teenage years yoyoing between his mother and aunt. When his mother was dry he lived with her, though when she inevitably started drinking again his aunt took him in until his mother managed to prove herself sober for a few months.<br/><br/>In school he excelled in art, math, and physical education but struggled significantly in other areas of study. As a teenager Ian quickly fell into delinquency. He frequently got into trouble, primarily with graffiti and getting into fights with other boys, though he never got into any serious trouble. At the age of 14 he was diagnosed with clinical depression after surviving a suicide attempt and received treatment through medication and therapy. Ian was pulled out of school for a few months while he was treated, but once he went back his attendance improved and he stopped getting involved in altercations with his classmates. At sixteen he continued to attend high school while also holding down a part time job as a busboy. Ian continued to draw, though he never thought to make a career out of it. <br/><br/>In the aftermath of a spawn attack Ian was present at an ADAMS relief center when a synchronization of the immediate area was ordered. He was found to have a natural synchronization of 15% and was drafted into the Grigori Program at the age of 17.<br/><br/><strong>TRAINING AND PILOTING HISTORY</strong>: During training Ian had some trouble obeying superiors and also had a few negative incidents with other trainees, though he also formed quick friendships as well. During his first year of training during the celebration of Day of the Dead he lent his artistic skills in the creation of sugar skulls. The nickname of Sugar was initially only used by his friends, though due to the nickname clashing with his not so sweet attitude others began calling him by it and the name stuck. Ian hates Sugar and the jokes deprived from it, but he's grown used to it. He was in training for four years before being given piloting clearance.<br/><br/><strong>PILOTING CLEARANCE</strong>: Unit 01-Samyaza and Unit 03-Sariel.<br/><strong>SYNCHRONIZATION HISTORY</strong>: Ian had a natural synchronization rating of 15%. The highest synchronization rating he has ever achieved during combat was at 37%. His average synchronization rating is 33%.<br/><br/><strong>FIDELITY HISTORY</strong>:<br/><br/><strong>PUBLIC RELATIONS INVOLVEMENT</strong>: Infrequent.<br/><strong>PSYCHOLOGICAL NOTES</strong>: Ian attempted suicide at 14 and was diagnosed with clinical depression. It is his only recorded incident of direct selfharm and Ian responded well to the treatment he received. Due to his past mental health issues and the possibility of another depressive episode occurring Ian attends therapy twice a week instead of the mandated once a week for pilots. He has had a lot of trouble adjusting to the ADAMS work environment, especially in regards to obeying authority, but Ian is aware of what a lucky and privileged position he is in as a pilot despite of the dangers. Nowadays he may privately complain about something, but overall he's cooperative and lives up to the expectations of a Grigori pilot. His greatest fear is of an emergency ejection while operating a Grigori.<br/><br/>On three separate occasions Ian has disclosed being in a lateral intimate relationship with another male ADAMS personnel to Human Resources. These relationships lasted only a few months and were also officially disclosed as ending.</div></div>
