The Unit - By Ranking Positions
Have not actual ranks in the military due to the covertness of their operations and do not exist on any military record book, however, they do have pull within the military equivalent to a certain rank.
"SARGE" - Demon - Very much the fearless leader with a heart of gold under a very rough and harsh exterior. He's a grump, an asshole and emotionally constipated with severe PTSD that he hides with amazing skill to the point as long as he doesn't seek therapy no one knows the truth outside of those in the unit and his mate Calico. Married to Trent Odell Connelly, since neither of them exists it's not considered an issue among the officials, they are still effective and truly The Unit itself does not conform to military regulation due to the fact each of the members is of supernatural origin. Known for giving his men nicknames, with the exception of Trent.
Trent Odell Connelly - Vampire - The old man of the unit but her certainly does not always act it. Often participating in pranks with James despite some of them resulting in the backfiring on the vampire himself. Only member left from the formation of the unit during the American Revolution. Married To Sarge. Second in command with an expert knowledge that spans over 15 centuries of life including weapons training, strategy, diplomacy and much more. Loyal as they come but holds a warrior soul with a strict devotion to family and his brother’s in arms and belief in honor.
Joseph “DOG BREATH” Rico Hernandez - Lycan - Heavy Artillery Specials and Insane Combat Drive. He’s the madman behind the wheel and you really don’t want him to mess up when he’s driving. “Just stop talking he will kill us all, Rough Ryder.” Actually, a very strong believer in non-violence but also not willing to stand by and watch others fight for their country or defend the lives of others without stepping in. Loyal to the core and willing to die for his brothers without hesitation.
Second Row - Left To Right
James “MADMAN” Jacobson - Fire Elemental - There is something seriously wrong in his fucking head. Known for blowing himself up on purpose just to see the effects of a new explosive James has some issues but they don't’ just extend to himself. Anger him and he will gladly roast every fucker who pissed him off and dance in the flames while he listens to the melody of their screams and laughs the entire time. (Yes he’s the crazy dude who laughs psychotically when angry.) A diagnosed Pyromaniac (Discovered after a mishap involving Trent getting blown to shit by what was honestly a mistake but it required some investigation due to the severity) He is truly a sweet man though who loves to laugh and will pull pranks on anyone including himself to see people smile. Explosives are his niche and he won’t let you forget that.
Shane “LAZY ASS” Jericho Tein - Earth Elemental - The alias says it all. He’s lazy as fuck. Albeit he can be motivated if you know the buttons to push. He comes across as disinterested in the world and everything going on but it’s in effect a wall he structures for himself during childhood. His lazy nature likely is linked to his species and like the Earth when he does reach a certain point all hell breaks loose and then he settles down like nothing happened. Sarge is very much the man who coined how to motivate him after he chose the Marine Corps over Juvenile Detention for hot-wiring a car so he could get away from a street gang he owed money to in Hell’s Kitchen, New York and it certainly ended up with plenty of times that the demon was nearly knocked unconscious by flying boulders but hey it worked. Mated to Bruce Hammond. He’s a heavy hitter when he needs to be but he’s quite skilled as a marksman, often taking the high ground and picking off targets rather than hitting the enemy up close and personal. A fairly skilled sniper in the end.
Bruce “ROUGH RIDER” Tyler Hammond - Animal Shifter - Capable of taking the form of any animal he meets in person after the first introduction is great but it comes with a consequence. A libido that does not quit. And perhaps this would cause problems given the fact he is mated to someone and has no intent on slowing down but Shane seems to be understanding of the fact he needs a female and as long as he’s the only man in the shifter’s life he’s happy to live knowing the women he’s with are nothing to the shifter in the end. Though this has resulted in several oopsie babies and there are likely plenty more. Despite this Bruce is an animal lover who grew up on a Ranch and their Corpsman. He may be all play when he’s not got a patient but he sure as hell has no issue setting to the task of saving lives if that’s what he needs to do. He’s a born healer and will even try and get Sarge to make Joey stop so he can take care of that injured dog over there.
The Many Faces Of Connor Brian Connelly
You all know about the giant teddy bear with a sniper rifle who now stands as Master Gunner for The Flying Dutchman. Well, people don’t exactly know the full story or the extent of who Connor truly is. Outside of the sweet man most know are two other sides and one of them is not so nice.
ConCon - That sweet giant with a heart of gold. This is likely what most people know. He tends to be a bit more reserved but when he trusts someone who can be very loud and friendly. But everyone knows ConCon is just a giant teddy bear who wants a hug. He loves sweets, family and just being a goofy man.
Gunnery Sergeant Connelly - The side most of the military knows and is happy to speak of. A sniper with amazing skill and record book holder for longest distance for a confirmed kill shot (5 Miles out) without a scope. (Comes in handy to be the son of a vampire and human woman.) There is an actual story behind this image itself. During a mission in 2006 in Iraq, his unit’s convoy was hit by an IED. Every member was killed aside from Connor. If it wasn’t enough to see the mangled bodies of his brothers in arms the breaking point for the dhampir was the body of a young child fused the Humvee after being used to stop the convoy. Three days after the lost contact the search team out find a bloodied Connor, exhausted but having taken care of the bodies of his brothers in arms as best he could so they could be returned to their family, making a makeshift memories for the child and the bodies of 20 hostiles who had attempted to overtake the village they were en route to during after the convoy was destroyed. He was severely injured in the blast but had managed to fight through the pain, massive shrapnel damage to his body that he had yet to remove and was sitting there as though he was enjoying the pain he was in without a doubt. The image itself is based on the funeral held for his fellow Marines and the guilt he still feels for surviving.
The Hound - The myth of The Hound is spread widely through the Marines. And despite being common scuttlebutt no one believes the stories. Claimed as simple scuttlebutt and urban myth/. Three months after the IED that killed his brothers in arms the rumors began. A man who was sent in to take out those who no one else could. To take care of problems that the Military could not afford to lose lives on. And in truth, The Hound and Gunnery Sergeant Connelly are on in the same man. But they exist in different worlds. The Hound is a myth, a rumor. The Gunnery Sergeant Connelly? After the incident, the Lance Corporal jumped ranks suddenly. It was assumed due to heroism in the line of duty and going above and beyond the call and that is exactly what The Hound’s handlers want everyone to believe. For the two to exist separately. To let the hero and legend remain tangible while the horrible myth of a one-man force capable of killing anyone and anything in his path and coined with his code name as a reminder that once he has the scent he will hunt you down and take you out. A vast difference from the disciplined soul of the Gunnery Sergeant or the gentle giant everyone stateside knows.
Disclaimer: I know there will be some errors for all you military personnel, I do try to do my research but this is a work of fiction so be aware of this. I am always researching and learning however and if I catch errors I do make attempts to edit them. I do know a lot of their designs are not acceptable to military dresscode but this is fiction and I did have them adapt during any time they are deployed.
