[SOLDIER] Darryl Archideld
A well-meaning clairvoyant who lets the clouds decide his fate.
Darryl Archideld was an incredibly normal man with an incredibly normal life, working an incredibly normal office job. That was until he was struck by lightning while biking home from work, completely altering his personality and giving him psychic powers.
He doesn’t remember anything from before the lightning strike— but he has a few photographs from corporate events and an Employee of the Month mug. He can read auras, interpret objects or experiences as good/bad luck, and occasionally receive visions of the future. He has a little pouch of the RED team’s teeth that he tosses around to predict outcomes or to answer yes or no questions.
Darryl has a set of poppets, each representing a member of the team. Most are wary about him having these, but he actually takes good care of them. He will “feed” the dolls healing oils, give them massages, and whisper affirmations into their ears. He’s sure this helps them in battle.
For years, he woke up at 5am every day for his job— and though he may have forgotten that, his body hasn’t! He wakes up early every morning and performs a strict 3-hour regimen, which involves grueling exercise, yoga, and finally, meditation. Darryl encourages all his teammates to join him, but no one has ever taken him up on the offer.
He’s a good teammate to have on the battlefield; he likes to follow a plan and listen to a leader, rather than go in guns blazing. However, he’ll let his predictions change how he fights. If Darryl gets some kind of indication that they’re going to lose the match (from his tea leaves or the way the clouds looked that morning), he won’t try at all. Wether it be via a self-fulfilling prophecy or actual psychic abilities— his predictions are, uncannily, almost always correct.
