Faction & Division: UNSCMC Force Recon, 103rd Marine Expeditionary Force, 6th Marine Reconnaissance Battalion, First Company.
Rank: Captain (O-3)
Name: Luíz “Viper” Javier Selva (Captain Selva)
Race: Human (Latino/Hispanic)
Age: 45 Years old
Height: 5’10”
Weight: 146 lb. (Weight Class Jr. Middle Weight)
Respective Alignment: (for personal reference) Chaotic Good
Appearance
General Appearance/Physique
Luíz is not of a heavy build physically, and in fact is considered to be a much smaller man than many of his other compatriots whom house much stockier builds. One cannot help how they were born to a certain size. However he does make up for his lack in physical size, with martial arts and other weight based balances that help him to compensate for that factor. He is muscular, as a soldier would be expected to be, especially seeing as he desires to better build his physique. His arms though skinny are articulated with muscles; which makes him fairly confident in himself. If he did not moderate his mustache, as is regulation, then he might be able to grow a fine mustache indeed; however that is not the case seeing as he shaves almost daily. His dark brown hair and dim Green eyes are some of his more noticeable features; however he has a very sharp angled nose that is not quite pointed, but is more fitting to that of a right triangle. His nose is a straight line, while his facial structure itself is boney, contrasting in a way that gives him an extremely angular appearance in his facial features.
After having fought through the entire war against the covenant, Selva has received a good deal of physical injury as well as his fair share of battle scars. His left eye has been shredded to pieces, destroyed in an explosion that would not only debilitate his sight, but also would wound his left leg to the point beyond repair. With that, he now has an eye patch covering the void, scarred tissue where his eye had once been. His eye patch is connected to a node that has been put in place of the eye, allowing it to hook up directly to Selva’s optic nerve, giving him the ability to not only see, but to have his command HUD present and at the ready with a direct link to his left optical nerve that had at one point been severed from the damaged eyeball. His left leg has also received a replacement, using some of the excellent binary technology that has been available for quite some time now. Even though his binary leg is hooked up to the surviving nerves that connect to his stump where his leg had been, he still feels phantom pains on the nub end, where it tingles more often than not to remind him of past battles and long forgotten regrets.
Battle Gear
Luíz’s battle gear is very similar to that of the standard UNSC Marine Force Recon, given that his uniform and communications gear are befitting that of a platoon commanding officer (CO). His chest rig; which houses most of his M9 Explosive Grenades, M11 Smoke grenades, and a good deal of his primary MA5 Series Assault Rifle magazines. This rig set up is placed over the standardized armor when allowed, and is normally standard to every soldier. His Type 1 Butt Bag houses most of his secondary gear including his M6 series 50 Caliber magazines and a few other things that might be stored there. His side arm, the M6, is holstered long his right leg. The weapon itself is grooved in such a way that his UNSCDF Combat Knife can easily be held in the left hand while still stabilizing the sidearm.
Strengths
1. Martial arts specialist (Boxing, Judo, Caporia, Aikido)
- Luíz has trained since he was a little boy in the art of Caporia; which is a Brazilian developed acrobatic martial art that had carried over into his South American styled community. Having picked it up, he is now considered quite skilled in the art. Boxing, Judo, Aikido and other formal martial arts were skills that he acquired through the basic training that all officers were placed through during Officer Candidacy School (OCS).
2. Well-developed Leadership skills
- Luíz has spent the two years of his active service to begin developing active leadership skills. Not only does he value the concept of keeping order within one’s unit, but also believes that one is not worthy to command if they are not willing to put themselves into the shoes of each member, which can sometimes lead to too much compassion. Leadership however gives him a good willed nature that allows him to command with a sense of confidence and control that makes for an effective team commander relationship.
3. Compassionate (Weak Link: Overtly Compassionate)
- Luíz has always been a gentler soul on the inside. Even though he excelled within the theoretical training methods that had to be proven during his time period in OCS, He still proves that he sometimes feels too much for his people and even the enemy that he is combating. This compassion is not necessarily a weakness however, seeing as it allows him to make good hearted decisions in regard to moral choices. Also, it allows him the ability to further develop relationships with his soldiers that effectively assists his leadership oriented nature. His compassion can be displaced a times; however he makes his weakness in to a strength by understanding it in this way.
4. Serious (Weak Link: Easily Stressed)
- Luíz takes things very seriously. Situations can change quickly; which has led him to becoming much more serious when it comes to getting things done effectively. Sometimes he can take things a bit too seriously, in which case he might need a good calming down and hot glass of tea so that he can be restored to a calmed state. He is Serous to a degree in that he knows when something must be done, and isn’t afraid to take the steps and measures necessary to do so.
5. Tactically Minded (Weak Link: Over Thinker)
- When you’re a fan of games such as Japanese Shogi and Chess, one begins to understand the battlefield in a different way. It becomes more like a board opposed to just a set you win or lose situation. Using theoretical tactics was one of Luíz’s specialties in OCS, proving that understanding how your troops move in relation to the enemy, and the environment can change a battlefield. He is all about tactics, and maneuvers.
6. War Hardened/Experienced (Weak Link: Scarred (Mentally & Physically)
Having been on many battlefields and tested time and time again, Selva has proven his worth on and off the battlefield as a valuable asset to the UNSC. This obviously awarded him a promotion to the rank of Captain as well as a respectable standing within the military that he had fought long and hard to protect and serve. He is definitely a veteran.
Weaknesses
(Some weaknesses are tied in with the strengths, as it would be with any real person. For this reason some of the weaknesses with be labeled Strong Suit and vice versa some of the strengths will be labeled weak link to display the connection for not only staff reference, but my own as well.)
1. Over Thinker (Strong Suit: Tactically Minded)
- Luíz can sometimes (Excuse me, always) Over thinks situations. He is not really into the whole concept of natural instinct and flow, even though he is a Caporista, a performer of Caporia; which would lead one to believe that he would be all about the lax natured concept. He is analytical in this sense to the point where it can hinder his judgement, cause him to second guess himself, or even cause him to make mistakes on the battlefield. If he is under quite a lot of stress, he might have to break it down a bit more before he is ready to proceed.
2. Nosy/Curious
- Luíz always wants to be in the loop. This is pushed to a fault, seeing as he will do whatever it takes to know what is going on. He is definitely curious in nature for this reason, and may stick his nose where it doesn’t belong. In this sense he may find himself in a conflict that could have been avoided if he had only kept to himself, instead of asking too many questions. This weakness does not stop his respectful nature however, and coexists with it in a way that allows him to be curious without being disrespectfully intrusive.
3. Compassionate (Strong Suit: Understanding/Compassionate)
- Sometimes Luíz cares too much. For both his soldiers and his enemies. This is the other half of the compassion sword; which forces him to choose putting his men into danger with a chance of success in the field or avoiding danger, but jeopardizing the lives of other squads and platoons that would inevitably be placed over him to perform the task anyway. This is his big moral conflict that proves itself to be a weakness as he continues to distinguish himself as a soldier and an officer. He needs to find a balance between his strength and weakness if he is to have any hope of succeeding in the field.
4. Scarred (Strong Suit: Experienced/War Hardened)
Selva has been on many battlefields, proving that he has seen some crazy shit. His body and mind have been imprinted with phantom resonance of every single battle he has taken part in, along with the memory of each life he has been responsible for ending. Haunted by this, and reminded by his physical wounds that are all over his body, Selva has trouble letting go of the past, and even more so understands that his future is only encompassing the never ending conflict of the universe that he has to work towards ending. He will never forget that the enemy,they were, “Pretty Good.”
5. Easily Stressed (Strong Suit: Seriousness)
- Luíz is easily stressed. Sometimes he can take things way to seriously; which leads to rushed decisions, worried thoughts, or maybe just anxiety in general; which is honestly no fun at all. He is what one would call a worry wart…because he worries quite a bit. His Seriousness can be advantageous when needing to get down to business; however, it can sometimes eat up his train of thought.
6. Complex speaker
- Sometimes I cannot be helped that one has an extremely well developed vocabulary. This can cause some confusion with much less educated individuals, and can even cause conflicts if one does not properly understand how a word is intended to be used. Luíz fails to understand when it is proper not to use his collage acquired vocabulary. For this reason, he may find himself trapped in a conflict because he used a word that might not fit context, or even worse, confused the recipient of the message. Obviously failing as a good communicator in this sense.
Biography
Originally born in Bogotá in Colombia, Luíz Javier Selva was brought into the world under the shield of the middle class, just before the Great War began. In fact the thought of a threat beyond that of the insurrectional rebels that threatened most of the more centralized a European cities, the idea of space travel and new colonies fascinated the young Luíz. He and his brother Manuel, six years his senior, grew up in a traditional sense, in that they went to primary, and secondary school like most average kids at the time. He practiced the martial art, Caporia, which originated in neighboring Brazil as a means of self-defense. Proving to enjoy such a sport, Luíz and his brother took great pride in practicing the dance like fighting that helped them find a sense of rhythm. As the siblings reached secondary school, they began to split paths, first with his older brother.
Entering the 7th grade, at around the age of 12, the threat that was being presented by the newly discovered creatures during the first encounter within the outer colonies. The most well-known conflict along the outer worlds began to spark as this first contact lead to bloody conflict throughout the outer colonies for many years. Luíz attended the Universidad de Bogotá after graduating high school as his brother, having spent five years as part of the local garrison, was deployed out to the outer colonial worlds to combat this rising threat that continued to press in on the human race. Luíz was proud of his brother’s choice to defend his home world and his race; however he knew better than anything that when he last said goodbye to his beloved sibling on the eve of his deployment, he knew that he would never see the smiling face of his brother ever again.
Luíz went on to continue his studies as a political sciences student, studying the world of internal planetary politics, as well as inner and outer colonial customs and political systems. This went on quite a while as he progressively built himself up to prepare himself for the real world. This was until he was informed of his brother’s missing in action MIA Status that surely meant that his brother had been killed in battle beyond the ability to identify clearly. This horrible tragedy, Luíz swore that he would take his brother’s place, and decided to attempt to prepare himself for officer candidacy by joining his university’s Marine ROTC program that was more active than ever with the approaching threat of the Unknown creatures that still seemed more like meager shadows compared to an actual threat as he continued to train with the unit at his university.
As he began to enter his junior year of college, Luíz began to find himself building up his military know how, as well as his physique. After having trained for such a long period of time, he eventually qualified for Officer Candidacy School after he had completed his four year degree, graduating from the Universidad de Bogotá. Officer Candidacy was quite a difficult time for the young fellow, seeing as he still didn’t know what to expect at the age of twenty-two as he began to learn that being an officer in the Marine Corps for the UNSC was much more difficult than he had first expected. His need to learn himself first, than how to work with others was a definite necessity; however he eventually began to get the mechanical concepts of marksmanship, hand to hand combat, and other simple things of that nature as he was eventually shipped to another program aboard one of the many naval freighters, after being accepted as a candidate for the Force Recon Special Forces Unit, not only to take over a position as a Lieutenant, but also to begin learning what it meant to be a member of the Force Recon.
Luíz quickly caught the gist of most of the Force Recon Specialty trainings, which included combat scenarios after being cryogenically frozen, and even tactical combat in vacuums with zero gravity. Fun as it was to shoot stun rifles in weightless environments, Soon Luíz would be deployed as the First Recon Commander of the 2nd platoon within 3rd company. Having worked under many captains, Luíz continues to express his respect for his commanding officer, no matter what his name might end up being for the mission. His Platoon has remained the same for the whole duration of his command, and overall he finds himself enjoying the preparations to move out to combat these creatures that he had heard so much theoretical bits of information about. Fresh to combat, the 2nd Lieutenant would find himself not quite understanding combat as he was deployed for the first time to some of the few remaining outer colonies that had not been glassed, turned into crystal balls in space.
When official beginning his first tour of duty, Selva found himself being reluctant to directly face the enemy. His Unit was made up of Force Recon marines, some of the hardest members of the military known to man. In theory, he should be excited that his unit had been selected to do the forward reconnaissance and scouting. That is mostly what they ended up doing, but the reconnaissance was mostly passive, and at a distance. It was not until after more major conflicts broke out did Selva and his troops begin the Kig-Yar, and other creature like aliens that proved to be more resilient than he had originally expected. Having taking a casualty rating of 5% of his troops during the battle, his platoon got off much better than the others that took a good deal of casualties. After proving his unit in many other battles, Selva continues to fight for his men that follow his commands. It’s for them and his brother that he fights on even though fear is quite gripping in such a dangerous world. After a decent battle record over the next two years, Selva was promoted to 1st Lieutenant, providing him with a more experienced position, setting him a part as a distinguished member of the Force Recon.
After fighting a long and hard conflict with the covenant, and receiving many taxing injures, He finally made it to a state of peace. This was short lived as problems began to arise once again, proving that War, thought never changing in nature, was definitely changing into something different, something unseen.
