'General of Speed': Geoffrey Gewehr

-----------------------------

Name: Geoffrey Gewehr
Age: 24
Weight: 182 lbs
Height: 6'1"
Weapon: Break-action shotgun "Frieden"
Fighting Style: Trained in Muay Thai, he likes fighting unarmed with his fist- er- elbows. However after he started working for Sanctum he was given his shotgun to fight with in order to help train Maria. He uses the shotgun as an "all-or-nothing" weapon, only shooting it if he stabs first. He prefers this method in order to maximize the amount of damage he can deal to a target, and only really ever uses his shotgun against large monsters outside of the Barrier.
Current Affinities/Affiliations:

Maria (loves like a sister)

Personality: Raucous and arrogant. He loves to fight, usually acting cocky even when he’s losing. He acts like he’s the best to everyone, except Maria, of course. He loves Maria way too much. But that’s probably understandable. Having your little sister “back from the dead” as it were ought to make anyone like him a little overprotective of her.

Story:
Geoffrey is a mercenary; a hired gun. He doesn't ask questions as long as he gets paid. He enjoys his job, to say the least. His prowess in the field had earned him some notoriety in the business, as he's one of those guys who's able to fully immerse himself in the job and not care who or what he's actually sent to kill. Because of this, he's become sort of famous and his name is commonplace among mercenaries and hunters alike. A year ago he got a call from Sanctum (and by "call," it's more like "stopped in the middle of the street by a few people and got into a little fight and was then 'persuaded' into taking the job" but hey details are details) saying that they would like someone to guard a certain..."weapon" that they were developing. Of course, they offered to pay him nicely (a whole $1.5mil like holy shit) and he gladly accepted.

A few days later in the middle of the night, he got a package by form of a big box at his door. "Oh, it must be that fancy weapon," he thought, making sure that no one was around to see him take it into his apartment. There was no address stamp on the box and it was smooth and unmarked, leading him to believe that the protocol was to make it look as untraceable and inconspicuous as possible or something. Eager to see what kind of crazy weapon he's getting paid $1.5million dollars for, he opened it without hesitation. However, inside the box was not a weapon, but a little girl, sound asleep.

Well no shit this startled him a bit.

He didn't want to suddenly get involved in some child sex slave trafficking business or any shit like that! Hard to believe, but mercenary work is a kind of honest business! You can't go around doing stuff like that, that's for sure! It's in the rules! He hastily re-closed the box as best as he could in a panic, and decided to leave it in the living room, thinking of a way to get rid of it- er, her- safely. Eventually, he got tired of thinking and decided to sleep it off, hoping this was just some kind of mix-up.

The next day, he wakes up to find that the box had opened itself. Rather, he was given a rude awakening by the same little girl from said box as she was holding a strangely shaped knife up to his neck as he woke up. She was babbling incoherent gibberish and sweating a lot and looked…scared. Of course, Geoffrey was doing the same I mean how could he not he could’ve been killed there in his sleep that was a pretty close call! He slowly got up from his bed, showing her that he meant her no harm by putting his hands in the air and hoping that she understood what that meant. When she calmed down, he led her to the kitchen, where he decided that if she was going to go through the trouble of waking up and trying to kill him in his sleep then she must probably be hungry.

After fixing up a shoddy breakfast of leftovers from last night’s dinner he sits down at the table and starts thinking…again… Who is this girl and why did she try to kill him? What’s the meaning of Sanctum sending him a child, in the first place? Is she the weapon they were talking about? What could this mean? And why in the everloving fuck does she look so much like his late little sister?

…Where the fuck is the instruction manual- Oh, maybe the box has it.

At that thought he ran back into the living room to the box, startling the girl. Unfortunately, her daring escape from that box ended up leaving the living room a total mess. The couch was ripped up and the tv was smashed but that didn’t matter because he was looking for the instruction manual. Lucky for him, there actually was one. It read: “To begin activation of the weapon, transfer your data for it to function properly.”

“Data? The hell does that mean?”

When he said that, though, the girl reacted immediately. She took the strange looking knife and proceeded to stab Geoffrey in the eye with blinding speed. As he reeled back in pain, a large seal appeared at both his and the girl’s feet; the Seal glowed brilliant red, covering the entire room in light. The girl started muttering more gibberish as his feet started disappearing, following his legs, and his torso; his body was disintegrating before his eyes, but…it wasn’t hurting? His body was almost gone, but he could still see and breathe. It was a strange, out of body experience. His body was completely gone, but he could still see Maria with a blank face chanting something in fro- wait, how did he suddenly know the girl’s name? Nothing was making sense anymore. His body was gone, but he was still there. It’s a type of magic he’s never seen and he did not like it one bit, but there was nothing he could do about it. At least it was almost over; he watched in horror as his skeleton was reconstructed and his body put back together again in front of him, his flesh growing from the bones like some sort of visceral flower. The strange ritual was done. He was back to normal again. The girl’s speech suddenly became understandable as she smiled and greeted him as though they’ve known each other for years.

“Good morning, brüder~!”

-----------------------

Extra notes:
His first training mission with Maria involved hunting a certain large monster in the forest. This is when he discovered that his body was able to regenerate after half of it was ripped off.
In the year’s time since the ritual he’s almost completely forgotten about it, and he acts as though he’s known Maria since birth, now.
He likes spicy food, more specifically, Korean food. It’s a guilty pleasure of his to stuff his face with red-hot rice cakes and beef soup. His tastebuds can grow back, so what’s the point of being cautious? That’s actually a terrible way to think, Geoffrey.
