Let's start you off with our first candidate
Lieutenant Cynthia Melissa Bloodtooth AKA Bloody Teeth
Age, around thirty
Been part of the military since she was seventeen.
Reasons for joining: Killed a man who ate her younger sister, by seven years, who was human. Was sentanced to be executed when an officer, who was a friend of her father, bought her, to be his personal slave, or that's what the records say his "public reasons" were. Officer was a weredragon with a split-person disorder. (he was human by day, dragon by night) While a decent man by day, he was a sex crazed dragon by night. The only good thing about this was the fact that both sides saw what the other saw. This meant that if you were a friend of the human part, the dragon wouldn't harm you, much. Of course, if you harmed the human, you'd be dead before the sun came up.
Locations served, various places in Middle East, Africa, Asia, Pacific, Europe, South, Central, and North America.
Has been in over thirty battles, and several more with various bandits and marauders.
How She got her nickname: On an island in the south Pacific, she fought her first battle, slaughtering over one hundred enemy fighters, saving a nearby village of humans. She was covered in blood from head to toe, so she went to a waterfall, and took a shower under it. The village's shaman, as the tribe was "primitive", blessed her as she bathed, using the loose translation of her name, Bloody Teeth, and said that she was a warrior of protection and good. Before she left, he gave her a blue and green stone, that had a hole drilled through, it that was on a string, which was sacred to his village, as it was believed to have been created by the gods of the forest and the river. After draping it around her neck, a villager who could speak English to a certain degree told her what it was for, and what it meant, and called her Bloody Teeth. After that, no matter where she went, someone called her Bloody Teeth, followed by a blessing of some sort, and if she saved someone important to a village, or the village itself, or some such thing, she always received a gift that was sacred to those she had helped, and she would give them a gift in return, a braided lock of her own, human, hair, which she would make then and there, telling the children that if they were ever in danger, it would be as if she was there.
Personal connection to the military: Great-grandfather was Colonel Redclaws. More importantly, her grandmother was born AFTER the war was over, by one year. This means that she feels that she is in debt to Private Jenkins "The Uniter". Thus, she'll do anything to protect those that are related to him, even if she has to risk her career in the process.
Preferred weapons: K-bar fighting knife, Desert Eagle service pistol, fifty caliber, a Colt revolver, forty-five caliber *note, this was the same revolver that Redclaws had*, and a tranquilizer pistol, a must for officers training recruits, especially those who need to learn that their fellow recruits are not to be eaten by them.
Or, someone else?
