Eric Sunderland

Appearance
His clothing choice resembles a Victorian steam punk/ post-apocalyptic/film noir style; white long sleeve shirt, navy blue vest, black silk tie (medium size), dark brown slacks with white stripes, black gloves that resemble gloves used in a trade and a black cotton coat. Underneath he wears black skins to keep himself warm, his boots are dark brown, and the sole gripping is engineered for use in the snow. On his shins are two pieces of metal that have been smithed to cover his shins as armour. On his left forearm (gun wielding hand), there is a leather brace with a sheet of metal bolted onto it; the enforcer star is engraved on it, proving the legitimacy of his position of the law. His accessories, on his right there is a holster custom made of metal scrapping and leather to keep it in place, it is located on the side of his rib cage for easy access when pulling the gun from his coat. An optical eye patch on his right, this helps him see in the dark, see clearly through the snow, and zoom into the distance. No other technology is used as the post apocalyptic future has destroyed post tech. Lastly, his gun is a XIX Desert Eagle 10inch, shoots .50 cal bullets; the gun itself looks like a revolver with the barrel becoming skinny with a sight at the end which gives Eric a Western/Steampunk kind of look. The gun was given to him by his master; engraved on the side reads, "Cordelia" the name of his wife who died protecting him.

Personality
Eric's mannerisms and behaviours are strange, whose mentality shouldn't be affected by normal feelings of compassion or sorrow due to past trauma. Eric acts upon these emotions regardless, making him somewhat unreadable. He displays a love for his comrades who treasures so dearly, however that can also be the source of weakness in battle at most times. Eric is a nonchalant man, when he meets people at firsthe can be a bit serious and slightly judgmental; however, when he warms up to the people around him he can joke around in a care free way. Eric would pass up any chance in being a leader, since he knows that he wasn’t born a leader because of his mentality of people taking lead end in causalities, just like what happened with the mission with his brothers; yet, he would do anything for the people he needs to protect.

Background
What kind of world did the character live in before coming to the multiverse town?

In the future of 2058, or more commonly known as 44A.E. (After Extermination),44 years after World War Three and the use of atomic bombs have caused the earth hurt on March 15th, 2014. Build smoke, atomic clouds, all gasses covered the skies and created nuclear darkness. Because of this it started to snow, everywhere, Africa had blizzards and Canada was known as the ice-lands. After years of survival, humanity adapted to the new weather, and the passing of nuclear clouds every so often that it became the norm. Because of the cold, and the war that caused destruction, technology was lost and humans were sent back to the stone age. That is until they started to use a valuable resource; steam was easy to maintain, and benefited everyone in the cold-lands. Smithing, Farming, and Hunting became very resourceful trades, and only some towns were able to colonise unless they didn't use their resources correctly, or they were not protected from the evils outside of their own colonies. This is were Eric gets the obsession of looking at the sky, as it is darkened by smoke, and most current generations don't even know what blue skies and stars look like. The town of Rowen is where he grew up in, it is a small town in the same location that St. Charles Missouri used to be. The town looks like a western village with wooden insulated buildings to keep out the cold. There is a steam factory that runs a pipeline to homes for heating, and a town hall that is used for council meetings, which Eric is apart of, and steam mechanical engineering.

What kind of situation did the character exist in before coming to the multiverse town?

Eric is known to be one of the youngest and fearsome gunslinger that takes any mission and sees it through to the end. Wherever he goes he leaves destruction and dismantled colonies in a political sense, meaning that he exposes people for whom they really are for no extra charge (he believe the corrupt should be punished regardless). On the contrary he is very well known as the enforcer that enforces his own judgement onto others, even if it doesn't equate to the standing law. This is where he got his unofficial title as, "The Judge of Rowen."

Did your character have any family and friends?

As a little boy growing up in a winter apocalypse was the norm, along with radiation clouds, cannibals and mutated sea lions. In his colony a pandemic was spreading, Eric was unfortunate that his parents were infected. Eric was separated from them when he was only nine years old, he was then put into a home for boys. It was learnt through the Russians that recruiting agents with backgrounds of a lost loved one may result to the perfect agent, because death is something that is already seen, and their mentality can withhold the burden of killing another human. This home provided these children with skills. These children grew up as a family of brothers, each of them with a different set of skills. On their sixteenth birthday, Eric and his four brothers, Blaise, Alexander, Claude and Sebastian were sent on a mission down state from their home in Rowen. Unfortunately, their mission to retrieve a certain person was not successful. Little did they know the man they were after was a serial killer by the name of Keetes who would skin his victims, ice the limbs and arrange them as 'art'. It was unknown that he also had a group protecting him that made the mission go south. Eric's brothers shared the same fate. Eric was the only one who got away before collapsing in the middle of the snowy mountainsides. A man named Bartholomew rescued Eric, and mended him physically, but his mentality was in ruins. Eric returned to his town with the sad news, however, there parents were not there to cry, nor did anyone know about them to care. Eric went on mission after mission, loosing himself in the darkness that engulfed the memories of that traumatic day. His foster father could see that he just wanted to die, but with a purpose just so he could see his brothers again. His foster father then made him a mentor and gave him five children to train, however when the children did not meet his expectations of teamwork or companionship, he would send them back to his foster father saying that they failed the test, and that they must be sent back to school because they are not knowledgeable enough. This took another few more times until he met a group that reminded him of his own brothers, yet with everything he expected out of group. Teamwork and companionship are the two things he admires, because he believes without it people would share the same fate as his brothers, and it is something he will not allow to happen ever again. One day after picking up food for the boys he met one of the teachers named Cordelia, she was confused and slightly distraught to why he would send the others back to the academy and refuse to tutor them. They then met together every Friday afternoon, she started to understand Eric's point of view and Eric started to feel the gap within his heart, after a year and a half Eric proposed and Cordelia accepted,their wedding was in the usual white background by the same surrounding mountains. However, nice things and nice feelings can only last for so long. Cordelia was killed. A group came into the town, holding up the farmers and reaping the stock. Eric arrived and noticed that it was the same group that killed his brothers, however there were a few missing along with Keetes the true villain. After a vicious battle, the fighting was coming to an end, one of the men reached for his riffle and aimed it at Eric, by the time Eric had heard the sound of the gun coking back, he noticed Cordelia falling to the ground as she protected him for harms way. Eric killed the man and sat by her side until she drifted away. Killing the man was the only thing he could do to avenge her. Her last words were, "I will always be there fighting beside you, protecting you from evil..." Cordelia was then gone, as he buried her next to the grave of his brothers. On that night he engraved Cordelia's name on the side of his 10inch handgun, making her words reality, and not a fake promise. Afterwards he gained acquaintances along the way, but friends were out of the question. His now sons were his family, but on the day that he disappeared into the multiverse, was also the day people believed he had died before their very eyes. Leaving the boys alone under the care of his foster father, and Eric knows they wont forget his face, just like he doesn't forget his own father.

How did your character arrive in the multiverse town?

In his world they were trying to create a weather device that would suck up all the smoke covering the ozone. In turn, this would clear the skies and send the earth back to its usual habitat before the war commenced. However a malfunction occurred, the machine went into override. Beams of electricity were going all over the place, people started to panic and run; Eric tried to help people through the door to make it to safety, but by the time it was his turn to leave an electric beam shot at him. To everyone's eyes it looked like the high voltage of electricity had destroyed his body to ash; however, to Eric surprise it was a gateway to the multiverse. At first he thought that the device had worked because he could see the stars for the very first time, but he soon came to his senses and realised that he wasn't in Rowen anymore.

How long has your character been in the multiverse town?

Just arrived

Does your character wish to leave the multiverse town and return home and/or a different universe?

Eric hates imitations, fakes and false hope, and even thought the world that he is in, is what he wants his own world to be like. He doesn't want to desert the humanity he left behind, as he wants everyone to experience the sky that he has seen.
