Personality
Born into a farming family, Isaac has been a hard worker since birth, and is unwaveringly loyal to his teammates and the Empire. The Army garrison stationed near where he lived greatly improved the area's security as the local pirate gangs were swiftly put down. This is what lead lead to Isaac's admiration of the Empire and its values. Some could say his loyalty was bordering on fanatic, but he's just very energetic and enthusiastic.
While he can seem a bit pyromaniacal at times, Isaac is simply just good with explosives, and takes satisfaction in completing his objective. Anybody working or fighting against the Empire is seen by as Isaac as somebody to get rid of, especially dissidents, Mandalorians, and other barbaric riffraff.
Death Trooper training served to harden Isaac to the realities of the government he serves. He sees the more amoral actions he's ordered to do as means to an end, a means to secure a better future, and as such carries out said orders with little remorse. When on duty he tends to be serious and stay focused on mission, eagerly diving into his work. The usual inane banter of his squadmates usually manages to either amuse or annoy him, dependant on the situation at hand. Off-duty he's more relaxed and easy going, though he never completely drops his guard.
Appearance
Isaac is of an average build, and while not overly muscular, he has a fair amount of muscle tone and keeps himself in shape as any good Trooper would. His red hair is usually cut short, and he keeps his face clean shaven. A scar extends from the outside corner of his right eye to his ear, and that same eye has been replaced with a cybernetic. Long periods of time spent in full-seal armor hasn't given him much sun exposure. And as such Isaac has a very light skin tone. For formal occasions and ceremonies, he wears his dress uniform.
Attributes
His childhood of working on a farm means Isaac is a hard worker, who's energetic when he's enjoying what he's doing. The plus side of this is that even if he doesn't necessarily like what he's doing, he'll still dig in and work until the task is done. He's loyal to his friends and the Empire, and gives no mercy to enemies of the state. For reasons he refuses to discuss,
flying within a planet's atmosphere makes him uneasy,
bordering on scared. Additionally, after losing an eye in an engagement with Mandalorian raiders, Isaac developed a burning hatred of the T-visor wearing warriors, and he takes any oppurtunity he can to cause them pain.
Having specialized in combat engineering while still in the Stormtrooper Corps, Isaac is an expert on demolitions and the more technical aspects of combat such as mine removal and placement, hardware manipulation, and expediting travel over unusual terrain. He utilizes a standard issue X-72 rifle as his primary weapon, preferring to devote as much of his carrying capacity to his demolitions/engineering equipment as he can.
Strengths:
+Expert combat engineer/sapper
+Good short to mid range Marksmanship.
+Determined and Loyal soldier
Weaknesses:
-Weak hand-to-hand combatant
-Afraid of atmospheric flying
-Vendetta against Mandalorians for taking his eye.
Biography
Isaac was born in a small town in the foothills of a mountain range on Rishi. His parents were simple farmers, raisimg a small herd of nerf on their homestead just outside of town. As soon as he was old enough, Isaac began helping around the farm, and continued to do so for a number of years. Sometime around his eighteenth birthday, the town was set upon by members of a local pirate gang. Fearing for his family and livestock, Isaac's father sent out a distress call, then prepared to defend his home alongside his son. Just as it seemed they were to be overrun, a squad of Stormtroopers arrrived. The troopers in their gleaming white armor swept through the town, swiftly and efficiently eradicating the pirates and saving the town.
Awestruck and inspired by this display of military might, Isaac found himself leaving home not more than a month later, setting out to join the Third Galactic Empire. Training was a grueling experience, but Isaac prevailed, and was soon assigned as a support gunner to a platoon stationed on a planet at the edge of the Empire's territory. It was a fairly mundane post, full of mindless patrols through the nearby town and surrounding wilderness, at least until a Mandalorian raiding party arrived at the end of his first year there. Deployed to protect the north approach to the town, which came through a small canyon, Isaac and his squad held their own admirably against the enemy infantry. In an bid to punch through, the Mandalorians called in support from their armored vehicles. Isaac knew there was no way they'd hold the town if the enemy armor breached their line, but his unit had no AT weapons to use. As the vehicles came into sight, Isaac threw a thermal detonator at the canyon wall in desperation, hoping to at least slow the advance. Surprisingly, the blast knocked loose a large rock outcropping near top of the canyon, collapsing it onto the vehicles and blocking off that approach into town.
With the north secure, Isaac's unit was redirected to reinforce the unit to their south, who were pinned down by the Mandalorians' shock troops. Arriving on scene, Isaac took cover behind a low wall with his comrades, observing the scene. Suddenly a Mandalorian popped up from behind a nearby cart and lobbed a grenade into Isaac's position. Crying out in panic, Isaac tucked and rolled over the wall, his reaction unfortunately a fraction of second too slow. As he crested the wall, the grenade detonated, and a piece of shrapnel punched through his helmet's eyepiece and tore out his right eye. Screaming in fury and pain, fueled by bloodlust and adrenaline, Isaac stood and charged the Mandalorian grenadier. Caught off guard, the man yelped as Isaac tackled him to the ground and ripped his helmet off. Raising the hefty piece of beskar over his head, Isaac brought it down hard, once, twice, thrice, and a final fourth time on its owner's head, ending him. Dropping the helm to the ground, Isaac finally slumped over from the pain, passing out.
He awoke in his base's infirmary to the news that the raiders had been repelled, and he was being sent off for specialist training to allow time for his eye to heal and for him to adjust to its cybernetic replacement. His creative method of disabling the enemy vehicles had drawn the attention of the Corps' engineering brigade, and he was soon taught the finer points of combat engineering. He served in this new role admirably for two years before applying for enlistment into the ranks of Death Trooper Command. With such an exemplary service record under his belt, he was accepted, and after surviving the demanding training proccess, Isaac proudly accepted his new designation number and gleaming black armor.
