[Erin Masters]

Character Name: Erin
Rank: Corporal
What Army Will You Serve Beneath? : New Zealand
Nationality: Maori
Character History:

Erin "Cherry" Masters had once lived a peaceful and simple life amongst the luscious valleys and farms of New Zealand, but all that had changed once the war broke out.
Having been drafted into the army at the age of 23(Any chance of us forming the 2nd New Zealand Division?), Erin soon found comfort in the position of a sniper. He had had plenty of shooting practice on the farms as a kid and after single campaign, was promoted for signs of bravery, leadership and outstanding marksmanship.
Erin had always been the life of the party, always full of energy... but of course that was before he witnessed the horrors of war. It cast him into a cold and focused state of mind, giving him but a single objective - get out of this thing alive.

Writing Sample:

Things weren't quite going to plan. Erin's squad had been ambushed and everyone had split into the bush. Amongst all the chaos, he had managed to drift from the rest of his allies. Pulling his M1 Garand up to aim, Erin cautiously moved back in the general direction he was fleeing from moments ago. A deathly silence had filled the air and he was starting to get twitchy - jumping at every sound and rustle of the bushes. "Just keep calm, remember your training" He repeated to himself in his thoughts. Sweat dripped down his face and he halted for a slight moment. His breathing had now become heavy and forced...
Suddenly, a figure emerged from the bushes. Erin's barrel was immediately swung in the newcomers direction.
"God damn, Cherry, I'm lucky you didn't blow my bloody head off!" chuckled his comrade. Two more of his allies revealed themselves, causing Erin to relax his grip on his weapon and lower it slightly. But before another word could be said, the horrific sound of a German rifle blasted and one of the Allied soldiers dropped lifelessly onto the ground. The rest threw themselves into the cover of the foliage, turning towards the 3 enemy soldiers about 300 metres away. Erin's weapon was the first to fire, bringing down a standing Nazi with three shots to the throat. The two groups - who were now all in the prone position - carried on exchanging fire; however no rounds hit their mark. Erin stopped for a moment, closed his eyes and focused. Bullets flew narrowly past him but he kept still and did not fire a single round. Opening his eyes, he took aim and fired one shot. A spray of blood confirmed the hit. Noticing the death of his comrades, the final German attempted to flee, only to be gunned down by the other members of the squad. Though he was still shaky he knew there was no time for rest. "Come on guys, let's finish this" he said, leaping back into action...
