PERSONALITY
i would like to say i'm pretty laid back. i've learned to take things as they come, but however i do have an opinion and i will speak my mind. with us being assigned to small third world towns to offer their protection, we're cut off from most of the things that are 'in' in america, but we do get out tastes of technology here and there, but for that fact i'd like to say i'm old fashioned. so many things today are based off of people being lazy rather than the excuse they pen as 'more efficient'. i'm a firm believer in getting off your ass and doing things for yourself, and making things pan out the way you want it. i'm not afraid to work hard at all.
but don't get me wrong, the guys and i do sit around and shoot the shit. cards and big for us, we bet whatever we have, but everything ends up getting back to you anyways. being in the military gets lonely, but you end up having a second family. for people who mean the most to me i'll do whatever it takes to keep them safe and happy. nothing is out the question. i do miss america though, one day when i've accomplished what i'd wanted to in the marines, i'll come back and settle down. it's just not in the cards for me right now.

FAMILY LIFE
i was raised solely by my grandparents nicholai and selina argen, after my mother decided that a child wasn't really her thing right now. they are my heart and soul, the sweetest people i've ever known. each one reminds me of uncle ben and aunt may from spiderman. each is so loving and caring, with a satisfaction for the life they live, despite their daughter's decisions. they're the only ones i bother to keep in contact with. my mother was always too busy on the hunt for her newest boyfriend.
PARENTS/SIBLINGS
nicola argen, 46, bartender: my mother and i don't have much of a relationship. she tries but she has no idea what kind of compassion to pass on to a child so me and her have no relationship.
nicholai & selina argen, 68, retired: raised me, taught me to be a gracious young man with my head on straight. they're the only ones i have to worry about in my life. as long as their okay, and taken care of financially, and all around, then i'm fine.

HISTORY
i was born los angeles where my father and mother met while they both were attending school at ucla and met through my mother's roommate. the connection between the two was unmatched by anything the two had ever experienced before but they'd both misinterpreted this feeling of intense lust for love instead and vowed that they were the ones that would spend the rest of their lives together. they were inseparable while no real consequences faced them but when my mother became pregnant, things began to crumble. believing that a baby would be the kick start to their life together that they'd needed, my mother was floored with happiness but my father on the other hand was floored with another emotion. you see matteo wasn't ready to leave his life of practically newfound freedom to be thrust into an adult life.
fighting this feeling, he pulled through....sort of. he attempted to be there for my mother as he used money from his local job to get them an apartment in a relatively shitty area, so they could live together since nicola could no longer continue school. all went slightly well up until the end of her pregnancy when nicola could begin to sense the distance between herself and matteo despite them living in the same apartment. and yet when she gave birth it's like once again all that went out the window, and the same way they'd felt about each other when they'd first got together. the baby bliss last only for a week after they'd brought me home. when it came time to start to care for me, matteo freaked and left town for his home in north carolina where his parents were, never speaking of the child he'd helped to make. left completely alone, my mother scampered back to her parents where she seemed serious about finishing her education, getting a job and creating a good environment to raise her child, but instead, she enrolled in classes at a local community college here in valkyrie, got a job as a bartender, and lived the young life that she otherwise wouldn't have gotten to if it weren't for my grandparents. despite all their efforts to knock some sense into her head, she wasn't changing, and instead they took me under their wing, and when she began to bring home a new boyfriend every week, they kicked her out of the house to prevent any kind of further daddy issues from my child mind.
with my mother off, scampering for whatever, my grandparents raised me. as a child i didn't test them, i had a feeling of what was going on, or that something was off but i knew that they were old, and never really had it in me to test them. i was normal for the most part or as normal as i could be but i knew that things would be hard for them when i got older. i had no college money set aside, my grades in school weren't bad but weren't great enough to get me a full scholarship anywhere. by the time the end of high school had come around, i knew what i wanted to do, the one thing i could do, join the military. i wanted to make them proud but i wanted to make something of myself to be able to be proud of later on in life. i entered with a mind set to not only fuck shit up, but to also get something from my experience, and i have.
to this point i've worked my way up to a lieutenant, and the goal is to at least get to staff sargeant, but for right now i'm on leave. the word is for a year, so i'm back in valkyrie to get some rest. im hoping, nothing pops up that i have to leave for.
