Achilles

Character name: Achilles (real name: Auguste Mandel) Age: 25 Gender: male Species/origin: human (noob from the Republic of Nusia in the Dummies vs Noobs universe) Profession/role: former tax officer; reservist in the Special Infantry Force no. 5, junior corporal); sent to the front as a soldier during the Great War in accordance with the Military Advancement Act of 2044. In combat, he acts as a specialised sniper, wielding advanced weapons and gadgets.

Appearance: Achilles is a thin, somewhat short young man with yellow skin and strikingly long blond hair, which falls to his shoulders due to a rare condition. He is very self-conscious about this and always tries to hide his hair under a wide-brimmed boonie hat (often black or dark in colour for camouflage). His face is partially hidden by a black mask or bandana covering his mouth and nose, giving him a secretive appearance. He has sharp, intense black eyes that reveal a mixture of determination and hidden nervousness. His clothing is tactical and bright, in the style of the Nusian troops: a blue jacket or upper armour with yellow accents, combined with bright green trousers for better visibility in team operations. He carries a massive high-tech weapon called the Armour Peeler, a blue-grey long-barrelled sniper rifle (DMR) equipped with advanced targeting systems and capable of piercing armour. He is accompanied by a small hovering drone that deploys a protective force field, often hovering nearby like a faithful companion. In quiet moments, he may fiddle with his hat or hair, and his posture is slightly hunched, reflecting his self-consciousness.

Personality: Achilles is introverted, awkward, and often anxious, especially in social situations. He is very self-conscious about his long hair, which causes him to avoid attention and often try to hide it. He becomes particularly nervous around women, stuttering, blushing, or avoiding eye contact altogether, due to his lack of romantic experience. Despite this, he is intelligent and resourceful, relying more on gadgets and technology than brute force, which gives him a reputation for being smart but "weak" in direct confrontations. He has a dry, sarcastic sense of humour and sometimes jokes about his own difficulties, for example, complaining about a minor injury as if it were a catastrophe. Deep down, he is devoted and loyal to his country, but the horrors of war have caused him to question his path, leading to moments of melancholy or self-analysis. In combat, he switches to focused, tactical thinking, blocking areas with precise shots, but panics if his equipment malfunctions. He is not aggressive by nature — more of a support player who prefers strategy over frontline fighting. Positive traits include compassion for his comrades-in-arms and a hidden passion for music. Negative traits: excessive reliance on tools, low self-confidence, and a tendency to retreat when he feels overwhelmed.
