Sarge

Background: Sarge (Real name unknown) is the illogical, Shotgun-wielding, grumpy old commander of the Blood Gulch Red Team. He likes to say one-liners.

Appearance: Standing at average height, Sarge wears a red Mark-VI Mjolnir Powered Assault Armor which he barely ever takes off.

Personality: A military man with a Southern United States accent, Sarge is the gruff and regimented leader of the Red Team. Sarge exhibits more discipline than the other Reds (and most of the Blues, for that matter), but is also somewhat sociopathic, bloodthirsty, and eccentric. He is also the only Blood Gulch soldier on either team that is actually serious about the war (or training exercise). Most of his actions and ideas involve violence, even when it's illogical. Although far from being as detached from reality as Caboose, Sarge's constant military rambling, illogical solutions, and irrational tendencies have suggested that he is one of the less sane characters in the Blood Gulch. Being a military man, Sarge is very determined, mostly to unreasonable levels, as he still persists to fight the Blues despite knowing the truth of both sides. Sarge is also incredibly adamant as he refuses advice from others while believing that he is always right. However, Sarge has the ability to be a loyal and compassionate leader and has come to rescue his troops and others from mortal danger. Barring Caboose, it could be argued that Sarge is one of the least sane members of the Reds and Blues. The vast majority of his time is spent focused on violence and the upcoming battles, even when there is no battle to look forward to. If there is no conflict within his view, Sarge will try his best to incite a conflict somewhere, in some way. Sarge is impulsive and borderline sociopathic in his attitude and words to other people, particularly Grif, but not limited to him. He will often come up with needlessly complicated and violent ways to kill Grif or harm him. He is incapable of adjusting to a peaceful life, going as far as creating an evil robot army and declare war on gravity, just to have an enemy to fight. This makes him very susceptible to insanity, paranoia, and manipulation. He also has a large ego. He refuses to acknowledge flaws in his plans. He may or may not have a son nicknamed Boomstick that he may or may not have abandoned.

Before he joined the military, He was a livestock judge. In his early military career he became an Orbital Shock-Drop Trooper and gained a fear of heights. He was kicked out of the ODSTs after he messed with a AI. He was then stationed in Sidewinder and would eventually be chosen as Red Team leader by the plans of Project Freelancer.

Abilities: Sarge has many abilities that aid him in his position of Super Colonel. Sarge expertly wields a Shotgun and considers it his most favorite weapon to the point he is never seen without it in or out of battle. Sarge is a expert mechanic and has knowledge of Robotics, repair and more. He can just about fix anything with a engine. Sarge can do basic surgery, having operated on his men before.

Relations: Grif: Sarge has openly held a deep hatred towards Grif arguably outweighing that of the Blue Team. The reasons being extreme laziness, disrespect, insubordination, and arguably his very existence. If an opportunity for Grif's removal presents itself, Sarge tries to take it. Sarge has improved relations with Grif. The two have developed some respect for each other, even if it is strained. Sarge seemed willing to listen to Grif, and will even follow his suggestions, and occasionally, even follow his orders at once.

Lopez: Sarge seems to regard Lopez as his best friend and machine, despite Lopez constantly insulting him and the Reds. Sarge, not knowing Spanish, thinks all the insults are compliments to his crazy plans and himself overall.

Simmons: Sarge's relationship with Simmons is more peaceful, although it is also strained, akin to a somewhat dysfunctional father-son relationship. Despite Simmons' sycophantic attitude toward Sarge, Sarge is quick to turn against him when a disagreement occurs. Simmons slowly believes that Sarge has no respect for him and begins to disobey several of his orders at times. However, Sarge does in fact have a high respect for Simmons' intellect and leadership qualities, saying that Command would have given Simmons his own squad a dozen times over.

Donut: Sarge seems to like Donut, never directly insulting him and respecting him as a teammate. However, he is sometimes disturbed by his strange sayings and fabulous actions. Sarge also considers Donut to be the Grenadier of the Red Team.

Caboose: Sarge seems to have a liking for Caboose, referring to him as "A little rascal" and even occasionally being friendly with him despite Caboose being apart of Blue Team.

Sister: Unlike her brother, Grif, Sarge does not seem to openly dislike or look down upon her. Also, when Sister went over to the Blue Team and was having a physical lead by Doc, he was not above seeing her naked and expressed some disappointment upon her getting redressed. Sister thinks Sarge is old and gross.
