Name: Karl Williams
Nicknames: Gunner, Gun
Age: 21
Date of birth: 4th September 1988
Greek House: Alpha Delta Phi, Social Chair
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Personality:
Gunner can be perceived in very different ways. For most he is one of those people you either love or hate. He has very many friends but just as many enemies, forever the charming scoundrel. Gunner is extremely outgoing and confident to the point of arrogance. Modesty does not come naturally to him, he likes to boast about his talents and successes, aiming to impress people. He knows he is arrogant but does nothing to change the fact because he believes that he has a right to be. He is a very good talker, someone who engages his audience and is never overlooked. He is a very social creature; he gravitates towards people and never hesitated to strike up conversation.
He has a strong sense of mischief; he will never miss out on an opportunity to have fun. However his rebellious nature leads to this ‘fun’ sometimes taking the form of illegal of morally questionable activities. He has a good sense of humour and is one of the lads, always the first to suggest a night out. The first into a bar, the last to leave, usually with an attractive woman on his arm. He is unashamedly a player, he doesn’t commit and those few times he has been in a long term relationship he has cheated on his girlfriend without exception. He is a notorious flirt, single or otherwise, Gunner doesn’t mind, as long as they are attractive enough (or he’s drunk enough) he’ll try and sweet talk his way into their pants.
Gunner has an image he liked to maintain. He wants to be the butch, tough one, at the same time, the ladies man. There is something very masculine about him which nears homophobia. Many of his actions seem driven by vast amounts of testosterone, such as his screwing around and his fighting. Gun loves to fight; there is something in it that gives him immense satisfaction and thrill. He loves the power it gives him over other people, there are few things he enjoys more than beating the living daylights out of someone. He is a stubborn fighter who refuses to give up; he won’t stop trying until he’s unconscious. He has to win.
He is very competitive in everything he does; he turns it all into a competition. This could be trying to seduce the hottest girl in the club or swimming the most laps. Above all he is a very bad loser, he can’t stand to lose. In one way his competitive side has given him an advantage in life. He is extremely fit and strong, always training longest ad hardest. However this is hampered a little by his inclination to smoke (he’s been giving up for the past 3 years) and drink till he’s sick.
He has a tendency to pick on those who are weak and different. He is a bully no doubt about it. At school he was the one the geeky kids were terrified of, turning verbal abuse quickly into physical as the mood took him, he truly believed he was better than those he victimised. He feels no remorse on beating down someone weaker than him, though he is hesitate when it comes to hurting women. When he is angry he is not someone to cross, commonly lashing out at strangers.
Despite all this Gunner is a solid and loyal friend to those he like. Though not the most sensitive he will be there for his friends when they need him, with a pat on the back and some well intentioned, if somewhat misguided, advice. He won’t tolerate anyone putting his friends down or trying to hurt them. He will fight and defend them to the end and makes it clear that messing with them is messing with him.

Sample RP:
Ducking and weaving Gunner circled his opponent, smirking at him in a way that unnerved. His hands were curled into loose fists that hung by his sides as he bounced on the balls of his feet. The other man held his fists up in front of his face in a boxing fashion; look determined but a little nervous. Neither of the boys wore gloves with which to fight. Their naked torso’s shined under the street lighting, Gunner was the shorter of the two, but he made up for it in the size of his muscles.
A grin flashing across his face, Gunner suddenly feinted forward, provoking a jab from the boxer; however as the fist cut through the air Gun had already spun out of its path. Suddenly the man was pitching forward, after his punch, as Gunner carried through on his spin with a kick, his ankle hooking round the back of his opponent’s neck and throwing him down. Laughter broke through the air from the crowd that created the ring.
Not giving his opponent a chance to recover Gun went to deliver a follow up to his underbelly; however the man wasn’t done yet. Before the foot made contact he rolled off his hands and knees, putting distance between him and Gun, giving him time to leap to his feet unharmed, regaining his stance. Gunner grinned at the boxer who responded with a glare and a feint to his head.
Gunner flinched back and started looking for openings once more, testing the boxer’s guard. They faced one another off, suddenly Gunner moved; his fist streaked out towards the man’s head, allowing him to block it with his guard. Unfortunately the block blinded him to the foot that drove into the back of his knee.
The boxer’s bellow was drowned out but the excited jeer of the young crowd. The revelled in the darker side of human nature, the thrill of mindless violence. Testosterone fuelled males enjoying the beating of a competitor, their girlfriends fainting distaste at their side, using the excuse to press close to their men. They had come here for bloodshed, Gunner Willaims was not one to disappoint.
Gun stepped off as the man straightened out his buckled leg, enjoying the pained expression on his face.
“Sting does it?” There was a taunt beneath the friendly tone that the challenger picked up on, anger flashed across his face and he charged at Gunner.
Pain split his cheek and the man’s first punch made contact, Gunner’s mouth opened in surprise but he pulled back sharply, bending his body back to dodge the next as he stepped away. On the third swing Gunner seized the aggressors’ wrist, twisting it round and seizing the man’s neck to hold him down.
“Lucky one.” He reasoned.
“Lucks got nothing to do with it.” The boxer growled at him. Gunner laughed, releasing him and stepping away again.
“Let’s see it again then!”
This time as the first fist flew Gunner stepped in. Within moments the man found his feet leaving the floor and his back meeting it with jarring force. He looked up into a fist. Gunner held the man down with one hand as his knuckles ploughed again and again into his opponents face, his expression was grim satisfaction. The crowd called for more. By the time Gunner stepped off blood covered his knuckles, but it was nothing in comparison to that which poured from the loser’s ruined face.
