User:Shrike Leonhart

Physical Description:


Shrike is a common Red Fox, who maintains a fit and trim figure, with broad shoulders and a respectably sturdy build. He wears his hair long in a braid, and his eyes are blue. Throughout his careers as a bounty hunter and oftentimes haphazard gunsmith, he's accumulated his share of war-wounds, the most prominant of which being significant facial scarring and the accompanying loss of his left eye to shrapnel, which he covers with a black eyepatch for cosmetic and sanitary reasons. Shrike's sense of fashion is mostly practical, his usual uniform consisting of a pair of olive fatigues, heavy-duty brown leather boots, and a white v-necked t-shirt. As a bounty hunter, bodyguard, and mercenary, he's often found about with a multitude of firearms. As he is naturally ambidexterous, he often carries the smaller ones in pairs.

Weapons:
Mr. Leonhart is known to carry many types of firearms, as his job requires and his personal tastes dictate. The most common ones, and those that his company, Leonhart Guncrafter Industries, manufacture, are listed here.

Max and Mina: A combination weapon formed of a Huot Automatic Rifle and a cutdown Ithica 37, Max and Mina is a concept that Shrike has finally perfected after several conceptual versions, which included a BAR and Auto-5 combo, and a M1 Garand and Model 1901 pair, niether of which functioned. Shrike considers Max and Mina to be his most ambitious project, and reserves the duo for his most violent and heated operations. This is in part due to the pride he holds for the weapon(s), but also due to the nature of the beast; Max and Mina weigh more than 25 pounds fully loaded, and are by no means pleasent to carry, especially on protracted missions.

Big Besse: Another of Shrike's personal chop-jobs, Big Besse started as an M1 Garand on a blueprint, and later became an automatic rifle built to feed from 50-round drums. Also a 'special occasions' weapon, due to minor feeding irregularites and substantial recoil.

The Lionheart:

The Lionheart is LGI's premium custom-made 1911 package, which includes several features not limited to trigger tunings, skeletonized hammer and trigger, several finish, grip, and checkering options, polished feed ramps, superior barrels, several different sights, and multiple caliber options, including .45 ACP, 9mm Luger, and .38 Super. Shrike carries one in .45 as part of his every-day carry ensemble, and a pair on his missions.

Colt Python:

Shrike's favorite gun. The Colt Python is known for being an exceptional weapon in nearly every regard. Shrike carries a version of the six shot, .357 Magnum revolver with a 4-inch barrel day to day, as a backup to his Lionheart, and a pair of 6-inch Pythons on his missions.

Steyr M1912:

A 9mm machine-pistol, Shrike occasionally takes a pair of these along with him on missions.

Relationships:
Angie Leonhart:

As his wife and the mother of his child, Shrike is very close with Angie, and trusts her with practically every aspect of his life. Assorted things, however, often worry him, namely, the dangerous nature of his work, and tension brought about with her previous relationship with Blakeman Spencer, who Shrike harbors a moderate dislike of to begin with.
