MP11 - Option 2

Backstory
Travis Lake was abandoned by his parents at the age of 8 months, and was taken in by an orphanage. He grew up there until the age of 16, and it is all he knows of the definition of home. He is deaf, but his handicap has never held him back from doing anything he wanted to do. He is also quite small, around 5'6", so he often relies on his mental abilities rather than his physical abilities. Since he was never physically dominate, and was often bullied by others at the orphanage for being small and different, he was motivated to become a soldier when he reached the age of 16 in order to increase his physical strength. Although he did become significantly stronger, his main focus when he became a soldier was not getting stronger, but becoming a skilled shooter. He quickly learned that a great soldier can be defined by incredible marksmanship. Soon enough, he was awarded the best marksman of his platoon because of his accurate skills with both a pistol and a sniper rifle. Along the way, he aslo made great relationships with his platoon, and considers them as family.






Positive Traits
- Growing up in an orphanage until the age of 16, he learned quickly that relationships don't last forever.  His two only friends that he grew close with at the orphanage were adopted when he was 9, and then he never saw them again. As a result, he creates very strong relationships with people quickly because he realizes that they might not be there forever. He developed a great relationship with his platoon, and strongly believes in "no soldier left behind." If a hostage situation were to occur, he'd be the man to go in and save them.
- He was awarded the best marksman of his platoon. He is extremely skilled with a pistol and an extremely accurate marksman. He is skilled with all guns, but his pistol is his weapon of choice.
- He has a small stature, but because of this he is extremely quick-witted. He always had to outsmart bigger and stronger opponents which made him rely on his intelligence often to get things done.

Negative Traits
- Because of his small stature, he can not move as quickly when carrying a rifle or other heavy weapon. He is very skilled using weapons, but if it requires two hands to carry it slows him down significantly.
- He is not the strongest soldier and he needs to rely on his shooting skill and wit more often then his strength. He is not great in hand-to-hand combat. He is mentally strong, rather than physically strong, which may seem uncharacteristic of a soldier.
- He is deaf. He relies on his eyesight more than anything, and he must be very careful when walking around corners. Since he does not know something exists until he sees it, he often walks himself into troubling situations, for he can not hear danger.
