Name: Jared Hill
Age: 19
Race: Human (caucasian)
Hair Color: Black
Eye Color: Grey
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: 185lbs
Occupation: Farmer/Soldier
Personality: Much like everyone else in the Confederate army, Jared is an easygoing, relaxed man with little concern with authority. He has a slow manner of speaking, which many construe with slow thought, but he takes the time to think everything through from all angles if given the time.
Appearance: Dressed in butternut grey pants and jacket, Jared is short and whipcord lean from the long years of the war. His clothes are tattered and patched in many places, and are the only garments he owns.
History: Jared was an armorer in General Lewis Armistead's brigade at the battle of Gettysburg. He is one of very few survivors that actually saw the High Water Mark, and fought with the general at Gettysburg. As far as Jared is aware, it is the year 1865, the Confederacy is on its last legs, and the Union army is closing in on Richmond. When he disappeared from his work bench, he was stripping down a captured Sharps breechloader, and his personal Colt Revolver. He has unfortunately lost the breech block for his rifle, and the chamber for his revolver due to being transported through the dimensions. He found it quite disturbing when he found that he spoke rthe local language, and recognized that it was not english. The mage that had captured him said something about a "service being owed." Jared responded by refusing, violently. The mage did not survive the experience, though a few new holes were added to his already ragged garments.
Skills:
Marksmanship(Firearms): Jared is an above average shot with a properly zeroed rifle, out to about 200 yards. If given a scoped rifle, his range increases to nearly 400 yards. With a pistol he is accurate out to 75 yards.
Saber: Jared retrieved general Armisteads saber when he was killed, and still carries it, he is not very proficient in its use, but as a hacking and slashing weapon, he gets by. He has average skill with the saber.
Bowie Knife: His fighting knife, it is nearly a short sword, at 14 inches in blade length. He is an average fighter with it.
Bayonet: He still retains the bayonet for his rifle, and can use it as a spear in a pinch. He is an average fighter with his bayonetted rifle.
Forester: As a farmer turned soldier, Jared has many useful skills for foresting, from the ability to build snares for small game, or to effectively stalk and kill large game with a proper weapon. Jared can also perform all the tasks required of a pre-industrial farmer.
Equipment:
Sharps Rifle: Jared has no ammunition and is missing a critical part to operate it. He can still use it as a short spear with its bayonet.
Smith and Wesson Revolver: Chambered in .45 Schofield, this weapon is useless, as its cylinder is missing.
Saber: His saber is a solid steel blade with basket hilted guard.
Bowie: This is a massive fighting knife with a back clipped blade and thick crossguards.
Pack: Jared was lucky, and had his pack nearby, which contains a few days worth of rations, and his bedroll and camp tools.
