"Barrell Roll comes from an army family. The Stalls have always had a member in the army for as long as they can remember. His older brother joined and when it came his turn, Barrell Roll followed his love for the sky and joined the Air Force to become a fighter pilot. He had received his pilot's liscense even before getting his driver's liscense. Became one of the youngest fighter pilots ever. Well on a top secret mission he was shot down behind enemy lines. He barely made it back to safety. Realizing that he wasn't prepared for it to ever happen again, he transfered to the Army and joined the Rangers, so he'd be prepared for combat on the ground. Like everything he does, he excelled and quickly became an Airborne Ranger. He takes special pride in being able to fight at an elite level in the air and on the ground. Has been thinking of taking SEaL training in his spare time."
"Barrell Roll is a perfectionist and overachiever. If he does something, he'll be one of the best at it. This would annoy his teammates if he had anything resembling an inflated ego. He knows he's good, but he also knows he's not the best. His biggest flaw is that he will go out of his way to repair the Stall family name that he feels his older brother tarnished with his defection to Cobra."
Need some help fleshing it out and making it read better.
Troynos, I like what you're trying to do, but I have a few questions with some of what you've written. Barrel Roll is a great character, and the DDP/File card inconsistencies drive me crazy, too.
Are you keeping him as an Officer? Because every pilot in the Air Force is an Officer, and once you're any kind of Commissioned Officer they don't let you re-enlist as an enlisted soldier in any branch of service.
I'm not sure what you mean by taking SEAL training in his "spare time"? BUD/S is intense... there's no "part time" SEAL training.
If he didn't have the nerve to get back up in a Jet to fly again because he was afraid of getting shot down again, he wouldn't have the stuff to make it as a Ranger. I've never met a pilot who I thought was as mentally tough as a Ranger. Smarter? Sure. Pilots are often very intelligent. But tougher? Mentally tougher? Pilots are very focused, but Rangers define Tough.
