The Burrowers part 1

Prior to their immediate displacement, our group of Mercenaries had their fulfilled life. Of course, it wasn't a life of roses as they faced death situations many times, They went with the name "The Burrowers" and took job requests that they could achieve. In some scenarios, they meet the unexpected but luckily with Mustapha's tenacity, charisma, and Germaine's smarts they always pull through somehow.

The band consisted of seven well-trained individuals, each with their bit of interesting backstory. Starting with the catalyst for the group's creation Sanchez.

Sanchez a former US soldier amongst them brought up the idea of forming a group for private gain as he felt useless after leaving the army, he tried many other jobs that were recommended to him by his friends and family but he found them lackluster, they lacked the feeling of excitement one feels in a life-death situation he thought.

Sanchez as his name suggested was Hispanic. He has black short hair and usually with a well-cut beard to match, keen blue eyes, a considerable tall height, and a muscular build. He had a face that couldn't go for anything aside from handsome and he had brains with it.

After weeks of brainstorming for a suitable job, returning to the army was no longer an option for him. He thought " I'll form a band of mercenaries" that way I wouldn't be bothered with too many formalities and shitty people.

" I have to include capable people, good thing I have the connection," he thought with a wide grin feeling proud of himself as he stared at the TV right in front of him.

Sanchez was known to be a respectable hotheaded guy. He was assertive and frowned against any form of disrespect towards him. He is your ideal image of a good strong guy.

His current life can be said to have resulted from the immemorable event that happened. Five years prior to now that he had left the army, he had a nice family that relied on him. A family of his wife, their two years old boy, and himself. Traveling for occupational reasons, he wasn't always with them but even with that, they had always been ok and accepted it. One day, he suddenly received a detrimental blow as news of terrorism that took place in his area got to him.

Just as he feared, his family went down with it. His supposedly perfect life crumbled before him and he went through phases of depression. Some weeks later, he came to a resolution, he vowed to do everything in his power to prevent other families from facing his circumstances and judged that joining the army was a good way to go about it.

After some years, he realized that he wasn't living his life. That the burden of his loved ones' death was holding him back from doing what he really wants. He then decided to leave the army. His years in the army weren't a waste as he got the experience of a veteran, he's an expert in Martial arts particularly jujitsu and karate, an expert in gun shooting. His skills were a great asset to the group however his biggest contribution was introducing his close friend Sasha.

Sasha just like him was a US soldier, they met during a joint mission and somehow warmed up to each other later leading to a bond of friendship. Sasha had black-brown short hair, a slim flexible build, brown-colored Iris, and an average height, she had a bit of a masculine outlook and appeared to be around her early twenties. Just like Sanchez, she was proficient in some martial arts practices.

She had no interesting family background as she was born an orphan, she's an alcoholic and she was free-spirited.

She left the army after Sanchez scouted her to be one of his members and she had been a member ever since then. Being a founding member just like Sanchez, she held a high sense of responsibility for her comrades.
