Name: Heinrich Strauss

Rank: PFC
Age: 25
Gender: Male
Physical Description:

Skillset:
Heinrich has an eye for explosives; he is very knowledgeable about their use and

implements, what compounds are better for different jobs. Coupling this with the
degree in mathematics he obtained he is capable of quickly solving demo
calculations in his head, giving the appearance of wild lucky guess work to those
who dont know better. He is also quite a brawler, and good with heavy machinery.
History:
Born in Escholzmatt to his single father, for his mother died delivering him, Heinrich
grew up somewhat rough. Escholzmatt is a mining town, and from a fairly young
age, only 13, Heinrich worked the mines with his father to help with increasing ore
demand. While this was going on, he still attended school, though his grades
suffered, however, the only class he still did well in was mathematics. The added
income from both he and his father working did help with money around the house
and they lived comfortably, muck more so that other miners who had to support
their families, and for this they were envied by their neighbors. While it never
proved too much of a problem, they were often left out, not openly shunned, just
not kept in the loop. This would all seem small in comparison to Heinrichs 18th
birthday, the day he would join the conscript forces, go off and go to college. The
day was wonderful, but dark, for the first time, he and his father would be truly
alone, separated from one another, the only friend they each had. And so with a
heavy heart and tearful eyes, Heinrich said goodbye to his father. But it would only
be for 2 years, and so Heinrich had hope to see him again after conscription. Where
his academia had suffered for his work, his physical heath had not. 5 years of
working the mines had made him strong, tough, able, and training was significantly
easier for Heinrich than for others, his marksmanship scores were average,
something that the others mocked him for, those that had come out of the more
rural hunting communities, who had grown up behind the gun. But it was no
laughing matter to face Heinrich hand to hand, where the other had marksmanship,
Heinrich had brawn and skill in a brawl, for there was more than one time he and his
father had gotten into a bar fight. After completing training, His instructors had
noticed his competence for close combat, and aptitude for demolitions, and sent
him to engineering courses for further training. Here Heinrich refine the knowledge
he obtained in the mines of blasting and extracting, learned of emplacing obstacles,
building fortifications, mine warfare, and a slew of other engineering tasks. During
his Engineer training, he attended college, majoring in mathematics, his only
academic subject worth mentioning, and obtained a degree. It all seemed Heinrich
was getting set for a bright future, but then work came, his father had died, cave in
in the mine, and Heinrich was all alone. He hadnt any real friends, only
acquaintances, no family to speak of, and his conscription was just about up. So
Heinrich went back home, buried his father, and was granted early release, he was
brought into the 3rd Jger Battalion as a resevest and went back to work in the
mine. But now war looms over Augstbert, and the reservists are being drawn up for
her defense.
Psychological Profile:

Heinrich is very methodical; there is no problem that cant be solved with the proper
application of force. However he is quick to anger and his fists are capable of a fair
bit of force.
Equipment:
- Gewehr m1891/14 - G91/14 ( Schmidt-Rubin 1896/11) - The younger characters
probably were issued the G34 when they were serving in the ranks, but there are
older marks as well, such as the G91/14 (which is an even older design
rechambered to a modern cartridge when the Principality switched calibers to
something modern). It is a much longer weapon, not nearly as handy as the G34,
and the G34 has a much more compact action; the sight radius is about the same,
though the barrel is considerably longer.
