Tommy Jackdaw
Tommy is a middle-aged man now, but when the Portal Storms began, he was only a teenager who had just turned sixteen. He was a farmhand in a family of farmers in the Scottish Highlands, living near a town. Fear was common during the storms, but news from other parts of the world made him and his fellow townsmen realize that they were much better off. Besides, they could live off the land as they have been for decades. Then, the sightings began. Friends and family went missing in the night. In the end, he was left only with his mother, dog, and extended family in London. He was eighteen when the ancient Caledonian Forest cropped up on his doorstep. At that moment, he and his mother decided to leave for greener pastures. Bound for London and unaccustomed to city life, Tommy spent most of his time taking care of his mother and his grandparents.
Tommy eventually joined the military, hoping to secure a better life for him and his family. He thought if he worked his butt off in the British Army he would be able to eventually buy a better home, far away from the chaos erupting around the globe. Unfortunately, his efforts attracted the attention of a Special Air Service officer in the 22nd SAS Regiment. He accepted reluctantly, knowing his fate would end in death, but at the very least his family's future would be well secured. He had just graduated the grueling selection and training process and was looking forward to some well-earned rest.
But that's when the Union came.
Tommy was involved in the fighting against the Combine. He watched as they butchered the men he fought alongside and the friends he made in the service. He watched as they sent barrages of artillery into his neighborhood, the last of his family reduced to dust with the house. He watched as machines of mind-numbing complexity, machines of a warped alien design; cold, relentless, murderous, invaded the city and demolished it within hours. Faced with no choice, Tommy retreated into the London Underground with hundreds of other civilians and soldiers.
With nothing to live for anymore, all Tommy wants is revenge.

Tommy is cold and calculating, owing to his lust for revenge and intense PTSD during the battle of London.
He is aloof, paranoid, and seems to have not slept for the past 13 years.
Some might even say that he has gone insane, and some report that they hear him muttering under his breath as he sits in the darkest corners of the Underground.
The mental and physical training he received as an SAS operative has held him together for this long. But how much longer will he last?
(I'm also fine with playing as just a normal soldier instead of an important character)
