Description:
Sarge is a stern looking white man with an atheletic vigor and energy that hides his real age somewhere in his mid fourties behind a veneer of mid thirties youthfulness. He likes to stay ready for trouble so he wears his combat gear sans helmet even when not "working" unless it would be entirely inapporpriate, and throws a high-collared trench / duster over it to lend some softening grace. When he must dress in normal clothes he tends toward atheletic cut short sleeved tennis shirts and casual khaki slacks. Even when he doesn't wear boots he favors shoes that are as boot-like as possible or at least are pretty rugged. He still wears his dogtags and keeps his strawberry blonde hair in a rakish military cut.

PSYCH EVAL
Sarge is a no nonsense planner with an analytical mind and a very structured perspective. He sees things in very clear cut lines and can be inflexible once his mind is made up about something or has arrived at a particular expectation. Some have called him hidebound, others have gone so far as to call him retentive. Ruthless is another word that crops up from time to time, and uncomprimising isn't an unfair description either. Deep down Tom has a real frustration that he hit a glass ceiling in the Legion; he was determined to make it a lifetime occupation and make General. At some level he's proving to both himself and the world that his controlled strategic approach is often more valid than the by-the-seat-of-the-pants short term gain long term loss approach so many take. Patience and planning pay off. The last four years of Running have, he feels, demonstrated his ability to bring a structured approach to an often chaotic reality and be successful. In the back of his mind he's often mulled on the prospect of rejoining the Legion and resuming his career once Hallorhan retires (it can't be too long, the old buzzard is pushing 70 already), but time will tell.
SOUND BITE
"Dammit, just stick to the plan!"
PIZZAZ
Sarge has a well rounded education in the finer points of tactical armed conflict resolution and is broadly capable in the field. He can take on and be successful at many tasks and is always a good man to have on board. However, his lack of specialization also means that there is always someone more capable, better suited, or more experienced at any particular specific task. This is why Sarge works so well in a leadership position because he has a broad vision, is comfortable with delegating specific tasks to experts, and is also comfortable stepping up to fill in when necessary. In combat Sarge wears a suit of light power armor that he bought out from the Legion on retirement and maintains with regular mechanical upkeep and repair. He is broadly capable with guns and will carry either a pistol or assault rifle as the situation demands (lately he's been favoring a Sparhawk Caseless Autopistol due to it's impressive accuracy). Sarge's mild genetic advantages also grant him a powerful air of command, immunity to disease, and a very impressive tolerance for pain.

TUBER SCRAPPER / FACILITATOR

Sarge

Tom McCarthy was pracitically born into the Red Legion. His older father Bob was a Master Sergeant with over 30 years in, and his mother Linda was a fresh faced administrative assitant at the regional offices who caught his fancy. Bob exercised options in the company health plan to give Tom a genetic boost pre-conception (he needed in vitro assistance for a dwindled sperm count anyway, so why not), and Tom was born mildly enhanced.

Growing up in the Legions Anaheim San-San creche, Tom was always a magnetic personality and a leader amongst his fellow millitary brats. Not only did he receive a pretty good eduction in the sort of practical skills stressed by the Legion-funded school system he was also marked as an ideal future recruit into the Legion. And so he was; he entered the legion at 18 and quickly flew up the ranks, getting accepted into the Elites after just four years in and making Master Sergeant after only 12 years beating his father's mark by over half a decade. He was dubbed with the call sign "Rodin" due to his penchant for brooding over plans, but he never liked the name and prefered the more formal "Rank and Last Name" form of address (which further highlighted his hidebound retentiveness).

However Tom eventually had a career-stalling collision with one of the Legion's inner circle, General Hallorhan, a maneuver warfare afficianado and something of a maverick. Tom ended up, along with many others, assigned to Hallorhan for some really hairy work in the Southern American Economic Free Trade Zone crushing redneck guerrilla uprisings that threatened various corporate assets in the area. The rednecks were motivated and canny, and refused to engage in meaningful toe to toe conflicts, forcing the Legion to play whack-a-mole insurgent games. Tom was in charge of the mission's most elite strike team, responsible for hunting down and eliminating the redneck's leadership, a task he approached with his usual hyper-detailed planning and a methodical, relentless but not hurried pace. Tom's plan was to orchestrate a situation in which all or at least most of the redneck leadership would have to meet face to face with each other, and then strike to wipe them out in one fell swoop. Hallorhan on the other hand wanted immediate results and prefered that the leaders be singled out and whacked individually; less elegant but immediately fulfilling. Tom's opinion was that this sort of tactic would only send the rest of the leadership to more paranoid security measures and seclusion making it an approach of diminishing returns.

Ultimately, Hallorhan removed Tom from command of the unit and dropped him from the contract with a bad mark on his fitness report. It's arguable whose approach would have worked better, but nevertheless the damage to Tom's career had been done and six years later when he rounded the horn on twenty years in he still hadn't made Lieutenant. Tired of going nowhere and frustrated by the unfairness of it Tom took early retirement at twenty years in service and sought greener pastures in the private sector.

As a Runner, Tom has thus far been very successful. His meticulous attention to detail and ability to execute plans and stay focused on objectives made him popular with Fixers from the word go. However, Tom was not happy doing pick up work or running with people he didn't trust so he quickly teamed up with the well established Runner team known as LIBRA, and soon became their defacto combat leader thanks to his deep experience in that area. He works exclusively with this team, and is very happy with the arrangement.
