PHYSICAL BUILD Toned and Muscular (Medium Build) DISTINGUISHING MARKS Most noticeably: one scar through his left eyebrow, and one running down across the right-hand corner of his mouth. GENERAL APPEARANCE Logan walks with a bit of a strut in his step and pretty much always seems unhurried and nonchalant. He's one of those "cool" guys who always seems perfectly comfortable and at home with his surroundings, seemingly unaffected by temperature and the like. It often pisses people off, as do many of his other traits. CLOTHING STYLE Stroud's a snappy dresser, usually looking rather handsome and well arranged. As a rule, he keeps himself, his clothing, and his gear in good repair to the fullest extent possible. As a hitman, Logan prefers utilitarian pieces and dark coloration, often with a business-casual flair and multiple layers. Leather makes a frequent appearance, and his apparel is always high-quality and custom tailored, unless he's on a job that requires otherwise. Slacks, expensive boots, scarves, gloves, and trench coats are definite favorites.

LIKES Wine, women, and song. Ok, more like hard liquor, casual sex, and maaaybe a little music mixed in if it's not too loud.  Going fast, whether in a landcar or otherwise. Black. It's classy, matches everything, blends in, and is slimming. Weapons. Logan can get a little scary when he's caught sight of finely crafted weaponry. DISLIKES People attempting to psycho-analyze him. (Very hypocritical, considering he constantly does this very thing to everyone around him.) Naive and/or "holier-than-thou" people with no sense of humor, or those who get all "mushy" with him in a non-sexual kind of way. People who aren't as smart as him, particularly if they're in any kind of position with authority. QUIRKS/HABITS Strouder is rarely seen without one of his trademark coats, double-layered shirts, or Italian-made boots. He also smirks more often than anyone has a right to. Logan constantly sizes people up, sometimes being obvious about it, sometimes not. FEARS Waking up one day with regrets. (But that would require him to give a crap... or have a conscience.) The not totally unlikely scenario that someone will target his friends or family.

STRENGTHS Perceptive and charismatic. Stroud has a knack for reading people and knows how to "play the part" to get what he wants out of them. Even those who are aware of his scoundrel ways still find themselves falling for his charms on occasion. Logan's calm and confident demeanor, deep voice, and steely-eyed stare have served him well when using intimidation, or when others have looked to him for direction. Details matter, and Stroud is practically robotic in his approach to them. As such, he is adept at organization, tactics, and keeping track of important information. WEAKNESSES Where to start? Logan's cocky, vain, judgmental, callous, and an oft insincere or brutally honest wise-ass. Having lived a life of viewing others either as pawns or as targets, Stroud has difficulty obtaining any real connection with people. (And usually feels threatened or insecure when he does.) Logan indulges his vices (pretty faces, strong drinks, pricey merchandise, adrenaline rushes) with worrying regularity. Having spent the majority of his training and combat experience with small (and concealable) arms, Logan isn't quite as practiced with larger-scale armaments like shotguns, rifles, launchers, and/or mounted weaponry. "Very dangerous across short distances!" TALENTS/ABILITIES Close-quarters combat. Whether armed with SMGs, pistols, blades, or with nothing at all, Logan is death-on-wheels to those within his reach. Nerves of steel. Logan has seen and done a lot of extremely dangerous things in his life - made it his career in fact. As such, not much seems to rattle him for very long, and he has a high tolerance of pain and discomfort. And alcohol. Subterfuge and espionage. Logan's skilled in the use of stealth, acrobatics, sleight-of-hand, and social-engineering techniques. SECRETS "Sure, I got a secret. More 'n one. Don't seem likely I tell 'em to you now, do it?" Ha. Actually Ryan T. Connor's whole life is a secret more-or-less, and the vast majority of the details surrounding his alias Logan Stroud are as well. First rule o' fight club is you don't talk about fight club, and it's the same with Black Sun. Publicly speaking, Ryan Connor is an affluent army brat that works for the family business, and his alter ego Logan Stroud is a gun-for-hire. That's all most folk will ever know about him. Biorobotic implants. Logan's got a few, and he doesn't tend to speak on it. Two of 'em are attached to the optic nerve behind each of his eyes, enhancing the capabilities of the photoreceptors so he can see with great detail in the dark without needing to rely on an external light-source. The other one on his spinal column acts like a sort of emergency pacemaker, sending signals to get his heart and lungs working again should they suddenly stop functioning normally. ASPIRATIONS Shoot more guns, drink more alcohol, sleep 'round with more ladyfolk. Livin' the dream.

OVERALL PERSONALITY

---

        Stroud is not a good man. Trained as a thief and assassin, he views others like pieces on a chessboard. All have their place, and some hold more power than others, but ultimately they're all potential targets that can be removed from play with the right strategy.

Logan does have a playful side, which is probably as close as he gets to sincerely being "nice".
