Personal History: (The backstory of your character. Explain how your character ended up on the Frontier. 2 paragraph minimum requirement)
Booker was an average child born on Kepler with a rather peaceful childhood nothing out of the normal. In his younger years he was quiet and kept to himself but watching his classmates lead to him adopting fake persona's to help him fit in which made him the class clown but his academic performance was average. However where he really excelled was sports anything requiring running or jumping or fighting then Booker was your man. This all was found out when Booker was suggested to try out for football. Nobody could touch him on the field and those who tried ended up knocked on their asses. He received multiple scholarships from colleges who wanted him in their sports programs but Booker stayed local and went to KeplerU and studied Business getting his Bachelors degree with no real difficulties. However he found himself bored with life and devoid of entertainment so one day in his dorm on the couch watching TV with a bowl of cereal he saw an ad for the IMC-MC and smiled at what could only be fate.
Joined the IMC and quickly raking up a record that impressed higher up in IMC they moved him to The Reapers after about 3 years in the IMC. In the Reapers Booker preformed well earning him some cybernetic augmentations to his legs, arms and eyes to help "Boost the assets performance" and with that Booker was in the Reapers for a few years but he grew tired of the routine of go to location, possibly shoot some run of the mill gang-banger who didnt know who he tried to rob or an estranged wife who poisoned her rich husband and then return with dead body in tow.

Dr. Carson: "Hello Booker its great to see you again"
Booker: "Howdy Doc, I've been working through my thoughts and wanted to say I'm out"
Dr. Carson: "Out of what? Time? Money?"
Booker: "Patience, I want out of the reapers. I get bored everyday hauling these dead bodes to and fro. I wanna do something else, something with... Action"
Dr. Carson's tone shifts as he speaks with more authority
Dr. Carson: "Listen here you entitled shit, just cause your hot stuff doesn't mean you can go making demands where and whenever your want."
Booker looks thrown off by Carson's shift in personality
Booker: "W-Who are you?"
Dr. Carson: "Doesn't Concern you. But lucky for you I had a nice night last night so I'll put you in the action. You can go be a basic boy starting from the rock bottom hotshot"
Booker: "NO PLEASE DON'T"
Dr. Carson: "To late, Transfer approved welcome to the Marines Private Booker"
Dr. Carson Leaves the room with a smug smile as Booker is still sitting speechless

Hey Rex, Booker has a few issues that we need you to fix. The following issues being:
-”On his left augmented arm is engraved with "Semper Fi" and the symbol for the Marines. Both his legs and his arms are made of a sleek black alloy given to him by the IMC to "Improve his performance as an asset".”
We need you to properly define this metal if you’re going to stick with it, but please be aware that the IMC only provides mid-grade prosthetics and augs.
-”was above average but nothing to have him be called a genius. However where he really excelled was sports anything requiring running or jumping or fighting then Booker was your man. Multiple scholarships from colleges who wanted him in their sports programs but Booker stayed local and went to KeplerU and studied Business getting his Bachelors degree with relative ease.”
We do not believe that your character is some sort of ‘child prodigy’ and super-genius. If you’d like to attempt to retain this sort of character trait, we’d like to ask that you provide more evidence for this character being as smart as you claim him to be (Academic achievements, specific scholarships, etc.). On that note, we’d also like you to explain how, why, where, and when this character determinedly acquired the skills required for scholarships for Athletic prowess, as your backstory here briefly suggests.
-”In school you could say he was the class clown”
“Or is Booker just plain crazy and a sociopath? Either way he carries no remorse for any monstrosity he commits and is willing to do anything for a good paycheck. Booker may have a soft side but its very hard to find under all the sociopathic tendencies”
These two quotes we’ve taken from your application suggest conflicted statements. The definition for Sociopathy “is an informal term that refers to a pattern of antisocial behaviors and attitudes,”. This definition, which is similar to others explicitly stated in books as well as on the internet, does state explicitly the inability to function properly in a social environment, leading to internalization, AKA antisocial behaviors. Someone being a ‘class clown’ as well as a defined Sociopath is highly unlikely, even more so that they would explicitly express a fake persona at young ages, if they do make such personas. Would also like to mention that you aren't supposed to have questions in your personality section.
-”Joined the IMC and quickly recognizing talent they moved him to The Reapers the IMC's elite T.R.U.”
We do not believe that the IMC soundly would accept someone so instantaneously, once again, it isn’t a sound explanation as it currently stands as written. Please edit this if you wish to keep it, and give explicit detail into such things.
-Sincerely, Kaz, Joke, and Reilious.
