Love this - since it's a good one, we'll move forward with just two votes. Additionally, we will make some stat alterations to reflect the character's backstory - stats are now,
>Power: 1
>Skill: 2
>Presence: 2
>Insight: 1
>Knowledge: 1

>One of the great commandos of the first world war, you enlisted again in hopes that you could protect your country against the aggression of the Axis powers.
>On June 7th, you are on leave in London when news of the bombardment reaches the city streets - you immediately begin assisting civilians as they head down into the shelters.
>You are standing at the top of a staircase full of panicked citizens when you hear your name called over the chaos.
>"Armstrong! What is this, what's happening?"
>You turn to see an old comrade, John Barbara Allen, moving through the crowds toward you - but before you can remind him jokingly that he missed a Sir, the sky lights up overhead and a pillar of crimson energy descends from the sky to make impact two blocks over.
>The world turns crimson and then brilliant white as an explosion rips through the city center - you feel the crush of citizens around you go still and then slacken as dozens of human bodies turn to ash. Buildings crash down around you, showering the streets in debris.
>As the rubble clears, you are horrified to see a chunk of shrapnel as long as a human forearm embedded in your stomach - a dozen feet away, Allen is rolling on the ground and shrieking, his arms coated in flames down to the elbows. Oddly, they do not seem to be burning him.
>You know from your experience in the field that you are likely in shock, but as you take your first steps onto the destroyed streets, you notice that other wounds on your forearms and chest are beginning to close up - trickles of blood rapidly slow and pieces of glass are pushed out as your body heals. Experimentally, feeling waves of agony, you pull the chunk of metal from your stomach and feel instant relief as the wound knits itself closed. You ready your rifle, feeling good as new.

You have a few options for your next move! In addition, I will provide some more information on the Talents you chose.

>Rifle (Urban Commando variant): You have advantages when fighting with a rifle in close combat. You may also use the Covering Fire or Combat Disarm maneuvers to protect an ally from attack or take a target enemy's weapon, respectively.
>Conditioning: Provides benefits to any rolls made to perform athletic feats. With Skill 2, you can re-try any failed Conditioning roll instantly at the cost of HP damage. You may also instantly determine any injuries or poisons afflicting your body.
>Rhetoric: Provides benefits to any rolls made to convince or deceive other characters. This also contributes to rolls made to groups of individuals, as when ordering soldiers to charge.

Options!
>Check on Allen
>Look around to see if there are other survivors
>Look for cover
>Write-in
