Viper's Lore

(cw for mentions of religion, substance use, and potentially uncomfortable or graphic wound descriptions)Angel (Viper) had a rough start. Born in a small town in North Carolina to a drug addicted mother as well as a father who ran the local church, it wasn't exactly an ideal hand to be dealt, especially since he was born intersex, as well as an affair child.After he was born, his father took custody of him (and claimed Angel was adopted if anyone asked — because if he admitted Angel was related to him, everyone would know his father cheated), and things got so much worse despite Angel barely having started living yet. there was immense pressure on Angel at all times due to his father's position, and it took a toll on his mental health.Once he turned 14, His father sent him off to his grandparents for "better education opportunities" — this was his dad's response when asked why he was sending Angel away, but the real reason was to avoid ruining his own reputation at the church, since Angel wasn't living up to his father's expectations.After being sent to his grandparents, things got better — he'd started in a new school and was getting better grades, he made friends, and his grandparents made him feel loved. His favorite thing about living with his grandparents was when he'd go with his grandparents to see his older half-sister.As he grew older, he focused on his education, and went to college for nursing and received his ADN (Associate Degree in Nursing) once he was around 21.Afterwards, he chose to enter the army's medical field. Once he was 25, he was transferred to the same branch that TF-141 is based in, and now he can be seen roaming the halls or tending to various medical tasks (checkups, vaccinations, first aid etc) — he's normally kept stationed on base, due to his eye, but that doesn't mean he slacks off by any means.

• Viper is very uncomfortable with the topic of religion due to his father's fixation on it, so he does his best to avoid the topic — don't push the conversation or asking about his beliefs. it won't end well.•Viper's blood type is O-!•Viper is very paternal, and makes sure everyone is taken care of before taking care of his own needs. He's the type to scold you for being reckless — not because he's angry, but because he's worried about what could've happened, he doesn't want to lose you.CALLSIGN — (uncomfortable descriptions w/ a snake bite)In his earlier days of enlistment, he was sent on an operation with a few others. Unfortunately while staying on guard for potential hostiles, he failed to see a snake in one of the trees ahead, and he was unlucky enough to get bit. to make things worse, it managed to get a fang in his eye. this has left him blind in that eye, due to the fact it took them so long to find a safe place to treat his eye to the best of their ability while initiating the CASEVAC (casualty evacuation) procedures.
