Personality-
Brian is a very quiet and shy man. He's not one for banter, he simply talks when he needs to. For sometime Brian was considered a mute. These days he finds it easier to talk to people but still only really talks when necessary. He is a caring an considerate man with a heart of gold. He will go out of his way for others if they need him. Brian isn't one for sticking his nose where it doesn't belong but sometimes intervening is necessary or so he has learned. He is the guy who will stick up for those incapable of doing so themselves.
Brian likes the finer things in life. The young man loves Cuban Cigars and couldn't imagine a more perfect way to relax than enjoying a nice stogie. In addition to this, Brian loves American beers and wines, but If he's going to drink, it's going to be something delicious… And while he's doing so he'd much rather support the alcohol industry in America, rather than anywhere else. Brian Gamble is a great driver and his love for cars shows. Furthermore, Brian loves baseball. Losing his chance to pitch and head towards the majors may have deterred Brian a little. But it never stopped the young man's love for the game.
Brian is heroic in the since he will risk his own life for those around him. He is the type of guy who will share how he feels, voice his opinion and give his suggestions..only when asked though. Brian isn't one to confide in others unless he is invited to do so. He keeps his own problems and worries to himself. Brian is more the listener but will give advice if approached. He is calm natured and kind, with rarely a bad word to say about anyone. Most importantly, Brian loves being a father. He loves his little girl with all his heart and nothing will ever change that.

Abilities/Powers/Skills-
Faunal Morphing - Brian Gamble has the ability to change forms into almost any animal he choses to shift into. Through this ability, Brian Gamble is able to change his appearance completely and morph entirely into an animal he choses to shift into. Furthermore, Brian is able to shift into animals larger and smaller than his size as his ability allows him to reconfigure the structure of his bones. Brian is limited by only being able to shift into an animal he has seen and has been around for a lengthy period of time. In this, Brian is limited by the fact that he cannot just glimpse at a magazine and instantly be able to shift into an animal. When he shifts, Brian remains cognitive though he does gain the heightened senses of the animals that he shifts into.
Currently, Brian has three main shifts, a Wolf, a Wolverine, and a Moose.
Feral Mind - The negative side to Brian Gamble's ability comes with how it affects his mind. If he is not careful and if Gamble does not protect himself mentally, he can temporarily drive himself into a frenzied state where he loses control and the animal side takes over. When Brian Gamble is in this state his strength, endurance, agility, speed, and senses are all enhanced.
Limits-
Faunal Morphing - Brian Gamble's ability is limited by the fact that he must have had some kind of prolonged encounter with an animal in order for him to shift into it. He cannot just look at an animal and shift into it. There's a process to it and it really is not easy thing to accomplish as if Brian is flipping through a picture book. Right now, Brian can only shift into animals with similar skeletal structures. He cannot shift into birds due to the fact that they have hollow bones and cannot shift into fish or other similar creatures due to the nature of their skeletal makeup. Brian Gamble is able to stay in a shift for an hour before having to return to his normal human form. Brian must spend somewhere near an hour with an animal before being able to shift into them. Brian does this subconsciously, however he does not currently realize it. Currently, Brian believes as though he must spend his time focusing on a specific animal and their features for about an hour. Brian's three current shift's stem from an extended hunting trip in the Alaskan Wilderness.
Feral Mind - Brian Gamble's secondary ability is limited to the fact that he can only remain in such a frenzied state for a limited amount of time. Brian is capable of remaining in such a state of mind for about half an hour before his body begins to naturally readjust the neurotoxins and chemicals in his brain to restore balance and calm to Brian's mentality and psyche. Once Brian shifts back into his human form, he is no longer affected by his frenzied state to a certain degree. The only effects from this that will remain is the fact that Gamble will be more prone to agitation and will have a foggy memory and recollection of everything that had occurred under his feral state.
Appearance-
Brian Gamble stands roughly 6’2” with a fairly slim, but athletic build that vividly echoes his childhood days as a member of a baseball team. Brian has a fairly, fair complexion. However, Brian's light skin tone is often combined with an almost blush cheek tone, which adds even more color and life to his face. Brian has deep, cerulean eyes and dark brown hair that becomes ever so slightly curly if left uncut for some time.
Directly along Brian's right elbow lies a scar, which runs horizontally along the curve of his elbow. The majority of the time Brian stays clean-shaven, although he can be seen occasionally with a nice scruff across his face. Yet, in keeping himself clean-shaven, Brian's rigid jaw line is often accentuated thoroughly. While Brian enjoys casual clothing he also loves wearing a nice suit and tie and can also be seen in his formal military garb.

History-
Brian was born in Houston, Texas to Edward and Francis Gamble. Brian was born into a wealthy family. He was a brat growing up and was a momma's boy who got everything he wished for.
However when he grew into his teen years, money didn't seem to matter to him anymore, the stress that came with puberty seemed to be enough. Brian was an avid baseball player, he found that after high school he was offered a scholarship, Gamble took it and went on to become better then he'd first started. Brian's game was that good that he even considered going pro, until things took a turn for the worse and Brian injured his elbow in a finals game. Although his elbow would heal, the doctors advised him to reject the opportunity since playing again could result in making the injury more severe and consistent. Gamble decided to take the doctors advice and rejected the opportunity, which turned out to be good in the long run. Brian's life plans changed when his cousin Ricky joined the military.
Gamble realized that maybe this was a career path for him, as he'd often dreamed about being a pilot as a child. Brian decided to join the US Army. Brian Gamble didn't join the Air Force though. Instead, Brian Gamble joined the Marines where he learned to be a soldier. Brian worked harder than most of his peers and through conscientious effort, he was able to rise through the ranks over the years. Brian worked hard was damn near good at his job.
Brian never seemed to have much luck in love. He tended to get used for his wealth, Brian found it hard to commit to a relationship with full trust. Serving his time in the US army he found himself falling for a medic. Diana was the love of his life, the two hit it off right away and shortly married at a chapel near his base camp. Being wed for several months Diana soon fell pregnant with a baby girl. Sadly Diana never got to see her little angel, Diana was killed in a head on collision. She was very pregnant and as Gamble was just returning from his base, she found that she had gone into labour. There was no one else around to help her and so she attempted to go to the hospital by herself. Gamble never made it in time to help her. When he arrived at the hospital she was already dead, all that was left was their beautiful new born baby whom he named Diana after her mother.
Even though it has been 7 years, Gamble finds it hard to open up to women, in fear he will get close to them and then lose them. He has fun when he can, often going on hunting trips in the Alaskan wilderness and baseball games... Now though, Brian Gamble has been given the chance to do something different... Brian Gamble has been given the chance to help change the world and make the country a far safer place.
Sample RP-
Sergent Brian Gamble was a good man. He wasn't the kind of guy who pissed people off and acted all tough. He didn't start fights and he didn't try to fuck people over. Brian Gamble was a good human being. He'd lived his this way since he'd "grown up." As a child, Brian Gamble was your stereotypical pain in the ass. He liked pissing people off and more importantly he liked getting what he wanted. Gamble had been born into a wealthy family who had made their fortune in the oil business. Oil was like gold out in Texas and Brian's family had plenty of it. Brian had always been as rich as they came... But when the young man couldn't get what he wanted anymore... That's when things changed for Brian. Not only had it been a blow to his ego, but it also changed his mentality and his way of life. The young man didn't expect for life to go down that way. He had everything laid out right before his very eyes. His life was being served to him on a silver platter... But sometimes... Sometimes life decides to throw you a curveball that you just aren't quite ready for.
Brian Gamble had been an extraordinarily gifted pitcher. The young man could hurl a baseball faster and more accurately than many scouts had come to see in a while. The young man would've gone pro. Brian Gamble was actually heading in that direction until he suffered one of the worst injuries a baseball player could ever have happen. Brian Gamble injured his elbow so badly that he was going to need Tommy John surgery. It was a devastating blow to the young man's prospective career... Sure, there was rehab... But the fact that Brian couldn't get what he wanted for the first time in his life... That was enough to make Brian want to call it quits... And so he did. Instead, Brian went off to school and took his life in a completely different direction. Even though he couldn't necessarily pitch anymore... Brian still loved baseball. He was a fanatic and could give out statistics from the top of his head. The young man really just had a love for the game. It was the greatest sport on Earth for Brian. There was just no other way about it to him. There were other sports... And then there was baseball. Baseball, would always be his favorite, even if he couldn't play anymore.
Brian Gamble couldn't help but to reminisce as he stood in the park and play catch with his little gir Diana. She was the spitting image of her mother... Sure, she had little spots of Brian thrown in here and there... But to be completely and brutally honest... Diana looked just like her mother, there was no doubt about it. Brian loved spending this time of rare quality time with his daughter. He didn't always get to be with her a lot... So when he did, Brian cherished the moment. The young man loved her with all his heart and knew she wouldn't stay like this forever. The young man knew that he was lucky that they got along so well right now... And even more lucky that one of the things she'd gotten from him was her throwing arm. For a little girl, Diana could throw a bullet as if Brian ever saw one. The young man couldn't help but to be happier than ever when he was with Diana, especially when they were playing catch. Brian smirked as he eyed his little angel and caught the ball that she had thrown towards him. "Thatta girl... Now that's the Gamble-Arm if I ever saw it. Show me again, this time try even harder though!" Brian grinned widely as he eyed Diana and tossed the ball back to her, awaiting her throw. Truth be told, Brian couldn't have been happier.
