Inglorious Monsters: Douglas Jackson

Douglas Jackson[edit]
[[]]
Douglas is a normal looking young man just out of high-school. He has a Southern U.S. accent with short, military style blonde hair and haunted blue eyes. He almost always has a cigarette hanging from his lower lip. He tends to dress in boring plain white shirts and blue jeans, often stained with oil and grass.
Doug was a good soldier, driven. He helped his allies and was assigned duties as a driver for his skills behind the wheel. Unfortunately, his time in the military was brought to swift and violent end at the bottom of a falling missile. With his body split into a few dozen pieces, Doug's spirit clung desperately to life. He had a girl back home, he had parents whom loved him, he had a duty to the U.S. of A to win this damn war and save Freedom.
That perseverance attracted the attention of a dark ghost. Clinking chains and cold winds, tornados of gnashing teeth, these were the only things Doug heard in the darkness as he slipped steadily towards Death. It offered him life, a chance to do what he wished but at a cost...he must take the spirit back with him. Douglas looked into the spinning vortex of barbed chains, muttered prayer to his God and took the thing's hand...claw...whatever.
Back in the land of the living, he made his way back to the U.S. planning to reveal his lively state to his family. That's where the government intercepted him and asked for his help. He, of course, accepted.
