Editing Character:Bruce "Taipan" Hornsby

[[Category:Character|Bruce "Taipan" Hornsby]]

A character for ''Broken Gears'', created by psychojosh13. <br>

Broken Gears is an interesting mish-mash of alternate history, steampunk, and pulp.  It is also available for free, so I don't have to be the only one here who owns it.

== Campaign ==

What kind of campaign I don't know, other than "full of people getting shot."  What does matter is that Bruce is part of a squad of Australian mercenaries, known throughout the world of Broken Gears as the best army money can buy.

== Character Description ==

Bruce is practically the poster boy for rugged Australians with a mean streak - tall, muscular, always scowling, and darker-skinned than those European pansies (thanks to a combination of suntan and Aboriginal heritage somewhere up the line).  He's not the leader of his squad, but when the orders come down to make someone hurt or to turn a structure into a crater, he's first in line to make it happen.

== Commentary ==

No particular thoughts on this one.  As with many of the characters I'm making for this exercise, this one would work equally well as a PC or NPC, and in the latter role could have a dozen possible reasons for aiding or interfering with the PCs.
