Description A reference sheet for a Assassin's Creed OC that I based off of my great grandfather, who fought in World War II.

Name: James J. Spainhower
Born: Indiaiana, United States; March 10, 1926
Died: South Bend, Indiana; December 15, 1998
Occupation: Soldier
Allegiance: Assassins

Bio: Like many of his ancestors before him, James was born into the Assassin brotherhood.  Because of this, his parents made sure he grew up learning and fighting for the Assassin cause.  Things became difficult, however, as when he was thirteen, World War II broke out.  Because he was too young, his parents kept him away from the fighting, even when the United States themselves joined the war in 1941.  They worked behind the scenes to influence as many people as possible, though the Templars still had the upper hand.

Eventually, when he was eighteen, the Assassins finally sent him to the field.  He was sent straight to Europe, armed and ready to fight the Axis powers.  On June 6, 1944, he and several other soldiers were put on ships and we're tasked with invading the Axis territory of Normandy.  During this invasion, which would eventually be called 'D-Day', James got shot in the leg twice.  Despite the pain, her kept going.  Though there were heavy casualties, the allies won the day.  Once he was put into the care of the medics, they only pulled one bullet out of his leg, as the other one wouldn't do anymore physical harm to his body.  This earned him a purple heart.

Near the war's end, he and a few other Assassins were tasked with tracking down Adolf Hitler, as well as his Piece of Eden.  They eventually found him outside his bunker in Berlin, using his Piece of Eden to make a fake clone of himself so that he could fake his suicide and return to the Templars.  However, his plan fell apart when James and his team of Assassins trapped him before he could leave.  Though James was not the one to actually kill Hitler, he did watch as another Assassin threw him into a fiery pit.

Once the war officially ended, James was finally able to focus on other matters, such as family.  He and his wife had three kids, a daughter and two sons.  They were all taught as Assassins.  Throughout the years, James's health slowly lowered.  By the late 1990's he was stuck in a hospital bed.  His grandson, whom he didn't have a very good relationship with, came to him and showed him the ultrasound of his child.  Before he died, James at least had the happiness of knowing that he was a great grandfather.  He died in 1998.  The bullet that hit him on D-Day was still in his leg.

No lie either, you should grab it it's like 15 at gamestop. But a word of advice; don't buy demons souls or dark souls 2, they suck.

I'll try it out if I get the chance.  Though right now, I'm saving up for a few comic books.

^^ Thanks, man!  Perhaps he would, though I really don't know.  He died before I was born so all I know about him comes from the stories my dad told me.

I mean, it's not that I don't want the job, it's just that I'm not very good at it.  That's why I want to be a paleontologist instead.  It's something that I enjoy, and I feel like I would be able to make a living out of it.

there is no harm in being both.

Yeah, but I probably wouldn't make any money out of being an artist.

Avapithecus In reply to AJK1678 [2015-07-26 18:54:47 +0000 UTC]

I do though.  Drawing is one of my favorite hobbies.  I'm just saying that when it comes to a career, I'd prefer to do something that's both something I enjoy, and something practical.
