ROLLBAR
Vechicle Driver
File Name: Darcy, Clarence N.
Birthplace: St. Paul, MN
Grade: E-5
ROLLBAR is a walking attitude problem. He's mean, rude, ill-mannered
- and those are his good points. His problem is that he can't stand still
for more than two minutes without losing his temper at someone or something.
He doesn't have a lot of use for military discipline (as noted by his garish-even-for-the
Joe-Team uniform), but enlisted in the Army in the hopes of controlling
some of his pent-up enery and finding an outlet for his one true passion
-- vehicles. Rollbar has, prior to jonnng the Joe Team, had brief careers
as both a NASCAR race car driver and as a trucker. In both cases, he was
simply too undisciplined to continue. Realizing that his lack of self-discipline
might cost him the chance to get behind the wheel in the future, he enlisted,
and found that his vehicle skills were enough to get him posted to the
Joe Team. As for his personal behavior -- well, there's no tougher team
than the Joes. If they can't whip him into shape, no one can.
From General Hawk's personal files: "Sometimes I'd like to shoot him
if it weren't for the paperwork involved. The funny thing is, he doesn't
look all that psychotic, but if you cross him, which doesn't take much,
you're in serious trouble. Fortunately, given our ongoing conflict with
Cobra, the Joes probably see more real combat action than a lot of military
divisions, and Rollbar will take any chance to vent his aggressions against
hapless Cobras over his fellow Joes any day. And he can drive anything
through anything. I've seen him take motorcycles, Jeeps, tanks, and even
some of our experimental stuff that tends to be classification through
the nastiest battlefields. Rollbar is gradually learning teamwork. I think
he respects us -- but he'll never admit it." |
