Name: Forrest, Brian M. SN: RA 701-54-8793
Primary Military Specialty: SEAL
Secondary Military Specialty: UDT
Birthplace: Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Grade: E-5
Forrest is a veteran SEAL with extensive combat experience. Despite his rather unpleasant personality, he has proven to be an exceptionally adept combatant. His experience in cold-weather combat and diving situations made him an ideal selection for the Ouroboros mission; his penchant for choosing the violent solution over more clandestine options made him a potential liability.
Name: Leialoha, Edward W. SN: RN946775409
Primary Military Specialty: SEAL
Secondary Military Specialty: UDT
Birthplace: Aiea, Hawaii Grade: WO-4
Leialoha's wealth of combat experience and his record of exemplary service made him the natural choice to lead the river insertion into the Ouroboros Facility. Leialoha has a well-deserved reputation as a calm, careful leader with a knack for in-mission improvisation when the situation demands it. His professionalism and preparation are without peer.
Name: Dane, Floyd W. SN: RN927439008
Primary Military Specialty: SEAL
Secondary Military Specialty: Sniper
Birthplace: Fort Worth, Texas Grade: PO-2
Dane is an accomplished marksman, having won several Naval marksmanship competitions as well as civilian events. He has seen action in both Iraq conflicts as well as a variety of classified operations. Dane's expertise as a sniper make him a valuable asset in covert operations. His affable personality and attention-seeking behavior while off-duty are in stark contrast to the serious, intelligent soldier he is in the field.
These guys were a lot of fun. I had been planning some SEALs in dive suits for years, and this project gave me an excuse to make them. They're fairly similar figures, construction-wise, so I tried to differentiate them by giving them slightly different color palettes and gear. I also wanted them to have land equipment so they could do something other than swim around.
Oh, and the Floyd Dane character is taken from the film Navy SEALs. I'm not a big fan of the movie, but for some reason I liked the idea of a figure based on Bill Paxton's character from the film. I needed a sniper, I had a head with a mustache, and I like Bill Paxton a lot; one thing led to another.
