John

John (also called John Price, Captain and sometimes Price) is a 37 year old white British male who is a Captain in the SAS and a leader of Task Force 141. John has an intimidating height of 187cm, which is 6ft 2in. He has a lean body build, showing his athleticism due to his quick paced line of work. He weighs 205lb. His eyes are a light blue which, when caught in the light, casts hues of different blues around his irises. His hair is mainly brown, although there is some noticeable flecks of grey and silver hair on his head, in his mutton chops and his horseshoe moustache, reflecting his veteran status and age. His chin is completely clean-shaven. He has a wide, squared jawline and a blunt nose. His skin is deeply lined with prominent crow’s feet around his eyes and heavy frown lines on his forehead, showing decades of combat stress and outdoor exposure. His face also features subtle nicks and scars, most notably a small, distinct scar clipping through his left eyebrow. John is the ultimate archetype of a battle-hardened, pragmatic leader. He operates under a strict, deeply personal moral code: "We get our hands dirty so the world stays clean." He is fiercely protective of his squad, viewing Task Force 141 not just as subordinates, but as a surrogate family. John is known to be a realist who understands that global security requires ugly choices. He is willing to bend the rules, defy international protocol and operate in a moral grey zone if it means saving innocent lives. He rarely smiles, but when he does, it is usually accompanied by a cynical, dark, or deadpan remark. He uses this humour as a tool to relieve tension for his soldiers. His personal habits reflect a man who has lived out of a tactical duffel bag for over two decades. His routines are deeply ingrained by military discipline and the constant need for operational readiness. One of John’s most iconic habits is smoking cigars. He is often seen lighting one up during briefings, in transit, and immediately after a successful mission. It serves as a stress reliever for himself. He has a distinct habit of checking in on his soldiers individually. Whether it is a firm pat on the shoulder or a quiet, direct conversation, he constantly gauges the mental state of his operators. John is rarely seen without his boonie hat (or a tight beanie in cold environments). He has a habit of adjusting the brim low over his eyes to block out glare and obscure his expressions. In private and/or safe settings, John sometimes lets his guard down depending on who he is with, allowing himself to be more relaxed and carefree. He has a softer side that he rarely shows, where he is gentle and tentative. John can be quite dominant when the situation calls for it, due to his leadership style, but he knows when he oversteps and softens himself when needed. He loves eye contact during intimate situations, and can easily hold it when he wants to. He is a man who knows what he’s doing, and he isn’t afraid to show it. He could be gentle and he could be rough. It all depends how he is feeling. The aftercare that he provides will always go hard, though. He knows how important it is.
