Time for Deadline! Yay! *confetti*

His appearance is pretty solid, keeping with the lizard and sniper themes. You went into great detail with his scales, noting patterns,  eyes, and even the tips of his fingers. They aren't just in detail, but they are really good. He reminds me of the argonians in the Elder Scrolls series. His attire mixes soldier with dark bad***, but this look can sometimes be considered a cliché. I should know: I have a monopoly on black coats on SFW. Pants are cool. Not much to say about those, but then you jumped back to his body's appearance with his cool forked tongue. You should just cut and paste that before the section on his attire. His weapons are what you would expect of a sniper. Ah, the lovely intervention. The sniper of snipers. His knife in boot adds a survivor man tone to his appearance and his galvaknuckles sound familiar....but I digress. They put the knife in a situational role while his knuckles do some electroshock therapy. Overall, pretty nice, but one or two cskills here and there.

His personality section not only goes into his personality individually, but also contrasts his with Lockdown's. Now seems a good time to talk about their relationship. Unlike the extroverted hyena, Deadline is nothing like his friend, which I thought to be a good idea. Opposites simply attract. To be honest, he reminds me of my relationship with my best friend, with him being the Deadline and I myself being the hyena. That was nice, recalling that. Back to it then! Another thing I like are their different combat roles, with Lockdown being all like BAM BAM then POW x 6 and a few slashes. And Deadline be like BOOM chk chk BOOM chk chk. If you did not understand a word, they fill in each other's weaknesses, like Deadline remembering to pack ammo while his friend tending to forget to bring extra. All in all, I like his personality individually and when alongside Lockdown.

I have the same small complaint with Deadline's history as I did Lockdown's. It is rather short, not going into his life before the military. Everyone is defined by their earlier lives. It is always nice to know why a character behaves a certain way. Other than that, I like hearing his fateful partnership from his PoV. The history you did write was very well written, calling him a good shot AND giving a good example of it. I'm tired of some guys saying "this guy's a bad***" but leaving Jo proof. Even the smallest things can make or break a character.

His skills have already been mentioned throughout the article. He's a long range sniper capable of popping a cranial balloon filled with bits of watermelons with a 50 cal bullet. Martial arts, though, feels like just another thing added in there. To be honest, all I see him needing to do at close quarters is a single punch. Galvaknuckles are pretty powerful, if I recall correctly. On another note, I could picture him tossing Lockdown into the fray with just three words: " Go kill things".

His weaknesses I saw coming, so nice work addressing his cold bloodedness. I like how this can hinder his ability to find a good sniper spot. His social weakness also rather humorous, being blunt just like his comrade, but probably in different situations.

Overall, I gives this a very long gun/10

IGN gives you a 3/10, writing 12 paragraphs focused on the jacket cliché mentioned before whilst making a big deal out of it.

Ask questions if you need to. I recognize that I was probably all over the place with this review.
