The Sniper is a member of the Meme Team specializing in long-range combat.

History[edit | edit source]

Sniper was born in the early 20th century and spent most of his life in the Australian outback. His considerable skill with long-range weaponry caught the attention of the US-based TF Industries, who approached him and asked him to participate in their cloning program. Sniper agreed and received a back-mounted machine powered by Australium that extends his lifespan in return. Thanks to the machine hidden under his shirt, Sniper looks no older than 45 years old, despite being actually much older than that today.

In 150,084 CMT, Sniper attended Kartouche's concert on Tybion, and was subsequently chased into Hungry-man's log cabin by an army of Ta'har. During the ensuing battle, Sniper killed a Ta'har by dousing it in jarate and using his kukri to finish it off. When the log cabin crashed on Meme World, Sniper moved onto the surface with the others and helped build some temporary shelters.

When Ade's engineers managed to fix her ship, she told the other crash survivors that she would take them home if they first helped her win the Terugan Civil War. Sniper was one of the many who agreed to her conditions, and was drafted into what would become the Meme Team. They immediately took off for Teruga Prime. After Sniper and the others were briefed on their mission, they were teleported next to the ZFT bunker they were ordered to infiltrate.

Weapons[edit | edit source]

Sniper's signature weapon is a single-shot, bolt action sniper rifle with a wooden stock, a massive telescopic scope and a laser sight attached underneath. He seems very attached to this weapon, and can often be seen tweaking or polishing it when not on mission. He also carries at least two knives with him; one being a large kukri knife, and the other a large bowie knife with a serrated edge he calls the "Bushwacka". Sniper is also a practitioner of Jarate. Jarate, short for "jar-based karate", involves filling brittle jars with urine and hurling them at targets to distract or traumatize them while in combat. According to Sniper, the Bushwacka does extra damage to opponents covered in jarate, though this is yet to be proven.
