Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Minuteman

"Fifty-Five seconds to spare!"

-Minuteman leaving the tent barracks

The Minuteman is the standard infantry of the Minutemen Survivors. Planned to be voiced by Jon Gentry.

Overview
* TBA*

Appearance
Their attire tends to be a hodgepodge of outfits and armor, due to the Survivor's lack of an official uniform, but all Minutemen wear a leather duster with the Minutemen logo.

History
"Protect the people at a minute's notice."

-The Minutemen creed

The Minutemen are a diverse group, with members coming from all walks of life. Many Embry citizens have joined up with the revolution for any number of reasons, be it to avenge the destruction of their nation or simply to protect themselves against the many raiders. A good number of those who join the Minutemen are eager to fight on the battlefield. The majority of volunteers end up joining the Militia, fighting a low-intensity guerrilla war with the Aquila/Voshkod in the streets. For those who don't, there is the Minutemen Army.

While the Militia is little more than scattered groups of rabbles, the Minutemen Army is a professional, organized fighting force, a fact which may be attributed to their leadership. A good portion of the Minutemen Army is made up of Minutemen, the catch-all name for the infantry that spends their time on the front lines. They're a fairly diverse group, mostly made up of grizzled war veterans, defected reservists, and sometimes just plain old gun nuts. The differences between a Minuteman and your average Militia member are considerable; Minutemen are better trained, more skilled, more determined, and more professional by comparison. While a Militia would be extraordinarily lucky to best a Conscript in a straight fight, a fight between a Conscript and a Minuteman is a different story altogether.

In addition, Minutemen also get the best equipment the Minutemen have. While most who join the Minutemen have to bring their own equipment with them, the Minutemen Army does its best to see that its soldiers are issued proper weaponry. While even so the soldiers of the Minutemen Army wield a diverse range of small arms, the most commonly issued equipment for a Minuteman is the laser musket, their signature weapon and the symbol of their ingenuity of rebuilding in the waste, consisting of a broken laser rifle repaired with miscellaneous parts, mainly a crank that's responsible for charging it, that is "loaded" by turning the crank, which charges up the generator and releases all its energy upon pulling the trigger, which easily vaporizes most soldiers at full charge and has enough range to hit aircraft. With many Minutemen caring for their rifle like a child, often making enough personal modifications that no two laser muskets are the same.
