WCC #1: Melker Göransson – Särskilda Skyddsgruppen Operative

Posted by: Josh Bazin on Monday, May 11th, 2009

Melker Göransson has been created using the Savage Worlds Explorer’s Edition.

Background

Melker Göransson grew up in Västerbotten province of Sweden, near the city of Umeå.  Melker’s mother worked for TV4, his father for the Norrland University Hospital. Melker played Hockey from a young age.  He was recruited by several Universities to play for the collegiate hockey teams.  Melker had a bright hockey future, especially considering the quality of programs that were courting him.  However, Melker wanted to serve his country in a different way.  Melker decied to attend Military Academey Karlberg, which effectively stalled any potential for his Hockey career, a choice Melker has yet to regret.

The strong, athletic Melker’s conditioning was tested throughout his Officer training.  Driven to succeed, Melker graduated near the top of his class, ready to lead.  Melker moved into a position with the Amphibious Corps and showed great skill as a leader and as a solider.  These skills were quickly recognized by the Särskilda Skyddsgruppen, who recruited the young man into their ranks.

Fresh out of SpecOps training, Melker is ready to lead his new unit against what ever threats may arise.
