James “The Veteran” Syler was a former striker for the Trontek 29ers.
Biography
James “The Veteran” Syler has certainly been in the game for a long time, and he has the scars to prove it. And it’s not just scars – he’s also got prosthetics, implants and all manner of trophies too. For many of DreadBall’s early years he was a fixture of the Trontek teams, moving from one to another as contracts became ever-more lucrative.
However, he seems to have become disillusioned with the Trontek management and these days won’t go anywhere near them unless it’s scoring strikes for their opponents. These arguments famously came to a head during a tied final of Thudweiser Cup VIII which resulted in his walking off the pitch in disgust. Since then he has played as an MVP for anyone but his old bosses.
Over the years he has survived numerous injuries and been revived more than once. This makes him a little more cautious than many Strikers, and the prosthetics that have been used to repair him give him a distinctive look.
Modern medical technology would not be so obvious, but as he says he’s been around for a long time and these injuries aren’t new. In fact, these days he’s had most of his easily damaged bits replaced with titanium alloys and so putting him out of a match is far from easy.
