Appearance:
Personality: Digger is one to act on his feelings before trying to reason or think things through any further. More often then not he will act upon his first thoughts and likely not even consider a second or third. That being said he is still very logical and thinks through thinks when it is needed, even if he doesn't show it. At the same time Digger is manipulative and cunning, often trying to move others into doing as he wishes should he be cautious of the situation. This mindset coupled with his over cocky attitude and greedy thoughts Digger often finds himself in a bit of trouble.
Digger's mouth has gotten him in and out of his fair share of trouble and then some (especially the 'getting into trouble' part) Digger is cocky beyond fault and will publicly voice this even if it is quite obvious he will land himself in hot water. On top of that if he is particularly drunk at the time his tendencies are multiplied tenfold and things often don't look to pretty when such a situation arises.
Background: George 'Digger' Harkness was the illegitimate child of an American soldier and an Australian woman. Growing up in the Australian town of Korumburra, in poverty, Digger would learn to use and create his own boomerangs in the Australian outback. A young adult Digger would later be hired as a performer and promoter of a local boomerang toy company. The company being owned by his biological father, a fact Digger was completely ignorant of.
Working as the company's mascot for a short while Digger would later begin to be criticized by the audience of the company. This would later lead to Digger becoming resentful toward others and beginning to use his mascot persona, Captain Boomerang, as an alias for crime as he robbed local stores in the area. Working his way up from small corner stores Digger would quickly become a well known thief, a far fetched legends to most as he was never caught. Eventually Digger would become so proficient in his field of expertise he would amass quite the legend as he had robbed every large bank in Australia either by association or his own skills.
Seeing the Land Down Under as no longer challenging and honestly dried up due to his regular raids of the establishments Digger would abandon his homeland, setting his sights on a much more profitable target. Now calling Central city his new host and himself the parasite Digger has surfaced in the large city and while not much has been accounted to his name yet he is determined to change that soon.

RP Sample: Having just arrived off of a plane from Aussie the man who called himself Digger already carried a lingering scent of cheap wine on him as he entered the town he was to call his new home. He looked at the mass of steel and concrete as a host for his criminal operation and himself the parasite of the it's populous, looking to feed on the gains of the people around him not long after his arrival. Having no real source of money, plans or even knowledge of the area Digger would have to do what he did best to get a strong foothold in his new headquarters of operation, Star City. Stepping off the plane and down to the tarmac it had landed on the smell of the wine he had been offered on the plane would follow him as he made his way into the city. Bypassing the long process of entering a new country Digger would instead creep his way through the shadows as he did best.
Not wasting any time and the wine from the plane ride not doing anything to satisfy the man's thirst Digger would shortly find himself in one of the local waterholes of the city. Persuading the staff of the bar to keep feeding him bottle after bottle with promises of paying afterward to avoid having to fumble through his pockets every purchase the man had no real intentions of actually paying for any of the drinks in the first place.
After only a few hours and god knows how many drinks the sun would swoop below the horizon and Digger would still find himself downing drinks, having not paid for a single one as of yet. Trying to gather information about the area and not yielding much results due to his drunken state causing his focus to be spread thin Digger would continue to make meaningless small talk among the fellow patrons of the bar. Everything would seem fine and Digger would seem an average man enjoying his drink until one of the men he was talking to would do something that set Digger off. Going to stand up the man would lose the grip on his drink, spilling it all over Digger's jeans. Not even taking a moment to listen to the man's apologies Digger would immediately punch the man in the stomach. This would prove to throw Digger into quite the brawl as the man and two of his friends began to swing back. "Oi, yah bloke! Yah gone and made me mad as a cut snake now!" He screamed as he threw one of the men into another, both of them flipping over the table they had all been sitting at before he spun around and punched the third in the jaw.
Brushing himself off as the three seemed to be done he would order up another drink. The woman behind the counter not hesitating to do as he asked before he took the glass and headed out the door. "I'll take me roadie and go rage on some place else. Damn Seppos!" with that Digger would carry his party out into the streets, not wanting to stick around should anyone turn up to investigate the commotion he had caused.
