[sblock=Background]outline summary
Born in united states to poor family. Joined military at 18, served first term in Middle East and was promoted to Sergeant during that time. Her second term was in Indonesia, where she was involved in counterinsurgency operations after mass rioting. She was captured by the insurgents during a botched op and tortured, until the final offensive that liberated their strongholds. She left the service after that and went mercenary, signing up with GE to do spaceborne security...and 'other' tactical operations.[/sblock]
[sblock=NPCs]Private Susan Chalco - Suzie, or 'Lazy Susan' as the others on the squad tend to call her, is a fresh face in a business that attracts grim and grizzled vets. She's American, discharged during her first term when 'irregularities' regarding her application turned up; specifically regarding her real name, criminal background, and so on. She'd been a thief as a kid, and joined under a fake ID to try to turn her life around. Rather than return to the streets, she tried to pull what tiny little strings she had with the military to get this one chance to go professional. She's trained but has no real combat experience outside of brawls, but she's very motivated and her skills with disarming security systems promise to be very useful on this mission.
Hammish Bief, a Canadian who goes by 'HamBeef,' is technically a geologist specializing in mineral formations in zero-gravity, but he prides himself on his skill in preparing food ration packs with carefully measured additives to make them tastier than usual. He refers to himself as the 'ship's chef' and has a puffy white hat to prove it. Crewmen differ on how successful HamBeef's astro-culinary concoctions are, but it's hard not to appreciate his affable earnestness and eagerness to please.[/sblock]
