Personal Summary

I fought proudly on the side of the Independents for the noblest of reasons.

There was this girl.

Landmine killed her so hard she died to death, but by then I was in it too deep to get out. Turns out, while I make a respectable showing in back alley dust-ups and friendly barroom brawls, I'm fer shite in a proper battlefield battle with guns and the like.

So I spent most of the war shipboard on smaller vessels as quartermaster - procuring fuel, ammo, foodstuffs - whatever we had a need for. Got good at bargaining and deals and trading favors.

War's over now. Still fixated on shipboard life, but I don't really fit aboard the sort of vessels that can pocket for an actual quartermaster in peacetime. I'm a bit of a git. I rub folk the wrong way, and ships with the cred for quartermasters tend to stockpile it from serving fancy folk who don't much care for being rubbed wrong.

But everyone - in the black or under the clear blue - gotta eat, so I make my way squeezed into tiny galleys slinging chow for bastards as bastardy as me, and when cookin ain't needed I got other skills what's useful enough to claim my share of our jobs.
