'''WHAT'S BEEN KEEPING YOU AWAKE?''' The gig economy. It's hard to make ends meet without hustling every minute. I hold down three jobs - not that my family would consider them jobs - as a fast food delivery driver, ebay seller, and freelance essay writer, and it just about keeps a roof over my head. It's worth it to be free of their expectations.

'''WHAT JUST HAPPENED TO YOU?''' I was heading to the post office after a night up writing essays about the three stages of backward design, and epistemological analysis of the concept of foundationalism, when this idiot in a van ran a red light and came right at me. I knew right then I was dead. Next thing I know the van slams sideways into a lamppost, like it had been hit by a trunk. Driver was dead on impact.

'''WHAT LIES BENEATH?''' People always thought I was an airhead coasting on Daddy's money. They've no fucking idea how hard it is, how tiring, to have to be on all the time - always cheerful, always smiling, always creating the best impression. I'm better than that. Smarter than that. And I'll prove it.

−
'''WHAT IS YOUR PATH?''' The path I'm supposed to follow is one paved with expectations. I'm supposed to become a doctor or a lawyer or a politician. Hook up with some perfect girl, have perfect children. Be respectable. There's more to life. I'm going to carve my own path, pave my own way, and be happy being me.

Background/Bio

Like most on the Rim, Garrett grew up with a gun in his hand. Critters were always a problem, and when it wasn't critters it was bandits, and when it wasn't bandits it was Alliance.


He was happiest when he was hunting, had the patience for sitting around waiting and a knack for finding his targets. He wasn't good at much else, so when the recruiter came calling for the Browncoats he joined up. The army took those skills and honed them. Before long he was earning a reputation as a sniper, able to anticipate when targets were approaching and where, and take them out when they were barely in range.


And then it went wrong, as these things always do. What everyone assumed was good eyes and good instincts was actually reader talents and the war cracked them wide open. Garrett remembers a target that was barely visible, followed by terror and blinding pain. He woke up in the hospital.


He was still there when the war ended. In that first mad scramble after the surrender he was evacuated along with the rest of the walking wounded by pilot Paul Blakelock. Away from the hospital, Garrett began to learn how to control his powers.
