Picture
Background
Born in UC 0052 he was a cocky lad who believed himself to be above pretty much everyone, however he was generally clever enough not to voice this to people that were big enough to hurt him. Which was quite a lot of people. He had a tendency to avoid doing things he considered work, which could be defined as anything he didn't want to do.
As he grew up this didn't change in the slightest, however he acquired some rather large friends and he realised that sometimes you just have to do what the person in charge says. He was never very good at holding down a job, usually because he voiced his opinions of the people he worked with and served at every opportunity, and this always got back to them.
By the time he was 22 he had acquired some rather large debts a fit of desperation he began to attempt insane “get rich quick” schemes, which never bore fruit, however they managed to make him even more cynical about the world. His last ditch effort to make money to repay some accumulating debts were at the craps table in a local casino, which paid off. Not being a stupid man he never pressed his luck too far, but he gambled enough to continue living and pay off his debts, sometimes he lost, more often than not he won.
This continued largely uninterrupted until the war broke out, when the draft was brought in he made it his goal to avoid it, his last attempt was feigning insanity, this didn't work as his plan was terrible, he stuck some pencils up his nose and said wibbil a lot, fooling no one. Thus he was drafted in September 0079
Personality
He is a cocky and fairly arrogant man, believing that he is just better than most people, he is a cynic, a liar and a schemer, he is not a great fan of the Federation government, nor any government viewing them all as incompetents, and militaries even less, viewing them as even more incompetent than most governments, he generally keeps his negative opinions of everything to himself having learned that not doing so is generally a bad idea.
In his spare time he does enjoy a verity of things, conversation he considers intelligent, reading, women, alcohol, gambling, politics (if only so he can make snide comments and think about how much better he could do) and many more things. On the battlefield he enjoys 1 thing above all else, not being dead, it's a simple thing and not an overly large request in his mind. However he does like the concept of not being at the bottom of the chain of command quite a lot as well, so he can become rather dedicated to his mission. He is most certainly not above shooting the enemy while they aren't looking, and in fact considers it a very good strategy that people should employ more often. He will often have a degree of affection for people he works with, despite what he may think of them and what he says, he will often defend people under the logic that “Only I get to insult them like that” though he will deny that he cares.
He generally believes that both sides in the war are complete idiots, his account of why the war started goes like this “Well, there was an overpopulation problem, so the government's solution was naturally to make giant space colonies, and make them overpopulated, this removes the overpopulation problem on Earth and makes everything perfectly fine... there was a small issue with this plan, it was bollocks, the colonies decided that listening to the Federation wasn't in their best interests and decided they were a nation, the Federation didn't like this and decided to place economic sanctions on them, then when the current leader died and the new slightly insane leaders took over Zeon, a war started.” Off the record he often calls the Federation “The Idiots” and Zeon “The Insane Idiots”
