Gunnery Sergeant Desiring Peace
Pronouns: They/Them
Background / Bio
Desiring Peace is from a military lineage, and was set to enter Galactic Co-operative Peacekeepers from a relatively young age, following in the footsteps of their broodsire. They are dedicated to their service, and to the avoidance of violence wherever possible - but their philosophy definitely leans heavily on the 'prepare for war' element of the old adage.
They took up a position on the Firebrand long before it entered the Keter system, and have been living on board for quite a long time, advancing to a senior NCO position, and intentionally rising no further, since they like their level of responsibility and ability to stay active in their current stage.
They are not huge for a Chirrid, and usually seen dressed in a relatively traditionalist manner, with a long sleeveless coat in the Peacekeeper colours, a range of webbing, belts, and bandoliers containing supplies and weaponry, and a hardwearing unitard underneath, with their arms and legs free of clothing and usually painted in long-wearing paint in PK colours with their service symbols and rank insignia painted on their shoulders.
Their legs from mid-thigh down are surrounded by a mechnanical exoskeleton, which is glued onto and screwed directly into their carapace.
